Track Lyrics

Ignition Lyrics

[Refrain]

Raise the guns

At every self-made suspicion

Build the bombs

Corrupt policy's decision

[Verse 1]

That's the sound of integrity breaking its back

In a country founded as a thievery act

[Refrain]

Raise the guns

At every self-made suspicion

Build the bombs

Corrupt policy's decision

[Verse 2]

Times are dark with our children spoon-fed ignorance

Inheritance of an anxious trigger finger

[Refrain]

Raise the guns

At every self-made suspicion

Build the bombs

Corrupt policy's decision

[Pre-Chorus]

Our leaders preach if we disagree

We're the traitors of society

Homophobia, racism, sexism

Our systems breed supremacy

[Chorus]

Ignition

Inception

Burning is a fuse to destruction

Break the walls of ignorance

To disarm the world for its last chance

Ignition

Inception

Burning is a fuse to destruction

Break the walls of ignorance

To disarm the world for its last chance

[Verse 3]

Time again for a war

On an enemy that isn't real

Greedy, selfish warlords

Feed the agenda, death's the meal

[Solo: Heafy]

[Breakdown]

That's the sound

Impending fear crawling up your spine

In a country where nothing is truly made clear

[Refrain]

Raise the guns

At every self-made suspicion

Build the bombs

Corrupt policy's decision

[Pre-Chorus]

Our leaders preach if we disagree

We're the traitors of society

Homophobia, racism, sexism

Our systems breed supremacy

[Chorus]

Ignition

Inception

Burning is a fuse to destruction

Break the walls of ignorance

To disarm the world for its last chance

Unrepentant Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A poor man with four daughters

A wife and a son

Daughter commits adultery

Or so he was told

Bought a knife and machete

After Friday's prayers

Feared the young would follow old

Thought all must be killed

[Refrain]

For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters

For your honor

You will slaughter

It's you who should be slaughtered

[Pre-Chorus]

Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride

A shamed madman

[Chorus]

You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Life bleeds without a chance to weep

You take, you take their lives away

[Breakdown]

Yet a man unrepentant

Don't you realize

You murdered your own children

Call that honorable cause?

[Refrain]

For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters

For your honor

You will slaughter

It's you who should be slaughtered

[Pre-Chorus]

Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride

A shamed madman

[Chorus]

You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Life bleeds without a chance to weep

You take, you take their lives away

[Solo: Beaulieu]

[Refrain]

For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters

For your honor

You will slaughter

It's you who should be slaughtered

[Pre-Chorus]

Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride

A shamed madman

[Chorus]

You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Life bleeds without a chance to weep

You take, you take their lives away

Becoming the Dragon Lyrics

[Solo: Beaulieu]

[Verse 1]

Swimming the river ascending

Free of fear, filled with purpose

Nishikigoi fights through oceans of adversity

Against the current to obtain the highest goals

[Pre-Chorus]

Swim through oceans of suffering

(Swim through oceans)

[Chorus]

Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate

Become

Transform from koi into a beast

Dragon

[Verse 2]

A living symbol of courage

No wave will shatter these scales (Shatter these scales)

Dreams of three eagle claws and the paws of a tiger

Waterfall's up ahead, one thing left to do

[Pre-Chorus]

Swim through oceans of suffering

(Swim through oceans)

[Chorus]

Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate

Become

Transform from koi into a beast

Dragon

[Breakdown]

You'll never stop the becoming, yeah

This dragon will rise and be king

[Solo: Beaulieu]

[Verse 3]

All bear witness to a great form

Evolution is complete

A breath that turns into clouds producing rain or fire

Watch the world move according to each desire

[Pre-Chorus]

Swim through oceans of suffering

(Swim through oceans)

Swim through oceans of suffering

(Swim through oceans)

[Chorus]

Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate

Become

Transform from koi into a beast

Dragon

[Solo: Heafy / Gregoletto]

Tread the Floods Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stress breaking my back

Pulse is stuttering

Pressure, mental attack

My thoughts cluttering

[Pre-Chorus]

Beating this dead horse is exhausting

Heartbreaking to see, my hands shaking

I'm knee-deep in the dead, still wading

Still wading in this, this well called life

[Verse 2]

Nervousness halting all will

Forcing apathy

Anxiety, an aching chill

Hammering down me

[Pre-Chorus]

Beating this dead horse is exhausting

Heartbreaking to see, my hands shaking

I'm knee-deep in the dead, still wading

Still wading in this, this well called life

[Chorus]

Tread the floods so you can hope to seize

Your own reality

'Fore it escapes thee

Watch yourself drown in disarray

It's time to break away

Or we'll die today

Tread the floods so you can hope to seize

Your own reality

'Fore it escapes thee

Watch yourself drown in disarray

It's time to break away

Or we'll die today

[Solo: Beaulieu]

[Verse 3]

Stress breaking my back

Pulse is stuttering

Pressure, mental attack

My thoughts cluttering

[Verse 4]

Nervousness halting all will

Forcing apathy

Anxiety, an aching chill

Hammering down me

[Pre-Chorus]

Beating this dead horse is exhausting

Heartbreaking to see my hands shaking

I'm knee-deep in the dead, still wading

Still wading in this, this well called life

[Chorus]

Tread the floods so you can hope to seize

Your own reality

'Fore it escapes thee

Watch yourself drown in disarray

It's time to break away

Or we'll die today

Tread the floods so you can hope to seize

Your own reality

'Fore it escapes thee

Watch yourself drown in disarray

It's time to break away

Or we'll die today

Contempt Breeds Contamination Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mistaken identity

You really got this one wrong

Racially singled out

He must have a gun

[Pre-Chorus]

And yet you get off with no time

How can this be the answer?

No crime, yet they shot away

He now lies dead, the blood is on your hands

Hands which were supposed to protect

People like the man you blew away

This isn't justice, this is corruption

[Chorus]

The four protectors fired 41 shots

Hitting him 19 times

Searching the body, there were no weapons found

He lies with all who died in vain

[Verse 2]

Murder must still be a crime

When our inherent freedom

Is hatefully gunned down

By who we entrust

[Pre-Chorus]

And yet you get off with no time

How can this be the answer?

No crime, yet they shot away

He now lies dead, the blood is on your hands

Hands which were supposed to protect

People like the man you blew away

This isn't justice, this is corruption

[Chorus]

The four protectors fired 41 shots

Hitting him 19 times

Searching the body, there were no weapons found

He lies with all who died in vain

[Hook]

Contempt breeds contamination

[Solo: Heafy]

[Pre-Chorus]

How can this be the answer?

No crime, yet they shot away

He now lies dead, the blood is on your hands

Hands which were supposed to protect

People like the man you blew away

This isn't justice, this is corruption

[Chorus]

The four protectors fired 41 shots (41 shots)

Hitting him 19 times (19 times)

Searching the body, there were no weapons found

He lies with all who died in vain (Died in vain)

[Hook]

Contempt breeds contamination

[Solo: Beaulieu]

The Rising Lyrics

[Solo: Suecof]

[Verse 1]

And the earth begins to shake

A cacophony of roaring

Anxiety growing

Cheers to leaving this mortal life behind

Sweat begins its downpour

A riot we stand for

The blackout foreshadows the chaos

[Chorus]

So, raise your voices with me

And sing this song of unity

So, raise your hands up with me

And hold this moment eternally

[Solo: Suecof]

[Verse 2]

Like a rift opened in the sky (Sky, sky)

Through fire, pulses, and lightning

While thunderous sounds ring

Chanting hymns to leave life's troubles behind

This time shared together

Is just so much better

Than life could ever offer

[Chorus]

So, raise your voices with me

And sing this song of unity

So, raise your hands up with me

And hold this moment eternally

[Solo: Beaulieu]

[Chorus]

So, raise your voices with me (With me)

And sing this song of unity (Unity)

So, raise your hands up with me (With me)

And hold this moment eternally (Eternally)

So, raise your voices with me (With me)

And sing this song of unity (Unity)

So, raise your hands up with me (With me)

And hold this moment eternally (Eternally)

[Solo: Heafy]

[Chorus]

So, raise your voices with me (With me)

And sing this song of unity (Unity)

So, raise your hands up with me (With me)

And hold this moment eternally (Eternally)

[Outro]

Yeah
