I’ll cut your throat with the glass from your house
Stone thrower
We won’t see peace until you are cast out
Brick to teeth
Face to concrete
Are you looking at me or the blood that I bleed?
No peace in the streets when people like me lie dead at your feet
Your mindset is nothing but fashion
Pull the thread and it all falls apart
You walk away with blood red hands
They’re branded criminal from the start
My pride born from struggle
Your pride is hatred disguised
Complacent with your privilege
You refuse to bear witness
We are all born into sin
No purity from the skin you inhabit
Systematic suffering
Ignorance smothering
Stonethrower
I’m not your faggot, your tranny, or nigger
Stonethrower
I won’t play the victim cause your fingers on the trigger
We’ll see which of us is scared
When it’s you lined up on the wall you fucking pig
You have never been a friend to me
I will always be your enemy

All you are is a sheep in wolves clothing
Run as hard as you can
I got my blood behind me
You’ll never wipe away the sweat
Or the blood in my head
No patience and no respect
Your pride is your weakness
You’re nothing but bark without the bite
Out of mind when you’re out of my sight, bitch
You’ve got a debt and I’ve come to collect
You better show me respect or else I’m coming for your neck
All you are is a sheep in wolves clothing
Run as hard as you can
I got my blood behind me
To settle the score
I was made for war
I was born for the hunt
You were born to be my prey you piece of shit
It’s a dog eat dog world
But you show too much teeth
I’ll swallow you whole
You’ll never bite me

Law of the Jungle
03:15
|

Are you painfully aware of the silence that falls around you
And the shadows that creep up your walls
Are you terrified that ghosts from the past have found you
Can you hear them whisper in the dark
Hackles raised, frozen in place, a chill shoots down your spine
Gossamer covering your face, the worm of dread crawling in your mind
Loss of feeling, body heavy, you’ve stepped into the realm of fear
I was born covered in crimson, I’ll go out the same
The clock strikes the hour of violence
Black blood boils in my veins
I dream in red and blue
My body lacerated and bruised
All the pain I have felt
I’ll inflict on you
Dull my senses
Numb my fingers
Distorted lenses
Torture lingers
Forgive not an enemy, waste not time
I’ll show no mercy, won’t expose my back to your knife
Fear, abandonment by the likes of you
Mental mutilation for a clearer view
The law of the jungle says kill or be killed
So step up to my face
Face my rage motherfucker
Sacrifice my soul, ash to ash, dust to dust
Shed my human skin just to quench my bloodlust

Drowning in Vain
03:47
|

|
What will I have if my darkness leaves?
Will I be saved or will simply be empty?
When nothing turns out right and everybody left
I’ll bide my time with greying eyes on the precipice of a jagged edge
I look the void dead in the face
The abyss exists within me
Grasping at threads the mirror breaks
There is no light down here, drowning in vain
If you just sit there and watch me die you better look me in the god damn eyes you bastard
I look the void dead in the face
The abyss exists within me
Grasping at threads the mirror breaks
There is no light down here, drowning in vain
Why would I try to forgive?
When I can’t even start to forget
Crosses I bear that hold me in shame
There is no light down here, drowning in vain

Nothing means nothing and your words are just words
Your actions speak louder that’s a lesson never learned
After everything I’ve done I have nothing left to say youre not stepping on my toes you’re in my fucking way
Leave the past in the past, trim the fat
Eyes focused on tomorrow, following the sun west
Stricken down in my path
Pulled down, pushed back
Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
Nothing to bleed
(Chorus)
Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
I’ve got nothing left to bleed
I wear a mask of scar tissue, everyday it eats into my face
Overcome my pain, severing my chains
On balance, off balance
I won’t lose my malice
Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars
COTC TIL I D I E
I have atoned
Suffered my fate, encased in stone
COTC TIL I D I E
