ONE KING DOWN LYRICS

1. Deliver Me

i look into the mirror and I can't see what's wrong i gaze at my face i look into my eyes i
make the faces that i've made before what makes them come so close what makes them turn away
my eyes reveal nothing as i stare into their depts my face lines with grief i don't know why
my lips crack that twisted smile again of anguish and pain my image contorts what can i do
where can i find the answers that i seek deliver me nothing is resolved i simply stare into
my face of one who is confused, afraid and alone deliver me deliver me from this

2. In The Blood

you think that i'm worthless you call me different a useless being a waste, a loss i beg to
differ from where i stand it is you who is lost a multitude of idiocy an army of weaklings
and drones follow one other like lemmings over a cliff you all live your lives the same and
you call me crazy poor misguided flock of sheeps i'm not locked in here with you you're
locked in here with me i have my own identity who'd want to be like you trapped in a fantasy
distortion of reality your manufactured world means nothing to me you think of me as an
outcast i think of you as a lost cause i have my own sense of self in the blood

3. Who Am I

merit less intoxication straight edge, my liberation i sever all ties from poison and greed
placing distance between me and that wich i don't need proud to be who i am i make this choice
for me and no other human i live this way for myself i hold to my own values and no one else's
but to be addicted to the edge is to be all that we've fought against to become that what we
most despise vain pride will only lead to our demise don't be as guilty as they of suffering
from dependency don't lack compassion when you judge and pass sentence be an asset to positive
change not a menace the ignorant displays of our views only make us as guilty as those who we
accuse it's sad to see so many embrace these ways intollerance only causes pain i stand strong
i've built my own edge my pride is firmly planted in solid ground not on a false edge i've seen
the way through other's past mistakes i'll keep a clear head in deciding what path it is that
i should take all this pious justice is just a faillure's trend unwarrented aggression solves
nothing in the end i'll cast no stones on those who live a different way i'm confident and
secure enough not to fear diversity my interest doesn't lie in what's in your glass i'm only
concerned with what's in your heart what's in your heart are you for real are you cold and
lifeless or do you feel do you have emotion or are you fake do you live your life for you or
is it based on false hate choose drugs free for you be proud but let the others be

4. God Loves, Man Kills

God loves, man kills all that he makes god loves, god gives man hates, man takes
indiscriminately without discretion we destroy his creation blessed with a curse a knack for
decay where life exists man strips it away God loves, man kills our actions clear the path
that'll lead to our death the age of man will come to an end again and again we breed
destruction we claim the knowledge of good and evil we claim to know what's best for our
people and so we act out with a false sense of righteousness and we kill under selfish pretense
God loves, man kills by nature, by design to create, to destroy both talents well refined
oblivious to the pain and decadense we cause on this course we remain until our actions kill
us all we stumble forward blindly destroying without a tear poor fallible mankind repent, for
the end is near God loves, man kills

5. All To Gray

why can't it be simple like it is when we were young instead everything is hard nothing makes
sense i can't figure anything out all i can do is sit and let the tears roll down my face as
my eyes fill everything turnes to gray all grows cold and dark between us and what i once felt
for you now lies ruined of all the knives you've stabbed me in the back with one has finally
found my heart and like venom hurt and confusion pump through every inch of my body all that
i want is to heal your wounds how can i escape my open sores i sacrifice my well-being to
become your support and i doing so i fall to the blade that is your affection i'm cut and
broken and still i struggle on for you you deserve so much but what can i do i bend like the
reed to your will only to be cut down by the scythe that is your love i set myself up to be
knocked down i walk right into your trap but thoughts of love shine in my eyes and clutching
at straws i follow their light what i don't realise is that i've been beaten and the lights
go out forever gone all to gray

6. No Escape From Self

fractured view of life fictions starts to decay there's no escape from self there's no escape
from the pain facade walls pulled down image world forced out return of the repressed there's
no escape from self there's no escaping what's locked on the inside and there's no running
from that wich i cannot hide reality opposed returns to victimize mirror images only serve to
terrorize a world constructed from fairy tales a foolish answer to what's real awake to the
truth or live a lie the bane of my own existence is trapped on the inside you cause the pain
that i suffer and you cast the blame on the other so many of our problems are your own
creation and you'd see if only you'd examine your actions there's no escaping what's locked
on the inside so i embrace and accept myself with pride you made me this way you forced me to
this i am what i am i won't be father like son

7. Indifferent Now

you turned your back on me after i opened so much for you you'd see i was always there if
you'd only turned around but your eyes are averted as you stand on your own and your warm
embrace has dissolved into a cold and empty look no longer will i play your game time after
time, standing in line you keep your melancholy my support is gone i withdraw from your
twisted affection i withdraw from your traps and snares i withdraw into my corner indifferent
now, to you, not here how do i erase these marks you've made your barbed hooks have left me
swollen to remove the staines you've left on me i must cleanse myself of this emotion my heart
lies broken by words unspoken to live is to suffer through hurt and regret the pain is all i
know a tortured heart a functionless mass gone cold numbed by the pain of the world now
indefferent to all emotion your presence makes me sick the fire inside has been extinguished
the pain of the burning is all that's left so i embrace it, this suffering lie a functionless
mass lies broken it ceases to pump lacerated, a worthless lump lies cut now form my scars my
torn feelings now turn to scars a crust, a callous a shield to hide from the pain the emotion
once evoked no longer burns the pain has made me immune a hole, where once was warmth now in
a icy void sits my tormented heart that you've destroyed i withdraw from laughing i withdraw
from feeling i withdraw from your tender tough i withdraw from the pain of this flesh i
resign myself to earth and stone

8. Forever Your Enemy

controlled by our world - be leaders leash holders they meddle with every aspect of ou
idialy lives conditioned for silent servitude we live out our lives confined to a cell to
possess a shred of individuality is seen as a threath to their machine instead of nurturing
instead of fostering our growth we force a collar around our necks taught that this is right
by ou "betters" all we can do is wonder as we live out our lives on the end of a leash forced
to bend ourselves to their will to grovel at their feet to answer their commands to live out
our lives on a leash we are broken serving on bended knee vying for their attention to live
out our lives on a leash i've never been much for serving i've a will that was always stronger
and now i've shed their yoke i'll be your slave no longer i'll break out of your collection
of helpless possesions i'll fight against a world of your evil intentions i refuse to play
the part that you've designed for me with you i'll wage my war forever your enemy fire in my
blood alive with a fury with hands cut free forever your enemy your plan for me of quiet
service has failled i see through the cracks in the walls that you've tried to construct i'll
make my transformation from quiet captive to contempt driven foe i'll wage my war with a
fervor unmatched open for all to see i'll tear down false idiols constructed for me and as big
brother watches with my dying breath i'll spit in his face unleashed and transformed forever
your enemy

9. From Cradle To Grave

born to die born into the life of a slave breaking our backs for an early grave living a
live of toil and woe then we die, that's how the story goes to know one's place never step
out of line this rule is set in stone never changing throughout time born to die, born into
service wasting our youth, seving no purpose born to die taking it back, what is dictated
that i give living my life, not dying to live i'll tear it down, break free of this anchor
turn it around create a life that i will horor i wasn't born just to die i'll savor the
treasures of life while i can i wasn't born just to die we weren't born just to die
