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

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

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)

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

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

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

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
