Welcome to the morning news, don’t think about the event.
Remain indoors and close your eyes, you shouldn’t question what we’ve said.
You woke up this morning and you begged for the status quo.
A return to normality and the safety that you think you know.
But the system you remember, that’s what got you here.
Drowning in your nostalgia, until you’ve realized all your fears.
You’ll justify anything to feel like you’re on the right side.
But when you face the consequences, you’ll have nowhere left to hide.
So desperate to win every single debate.
You won’t learn until it’s too fucking late.
Self-righteous indignation disguised as concern.
You have no idea of the punishment you’ve earned.
From both your faces, apathy abounds.
Soon you’ll feel so very lost, you’ll never want to be found.
It’s not what you expected, but it’s what you deserve.
All that's left beyond this point is choosing who to serve.
Maybe you can join us, maybe you’ll improve.
Maybe you’ll misplace your mind, if you have any left to lose.
Control is not your strong suit, so just give in and kneel.
So confused by fantasy, you don’t even know what's real.
Now put aside your worries and cremate all your cares.
Place your hand above your heart, because Chaos lives right there.
There's no need to panic, there's nothing you can do.
Just stay calm and carry on. We have our eyes on you.

Pretend

Tried to fix our heads
We came apart instead
Into a little dream
That's not quite what it seems
The monsters here are real
Our skin begins to peel
We pick until we bleed
To feel the pain we need
We’re falling back again
To where it all begins
The tensions rising up
And everything is fucked
We don’t know who to blame
Because they look the same
These filthy fucking worms
Will get what they deserve
There's no need to pretend
That we don’t want it to end
Set the trash heap alight
Wave goodbye to the blight
How much can we take
of fear we’ll never wake
This torment knows no end
How far must we descend
These people half asleep
Identified as sheep
Their vain and plastic dreams
Just scratching at the seams
To tear this world apart
And crush our beating hearts
We’re burning in our wrath
For glowing aftermath
We’d rather smash our skulls
Than be so fucking dull
This suffering release
Will finally bring us peace
There's no need to pretend
That we don’t want it to end
Set the trash heap alight
Wave goodbye to the blight

Peacekeepers

Here we go again
Marching into sin
We’re rotten to the core
And must be cleansed by war
In violence we can live
And bullets can forgive
So dig a little hole
It’s time to save your soul
Who knew keeping peace required so much death
We’ll never see the face of God until our final breath
We worship pain and toxic savagery
All the prayers in the world can’t redeem humanity
Conflict gives us peace
In death we’ll find release
From all we thought we were
When all our eyes were blurred
This world is just disease
With nothing left to seize
So what can we defend
Except this bitter end
Who knew keeping peace required so much death
We’ll never see the face of God until our final breath
We worship pain and toxic savagery
All the prayers in the world can’t redeem humanity

Resist
03:34

Hate is something they do well
Destroy the weak to please themselves
Fear is all they really need
To keep the masses on their knees
Their whole system needs to fall
Before their greed consumes us all
Don’t fall for the web they weave
They only know how to deceive
Watch them weep as markets crash
And all their lies are burnt to ash
There's nowhere that they can run
When their whole world has come undone
Raise your voice or make a fist
There's no wrong way to resist
They can’t tell you who to be
Or take away your dignity
Fight against their mind control
The only way to free your soul

Madness Lies
03:48
|

A moment of silence is all it takes
She slips inside, oh those chemical eyes
Looking deep, what will they see?
Memories of you that you could never be
“Oh what a fool” she whispers in the dark
The story ends, you’ve played your part
All those distractions, the ones you adore
Will be your downfall, forever more
Time and time again, you're on your own
and you always have been
We've seen it all before, a hollowness of truth
When madness lies and there's nothing you can do
That's why you've built this perfect cage
and made sure you can't escape
It keeps you hollow, to keep you numb
It keeps your species blind and dumb
There is no waking up from this
