Inbred master race White hoods, white hate Cowards in your safe space Show your face Show your face Cowardly master race White hoods, weak pride Cowards in your safe fucking space -------- It’s us against them Lit by the sixth sun Warm, we self immolate Freed beasts, we’ve shed our skins We bite the hands We eat the hearts Lit by the sixth sun Warm, we self immolate Freed beasts, we’ve shed our skins We bite the hands We eat the hearts Our blood moved the world It’s us against them Our sun will rise Your sun has set

NOTHING 00:43
Kids these day, too PC, too sensitive Too fucking weak Queers, wetbacks, freaks, & thugs offended by everything Now we’re here, speaking out That’s how it’s always been You’ll be like me, you’ll see one day You bitter old men forgot one fucking thing We’re nothing like you We’re nothing like you We’re nothing like you We’ll never be like you Say that joke one more time to my fucking face Call me that name one more time, we’ll put you in your place These queers, wetbacks, freaks, & thugs are here to stay So sit the fuck back

FOOL 01:12
The loudest voice with nothing to say A bloated ego in your fat fucking head No sincerity, everyone is just a means to an end Social lamprey, you take our work and claim it as your own Your words don’t mean shit Obsessed, obsessed, obsessive We don’t need you Social climbing imposter You’ll come and go, we’ve seen the likes of you This ain’t a costume you can slip in and out of, we don’t need you Shut your fucking mouth Shut your fucking mouth You’re such a fucking joke
5.
BIG MAN 00:41
Can’t afford to live, can’t afford to die Day by day, you’re pushed around by a big man with a gun in his hand When will you take a stand? Can’t afford to live, can’t afford to die Day by day, we’re pushed around Can’t afford to live, can’t afford to die Day by day, we’re pushed around by a big man with a gun in his hand When will you take a stand? I won’t take it, I want more
6.
Stones, knives, guns Stones, knives, guns Stones, knives, guns Can you keep up? Fighting for more power, money, weapons Fighting for more land, control, possessions Can’t compete Can’t compete We can’t compete Can’t compete In this never ending arms race Stones, knives, guns Stones, knives, guns Stones, knives, guns Can’t keep up
7.
Hate how we sound You rage to rip my tongue I’ll grasp on tighter, I’ll break your teeth You try to tell me how I should speak Bit by bit we take it back Bit by bit you lose your grasp No surrender, no peace I dare you to try and take it from me No surrender, no peace Try and take it Try and take it Try and take it Try and take it from me No surrender, no peace No surrender, no peace
8.
LEGACY 00:42
One and the same One and the same Same bullshit, same lies Smug old men laugh behind our backs You take and you take, every hour, every dollar, to keep your wealthy fat The pressure The weight The blame It builds and it builds til we fucking snap Same bullshit, same lies Same bullshit, same lies Lead us like a flock? When you should be led to slaughter
9.
The sign of the cross lays upon the hilt of the sword Their word was the Their word was the knife They crave gold like hungry swine Assasinos in the name of god Prophets of hate His holy word scrawled in blood By divine right You’ve conquered this land From his mouth to the book Damnation by his hand Blessed fucking be the wretched and the weak Praised fucking be his righteous conquest to rape this land Hallowed be thine name Blood suckers in the name of christ Kingdom of salvation? They sent the shadow of fucking death
10.
Called a truce after you’ve lost your ground Your whole self-worth built on keeping me down Sick of all these scars from the years you’ve cut me at the knees Bottom-feeding soul-sucking fucking misery Make amends, after you’ve lost your ground All that self-worth, built on putting me down All these scars from the years you cut me at the knees Never-ending, soul-sucking god damn misery I try, I strive, I thrive No one’s here to take your shit, now you’re all alone
11.
Piensas que somos tus jugétes Piensas que a nadie le importa Crees que puedes alejarte cuando me matas Crees que olvidamos tus puta madre pecados Peinsas que somos débiles Sin cara, Sin nombre, Sin voz, Sin sin vida Tu se crees muy chingones Bueno me reiré y tu lloras por tu pinche vida Me reiré cuando te disparo Mi venganza Mi venganza

LEECH III 01:10
You’re the enemy You’re the enemy You’re the enemy You pulled the rug from under our feet I won’t forget who put us on the street Robbed of stability, stripped of security Fleeced by your greed, profiteering off the misery You’re the enemy You’re the enemy You’re the enemy You pulled the rug from under our feet I won’t forget who put us on the street Robbed of stability, stripped of security Fleeced by your greed, profiteering off the misery I won’t forget I won’t forget who put us on the street I won’t forget being pulled from my feet I won’t forget being robbed of stability I won’t forget you’re the enemy I won’t forget you’re the enemy
13.
All that power All that greed Everything at your fingertips Too blind to see Soulless pale monsters Strip mined our futures Our only birthright to suffocate, starve and die In their quests to be gods They forgot gods don’t bleed and die This is your blackout, the fifth sunset Your death is our paradise Rip the scales from your hands Snap your swords in two Snatch the crowns from your heads Drag you off the pale horse Your death is our paradise
