Radio 1:
P1: Wardog, Wardog, this is MAP 1 Bravo. Contact report!
P2: 1 Bravo, send it.
P1: IED ambush. Unknown number of enemy. Two Marines down. Location, near MSR Iron.
P3: Wardog, this is 3 Bravo. We are one click out, permission to respond, to assist.
P2: Permission granted 3 Bravo.
Verse 1:
We watch drifting sands surrounding the winding Euphrates,
Small tribal towns, small oases of palm trees.
Crisp fall sunrise and morning routines .
Get ready for patrol, infantry Marines.
Shockwaves of explosions rip through the morning's ease.
An attack has begun, our stomachs seize.
Verse 2:
Lock and load, don our gear, roll out to assist,
Hearts pump from excitement and fear.
Racing down dirt roads, we see the plume of smoke.
Bearing down on the enemy, Hell's fury awoke!
Near the main road we hit what would be our demise.
An angry orange monster comes to consume our lives.
Radio 2
P1: Wardog, this is 3 Bravo. Contact report, over.
P2: 3 Bravo, go ahead.
P1: Lead vehicle has struck IED just before reaching MSR Iron. Unknown casualties.
Verse 3
Awake to the main gun, twisted to the air.
Pierced flesh bites as shots ring clear.
See brothers bleeding and cursing in pain.
Metal pieces fall as if steel rain.
The pings of ricochet startle as impacts come through
Snapping out of a daze, got work to do.
Radio
P1: Wardog, Wardog, this is 3 Bravo. Standby for medivac report.
P2: 3 Bravo, standing by.
P1: Two KIA, three urgent surgical, three ambulatory wounded from our squad and 1 Bravo. Request air.
Verse 3
Lives lost, lives scarred, though we won the day.
Souls torn apart, we mourn and pray.
Two more Marines now guard Heaven's gates.
Those of us who survived, ponder our fates.
3 Bravo did the job, though not enough to save
Two lives of our brothers, in ways we live with that shame.
Two lives of our brothers, we’re all forever changed
A toast to our brothers, fallen.
For you accepted the highest calling.
In your honor we live on.
You may be lost, but never forgotten.

Look at the Flowers
03:55
|
|||
|
Who's blood is that
Dripping from your hands
Why'd you do it
Help me understand
Can't you see they
They can't be just like us
Mourn them now, or
Lose my failing trust
And look at the flowers
Sisters, babies
All the same to you
Make them dead so
They can start anew
In your sick mind
No difference can you see
So wash your hands and
Take a walk with me
To look at the flowers
Looking back I should have seen, but
Saving you's no "might have been"
You're broken mind can't be repaired
Wish there was more I could have shared
All that's left has taken shape
No, your deeds can't be erased
Your soul is lost
Walking to the field
You cannot see
Living and Dead as One
It's not meant to be
Don't say sorry
Your words are Dead Sound
Do not cry and
Do not turn around
Just look at the flowers
Had to let you go
And leave this place
I do not want
Reminders of your face
I hope you didn't
Think I was unkind
We're only safe if we
Leave you behind
To look at the flowers
Just look at the flowers

Pushing You Away
05:50
|
|||
|
Sitting in this room, alone but not alone
People talking, people laughing
All I want is to go home
Then I'm pulled aside
Feeling alone because you're not here
Facing the Truth, the fight is near
Pushing you away (you know I don't mean it)
Screaming from the pain (please help me, make it stop)
Running far away (keep me in your sight)
Pushing you away
People pushing for the Truth
Asking questions, breaking through
Tears are forming, stomach knotting
Having trouble holding back
I hope you're ready for the Truth
I promise
It will set you free
Pushing you away (you know I don't mean it)
Screaming from the pain (please help me, make it stop)
Running far away (keep me in your sight)
Pushing you away
Now it's over, questions stop
Breathing slowly, your eyes drop
To the ground, nothing to say
Told you it would be this way
Fear from the Truth
Of what has been done to me.
And yet you still deny
I accept and forgive
I will not live this way
I won't push you away (It's time to move on)
There will be no more pain (I've opened up my eyes)
And I won't run away (if you'll stay by my side)
Now I'm done
I'm done

84 Rising
04:39
|

|
Who controls the past, controls the future.
Who controls the present, controls the past.
Death's destruction all around.
Eerie silence the only sound.
War torn buildings, smoke all over.
Death's stench o'er the ground hovers.
O'er the ground hovers.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
84 Rising!
Definitions are changing
History rewritten
Doublespeak from forked tongues,
Wrongthink forbidden.
Wrongthink forbidden.
Surveillance state sees
Every word and all your moves
The Party seeks power
For its own sake
And in the face of pain
There are no heroes.
84 Rising!
The best books... are those that tell you what you already know

Filth
03:55
|
|||
|
I sit here in the Filth all day.
Wasting my life, wasting away.
Why must I feel this way?
Got to escape.
Got to break away.
They send us away what seems a million months.
Said goodbye to my wife, I haven't met my son.
This hatred, it has taken control.
I've lost my faith,
And I'm losing my soul.
You said that there would be no harm
But I watched my best friend dyin' in my arms.
All for someone else's cause.
We've been fighting so hard
Yet I feel we've lost.
Even when I go back to my home,
Everyone looks at me like I've done something wrong.
When can I get away from this place?
Away from everything that I hate.
I sat here in this Filth all day.
Wasted most my life,
I've wasted away.
Why did it have to be this way?
Why couldn't I escape?
Never quite break away.
Never quite break these chains.
Looking back you realize
That you may come home
But you never truly leave.
Your war is over
But the battle rages on
To my brothers and my sisters
I am with you and I feel your pain
Semper Fidelis

What You Think
04:13
|
|||
|
I'm exactly who you think I am
Tell yourself once or twice again
Don't get to know me or hear what I say
Cause that would alter you and get in the way
Time will pass but you won't see
Who it is I'm trying to be
I'm not perfect, never said I was
But I'm doing better and I know because
I'm walking... In that direction
Shine a spotlight over here or there
Keep searching for the truth if you dare
Look for my dirt if it makes you feel right
And when you find some hold it up to the light
What you don't know is I'm fully aware
I'm unclean, I didn't always care
I'm not perfect, never said I was
But I'm doing better and I know because
I'm walking... In that direction
If you'd have asked I would have shared
And got to know me if you had cared
You're more in love with your own mind
Than getting my soul, you'd rather be blind
I don't hide who I am any more
I got tired of keeping score
I'm not perfect, never said I was
But I'm doing better and I know because
I'm walking
I SAID I'M WALKIN’
Ooo I'm Walkin’
In that direction

Talk to Me
03:40
|
|||
|
Man, I gotta bitch about something for a minute
I mean, maybe you can relate
Happens to a lot of us....
Well hell, here goes nothing
They say the street
Ain't no kind of place
To meet
But where else can I
Go to find
The heat
Then I see her
Strutting my way
So I turn my
Head to say
Be sweet and take a
Minute to
Talk to me
Yeah, she kept walkin
And birds go "tweet"
I had to give it a shot, right?
Signed on to the
Dating Site
Again
Yeah, again....
Saw her pics
Put me on the floor
My friend
So I sent her a message that said
We should meet and break some bread
Drinks on me all I want is
You to talk to me
Am I trying too hard?
Well, she wouldn't say
I showed all my cards
But she won't play
Lady Luck give
Me some moves
I'll change my look
I'll get new shoes....
I'm sure that'll do it!
It's not me, is it?
Nah!
Get serious!
One more time
I swear this time
I'm gonna get it Right!
Right?
Get her callin on me
Then I can the one to put up a Fight!
Yeah, Right!
She won't tell me
What it takes
Cause that would violate
Those little rules
That she has made
Against talkin to me
Well if you don't get it by now
I guess I could put it this way....
I've figured it out
It'll never be
She won't talk to me
I'm moving on
I'm walking away
There's other women to see!
And I'll tell them what it takes, yeah
Cause they can't violate
All they have to do is trust in Fate
And just talk to me
Come talk to me!
Just talk to me!
Please, just talk to me!

2,000 Sons
04:17
|
|||
|
Their father's had pledged
To never kill again
Strong, greedy enemies
Preyed on the weak.
For family, for liberty,
2,000 Sons
Took up arms in their place.
Who were these boys?
So great their love!
Looking for strength
From God above
Took on themselves
What their fathers could not
Ensuring survival
Giving no second thought
They never had fought
But they did not fear death
The cause of liberty was more
Precious than life
They were taught by their mothers
If they did not doubt
God would deliver them
So they had no doubt
God, our Father, Hear our cry!
Help us stand, help us fight!
God, in you we place our trust
God, in you we find our Might!
Into battle they march
Outnumbered, not trained
With God at their side
They rush to the field
Fighting intense
Blood flowing free
So much at stake
Using every strategy
God, our Father, Hear our cry!
Help us stand, help us fight!
God, in you we place our trust
God, in you we find our Might!
They fought for their homes
With courage and pride
Dust settled, all counted
2,000 still stood
Trust in their God
Pulled them all through
Why were none killed?
Their mothers knew!
2,000 Sons
Marched off to war
All of those Sons
Came home alive!
None hesitated
To stand for their Tribe
Their story is their
Monument!

Upheaval
04:30
|
|||
|
So many of us are drawn
And end up in the race
But once the Upheaval starts
There's no end to The Chase
When it all started
It just got me high
Now I can't live without it
But it doesn't get me by
Guess I should have known
How things would turn out
Saw it happen to others
But I let myself doubt
I get what I need and drift away
Sailing through clouds
I'm leaving the fray
My mind is free
But my body's a slave
Another Upheaval
No longer have say
Start coming down
I’m searching again
Chasing that rush
To hide from my pain
Feeling the panic
Wearing me down
World falls apart
Turns upside down
Crashing again
I cannot stand this shit
But I can't stop either
Behold, my Requiem!
Another round starts
It's harder to catch
Can't stop the itch
And now it's harder to scratch
Can't run any faster
I'm losing this race
But that doesn't matter
I can't stop The Chase
I get what I need and drift away
Sailing through clouds
I'm leaving the fray
My mind is free
But my body's a slave
Another Upheaval
No longer have say
Don't cry for me, I'm
Already dead
I give you this warning
Let it burn in your head
Better to live life
With just getting by
Than trying to alter
Through Chasing a High
The Chase leads to Upheaval!
Chase leads to Upheaval!
Upheaval
