Struck a Nerve Lyrics
4 ContributorsStruck a Nerve LyricsGive me power to end all of the strife
Courage to kill the pro-life
I don't want to see
You can't change me
You tell me not to bow
Just follow for now
You're oh so holier than thou
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more
Things change
The more
They stay the same
Give me patience to deal with all the strain
Balance to take the fuckin' pain
I don't want to fake
And I won't break
We're too happy to be
In our apathy
We smile single-file to the line
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more
Things change
The more
They stay the same
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
We gotta wake up
You don't know you're right
Your right from wrong
We gotta wake up
Down to None Lyrics
5 ContributorsDown to None LyricsChorus:
Bow down to no one
Bow down to none
Straight down
Been going
Been sleepwalkin'
In a violent haze
This world
In ruin
The chain shackles
Like a foul disease
Chorus
This rage
This struggle
It is a feeling
That's devouring
Can't break
Can't fuckin' give in
The pain will lead us
Through the blistering
Cold
Chorus
The Frontlines Lyrics
3 ContributorsThe Frontlines LyricsAnd I watched through bitter eyes
As the blood filled in the cracks, black
A burning effigy
Told me I should kneel 'cause
I'm worshipping
With terror, a disease
Bum the sacred oil
They told us there'd never come a day
They told us that we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
I am the power siege
And the rush you will feel, thrill
Exploding out of me
Through clenched teeth I will scream out
We're suffering
With malice you deceive
Puke sold as salvation
They told us there'd never come a day
They told us that we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
And I watched it slip away
And you watched it slip away
And we watched it slip away
'Cause no one took a stand
Spine Lyrics
2 ContributorsSpine LyricsBitterness infested, justice is molested
Govern my contested ways
As a child arrested, as a man detested
Happiness inside my pain
You hate my life
Because you see my strife
Could never understand or try
It makes me mad
Because it makes me sad
But I don't care why
You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity
I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so
Life filled with deception, unwanted inception
Want redemption for it all
All my life frustrated, pushed, alienated
Wait for me to take a fall
My faith has waned
Because I feel the strain
In my eyes it's all gone wrong
We'll rise above
From this lack of love
It won't be long now
You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity
I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so
I'm not the only one
Can't be the only one
No
Bay of Pigs Lyrics
3 ContributorsBay of Pigs LyricsI gotta rise, I'm sick of your lies
And I won't be your scapegoat now
Ain't gonna bend and won't 'til the end
Understand on my word I vow
A pig, a pig, that's all you'll ever be
Refuse to cower to the swine
I'm sick of it, at the end of my wits
'Cause next time that you fuck with mine
I'm gonna snap like I never have before
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations
I got a friend might not walk again
And your laws never helped at all
Go fuck your clause, your probable cause
Power trippin' above us all
Afraid, afraid and so you better be
'Cause when I call, you're not around
Serve and protect and give some respect
Next time that you shake me down
I'm gonna snap like I never have before
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations
Your lies despised
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations
Violate Lyrics
2 ContributorsViolate LyricsI want you to know this
I want you to know just what I feel
You told me through sacred lies
I told you once with bloodshot eyes
You told me don't ask
Just stay away from me
You told me it'd be alright
I told you once, then told you twice
You can't face
Can't you face me
I won't pray for you
I can't pray for you
Because you took it away
Because you took it from me
Thought I could never ever fuckin' find another
Get a muthafuckin' chance again
Because the power is the rage that can devour
Gotta make that fear descend
Without it, you ain't shit
And you ain't shit to me
Berating, a scathing
Grave indignity
I see the look inside your eyes
It makes me sick
Defiling innocence
Is how you get your kicks
You violate, and then you think yourself a man
You violate, and then you call yourself a man
Don't come my way
Don't care what you say
Pray you fuckin' die
Before you feel my ...
Rage...
The Possibility of Life’s Destruction Lyrics
5 ContributorsThe Possibility of Life’s Destruction LyricsCan you hear the sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of Hell?
The possibility of Life's destruction
Can you hear the cries of pain, the mournful sound?
The possibility of life's destruction
Can you hear the sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of Hell?
The possibility of Life's destruction
Can you hear the cries of pain, the mournful sound?
The possibility of life's destruction
My Misery Lyrics
4 ContributorsMy Misery (Demon Knight) LyricsYou said when that day came
Screams was all I'd hear
You said when that day would come
I'll know the sound of fear
And now you ask forgiveness
You ask for my respect
You beat upon me 'til I broke
Stripping, taking everything from me
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
Remember, forever, my misery
I was born to reign
Messiah of pain
Silencing the lies
Time for me to rise
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
Remember, forever, my misery
Colors Lyrics
3 ContributorsColors LyricsI am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking
King of my jungle just a gangster stalking
Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose
Red or Blue, Cuz or Blood, it just don't matter
Sucker die for your life when my shotgun scatters
We gangs of C.A. will never die - just multiply colors
You don't know me, fool
You disown me, pfs
I don't need your assistance, social persistence
Any problem I got I just put my fist in
My life is violent but violence is life
Peace is a dream, reality is a knife
My colors, my honour, my colors, my all
With my colors upon me one soldier stand tall
Tell me what have you left me, what have I got
Last night in cold blood my boy Eddie got shot
My homeboy got jacked
My momma's on crack
My sister can't work cause her arms show tracks
Violent insanity live in profanity
Then some punk claimin' they understandin' me
Give me a break, what world do you live in
Death is my sect, guess my religion
My pants are saggin' fucked up hair
Busters stare but I don't care
My game ain't knowledge my game's fear
I've no remorse so muthafucka beware
But my true mission is just revenge
You ain't in my sect, you ain't my friend
Wear the wrong color your life could end
Homicides my favorite binge colors
So I'll just walk like a giant, police defiant
You'll say to stop but I'll say that I can't
My gangs my family its all that I have
I'm a star, on the wall is my autograph
You don't like it, so you know where you can go
Cause the streets are my stage and terror's my show
Psycho-analyse try, diagnose me why
It wasn't your brother that brutally died
But it was mine, so let me define
My territory don't cross the line
Don't try to act crazy
Cause that shit won't faze me
If you ran like a punk
It wouldn't amaze me
Cause my colors' death
Though we all want peace
But our war won't end
Till all wars cease
