Track Lyrics
Dystopia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"What you don’t know," the legend goes, "can't hurt you"
If you only want to live and die in fear
They tell us to believe just half of what we see
And absolutely nothing that we hear
Resist the twisted truth no matter what the cost
Supplant the rights with wrongs inside our heads
Outlawing all the questions to the answers
That no one likes when someone ends up dead
[Chorus]
Dystopia
Dystopia
Dystopia
Dystopia
[Verse 2]
"What you don’t know," the legend goes, "can't hurt you"
If you only want to live and die in a cage
There's panic and there's chaos rampant in the streets
Where useless thoughts of peace are met with rage
Demoralized and overmastered people think
The quickest way to end a war is lose
Dictatorship ends starting with tyrannicide
You must destroy the cancer at its root
[Chorus]
Dystopia
Dystopia
Dystopia
Dystopia

Post American World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We see each other through different eyes
Segregating ourselves by class and size
It's me against you in everything that they do
This planet's become one big spinning disaster
[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't like where we're going
Then you won't like what's coming next
[Chorus]
What will we look like?
In a post American world
Why cower to all those
Who oppose the American world?‌
[Verse 2]
When you walk away from that which makes you strong
You only fool yourself, you only weaken your cause
There's creeping hate if you resist the false narrative
Crushing all the dissenters who still think for themselves
[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't like where we're going
Then you won't like what's coming next‌
[Chorus]
What will we look like?
In a post American world
Why cower to all those
Who oppose the American world?
[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't like where we're going
Then you won't like what's coming next, no, no!
[Chorus]
What will we look like?
In a post American world
Why cower to all those
Who oppose the American world?
Lying in State Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What we are witnessing is the decline of western civilization
Crushing our potential and piling it on, how will history portray us?
Attack the family, attack their faith and dreams
Attack the body and the head will fall
[Chorus]
A lasting legacy or ruin brought in haste?
The enemy of truth is lying there in state
[Verse 2]
Another day, another manufactured crisis keeping the people distracted
There's no one playing by the rules anymore, how will history portray us?
A broken backbone with nothing left to lose?
That hate the sight of all the ones that do?
[Chorus]
A lasting legacy or ruin brought in haste?
The enemy of truth is lying there in state
[Verse 3]
A shiny new agenda, birthed from a depraved mind
Of failing us on purpose, to culturally sanitize
Its opiates for the masses under cloak as hope and change
The "new normal" or just more of the same?
[Verse 4]
The perfect plan must have an alibi
And the perfect pawn to spew the party line
Of the perfect falsehood spoke a thousand times
The perfect words cover the greatest crime
[Outro]
Hell is turning itself inside out
To lead its path up to meet us
And we deliberately take
A step, one foot closer to the grave
To the grave
The Emperor Lyrics
[Intro]
Come here, closer
[Verse 1]
Who do you
Who do you think you are?
Some kind of super star?
We'll see
Where do you?
Where do you think you are?
That shit won't get you far
With me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're just so dashing
You marvel at the sound
Of your own voice, as you crash into the ground
[Chorus]
You look so perfect, but everybody knows
They're petrified to say the emperor has no clothes
So bloody perfect, but everybody knows
They're just so petrified that the emperor has no clothes
[Post-Chorus]
Just so you know
That's how it goes
[Verse 2]
You're bad
You're bad for my health
Because you make me sick
You prick
Don't you know?
Don't you know who I am?
You know I'd like your face
To kick
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If your lips are moving I know you must be lying
You even suck the life out of dying
[Chorus]
You look so perfect, but everybody knows
They're petrified to say the emperor has no clothes
So bloody perfect, but everybody knows
They're just so petrified that the emperor has no clothes
[Bridge]
The house of cards are falling
Luck is running thin
Father forgive him, being a punk is not a sin
[Chorus]
You look so perfect, but everybody knows
They're petrified to say the emperor has no clothes
So bloody perfect, but everybody knows
They're just so petrified that the emperor has no clothes
[Outro]
You look so perfect, perfect
The emperor has no clothes
So bloody perfect, perfect
The emperor has no clothes
You look so perfect, perfect
The emperor has no clothes
So bloody perfect, perfect
And everybody knows
Except you
