"Captains Of Industry"
 
We kick the bucket and they drink us dry
Non essential work down on supply
We till the soil and work the fields
Another twenty years
My fingers bleed

You've gotta believe it
It's gotta be seen to believed

A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake
It can break your resolve
This tattered life torn and despised
It can swallow you whole

At the mercy of this machine
Our price to pay
Our burden to bear
Taking liberties with an innocent lie
Just another cog in this infernal machine
Another fifty years for someone to see

You've gotta believe it
It's gotta be seen to believed

A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake
It can break your resolve
This tattered life torn and despised
It can swallow you whole

At the mercy of their machine
We're at the mercy of their machines

Shake hands (shake hands)
With the captains of industry
[x4]

Shake hands with the captains of industry
[x3]

"No Honour Among Thieves"
 
Mark these words and hear their truth
You mean nothing to me
Your handshakes to play fake make me want to scream
The engine runs harder than your lies never could
Than your lies ever could
Just to mark these words

What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
[x2]

Thieves stealing the beating heart of our art
And trample it into dust
Like lifelines and hard times
There are enough to go around
Break the back of this slavery
We are nothing but cattles
Another sale in the marketplace
There's enough to go around

What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
[x2]

We disengage
Nothing left to say (nothing left to say)
To hold us down (nothing left to say)
To hold us down (we disengage)

What price do we pay for something that we give away?
To reclaim what we have lost
Never to be found
[x2]

"Wrench"
 
We look past the obvious
We blind ourselves to the truth
No escape
Resistance is futile
The old roads lead back home
A place where I belong
I lay my head where I lay my head
Affection without rejection
A clenched fist screaming

There's pain and then there's living
Both make sense to those who are willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on
We carry on

Sacrifice every day
To make amends for the debt we pay
An instrument of constant struggle
There's nothing left to regret
A promise is a promise kept
Whether history will forget
To open up with friendly arms
This wrench screaming

There's pain and then there's living
Both make sense to those who are willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on
We carry on
[x2]

We struggle every day
Never giving up or giving in
No single sense of self-respect
We turn around and walk away
No sense of community
We fear each and every day
Behind closed doors and closed minds
We shelter away from our lives

There's pain and then there's living
Both make sense to those who are willing
And there's nothing left to say
We carry on
We carry on
[x2]

We carry on
We carry on
We carry
We carry on

"Serpents In Solitude"
 
Question, nothing will come of it
Replace, Destroy the parts that never seem to fit
Cancer spreads through the nerve, through the tissue and we burn
Infecting visuals giving nothing in return

Resolutions, they never come
The words come out, like vipers tongues
Diseases spread through the world with no solutions and we burn
Infecting everyone they meet until we’re singing the same damn song

I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise

I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise

Resolutions, they never come
The words come out, like vipers tongues
Diseases spread through the world with no solutions and we burn
Infecting everyone they meet until we’re singing the same damn song

I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise

I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise
(Of our Demise)

If you want to believe in, believe in something
No holy cause will change your mind

I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise

I have blood on the brain
I see red like a snake
Clearing way for the armies of our demise

"Vultures"
 
There’s a point to make
That sometimes goes unheard
Like the blood in your veins
You often forget

What we are is a species on the brink
Who’ll be left to pick our bones clean

And the vultures swarm high above
Ready to feed of the last of us

Sacrificial lambs
Lead to the slaughter
We eat the shit
They feed us everyday

When there’s one great idea amongst the rest
They try their best to put it back in its place

And the vultures swarm high above
Ready to feed of the last of us
So carve me up and hold me down
I’m not done speaking my mind

They said it wouldn’t hurt one bit when they brought us to the brink
They said it wouldn’t hurt one bit
Extinction, it’s on our minds

"Damned If You Do, Dead If You Don't"
 
Our lives are lived
By loving disaster, ending disastrous love
Forever obsessed by the essence of death
We celebrate it

So sing it loud, I’m not giving up on you or anyone I know
So sing it loud, I’m not giving up on you or anyone I know

Reaching out for something but we dunno what we need
As time slowly passes by, grey hair appears behind your eyes

Damned if you do, dead if you don't it’s the age of youthfulness

To cause or curse
As if it spoke to claim them the light will guide us
And our shepherd will guide our way through this propaganda

So sing it loud, I’m not giving up on you or anyone I know
So sing it loud, I’m not giving up on you or anyone I know

Reaching out for something but we dunno what we need
As time slowly passes by, grey hair appears behind your eyes

Damned if you do, dead if you don't it’s the age of youthfulness

I have a feeling, at the bottom of this glass
Everything will pass, at least not for us
So sing it loud

Damned if you do dead if you don’t

Reaching out for something but we dunno what we need
As time slowly passes by, grey hair appears behind your eyes

Damned if you do, dead if you don't it’s the age of youthfulness
 

"Sixteen"
 
Waltzing daydream serenade
Preaching god and country like lines on a telegraph
Seems like we all want to be
So very different but nothing changes

Young and defenceless, a waiting son at arms
Beating hearts against a tide of one
Young and defenceless, a waiting son at arms
Beating hearts against a tide of one

We all end up like magazines
Crumpled up discarded, catalogued, forgotten
Read the pages that are free
Living something careless
Just sixteen all over

Young and defenceless, a waiting son at arms
Beating hearts against a tide of one
Young and defenceless, a waiting son at arms
Beating hearts against a tide of one
Beating hearts against a tide of one
Cause we’re all alone
We’re all alone
Beating hearts against a tide of one
Beating hearts against a tide

Young and defenceless, a waiting son at arms
Beating hearts against a tide of one
Beating hearts against a tide of one
We’re all alone
We’re all alone
Beating hearts against a tide of one

GO!

"Old Hymns"
 
We're sinking, sinking into the stone
We're drinking, drinking our way to hell.
There's nothing we can do to save the skin on our backs again.

So I'll just sit back and we’ll just pretend that it's all better.
When I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the cracks.

Stop thinking, start making sense.

You're thinking, thinking what the fuck happened to me.
You're working, working yourself into a mess.
There's nothing you can do to save yourself from caving in.

So I'll just sit back and we’ll just pretend that it's all better.
When I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the cracks.

Stop thinking, stop making sense (to me).

I used to mean something to you,
But now I'm tired and alone.
I used to mean something to you,
Locked out and left here in the cold.

I used to mean something to you,
But now I'm tired and alone.
I used to mean something to you,
Locked out and left here in the cold.
