Verse: A life of purpose denied Void of all thought yet you still recognize The stench of a substance so vile Losing your grip as it drags you down Chorus: Into the abyss From which there's no return These twisting faces will watch as you burn Verse: A hell you could not conceive Chaos, madness run free with rampancy The swift reward is your end You have sealed a fate that you could not comprehend It's dragging you down Chorus: Into the abyss From which there's no return These twisting faces will watch as you burn Bridge: Paranoia misanthropy A life of misery, death and disease Another fix is another day But there's no light when you're Awake in the Grave Are you dead or just alive in the black? Is this a dream or a horrid flashblack? This is more than you bargained for Yet you can't escape this all-consuming void Outro: Your screams are silent Take your last breath The endless cycle Brought endless death

Disconnected from the world Without a shred of moral concern From your tower you look down Below they rot away Dissidents die in vain You can't defy us now Your masters we remain Breeding in your stupidity Spread the message of fear and hate Bent down in humility Do exactly as I say No questions will be answered Your thoughts are surely flawed No rhyme or reason Just Blatant Disregard Unrest is brewing down below Shaking the foundation of all that you know From your tower you look down Your treachery they'll repay Dissidents we remain You can't defy us now We'll smite you in disdain Breeding in your stupidity Spread the message of fear and hate Bent down in humility Do exactly as I say No questions will be answered Your thoughts are surely flawed No rhyme or reason Just Blatant Disregard Brought down by the siege You may run but you cannot hide Give your life unto me Your life means nothing to the world You beg, you plead as I take the pleasure of watching you bleed I revoke, reclaim all the power that you hold You're corrupt, insane, blind and drunk with power I refuse, resist as you beg for your life You coward, you fraud, your wealth won't save you Dictation reinstated by the populous This war of terror you cannot win Eternally you're doomed to be Forgotten, left behind in the echoes of the past

Defector 06:12
I have no fear of the unknown There is a trap in the ways we are shown I cannot stand idly by and watch the death of what was never meant to die This is not a mutiny it's where I stand alone Dormant no more I won't give in to the easy way out of this life I will not be ignored Regain control Defect from the path they have paved Never follow those who seek to control you Open your eyes to desensitize the mind to this ongoing plague I have no fear of the unseen There is more to life than what's on your screen There is no victor in a war without end I won't be a part of something that I'd never defend This is not a mutiny it's where I stand alone Dormant no more I won't give in to the easy way out of this life I will not be ignored Regain control Defect from the path they have paved Never follow those who seek to control you Open your eyes to desensitize the mind to this ongoing plague I denounce this state I deny this way of life I grow filled with hate as I watch humanity die You no longer decide what is right and wrong This place you see as free, this is the place I will never belong I leave this dying world behind with no regret I am the Defector This is not a mutiny it's where I stand alone Dormant no more I won't give in to the easy way out of this life I will not be ignored Regain control Defect from the path
