Difference causing pain Changing minds all in vain Tempered lies to an end All is well we pretend To have, to hold Fraud future behold For better, for worse Your presence a curse Death of our life Sub-conscience brings disdain Time runs out to feel the same We all bleed red, a truth to see Clashing heads brings apathy To have, to hold Fraud future behold For better, for worse Your presence a curse Death of our drained life Lies, my life Surprise, my strife Now you inject your fear Now you prey on our fears Information weaponized Demonize the other side True colours are shining bright My demise is in your sight To have, to hold Fraud future behold For better, for worse Your presence a curse Death of our life Into the Tribal Junction
2.	No Master, No Gods 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Fear flows into the night Fear reigns in the absence of light Constant lies feed into denial A forfeit life is now on trial Live in hate, die in hate I bow to no masters I bow to no gods Pain grows and targets a mark Pain designed to tear you apart Crushing force delivers the blow A life stripped bare with nothing to show Live in hate, die in hate I bow to no masters I bow to no gods I bow to no masters I bow to no gods Prey to no one Bow never more Prey to no one I bow never more, never more Suffer now into the storm Suffer somehow has become the norm You defy, bringing the fight Bring denial into the light Live in hate, die in hate I bow to no masters I bow to no gods

Running, breathing, exhaling only fear Beating, pounding, blurred vision through the tears Panic and chaos ensues from the marks It’s the life we planned for them, their world goes dark They scatter from the sound As the children hit the ground Fear keeps their heads down Code red lockdown Boom, this is where we live All hail guns before kids Boom, this is where we live All hail guns before kids Loading, aiming, come to victimize Firing, maiming, all to terrorize Inflicting vengeance against an easy prey You all laughed at me and now, you all must pay They scatter from the sound As the children hit the ground Fear keeps their heads down Code red lockdown Boom, this is where we live All hail guns before kids Boom, this is where we live All hail guns before kids All heads down Code red lockdown Taking, life without a second thought Deprived of feeling, no fear of getting caught Gunning for any sons or daughters The reaper has come. Infamy through slaughter They scatter from the sound As the children hit the ground Fear keeps their heads down Code red lockdown Boom, this is where we live All hail guns before kids Boom, this is where we live All hail guns before kids Guns before kids

Move your ass out the way This is where I am Move your ass out the way This is where I need to be L.E.F.T. L.A.N.E. Forget where you are Understand the rule Confined, you’re so bizarre Knowing you, such the fool Constant blocking, always in the way Boxed in, demented Breeding frustration all through the day Your idiocy cemented Practice feeling what the others feel All said in vain Common space is the space you steal Proximity my bane Move your ass out the way This is where I am Move your ass out the way This is where I need to be L.E.F.T. L.A.N.E. Forged in where you are Unlimited selfish greed Concede I can’t go far Knowing you’re half my speed Insane thinking it’s my prison cell Burning up my brain Walled stupidity, it’s my living hell Which of us to blame? Craving a world of paths that seem so clear Welcome to this fray Self-centred and clueless or living in fear Dead inside to this day Move your ass out the way This is where I am Move your ass out the way This is where I need to be L.E.F.T. L.A.N.E. Fuck! I can’t believe this is my life No blockades to my only life Move your ass out the way This is where I am Move your ass out the way This is where I need to be L.E.F.T. L.A.N.E. Left lane, it’s for me Move your ass out the way Left lane, can’t you see You’re nothing more than a Left lane fuck!

A battle for the ears all throughout the years Constant struggle for success Dick Clark to Alan Freed, how they spun for greed Seduced you for your pound of flesh Pay me, sway me Work yourselves to skin and bone My know how, your show vow Incentives have left you weak, alone Showcase a starlit space Highlights the fact you’ve become everything you hate Eat your own, turn the page, rip flesh from bone No disgrace, it’s a no go zone, mark my place Serpent eats its tail You eat your own You were selected to be rejected The art you make is not your own Your new exposure brings grave disclosure The ink dries as you’ve sold your soul Trademark, stolen art Work yourselves to skin and bone My take, your fate Inexplicably tied to my own Finance, my own stance Take it all, winners call, from an id that is as cold as stone Eat your own, turn the page, rip flesh from bone No disgrace, it’s a no go zone, mark my place Serpent eats its tail Eat your own The serpent eats its tail Eat your own The serpent eats its tail Future projected, snakes undetected Hands in your pocket are the norm A feeding frenzy, no system for me Try to weather unwieldy storm Pay me, sway me Work yourselves to skin and bone My know how, your show vow Incentives have left you weak, alone Showcase a starlit space Highlights the fact you’ve become everything you hate Eat your own, turn the page, rip flesh from bone No disgrace, it’s a no go zone, mark my place Serpent eats its tail, all alone Eat your own, turn the page, rip flesh from bone No disgrace, it’s a no go zone, mark my place Serpent eats its tail You eat your own

Steam rise, from the swamp ash up into the blackened skies Flames they burn, next victim waits his turn Now emerge, unsightly demon surge From dark water comes demon’s daughter There she lies, a serpent’s breath Washes over you like cold death, like cold death Wings spread wide, they block the light Blinding you, there is no light, no light Pain finds the empath to betray and redefine Dragging all the skulls, victims writhe in her cull Now they cry, describe the crimes The betrayed mourn the death of time There she lies, a serpent’s breath Washes over you like cold death, like cold death Wings spread wide, they block the light Blinding you, there is no light, no light And now her evil ways have come for us, the best of us To redefine the truth for all of us, the succubus Her devil ways will surely come for us, defining us The thin veil designed to fool the best of us, the succubus And now you raise your shield, defend Came so close, almost destroyed Truth has now become your only friend Destroys the mask that would have ended you Now no longer can you pretend Light of truth now shines upon you, shines upon you

An empty vessel, an evilness to hide A cold deception, completely dead inside False face, false friends, leads you to an end Torment, a slow drip, her destiny descends Now you feel you’ve lost your way Now you long a brighter day It’s concealed, holds her prey No change for her till her dying day Tradimento, Traditrice, you betray Tradimento, Traditrice, you betray, you betray A life fulfilled through deceit and lies The demon’s lust wrapped in full disguise Nothing more than a means to an end To drain life’s blood of the unsuspecting man Now you fear you’ve lost your way Now you long a brighter day It’s concealed, holds her prey No hope for her till her dying day Tradimento, Traditrice, you betray Tradimento, Traditrice, you betray, you betray Tradimento, Tradimento Tradimento, Traditrice, you betray Tradimento, Traditrice, you betray, you betray
