Choose Your Fate


[Spoken]
Have you ever given any thought to the fate of your children?
We’ve made good progress…
[Scrambled words]
Slowly but surely achieving our objective…

Liar - slipped from the tongue
Like the breath of a prophet -
Cloaked in blood kissed with a bomb from the heart of flawless number one

In a home that’s broken and silent
The truth will not be heard
In the forceful roar of a tyrant
Freedom is a loaded word

Compliance - this morbid code
Leaves the carcass a feast for -
The corrupt where power is love blind allegiance warmly smiled upon

In a place where thought is abandoned
Freedom can become a curse

Beggars, choose your fate
The reaction, the reaction is awake
So choose your fate
The reaction, the reaction is awake

Cuz when the meaning fails to be objectified lies will carry through
Until you see them staring from the other side -
Back at you
Back at you

YOU!!!
YOU!!!!!

Now they will try to sell you for all - you’re - worth

Yeah
When the meaning fails to be objectified their lies -
(To be objectified)
Will stare back at you from the other side – at you
(From the other side)

Beggars, choose your fate
The reaction, the reaction is awake
So choose your fate
The reaction, the reaction is awake
Yeah!
Awake!
Yeah!
Awake!

Choose your, own fate!
Already!
The reaction is awake!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!

LIAR!!!
LIAR!!!
LIAR!!!
LIAR!!!

Wake Up


We are alive for a moment
One second in the great abyss of time
All the bleedin', all the hate
Just one blink of an eye
All the conflicts, it visits dire pain on human life
Are we missing what it is to be alive?

One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
We learn to live without it

WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone

Our innocence is a virtue
But our arrogance will only leave us blind
Unattended without anyone to save our idle lives
Will we find out that everything we know exists inside of a fraction
Of a fraction

One by one the pieces fall again

WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone away!

One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!

One by one the pieces fall (one by one the pieces fall)
Until our pride defeats us all
DEFEATS US ALL!
YEAH!

OOHH!!
WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone

WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone away

It's gone away
Yeah

The Antidote


Now the damage has been done
And this machine has begun on a path of destruction
We need the medicine
To reverse what's been done
Before this disease has destroyed everything we know
EVERYTHING WE KNOW!

All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all

With our weapons drawn and all our resources gone
We're facing extinction
The only antidote consists of blood, sweat, and hope
And a blueprint to save us from all that we've become
ALL THAT WE'VE BECOME!

All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us
Here inside us all!

Yeah!
Oh

Now the gears they will fail to turn
As the lights go out
And the sun will be all that burns on our way down
(On our way down)
But right now we have to understand the problem
AND OVERCOME!

So arm yourself
Your mind's your gun
It's time to learn
Accept what's done, and yeah
REPAIR THIS DESTRUCTION!

ALL WE NEED IS A REASON
ALL WE NEED IS RIGHT HERE INSIDE US
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all

All we need is a reason
All we need is right here inside us
Here inside us all!

Tell Me

They locked the door
Give me the strength to break it down
Yeah we've always faced this world as one
And I know there's nothing different now
Because this heart is true
It's true, it's true!

So tell me
Tell me that I'm not all alone
And everything's alright
So tell me
Tell me that I'm not all alone
And everything's alright now

Tonight we'll tear this city down
Yeah we're gonna drive all night
Reach the sun (I'll pray that time won't end)
I'll pray that time will never end
Race the clock again with you
With you!

So tell me
Tell me that I'm not all alone
And everything's alright
So tell me
Tell me that I'm not all alone
And everything's all right
Everything's alright now!

We are the light inside of the fire below
We are the broken
We are the rising tide and the undertow
Yeah!
One love

So tell me

And everything's alright!
So tell me
Tell me that I'm not all alone

Angel In The Swamp


OHHHH!!!

In this home - quiet the sin
Violence is known
Only by the ones who bare these walls
She is saint - hiding it all
Underneath her smile - her soul is shamed

Cuz a fathers hands speak a thousand words of what he thinks of her
With the sound of her breaking down one day -
When the pain is gone she will finally know, she is not alone
But the sound of her breaking down seems never-ending now

OHHHH!!!
The worst is over
Yeah the worst is over
Yeah the worst is over now

For so long - she holds the blame
She bares the curse
Weighing down on everything she knows
Honor betrayed - taken away
Even now the brightest star - will fade

Cuz a fathers hands speak a thousand words of what he thinks of her
With the sound of her breaking down one day -
When the pain is gone she will finally know, she is not alone
But the sound of her breaking down seems never-ending now

OHHHH!!!
The worst is over
Yeah the worst is over
Yeah the worst is over now

She’s alone
She’s alone
She’s alone
NOW!!!

Cuz a fathers hands speak a thousand words of what he thinks of her
With the sound of her breaking down one day -
When the pain is gone she will finally know, she is not alone
But the sound of her breaking down seems never-ending now

Yeah, seems never-ending now

OHHHH!!!
Now the worst is over
Yeah the worst is over
Yeah the worst is over
No!

NOOOOOOO!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

NO!

The Black Swan


OOOOHHHHH!

Whooaa
Far beyond the reach of prediction
Lies a promise of a break in the code
And the truth untold
Just before the Black Swan arises
The horizon will be invisible
As the events unfold
Unfold, oh no

The explosion fathers a wave
Consequence we'll take to the grave
To the grave!
Take to the grave!
Take to the grave

Far beyond the realm of perception
Our assumptions dissipate in the void, paradigm destroyed
When everything that seems to be constant
Shifts direction and defies what we know
Everything that we hold so close

The explosion fathers a wave (The explosion fathers a wave)
Consequence we'll take to the grave (Take to our graves)
What we'll never anticipate (What we'll never anticipate)
Consequence we'll take to the grave
To the grave!
Take to the grave!
Take to the grave
TO THE GRAVE!
TO THE GRAVE!

AAHH!!
YEAH!
Unexpected the impact of once it come
Everlasting the fall that will carry on
Waiting quietly beyond hexagon
To unravel the cannon baring the one

The explosion fathers a wave (The explosion fathers a wave)
Consequence we'll take to the grave (Take to your graves)
What we'll never anticipate (What we'll never anticipate)
Consequence we'll take to the grave
To the grave!
Take to the grave!
Take to the grave
TO THE GRAVE!
TO THE GRAVE!

Message To The World


Another world collides, will we open the door
A message to the world it seems like
Everyone has a god standing up for what we think we know
Do we know?

We've got so far to go from here
And we've got so much to lose
With American eyes, yeah
And curious hearts, we've got so much to learn
So we find, we find

When you kill me, do it slowly
When we've come undone
When you kill me, please do it slowly
Send a message to the world (A message to the world)

Another war will rise, will we open the floor
Listen to the words it seems like
Everyone has a cause fighting for a world we think we own
But do we know?

We've got so far to go from here
And we've got so much to lose
With American eyes, yeah
And curious hearts, we've got so much to learn
So we find (we find!)

Apathy Is A Deathwish


All eyes are focused on the captivating man.
His intentions all but clear,
sway the crowd with stone in hand.

Cause we all wait for something else to save us.
With eyes closed we find it all the differences left us dead (inside)
We can't walk the line unconscious this time.
Cause our apathy is a deathwish.

Blank stares across the room take in the dead broadcast.
All ambitions disappear waiting for our lives to pass.
How long will this last?

Cause we all wait for something to believe in.
With all hope that we might find the answers to what we left.
Inside, we can't walk through life unconscious.
This time, cause our apathy is a deathwish.
Inside, we can't walk through life unconscious.
This time, cause our apathy is a deathwish.

As we look to entertainers to fulfill our hopeless lives,
We deaden our own passions, forfeit our bookless minds,
When everybody's guilty, and no one can prove they're right,
And the only race worth running is to further humankind.
Humankind.
Dead inside.
Indifference will bleed us dry inside.

Inside, we can't walk through life unconscious.
This time, cause our apathy is a deathwish.
Inside, we can't walk through life unconscious.
This time, cause our apathy is a deathwish.
A deathwish.

We Are Not Gonna Make It


OH!

He steps a shot foot into the room
She knows that this day's been long over due
Now as the tears fall down her face
The pain is real and it's starting to show

She says I know
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away

And with a whisper she mumbles through
I guess they just won't accept me and you
They see a difference in skin
But I thought that love was always true
Who would have known?
That in a search for a parent's love
Her happiness though is just not enough (Not enough)
She tries to keep it inside
But through these hopeless eyes the world isn't mine

She says I know
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
(I'll show you) Until the line starts to fade away
(I'll show you) Until the line starts to fade away

I know I can show you that I'm not afraid
NO! (Because tomorrow will come)
And no I'm not afraid
(And we will no longer run)
And no I'm not afraid
(Because tomorrow will come)
And I am not afraid, not afraid

We're not gonna make it
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
(I'll show you) The line starts to fade away
(I'll show you) The line starts to fade away
(I'll show you) This line starts to fade
It all starts to fade
It all starts to fade away

OH!
