Prelude 02:42
2.
so begins the countdown towards the dawn of a new day the mechanical responses feed the attack of the decay the empires of restriction have been leading us astray the false reality of this time begins to fade away its all designed to fail, its time to face the facts these are the final moments before the collapse, the last moments left before it fades to black, this world is pushing you & now its time to push back one day you'll stand on top of the forgotten empires i helped to create one day you'll realize that we all fall apart in exactly the same way one day you'll act upon the constant feeling thats been burning in your brainthere is no violence greater than that which flows thru our veins the force that burns inside of us destroys captivity the violence flowing thru our veins defines infinity a hard reset is needed as the push to set us free this movement towards transistion tears apart complancency we will not stand complacently so begins the era of creative violence

StagNation 04:35
they don’t make a sound a whole culture of fear & we’ve heard it before & its thesame damn thing again no sense self defined by those that lead the only weapon is noise their only feeling is weak no sense of trust they try to tear down whats pure & they welcome their fate by pushing the single vision more & more dead to themselves afraid just to exist a whole culture of fear but all i really want to know is are you suffering ? are you bleeding are you feeling? (because) there is no place left to hide when the sky turns red like a suicide but all they say is it really makes no diffrence to me what was pure will be defaced till it’s all burned down & its all erased but all they say is it really makes no difference to me they are the dead emotion (repeat)
4.
Last Alive 04:18
We are the next armageddon We are the brand new feeling of pain We are the result of a world gone mental We are the result of a world that’s gone insane This goes out to the last ones left alive the ones that never run & hide the ones that make this planet burn Just when you think that you are free they prey upon your inconsistencies Its time to make this planet burn We are the feeling you can’t buy into We hold the infinite feeling of disdain We are the product of the fading structure We are the new resistance unrestrained As the dust begins to clear the former structures start to fade When you fall through the hole you’ll never be the same this goes out to the last ones left alive the ones that never run and hide the ones that make this planet burn
5.
Endemic 03:46
So they say don’t worry everythings ok Whats false misled embraced when corruption rules the day It builds it spreads like a virus designed to seal the fate The fear the doubt pushes towards the expiration date You will see it all come down in your lifetime (repeat) So they try to pry but you gotta cut to kill Whats blind distracts programmed is forced against the will It builds it spreads like a virus designed to seal the fate The fear the doubt pushes towards the expuration date You will see it all come down in your lifetime (repeat)
6.
Life Support 04:41
I don’t need the fake solutions or the endless confusion or your ideas on what is best for me I don’t need your constant sedation in a crumbling nation to medicate me & make my life ok I don’t need outdated conclusions & the dead institutions to be the person i know i was born to be Because I’m not the problem you're the anti-solution take a look at it all & realize This whole world feels like it’s on goddamn life support (repeat) I don’t need your worn out expressions or your made up depressions to drive the feeling that burns inside of me I don’t need your triggered collapses for the dumbed down masses to make me feel like i should be afraid I don’t need outdated traditions or the failing conditions to distract who i know i was born to be Because I’m not the problem you're the anti-solution take a look at it all & realize This whole world’s on life support (repeat) The coming collapse is imminent with the masses feeding into it, it’s only a matter of time before it all flat lines (repeat) Should the plug be pulled or should we continue on? The situation has been critical for far to long (repeat)
7.
Rise Up 04:38
you will try to define a million times look at mirrors at your own mortality to find that the soulless heart beating in the background is your own the stage is set for annihilation as the crowd leans forward in anticipation this is the time to define your life you’ve got to rise up its time to give them all exactly what they deserve you know that they’ve been demanding it for far to long so rise up it’s time to give them all exactly what they deserve you know that they’ve been demanding it & the time is right to rise rise get up its time to rise (repeat) ascend beyond the constant stream your whole life spent searching for just one thing but what you’re searching for will always lie inside rise up against their false creation in a time pushing towards total detonation the time is now to pull the screen from your eyes there is no place left to hide the time is right for you to rise it’s time to make your voices heard & give them all what they deserve

arms raised defiant scream strap me to the dream i’ll lead the march straight into hell even if i lose myself (only to) come out the other side skin torched still alive the result of what we create solidifies our fate & it brings us closer to the ending what's ending the ending swallows us whole (repeat) this becomes my role you know the ending swallows us whole this becomes my role you know the ending swallows us the ending swallows us whole the result of what we create solidifies our fate because the more & more i feed into it the more & more it devours me but it’s exactly what i wanted the ending what's ending the ending swallows us whole (repeat) like this the ending swallows us whole (repeat) this is the point where nothing really feels like it’s real to take in anymore this is the point where the sky opens up bleeds on us and nails us to the floor
9.
I've been left for dead but I have yet to be erased I've been left to rot but i can never be replaced The flesh can be destroyed but there is one thing they can't change My legacy of dust continues on beyond my name All my life I've been surrounded by a world set on defeat I've built myself back up no matter what they’ve tried to delete No matter what they do I won't become the thing I hate My legacy of dust will live beyond what I create After everything fades away What I left behind will stay It lives on beyond the rust It is a legacy of dust One thing that remains clear they can never silence my legacy I have become what that they fear a destructive member of a sick society A crippled time of false beliefs can not kill the force that's inside of me Nothing corrupts what makes me free no matter how dark it gets outside of me A legacy of dust (repeat) I've become creation I've become destruction I've become a death wave Devoid of their corruption I've become relentless I've become free I’ve become unstoppable because of my legacy
10.
It’s time to abandon the control structures of restriction The time is now to awaken from the state of what’s conditioned The momentum has been building to keep the fake illusion The end result is a system full of deception & delusion The inaction of our species paves a path towards our extinction The self destructive traits paint a gray future without distinction The struggle only building towards a negative conclusion A dead end civilization that's in need of resolution If my words could change a day in this infinite mistake Even with how far we come the damage has been done Can we transcend our fates beyond self destructive traits? Or will we watch as this whole world burns to the ground? If my words could change a day in this infinite mistake Even with how far we come the damage has been done Will we transcend our fates beyond self destructive traits? The collapse is drawing nearer one day there has to be a resolution in negative space (repeat)
