Intro 01:36
2.
A final warning, the end is near No time for peace, this is the age of vengeance War is on the threshold No shelter, for no one, nowhere We're worse off than ever It's what we're lead to believe, what they want us to see Consumers of burning hate We're seduced by the flames and media is feeding fire Absorb the fear Embrace the flood Welcome the storm That'll tear this world apart No hope for mankind We've heard before and we'll hear of it again Self-fulfilling prophecies We are the profiteers of fear, masters of pain Drawn to the end like moths to flames Burn this world down to there's nothing left but ashes And the corrupted are feeding the fire More knowledge, less judgement More experts, no solutions More power, less understanding More peace, no security Is it really worse or is it the same A life ends where another begins This world's been mad from the beginning And it will be as long as this earth is spinning Is it really worse or is it the same A story ends where another begins This world's been mad from the beginning It goes on and on until this earth stops spinning

Deadweight 03:04
You're nothing but deadweight, bringing this down It's nothing new and we heard it before Preach to the choir, put yourself higher Hanging with your crew, call yourself radical The only fights you've fought have been at your own backyard So you read a lot and you've done the analysis You still stuck in the cracks and your mind is barred So quick to give lessons and hand out instructions Keep it to yourself - bring the chaos and ruction We told you once, we told you twice, we screamed it out but you still dont get If you dont like it then step back out, we're better off without you Dont judge by the cover that's what you said And then the irony when you do just that Act like you know from the look on a face You're on thin ice and I'll be under when it breaks We told you once, we told you twice, we screamed it out but you still dont get If you dont like it then step back out, we're better off without you You're a leech in deceptive design Infiltrate, disrupt and divide You're stuck in a fantasy We're right here in reality // This is reality
4.
Wired Shut 02:31
Torn from the roots in desperation Darkest of times leave all behind "never again" we promised each other But when push comes to shove you're not to be trusted Picked up on the street heard from another The words of contempt spread them like fire You're not first, should be the last 'Cause your ideas belong in the past Your mouth should be wired shut Cause innocent you're not Your mouth - wired shut You don't know what you talk about Still, you run your mouth Scared motherfuckers All bark and no bite Sick of your shit so get the fuck out Your mouth should be wired shut Cause innocent you're not Wired shut
5.
Out of Time 02:23
What if I knew back then Would I change or would I be the same? What if I knew back then Would I still be playing this game? And all the words are just words on repeat And all the right moves are just good cheat You look at me and think that Im fine But Im actually out of my fucking mind Im outta time and out of my mind So much to do but I get nothing done I'm stressed out almost every day Can't stay here, I need to get away Im on the move, going nowhere fast Cant keep an interest dont wanna get attached Not to you or to anyone alse 'cause just like me, your stuck in yourself Look at each other and guess it's fine When we're actually out of our minds Im outta time and out of my mind So much to do but I get nothing done I see my kids, they grow so fast Before I grasp I'm in the past So hard to live here and now Always ahead or a step behind So many friends I wanna meet But I got no time so they're hard to keep So much to do and I get nothing done
6.
Real Deal 02:39
Cant force inspiration Without bending the truth This is the real deal Aint counting likes or collecting smiles I'm doing this for me This is the real deal Follow the guidelines Watch your step Do as you've been told Or you end up in regret Don't listen to that This is our last outlet A place with no rules Sheep follow, now tell me who are you Leave the blueprints to the haters I'm not here to please anyone No compromise i wont stand in line Walk away, create a path that's mine

Bad Seed 02:40
I am my father's son And my mother's sorrow Born with doubt and I cant sort it out I try to move but you're holding me back Always present, always around Even though you left me behind I never wanted to be like you But look at me now Always told that I'd be nothing Always knew, they were wrong I grew a hate so strong One day you'll reap what you've sown All my life I've relied on lies Never shown the tears I've cried Covered up all the shit you've done Fooled myself that I won I've seen all my dreams die (and) my nightmares come alive Flames of hate kept me warm One day I'll release this storm Always told that I'd be nothing Always knew, they were wrong I grew a hate so strong One day you'll reap what you've sown A story told from a broken home About a kid without hope Think twice before you throw Before you throw the first stone Stories told from broken homes Even small seeds grow One day you'll reap You will reap what you've sown
8.
I've kept coming here for years and each time I've been a little bit wiser I've seen this place change, each time for the worse Tried to turn my back, to stick my head in the sand Cause I cant face the world today it only brings me down The more we know, the more we suffer The truth disturbs so we take comfort in lies Whatever makes you satisfied Whatever makes you sleep at night Lock the door, close your eyes Good night sleep tight I miss the days of denial, when I still had hope But those days are long gone, now I cant get no rest Seen through bitter eyes Every day I'm proven right Tired of swinging my fists around In this losing fight All I got is this place that's getting bleaker every day My soul's infested with the problems of this world Fuck this madness, I just want my life back
9.
The ones you despise I can see it in your eyes Under your attack Born of the wrong side of the tracks Raised to do whats right Underdogs, ready for a fight Winter is coming for you So beware of this northern crew Step back we're the cousins from the north and we're here to bring it forth Step back, we're gonna knock down your door 'cause we're here to settle the score Driven by blind greed Now you bite the hand that feeds Mining and cutting trees The money ends up overseas Up north once a year Hit the slopes and aprés-ski But back on city streets You call us lazy, dumb and weak Step back we're the cousins from the north and we're here to bring it forth Step back, we're gonna knock down your door 'cause we're here to settle the score Next time we see you, you better watch your step You've got no power, cause we've taken it all back Next time we see you, you better watch your step The days of defense is over and we're set to attack
