I case this smoky room
I peddle hope unto the doomed
I know what you need
I know you wanna be freed
I am the answer to your prayers
The end to your despair
I’ve got the moves to win this dance
I am your second chance
Now all you have to do
Is call my name and accept the truth
I am the key to unlock your mind so let me guide you to the light
Now you’re a god
You’ve got the keys to the master locks
See my vision through your eyes
And let’s ride into the light
Aint nobody stopping you baby, you are the one
Aint nobody stopping you baby, not until I’m done
Bright white light running through your head
Guiding you on your way
Heart rate up working overtime
Feel the power in your veins
Yeah you’re the one
It’s plain to see
That there aint nobody stopping you
Until I bring you to your knees
Aint nobody stopping you baby, you are the one
Aint nobody stopping you baby, not until I’m done

State of The Nation

I’ll say a prayer for everyone involved
I never knew that our world would be dissolved
This was our home, a place of peace
Now it’s all just ashes and debris
We try so hard yet we always fail
We always end up in service or in jail
We never wanted all your hate
But now you’ve left us with no other way
I see the sky lighting up
I see our world crashing down
All that we wanted was a home
Now all we have is dying out
We live a life full of lies
All around us everyone is dying
You have your talks of reconciling guilt
But there’s no escaping what you’ve built
We struggle on to find our way
But you break us down everyday
How are we ever to advance
When every day is the same old dance
I see the sky lighting up
I see our world crashing down
All that we wanted was a home
Now all we have is dying out
This is the state of the nation

Positive State of Mind
02:05

Out in the city, out in the streets, we live and we die fighting for our needs
You gotta push back, gotta stand your ground, or dead in the gutter that’s where you’ll be found
Everybody’s lookin to rise above the rest. But nobody thinks about what it takes
Steppin on your brother to pass the next test. Killing off each other just to be the best
We gotta take a stand
Gotta help our fellow man
We gotta stick together
Gotta work to make things better
We don’t want your hate we don’t want your lies
What we all need is a positive state of mind
We don’t want a fate where everybody dies
What we need is a positive state of mind
We run into battle, we follow like sheep. We all die for nothing while the nobles sleep
All that remains of our legacy is an empire built on the blood of the weak
Everyone’s a killer, everyone’s a thief. Its take take take, no one ever gives
Nobody cares, nobody thinks. Everybody watches while the vessel sinks
We gotta take a stand
Gotta help our fellow man
We gotta stick together
Gotta work to make things better

Dragon's Blood

Heading out tonight, going down to the punk rock show
Geared up for mayhem, all systems are a go
The crews all together, made our way up to the front
But this aint a party til we spill the dragons blood
Whoa oh oh! We’re going out in a blaze of glory
Whoa oh oh! The battlefield is where we will lay our bones
Whoa oh oh! We put our faith in the dragon’s mercy
Whoa oh oh! Valhalla, we are coming home
Tonight’s breeding chaos. In the pit its all-out war
Crowds in a frenzy, and they’re calling out for more
Everybody’s craving, yeah they’re hungry for some gore
Everybody’s waiting til we spill the dragons blood

Mother City Punx

Everybody’s talking, everybody’s got something to say
Everybody’s walking around, noses in the air
They think they fucking know us
They think we fucking care
Talk is cheap man it’s for the weak
We aint listening anyway
This is me, this is you, this is us, this is our crew
All for one, one for all, til the death this is our call
There’s a chip on all their shoulders, they think they’re fucking saints
Judges passing judgement, but we won’t take the bait
‘Cause we know who we are
We all know that we’ve come far
We’ve done some wrong, we’ve done some right
We are all we have tonight
This is me, this is you, this is us, this is our crew
All for one, one for all, til the death this is our call
This is me, this is you, this is us, this is our crew
This is me, this is you, this is us, mother city punx
This is me, this is you, this is us, this is our crew
All for one, one for all, til the death this is our call

Change
03:08
|
|

Look at our struggles, look at our pain
Look at the heartache we face everyday
Morals declining, people insane
Things are regressing in every way
Things can’t go on this way things need to change
At this rate were bringing the ending of days
We’ve got to do something before it’s too late
Or its death and destruction at the end
Governments will fall, all will end in war
Evolutions failed, we cannot be saved
Death will come for all, hell awaits the world
We have got to change, there’s no other way
Bottles and bags were where I laid my head
Shrouded in misery everyday
Patiently waiting for something to save me
But there was no light at the tunnels end
Run to your saviour run to your faith
You’ll be running forever ‘cause there’s no escape
The answer is buried deep in your head
The only way forward is change

Never Back Down
03:05

Easily we are lead astray by society
Carelessly we keep losing sight of priorities
We spend our days following blindly seeking praise
But there’s just no way that I can carry on being a slave
Gotta stand strong never back down
Hold fast, stay true, live free no matter what you do
Never give in to anyone. Never back down, never back down
The enemy is circling us repeatedly
Patiently waiting for the day we grow weak
We won’t let go of who we are and what we stand for
Well give our all. Fight to the death for what we love
Gotta stand strong never back down
