Curbstomped
02:32
|

A full facial displacement
Smashed against the pavement
Head colliding with cement
In bone-breaking punishment
Curbstomped
Curbstomped
A violent rearrangement
Of the skeletal placement
All that's left is fragments
After bludgeoning torment
Under heel and heavy boot
Crushes what's left of you
Under heel and heavy boot
Crushes what's left of you
Under heel and heavy boot
Crushes what's left of you
Under heel and heavy boot
Crushes what's left of you

Survival of the Richest
02:07
|
|||
Scammed by the promise
That your freedom is owed
Choices never mattered
Never in control
The price
Paid in
Your Life
Wasted
Selling me a future I can't possibly afford
I've been paying for it since the day I was born
Survival of the richest
And your life's the cost
Your blood is worthless
And your life is ours

To Protect & Serve
02:52
|
|||
Government protected goons
Disgrace the badge and they're coming for you
They make all the rules
Enforce with hate, how long will it continue?
To protect and serve
They'll get what they
To protect and serve
They'll get what they deserve
To them, we're less than human
A stereotype and they follow the program
A vicious, lethal flaw
When killers are left to enforce the law
To protect and serve
They'll get what they
To protect and serve
They'll get what they deserve
Murderers in uniform
With a license to kill
When will we rise against their system?
Nothing will change
Unless we unite
So gather yourselves and be ready to fight
To protect and serve
They'll get what they
To protect and serve
They'll get what they deserve

Taken away to an unmarked grave
At the dusk of your final day
A nightmare you can't escape
Death by suffocation is your fate
Thrown to a casket, yet to be sealed
A fate worse than death is now revealed
Another nail
Another nail
Another nail in the coffin now
Another nail
Another nail
Another nail in the coffin
Struggling out of room
Lying in your wooden tomb
Locked away and fed to dirt
Waste of breath, screams unheard

Taken by Flame
02:44
|
|||
Charred husk of what you were
A Blackened visage of a man
What's left reduced to ash
Crumbles with the wind
Last attempts to save yourself
Desperate for salvation
Flesh is melted off the bone
In fire your life is taken
Face your doom with bated breath
Make your peace with certain death
Crying out in burning agony
You've been left for dead
Trail of smoke consumes you
As you suffer till the end
Last attempts to save yourself
Desperate for salvation
Flesh is melted off the bone
In fire your life is taken
Face your doom with bated breath
Make your peace with certain death
Your own mortality, the open wick
As your body meets the tip of a match
Eaten alive by the flame that kills
And return to nothing at last
Ripping through with unending torture
Where every moment of pain is felt
Feel your world slowly stripped away
Die nameless, in vain
With no one to blame
You’re chained to a fate taken by flame
All at once your nerves
Engulfed in flames
Any molecule of moisture
Just Evaporates
Scream your life away
As it ends in a chorus of flames
Scream your life away
As it ends in a chorus of flames

Inheritance
03:18
|
|||
Ignorance shows no mercy
With its claws in deep
Pain taught us our Worth
Their Hate is ours to feed
Prejudice within your borders
Built a country over our graves
Monuments upon our backs
Can't hide the lives you take
An agenda a century old
And I'm the next in line
This hate is My inheritance
Their scars, Their scars are mine
A cheap slogan and an orange shirt
Worn to deceive with all they burn
Broken promises and empty words
Was all our pain ever earned
What awareness is left to raise
Was this ever going to change
Your mind was already made
A cycle impossible to break
An agenda a century old
And I'm the next in line
This hate is My inheritance
Their scars, Their scars are mine
Strangled by the poverty
Asphyxiate the youth
What little hope abandoned
When it's light reached so few
Endure but never prosper
This is the fate of a slave
Branded by their atrocities
As we fall within in its wake
