Yeah we shit on your culture We desecrate your grave We're the media vultures We're the chemical slaves Climb the hill Step on the throat Ignore the ones Pushed down the slope It's the American way It's the American way Right down the line Right down the line See what we've built On your old empire It's a god damn landfill And a thousand year fire And when you see the pieces in place You'll know we'll do it again and again Again Sift through the ashes of the thousand year fire

Civil unrest Flame engulf house False progress This was always the south Beaten in the street Crushed by the shield Secret police Overseer of the field No street is safe Dogs at bay Short of breath Eyes forced shut Of life bereft Body lies in the rut The son of man Hate begotten Civil unrest Flame engulf house False progress This was always the south

Pedestals 10:20
We place them on pedestals That can't bare the weight Snakes and liars Control your fate True potential Never Realized Hopes and dreams Subsidized It's a policy Based on Fiction Invoke your masters Trust every word Cling tight to book and steel I'll cull the herd They know not what they do They know not what they do Incompetent No confidence A false sense of Accomplishment There's nothing left There's nothing left to give There's nothing left But we want it this way But we made it this way There's nothing left There's nothing left to give There's nothing But we want it this way But we made it this way Complacency Will lead us to our demise

Raze this Raze this Raze this Raze this town Ancient mound Peaks of filth Scorch the ground Return to earth

Dying Breed 03:50
You and me Are a dying breed Take a drag Suck it in Feel it course Under your skin Deviate From the norm Misery Accept as born Follow your form Even as my systems falter I still kneel at this altar We do it to feel alive But we're really closer to death Self destruction Is not a choice It's what I have to do Programmed to be born anew It's what I have to do Self destruction Is not a choice It's what I have to do Programmed to be born anew It's what I have to do Live for

You said you won't You said you'd never give in Now you're hanging from the tops of the rafters Now I join you in sin And when the air grows thin We'll watch the fire move in I tear you down with hatred Bitter resentment of my soul No matter how hard I tried to stop the lashing I burned every bridge I know This house it creaks and moans Beams break through fragile bones Foundations crack and break Eyes close beneath the lake Mortal slave Cosmic grave Pray for death No sweet release No rest in peace Pray for death No sweet release No rest in peace
