Trade Your Children

Take the moral high ground, receive their lashes and remember. A human is a human, programmed to follow the order of it's environment and pick a side. Murderers and thieves using you like rats in a labour cage, farmed to defend, and enrich the...
Monarchies and oligarchies,
Preying on our sweat and tears,
Rewarding us with debt and fear,
They, trade your children!
Condemned for falling out of line, whether your life has been supported or left to waste. Paranoia can be pretty sleazy, when struggling to make ends meat. They pit us against ourselves, hide from the truth, and tell us not to dream. Just remember, it's the...
Plutocracies and monopolies,
Preying on our sweat and tears,
Rewarding us with debt and fear,
They, trade your children!
Patriarchies and hierarchies,
Preying on our sweat and tears,
Rewarding us with debt and fear,
They, trade your children!

A Call To Minds
01:35
|
|||
|
You rationalize using old theories as an argument. Being challenged shouldn't cause so much resentment.
Mistakes brought by traditions seem so redundant. This debate brings anger which useless and unimportant.
No reason to think ahead when we have faith. This is a call to minds. Let's step ahead of unreasonable antiquity, keeping us frozen in time. Bring your mind up to date.
Pride aside there will be no one to judge you when you've died. You leave behind a mess your children will struggle to revive. Then again, there was nothing you could do. Denied, is the truth to be accepted or realized.
Bring your mind up to date.
A call to minds is what we'll make.

Maximum Insecurity
02:40
|
|||
|
It's becoming clear to me, that there is this notion that punishment, isolation and banishment, are here to keep us safe from ourselves.
None of us are born with a criminal gene loaded up,
A failed policy a chicken shit bill, keeping us locked up in maximum insecurity
Metaphysical laws drawn up by men devoid of the tools to understand that the problem stems from our lack of acceptance, contracting a social chasm.
None of us are born with the criminal gene loaded up,
A failed policy a chicken shit bill, keeping us locked up in maximum insecurity
Using law and order as your scapegoat to hide behind the hard truth, the only thing these fucking prisons walls will do, humiliate, segregate, slap a sloppy label on those suffering. Lock a man inside a cage, condemn judgement on a life that has not been lived by you.
Violence and repression, the weak man's solution to his confusions. Human nature can only collapse under the ego of this iron heel.

Inhibited Prophecy

I'm sorry my instincts are not yours, their mine. When I stand alone in thought, of one's own proper countenance. I see you’re true shade when conduct and misinformation becomes the allurement of your rueful weak trial of achievement. It’s not for your motivation. Take a good look at your life. Your teachings are all that they're ever known. They’re not pawns for your agenda. So please stop trying, to force it down, our throats. It’s not for your motivation.
A child is born without a choice to challenge. Forced to feed on thoughts of the old. Programmed with exhausted ethics. Repressing views of the modern thinkers.
Embracing the fundamentalist, and their wicked ideals. We’ll all obey the following, and give our hearts to god. Join the legion of heterogeneous persuasions, sprawling to conform in the whimsically land of father, son and the holy Spirit. Is that what you would like us all to do? Object to reason with the absolute point of view. It’s nice breath, our minds in a more secular in time. It’s just an ideal presence, not a global essence.

A New Frontier
04:08

Under the manipulation of our wealth, we've knowingly accepted greed. Every man for himself, the masses to be subjugated if they don't compete? Sounds like doctored democracy to me, it makes no sense that we've been paying with our...
Lives, our minds, our dignity, our sanity. Lives, our minds, our dignity, our sanity.
Everyone deep inside, require the same. Shelter, nourishment, education and a safe trip trough the future where we all ought to be free of black mailed accumulation. It's time to we stopped paying with our.
Lives, our minds, our dignity, our sanity, and our humanity.
Step through the fog, one by one. Press through these unknown paths and you will see that before we can save the world, we need to find ourselves, reconvene on the other side.
They raise their glasses and they say. Work for us. Fight for us. Now, die for us.
Our lives, our minds, our dignity, our sanity. Reinstate humanity, reveal our true morality and pave a road to a new frontier.

Intellectual Intercourse
02:07
|
|||
|
Barking narrow messages of moral superiority,
lying to themselves almost as much as us.
Disguised as benevolence, opulent aggrandizement,
Inclined to the ruling narrative, then you've already been bought.
Intellectual Intercourse, intellectual intercourse, intellectual intercourse, intellectual intercourse,
Acknowledge others problems. Be angry with racist, delirious, radical dreams.
A trumpeting siege on liberties, luring public opinions,
an art of rhetoric, evil deeds and make believe altruism.

Only after, only after the last tree has been cut down.
Only after, only after the last river has been poisoned.
Only after, only after the last fish has been caught.
Only then will you realize, that money cannot be eaten.
War and debt, freedoms greatest fear. So many wasted years. It's all the earth can hear. How we're segregated into separate nations, following manipulating proclamations. Forced to give away your hopes dreams, fall into complacency, union free, cost efficiency.
Truth can't be revealed until reality sets in and you pull back the veil to life's audacity. Accepting fault can only make you stronger.
Work everyday, your whole life, just to survive.
Forcing hand, dictating the person you should be.
False reality, crippling us with fatalistic absolutes.
Welcome to the confines of these...
Life hasn't evolved just to be controlled, coerced labour, higher inflation, lower wages, life's over and nothing changes. Head start up the ladder, they're kicking out rungs under them. And they shout that have earned theirs. Enjoy the dependency bestowed by the cockroaches of avarice manor.
Work everyday, your whole life, just to survive.
Forcing hand, dictating the person you should be.
False reality, crippling us with fatalistic absolutes.
Welcome to the confines of these...
Raise your fists in solidarity, divide our resources equally. Combine what we know, expel needless vanity for the sake of minority wealth. Our voice can be loud and pronounced, fuck the fences, the bondage, and the alienating class structures. Tonight lets sing and light fire to feudal pyres.

Bound To Influence
01:54

Screaming inside the world of greed and pride. Can't hide my eyes, or cover my ears. I don't want to believe that it's all pain and misery. But I have to remind myself there is no reality in this insanity. Centuries can't piece the shattered shards of manipulation
It’s a dependence on opinions that dims the brilliance of women and men. It's independent conflict to dominate the innovations of women and men.
It may seem impossible to notice. That we were exposed, corralled, guided and branded, a collection of possessions, wealth, and so called property. Something to call their own, Reinforcing ignorance shouldn't be our downfall.
It’s a dependence on opinions that dims the brilliance of women and men. It's independent conflict to dominate the innovations of women and men.
Watch me fade as I sell my soul to the puppet masters of the masses. I am not willing to kneel and kiss the asses of those profit hungry masses.

Confront Authority
03:28
|
|||
|
Watching every day in horror of what they’re doing to our world. Follow hegemony or false desired dog eat dog supposition. You're presented all the views you’ll ever need
Confront Authority, stand up to conformity and they'll become the minority.
Adherent to the big plan, allowing to be dumbed down. Or you can defy logic. Trust in god and country? Remove your hat and praise for a nation you nothing about.
Denying everything you thought you knew. Protesting all you believed to be true. Joining into a false elite virtue.
A young boy's pride is brought down to a pathetic level when he’s confused by lost integrity. Following indecent degradation of these lives through consumption and denials; At a loss for words when everyone supports the fatality for this fallacy.
Spoon feeding us anthropocentric views. Faith and resentment ensues. Fuck this system, it's time that we renewed. Obedience, betrayal, mental enslavement is brought to a screeching halt when you look beyond the facade of those twats, we've allowed to run our lives.
Confront Authority, stand up to conformity and we'll become the majority.
