Welcome to the age of an American empire Not a day will pass when bombs don't seem to fly Scream about the rights of victims and their pain But your actions are where the causes lay
Don't like what we have done We're not the only ones Before you raise you rage Look closely at your past:
Algeria and Vietnam Africa the Middle East English ships and the slave trade Now, tell me who's the beast
European leaders wringing their own hands Set aside as powers in the Holy Land To Europe, we are lacking in sophistication Are we another little, shitty country?
Don't like what we have done We're not the only ones Before you raise you rage Look closely at your past:
Southeast Asia and India Aztec, Mayan, and Incan worlds Chinese hooked on opium Sacrificed for the old-world ways
Belief in their empire covers them in cloth Forget their powers and morals, for the part History shows us this has always been our harm When we put up with this and the UN in charge
Don't like what we have done We're not the only ones Before you raise you rage Look closely at your past:
America, your enemy To heal, your leaders tell But for your own demands You need our power, as well
You held my heart in your own hand when we first met I can't believe I ever loved you Then I learned what you had done with my whole life I can't believe I ever loved you
Now watch me go on my own way
I didn't ever think to stop and wonder why All those times you couldn't meet me I never wanted to be the other man But that is just what you have made me
Now match me go on my own way I don't think we'll meet another day
You tried to sind your hooks in me After I thought I was over you
Could it be the shattered memories of my dreams I can't deny I ever loved you But even blind men can see with their own hearts When betrayal opens their eyes
Now match me go on my own way I don't think we will meet again
Am I dreaming, am I alive, the final war, I did survive One of the chosen. One of the few. A world in ruins because of who Now you look around See the world in ruins Those few who survive No begin again Leaders soon arise Factions splitting off Liars soon come again Life is hell again
What have you been doing with yourself these years I really think that you have no idea You waste your time and pass your days with no pursuits You take no interest in what's going on
One day, on your own All your life you've been afraid Of success and defeat You've made your life a living Hell
Wake up [4x]
I think that you should take a look around You'd be surprised at what you see There's a world out there you never learned It may be time to learn some new ideas
One day, on your own All your life you've been afraid Of success and defeat You've made your life a living Hell
Wake up [4x]
Now is not the time to hide out in a cave Or stick your head into the sand It's time to face life on your feet and on your terms Respect yourself or noone will
One day, on your own All your life you've been afraid Of success and defeat You've made your life a living Hell
Closed books is what some people's minds are like Shut tight, new ideas, they just always get passed by Prejudice, living in their thoughts and deeds Ignoring all the other people's needs
You say a double standard's OK I'm telling you that this is insane What is it that you've got in your fist Could it be another one of your lists
Noone else can do the job just right Unless they're Anglo-Saxon white Foolish, the minds that have this attitude You can't judge everybody by that rule
You say a double standard's OK I'm telling you that this is insane What is it that you've got in your fist Could it be another one of your lists
No place in this country for this Everyone has to have an equal place Nazis, they lost it 40 years ago Rednecks just realize this a little slow
You say a double standard's OK I'm telling you that this is insane What is it that you've got in your fist Could it be another one of your lists
The bio-sphere, the place we live It seems like we don't give a damn Other species flushed down the tubes We need another race to rape The way we live, we will destroy Every other living thing Till none are left except our race And then we will destroy ourselves
Another oil spill! Atomic waste displaced! Another forest dies! Bring on the acid rain!
Slightly insane, the type of greed That makes a world unfit for life Toxic wastes destroy our seas While poison gas pollutes the air A waste of life, while no one cares The earth becomes a giant tomb Critical mass will be achieved And ruins will be all that's left
Another oil spill! Atomic waste displaced! Another forest dies!
A hell on earth, what we create Dragging life to death with us All living things destroyed or used By shortsighted human beings We do these things, let them be done Apathy creates despair The damamge done will be too great The world wounded beyond repair
Another oil spill! Atomic waste displaced! Another forest dies!
I wander through the streets at night Lost and cold, alone Bloody visions fill my dreams My heart is like a stone A stranger comes out of the mist Backons to call me near He leads me down the path of hate Down the road of sin
Can you can you canyou hear me Can you can you canyou see me Can you can you canyou hear me Can you can you canyou see me
I fight o loosing battle now To keep myself controlled But it seems like no one cares I'm about to lose my soul Selling that whith God gave me For a price of gold To travel freely into Hell Has become my goal
Can you can you canyou hear me Can you can you canyou see me Can you can you canyou hear me Can you can you canyou see me
Now a willing servent of Hell Lucifer, my friend All of those who oppressed me Are about to meet their end The Queen of Hell my willing whore The dead hear what I say The cost to me has been my soul For these sins I've paid
Can you can you canyou hear me Can you can you canyou see me Can you can you canyou hear me Can you can you canyou see me
Now I've died and Lucifer Reminds me of my debt Now it's time to lose the soul That Satan shall collect Looking back upon mu life At the waste it's been The cost was high, the price was great I've paid much for my sins
I always thought you were my friend But it seems that in the end You're a backstabbing fool I always trust you with me You're the mistress of deceit You're a backstabbing fool
Another day has passed you by, And now it seems that you don't care. You've let your life slip away, You feel no pain, you feel no joy. You've let your feelings fade away, You've let life tear apart your soul.
Feel... ...no pain! Feel... ...no pain!
You must wake up and perceive, That you are not a victim here. You're a traveller through this life, No one persecuted you. You've brought it down upon yourself, And now you're standing on the edge.
Feel... ...no pain! Feel... ...no pain!
Take a look at where you are, And then look back to what you were. And think of how you got there, Work at repairing your life, You can't just throw it all away, You've got to stick it to the end.

A time in the future, not too far away The death of our world, we are told Destroyed by neglect, now breeding despair The home of mankind is despoiled Polluted oceans, unbreathable air The life of the land under siege Cancer is spreading and wasting the world And mankind is now the disease
Look upon the world you knew And say goodbye, it dies with you Those who live when we are dead Will curse our names, they 've inherited Hell
The forests are gone and the ocean destroyed The world we once knew now is dead The animals slaughtered, wild life in its grave The sun burns too bright overhead Cities collapsing and famine runs rampant A nightmare where once there was life Radiation and toxins a part of the children Who will hate us until they die
We never stopped to think or reflect On what we have done to the world The heritage we live our children is Hell A short life in pain what we mold We 've squandered resources and wasted the land And left little for those to come They will have nothing to claim for their own Except for the Hell we have shown
