Never Die

I’ve got the power, i’ve got the pride, i’ve got the will and the strength to survive. I never thought that I would get out alive—I lived in fear but it was all in my mind. Had nobody to save me, just me myself and I. The dogs from hell no longer chase me and after all I’ve been through it feels like I will never die. Nothing but grateful for what I have and I will no longer stray from the path. I’ll take on anything—the good and the bad—and nothing else is gonna hold me back. Can’t keep running in circles or asking reasons why. Carrying the weight of the world for my friends and family hoping that they will never die. Trying to be optimistic and see the good things in life. Everything goes by so quick and I’ll no longer be held back by fear cause I’ll never die. Never.

Kill Or Be Killed

Seems like the world’s gone silent as I walk down the streets at night but as I glanced into the shadows I see something I don’t like. Turned away minding my own business but I was already in their sights. One came from around the corner, another at my back with a knife. Time stood still, the tension builds, kill or be killed. Before I even knew what happened I was approached by flashing lights. I was taken to the station as sirens echoed through the night. I explained the situation, that I was fighting for my life. You find yourself in desperation you’ll do anything to survive.

Better World
02:55

Every day’s a struggle, every day’s the same; underneath the rubble trying to escape. But it seems so futile, a never ending fight. But at the end of the tunnel I can see a light and that’s what keeps me moving forward. Struggle today for a better tomorrow; a better world we can all work towards. A better world without pain or sorrow. This is a call to action, those swine can keep their pearls. Let’s make this future happen—let’s build a better world. Is there any meaning behind the lives we lead? Is there a silver lining in our minds clouded by greed? Working for nothing and the talk is cheap. I’d rather work for something that we can all achieve. Some say that it’s out of the question, that self destruction is our only true fate. When will we finally learn our lesson? Let’s stop our selfish ways before it’s too late.

Take No Shit

Take no shit and throw some bricks, lace up your boots and raise your fist. Don’t conform, always resist. Stand up when they tell you to sit—whatever they say do the opposite. If they don’t like it, tough fucking shit. If you hate your job then fucking quit, don’t stand for any of it. Make up your own damn mind. Wake up and see the light. Wise up and do what’s right. Rise up and join the fight. Take no shit and take a stand, don’t choose sides be your own man. Who cares if they don’t understand, just keep doing the best you can. If your life feels empty then make a plan—your destiny is in your hands. You stood your ground while the others ran, hope’s not lost there's still a chance.

The War Has Just Begun
02:12

I used to be indifferent, I shrugged my shoulders high; but I can’t look the other way. No, not this time. I won’t stand for injustice, I won’t stand for the hate. We gotta put a stop to this before it’s too late. There’s gotta be something to be done, they say the war has just begun. Will we stand in solidarity or turn around and run? The war has just begun. I used to think my life was hard until I looked outside and saw I had what other’s lacked—open your eyes. We’re given the bare minimum accepting it as gold and when we try to ask for more they just say no.

Working Class Victim
02:33
|

They say that money makes the world go round and that there’s alot of it to be found. Can’t save a dollar to save your life—spend it on everything money can buy. You don’t wanna bite the hand that feeds when it gives you everything you need. Disobedience is not your game; doing what you’re told that’s your forte. Cause you are a working class victim, a slave to the system, no pride or ambition—just wasting your energy. Cause you are a working class victim, a slave to the system, no pride or ambition—just be who you wanna be. Early morning rise and shine; this ain’t the life that you had in mind years ago when you were a child—imagination running wild. But then the world came crashing in and you’ve been struggling ever since. It all seems so long ago, so many people that I used to know have become a working class victim, a slave to the system, no pride or ambition—just wasting their energy. Just be who you wanna be.

Start From Scratch

You don’t wanna hear me complaining but what else can I do? Life sucks, so what?, suck it up is all I hear from you. Well I’m sick and tired of breaking my back over things you put me through. It’s not the life I wanna live—it’s time for something new. Let’s start from scratch pick up the pieces and use them to rebuild. Let’s show the bastards that they’re wrong, the ones who said we never will. Let’s start from scratch, can’t hold us back so don’t stand in our way—the dawning of another day. I don’t want to look back one day and fill up with regret. I don’t wanna live the rest of my life just wondering what’s next. I know life has a tendency to put you to the test but everything I’ve ever done just feels like second best.

Let's Drink

Drinking beers on a Friday night, me and the boys we’re doin alright. We’re not looking for a fight but if you test us we just might. But that’s not what we came here for; we came to drink until we hit the floor. So come and have another pour and let’s drink like we never have before. Hanging out in the parking lot, sip from the bottle and a little pot. It’s not much but it’s all I got—I’d rather be fucked up than not, surrounded by my closest friends and seeing all of our favorite bands. Having a party after the show, let’s drink like we never have before.

Fuck me if this isn’t catchy as all hell. Like Oi Polloi meets Blitz but better than the sum of those parts. Every song is a banger but “Revenant” really hits those neurons in the best of ways.
