AFFIANCE LYRICS

1. Reboot

I no longer believe we are in control of this
The machine calculating our death
This wasn't built to last !
Our entire system dissolving fast
Resolve will be our only escape

As this virus spreads, we lose more love
If we are to survive, rewrite history, reboot our minds.
We are taught to fear the unknown
Regard each other as a foreign threat
We have all been programmed, now we all must press reset. Reboot !

They've hijacked our minds
Lay waste to innovation, they've squashed our imagination
Trade human life for profit margins as we stand back and observe

As this virus spreads, we lose more love
If we are to survive, rewrite history, reboot our minds.
We are taught to fear the unknown
Regard each other as a foreign threat
We have all been programmed, now we all must press reset.
We are taught to fear the unknown
Regard each other as a foreign threat
We have all been programmed, now we all must press reset.

The solution is not in the sky
The apathetic cannot hide
There is no satisfaction, no cure for this disease
Set fire to what you think you know
Understand, it's only your belief
You think this wasn't in "their" plan?
This was not built to last, it was designed to collapse!

2. Gaia

Listen while she's still speaking !
Will we only learn our lesson when our desires have eclipse the earth
Where will you hide ?
And when the veil is stripped away from her, there will be nothing left to consume
And time you can't take back
We cannot begin again !

We are one, this is our broken home
Our mother she weeps tonight
Are we lost and running out of time
How can we live if she dies

Listen while she's still speaking
Fix your eyes on the horizon and walk to the edge of the earth
Should a child pay for their father's sins or is it to late to save you
And time you can't take back, we cannot begin again

We are one, this is our broken home
Our mother she weeps tonight
Are we lost and running out of time
How can we live if she dies

Fix your eyes on the horizon and walk to the edge of the earth
Listen while she's still speaking

We are one, this is our broken home
Our mother she weeps tonight
Are we lost and running out of time
How can we live if she dies

We will reap what we sow
Listen while she's still speaking
We cannot begin again.
We will reap what we sow
Listen while she's still speaking
We cannot begin again.
We will reap what we sow
Listen while she's still speaking
We cannot begin again.
We will reap what we sow
Listen while she's still speaking
We cannot begin again.

We will reap what we sow !

3. Hollow Empire

Your life casts a long shadow
A jaded legacy,
The world you leave behind
Will be a barren wasteland

You said you did this all for me
Thought only of yourself
These habits can't sustain our lives !

CONSUME ! DIVIDE !
Rewind and start again
CONSUME ! DIVIDE !
Rewind and start again !

All as one blindly working
To build another Hollow Empire !
Everyone slowly losing ambition
To become...

CONSUME ! DIVIDE !
Rewind and start again
CONSUME ! DIVIDE !
Rewind and start again

...Violence !

Fills my mind,
These days are so misleading
Tear out my throat,
Because our voices have no meaning !

The cross you made
Is too heavy to carry !
The burden you left
Will end up leaving us buried !

Start again !
All as one blindly working
To build another Hollow Empire !
Everyone slowly losing ambition
To become...

There's no future here !
(No future here)
These lies will stand no longer !

It's time to bring it,
Bring the fucking justice !
Bring the fucking justice !!

All as one...
All as one !

(We will)
CONSUME ! DIVIDE !

It's a vicious circle

CONSUME ! DIVIDE !

When will it end ?!

CONSUME ! DIVIDE !

Rewind and start...
AGAIN !

4. Knowing

Thinking, desperate for answers
A mind that never stops
All alone the nights are cold,
Distance grows greater to a place
I've never seen!

I've been wandering how did I get here
I'm so far away from who you thought I'd be
Always trying to be myself
Because knowing who I am
Afraid of who I'm not!

Grieving a loss of certainty
In following one path!
Break the mold
Be whoever whatever I need to be
But I can count on one hand
The times I felt you'd understand me!

I've been wandering how did I get here
I'm so far away from who you thought I'd be
Always trying to be myself
Because knowing who I am
Afraid of who I'm not!

...Wandering how did I get here
I'm so far away from who you thought I'd be!
Always trying to be myself
Because knowing who I am
Afraid of who I'm not!
(Far away...)
(Always...)

5. Crusader

So take your flame,
And watch your bridges BURN!!

I'm so sick and tired
Of your endless preaching,
But the certainty of your divinity
Is about a stable as quicksand!

You manipulate a story of grace
Fear becomes your god,
Turning servants to slaves!
It was never your right
To tell me how to live my life!
I'm not yours to rule
Interpret for myself now
I'm not your god damned fool!

You claim the promise of love
Offering inner peace!
But instead of quenching ones thirst for water
You justify hatred by breathing fire!

I cannot take anymore
Of your small mindeness!
So take your flame,
And watch your bridges BURN!!

You manipulate a story of grace
Fear becomes your god,
Turning servants to slaves!
It was never your right
To tell me how to live my life!
I'm not yours to rule
Interpret for myself now
I'm not your god damned fool!

If humanity is god's most precious creation,
Why do you condemn it to damnation?

So take your flame,
And watch your bridges burn!
'Cause who needs bridges
When you can walk on water?!

6. PRSVR

Losing endurance, testing my patience
resisting the temptation to walk away and forget about tomorrow
You'll never get this far unless you fight, and if you are broken, start picking up your pieces
and rebuild again
You haven't come this far without a fight, and if you falter, don't listen to your demons Persevere!

My anger is a parasite
My heart will never justify
Until the record is set right, don't stop now!

In my sleep I dream of sinking
there is no one near to hear my cries
watching my dreams go up in flames
before I fade away and die
The odds are stacked against us!

Persevere, like cancer inside me
Satiate it's hunger
Prophecies are beckoning my soul
I need this, I can't stop now!

You'll never get this far unless you fight, and if you are broken, start picking up your pieces
and rebuild again
You haven't come this far without a fight, and if you falter, don't listen to your demons
Don’t listen to your demons !

Drag the anchor holding you down
break the line and pull yourself out
fight your demons, get up off the ground
Persevere and save yourself.

Persevere, like cancer inside me
Satiate the hunger !

Persevere, like cancer inside me
Satiate this hunger
Prophecies are beckoning my soul
I need this, I can't stop now!
Persevere, like cancer inside me
Satiate this hunger
Prophecies are beckoning my soul
I need this, I can't stop NOW!

7. Exist

I stare into the mirror,
Revealing blood shot eyes,
Examining the beast withing!

I no longer believe my lies!

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders,
I cannot breathe!
I can't carry much longer...

Contemplating my existence,
Been out of touch out of my mind
In time our memories will fade
Who will be left, what will remain!

We spend our lives, trampling the earth
Until the day we die!
We are kicking up dirt
I can feel it rise, take back control
Who will remember you?
Are we really along?

Will I lose it.
FUCKING LOSE IT ALL?!

Followed my instincts, until I lost
Who I was, where I'm going.
I dug a grave, a grave for hope!
I must rebuild with my two hands...

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders,
I cannot breathe!
I can't carry much longer
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders!!
I cannot breathe!
I can't carry much longer!

I must rebuild!

"There comes the times in everyone's life
Where we must question
everything we think we know, and understand
about ourselves and the world around us.
To truly discover one's self, one's purpose.
We are at the precipice of change.
The entire human race, an awakening!
'Cause if there is no fate,
Is there not even more meaning.
In whatever we decide
Our purpose should be?!"

We spend our lives, trampling the earth
Until the day we die!
We are kicking up dirt
I can feel it rise, take back control
Who will remember you?
Are we really along?

Will I lose it all?!
(Lose it all...)
I must rebuild with my own hands!
