In For The Kill ground troops are chasin the whites of your eyes close all the doors and take a word from the wise arm personnel and deploy in the sand drive like a knife through the heart of the land the heart of the land where time stood still against our will won't get no rest until we're in for the kill bombs over head will make you fall to your knees warheads are launched with infectious disease no place to run to and nowhere to hide so why did you take us along for the ride? along for the ride where time stood still against our will won't get no rest until we're in for the kill 3.

Burn falling apart at the seams but rolling as fast as we can we're searching for some in betweens and answers from only a man who promised to help us to live and begged us to borrow our trust I gave it with not much to give a lie to my face was unjust that wasn't how it was suppose to be so stand in line and wait your turn cause there's injustice for all to see fan the flames and watch it burn recklessly crushing your dreams they leave us forever in debt well nothin's as good as it seems if this is as good as it gets desperately clinging to hope they raised us to merely exist we pick up the pieces to cope cause we are the last on their list that wasn't how it was suppose to be so stand in line and wait your turn cause there's injustice for all to see fan the flames and watch it burn dry my eyes, and all fall from grace tell no lies, to my face hear my call, and take your stand reject all, rise and fall 11. All Fall Down it's the crime of the centry and millions are killed the cupboards are empty and pockets are filled a vicous intention to cut like a knife in light of redemption you fight for your life innocence is lost and it cannot be found hence the holocaust tis' in sorrow we drown all fall down now the guns are for hire to kill on command we jump in the fire the time is at hand we'll keep it together and take it to heart this hopeless endeavor till death do us part innocence is lost and it cannot be found hence the holocaust tis in sorrow we drown all fall down 12. F.S.U. feel as strong as an ox the psilocybin was laced with dust suicidal's on the box and kids are goin' fuckin nuts starin at the face of death a poster child who fits the bill takes a break to catch a breath lost and lonely, voids to fill fall into a psychopathic rage from within I've been there and back since half my age and to hell I've been severing the hand on which we feed, is not enough status quo don't satisfy thy need to fuck shut up overdose is on the rise lips are cold and eyes are black it might be best to cut your ties friends are falling through the cracks time to taste the bitter pill it's hard to swallow and tough to chew make the promise that you will think of better things to do I know what it's like to feel your pain, and I know it hurts most confess to acting quite the same, and maybe worse severing the hand from which we feed, is not enough status quo don't satisfy thy need to fuck shut up Line-up: Gary Meskil - Bass / Vocals Tom Klimchuck - Lead Guitar Eric Klinger - Rhythm Guitar Eric Matthews - Drums
