1. Ignition
Raise the guns
At every self-made suspicion
Build the bombs
Corrupt policy’s decision

That’s the sound
Of integrity breaking its back
In a country founded as a thievery act

Raise the guns
At every self-made suspicion
Build the bombs
Corrupt policy’s decision

Times are dark with our children spoon-fed ignorance
Inheritance of an anxious trigger finger

Raise the guns
At every self-made suspicion
Build the bombs
Corrupt policy’s decision

Our Leaders Preach if we disagree
We’re the traitors of society
Homophobia, Racism, Sexism
Our Systems breed supremacy

Ignition
Inception
Burning is a fuse to destruction
Break the walls of ignorance
To disarm the world for the its last chance
(repeat)

Time again for war
On an enemy that isn’t real
Greedy selfish warlords
Feed the agenda, death’s the meal

[solo : Matt]

That’s the sound, Impending fever crawling up your spine
In a country
Where nothing is truly made clear

Raise the guns
At every self-made suspicion
Build the bombs
Corrupt policy’s decision

Our Leaders Preach if we disagree
We’re the traitors of society
Homophobia, Racism, Sexism
Our Systems breed supremacy

Ignition
Inception
Burning is a fuse to destruction
Break the walls of ignorance
To disarm the world for the its last chance
(repeat)

2. Detonation
That’s the sound of humanity melting away
Say goodbye, it’s the end of days
Fire rains down on the American dream
Watch all you love seethe and scream

Each will dig their own graves
And bury themselves in life’s failures

It’s our bombs we’ve masterminded lighting the skies
Hideous misfires many die
Those who survive soon will suffocate
By the poisons we create

Each will dig their own graves
And bury themselves in life’s failures

Detonation Detonation

When civilization crumbles man will turn
On one another killing true

[solo: Matt, Corey]

The darkest of times will then come to be
Through our selfish killer instincts

And now the ground we called our home
Is but a barren wasteland

And now the ground we called our home
Is but a barren wasteland
The only sound drowning your cries
Is the detonation

[solo: Corey]

It seems we’re running out of time
All good as dead just stand in line
It seems we’re running out of time
All good as dead just stand in line

[solo: Matt]

And now the ground we called our home
Is but a barren wasteland
The only sound drowning your cries
Is the detonation

[solo: Corey]

3.Entrance Of The Conflagration
A common woman
Lives by the bible
Wed-locked a prison
Of antiquation
Brings life to the earth
While losing her mind
Trying suicide
Hallucinating Satan

Forcing her own blood down
Beneath the waters to drown
Lying dead with eyes wide open

Spiraling downward
Refusing all help
Self-mutilation
Neglects the children
Dagger licks her neck
Desiring escape
Succumbing Satan
Robbed by the seventh deadly sin

Forcing her own blood down
Beneath the waters to drown
Lying dead with eyes wide open
Believing Satan was inside
Ordering to abide
To destroy her cursed children

Entrance of the conflagration

[solo: Corey, Matt]

Conditions worsen
Searching for answers
In holy scriptures
Systematic plan
Water fills the tub
All of her children
Floating lifelessly
Innocence chased down and drowned

Forcing her own blood down
Beneath the waters to drown
Lying dead with eyes wide open
Believing Satan was inside
Ordering to abide
To destroy her cursed children

4.Anthem (We Are The Fire)
[solo: Matt]
Just when they thought you were through
You’ve burned their lies, now you’re strengthened it’s true
Turn your backs on your enemies
And let those motherfuckers rot in their jealousy

They
Can’t stand
That the worlds up for taking and we are adamant
Hell bent
Determined to dominate everything

We are the fire
We are the fire
Resound the anthem
We are the fire

The music connects, unites us more
Our masses strengthened, an unstoppable horde
We’re all now a family
Together let’s show the world what we say

They
Can’t stand
That the worlds up for taking and we are adamant
Hell bent
Determined to dominate everything

Turn your backs on your enemies
And let those motherfuckers rot in their jealousy
We’re all now a family
Together let’s show the world what we say

We are the fire
We are the fire
Resound the anthem
We are the fire
We are the fire
Resound the anthem
We are the fire, fire!

[solo: Corey, Matt, Corey]

wooo-oohh wooo-oohh wooo-oohh wooo-oohh,
wooo-oohh wooo-oohh wooo-oohh wooo-oohh,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeeeeeeeeeeah

We are the fire
We are the fire
We sound the anthem
(repeat)

We are the fire!
[solo: Matt]

5. Unrepentant
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
Fear the young would follow old
Daughter must be killed

For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters

For your honor
You will slaughter
It’s you who should be slaughtered

Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it’s soiled pride
Ashamed mad man

You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away

You’re the man unrepentant
Don’t you realize
You murdered your own children
Call that honorable cause?

For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters

For your honor
You will slaughter
It’s you who should be slaughtered

Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride
Ashamed mad man

You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away

[solo: Corey]

For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters

For your honor
You will slaughter
It’s you who should be slaughtered

Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride
Ashamed mad man

You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away

6.And Sadness Will Sear
Shepherd is chased by the wolves
Wolves who live by intolerance and hate
For what they couldn’t understand
Blinded and vicious are the beasts
Needing and ripping at a beautiful human
Who did nothing more than be himself

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

Scarecrow is left crucified
Left freezing, bleeding, tired of wondering why
The wolves just couldn’t understand
It’s the preachers and the teachers
Government’s close-minded creatures
Trying to teach us to hate
That which is different

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

It’s 12:53 AM, October 12th
When the scarecrow died
A victim of society’s cruelty

It’s 12:53 AM, October 12th
When the shepherd died
The candle’s light will alight your departure

[solo: Matt]

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear
[solo: Corey]

7.Becoming the Dragon
Swimming the river ascending
Free of fear, filled with purpose
Nishikigoi fights through oceans of adversity
Against the current to obtain the highest goals

Swim through oceans of suffering
Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
Become
Transform from Koi into a beast
Dragon

A living symbol of courage
No wave will shatter these scales
Dreams of three eagle claws and the paws of a tiger
Waterfall’s up ahead, one thing left to do

Swim through oceans of suffering
Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
Become
Transform from Koi into a beast
Dragon

You’ll never stop the becoming, yeah
This dragon will rise and be king

[solo: Corey]

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

Swim through oceans of suffering
Swim through oceans of suffering
Climb to the falls of Dragon Gate
Become
Transform from Koi into a beast
Dragon

[solo: Matt, Paolo]

8.To The Rats
You hide behind barricades
Built of Facades
You think you’re safe

But someday we all will find you
Come to where you work
And fucking tie you

Every lie
Shoved back
Down your throat
By our hands

A skull fuck
For every word
Just try to breathe
Don’t fuck with this

Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I’ll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions

Obsess as each second fades
In denial of your mind made
Still your jealousy precedes you
You’re really in love
With all that I do

Every lie
Shoved back
Down your throat
By our hands

A skull fuck
For every word
Just try to breathe
Don’t fuck with this

Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I’ll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions

This is to the rats
This is to the rats

[solo: Corey]

This is to the rats
This is to the rats

[solo: Matt]

And your conscience
Still tears at you
You secretly
Want to be just like me

A skull fuck
For every word
Just try to breathe
Don’t fuck with this

Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I’ll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions

Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I’ll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions

9.This World Can’t Tear Us Apart
I was so empty
Self loathing
Before you awoke me
Lived in transgression
Feasted sin
Destroying all I stood for

A world with spreading disease
They stood for infidelity
They Force feed on their sip of sickness
The prophets hiding their rage
Just sucked out some of the pain
That takes this world into
Lovelessness

All the pain in this world
Won’t stop us now
For we have each other
All the hate in this world
Can’t tear us apart
This love is forever

In arms we’ll turn away
From their ways
We’ll live like no other
Together we’re hope
Absolute
The only thing that matters

A world with spreading disease
They stood for infidelity
They Force feed on their sip of sickness
The prophets hiding their rage
Just sucked out some of the pain
That takes this world into
Lovelessness

All the pain in this world
Won’t stop us now
For we have each other
All the hate in this world
Can’t tear us apart
This love is forever

[solo: Matt]

All the pain in this world
Won’t stop us now
All the hate in this world
Can’t tear us apart

All the pain in this world
Won’t stop us now
For we have each other
All the hate in this world
Can’t tear us apart
This love is forever

10.Tread the Floods
Stress breaking my back
Pulse is stuttering
Pressure mental attack
My thoughts cluttering

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

Nervousness halting all will
Forcing apathy
Anxiety an aching chill
Hammering down me

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

Tread the floods so you can hope to seize
You own reality
Before it escapes thee
Watch yourself drown in disarray
It’s time to brake away
Or we’ll die today

Tread the floods so you can hope to seize
You own reality
Before it escapes thee
Watch yourself drown in disarray
It’s time to brake away
Or we’ll die today

[solo: Corey]

Stress breaking my back

I’m knee-deep in the dead still wading

Tread the floods so you can hope to seize

11.Contempt Breeds Contamination
Mistaken identity
You really got this one wrong
Racially singled out
He must have a gun
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

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

Murder must still be a crime
When our inherent freedom
Is hatefully gunned down
By who we entrust
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

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

Contempt breeds contamination
Contempt breeds contamination
Contempt breeds contamination

[solo: Matt]

Hitting him 19 times
Searching the body there were no weapons found
He lies with all who died in vain

Contempt breeds contamination
Contempt breeds contamination
Contempt breeds contamination

12.The Rising
[Solo : Jason]

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

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: Jason]

Like a rift opened in the 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

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 : Corey]

So raise your voices with me
And sing this song of unity
So raise your hands up with me
And hold this moment eternally
(repeat)

[Solo : Matt]

13.The Crusade
(instrumental)

14. Broken One
Defeat grips you
Life deflates you
Killed your hopes too
You won’t make it through

Pick up the pieces
There is a better way
Put yourself together
Try to make a change

This world’s so twisted
You can still make a change
Protect and care for all around
Stop the spread of hate

You feel like the broken one
Over and over again
You taste blood, you’re through, you’re done
Only you can make it end

Can’t let it stay
Kills more each day
Amputate pain
Tear it all away

Pick up the pieces
There is a better way
Put yourself together
Try to make a change

This world’s so twisted
You can still make a change
Protect and care for all around
Stop the spread of hate

You feel like the broken one
Over and over again
You taste blood, you’re through, you’re done
Only you can make it end (Over and over again…)

Pick up the pieces
There is a better way
Put yourself together
Try to make a change

This world’s so twisted
You can still make a change
Protect and care for all around
Stop the spread of hate

You feel like the broken one
Over and over again
You taste blood, you’re through, you’re done
Only you can make it end
You feel like the broken one
Over and over again (Over and over again…)
You taste blood, you’re through, you’re done
Only you can make it end (Over and over again, Over and over again…)
