Not all things fade with time
When there's nothing left to lose
The many will become the few
The vultures see us sleeping
and they think that we are dead
Never let your guard down
Never turn your back
This world is in your control
It's your job to maintain
We have everything to lose
They've everything to gain
Not all things fade with time
Through our actions we will live forever
This extends beyond the grave
and magnifies the choices that we've made
to make a better place; that's why we're here

Whatever it is you truly value in life it is essential you stick with it and never give up on it. We all have a lot more control over our own circumstances then we tend to admit. We fear these opportunities because they make us that much more cognizant of our own accountability for our choices.




Tyranny

Now that we've had our shackles broken
we will stand with eyes wide open
turn our backs on the paths we once tread
we're not afraid to die
but of the pyramid eye
'cause everything we've been told is a lie
we've been sold nothing but lies
we'll knock the crowns to the ground
we'll topple every monument
removing all the blindfolds
we're balancing the scales
I'm done being used
done wasting my life
just to pay the rent
we have so much more to live for
than everything we were sold
in order to obtain something must be lost
step back and see what matters most

Our whole lives we spend treading on one another in search of the almighty dollar and in fear of intangible dangers. We need to work together to uncover the truth about everything and to make things better for all of us and not us as individuals.




Smoke and Poke

I hate to see the error of your ways
is setting you off course
with every passing day
you destroy most everything
that makes you who you are
a square peg in a round hole
and after you has come so far
But now you've given in and
your words mean nothing
let's forget, everything we ever said
breath it deep neglecting every commitment
Breath in deep so that we can just forget all the words you said and never really meant
I hate to see the errors you have made
and how they've hollowed out
the words that you've said
I hate to see the errors you've made
and I hate to hear your hollow words

It's painful to see so many who have turned their backs on promises they once made suffering the dire consequences of their choices. People make mistakes and rather than work on correcting them they rationalize it as being alright and allow themselves to further slip into despair.




Harvest Season

we must learn to contain this fear within our hearts, this fear of change.
As we go we will see
all the freedom this new day brings
We'll rise as one and wield this hammer for those who toil. As this culture ages, it falls to disrepair and decay. We were meant to labor for ourselves
We'll shed our blood but never theirs.
With this sickle of justice we will strive for
progress. conflict will come and we'll shed our blood but never theirs.

We live in utter terror of realizing just who we are and what we are capable of. We are fed this idea of a class system in which a person's worth is defined by their wealth and not by their character. We are also brainwashed to believe that violence can solve our disagreements with one another. Both of these assumptions are false, we are all human and are all equal at our core. We have no enemies, only those who have yet to understand us and we them.





Musketeers

we all come from different places
and we all have different ideas
but we all see the same things
though we don't have the same beliefs
we're singing together all for one
and one for all
we all long to make this life this much better
when will we stop fighting one another?
all for all

We live in a culture where the individual is celebrated beyond measure. While being your own person and making your own decisions is invaluable in life it is important to realize you are a very tiny part of things much bigger than yourself. Too often people get caught up in argument so much that they lose sight of common goals of the collective be it a group of friends, a scene, a nation, or even an entire planet.





Content

I've heard it said that we've left the dark age
but all I see are heads buried in the sand
we've seen the traps that have been set for us
but we still let our greed take over
remove the sand from your eye,
wake up to life
forget the past that you have left behind
step back to take a breath and realize
to have true friends by your side
is something money cannot buy
we're not content with being bought
we're not content with being sold
We're fighting back and breaking the mold

Modern innovation and technology has distracted all of us from the lack of freedom that exists all around us. We sit idly by with joy as we allow commodities to be shoved down our throats. Who you are as a person is not how much money you have or the things you own.




Avarice

I see a darkness in us all
that grows and grows
taught to give nothing back only to consume
but filling your belly just leaves you empty
I see it in the storefronts and
the glitter in your eyes
the fuel that feeds master's
hold won't improve your life
I'll never sell out my own kind
my mind's made up
I live my life above the dollar sign
together our lives will form a chain
that can't be broken with bullets or a blade

It seems that most anyone these days is willing to completely disregard any of their values at a certain dollar amount. So many adhere to the idea that they must use others as rungs in a ladder to get where they want to be when all of those people they stepped on could form a collective with them capable of things far greater than they would ever achieve on their own.





Now Until Forever

I see it in your eyes
you don't want to see this die
and I'm just like you
with the same attitude
and you're just like me
longing to be free
we're in this together now until forever
If you made this promise
stand here beside me
let your choice be known
for the world to see
we're in this together, now until forever

Sometimes we disagree with the actions of a small minority within a group we associate ourselves and as a result distance ourselves from these groups. Never lose heart and remember that while every one of us may be traveling different paths we all seek the same destination.
