“Let him that would move the world, first move himself” -Socrates
In the dark of the shadow in my head
I feel the haunting of the nameless dread
Ravenous beast, with a viper’s poison
“I am your silent doubt,” the demon said
“I want to see you drown” // NO!
Over the fields of fire
I’ll bring the rain
Shout with the metal choir
I will feel no pain
Over the mountains I am rising higher
I’ve almost forgotten your name
Now I hear no evil from within,
Time to begin
Formless serpent sent to steal
All ambition, biting at my heel
It wants to choke and bleed the future dry,
To kill the engine and to lock the wheels,
To stop the drive!
I will not back down
I will not give in
Over the fields of fire
I’ll bring the rain
Shout with the metal choir
I will feel no pain
Over the mountains I am rising higher
I’ve almost forgotten your name
Now I hear no evil from within,
Time to begin
Time to reconcile
What I know and what I need to be
The distance between ourselves and our goals
Is only as long as we allow it to be
We are the bridge across the divide
We are the wind howling from either side
To bridge the gap is to overcome our self

Raise

It’s time to raise the bar
Get in their way, show ‘em who you are
Put on your game face, stare em down
Make them take a knee to understand how it feels to be closer to the ones they trample;
How it feels for the powerless
You’re no son of a bitch
In the prison they think they control
Inside the system, you’re the killing glitch
The one who will crash it all
NOW RAISE, NOW SAVE
Dig your heels into the ground, you will feel the crash of history
All around you, the cacophony of savage ways
Free of fear, free of doubt, we turn the gears as their time is running out
In your heart, have no shame, you hold the flame that can never go out
NOW RAISE YOUR VOICES
NOW SAVE THE ONES WHOM THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED

We Can Do More

Lyrics:
The blood-stained halls of education are once again under attack
By lobbyists and gun fetishists nourishing their souls of black
They say to toe the line, while still more children die
They hide behind the guise of serving the law
Is the life of a child worth more than your right to a gun?
Then say it loud and clear, once and for all
WE CAN DO MORE
For the lives we lost,
WE CAN DO MORE
With fire in our hearts,
WE CAN DO MORE
WE CAN DO MORE
Get away from the middle ground, fight back and take a stand
March for their lives before the hourglass runs out of sand
The point of no return Is a place we will have earned
If we refuse to learn, refuse to hear the call
See the perspective of the front of the barell of the gun
Know and respect it, no more time to stall
WE CAN DO MORE
For the lives we lost,
WE CAN DO MORE
With fire in our hearts,
WE CAN DO MORE
WE CAN DO MORE
Nobody has to die — THIS ENDS TODAY
We cannot save tomorrow if we will not start today
Step out of your politics, and find a way
Remember their names! No, the time is not too late!
To say “NEVER AGAIN”

Soon now, night will rise
What’s left of the light will die
Never you mind how the time will fly
Come Join us
Drink with us all,
Don’t turn from the call
Join in the parade of souls
Break out and leave your mind
What you seek, oh, you will find
Move your feet, march in line
Come Join us
Drink with us all,
Don’t turn from the call,
Join in the parade of souls

MANIFEST LUNACY
I can solve this and my way is the only one
I can't solve this and I don't know how we will
You can't solve what is not a problem
You can solve this by leaving -- GO NOW!
You can't solve this and I won't help you
I can't solve this and we will die

Run through forests on a hot summer day
Trying to break down walls of numbing pain
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Taste the water from a stream of running death
Eat the apple and cough a dying breath
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Feel the sun burning through your black skin
Pour me into a hole, inform my next of kin
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Run through graveyards on a dusty winter day
Spit the dirt out and try to say
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
