TEXTS

Now You'll Know

RED SUN
The life and soul of the Revolution
is only what we bring with us
Engulf this country in the flames of war
The path shines on, we are not lost.

And we rise yet again
Like the red sun

While billions they suffer all over the world
Those with nothing left to give, give us their lives
So do we stand and be counted, or hide our empty heads?
Better something than nothing because we're almost dead.

TIRANA
When the fascists came to take you and everything you had
There was nothing they could do against the unforgiving land.
The mountains surround them to take their worthless lives
And the heroes of the people live til the end of time.

Tirana we hear you
Tirana we know you

Grandmothers fought alongside their daughters and their sons
Nothing will be spared to achieve liberation.
The "poor man of Europe" would use his crutch no more
Shqiptar kryemgritje, aferohet dita
(Albanian Revolution, the day approaches)

CULTURAL REVOLUTION
This culture of degradation
We lose our hearts and minds.
Where "COPS" is seen as entertainment
and the poor are left behind.
Millions hooked on nothing
All escaping their lives
Oppression breeds destruction
but I know we can rise

One heart and one mind
In this cultural Revolution

Raising our sights higher
than the horizon set for us
WE can achieve anything
it's ourselves we have to trust
Are you ready for the sacrifices
I know we'll have to bear?
See beyond your "favorite show"
Or don't get anywhere

One heart and one mind
In this cultural Revolution.

MUMIA
Fear strikes at the heart in this land of the slaves
Under every fucking mall lie another thousand graves
Screaming from the shadows he says, "I know what you are!"
Hear the people singing: "Free Amu Jamal!"

Free Mumia

Threats are getting louder but there is no compromise
From a brother who has dedicated his life to fight the lies
There is no truth in the systems dying days
As long as we can fight there will always be a way.

Free Mumia

ONE OUT OF THREE
Hear your sister crying every night
I know you know someone who does.
If the grass is greener on the other side,
show me where this other side is.
What if it was your mother there on the floor
crying until she fell asleep?
More than statistics or sad, sad songs
Condescending with your sympathy

One out of three

NO MORE
I hate you more than you hate the poor who work the land.
When Wall Street falls I'll hear you curse the peasant's calloused hands
the backs that broke to keep you fed while families went without.
You fear the faceless who made you rich, why are you so fucking proud?

No more

Confront the people in their millions, a Revolution born.
Dirt floors and endless poverty- the seeds of war are sown.
The Zapatista's rifles sing loud enough for us to hear
Either with us or with the pigs, the choice is fucking clear

BELIEFS
Nothing left of honesty and guts.
No one left with beliefs they'd die for
Winding down now something must erupt
Let's all find something we can life for

Do you believe in love?
Have you seen the hate?
Do you believe in Revolution?
We can make the evolution.

Action now- Fuck White Power
Show the way by example, we lead our own lives
Seize the time let's have the hour
Exposing all their hatred and their dirty lies.

TODAY'S THE DAY
We take the words right from our hearts
and change them into a living thing.
Traditions based on exploitation is nothing we want to keep.
We take the boots off our necks
every time we hear the truth- "The system is dying"
And it wants to take us down

Today's the day
That we break tradition's chains
Today's' the day
that we throw it all away
Today's the day when nothing stays the same
Today's the day.

A BULLET
The cops who go out immigrant bashing
The politicians who set them loose
The morons fooled into voting for them
We will resist or fall

And now I've got the answer- A bullet
Now you've given me the reason- A bullet

Tell your lies I see through you
I know the truth we will have you
Preach your filth, cast your ballot
I see right through you.

And now I've got the answer- A bullet
Now you've given me the reason- A bullet

I see right through you.

WE WILL FREE OURSELVES
All the democratic posturing
cannot suppress the truth
Despite the fucking ballots
There is something we refuse.
We mount the stage of history- Let the pacifists go home
And patriotic soldiers gun down their very own.

We will free ourselves
And all humankind

Unafraid of sacrifice
we've done it all before
they'd have no profits without us
Now they'll have a civil war
And the priests cna never stop us
when we've had enough of lies
Unafraid of bloodshed
we're taking back the time.

OPPRESSION
You vomit racist slurs
I can smell your bile a mile away
So complacent is your life
you're probably not aware that you carry this disease
So shut your fucking mouth and open up your eyes
I wish that you were color blind

You don't know oppression

You complain that it's not fair
The minority got the job
Your reactionary statement only goes to show
How blind you really are
w hen it comes to right and wrongs in this fucked up world
where the oppressor has it all.

ANOTHER TIME
I can barely stand the thought of another working day
As I struggle with my drudgery I'm a million miles away
I guess no one really knows what freedom really means.
Only in my dreams can I be what I want to be.

In another time we'll get what we deserve
In another time we'll get what we have earned
In another time we'll have made all of the gains
I won't let myself die in vain.

With nothing but our hands we can only sell our time
And if you don't like it there's a hundred more in line
to come and take a job that they'll hate just as much.
Time to educate ourselves, there's too many out of touch.
Some changes to be made for a better life for all
Take control for ourselves the state of things must fall.

Keep working for the change consciousness must climb
maybe not today but in another time.

AK47
These contradictions are dragging us down
They talk the truth then fuck us around
Money and freedom can't stand side by side
Police as protectors a ruling class lie

AK47

A Nazi on fire is a true work of art
A bombing in line will give me heart
To push for the day a new flag will fly
When racists and profits will all fucking die

SELLOUT
You wear your price tag on your heart but it's too much to pay
For some recognition, adulation, a lie that they call fame
Insecure but never more than a money making tool
Rebel rocker live the falsehood playing by the rules

It's over you sellout

Justify and doublespeak we already understand
The dollar signs are louder than a stadium of fans
Alternative to what I wonder? The other side of truth
Another businessman is squeezing money from the youth

It's over you sellout

TIME'S UP
You'd think they'd never heard of freedom
that you now think you have
With time their thoughts have narrowed
and it's really kind of sad that at one time they were just like you
You find it hard to believe and tomorrow you'll be just like them
Just you wait and see.

Your time's up
Your time's almost up

Voting to the right side when you said you'd never vote
A band aid for your conscience give the charities a note
But when someone asks for money you say "Go get a job"
Will you find yourself in church this week?
Afraid not to believe in god.

Your time's up.

WHERE ARE YOU?

Every cop understands what side they're fighting on
Yet some of us will argue and say that this is wrong
And the motherfuckers making millions off of everybody's backs
like to sow confusion as they continue their attacks

Are you with me?
Where are you?
Will you be there?
Where are you?
Stand again
Where are you?
Are you with me?

Taking back the land is a never ending "crime"
But the First Nations have been here since the beginning of time
The pigs will always be there but where will you be?
Time is getting tight.
This is the hour of need.

THIS WORLD
It's like poetry every time I hear it-"We are not lying down this time"
A flower blooms in the crack of the sidewalk.
Sendero know that it's no crime to take a fascist down,
to sing another song and take what is our own.

This world is ours

It's like seeing the sun rise for the first time and feeling like you're really alive.
Understanding you are not alone, but one of a thousand points of light
And it's revolution time.
Would you lay down your life?

Dying on your feet
Or living on your knees
This world is ours

DOESN'T MEAN A THING
Do you hear the hypocrisy with every hymn they sing?
Misdirect your sorrow until it doesn't mean a thing.
Some churches fill with hatred almost every other day
but the needles in the parking lot just never go away

And it doesn't mean a thing

I can recite you numbers until the day is done
but it may not mean a thing unless you know someone who's been brutalized,
raped and beaten in your very home.
And I reject everything that leads us to this hell.

It doesn't mean a thing.

YEARS
All the years of degradation
All the years of nothing at all
All the years of mis-education
All the years of kicking at the walls

Eagerly she takes the gun from the dying Yankee's bloody hands
t o avenge all the theft's and murders from L.A. to Vietnam.
The crying's over.
And self pity is cast away in favour of a red heart.
Yearns for revolution.
Now she's found true love.

RE-EDUCATION CAMP #7
I have a dream I know has happened and it will again.
I have more faith in this than the Pope does in all his gold.
You will unlearn all your hate, rape, war and racist lies.
You will unlearn everything that's fucked or you will die trying.

Everything you need to know
I know where you need to go
Re-education camp #7

After all the smoke has cleared the comrades will take up the task.
The women will teach you respect and you'll make up for your past.
So earn your life or go to where the Nazis will call home-
Six feet under motherfucker
There is no race but one.

Now you'll know.

RED ANTHEM

USELESS
Compassion fades to apathy as you disappear
Another fucking drunk.
You can't hide your fear.
This is the easy road that you've fallen on
now it's all you've got and your dead and gone.

It's all over now you're of no use to anyone

The promise you once had is gone for now.
Your sexist shit is played out- It's in the ground.
Drink what the fuck you want just keep your head on straight.
Your so-called friends won't stand by you when it's too late.

SET THE CAPTIVES FREE
He colours a lifetime with freedom's song.
A rebel's shade of red but someone couldn't stand to hear it.
The keepers of hunger, rape and disease
fear the very words of the revolutionary.

Set the captives free

We're recruiting soldiers for the day the dollar dies.
The system is on fire as we annihilate the lies.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Hear them try to reach you with their so-called words of wisdom
just to knock you down again.
From your parents to your teachers to the priests and politicians
and others who used to be friends.

Tear them down.
Throw them away.
you are someone no matter what they say.
Sometimes you fall but will never break
You will find your voice in these darkest days.

You are not alone

Told that your opinion means nothing- you should be seen but never heard.
As they take another drink and watch their TV you think "Fuck their empty words."

Tear them down.
Throw them away.
you are someone no matter what they say.
Sometimes you fall but will never break
You will find your voice in these darkest days.

WASTE OF TIME
Years have passed living by night.
The party's over now it's just survival.
From fun to pathetic working death
No longer useful, no longer a threat.

Now you're a waste of time.

I still remember how you laughed when everyone said it wouldn't last.
Now the lights are on everyone's gone home.
You're so fucking tired and all alone.

A SINGLE SPARK
The youth have all gone crazy
hear them sigh in disbelief as every generation gets awakened from their sleep.
Coming on like fire.
It's time to take the world.
Call out the system's liars and watch the flags unfurl.

Just a single spark can start a prairie fire.

The artwork of rebellion covers up the city walls.
The pigs come down on everyone their minds so fucking small.
Because every generation has something new to give,
We'll sleep away injustice- this is no way to live.

MANIFESTO
In renouncing your flag and murderous god,
we take back one shred of hope.
In the belief that borders mean nothing
we erase all the lies that you wrote.
As sisters and brothers break loose from divisions that bind us day by day.
As comrades we forge a will made of iron and nothing can block our way.

We fight your lies.

TRUTH
Here they come again with their lies in their hearts
where integrity don't mean a thing.
Where cash means more than all the kids they let down.
Their lies will come to an end.

Without a reason for their existence
and all the hope they offer to no one.
We'll find inspiration, we'll find the truth and just like Sendero- you know we will win.

Train a generation to fall over itself.
I'm failing to see what it means.
All these rebels march to their master's voice
just another fool on your TV.

Without a reason for their existence
and all the hope they offer to no one.
We'll find inspiration, we'll find the truth and just like Sendero- you know we will win.

You see it, you feel it- We'll knock them down this time.
With education- revolution- we refuse to get in line.

BORDERS
Poison dripping from the tongues with hatred in their Christian hearts.
The preach god's love and democracy yet still they stand apart.
And never will we go with their master-racial dream
We let everybody know just exactly what we mean

As we tear down the borders in our hearts
As we tear don the borders in our minds
As we tear down the borders in this very land
As we tear down the borders in this world

They abuse the name of freedom to fit their twisted minds
and they lie about everything to get you into line.
N ever will we go with their master-racial dream
We let everybody know just exactly what we mean as we tear down the borders.

TAKE BACK
Fear the reflection of your own face- Amerikkka see your self again.
As your soldiers trod on foreign lands denying the humble a right to live.
No surprise as the bombs explode-
Unwelcome, yet you're everywhere.
Now feel the pain you cause everyday all in the name of liberty.

Let every nation take back what Amerikkka denies.

ALMOST OVER
The laughter fades away
and like the death of Rock And Roll
I couldn't see it coming down this time
A rebellion in it's time
now an empty, hopeless parody.
We are the underground on the frontline

Their song is almost over
It never should have started

We do it all for love and hope
We do it all for revolution
We do it all for everything but lies.

STOLEN LIVES
The blood runs cold in every cop
who knows his job and fuck what's right.
Children losing lives for nothing.
Shots ring out and laughter dies.
Cover ups, misinformation, another fucking pig goes free.

We are in a war for our lives.

Stolen.
Another life.

FEAR NOTHING
Understand the fear as they cover up their badge numbers-
it's done and you're all alone.

It's happened countless times to so many just like you-
so close yet so far from hope.
Strength lies in our unity and unity's our strength-and old cliche.
Forever true.
The pigs don't represent us, they represent our death-bound system.
And when we awake they are though.

Fear nothing be down for the whole thing.

PUNK ROCK ANTI-COP SONG
Just another fucking cop
with murder on his mind.
Paid to do his job
but justice is not blind
No job, no hope, no right to be alive
Just stay in place don't get out of line.

No more justice
No more peace
No more lies
No more fools saying everything is fine

THE ONLY WAR
He felt the tremors in the calm before the war.
Now the graves bear witness
to the carnage of the poor.
Amass the grains of paradise- defend your land and creed.
The masks of Bourgeois liars.
And we all die for their greed.

The only war we'll ever fight is the one that takes them down.

We fight each other over scraps our master throws to us.
We fight each other
but it's the rule of money I don't trust.
They'd take way the sky if they could only sell it back.

The falg of racist butchers will never be my flag.

RED ANTHEM
They tell that we're nothing
as they tear the statues down.
I still see the red flag flying as Nazis hit the ground
Democracy means poverty for almost everyone.
As we fall we rise again
just like the setting sun

Revolutionaries in the heartland
of the lost Amerikkkan dream organize the people to take power in the streets.
And our comrades in Peru, Nepal and the Philippines
will show the world who's really dead and what the fascists need

To do away with war and famine
to do away with rape.
To do away with stereotypes that keep us in our place.
WE will learn form our mistakes and from our victories.
We will learn form the blood we shed and will not be deceived.

MUMIA
Fear strikes at the heart in this land of the slaves
Under every fucking mall lie another thousand graves
Screaming from the shadows he says, "I know what you are!"
Hear the people singing: "Free Amu Jamal!"

Free Mumia

Threats are getting louder but there is no compromise
From a brother who has dedicated his life to fight the lies
There is no truth in the systems dying days
As long as we can fight there will always be a way.

Free Mumia


FREE PALESTINE

2 BIT TERRORIST
Threaten the world with death and war
Unleash disease and hate
Fill up the prisons with darker skin
Let the fascist colours fly
Disarm the world as you see fit until you're the only one
Who's got the right to kill to lie at the point of a gun.

Rise up together
Take it higher
Free our prisoners
Rise up

And a stolen election
On stolen land
Your rule unrecognized
But we understand that you're a two-bit terrorist
As you called our comrades
And nothing can stop us.
Your flag will die.

DARE TO STRUGGLE DARE TO WIN
Take over the buildings empty and lifeless
Reclaim the streets where they want us to die
Billions for warfare on helpless civilians
Fill up the prisons as death will fly
No war no lies no racists we organize
No profits no sweatshops no hunger we will stand up

Never to be knocked down again
Dare to struggle dare to win

BOTTLE
sometimes our freedom comes with gasoline filled molotov cocktails
sometimes we soldier on with the strength of 20 hearts
when you close your eyes and look into the future
what do you see when the bottle leaves your hand
did you see the future rising from the rubble, did you feel the pain of loss
that drives us all?
this is the freedom call
the future’s rising from the rubble, the strength of every-one’s enough to
win the war
but did you think about it before you threw the bottle

DEAD FAITH
As kids bow down to pray - god save us from your holy men.
A hell created on earth now where do we turn to?
Let the fire burn it clean throughout their sacred pages
Let the blood of the wicked flow wash it all away

Dead faith liars
Submission it's over

I'd nail you up myself - a martyr for the predators
How many suicides were caused in the shadow of the cross?
Let the fire burn it clean throughout their sacred pages
Let the blood of the wicked flow wash it all away

NIHILISTIC
Sometimes you feel a hatred for everything you see
A fool is fucked up on poison thinking that he's free
With some holy roller child molester selling you his shit
And the cops are pleading innocent as someone's getting hit

No we won't we can't
Accept this shit
No we won't we can't
Be part of it

Everytime you turn around there's another Rodney King
To the tune of gunfire the revolutionary sings
Our elected fucks lie and kill-- choke back another drink
The world will blaze with justice it's closer than you think

PRISON HOUSE OF NATIONS
One million people three billion in profits
We know who's really free
Prison tomorrow welfare for no one
Education out of reach
Three strikes you're out or hooked on some shit
Death in your front yard
The only jobs around these days
Is thief or prison guard

As we raise the flag turn the guns around
Burn America to the ground

Illusions of freedom a dying affliction
There's blood on all our hands
The streets are now filled with five fucking million
What's left to understand
Your petty ideals are nothing to no one
It's time to fucking move
This evil disease is killing the world
Will you refuse to see the truth

NOTHING
Deceived again for their never ending wars
An empire of greed built on blood
Another slave revolt, another kingdom falls
Once despised we dare to stand up.

They have nothing
They have nothing but lies

And they talk about god while preparing to kill
Pray before they prey on the weak
And they sing about freedom while denying yours
Censor your words before you speak

FALSE JUDGEMENT
Do the trackmarks on her arm make you feel better about who you think you are
and what everyone should be?
When the tears that trace the lines of her face keep coming down..
Surrender to the buring questions in her eyes

and if I die will you notice?
and when I die will you even care?
There's a war going on and you don't even know it
when I die will you even care?

When the slightest happiness has been forgotten
When the nightmares seem to all come true and dreams are left behind
Will you say that everything's alright?
Will you try to understand what's really going on?

DEFIANT DAYS
As they legislate injustice
It's the only thing they know
They make the law-we break the law
And discontent will grow

We'll occupy their buildings and every city street
They'll make us look like criminals
We won't admit defeat

And we'll fight back
Any way that we know how
And we'll never give up
We bleed for everyone
In these days of defiance do you know which side you're on?
We'll fight back
Any way that we know how.

FIRE
They're really not so far away
Prachanda in the hills
Landlords fearing judfement day on the rooftop of the world
There's fire from the mountains
Comrades take a stand
Teach the enemy a lesson
The poor take back the land

There's fire in the mountains.

FREE PALESTINE
Born of desperation another holy suicide
In a land claimed by everyone as their own sacred place
But man's law prevails in the villages and jails
As those once oppressed turn into what they hate

Rocks and stones fight the tanks
The intifada carries on
And buring sands drenched in blood
Will bear witness as we rise

In the valley of fire no one's sleeping anymore
Hold on to your children as the army's rolling in.
Settlers live in comfort behind walls and fighter planes
a s the refugee camps produce another martyr

As we rise to liberate our land

NO TURNING BACK
Once you know of injustice
And living in fear
You've got to stand up and make it fucking clear
That it's unacceptable
And we're not for sale
And we'll never surrender
To threats, lies or jail
We've got the right to vote ourselves into ignorance
We've got the right to apathy
Once we understand that our history is full of lies
It's up to us to open everybody's eyes
No turning back

I WON'T FORGET
Chords ring out like gunfire
And those words cut to the heart
Amongst flags and barricdes we rise
Inspired from the start

Giving voice to disillusions with
Clenched fists and open eyes
Bringing home guerrilla soldiers
To shatter all the lies

And your songs will live forever
Live forever they'll never die

As London burns and boredom grow with the USA
We won't watch the world go straight to hell
Not for another day

Rededication everytime I hear the songs come down
You'll never know what you've done for me
The knowledge I have found

I won't forget there's a war to be won
I won't forget there are songs that must be sung
I won't forget all the sacrifices made
I won't forget the debts that must be paid

WHERE
It's a crime against the people when their willingness to fight
is pushed into the swamp of dying Ghandi-esque surrender.
While the so-called vanguard brags about their fight
f or peace, democracy and other bourgeois lies they use to cloud the workers' minds.

Where are we now?
Where are you leading us?
Where are we now?

Let those who take our flag and drag it through the filth of parliament
answer their lies and anyone decieved.
Tear off their coat of red painted thin as it can be.
And as election time comes around they will grovel for a seat.

TEXAS BLOOD
Go ahead and change the word
the meaning’s still the same,
you call it terrorism we still call it war.
No moral high ground can be gained, if anything,
you’re worse off than you’d been before.

I’ll use you’re Texas blood to light my torches
the light will lead the way to you’re front door
you better hope that no-one’s home
when I come knocking
because when I leave it will all be gone.

Bottle up your blood and hide it in the basement,
You think we don’t knowwhere it’s at?
You think the people will forget about the blood
that once belonged to them,
they want it back.

REVOLUTIONARY
Revolutionary make a stand
(We're all) revolutionaries we'll do it ourselves
Fulfill the rage of ages
the fire in all our hearts
From the streets of the poisoned cities to the peasants torn apart
by voracious landlords their unrelenting greed.
Our red flag is the future because every day we bleed.
In the land of fierce corruption where murderers are kings
We'll tear down their thrones because they've stolen everything
And we'll break tradition's chains because our sisters are not slaves, but comrades in this fight
from the mountains to the grave.

SENDERO LIVES
Surround the police station-- no one gets out alive
For all the rape and killing they will not survive
Mine the roads to stop them.
E xpect no mercy here, asking none in return
our aim is fucking clear.
The U.S. cannot stop us let them come and try
Our comrades don't fear anything they're not afraid to die
This is not just Peru it's for all of humankind
Edith Lagos for inspiration for all those left behind
We know we live
We know Sendero lives

F.F.M.F.
Without your resistance
They'll break down the door
And then find a reason
The same shit as before
Unleashing their terror
They scream "send them back"
Is this the hour when we start a counter-attack?
Fucking fascist motherfucker
Your freedom is a lie
Hide your filth and hatred behind
So-called "human rights"
Fucking fascist motherfucker
Your freedom is a lie

EMPIRE IN DECLINE
Insecurity is now a way of life.
Your children feel the way children feel everywhere.
You made it come back-- it had to someday
Twin towers are the tombstones of your decay.
And now you know the truth
Everywhere around the world
The empire's in decline
And the people will prevail
When war crimes heroes run the government
When it's not enough to voice our discontent
When the shining path of revolution is lit
We'll change the world you'll see it

CPN (M)
Hope rises from the darkness of the prisons holding martyrs
In a land that gives up nothing without a righteous fight
Poor peasants burning titles in the fields where all is stolen
From those who work from birth until they can no more
Hope rises.

THE FUCKING ENEMY

1.FADED MEMORIAL
faded memorial of plastic flowers
mark the streets she used to work
never buried soon forgotten
nothing to him will you remember?

outcast in a world gone mad
intoxicated by it`s own hate
commodified but still called worthless
we`re told we all have a price

will you remember?

and she`s your sister
she`s your daughter
gone from our lives
will you remember?

2.NOTHING LEFT
lost faith in everything else
don`t tell me it`s alright
some days it doesn`t seem worth it
but we fucking carry on

and there`s nothing left
but to start again

draw blood from the healthy faces
overfed on our compliance
resist the urge to be pacified
while their poison kills the light

3.GO FUCK YOURSELF
sometimes revenge is all that i want
who the fuck do you really think you are
play with our lives get a knife to the throat
politicians disease what`s the fucking difference

and it doesn`t matter
because you`ll find out
that you fucked up again
go fuck yourself

4.WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?
the fire in the blackened sky
the heart of your country ripped apart
oppressed masses celebrate
why?why do you think?

you can`t see the decadence
you can`t even see your fucking greed
self centred racist fuck
why?why do you think?

i`ll take a fucking hostage
a fucking ceo
and burn down fucking wall street
you`ll never rise again

why?why the fuck do you think?

5.IT`S ALL GOT TO GO
built on the blood of nations denied
the right to speak or even exist
kidnapped the children to rape and abuse
all in the name of our white god

suicidal alcoholic
gifts of our holy culture
turn away and justify
but the shame carries on

it`s all got to go
revolution make the change
it`s all got to go
stop the fucking genocide

forgotten culture stolen pride
a never ending genocide

6.THE DAY AFTER
crosses on the hillside mark
where the massacres took place
blood and tears flood the land
we raise our heads and won`t forget

we carry our lives on our fingertips
from ayacucho to the himalayas
and the filthy streets of this parasite
we mourn and then start again

forgive forget never
we mourn then organize the day after

she`ll wear black for the rest of her life
lost her daughters and sons
feels she might as well die
so we vow to avenge her swollen eyes
the day after we mourn we will rise

7.WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
sold out like fools
to the lowest bidder
by our own
singing "solidarity"
they claim victory
but we feel defeat
demoralized
calling for their blood

we should have known that they`d do this
because it`s happened to us before
we should have known they are worthless
they can`t lead us anymore

let it all come down

8.ARISE AGAIN
fists in the air
arise again
drowned in blood
arise again
never defeated
arise again
we serve the people
arise again

9.RED TIDE RISING
through daily struggles
our sisters` fire
we only exist
to serve the people

even though we lose
to death and prison
we lift our hearts
history is made by us

red tide rising they can`t stop us
red tide rising now

10.THIS IS NOT A FUCKING GAME
despite all the letdowns and fucking opinions
that tell us to give up and lose our way
in this world of greed parasites and fools
sometimes this is all we have

so keep your money your rockstar assholes
reinforcing this bloodsucking system of rape
this more to us than you`ll ever know
and sometimes this is all we have

this is not a fucking game
this is all we have

11.STATE OF THE NATION
So much hate but now it's got direction
So many plans with no hope of fruition
The prevailing sense is one of hopelesness
there's nothing left but sincerity.

And I claim no flag-there's just me
State of the nation.

If you stare into the abyss the abyss stares into you
In my case it's a fucking mirror
Nothing left but a ton of useless heart
No tomorrow.
Fuck tomorrow.

So much hate and nothing else
There's just me.
That's the state of the nation.
The prevailing sense?
Hopelesness.

I claim no flag.

12.TO SERVE PROTECT AND MURDER
trembling hands lay to rest
the only light she knew
no more laughter in the hallway
prepare yourselves for war

once thought of for safety
now the fucking enemy
we cast away illusions
know which side you`re on

to serve protect and murder
serving and protecting exploitation
to serve protect and murder
fuck you until my final breath

13.WE`RE DYING
we`re dying like a patriot`s faith
when he starts asking why
absolution through a burning flag
a father`s curse a mother`s cry
we pride ourselves on treason
if something`s wrong then it`s wrong
rape theft and murder
cannot be justified

we`re dying
but not dead yet
we`re dying
and we`re coming back

ignorance is your disease

14.EVERY FUCKING NOTE
everyone who has ever felt betrayed forgotten
raising fists to rebel sounds of shattered faith
we find our places underground rising forever rising
this is our song this is our fight

we hear every word you say
we feel every fucking note you play
we are the sound of every second of discontent
we are the blood in your veins

some fall away and live with no regrets
some hit the ground and never breathe again
even if you disappear and we don`t see you anymore
through all the noise take something with you

you may grow up and out of here
you might not have learned anything
but they kill our souls with "culture" again and again
death is in their hearts but generations carry on
