ONE KING DOWN LYRICS

1. More Hate Than Fear

I'm so fed up with the lies
Their unwillingness to compromise
Sickness decay
Time has come to pay
There is no turning back from here
There is no shame there is no fear
There is no turning back from here
There is more hate than fear

I'm finished with my days of desparation
Before you stands my straight edge proclamation
I've survived these trials I have known
Now look upon this face of stone
And how my times have hardened me
This is my epic legacy

I hate

They don't concern themselves with sin
They are no longer on the outside looking in
There is no way we can lose
Cause there is no way they can win

I stand burned, marked with this straight edge
I have branded into my flesh
Indelible rage
I refuse to be locked in a cage

There is no looking back
There is no turning back
Back from here, do not fear
This hate

2. Absolve

Torn to shreds in agony
Your words pierced me
This is my therapy
You cannot imagine this pain within myself
I drown in shards, my soul is glass
A child shatters and falls to the ground

Just another number to sweep away and forget
I can never forget
I can't forget

You look into my eyes
You see my feelings have changed
My blood has run cold and I feel for you no longer

To me you would be as
The dead would be to me
Dead

Every breath drawn like my last
No savior can slavage my past
As you savior bleeds so do I

As a child you put your pain in me
Your selfishness has left me in ruins
Well, look at you now

This torture suffering
I can't keep it inside of me
Cause it's eating me alive

3. Prey to Human Silence

Caged and oppressed
Their cries remain Supressed
Falling victim to human violence
Falling prey to human silence
Killing without necessity
This ignorance enraging me
Killing without necessity
Unrepentant
Killers of the innocent
Millions die with no real reason why
We consume to satisfy
We do not kill to stay alive
As a race we torture and we kill
In the name of a God given will
What reasoning is this?
Butchers, vivisectors
The killers should be killed

4. Defiance

My eyes close tighter
To wish it all away
No one will be left
To take the blame
Other let each other sink deeper
Into the unbroken cycle of self slavery
One day will come when all will see
It's all the same

Uncovered freezing
In the depths of your mind, so alone
Exposed unbroken
Against this wind and sun

Defiance

Nothing will change
Innocent children remain as slaves
The truth denied and their lies
Burn me alive

I kneel before you
Wed to this edge for life

It has become my inner self
My true self

It's me

5. Mass Suicide

In this world of morality and righteousness
There are more than enough stones to be cast
Pure birthed from the polluted parasites of sysematic acidity
What has been reaped, I shall not sow
I will uproot with impunity
Again and again many will forget the ignorance
Of the walking dead
Buried amongst serdiment and regret

One would search in vain for a half way point in this decision
There is no halfway drug free conviction
This poison's addiction is a global self-genocide
And the apathy it breeds is the mass suicide

For the choices made
For the countless laid to waste
For all the pushers and addicts
I've seen too much I've had it

This poison's addiction is a self genocide
And this apathy is the mass suicide

6. Bloodlust Revenge

Through one choice made all choice is gone
And I see them throught ice glazed eyes
I envisioned their will to never crack
Now these hands are ties behind a broken back
Whatever I once knew fell apart in my hands
Breaking, falling to the floor like sand
Through these fingers of panic this decent I see
I look down, all I see is what used to be

I mourn for all the loss
I have nowhere to place the blame
There is no more time for deciding
Father, I know what their hiding

Time has come for the truth to be known
Shed the falsehood for your own good
There's nothing wrong in taking another step
There is no crime in saving what's left

Cast iron convictions catalyst to my reactive hate
I see the times to come. I cannot wait

A kinship lay in shambles
Shadows of promises once made
Indifference, emptiness
To those who have been betrayed

So I cover it with pride
And this torture I keep on the inside
These years of decay
Are chipping me away

Vengeance will serve as attrition to their sin
This is my jurisdiction again
A line is crossed as I have been
Punishment, bloodlust revenge
