True American Hate Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fear nothing, say nothing
Pledge allegiance to what's right
The future in question
Revolution overnight
For all the disservice
Into peril we fell
My instinct ticking like a time bomb
The human race implodes
[Pre-Chorus]
Some choose to celebrate
Some choose to hate
Some choose to live their life
Through someone else's pain
All those who follow
All those with faith
Show us your colors
American hate
[Chorus]
True American hate! (Hate)
True American hate! (Hate)
True American hate! (Hate)
[Verse 2]
Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what's right
Fall to resurgence
Intuition overnight
The final plot in question
Evil mind overturned
So many flags of hate
So many nations scorned
[Pre-Chorus]
Some choose to celebrate
Some choose to hate
Some choose to live their life
Through someone else's pain
All those who follow
All those with faith
Show us your colors
American hate
[Chorus]
True American hate! (Hate)
True American hate! (Hate)
True American hate! (Hate)
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Stand tall and be proud
Is there an end in sight?
Ever since conception
Always fighting for your life
Underneath the surface
There toils your hell
I'm ticking like a time bomb
Watch the world explode
[Pre-Chorus]
Some choose to celebrate
Some choose to hate
Some choose to live their life
Through someone else's pain
All those who follow
All those with faith
Show us your colors
American hate!
[Chorus]
True American hate! (Hate)
True American hate! (Hate)
True American (Hate)
True American (Hate)
True American hate! (Hate)
True American hate! (Hate)

Cold Embrace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was a sign on an ancient veil
A dream that never really was
She only ever seemed to hope for a world
So surreal to the touch
She doesn't want to wake, she only wants to sleep
Afraid of what they seek and where she's been
When she awakes, she bends to her knees to pray
Praying for the secret to be safe, yeah
[Bridge]
Come take my hand
Follow the path to infinity
Come take my hand
Trapped in the dark for eternity
Come take my hand
[Verse 2]
After all when the kingdom falls
Her walls are shattered from within
She tries to flee but she's trapped in this curse
Waiting for the cycle to begin
She doesn't want to wake from her eternal sleep
Afraid of what they know and where she is
She doesn't follow faith, she's stuck in her belief
Sorrow is the color of her dream, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Long ago, when she first opened her eyes
There's no tomorrow
The sun will never shine, no
The sun will never shine, yeah
[Chorus]
The sun will never shine on you
Daylight blinds your way
The sun will never shine through you
Now accept this cold embrace
[Bridge]
Come take my hand
Follow the path to infinity
Come take my hand
See everything that you want to see
Come take my hand
Find everything that you sought to seek
Come take my hand
Trading your life for immortality
Come take my hand
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Long ago, when she first opened her eyes
There's no tomorrow
The sun will never shine, no
The sun will never shine, yeah
[Chorus]
The sun will never shine on you
Daylight blinds your way
There sun will never, ever shine on you
No, the sun will never shine
Man Kills Mankind Lyrics
3 ContributorsMan Kills Mankind LyricsLong before the curtain call
The dregs they had been cast
Many screams and twisted dreams
Flames lead to the throne
Winds of change
Keeps you searching for the truth
Sea of rage
Slowly drowned in wasted youth
Some people live to lie
Some people don't
Some people turn their cheek
While others hate
Don't ask why
The broken world spins too slow
Bitterness tastes sweet
Many paths, invoking wrath
The wolves have stole the crown
Winds of change
Keeps you searching for the truth
Sea of rage
Slowly drowned in wasted youth
Man kills mankind
Feeding the greed of the overfed swine
Man kills mankind
Again and again you choke on the vine
Man kills mankind
Feeding the greed of the overfed swine
Man kills mankind
Again and again you choke on the vine
Overfed swine you keep choking and choking
Some people live to lie
Some people don't
Some people are born to die
Some people won't
Some people are well-to-do
Some people ain't
Some people turn their cheek
While others hate
Don't ask why
Man kills mankind
Feeding the greed of the overfed swine
Man kills mankind
Again and again you choke on the vine
Man kills mankind
Feeding the greed of the overfed swine
Man kills mankind
Again and again you choke on the vine
Man kills mankind
Man kills mankind
Man kills mankind
Man kills mankind
Again and again you choke on the vine
Overfed swine, you keep choking and choking
Last Stand for Independence Lyrics
4 ContributorsLast Stand for Independence LyricsLast chance for independence
Call to arms to take a stand
Fully armed, our forces strong
Against the enemy, we dance
Life lost for liberty
Blood shed to protect our homes
Stand tall, divided we fall
The conflict takes its deadly toll
You struggle to breathe
Don't ever let go
The less we conceive
The stronger we grow
Fight on for independence
Charge through demolished lands
Ears ring to the hum of bullets
A tune of tragedy of man
Never surrender
Blood stains upon thy soul
Burning flags and body bags
The price of liberty for all
The last thing you'll see
Is the last thing you'll know
The less we conceive
The stronger we grow
Stronger we grow
Facing our death, struggle to breathe
Choking on fear
"In God we trust", oppression for years
Blood, sweat and tears
Will we ever know the stillness of the storm
Can we readjust our failures into trust
Last chance for independence
The final call to make a stand
Hold fast, united strong
Against the enemy at hand
Never surrender
Blood strains upon thy soul
Burning flags and body bags
The price of liberty for all
You struggle to breathe
Don't ever let go
The less we conceive
The stronger we grow
Stronger we grow
Facing our death, struggle to breathe
Choking on fear
"In God we trust", oppression for years
Blood, sweat and tears
Powerslave Lyrics
5 ContributorsPowerslave LyricsInto the abyss I'll fall, the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night, watching me go
Green is the cat's eye that glows in this Temple
Enter the risen Osiris, risen again
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour
I'm a slave to the Power of Death
When I was living this lie, fear was my game
People would worship and fall, drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me
For he is a man and a God and He will die too
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid to waste
And in my last hour
I'm a slave to the Power of Death
Now I am cold, but a ghost lives in my veins
Silent the terror that reigned, marbled in stone
A shell of a Man-God preserved for a thousand ages
But open the gates of my Hell, I will strike from my grave
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour
I'm a slave to the Power of Death
