Hatebreed

Your reign of terror is coming to an end And all your victims' pain will be avenged Taker of innocence, I want your demise Tear you apart for the unspeakable things you tried to hide I fucking hate you Every bone in my body will ache `Till I destroy everythin...

Do it Some scars are meant to be worn with pride. Everyday is knowledge to use in life. A lesson lived is a lesson learned. Setbacks used to propel me forward Misjudgment taken as force to do right, A better outlook a mindset of power. Each day resolve and ref...

This dream can't be, what it used to be, ever again [Verse 1] I don't want this dream or the grievance it brings Can't justify greed at the cost of equality Tangled in endless archaic chains of power, profit, gain What about the poor bearing poverty's ma...

Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold. Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself. [chorus] How can you face the world? When you can't face the mirror. How can you leave your past? With blood on your hands? Can you run away all your life? C...

How long have I given all I've got? Here I stand My days and nights now are solitude I struggle on I've paid my price All I had I gave So much still lingers inside my head I've lost it all No trace of tolerance I can find An empty heart I've paid m...

The question they keep asking me. How can one so young be so bitter and angry Well the answer is plain to see Just look around at this world that we're living in. It's die or let die Take or be taken from And there's nowhere to run Who do we look to What have...

You knew just where to touch Your words always cut So much darker than lust We both longed for trust So much more than just hate My hands there to suffocate So deep I penetrate When you're as damaged as me To punish yourself is to love When you're as...

Some of us have had that fateful day When harmony fades and life stands still Those who were willing to sacrifice Were blessed with the instinct to survive This is for those who've escaped the torment You know real courage You are as diehard as they come Th...

Won't own the consequence of your deception Or live within the confines of your blame I can't see the destruction of peace From the places I know are guarded by belief We may never undo what is ruinous But we will weather what storms may strike From this day o...

What make you think everything is this world that you have can be taken away? In a world this day, it's kill or be killed. I live each day like it might be my last. In this lifetime few things are worth fighting for. My Blood, Your Honor. Everyone has a destin...

Let's go Standing here again as the words Fail to hit the page Towering in silence straining thoughs To create There's no safe words There's no stasis There's no fixing the broken places I see just one more chance for redemption A selfless child's dream of as...

In this very moment, agony exists Unbeknownst to an unforgiving force. Some pray, some beg, without consolation. The pure lie beneath us while the scum walk the earth Why can't we heal them Why can't we see them Can we keep hoping, no one knows for sure Blamel...

Half dead, you trod through life So dependent, a shell of a man Pitiful, you let your vices tell your fate Follower of the blind, you have nothing. My empathy has turned to rage. My pity has turned to hatred. In selfishness you've sunken to the depths....

In a cold unforgiving world--alone with fear and weakness, oppressed and dying slowly--countless people have been betrayed by life. No one is exempt. No one is safe. So many lives will be taken. So many lives have been ruined. So many lives hang in the balance...

Deformed living hemorrhage knotted into flesh Betrayal lives within hosts Anchored in bones Surviving on secrets told All screams are but whispers In the realm of the barely living Unraveled, in the arms that carried If it's still worth loving it's sti...

How many ways to languish How many ways to fail How many ways to die too soon You can't choose one it chooses you Some of the choices, we make All along the way, can destroy us The bitter truth cuts both ways The stories written in our eyes I'd rather suffer...

Those wounds have been revealed Clawing through this wasteland No emotion lives, suffocate on hope Swallow your last rational thought It tastes of every heart you've devoured Your veins constrict, they are choking you Wrapped in vanity, you're dying. Unveiled...

[bonus track] Bound to violence Gagged by pain Drowned in self-regret This grief is the sentence you face Incomplete, you've lost your way Struggling with rationale In a world so cold and bleak How could this be a place for you? Bound to violence Gagged by...

I've got a bullet for the shame A toe tag for the spite A body bag for the envy A coffin for their guilt Headstones in their place A shovel tells the memories So take this message how you want Today it ends now I choose what you control 'Cause it's time, our...

No on can redeem themselves, no one can be saved. In a dying world filled with enslavement and endless apathy. A tortured past and not much future a tattered earth remains, destitute and alone in madness. Burial for the living. Our earth stripped of wealth. Bu...

They're so persuasive, with their fucking lies. Not an ounce of respect. They'll do anything to sell deception. [chorus] Burn the lies. Their words of ignorance. Shove them back. Back down their throats. All that I have for you is hate. They will quickly aband...

The time has come to deny your ways. To rid ourselves of the parasites. Shedding dead weight, reclaiming what's ours. Taking each moment with force again. No crosses to bear, no time to be wasted. A fearless approach to oppression. A constant attack to never r...

Thrown into this living hell. I was thrown into this living hell. I am the hatred taken from another's life. Born unwanted, extracted of all that is humane. No one can relate to my abandonment. I walk this earth alone in search of salvation. Forever, Forever....

Poison fills your lungs Saying your name is free I only die to late Crawling all over your lifeless body Miles away Dishonor awaits us all You are gone forever Overcome by the perils of existence How can I forgive you? If I never knew your pain And...

Give me something real Give me back those years Give me peace of mind Give me something more Strength, to deny you Trust, in my instincts Breathe, when I'm drowning Life, when I'm lying dead Hearts, mend with pieces Dreams have been shattered Love crucified, f...

I've grown colder Than any other stone turned Than any road crossed On my way I've grown colder Than earth under foot Than wind at my back Now scabbed & cracked I've grown colder Just like your father And his father before Through the endless storm I've gr...

Trapped within your own apathy Spiraling into a cycle of loss Beaten mind with a bruised reflection It's addiction to failure of substances That ties you to your selfish punishment In you eyes it's cursed No fix, no cure, tortured with imperfection Your hatred...

A new life begins Destroy everything Obliterate what makes us weak Destroy everything Decimate what threatens me Cleanse this world with flame End this, cleanse this Rebuild and start again Obliterate what makes us weak End this and embrace the destruction A...

When the end of sanity comes to you What will the silence say Will you express any remorse or throw decency away Clear conscience is forfeit when a heart's plays false by praise Harmony ends swiftly, withers, dies and dissipates Always unwilling to give,...

It's a wish for reprisal The vengeance the divine has chosen In the reflection of this anger In this embodiment of all that is despised They'll claim it's justified They'll say it's divine judgment With prayers and wishes to be granted With destruction and mur...

Your doom awaits you!! Selfish ones who think this world revolves for them Around their games and illusions. They give nothing but their hands are always out to take. I wish you misery now, desolation. Cast down, defeated, never to rise. Cast down, defeated, n...

Every seconds breath life into a reason for dying. Our ignorance will only stunt our final will to live. Bound and Gagged. I feel forced back in a losing race. I've been stepped on and passed by but I have enough hope to keep fighting. All of my pain. Driven b...

You came to me with salvation, saying I must repent. You offer up your redemption, a guarantee for a better life in your safe world. Your illusions are comfort for your conscience. My sacrifices will be made in honor of what is truly sacred. How can you save m...

Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy I know I'm my best friend No one cares, but I'm so much stronger I'll fight until the end To escape from the true false world Undamaged destiny Can't get caught in the endless circle Ring of stupidity Out for my ow...

Hard rain pours down on the concrete Seeps in deep below Cold screams of the city are Heard through the walls of every home Most seek for a deeper meaning Beyond their daily woes Most see nothing more than black clouds It's all that they know We become Our s...

You fucking bleed now Underneath the veil was a killing power Only a cursed love could retain I lent it a vision and a voice And pleaded in the greatest moment of need Carved into time every reflection dies This will be the bleeding of your life...

Facing what consumes you is the only way to be free. Released from those poisonous fears. Resurrected once and for all. You want me to hold my tongue Then why the fuck am I here? You want me to bottle my rage Cause you never had the heart to say what I say. My...

I won't celebrate your genocide And I won't consume your lies And you cannot deny how your selfish ways Kill and ruin innocent lives People have been exploited People have been killed Humanity has been raped And still I see no cure I won't consume you...

Destruction - in its purest form No limit to the vicious damage done Corruption - injustice with no remorse Heinous disregard, our future's uncertain But as life comes from the earth It must return to the ash Cleanse ourselves of those vile traits And crawl b...

Here I am Exposed in my brokenness Here I am Screaming these words It's all I ever known of serenity Here I am Telling my pain, bearing my soul to the world Here I am Venting on this page, flawed and insecure no more Here I am coming clean with myself, knowing...

This goes on... Before me lies a wounded soul A spirit at the end of a lonely road Such a cruel fate looms yet he has no fear As the sands of existence fall like tears All joy had perished All contempt was mine Once I held the hands Hands of a dying...

I won't be chained to the earth I feel cheated, so I cheat myself I feel defeated, so I defeat myself Drown my sorrows again and again Push away and deny this misery These feelings and instincts remain I'm struggling to pull myself from my grave. Let me be th...

From nothing we have risen and from nothing we still rise Take your life back Fight, fight Will you fight to take your life back? Ask yourself what's truly yours in life Are you in control or someone's slave? All that you cherish, all that you love In the bl...

Sometimes standing for what you believe Means standing alone Sometimes standing for what you believe Means standing alone When the limelight grows dim And our heroes fade away Some men still fight silent battles until their final days Some will be forg...

Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes I've got to take my life back One chance to make it right...

I'll take your dream I'll take your dream I'll take your dream and crush it Does the truth ever rain From the manic clouded mind High on their thrones Incapable, unkind Ignoring the hourglass Fearful of life When does nothing stand in the way Of their demise...

When the conflict never ceases And the enemies are immortal Only their names and faces change So a stance must always be held Claw at my pride you facade tears away Another day dies, I'm looking, I'm tasting Attempt to break my stride, fall deeper, tread fast...

Born to bleed Fighting to succeed Built to endure What this world throws at me (x4) Let me tell you of a force Crashing through my veins again like a page torn from a chapter Of a book of better days in the moments that we seize together Some will never know...

Leave no eye open To weep for the fallen A strange stillness Has started to sink in Inside the wall is scum and trash Blind from birth, only see what they lack Outside these walls, filth and shame Standing on unmarked asylum graves Something in the w...

You've made excuses for the fucked up things You've done but everyone's heard them before Your lying and stealing to feed your addictions Won't be tolerated anymore I tried to help you but you spit in my face So now you're on your own I see your life sl...

All the prayers in the world can't bring you back. It's your last breath, this is our last breath. Taken from this earth without warning. Victim of the ultimate injustice. Nothing will ever make sense of this. Nothing could have prepared me. All that is left a...

Lay it all to waste! Yeah! What they think is not always your business What they say is not of your concern But if you want to let it in At least let it fuel your desire to win Not every claim that they level against you Should stoke the flame of all...

Let's go! Live for this, Live, Live Live for this Live for this, Live, Live If you don't live for something, You'll die for nothing. Through the best and the worst The struggle and sacrifice. For the true who've remained and the new blood. Motivation, undying...

Once I set a shotgun to my head they said I wasn't worth the bullets Now the world is my trigger and I'm here to fucking pull it [x2] Still here (still here!) I can't hesitate Eyes wide open pupils dilate Still here (right here!) set to detonate I see t...

I was so blind. I couldn't see the truth. I was unable to see how my life was being used. To be something so miniscule. Everything i thought was so definite, I thought was so real was thrown away and will be remembered among unpaling hatred. [chorus] Consider...

I see our world as out of focus Lost and dying as we witness virtue Thrown aside Now degenerates and leeches thrive While the working manes condemned And the junkie, risen up onto a throne of lies A wretched pedestal But only fools will watch in...

Living as we rot, Showered with shadows of dreams devoured. Our souls descend into endless seas of sin. There's no turning back. No repenting, no remorse. Hate stricken creation. I realize in this world. [chorus x2] There is not one truth cast into stone. Only...

What becomes as red sight sees life Lies and the mouths that birth them, sworn to abide Cutting the lifeless pieces, rotted by time Strangled by shadows in the coldest light Nothing you say scares me anymore Nothing,scars me Nothing fucking scars me Remindi...

Drifting by the heavens unscarred. Yet unhealed before a bleeding cross. Thrown into the ash. Crumbling. [chorus] I've been crossed. Like the lies on a clocks face. I've been fed lies I can't comprehend. I've become but a mere seed again. And I'll prophesize t...

Bastard cries, feed the fire. The burning desire to rob human life. In this world full of fear of the unknown. Twisting the perception of the weak. Lying to progress. Only achieving greed. Seated behind the sun. Myths bleed into one. Searching for a saviour to...

I hope I'm alive. To witness your demise. Make you feel my sorrow. Encompass all my pain. That I've felt for years. Dreading each dying day. Hanging by a thread. On the edge of my sanity. When I wake up the real nightmare begins. Will I make through my time...

Another memory and I'm asking myself How can I let the past be the past. Once and for all take a hold of the future And not let it control what I aspire to have. I see where my decisions have brought me What's done is done and it's time to start again Can't le...

I can't seem to fathom how we live in this world of pain, under the knife see our bodies grow frail, ravaged by disease my heart grows weak, and there's nothing to cure the pain or to heal my scars now. I won't live my life under the knife. If my fate's been c...

When it all ended There was no where to turn I hid inside myself hoping someone would find me That day never came As the years passed the pain lessened I thought your voice would silence forever I was wrong This time there's no turning back Emerge from a door...
