44 Minutes Lyrics
[Intro]
"73-43 requesting assistance, we have 2-11 in progress at the Bank of America, we have shots fired"
"One or two officers need help, B of A"
"Suspects are leaving the bank, do not approach the bank"
"Shots are being fired from AK-47, there is an officer down"
"We are all pinned down by automatic gunfire"
[Verse 1]
It was a cool winter's morning
Somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM
The armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming
So instead, they went for the bank
The fateful duo that sat in the getaway car
Heavily sedated with thousands of rounds
Armor piercing, fully automatic weapons
The bowls of wrath poured out on the ground
[Chorus]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 Minutes of target practice
All Hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight
With a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
And brought down the beast
[Verse 2]
This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn't if it would happen, it was when
The city's people sabotaged themselves
Calling their firepower an unneeded expense
The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped
Standard police issue guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived and settled the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15
[Chorus]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 Minutes of target practice
All Hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight
With a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
And brought down the beast
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 Minutes of target practice
All Hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight
With a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
And brought down the beast
Bite the Hand Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They ball-gagged Lady Justice
And blindfolded her so she can't see
The erosion of the peoples' trust
Of what will come to be an FDIC Assisted Suicide
[Verse 2]
The depression of a depression
Worldwide suicide for the economy
Caused by the dialectic chaos when the
Mob on Wall Street took "We the people" for a ride
[Refrain]
When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
(Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds)
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
They took everything and anything
As long as it once belonged to me
The rats got all the money
The roaches licked the cupboards clean of TV dinners and beer
[Verse 4]
This never-ending nightmare
Of the dreams I'll never ever get to see
And just one silver bullet to your head
It will set me free from all the life I wasted trusting you
[Refrain]
When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
(Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds)
When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat
(Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds)
Just like the mad dog you bite the hand that feeds
[Instrumental Outro]
Bodies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This thing called "Life" goes by so quickly
One day you're here and then you're gone
This is the moment I've lived my whole life for
And I'll never give up; I've waited too long
[Pre-Chorus]
I've waited, waited too long
I've waited too long
[Chorus]
And all along the road
All the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends
Just not good friends of mine
[Verse 2]
I've been kicked out and said I quit
Then I said, "I've had enough" and "This is it"
All I wanted was just one more show for the road
Cause it was over last time before I could blink, ooh I could blink
[Pre-Chorus]
I've waited, waited too long
I've waited too long
[Chorus]
And all along the road
All the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends
Just not good friends of mine
[Post-Chorus]
Their bodies left behind
[Instrumental Outro]
Endgame Lyrics
[Intro]
"Attention! Attention!
All citizens are ordered to report to their district detention centers!
Do not return to your homes, do not contact anyone!
Do not use any cellular or GPS devices!
Surrender all weapons at once!
Attention! This way to the camps!"
[Verse 1]
I woke up in a black FEMA box
Darkness was all around me (In my coffin)
My dreams are all nightmares anymore
And this is what I dream every night
[Verse 2]
The Leader of the New World Order
The President of the United States
Has declared anyone now residing inside the US of A
Without the RFID chip, you're just an illegal alien
An enemy combatant of America
Welcome to the New World Order
[Chorus]
This is the end of the road
This is the end of the line
This is the end of your life
This is the
[Verse 3]
A society in a society, inside the fence life as you know it stops
They got their rules of conduct and we got ours
Be quick or be dead, you crumble up and die
The clock is ticking so slowly
And so much can happen in an hour
[Chorus]
This is the end of the road
This is the end of the line
This is the end of your life
This is the endgame
[Verse 4]
I learned my lessons the hard way, every scar I earned
I had to bleed, inside the day yard
A system of controlled movement like a giant ant farm
Any time is long time
Now you're not in charge of your time anymore
[Chorus]
This is the end of the road
This is the end of the line
This is the end of your life
This is the end
[Verse 5]
The Ex-President signed
A secret bill that can land a legal US Citizen in jail
And the patriot act stripped away our constitutional rights
They say a Concentration camp just popped up, yeah, right!
[Verse 6]
Refuse the chip? Ha! Get persecute and beat
By the tyranny of Mind control for the mark of the beast
All rights removed, you're punished, captured, and enslaved
Believe me when I say, "This is the endgame"
Head Crusher Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's time to take your last walk in this world
Before your journey begins underground
Not before we torment you from your cell
Straight to hell with a short detour in-between
Begging for mercy all alone
Unable to handle the pressure
Before his mortification
Now let the torture begin!
[Chorus]
Death by the head crusher
Head crusher!
Death by the head crusher!
[Verse 2]
The horrific torture device
For those who fail interrogation
The most painful technique ever known
People thirst for the worst
The skulls disintegration
Beaten, broken, in bloody rags
Adding insult to injury, he recants
But it's much too late
Now let the torture begin!
[Chorus]
Death by the head crusher
Head crusher!
Death by the head crusher!
[Bridge]
On your knees, prisoner, take your position
Place your chin forward into the restraint
Your head slowly caves in from the compression
You fade in a blackout from the infernal pain
Ahhh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Twisting, turning the giant screw
Your teeth are breaking loose
Crushed and splintering into your mouth
Winding down, cutting through
Like broken glass being chewed
The fragmented skull and shattering bones
There's nothing you can do!
[Instrumental Outro]
How the Story Ends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches
But rest assured they're out there and they're coming
If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry
Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm
[Chorus]
Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends
[Verse 2]
Above the ring of clashing steel
They raise flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannonballs
They bang the drums of death
Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see
[Chorus]
Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends
Poison the well and scorch the earth
Everything's slashed and burnt
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends
Poison the well and scorch the earth
Everything's slashed and burnt
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends
[Instrumental Outro]
