So pain told you to take her Well I learned to accept that feeling 'Cause I found how to numb it If only for just a short while I'd get so high I'd forget my name I scarred my fists. I scarred my train I think that I'm going insane I think that I'm going insane
So drink up, so shoot in Why must this feeling end I crawled in my narcotic shell Was crucified in my own hell A gutter's where I found myself Among the waste I chose to well I chose to dwell
So now I'm in your system And I'm what helps you numb your pain Whit time you will confide in me So lonely my friend. I've made you lose control You'll use me more and more with time Our friendship grows with each mainline So glad that you could be so blind So glad that you could be so blind
So drink up, so shoot in 'Cause I'll make this feeling end I built you this narcotic shell I crucified you in your hell Your life not yours, you're just my slave I am your messiah of pain And time has come to Time has come to time has come to There's no time to pray
I am the thing that makes you sick I am the blame that gets placed quick Detect the crack within your lie (your lie) I'll be the wrath of your disdain I'll be the fear in you engrained Become the facts that you deny (deny) I can feel this pain is real I hate deep down inside And like broken glass you'll shatter With bloody fists I'll batter Like a ten ton hammer, son 1'll be the trembling in your breath Trickle of blood upon your flesh You'd love to watch me take the fall - FALL! I'll be the thing that you despise 'Cause I'm the path to your demise And I'm a be there standing tall - TALL! I can feel this pain is real I hate deep down inside And like broken glass you'll shatter With bloody fists I'll batter Like a ten ton hammer, son I can't stand or take another day my friend You could learn a thing or two I can't stand or take another day my friend You could learn a thing or two I can feel this pain is real I hate deep down inside And like broken glass you'll shatter With bloody fists I'll batter Like a ten ton hammer, son
Give me power to end all of the strife Courage to kill the pro-life
I don't want to see You can't change me You tell me not to bow Just follow for now You're oh so holier than thou
The more things change The more they stay the same The more things change The more they stay the same The more - things change The more - they stay - the same
Give me patience to deal with all the strain Balance to take the fuckin' pain
I don't want to fake
And I won't break We're too happy to be In our apathy We smile single file to the line
The more things change The more they stay the same The more things change The more they stay the same The more - things change The more - they stay - the same
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon We gotta wake up You don't know you're right Your right from wrong We gotta wake up
And I watched through bitter eyes As the blood filled in the cracks, black A burning effigy Told me I should kneel 'cause I'm worshipping With terror, a disease Burn the sacred oil
Chorus: They told us there'd never come a day They told us that we need not worry So we fucked around, thought this shit would change And turned our eyes away
I am the power siege And the rush you will feel, thrill Exploding out of me Through clenched teeth I will scream out We're suffering With malice you deceive Puke sold as salvation
Chorus
And I watched it slip away And you watched it slip away And we watched it slip away 'Cause no one took a stand
Bitterness infested, justice is molested Govern my contested ways As a child arrested, as a man detested Happiness inside my pain You hate my life Because you see my strife Could never understand or try It makes me mad Because it makes me sad But I don't care why
Pre-chorus: You fake it, mistake it Fuck it away Your lying is trying My dignity
Chorus: I see right through your soul Can't help but feel this cold But this city made me so
Life is filled with deception, unwanted inception Want redemption for it all All my life frustrated, pushed, alienated Wait for me to take a fall My faith has waned Because I feel the strain In my eyes it's all gone wrong We'll rise above From this lack of love It won't be long now
I want you to know this I want you to know just what I feel You told me through sacred lies I told you once with bloodshot eyes You told me don't ask Just stay away from me You told me it'd be alright I told you once, then told you twice You can't face Can't you face me
Chorus: I won't pray for you I can't pray for you Because you took it away Because you took it from me
First verse
Chorus
Thought I could never ever fuckin' find another Get a mothafuckin' chance again Because the power is the rage that can devour Gotta make that fear descend Without it, you ain't shit And you ain't shit to me Berating, a scathing Grave indignity I see the look inside your eyes It make me sick Defiling innocence Is how you get your kicks You violate, and then you think yourself a man You violate, and then you call yourself a man Don't come my way Don't care what you say Pray you fuckin' die Before you feel my... Rage...
A blind man asked an angel Could you please help But was told Take me from this altar I won't falter But I might fall This bitter man would understand Through all his life, a needle had Been his saviour, been his god So he tried to make a change Tried to rearrange Gun at his side, suicide
Pre-chorus: I can't help feel I been mistreated Won't you listen to me
Chorus: Despise all that I see All that I feel All that I want to be Burned, blistered and raw Tearing apart All that is sane to me
A wise man, half pariah Half messiah Came to seed Rain down blood like fire Born to sire Racist breed His dominance of ignorance Was rhetoric that made no sense Some believed in all the lies But in my mind I know what's wrong Way too fucking strong Taste revenge on my tongue
Pre-chorus
Chorus
And now is my time to rise And now is our time to rise Our time To rise Ignorant, indignant Promises made in vain Rise, I can't see like you Rise, I can't feel like you Rise, never be like you Rise, time for us all to Rise...

Bearing down upon a path we choose Chosen from the start living different rules Existence something to cherish true Will not succumb to doubts that I hold onto Release the fear of my pain In so much pain Give me the will to fight Every obstacle that I have inside Release the fear and Hear me now Words I vow No fucking regrets Fuck these chains No god damn slave I will be different I'll stand here defiantly My middle finger raised Fuck your prejudice
All my life Always I've felt alone Conditioned to believe that I'm always wrong Only truth will help to set me free My every weakness I must turn into strength Every rage, every tear Hate in so much hate Never that pain will bind me Ask of myself if I've the will to unwind Every rage and tear Hear me now Words I vow No fucking regrets Fuck these chains No god damn slave I will be different I'll stand here defiantly My middle finger raised Fuck your prejudice
Carved upon my stone I will go on Patience, belief Love will ascend
Just listen to it Voice so true inside calling To pick you up and march you on Keep from falling Let go your sorrow Sun will shine, this I promise Rising tommorow Rising
Hear me now I'm taking back the control Of my Life from societies hold I vow No more will I be a slave Rise to Challenge the whole human race My spirit you cannot break
Do you hear revolution's call? It's time to fight our own denial Warmongers keep us locked in fear Invoke the past, a moment of tears An ugly truth Put forth by our youth Under the threat of patriotic brute, so Use your rage It is a weapon We now must engage Let trumpets sound our call Or by their lies we will fall Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing Sing revolution's song When they say die Die for America Solo: Flynn, Demmel War! They say that freedom isn't free It's paid with the lives of sons and families 'Cause blood is their new currency And oil pumps the heart of money So fight as one Without a fucking gun Words are the bullets to this revolution Use your pain The battlegrounds, the streets are ablaze Excess will pave their path The winds of change, our bloodbath Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing Sing revolution's song When they say die Die for America Power and prejudice Actions they used to pit against Terror, insurgency Words used to scare conformity It's propaganda, it's their hypocrisy Free to choose our own slavery All suffer humanity Solo: Demmel, Flynn, Demmel, Flynn Fight Fight- for all that you love Scream - choking with foot upon throat Blind - star spangled eyes Death - no more the truth you will hide No, more So how do they sleep? While our mothers weep They're selling our souls And our blood for oil Our generation Can be the fucking one That overcomes the greed of corrupt nations Have no shame You're not alone in thinking this is fucking insane Rise up and take your stand And curl the fingers of your hand And I don't know what to do 'Cause I don't have the answers But with every ounce of strength I'll vow to fight this cancer Didn't say I want to lead I just might let you down Didn't say believe in me Just hold this common ground I'm just as lost as you And probably more confused So fucking far from perfect My mind wrecked from abuse There's something fucking wrong When war takes sons and daughters Our lambs misled to slaughter War! Clenching the fists of dissent Lies! Clenching the fists of dissent Fear! Clenching the fists of dissent Change! Clenching to hope
