1.	Curbstomped 02:32	lyrics	buy track
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 Curbstomped Curbstomped Curbstomped Curbstomped
2.	Survival of the Richest 02:07	lyrics	buy track
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
3.	To Protect & Serve 02:52	lyrics	buy track
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
4.	Another Nail in the Coffin 03:06	lyrics	buy track
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
5.	Taken by Flame 02:44	lyrics	buy track
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
6.	Inheritance 03:18	lyrics	buy track
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
