1. VOICE OF THE DAMNED
We come from every corner of the Earth in all ages, shapes, colors, and creeds.
Born into a world we didn't understand, we found a place in the underground that binds us all as one.
When all I see is sickness and all I see is pain.
We never had a chance in this fucking world.
We are the lost, the damned, the shamed.
Broken homes, lost souls.
Abandoned hopes, all time lows, and I know you all feel the same.
We are the lost, the damned the shamed.
We are the lost, the damned, the shamed.
In this world that has nothing for me.
On the outside is where I stay.
Outside, against the grain.
We are the lost, the damned the shamed.
Deny your rules, deny your ways.
Deny your truths, against the grain.
We are the lost, the damned the shamed.
We walk arm and arm; the truth's our shield.
In these days we can't relate.
We found our place beneath your world.
We always go against the grain.
Were the damaged, forgotten, disposed of.
All the filth, all the waste.
We found our place beneath your world.
We always go against the grain.
We are the lost, the damned, we are the shamed.
We found our place beneath your world.
We always go against the grain.
2. RELENTLESS THROUGH AND THROUGH
Living an aimless life with a chip on your shoulder and no respect for anything is so easy in the senseless age I don't to live my life that way anymore. I've got to believe there is something more for me.
Strike that hare from inside of you.
Hard tested, hard tempered.
Aimless aggression boiling over.
Relentless through and through.
Believe in nothing, trust no one.
Man, I've been there too.
Believe in nothing, trust no one.
Strike that hate from inside you.
The cycle's left its mark on you..
Force fed malice, trace it back.
Even things out before you crash.
Believe from inside of you.
Can't get to me, I'll take the pain.
I want it all to just fade away.
Strike that hate from inside of you.
I want it all to just fade away.
Strike that hate from inside of you.
Relentless through and through.
Relentless through and through.
Living your life like a fool.
Living your life like a fool.
Believe in nothing, trust no one.
Believe in nothing, trust no one.
Strike that hate from inside of you.
Being crossed out by those closest to you cuts so deep and causes a pain that you never thought could exist. Don't let it destroy you.
Without mercy, it strikes.
Disbelief, what's become of my life.
Crashing down run me through.
I can't believe I believed in you.
Betrayer, look me in the eye.
Why am I in so much pain this time.
Without warning, trust kills.
I feel nothing and I blame you.
God I hate what's become of me.
Betrayer, look me in the eye.
Why am I in so much pain this time.
Betrayer, look me in the eye.
Why am I in so much pain this time.
I've been dealt a thousand lies.
So why am I in so much pain this time.
Why am I in so much pain this time.
4. RISE OF THE POISONED YOUTH
My escape, The one constant in my life that has seen me through all the highs and lows. Just like you, music is my tool to work my way through this ugly world.
No on knows the hell that you live in.
Spirit broke with nowhere to turn.
Until I found you, I was destined to burn.
The rise of the poisoned youth.
Driven by trials, hardened by truths.
Now I am reborn inside of you.
I don't need love of forgiveness.
This you can't touch, fade to the distance.
Truth struggles to strength, it's my fuse.
Now I am reborn inside of you.
The rise of the poisoned youth.
Driven by trials, hardened by truths.
Now I am reborn inside of you.
The rise of the poisoned youth.
This is something you cannot touch.
Now I am born inside of you.
Hold on to and value the love you find in this world. For many will never know how it feels.
So lost in these days, when there's nothing to believe.
I couldn't see, couldn't breath.
I turned my back on everything.
All my will, all my drive, put you to the test.
When all that you love, all that you know is pushing you to your death.
When your down reach for me.
With all you strength and I won't let go.
It's you and me against this world.
You've got to know that you're never alone.
In troubled times, I'll see you through.
I feel the strains, the same pain that you do.
When your down reach for me.
With all you strength and I won't let go.
It's you and me against this world.
You've got to know you and I are never alone.
The users, The leeches. The washed up. Throw the word around and have no respect for its roots, it's you I despise.
I'll turn on them just like I turned on you.
I guess it's safe to say.
I'll always be the enemy.
I won't unite with what I despise.
I won't unite with what I despise.
Don't you fucking look at me, and don't you say my name.
Just because you come around here.
I'm carried by the truth.
Rules are rules, fools are fools.
None of them matter to me.
I won't unite with what I despise.
I won't unite with what I despise.
I won't unite with what I despise.
So now I turn on them, just like I turned on you.
It's you I despise; I'll never live that way.
It's you I despise; I'll never live my life that way.
Living on random floors, no showers, dirty clothes, no sleep and still broke at 35. Is this life I chose and gave myself to all for nothing? I'm still here and wouldn't change a thing.
I always fuck up the best things.
Empty pockets, no future for me.
Just live your life and let me sink.
Just live your life and let me sink.
Has my life been one huge mistake.
Everything that I ever held close.
Kicked out from under me.
Nothing has shown me promise, and nothings what it seems.
The city's breathing, something tells me this is right for me.
Has my life been one huge mistake.
Try and draw me off my path.
Nothing falls into place.
So hard to earn, but easy to break.
I won't allow myself to be beat.
Takes everything I fucking have just to stay alive.
Has my life been one huge mistake.
Don't ask me if I'm okay.
Just live your life and let me sink.
I always fuck up the best things.
Empty pockets, no future for me.
I won't allow myself to be beat.
Running from everything that you've ever known.
Nothings adding up, never been this low.
About time to start picking up pieces, and think about reasons of why you ended up here.
Feel the pain, you need something to live for and something to die for or you're gonna drown in the.
Bury your defeats or you'll never make it through.
Feel the pain, you need something to live for and something to die for or you're gonna drown in the.
Bury your defeats or you'll never make it through.
You'll never make it through.
Falling through the cracks.
Nothing left to grasp, but you won't cave in.
They're pushing you, and testing you.
You need something to live for and something to die for.
Or you're gonna drown in the.
Bury your defeats or you'll never make it through.
The peaceful, beautiful world that mankind was given is now a war zone of filth and greed. We are all to blame and times just keep getting worse.
Running, running for our lives, and I think we've lost our minds.
And we're running out of time.
Why do we live this way? Running in circles.
Never look the beast in the eye.
Out of sight, out of mind, out of time.
And I think we've lost our minds.
And I think we've lost our minds.
And were running out of time.
And I think we've lost our minds.
Out of sight, out of mind, out of time.
I've been lost in the negative for so long, wanting everyone and everything to crash and burn, including myself. This is about realizing the problem isn't them. It's me.
Constant walls I've built for me.
Keep them away, defiantly.
Down, down, down I'm lost again.
Devoured dreams, devastation.
I never asked to be this way.
I never asked for anything.
Redemption, I'm so lost again.
Redemption only comes from within.
Time, time, time goes slow.
Can't make sense out of thoughts of my own.
Wasted life, wasting away.
I never asked to be this way.
Constant falls into oblivion.
Pray for the worst, accept the end.
Down, down, down, can't let them in.
I never asked to be this way.
I never asked for anything.
Redemption, I'm so lost again.
Redemption, Redemption only comes from within.
I never asked to be this way.
I never asked for anything.
Now march on to your redemption.
I'll never forget the first time I saw Zero Tolerance or the day I got a dubbed "Victim in Pain" cassette with "Don't Forget the Struggle..." on the other side. Not to much has changed in me since then. Maybe it's me that's stuck but that's fine with me.
I can't forget this struggle.
You can't take this away from me.
From the ashes I found true strength.
Built conviction to crush what's week.
Forced to see the other side.
Through this world I reject.
Whether you like it or not, this is where I belong.
This struggle is now mine.
What's your lose or gain.
Keep your focus, keep your faith.
Like it or not, this is where I belong.
From the ashes I found true strength.
Built conviction to crush what's week.
For all that you have taught me, all the distant places you have taken me and all the people you've brought into my life. There is no fame or glory, just handshakes and hugs so I know that you're routing for me.
Do you feel what I feel 'cause I feel.
Do you see the things that I see? Do you hear these words that I scream? Do you still believe? Do you feel what I feel? Am I the only one that sees? Would you give it all, lay it on the line? Do you know what this means? The only truth that I ever found.
All my will remains unbound.
You best believe that I still believe.
13. SUFFER, TO RETURN HARDER
We are all human. We all make so many mistakes in our lives....don't let them add up and end yours. Pain makes great music. I know you can feel it to.
Suffer, to return harder.
I've got the scars to prove it.
This world never wanted me.
The product of hard luck.
The sum of all the shit that I've seen.
I choose to lay in waste because this world never wanted me.
I've felt addictions, I've felt so ugly and week.
Seen some of the best die so young.
I've done things that sicken me.
Can't show regret, nothing to say.
This world never wanted me.
I've stepped on the ones I loved.
Seen friends take there own lives.
With the bottle, I'd drown the pain.
Face to face with guilt, I am shame.
I've got the scars to prove it.
Can't show regret, nothing to say.
This world never wanted me.
Suffer, to return harder.
I've got the scars to prove it.
This world never wanted me.
Can't show regret, nothing to say.
I've got the scars to prove it.
I've got the scars to prove it.
