“The Feeling’s Gone” Here it comes again, always on my mind Answers haven’t come with time, I’m losing myself Here it comes again, always on my mind Have I crossed too many lines? Am I beyond help? Used to think I couldn’t see Oh, how I’d missed the point And lost what I was fighting for But now I know what needs to be done Ask and ye shall receive, if you can believe But I’ve got something more in store for you On my mind? No I’ve been spent Oh, the feeling’s gone Thinking you have the answers When I can’t trust a thing anymore Hatred replaces the pain Feel my silent war On my (mind…) Thinking you have the answers When I can’t trust a thing anymore Hatred replaces the pain I can’t feel anymore On my mind? No I've been spent I’ve seen you’re just the same I’ve felt pain too long, the feeling’s gone Time, I can only hope that time can take me home Don’t try to read my mind Don’t try to see what’s inside I’ll never let you in again, no I’ve got to teach you, take you down Inside held back too long Something dangerous is wrong You’ll know how it feels I’ll break you in pieces Like you did to me

“Taste Your Own Death” Lyrics: I.K. Steele Killing yourself wasn’t enough So now you’ve pushed my streets You made a big scene, flashing your bucks Preying on the weak We’ll make an example of you The crew will break your neck Eye for an eye, justice at its best You stepped on my ground, no turning back Eye for an eye, feel it drain you of breath Taste your own death, feel there’s no regrets With bat in hand and hate in our eyes We slowly scan the streets Searching for the scum you’ve perverted Praying for the weak I don’t care, I don’t want to know What you do to yourself is fine But you’ve crossed my boundaries And now you’ve crossed the line As you tighten the rope around your neck You encourage the ignorant with your last breath Take out one dealer, another steps in But I’ll continue my war, my war on sin

“When Faced With Guilt” Sin after sin, day after day Watching your life melt away More, more in your veins Drink, it’s all the same Now I’ve got you down You’re easy prey Can you face me? I am all that you need I’ll tear you apart Laugh, then watch you bleed Sin after sin, day after day Watching your life slip away More, more in your veins Drink, it’s all the same Now I’ve got you down You’re easy prey If you knock me down I’ll get back up and tear you apart I’m fire, can you deal with it? Oh your life is less than shit Knock me down I’ll get back up Then I will tear you apart I am justice Plead to me Bleed on me Let me taste your blood Give me all that you’ve got Knock me down I’ll get back up Then I will tear you apart
4.
“May The Shadows Catch Me” Living in the shadows, hiding in the dark Alone since my quest began I’ve lost something deep in my heart And to get it back it’ll take all I’ve got Understand that I don’t hate you Understand I’m just trying to get through Understand why I’m being so "righteous" Understand that’s what it takes to fight this If I fall, catch me. Will you catch me? This misery deep inside of me Now exposed for all of you to see Cause sometimes I lack the strength Sometimes I’m not as hard as I think Why bother living when you’re already dead? I’m begging you please… How can I know that I can trust you? How can I be sure that you’ll always come through?

"One On One (Demon Bear Magik)" It's sick and it's wrong and with any caring person it doesn't belong And it's blood on your hands every time lives are bought and sold in a can One On One - Look me in the eye, tell me it's right A bloody taste born from so much pain With every bite you take it's more hate that I gain Listen to your conscience look me in the eye Listen to your conscience 'cause it won't lie One life for you yet thousands die? When I find you you're next in line Now you've messed with Hardball And you too will die!

“Brutality MCMXC/Creature Of Lust” Fight to survive this world of shit This world of hate that beckons me in Tightened ropes that my spirit can’t slip Fearing an end, but nothing begins Filled with woe and I’m filled with hate Fight fire with fire just to escape Trust what they’ve said, "You live and you learn” ‘Cause cross me again and trust me, you’ll burn Filled with woe and I’m filled with hate I’ll fake a smile just to escape Fight to survive, fight to win Fight to escape this world I’m in I’ve got a nose to bust It’s yours, creature of lust The law may have set you free But now you’ll have to face me Now I can hear the screams Crying out for help in vain Now there’s nothing you can do You thought you’d won But now you lose Causing pain all too real Tell me how’s it feel? Do you think of women as your toys? Something there for you to enjoy? End this pain, end this pain I won’t let it happen again End this pain, end this pain I won’t let it go in vain

“By Any Means Necessary” Extremist, poisoned mind, racist scum There’s a war in the streets and it’s only just begun You homophobic redneck trash We’ll take you out from the first to the last You’re a small step-up from the pick-up truck Ripped off real skins, boneheads you suck Your lives are worthless, now we’re ruthless Any means necessary Who are you to tell me what’s right? You can’t save your own life Confrontation turns into a fight My fist soon reaches for a knife Alcohol’s not a drug? It’s ok to drink? Put that down bonehead, I’ll tell you how to think Now you’re a drunk and racist piece of trash So you’ll never survive our counterattack We know we can’t eliminate hate We’re just gonna stop you before it’s too late

"Bloodsoaked Mouths" Conditioned righteous selfish minds Cause compassion to quickly disappear Mankind's self-proclaimed "leadership" binds Transgressions of nature appear No need to worry cause I'm not like you I won't spend my life on my knees You can't stop me from running you through When you kill for humanity Maybe some disciplined humility? You can't always get what you want Whether slaughtering an animal Or ignoring a pregnancy The pain of the past is a loaded gun Now I won't turn my back, man You know what it's about Your failure to take responsibility Killing innocents for yourself I'm not impressed by your rationalizations Just shut your blood-soaked mouth I will make you see the truth And I will be "extreme" I will make you see the truth I won't tell you any lies Rip the veil from your eyes
10.
“A Sickness In Southport” There’s a fight that I’ll win But let me get a few things straight Just before we begin There was a time when I said, “You and I are equal, let’s all just be friends” But you slagged my ideals With a total disregard for the way others feel Now it’s time you pay up Paid the price for what you’ve done The damage is done Pushed me around too long Thought it was just for fun You’d better watch your back Time’s up for you, payback There’s a hate built inside I’ll carry it with me till the day I die It’s not a hatred for you It’s your life I despise You’ll do anything to fit in Even if it’s lies There’s no love, no benefit But you don’t even care Cause you’re such a stupid dick I offered my hand and you turned away Now it’s time to make you pay Time is up for you Now I will payback Now I will pay you back

"One On One (Thousands Die)" It's sick and it's wrong and with any caring person it doesn't belong And it's blood on your hands every time lives are bought and sold in a can One On One - Look me in the eye, tell me it's right A bloody taste born from so much pain With every bite you take it's more hate that I gain Listen to your conscience look me in the eye Listen to your conscience 'cause it won't lie One life for you yet thousands die? When I find you you're next in line One day the slaughterhouses will close their doors forever Now you're playing Hardball And you too will die!
12.
"To Suffer The Oppressor" Ignorant brains drenched in filth Cheap thieving excuses to cover their guilt A joke or a smile covers death Conditioned to eat an animal's milk or its flesh Land wasted on drugs while the people starve Slaughterhouses and a mother Earth that's scarred You're killing more than yourself and your pain's just begun I'm not afraid of what's right I'll take any extreme for the sake of all life With the world headed straight for the end You say that you care but how much time do you spend? I'll pick up a gun when the war has begun Not afraid of the risks, fighting one on one Peaceful action has failed It's now or never, open casket or nailed Alcohol's not a drug or so we're programmed to think Oppressors of the innocent have taken us to the brink Well I can see the end and I just can't stand back When they come for me I'll be braced for attack Don't tell me it's too late Revolution is calling and they'll have no escape Don't tell me it's too late Or suffer the oppressors' fate!
