1: Davidian Blind man ask me forgiveness I won't deny myself Disrespect you have given Your suffering's my wealth I feed off pain, force fed to love it And now I swallow whole I'll never live in the past Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast Burn my fist to the concrete My fear is my strength Power, rage unbound because Been pounded by the streets Cyanide blood burns down the skyline Hatred is purity The bullet connects at last Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast Scarred Pour the salt in the wound Unscarred 2: Old I am the man that defends all things profane 6000 years is the time that I shall reign And with a grin drank the blood of holy swine Impurity made the blood turn into wine Chorus: Old man, dead hand If only their insanity The lie feeds off their greed Jesus wept I am the pain that feeds off your weakness A sickening born of hate, not of the blessed And with the time I will crush all things you prey Destroying all from the known to the arcane Chorus Burn my eyes and try to blind me Bury me so they won't find me Try to suck my power empty Got no crown of thorns on me So burn my eyes and try to blind me Bury me so they won't find Try to suck my power dry You got no crown of thorns on me Chorus 3: A thousand lies What is a man that stays true to the game But has to cheat a little to get by Well that is a person that I know to well Don't want to know, but I don't have to ask why Everyone like a loaded gun You want some shit, I'll fuckin' pound you, son Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin' I gotta vent or else I blow inside Pre-chorus: Introspection, termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long Chorus: You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies been told a thousand times Hard as nails, the power to survive What is a man that stays true to the game But can't believe some of the things he sees Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down In poverty there is no democracy Used needle and a crack vile A broken bottle and a bullet shell This urban life is so volatile An inner city or a concrete hell Pre-chorus Chorus What is a man don't stay true to the game Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed He's playin' God killin' thousands of people 'Cause the power is the fix that he needs Racist goal of the white devil I watched our souls burnin' over oil A politician got no feelin' It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil Pre-chorus Chorus 4: None but my own I am only nothing, I am only this I am just a man with these two fists You have asked forgiveness You have asked respect Only something that you did forget All you gave you had planned to take Beat upon me but I won't break Stripping everything from me? No! Will to me your anger, will to me your rage Will to me your lies, your sufferings Not a man of virtue, not even a man Will not take the hate dealt from your hands Years of pain I will take and hone Manifest with your broken bones My heart bleeds for none but my own My own Burn Burn I am only nothing, I am only this I am just a man with these two fists Not a man of virtue, not even a man Will not take the hate dealt from your hands Years of pain I will take and hone Manifest with your broken bones My heart bleeds for none but my own My own Burn Burn My heart bleeds for none but my own... 5: The rage to overcome This world does not want me This world does not care And I am a product of this world Confused, I'd say that's fair This pain will never leave me It's scared upon my brain Destroying everything that brought this Just to keep me, just to keep me sane A hatred burns inside me Emotion out of hand But I've the will to focus this Survive, contrive, command From pain come a courage The strength from injustice The rage to overcome it all An open mind With a closed fist 6: Death church Well I look at justice in a different light I been to jail, it didn't make me right Try and conform, but won't be deaf, blind, dumb Been beaten down, just harder I've become Chorus: Death church rising Hate church rising Lost church rising Death church rising Hey Jesus can't you help me with my pain Mainline me some religion, keep me sane Christ suffering upon my TV screen Send in your money to the faith obscene Chorus Strength, truth and honor, words I strive to live Your faith's profane, it takes, never gives 'Cause I'm gonna die standing upon my feet You're gonna die groveling on your knees Chorus 7: A nation on fire Well I see, I feel On my way You close your eyes, scared to think You might see A world that spends more to kill than to cure Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure It hardens me, the things I see But I won't break, it gives me strength Chorus: Our suffering, won't always be We'll dominate, this nation on fire The media it Blinds our eyes A people divided And force feds lies The black and white societies corrode Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes So take my hand across this land I won't go down, stand my ground Chorus This nation's built on fighting war after war And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for 'Cause I won't break, Your truth is fake If blood ran red, You's leave me for dead A nation on fire A nation on fire You tell me peace, Well I hear gunshots all night The scars I have, I've earned 'cause I've had to fight An endless pain, and it won't change We just sat by, and watched this world die A nation on fire A nation on fire 8: Blood for blood I bite the hand 'cause this hand feeds off me Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you Friend you did claim this Too bad you can't speak the truth Chorus: Give respect 'Cause the rule is blood for blood Beatings is what you'll inherit this time Fast bait, your new name Your pain is my shine Pulverize and break Determination Pleasure I negate Your pain brings me salvation Chorus I was born of tension Anger came from frustration I can't back down from aggression Some hard knocks taught me this lesson Chorus 9: I'm your God now So pain told you to take her Well I learned to accept that feeling 'Cause I found how to numb it If only for just a short while I'd get so high, I'd forget my own name I scarred my fist, I scarred my brain I think that i'm going insane I think that I'm going insane So Drink up, so shoot in Why must this feeling end I crawled in my narcotic shell Was crucified in my own hell A gutter's where I found myself Among the waste I chose to dwell I chose to dwell So now I'm in your system And I'm what helps you numb your pain With time you will confide in me So lonely my friend, I've made you lose control You'll use me more and more with time Our friendship grows with each mainline So glad that you could be so blind So glad that you could be so blind So drink up, so shoot in 'Cause I'll make this feeling end I built you this narcotic shell I crucifies you in your hell Your life not yours, you're just my slave I am your messiah of pain And time has come to Time has come to, time has come to There is no time to pray 'Cause I'm your God now 11: Block Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen the decimation of all that is pure pure A system that feeds the machine with the blood, sweat and money of the poor poor Corruption gets rich, honesty just exists 'cause nobody cares anymore anymore Fuck it all Fuck it all White attack black, black attack back the fuckin' media keeps us all blind blind Children on crack, junkies on smack you wanna close your eyes to hide hide Pollution so dense, sickening existence new world order, new world decline Fuck it all Fuck it all The more the sense of ignorance The more intense is the pain Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen the decimation of all that is pure pure A system that feeds the machine with the blood, sweat and money of the poor poor Believe in something if it stops your suffering 'cause all we have is nothing nothing Fuck it all Lyrics in plain text format
