Divide (live)
04:02

Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
You hear the noise, fear the voice, inside
That says "we want no more"
They take a name, make 'em say, "they're all the same,
We want no more"
Compelled and consuming
Don't know the right thing
Diseased and we're bleeding
They say goodbye
If that's the way, we will divide
They say it can't be right
If that's the way, we will divide
They say we must fight
If that's the way, we will divide
They say we can't unite
If that's the way, we will divide
You take the bait: stupid face,
The gun's in place to go off once more
You hear the name, scream with hate, "they're all the same,
We want no more", as we divide
Tell me to sever the ties
Tell me this isn't a lie
Tell me to follow behind
Separate me, segregate me

These Wars (live)
05:18
|
|||
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
I look around for a moment,
And all I see is an illusion, an illusion
Connected disconnection
All misery, no emotion
Alone but surrounded
Can't see the way out of this
Don't let it consume us,
Becomes an obsession
Opinions, no reason
These wars won't solve themselves
Addicted to yourself
Make it quick or no one will ever see it
'Cause I got no time, and I don't wanna feel it
Focus out of sight
Substance out of mind
Alone but surrounded
Can't see the way out of this
So hard to resist it
A face without a voice
Control without a choice

So Blind (live)
04:36
|
|||
Music: N. Da Silva, P. Gillespie
Lyrics: N. Da Silva, B. Soares
Here we are,
In a world so blind,
Innocence and guilt, out of mind
Why now,
In a world so blind,
Do we leave all our morals behind?
Save me,
I've lost my way, I'm so far
Can somebody stop me, yeah

Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
All these years go by
I see my life so high, a passed down memory
Life before, I live the dream
My own suffering
Should I do anything?
A view of hopelessness
A product of my carelessness
My fears, despair, consume me
Save me, save us from ourselves
My mind is free, abuse me
Save me, save us from ourselves
Ourselves, ourselves
Aware of what I see
I choose to let it be a disconnected way
Still I wait for them to say
Waiting patiently
For the change in me
But will I ever be
Rid of this complacency?
My fears, despair, consume me
Save me, save us from ourselves
My mind is free, abuse me
Save me, save us from ourselves
Ourselves, ourselves
Now, I can see – there will never be an end to this
How can I be so mindless to the lack of consciousness?
Fight or flight – never caring of the end in sight
We must need adrenaline to purge the fear we always fight
A downward spiral (x4)
My fears, despair, consume me
Save me, save us from ourselves
My mind is free, abuse me
Save me, save us from ourselves
Ourselves, ourselves

Music: Nathan Da Silva and Paul Gillespie
Lyrics: Nathan Da Silva and Daniel Da Silva
Living in a world that’s taken for granted
Pushing every limit without a thought
Veer your eyes around and see the violence
But you bury your head in sand with silence
We can help each other but we’re in denial
Some might say that we will never be saved
If you fear in hesitation, you’ll be left in desperation
Knowing that our existence will be our death
The more I think about this life, the more I tend to wonder
If what I see around me will be gone before we know what’s wrong
Imagine all our focus driving us toward a way to rebuild
Unless we learn to change, our prophecy of misery will be true
Our desire for power is out of control
Funding total corruption and conduct of war
Give your love to the world ’cause she’s forsaken
Turn to those before you and reawaken
The more I think about this life, the more I tend to wonder
If what I see around me will be gone before we know what’s wrong
Imagine all our focus driving us toward a way to rebuild
Unless we learn to change, our prophecy of misery will be true
We are the ones who create (ones who create)
This downward spiral we try to berate
I dream a dream
Where everything is withered and decayed
We’ll live that dream
‘Cause everyone is misery we sustain
Taunting
Every thought about this world is
Haunting
What I hope to see
The more I think about this life, the more I tend to wonder
If what I see around me will be our last chance to prevent misery
Prevent misery
Prevent misery
Hear the message, see what’s really happening
Can’t you see that this is your own misery (x2)

Back Again (live)
05:39
|

Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
From up here
Sheets of glass reveal the rocky bed we crawl from
Nothing near, but darkness
Holds it all together, and we wanna stay forever
We won't be coming back again
We're too far away
From up here
We lay our heads in pillows in the sky, transcending comforts in our lies
Nothing to fear, this beauty
Holds it all together, yeah we wanna stay forever
We won't be coming back again
We're too far away
From up here
This pale blue mass reveals the fragile rock we come from
Nothing here, this gravity
Holds it all together, yeah we wanna stay forever
We won't be coming back again
We're too far away

Pull The Trigger (live)
05:01
|

Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
If this is me, then who am I?
If I don’t speak, then who will try?
To be like them is where we end
A revolution to defend
Dark shadows on the earth
Cast light to break the curse
No time to look back on our mistakes
No crime to have ourselves left in shame
Our lives are devoted to the truth
To find all the answers to the world we knew
Last stand before we disappear
Outnumbered by the ones who fear
As we lose to the machine
Say goodbye to the fear that they create
To the values that they make
No time to look back on our mistakes
No crime to have ourselves left in shame
Our lives are devoted to the truth
To find all the answers to the earth
It’s the time for our rebirth
Say goodbye to what you see
It’s the answer that we need
No time to look back on our mistakes
No crime to have ourselves left in shame
Our lives are devoted to the truth
To find all the answers to the world we knew
Pull the trigger and say goodbye

Stand and Fight (live)
04:02
|
|||
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
For you and I will see
The world can often be the
Hand of greed that takes our right to breathe
In silent misery
Slander bends our dreams
Telling us to feed on the machine
No science can silence
The blind sickness of mankind – will never see
No violence can silence
The right to express our mind – we will stand and fight
Green covers blacket me
And soon it becomes me
It’s a curse that no one sees
It’s hard to take the lead
It sees our every deed
Telling us to feed on the machine
No science can silence
The blind sickness of mankind – will never see
No violence can silence
The cries of our conscious minds – when we have to decide
No science can silence
The blind sickness of mankind – will never see
No violence can silence
The cries of our conscious minds
No violence can silence
The right to express our mind – we will stand and fight

Take Us Away (live)
04:08
|
|||
Music: N. Da Silva/B. Soares
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
Imbalanced and abused through time
Division of the mind and what is right
The flow that keeps us all alive
It’s about to show us what it needs to survive
We are the parasite
And soon we all will die
The balance will return in time
We’ll have nothing left to say
We’ll have no one left to blame
When the world is fucked and gone
If there’s something left to say
Go find someone left to blame
When the end’s about to come
And take us away
We live without a change in sight
Awaken to the truth and open your eyes
Together we must search inside
And free ourselves, from ourselves again
We’ll have nothing left to say
We’ll have no one left to blame
When the world is fucked and gone
If there’s something left to say
Go find someone left to blame
When the end’s about to come
And then take us away from this hell we made
I said take me away from this hell we made
We’ll have nothing left to say
We’ll have no one left to blame
When the world is fucked and gone (x2)
We’ll have nothing left to say
We’ll have no one left to blame
When the end’s about to come
And take us away

Lies (live)
06:01
|
|||
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
Goodbye blue sky
A wasteland in sight
When we run dry
We’ll bring the decline
Of life
Thirteen thousand in an hour is the destiny
Brutal killings and displacement in conformity
Take advantage now to “better the economy”
See the government fuck the majority
Dig for gold and hijack society
Turn the land into a corporate colony
All to “better Western prosperity”
While we cheat and fuck all humanity
All these lies will kill millions of lives
The 1% that play out our eventual demise
All these lies destroy our future ties
Ignoring all the values that will keep us alive
Goodbye blue sky, a wasteland in sight
When we run dry we’ll bring the decline
When did we lose our connection to the Earth?
The devastation we create must be reversed
Open your eyes and wake up your minds
Open your eyes before it’s too late
Dig for gold and hijack society
Turn the land into a corporate colony
All to “better Western prosperity”
While we cheat and fuck all humanity
Take a stand and we can fight politically
Fight for what is right environmentally
Their morals lack responsibility
Apocalyptic reflection of reality
All these lies will kill millions of lives
The 1% that play out our eventual demise
All these lies destroy our future ties
Ignoring all the values that will keep us alive
Goodbye blue sky, a wasteland in sight
When we run dry we’ll bring the decline
Of life
When we run dry
We’ll bring the decline
