You Are The One 02:02
lyrics
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 03:07
lyrics
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
lyrics
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 02:52
lyrics
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
5.
Mother City Punx 02:35
lyrics
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
6.
Change 03:08
lyrics
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
7.
Never Back Down 03:05
lyrics
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
