Lights 02:48
I see the lights in the sky. I wish I could call them my home. Wish I could follow the stars. And that I may call them my own. But I am but a child. But I am but a child. I am but a stupid child. Yes, I am but a child. I look to the Moon and the Sun. I watch as the two become one. They show and they remind me that my new life has begun Help me. Help me. Help me. Help. Save me. Save me. Save me. Please. I see them march overhead With the shadow casting down. I see them point, I feel the dread as they fire every round.

Toy Soldiers 02:56
Verse 1: See the toy soldiers march down the street. Out the window the enemy that they will meet as they beat and rape, people meet that fate, But death is all you'll see against the elite. They shoot, they maim. Hear screams of pain. Blood dyes the pitter-patter of falling rain. Bombs and shells go off like hell. For each one, another body found the very next day Bridge: Hide away, you need to hide away Hide away, you need to hide away Hide away, you need to hide away! Hide away or you could be shot dead today. Verse 2: A massacre, you blasted her. You shot with your gun. As a riot spurred, you shot faster. They scream as they run. I looked outside, my eyes so wide as I watched the scene. Wails and cries further disguised this horrible dream. Their screams fill this nightmare. I'd fare well in this stress. I guess I thought until I'm shot I'll help fix this mess. I confess if I was never led away from that door, I'd be just another body piled up on the floor. Bridge: Hide away, you need to hide away Hide away, you need to hide away Hide away, you need to hide away! Hide away or you could be shot dead today.

Mother 05:03
Intro: One light, a lantern in our darkened home. The soot and the ashes blacken the windows. The clock strikes the hour as the light starts to fade. As we lose the warmth that we've so longly craved. Hook 1: Don't hide from us! We know you're in there! Don't hide from us! We know you're in there! Verse 1: Come on out here! Or we'll shoot you down. Knock your skulls in. Burn down your house. You can't hide from us. Take it now! Take it now! Hook 2: You're a slave now! A slave to the king! You're a slave now! A slave to the king! Verse 2: We'll take you now. Take this pain. Take this knife. Sleep in the rain. Mine our coal. Keep us warm. Stay in the cold. Drown in the storm. Hook 2: You're a slave now! A slave to the king! You're a slave now! A slave to the king! Verse 3: Come to the gallows. Watch them squirm. As a rope is tied tight and firm. Watch your mother take the stage. Stand up high, girl. Die! You disgrace! Outro: I'll kill all of you, I swear to fucking God I'll kill you all! I'll murder and kill your fucking king myself! I'll destroy everything you've ever loved! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll murder you! I'll kill you! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die...

As the wind blows. As the wind blows and the rain pours. As the wind blows and the rain pours we will fight. As the wind blows and the rain pours we will fight and we will win. We'll kill the king. We'll kill the king and his men. We'll kill the king and his men and we'll start anew. We'll ill the king and his men and we'll start anew. I will lead you. I will love you. As if you are my own kin... As the rain pours we cry for war. We smash the gates and storm the shore. They serve him so kill them. Now Now Take no prisoners, fight their evil. Show no mercy, for they are no people. Avenge your old life now. Now. I'm going inside, never lied, promised! He can never hide. he's a dead man. My hand'll be soaked in his blood as I make true on my vow that I'll take revenge on this tyrant! This man dies tonight, my line of sight pointed directly at him. His entire nation couldn't hold me back from what I must do. When his blood stains my hands I'll become a new man. Complete. Yet I must compete to prevent this tyranny. The fear in me it sees that I must do it alone. Shoot them down! Every single one of them! Except for him. He's mine, mine... Break down the walls and doors. Shoot down their sentries. Kill anyone who gets in your way. It's for a greater cause. Now do it! Shoot his guards! Break down his door! I know you're in here! You can't hide forever you damned tyrant! You'll have to come out eventually. You have no more guards. Give up. You can't win. Come out and meet your fate! Meet your fate you damned tyrant! Your reign has ended! Now come forth. Come forth like a man should! Yes! Come forth like a man should. Good.

Lead me away from this cold dead star that has torn me apart. facing waves upon waves of opportunity for unity. for you and me. We will guide our way ahead from the cold dead heads on the ground with dark hair and light skin bleeding red. I've found a solution, and evolution is near. And it will have grew. In red, white and black. For their death was true So lead me back to the cold dead star that had torn me apart. And make it my home where we may roam in peace without fear of death or bloodshed. I'll hear what's said inside and out. There will be no hurt. No pain. Just the rain which may fall on our heads as we shout for our freedom, no longer disturbed. We will free them as well though the blast may be heard. Though this future isn't far, let us unite as one, under not the sun, but under the wave of the cold, dead star

War 07:31
We want land. We want wealth. Take it all. For ourselves. Come to them. Guns and swords. Kill them all. Take what's yours. Kill them all. Slit their throats. Shoot them down. Stain their coats. Rivers run crimson red. Mountains stacked with their dead. Kill their men. Rape their women. Enslave all of their children. Lock them in. Spread disease 'till they're seen dead in the streets. Rape, kill, steal, taste, blood red bricks, stains, watch, fight, maim, sight dark, see no light life fades from eyes as their throat pours. Streams of red form in storms of cries. Lies I don't tell. Death I know well. Heads crowd the streets. Steal their gold shells. Guns that blast loud shoot to the crowd. Beat them, loot them. Make your love proud. Siege their land. Use their hands. Force the down. Take their heads. String them up with your rope. In the air they will float. Feel their death. Sink it in. Purge them of every sin. Thousand cuts rape their skin. Thousand knivews deep within. Tears of blood. Evil eyes. Every last one shall die. Guillotines. Noose of rope. Guns that blast. Billow smoke. Make them know hope is gone, as away their life is drawn. Rape, kill, steal, taste, blood red bricks, stains, watch, fight, maim, sight dark, see no light life fades from eyes as their throat pours. Streams of red form in storms of cries. Lies I don't tell. Death I know well. Heads crowd the streets. Steal their gold shells. Guns that blast loud shoot to the crowd. Beat them, loot them. Make your love proud. Tie them up. Chain them down. Make them toil in the fields they'll drown. We want land. We want wealth. Take it all. For ourselves. Come to them. Guns and swords. Kill them all. Take what's yours. Kill them all. Slit their throats. Shoot them down. Stain their coats. Rivers run crimson red. Mountains stacked with their dead. Kill their men. Rape their women. Enslave all of their children. Lock them in. Spread disease 'till they're seen dead in the streets. Rape, kill, steal, taste, blood red bricks, stains, watch, fight, maim, sight dark, see no light life fades from eyes as their throat pours. Streams of red form in storms of cries. Lies I don't tell. Death I know well. Heads crowd the streets. Steal their gold shells. Guns that blast loud shoot to the crowd. Beat them, loot them. Make your love proud.

Line them up at the wall Shoot at them 'till they fall Make them stand on a stage Throw your rocks make them pay Push them all in a room They will die oh so soon Make them starve Eat their kin Make them howl in their sin Lock them up in a cell Take their air They'll see Hell Take them all Brand their face Show them all our burning hate No more food No more warmth Tonight Hell opens its doors.

Betrayal 02:48
Why must they all hate me when I'm the one who stayed. I've lost more than they've ever had. I know what it's like to be in their place. They're disgraced, the whole lot, I can see them now. With their bombs and their fire scattered through the crowd. We can fight them tonight as long as the sky is up in clouds The smoke I see on the ground. The shots dispersed through the crowd. I wish to stay inside today for the hell I hear all around. I hear the door crack. I hear the gun bolt clack. I hear my steps on the stairs as I hide away down there. Hide me. Hide me. Hide me. Hide me.

Don't let them find me. I am the true king. I am the leader of this land. I am the lover of the people. They betrayed me. They betrayed me! What are they gonna do? Select a new ruler? I'm gonna die here. I'm gonna die here! They're gonna take me. They're gonna make a bloody show out of my foolish body. They're savages! Every last one! They deserve to die! I wish they were all dead! The fucking animals! They're upstairs. I can hear them. They don't know where you are. But they won't leave until they find you. What do I do? What the fuck should I do?! They killed everyone. I won't let them make a mockery of me. I won't let them! I won't give them the fucking satisfaction. No, this is all there is left. This is all there is. Goodbye, you miserable stain of a country. I hope you animals burn in Hell!
