State of Oppression

•Verse 1
I'm waking up but I can't tell is it's just a dream.
They sought to control me, to silence me.
But these things wont just disappear.
•Pre-Chorus
This darkened sky is what we've made
for ourselves to believe in.
Our false sense of security is crumbling
under the weight of reality.
•Chorus
I will not submit to this state of oppression.
Their voice will not pass through me.
These may be the ways of sedition.
This is what they call the price of freedom.
This war is just a distraction.
They want you to fear what they have created.
Now is the time to build their empire.
This is what they call the price of freedom.
•Verse 2
It all sounded so good to me.
Ending a threat to democracy.
Though it didn't quite happen that way.
Now we're learning this all the hard way.

•Verse 1
Who's that hiding behind the mask. Casting long shadows in winters cold gaze. I've walked to far to turn back now. Show me your face
•Chorus
I see your eyes in the fire light. Gazing out beyond this place. Searching for the twilight of this disease, a cancer of the mind. Swallowing whole, this moment. Lost forever in time.
•Verse 2
Confliction of body and mind. Take two steps forward and I take one back. We'll meet six steps from center. We'll wake to find, we're face to face.

• Chorus
Break the chains free yourself, desperate times change your mind, I don't know about me, I'm looking for a new beginning with out you, reason now makes no sense, only you can see your enemy, looking out for you.
One more thing, look around, all the smiling faces stare you down, feeling trapped, feeling lost, whichever way you go is up to you, fade away find yourself, everything is not which once it seemed, take a breath sit back down, only you can see that part of me.
• Verse 1
She had this little smile, so innocent, it was all just a lie, made men cry. There's something you should know, even if you're feeling lucky don't take her home. She'll break your heart and that's just the start, everyone's had a go so don't fall for it.
• Chorus intro
So stand up and scream you fucking whore. So stand up and scream, you need it more.
• Verse 2
He said she said, what about what we said? Lemme just break this down. I'm crawling on the floor oh baby just one more. I can't back out like a tactical rout, I get back on my feet. So much for this time, I wont be pulled back in so fuck you.

• Intro
One more chance for victory is lost within the storm. I have no memory, where do we begin?
• Verse 1
No more light surrounds this place, I feel no fear. Ever so slowly my mind begins to clear.
• Chorus
No time for my awareness, hidden by the storm, I call out your name.
Though you don't hear my cries, drowned out by the wind, this was my final chance.
• Verse 2
Somethings are better left unsaid, the memories are fighting back again.
• Verse 3
Sometimes I feel alive, stripped free of all my doubts and I will pray the rain will cleanse the sun.

Song for the Dead

•Verse 1
Why am I here in this place, no one has the answers.
Even though I'm trapped down here, stranded in the cold.
•Chorus
One last call for victory, we all dance in harmony.
There are things you should have said, it's too late now, for the dead.
•Bridge
It's too late late now, it's too late now.
Far too long, for the dead.
•Verse 2
I seek the truth within the sand, there are no more answers.
I hold my life within my hands, stranded by society.
