Violence the language
Death the message
Blood the medium
Threats read like poetry
People make numbers
Books make good fires
Kicks making bruises
Color the skin of those who are not me
(Chorus)
Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
With violence
Violence the language
Screaming inside our heads
Drowning out
All forms of discourse
I see the enemy
Staring back at me
Violence
The first in command
(Chorus)
Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
With violence
(Solos)
(Chorus)
Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
It climbs again
With violence

Hear My Words
05:55

Burning all the drinks last night
Along with our fears
The only barrier, the divine task
That chains every man
Seed the ground, rise your flag
And wake up of your sleep
The taste of freedom toned down
The screams of revenge
Come hear my words
I don't know why we're calling ourselves enemies
For other men we built these walls
But they never came here
And don't know who we are
(Chorus)
Come hear my words
When I say this is not our fight
Unite howling like wolves
Not the dogs under command
Tonight come hear my words
One last time!
So take a step back
Our enemies are people like us
They bleed but also cry
Asking why our fates collide
In this ignorant exercise of hate
(Chorus)
(Bass & guitar solos)
(Chorus)

Life is On (One Flower)

(Intro: The Origin of Life)
(Part 1: Alone at the End of the World)
Lost in my own thoughts
And is not by choice
I don't know where
This might take me
I have cut myself
From society
I'm flirting with
Insanity
Humanity has lost
All it's ever had
And now I'm here
Alone and afraid
Am I to pay the cost?
Of growth without a choice
This barren wasteland
We once called our home
(Part 2: One Flower)
Thinking about all the
Things that were here
In the past
How did this flower get here?
While it thrives
I just slowly fade away
Still it doesn't seem to know
Why it grows...
(Part 3: Life spreads)
Green is all around
It's climbing up the trees
And swimming out
Of the seas
Beings live and die
They share the spirits
Of their lives and return here
To live again
(Chorus: Life is on this one flower)
Life is on
This one flower
And defies, denies
The death of all things
Life is on
You and me, but I can't feel it
Please tell me
Who killed the world?
(Part 4: Humanity emerges)
Soon their tribes were formed
And then their walls came up
They felt the need to grow
But still didn't know
Nature greets us
And we saw it's beauty
We wanted it to grow
Under our control
(Chorus)
(Bass Solo: Life is on)
(Guitar Solo 1: This one flower)
(Intro Reprise: Life wants to grow)
(Guitar solo 2: This desolate world)
(Chorus) x2
THE END
