I'll cut your throat with the glass from your house
Stonethrower
We won't see peace until you are cast out
Brick to teeth
Face to concrete
Are you looking at me? Or the blood that I bleed?
No peace in the streets when people like me lie dead at your feet
Your mindset is nothing but fashion
Pull the thread and it all falls apart
You walk away with blood red hands
They're branded criminal from the start
My pride, born from struggle
Your pride is hatred disguised
Complacent with your privilege
You refuse to bear witness
We are all born into sin
No purity from the skin you inhabit
Systematic suffering
Ignorance smothering
Stonethrower
I'm not your faggot, your tranny, your nigger
Stonethrower
I won't play the victim 'cause your finger's on the fucking trigger
We'll see who's running scared, when its you lined up on the wall you pig
You have never been a friend to me
I will always be your enemy

All you are is a sheep in wolves clothing
Run as hard as you can, I've got my blood behind me
You'll never wipe away the sweat, or the blood in my head
No patience and no respect
Your pride is your weakness
Your pride is your weakness
You're nothing but bark without the bite
Out of mind when you're out of my sight, bitch
You've got a debt and I've come to collect
Put respect on my name or I'm coming for your head
All you are is a sheep in wolves clothing
Run as hard as you can, I've got my blood behind me
To settle the score, I was built for war
I was born for the hunt, and you were born to be my prey you piece of shit
It's a dog eat dog world
You show too much teeth
I'll swallow you whole
You'll never bite me

Law of the Jungle
03:15

Are you painfully aware of the silence that falls around you,
And the shadows that creep up your walls?
Are you paranoid that ghosts from the past have found you,
Do you hear the whispers in the dark?
Hackles raised
Frozen in place
A chill creeps up your spine
Gossamer covering your face, the worm of dread crawling in your mind
Loss of feeling, body heavy
You've stepped into the realm of fear
I was born covered in crimson, I'll go out the same
The clock strikes the hour of violence
Black blood boils in my veins
I dream in red and blue
My body lacerated and bruised
All the pain I have felt, I'll inflict on you
Dull my senses
Numb my fingers
Distorted lenses
Torture lingers
Forgive not an enemy, waste not time
I'll show no mercy, won't turn my back to your knife
Fear and abandonment by the likes of you
Mental mutilation for a clearer view
The law of the jungle is "kill or be killed"
So step up to my face and face my rage motherfucker
Sacrifice my soul
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Shed my human skin
Just to quench my bloodlust

Drowning in Vain
03:47

What will I have if my darkness leaves?
Will I be saved or will I simply be empty?
When nothing turns out right and everybody left
I'll bide my time with greying eyes on the precipice of a jagged edge
I look the void dead in the face
The abyss exists within me
Grasping at threads the mirror breaks
There is no light down here, drowning in vain
There is no light down here, I am drowning in vain
If you just sit there and watch me die
You better look me in the goddamn, you rat bastard
I look the void dead in the face
The abyss exists within me
Grasping at threads the mirror breaks
There is no light down here, drowning in vain
Why would I try to forgive, when i can't even start to forget
Crosses I bear that hold me in shame
There is no light down here, drowning in vain
There is no light down here, I am drowning in vain

C.O.T.C.
03:41

Nothing means nothing and your words are just words
Your actions sound like thunder, that's a lesson never learned
After everything I've done I have nothing left to say
You're not stepping on my toes, you're in my fucking way
You're in my way
Leave the past in the past, cut the fat
Eyes focused on tomorrow, following the sun west
Stricken down in my path
Pulled down and pushed back
Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
Nothing to bleed
Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
I've got nothing left to bleed
I wear a mask of scar tissue
Everyday it eats into my face
Overcome my pain
Severing my chains
On balance
Off balance
I won't lose my malice
Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars
C.O.T.C. til I D I E
I still atone
Suffer my fate encased in stone
C.O.T.C. til I D I E
