Thirteen 03:34
Our backs, our homes, our spirits Are breaking down Just as we expected Caught by surprise Time has stopped forever As the world believes That tomorrow holds the promise Of everlasting peace Even with this curse we fly on Never touch the ground Fuck this, fuck you, fuck everything Let’s tear it down The law, those guns, we the people To flip that switch Uphold the pulse of a nation And set flame to it Time has stopped forever As it needs it fix Reset, up rise, and defeat Itself from within All to gain, and none to lose A spoiled host Fuck this, fuck you, fuck everything Let’s burn it down Wasn’t the last straw That, keeps, hope That broke this camel’s back It was the millions beneath Unlucky 13 Never return Centuries sleep Arrogance Arrogance at its reign
2.
Knee deep in the wisdom, of the ignorant You can only hold on, for so long, so long A time in hell, has been postponed To live the dream While the murder of that dream is now upon Crawling slowly, return to slumber What has happened, as it turns For all the promises, we still get by And for all the hopes we once have had, have died Walking toward damnation, send us now To the bottom of hell, at the bottom of hell How we’ve fallen, back to sleep What has happened, now that we all have returned to sleep So now the dream is a lie, and we intend to live it The dream is gone And now the dream is alive, and we intend to kill it The dream is gone The dream is alive, and we intend to kill it Kill, kill To the bottom of hell At the bottom of hell
3.
We’re cutting the throat, of the heavens Until the earth, is overflowed In blood, we are forgotten dead Ascending the heavens, strapped, and bring some war Approaching the ruins, awaiting the skies fall Dust to dust My god, that’s a lot of blood Even at your strength, your falling down There’ll be no getting stronger I’ll take this breath, out of your lungs GASOLINE We set the fires, and watch the flames Your right, were awaiting the skies fall Dust to dust, my god that’s A lot of blood Accountable for all you’ve been through, there’ll be no getting stronger Ill breath this death, into your lungs Right into your lungs Into your lungs Its your gun vs our gun Its your gun vs our gun
4.
When you don’t believe in god, you’re not afraid to sin There’s a subtle difference between, murder and killing see the evil in the way we all live, free the souls, let the cleansing begin Feel the power, as my demon descends Both sides are enemy He couldn’t make up his mind, in time you’ll see what it cost him He walked away, and he died. In the place of angels that roam here And now the sympathy, has seemed to come to pass, I am in hell And for the price I paid, the lesson couldn’t last, this cross I’ll bear Blood, bloodshed Bloodshed, bloodshed And now an enemy (an enemy), has risen yeah at last Bloodshed, denial We fought 1000 times, crosshairs are marking your back with We hope to sever the ties, in the place of angels who suffer And now the enemy, has risen yeah at last, ill lose this war And in the end it seems, it’s all that I’ve got left Ill burn this world Bloodshed Denial And now the sympathy, and for the price I paid the lesson couldn’t last Bloodshed Denial Angels, nowhere to run Angels, no place to run

Ours to Save 02:48
I, for a moment, almost believed in this You, for a lifetime, have always hidden the truth, let’s go Our arms held high and shouting, where are the brave Who they are, and where they come from, their ours to save Cross ill bear it, for eternity Loss, we can’t feel it Enough to set things straight Our arms held high and shouting, where are the brave Who they are, and what they stand for, their ours to save, our brave All of these kings And more of their horses Are beating their chests GOD, COUNTRY, WAR All of these kings And more of their horses Are beating their chests All of their lives, and more of their freedoms Lay at their rests
6.
It’s in the way that we fall, and in the way that we crawl That brings us, all together It’s all a part of this, crushing in faith Come on and lets Let’s watch these gluttons, fucking force fed, all the shit they’re owed And as we watch, as these fuckers explode It still isn’t worth it Once so full of life, yet somehow so dead, we are walking cold So what’s the point, when we’re nothing but bones It still isn’t worth it Fears inside our hearts, crushing our faith, come on and lets It’s over before, its starts its tear, come on and lets Let’s watch these gluttons, fucking force fed, all the shit they’re owed And as we watch, as these fuckers explode It still isn’t worth it Welcome to, this fucking place, a place to settle the score with pain This is not, our fucking place, the time has come for you to pay
7.
Lion 02:44
Your heart remains on fire, there is no use for it anymore This passion, paints the world with blood, with blood Once you cut the cord Our nation of anxiety Once you’ve raised the sword All becomes god There is a public stress, our hearts don’t beat for this, anymore Our passion ends this worlds pain, with pain Once you cut the cord Our nation of anxiety Once you’ve raised the sword All becomes god Were all in exile, without conviction Without an end, in like In like a lion, out like a lamb You fucking are, this passion ends this worlds pain, with pain Once you cut the cord Our nation of anxiety Once you’ve raised the sword All becomes god In with the lions Now sleep With the fucking lamb The lamb
8.
While we’re all hoping, that we’re all still here tomorrow It’s tough to find the strength, while eating all the lies With bellies full, were left to starve from all the starving And left without, all the heart Enough’s enough, the silence from screaming tongue is bugged They claim to help us, while ignoring all our cries Too many chiefs, but not enough to us Indians All hands on deck, this is set to fail All this pissed on our doorstep, while we It’s not enough to say, you’ll always do the right thing You talk the talk, and walk the walk without a spine A rash of distrust, is spreading through these failing walls The echoed cries of revolution The final blow will come, before you can guard the necks Of those who have not, wedged our trust The future is here, so brace yourself for justice at last All hands on deck, this is set to fail When there is no light, from these skies Were all in Cursed we’ll all be, cuz forever was yesterday All this pissed on our doorstep While we sleep
9.
Question the answers, when you believe in god Beaten words, into your skulls, if you trust in god Come on, be a slave Never walk again by your own strength There’s always a string Peace or, pray that it kills me (yeah) Fucking disciples, yeah they fight for god Triumphantly, show their teeth As they, die for god Come on, be a slave Never walk again by your own strength There always a string Home You better pray, that this kills me For when the bleeding is over When you give respect, we feed it to the wolves And when you give respect We feed that shit straight to the wolves

The Ride 03:49
Forked tongues speak in words you can’t hear the truth, and still we hang on those words Glass half empty seems to overflow, and it can always get worse Introducing a new man born in this Godforsaken world Introduce the end of this, introduce the end Never to return, this man’s gone home Always the last to run Christ has emptied all his cares and cries All in the aftermath Hole em high, watch em die, in their eyes you despise Your blood is frozen I can see all the fear, as it runs from your eyes commit to running Praying for the end of this pain and the end of this road Your blood is frozen Now you choke on those words, I had spoke Seemed to be taken for granted In good faith It’s time to take that fucking ride Get in Jump on in and lets (ride) Hold em high, watch em die, in their eyes you despise Your blood is running I can see all the fear, as it runs from your eyes Commit to running Praying for the end of this pain and the end of this road An existence mundane I can see all the fear and the pain in the end Taken for granted In good faith Its time to take that fucking ride Get in Jump on in and lets Ride
