Like a king, you ascended the throne
Nobody wanted you,
you were left all alone
Seizing all this power,
nobody seemed to care
Your screams grew louder,
no one was aware
The silence made you stronger,
imprisoning our lives
You send us all to slaughter,
we paid the highest price
We’ll come back to destroy
you, to murder your greed
We don’t fear your rage and anger,
we will make sure that you bleed
bridge:
All those accusations
Only for your liberation
All those manipulations
Just to please your creations
Coming to the realization
You’ll never fight for this nation
Spreading all this false information
Just to feed your domination
Burn!
chorus:
Burn in hell
Cut yourself
Burn in hell
Cut yourself
Like a coward,
you stood behind the wall
Hiding behind those faces,
so no one sees you fall
Not claiming your defeat,
pretending it isn’t over
Your destruction is complete,
yet you try to regain composure
This is your demise,
we no longer take the blame
These are all your lies,
we don’t want to feel ashamed
Like a fucking king,
you ascended upon the throne
Like a fucking coward,
you will die all alone
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
This is the end for me
It’s time to set us free
We are done crying for you
We’ll no longer die for you
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus

The Age of the Pariah
04:41
|
|||
|
Not seeing yourself
in your own true light
Demonstrating and attacking the world
Eager to start a war, eager to ignite
bridge:
This is the age of
racism and plagiarism
This is the world of
only haters and debaters
Where everybody is right
and we are wrong
In a darkened world
where we don’t belong
This is the age of
sexism and being imprisoned
This is the world of
creators and dictators
chorus:
You are an outcast
A true pariah
Generations before
have done you wrong
Failing to see what they have achieved
Demonstrating at the crack of dawn
Not willing to see
that you are misconceived
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
The boy who cried wolf
is left all alone
The man who really died,
had always been unknown
The boy who cried wolf
remained unknown
The man who really died,
he died all alone
You are an outcast
You are a messiah
Your persecution will not last
In the age of the pariah

Walk the Plank
05:29
|

|
In a land
Where thieves and liars rule
Feeling banned
Where we are all but fools
No regrets
We accept these terms
Stating the facts
Only to confirm
bridge:
Washing their hands
In the blood of the innocent
Trying desperately to cleanse
The world of the imminent
They say walk the plank
Head held high, embrace your death
While the sharks attack the flank
Close your eyes…
chorus:
Lie to my face
Walk away
No more disgrace
Don’t delay
Close those gates
Just betray
Set it all ablaze
Let it decay
Sails set high
Ready to conquer all
We cannot abide
This will be your downfall
I take a stance
Crown myself as your new leader
You don’t stand a chance
You’re outnumbered and weaker
Repeat bridge & chorus
Let’s attack that ship and
loot the treasure
Hoist the flag
Take no prisoners,
leave them all for dead
Hoist the flag
Take command, steer into the flank
Hoist the flag
Capture the captain,
tie him up and make him
walk the plank
Repeat bridge
Walk the plank (4x)
Repeat bridge
Walk the plank
into the sea of death (3x)

Storm en Drift
03:59

Een weeffout, een rafelrand
Onooglijk aan de buitenkant
Een walm van jaren achterstand
Blijkt schuilkerk voor haan en rat,
Voor volgers van het linker pad
De dolers in de binnenstad
bridge:
Wie door rendement misleid,
de waarde van muziek niet ziet
Liever voor kantoorpand pleit,
begrijpt de zin van ’t leven niet
Fuck die yuppenfantasie,
vergeet die gladde utopie
maak liever plaats
voor de creatieve maakplaats,
rauw en tegendraads
chorus:
Een nieuwe stem in het tumult
Van storm en drift vervuld
Wij trekken ons eigen plan
Bloed kruipt waar ‘t niet gaan kan
Een vrijplaats voor de fantasten,
Hemelbestormers,
wereldhervormers,
dromers
en dat soort rare kwasten
Die zich warmen aan scheppingskracht
aan speel, probeer, breek en creëer
afwijkend en zomaar zelf bedacht
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus

Facts and Figures
03:28
|

|
Once there were
these clear blue skies
Not so many years ago
Now there are just blatant lies
To keep us in control
An invisible enemy freed
Incredibly deadly but no one can see
It will infect us all for free
The price we pay
is death guaranteed
bridge:
Facts and figures
are nothing but lies
We are the ones,
paying the highest price
Figures and facts,
they’ll be your demise
A virus for one and all to die
chorus:
Facts and figures
Nothing but lies
Figures and facts
We die
In a world of pure division
Entangle the strings of your puppets
Where we fight
the wrong conviction
It’s a war and we’re the target
This invisible enemy now free
Incredibly deadly but no one can see
It infects us all for free
The price we paid
is death guaranteed
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Alternative facts
are nothing but lies
We are the ones,
paying the highest price
Alternative facts,
they’ll be your demise
A virus for one and all to die

Payback Is a Bitch
05:24
|
|||
|
Promises that you can’t keep
They sound great, but are so cheap
You had us fooled, all this time
Made us believe in your paradigm
A world of fame, of so much glory
We’ll have it all, that was your story
We trusted you, we had your back
Until you failed, until you cracked
All this time, this money invested
While you kept a hidden agenda
We were the pawns in your stupid game
Made us believe that you were so sane
Promises that you couldn’t keep
They seemed great, but were so cheap
You had us fooled, all this time
Made us believe in your paradigm
bridge:
We will not be your slave
You’ve finally dug your own grave
chorus:
Don’t you hate
That this is your fate
This is not another glitch
Payback is a bitch
To live a lie will never uphold
The true story must be told
You cannot hide, we will find you
We’ll make you pay,
our vengeance will blind you
How the tables have turned
The truth revealed, the bridges burned
We take control, you’ve been discarded
Accept your fate, you will be aborted
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
I see your pain
I will break away
I cannot bear to witness
all that’s inhumane
You feel so strong
You’ll never belong
I see you’re crazy
that you truly are insane
We broke away
We survived your game
How do you feel
now that you have been cast aside
I’ll make you ache
Will not accept this fate
I will stand tall,
I’ll walk this earth with all my pride
