When We Pray
Is it insane to think the world could change?
Just look at how far that we have fallen
I am a slave, I feed the fire, I am a pawn within this world gone so wrong
If your enemy looked you in the eyes would you pull the switch?
Would you suffer for your chosen victim?
Or justify your will to feed the rich?
The world is ruled by fools and thieves
With a flair for power and a taste for greed
Now ask yourself do you feel betrayed?
Because nothing ever changes when we pray
Look at the game that we have chosen
Is it so wrong that we all want the death bombs?
I am a slave, I feed the fire, I am a pawn within this world gone so wrong
If your finger was above the trigger would it itch?
With eyes cut out the path is cold and resistant
The world is ruled by fools and thieves
With a flair for power and a taste for greed
Now ask yourself do you feel betrayed?
Because nothing ever changes when we pray
The world is ruled by fools and thieves
With a flair for power and a taste for greed
The world is dark and the world is gray
Because nothing ever changes when we pray
There were times when I was feeling down and I was on the edge
The world is ruled by fools and thieves
With a flair for power and a taste for greed
Now ask yourself do you feel betrayed?
Because nothing ever changes when we pray

Brother
Brother, you were never there for me
when the children needed peace
you disgraced both families
brother, you were never there for me
when my father died, I thought that you would
take my hand, he said I was just too young
sister, I can tell you all the love I have for you
our mother sleeps in silent peace
because your love was true
but brother, you were never there for me
when my father died, I thought that you would
take my hand, he said I was just too young
if I could erase one moment of pain
I'd throw away everything, even fame
if I could play God, you know what I'd do
I'd swim through your blood and kill the cancer in you
but brother, you were never there for me
I was just too young, now I've grown and I can say
that brother, you were never there for me
when my father died, I thought that you would
take my hand, he said I was just too young
if I could play God
if I could play God
if I could play God
if I could play God
I'd swim through your blood,
and kill the cancer in you
my brother

Let You Down
And the parasites that call themselves the pretty ones
Licked their lips acknowledging the suffering they had created
And yet felt no remorse
In between the quiet space
Of cold defense and misplaced selfish rage
I blame defiantly
Not like the others that came before
We are the ones who can change
I love to let you down
I love to wear this foolish crown
Of suffering and empty dignity
For your deity has abandoned me
Such is vanity
The withered parasites are slandering
The walls of truth, the wise can see them fall
To attain enlightment
The change is whispered on the winds of unjust war
I love to let you down
I love to wear this foolish crown
Of suffering and empty dignity
For your deity has abandoned me
Such is vanity
Not like the others that came before
We are the ones who can change
Not like the hatred that falls away
Treading the silence again
I love to let you down
I love to wear this foolish crown
Of suffering and empty dignity
For your deity has abandoned me
Such is vanity
Not like the others that came before
We are the ones who can change
***********************************
Obey
Useless faith and numbered days
The end is near, we're all insane
The end is near, the drug is fear
Obey these words and believe me
Puppets play your game
Useless faith or poisoned veins
Follow me blindly into oblivion
Useless faith and numbered days
The end is near, we're all insane
The doomsayers, the clock-watchers
Control your fate for their needs
When bullets are a legal drug
Murder is the ultimate rush
Society will punish you, is it wrong to execute
When will the powerful learn to understand
When we slit our wrists the same blood
Falls into the sand
Useless faith and numbered days
The end is near, we're all insane

The Day The Rats Went To War
Blind are the hypocrites the lizards drunk with power
Through idiosyncrasies and blasphemy
The world will be devoured
While the poor men die the rich men sing
Monetary praises to the war machine
The rats scream for change and equality
While the mechanics of power stain humanity
I am the new breed
The bastard of Adam's seed
While the poor men die, the rich men sing
Monetary praises to the war machine
The day the rats went to war
The union of mutiny spread throughout the moors
The day the rats went to war
First you take a hypocrite and give him ultimate power
While the poor men die the rich men sing
Monetary praises to the war machine
The day the rats went to war
The union of mutiny spread throughout the moors
The day the rats went to war
