WISDOM IN CHAINS LYRICS

1. Defend Protect

In my house and on my street
I feel a movement beneath my feet
Coming closer, it's almost here
A storm is gathering, handcuffs shackling

I won't go easy!
A nation of millions gonna back me up
We'll stand together and speak as one and say
Get your hand out of my pocket now

I am not a child
Don't hold me by the wrist
We don't need your permission
We're just trying to exist
We are not your slaves
We don't owe you shit
You feel that turning tide
But you can't turn with it

For this land I will defend as long as I do occupy
I will protect the ones I love with all the love I have inside
Light a fuse, light a fire - Burn it hotter, burn it higher
Fuck you pig! You'll feel ashamed
You can't stop this ever changing wind

You should know you'll never hold back that wind
No no, it's gonna blow blow blow
This old tired world is coming down and you're going down
You're going down with it

We will not be moved as we throw fuel onto this fire
You feel it burning everywhere - defend protect
And we are all like wind blowing out across this fire
Spreading out to every land - defend protect
And I will not back down and you cannot put out this fire
I belong on any land - defend protect

2. Block Out The Sky

Don't you dare try to look away
You burned the sea and torched the sky
You drilled the earth and sucked it dry
You killed the world, you let it die
Don't you dare try to look away

Outside you're a demon, inside you're a ghost
Revered by many, unseen by most
You murder nations with no remorse
Don't you dare try to look away

Don't turn from the damage that you've done
Black out the sky, black out the sun
Twisted faces looking back
They see you have no honor

A prison planet on its knees
Imprisoned people, everyone
We are the dominant disease
Black out the sky, black out the sun

No, don't you dare try to look away

3. Traveling

I never liked to wander
Far from my home
But sometimes my bones get restless
Like they're telling me it's time to go
So if you can't reach me
And wonder where I've been
Baby please don't worry
Please just smile for me cos I'm traveling

But you know that you're with me
For every step I take
And I will never walk alone
You're right here with me all the way
And I carry inside me all the love you ever gave
And it keeps me warm at night
Whether I'm close or far away

I never liked to wander
Far from my home
But sometimes my bones get restless
Like they're telling me it's time to go
So if you can't reach me
And wonder where I've been
Baby please don't worry
Please just smile for me cos I'm traveling

Then it happens when the time comes
When I'm lost and all alone
A reminder, a momento
Gotta find my way back home
So I reach out to the unknown
Cos I know you're always there
Always pulling me back to you like a signal in the air

When I leave this body
And I reach the stars
There's no need to worry
Don't cry for me cause I'm traveling

4. Peace To My Family

I'll fucking kill you
And I'll kill everything you love if you ever try to fuck with me again
This is our story
So don't think for a second you're immune to the common flaw of man

It goes “peace to my family, death to my enemies” since the human race began
We are loyal and protective
But violence and vengeance
Can steer us directly to an end

So peace to my family, death to my enemies

Peace to my family
And death to my enemies

Peace to my family

Death to my enemies

5. My Friend

My friend if I tell you one thing in my life, let it be this
You have to stick by your family
And know the difference from your friends and from your enemies
You have to be strong and pay your dues
You have to stand up for yourself, and never be used
You need to know you're loved and I care
Remember one thing
I'll always be there

Whoa my friend
Times may change, it all may end
Whoa my friend
Look what we got - we're here again
I don't need much, just my family and you
Be there for me, and I'll be there for you
And I promise you
We'll fight our way out with our backs against the wall

Not much is more important
Than true friends in this life
You may move on and go your own way
But I'm telling you that's all right
Because you know when I need you
You're just a call away
And I know you'll do the right thing
And drop everything to be with me

Whoa my friend [x2]

You know what
It's hard to even imagine
Not having you guys around

I don't need much just my family and you
You're gonna be there for me, and me for you
I'm gonna tell you how I feel once and for all
We will fight with our backs against the wall

Whoa my friend
Times may change, it all may end
Whoa my friend
Look what we got - we're here again
I don't need much, just my family and you
You gotta be there for me, and me for you
And I promise you
We'll fight our way out with our backs against the wall

Whoa my friend

6. Don't Bring Me Down

You think you're breaking out
Gonna leave this nowhere town
Trying to escape the future
You refuse to bow out and lay down
You think you're better than the filth
Of where you come from
Well, I got news for you boy
You always were a worthless one

No, don't bring me down
You've never been strong enough
You never had a good idea
You never finish what you start
What makes you think you're getting out of here?

Some people give us hope
Some places drag us down
Some people build us up
Some people wanna make you drown
No, don't bring me down

Fuck that
You gotta keep rising
Head up and don't look back till you get to where you're going
Don't listen to word these haters say

No, don't bring me down [x2]
If you can't help me that's okay
But I won't let you bring me down

7. The Missing Links (Annunaki Genetics)

The hard truth is better than a comfortable lie so
Who are we really, I'm feeling so deprived
Give me the answers I've always tried to find
Through books written way before my time

Those tales of men who were so wise
Manipulating a truth so well disguised
Those tales of life after the tides wiped it all away
Mistakes they tried to hide

Who were we before Eve gave us life
And who is Adam, an experiment, a guise?
Who am I, an experiment, a lie
I feel we're all blind to the truth but where does it lie?

It's all written but we won't look or listen
There's too much pain in the truth, in that wisdom
We're all links in a chain, but something's missing
Maybe the answer's in a place not so distant

Where do we come from, that's the plight of humankind
Are those ancient ruins a reference, a time line?
Did they come to ruin us or help define
What we would ultimately become in due time

If those stories of gods enslaving minds
Holds any weight then I've defied my kind
There's no glory in tainting human life
But I'm no follower so I still search to find

Some sign that there's more to this life
The folklore and religions that divide
It's all true or it's all a fucking lie
It's all proof none of us know where our souls reside

It's all written but we won't look or listen
There's too much pain in the truth, in that wisdom
We're all links in a chain, but something's missing
Maybe the answer's in a place not so distant

8. Snakes

You dumb motherfucker
You sold it all for a bowl of beans
Now you gotta live with it

I'm done with you, I'm writing you off
You tried to fake me out, but dumb motherfuckers get caught
It's a small-small world and I got eyes and ears that's everywhere
You can't talk to people that talk to me
About shit you don't want me to hear
Cos when it gets back to me I'll be madder than a motherfucker ready to fight

Fuck you! You never should have lied to me
I remember every word that you ever said
Fuck you! You never should have lied to me
Why you wanna be my enemy?
Fuck you! I can't believe the shit you do to a friend again and again
Fuck you! You never should have lied to me
I don't trust you fucking snakes

If you believe in the good book
History says that a snake told the very first lie
I guess you chose your path
And now you have to live with regrets
And the shame that comes with your name until you die

Fuck you!
We should have been like family
But you saw it differently
Now there's nothing that I can do
Fuck you!
Do you got something to prove?
Or maybe you don't like the crew
And you thought you had to choose
Fuck you!
We can take it to the streets
If you really wanna settle the beef
But I'm content with letting you keep your fucking distance
Fuck you!
I don't follow scene politics
I just really love this music
And I got no time for the extra curricular bullshit

If you got no time for me than I say that we let it be
I know hardcore from beginning to end
It's the same old story again

You never should have lied to me
I remember every word that you ever said
Fuck you! You never should have lied to me
Why you wanna be my enemy?
Fuck you! I can't believe the shit you do to a friend again and again
Fuck you! You never should have lied to me
I don't trust you anymore
I don't trust you fucking snakes

9. Ghost Of Buddy

Let me tell you about a friend I knew
I loved Buddy and he loved me too
Let me tell you about a friend I knew
And now I see reminders in every room

We locked eyes as he passed away
Just like we locked eyes on the very first day
Let me tell you about a friend I knew
His love was unconditional

Whoa - Ghosts of Buddy are all I see
Whoa - But I don't mind the old boy haunting me

Let me tell you about a friend I see
I feel you standing next to me
Let me tell you about a friend I see
I get chills every time that I see your leash

In the bedroom, in the floorboards
In the gravestone where we buried you in the backyard
Let me tell you about a friend I see
When I close my eyes you're running through my dreams

Whoa - Ghosts of Buddy are all I see
Whoa - But I don't mind the old boy haunting me

Hey! I heard you sigh in the night and it woke me from a dream
Hey! One time I swear you were scratching at the back door
Hey Hey! Two times I saw your shadow sitting at the foot of my bed
Hey! I hope you find peace
And one day run with Nase through fields of green

Whoa - Ghosts of Buddy are all I see
Whoa - But I don't mind the old boy haunting me

10. Top Of The World

11. In Case You Forgot

Thinking back on a promise I made a lifetime ago
I look in your eyes and I know I'm home
The world's falling down around us
This world is always testing us just to see
How much we'll take until we break and fall apart
But I've never been a weakling
So I'm telling you now like I told you then

Whether we laugh or if we cry
Make no mistake, I want you by my side
I'll do whatever it's gonna take
To give you what you need, I'll keep you safe
If it's mine, then it's yours
There's no separation anymore because we came together
That's how I wanna leave
I'll carry that burden till my heart don't bleed
And I ain't going out without a fight

A simple resolution has become who I am
This is my constitution
It goes deeper than paper and pen
Much deeper than words
It means more now than it did back then
Life is cruel if you can't rely on the ones you love
But I've never been a quitter
I told you then but I'm gonna say it again

Whether we laugh or if we cry
Make no mistake, I want you by my side
I'll do whatever it's gonna take
To give you what you need, I'll keep you safe
If it's mine, then it's yours
There's no separation anymore because we came together
That's how I wanna leave
I'll carry that burden till my heart don't bleed
And I ain't going out without a fight

12. Sleep

Your eyes starts drifting away
And times keeps slipping away

Sleep, it never comes easy if it even comes at all
But that's probably for the best
You can keep you rest 'cause I don't want it anymore
It steals my time
A waste of life
A waste of breath
A drain on my sanity
I walk alone at night
Just waiting for the day

I'll never sleep again
I don't want it, I don't need it anymore
[x2]

I never sleep
I lie down, I toss and turn all night
I get up and pace the floors
Until the dark turns into night
I never sleep
She's coming, she's trying to steal my breath
But I stay strong
I won't be charmed by the cousin of death

Sleep, it never comes cheap
Believe she's coming to harvest the weak
She whispers softly with gentle sighs
If you lie down never close both eyes
That tired feeling isn't real - It's a trap
The devil needs a soul to steal
It's a battle of wills, a nocturnal fight
You gotta outlast the night

I'll never sleep again
I don't want it, I don't need it anymore
[x2]

I never sleep
I lie down, I toss and turn all night
I get up and pace the floors
Until the dark turns into night
I never sleep
She's coming, she's trying to steal my breath
But I stay strong
I won't be charmed by the cousin of death

Stay awake

13. Victorium
