Im losing sight as the sun sets on my life
Ive lost my mind, my futures looking fucking bleak
Ive been tossed aside for profits and lies
It took so long to realise
That the puppet masters who pull the strings
Are the same men that haunt my dreams
My greatest fear is that I’m the same
I will not be blamed
I am not the monster beneath their bed
They wont see my face when they lay their heads
I am not the devil that they all fear
They scream but I do not hear
I am not your fucking enemy
No matter which way you paint me
I am not your fucking enemy
I’m not a martyr and you cant stop me
I am not your fucking enemy
I’m a slave to this hypocrisy
I am not your fucking enemy
I’m just a slave to this machine
Slaves
To their machine
To hypocrisy
(I’m a slave to this machine)
Consumed by their greed
Ive been sent from my home just to lose another
Ive wasted my life just to be cannon fodder
I know these faces will never stop haunting me
And now my guilt is constantly following me
I’m not a hero or conquerer
I am not a martyr
Not a fucking saviour
I know their faces wont ever stop haunting me
I know this guilt will be the death of me
I am the monster beneath their beds
I will bear my teeth when they lay their heads
I am the evil that they all fear
They scream but I choose not to hear
I am not your fucking enemy
No longer enslaved to their greed
I am not your fucking enemy
Not a slave and you cant stop me
Not a slave to this machine
Not a slave and you can’t stop me
Not a slave to hypocrisy
Not a slave and you can’t stop me
Not a slave this regime
Not a slave and you can’t stop me

We’re all fucking lost
I'll grit my teeth as these cold howling winds blow
The world left me behind
Stranded so far from home
I don’t want to be the last one standing
It’s not what I deserve
This life is all I own
Cause I’ve made a few mistakes
That I can not make right again
Yeah
I’ve made a few mistakes
That I’m gonna take to my grave
I know we're lost
As the horizon blurs
I know we're lost
As the horizon blurs
Memories of a life once lived drift away upon the wind upon the wind
Now at last I know my fucking worth
Destined to forever wander the earth
We grit our teeth
Misery is all we know
We’ve been left abandoned
Ripped from our house and homes
We aren’t gonna just blindly follow
We have been deceived
We are all alone
Even though we’ve made a few mistakes
Can we still make it right again?
I know we’ve made a few mistakes
But do we really have take them to our graves?
I know we're lost
As the horizon blurs
I know we're lost
As the horizon blurs
Left abandoned in this cold unknown
Left abandoned so far from our homes
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Well I can’t stand the sight of this place any longer
Despite the lies that still fill our heads
The reaper always comes to collect his debt
Left abandoned in this cold unknown
Left abandoned so far from our homes
Left abandoned to the price that we pay
Left abandoned in shallow graves
We are just food for fucking worms

Its a big world
Don't get your hopes too high
They always tell you do or die
Not a second thought from birth
To what your life was really worth
You've never held your head up high
You’ve showed an ounce of pride
You live your life like no one cares
Yet you’re surprised when no ones ever there
You speak alot, but never say much
When your mouth moves we don’t give a fuck
You are gutless
You are selfish
This fucking world does not revolve around you
You’re a gutless, fucking coward
You've lost grip on reality
The shit your fucking spewing doesnt mean a thing to me
Your just a small part
Of a big big world
Its gonna chew you up and fucking spit you out
So go and point your fucking finger
Its easy to place the blame on anyone but you
You never once even let the thought linger
That you’re a just another failure too
If you really want to place the blame
Just take a look in the mirror
Go and hang your fucking head in shame
Maybe on your own you’ll learn to see clearer
Life was never gonna be a walk in the park
You have to strive if you want to make a mark
And while sit here and continue to wallow and wail
Your making sure your endeavours will always fail
You've lost grip on reality
The shit your fucking spewing doesnt mean a thing to me
Your just a small part
Of a big big world
Its gonna chew you up and fucking spit you out

Open your fucking eyes
We are pawns being fed to wolves in disguise
We are all fucking expendable by design
Out of sight and out of fucking mind
Just disposable shell of humankind
Some more meat for the grinder
Our bones a feast for the crows
I can see the circling vultures
Even while we're still in our death throes
We're an afterthought
We’re pushed out of sight
They kick us when we’re down, afraid that we might fight
I know I’m not the only one dying for light
Your corruption will not survive the night
Why do we keep on making the same mistakes
We're running in circles like rats in a race
Always repeating the same day
Trying to escape this stalemate
We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny
Eating the fruit of a poisoned tree
We're helpless and hopeless
Trying to escape this stalemate
I refuse to become a statistic
Even though ignorance is bliss
We’ve become so fucking sadistic
How do we still not see this?
We’ve been stripped bare of our liberty
Paying the price for our heresy
Devour the offerings of a poisoned tree
We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny
We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny
Their fucking lies laid bare for the world to see
We’ll say our final prayers
Hear our desperate cries
Our minds clouded by fear
The sun will never rise
The bonds that we bear will be our demise
In this moment our last hope dies
Why do we keep on making the same mistakes
We're running in circles like rats in a race
Always repeating the same day
Trying to escape this stalemate
We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny
Eating the fruit of a poisoned tree
We're helpless and hopeless
Trying to escape this stalemate

So bow your head
Say a prayer and then confess again
Your pleas ignored by a god that was never there
These hollow words unconsecrated
Their lies fill your thoughts
Deaths empty
You'll meet no maker when your time is up
So where's your god when all your friends and family decease
What worth’s a heaven that refutes a right to self release
You pretend to find some comfort in the lies they preach
But you will never find a fucking shred of inner peace
We are all alone
Singing worship to an empty throne
We are all alone
God isn’t here
We are on our own
So bow your head
Say a prayer and then confess again
Your pleas ignored by a god that was never there
Crawl on your hands and knees
See how alone you'll be
Death’s empty
What made you think we were worth saving
Blinded by faith in a faceless one
When we all rot in the long run
As above so below, thy will be done
False saviours will save no one
Fuck
We are all alone
Singing worship to an empty throne
False saviours will save no one
I think it’s time we wake up
To all that we have made up
False saviours will save no one
So bow your head
Say a prayer and then confess again
The serpent lingers in the house of god
The shepherds left his flock
The wolves are at the gate
We are all alone
Singing worship to an empty throne
We are all alone
God isn't here and you're on your own
We are all alone
Singing worship to an empty throne
We are all alone
God isn't here and you're on your own
We are all alone

At first I wasn't so sure about getting this one, it was part of a long list of music I had to listen to, and I knew that at the time I liked it and kept it in my list to buy for a reason but couldn't remember why, but I do remember now, this is way too intense to be forgotten,you made a new fan to this day and will follow you closely from now on!
