Fear 02:44
Chaos in the street No one left unscathed Charred by the heat Are they still not afraid? Destruction on the news Blasted in our eyes Exterminate the views You and your brethren despise Brainwashed by liars (pull up the blinds) Fucked up views from delusional minds Exceptions to rules (which allow you to kill) Are they evil or mentally ill? Fresh recruits With an new sense of hate Low hanging fruit For you to dictate Drone strikes for breakfast Just like you ordered A massive blast Innocents slaughtered Once again, the terrorists win The bait is swallowed, they're under our skin We blame the innocent for the works of the insane Ask yourself, what do we gain?

No Way Out 02:38
Close your eyes so you don’t have to see What your faith might actually be Your critics are always completely wrong To stand the blasphemy you must stay strong Your mission is to make others believe Use all the tricks hidden in your sleeve Shield your mind from facts and reason To think for yourself would be high treason Shout and preach your words of hate Stick to the plan, you must not deviate Demand respect for your wicked views Freedom of speech you must abuse Your reign will soon be over Coming of the high, becoming sober Every day your support fades Your fall is something you can’t evade Strange thoughts from down below Reason just simply can’t be overthrown It’s coming for you, don’t be scared You can’t stop it, you won’t be spared

Apocalypse 02:26
Hide yourself, cower in your shelter Waiting for a world that might be better See the light, waiting for your lord to descend Make yourself as small as you can, waiting for the end Go for a wild shopping spree You need to stay alive to be freed Never mind what your books have said You’re no good to the almighty dead Save yourself, and all those you hold dear Crouch together and your lord will appear Shining bright, you may step into the light This is your final journey, hold on tight Hold on as the world slips Get ready for the apocalypse Lightning strikes, oceans part The end of the world now starts Waves crash, buildings collapse Think of how your lives were elapsed Brewing storms, earthquakes rumbling Listen to all the people drowning Washing the whole world away Is this really your god at play?
4.
Feel the passion burn in your heart Every shred of logic is being torn apart Gather people for a greater cause To rid the world from all its flaws Your newfound vision starts to corrode your mind Your brain rots until there’s nothing left to find Your own ideas are all you seem to understand All to make the world exactly as planned Convince the world with a pointed gun Forcing all your opponents to run Rise and spread your wings And so your revolution begins : Make sure your vision expands Shape the world with your own two hands Kill those who stand in your way Make sure they won’t have anything to say
