PATH OF RESISTANCE LYRICS

1. Can't Stop The Truth

We've broken the bread
You can't be forced to eat
Rung the alarm endlessly
Couldn't kill the sleep
Doubters and flakes
Liars and fakes
Turn backs on consequence
While sealing others' fates
You can live a life of lies
You can disregard the proof
You can even kill your own conscience
But you can't stop the truth

Brothers and sisters
Family and friends
It's for the meek we fight
The oppressed we defend
In this time of deception
In this time of decay
Open your heart
Let love rule
Compassion lights our way
You can live a life of lies
You can disregard the proof
You can even kill your own conscience
But you can't stop the truth

There was a time our word was our pride
Now valor lies bleeding, morals in decline
These years have distilled my resentment and rage
Time to get right, plan our fight
Rebirth today

2. What Propaganda Hides

Suppress what gnaws, nurture the myths
In the silence of their conscience
Cut through excuses til I clearly see
Truth not opinion, fact not fantasy
Sentient beings' freedoms denied
Fight to see through what propaganda hides
Fight to see through fight to see through
What propaganda hides
Controlled and caged, an existence of torment
In pain and sickness an entire life's spent
Stun bolt shattered skull to be killed is their fate
For the moment their flesh is set on a plate
Hatred, scorn and slander
My reward for the truth I've taught

Demons burn to smash the bearer of the mirror that flatters not.

3. Against The Gale

These are the hours where our souls are tested
Their resolve weakens
While the storm strengthens
I won't share in their dismal fate

As time passes the pressure intensifies to just give in
To be swept over and down to never return again
Tattered and torn
Taken by the wind
Frantic hands grasp to pull me under with them
The waves, the rocks, the tower on the shore
The light shines through the dark
Steer by it and be sure against the gale
Hold fast
Committed for life
With my skeleton crew
We will last even through this night
Hold fast the faithful.

4. Promethean

It's for the future we fight now!
Sociopaths without burden of conscience
Full speed ahead on knowledge's quest
While the ignorant and selfish Frankenstein genetics
And tell us it's for our best
How can I not fight what I depise
When I see the future in my children's eyes.

Serpents of deception
Whisper promises to beckon in
On my word through thick and thin
I pledge my heart not to give in.

G.enetic M.onster O.rganism
Bioengineered
Designer disease disseminates
Real terror begins
Realms of science fiction now real, morality tales unheard
Promethean fire scorches the wind, no land undisturbed.

5. Into Emptiness

Silver-tongue devils beckon with fantasies
Fools chase after unattainable dreams
Casting illusions of beauty and success
View the world through a sick lens of selfishness
All that glitters is all that matters
Worth and status through what's acquired
Item after item swallowed into emptiness
It's just a little further till the oasis
Item after item swallowed into emptiness
It's just a little further until the abyss.

RFID and its profiteers
With convenience take our lives
Kill the last vestige of privacy
Every wall they see behind
All that glitters is all that matters
Worth and status through what's acquired
Item after item swallowed into emptiness
It's just a little further till the oasis
Item after item swallowed into emptiness
It's just a little further to the abyss.

6. Haunted

Dissatisfaction, it haunts you, you fail to question why
Drugs of solace consumed to fill the void, unrest pacified
Willingly you've gone along, content to be deceived
Anesthetize any resistance to the fantasy perceived
Running from the symptoms, suppress the pain, medicate confusion
Spend to emphasize exterior, maintain the illusion
Accept chemicals and surgeries, prevention is denied
Consumption without consequence, your life's intent's a lie
Self-destruction is what's packaged, promoted and sold as fun
The conditioning of future addicts has already begun
Legal or illegal their message is clear and you buy in
Work your life away, spend to ease the pain
Rapacious hunger never satisfied
In your state assisted suicide!

Ears shut eyes closed, in your mind you're running
Do your best to hide but the plague is coming
Be not deceived.

7. Best Of My Best

Won't stray from the path that my heart has set for me
Disconnect myself from all the cruelty
When I look back there is nothing that I could regret
The best of my best, best of my best when I am compassionate
Vanity, laziness put to an end to that weakness
Took the time met my goal till I was free from the sickness

Fields of grain for feed waste wild land
Pollution from factory farms
Bacteria contaminates
None escape unharmed
The horrors of the slaughter house
To most their awareness is nil
Time to face the issue, force the answer
Its better not to kill
An unsustainable, destructive process
Weigh it out, don't deny
Its time to leave it all in the past

When I look back there is nothing that I could regret
The best of my best.

8. Blood Trail

Follow the blood trail
Follow the blood trail

How could there not be wars among us
When the meekest of the meek
Are tortured and crushed.
Hung inverted from a cold steel chain
Throat cut for their lifesblood to drain.

Follow the blood trail
Follow the blood trail

Trace the horror back to its source
With disaster mankind's
On a collision course.
Strip away the forests
For more grazing land.
Cattle bred and slaughtered
And consumed by man.

Follow the blood trail
Follow the blood trail
Back into your mind.

9. The Mission

Here we are assembled in glory and in faith
Screaming private prayers in a public place
Expose the causes, extract corruption, proclaim the antidote
Track down the demons in your mind and cut the bastards' throats
To eradicate, defend, liberate and to ascend
This is our mission
Denying temptation, uplifting fallen brethren
This is our mission.

Disprove we're mere monsters of genetics and society
Freewill is ours to claim, accept the responsibility
Deny this popular culture of death, refuse to consent defeat
The truth is on our side, a mission to complete

Time is short, stay the course.

To educate, defend, liberate and to ascend
This is our mission
It's not just a diet or the things you consume,
It's a reconstruction of attitude
This is our mission.

10. Occulted Hand

The unrighteous and the insane have all written the rules
Indoctrinated from the bottle age continued by their schools
Is this not the great BABYLON?
How you are fallen in my eyes
Molten images of confusion refused by the wise.

Pyramids, obelisks, all their plots and plans
Outstretched strings from occulted hands.

Their forces are invisible and they deter our lives
Systems set against us, pressure not to try
Despised by the masses, maligned by the hordes
Cause we won't worship their masters, won't subserve their lords
March the long mile of virtue undistracted by false rest.
Through fire and through water, unto the gates of death.

Pyramids, obelisks, all their plots and plans
Outstretched strings from occulted hands.

11. At Full Strength

Cheap talk to leach onto a name
Cheap shot their way to easy fame
Clowns with their games for hype
Spotlight seeking parasites
All the weakness sickens me
As the substance fades away
Tiny tyrants and the washout rate
Sick of all the useless fakes
This is not for pride or gain
It's our culture that you profane

Noise and fury hollow shells
Draining to an empty well
Leaching from the lifesblood that creates
The struggle's no concern to the ones who take
Tantrums sound and fashion trends
Only cool when they need something from your friends
Surface level rebellion
When the message drains it's all doused and done.

Fairness, dedication, loyalty, compassion, commitment, ferocity
After all this time it still means the same thing to me
STILL AT FULL STRENGTH INSIDE MY HEART

What we fought for unified, it's too precious to let it die
Turn a spark into a blaze to guide the lost out of the dark
Harsh to keep it vital, not to belittle or exclude
Years go by still true
The hardcore they can't dilute
At full strength
STILL AT FULL STRENGTH INSIDE MY HEART

12. Intro

13. That Golden Day

Relentless images glamorize and advertise
Saturate our psyches til most absorb the lies
Downplay the danger until all caution fades
Through a rose tinted lens a fantasy portrayed
Freedom through submission, watch all the lemmings run
Closer to the precipice, that damage can't be undone
Synthetic escapism where did all the years go
Lost in an inebriated blur going nowhere slow.

Won't conform to a mindset that breeds self destruction
Life's too short to waste the days in a daze of poison
Stood alone with the truth inside among the deceived
Til the day I claim the title for what I believe
I will hold true

True to my vow
Loyal for eternity
I've passed the test of time
Among the slaves I walk free

Straight Edge
