Stand the strain - blood
Deep cuts and warm blood
Where do you go when everything is wrong?
One night can last for years
Sea of sorrow, river of tears
Into the void, you've felt this way before
Whispered screams, these words are yours
Wounded heart still pumping blood
And in the moonlight all colours begin to change
There is a blackness outside
Scratching like wolves at your door
Jerking figures like skeletons crawling on your floor
One night can last for years
Sea of sorrow, river of tears
There is a void in front of your eyes
Ground cracking, swallowing pain and cries
Is this a nightmare or just the end?
Is this the final direction your life went?
Whom did you follow to this frigging place?
Are these the consequences you have to face?
Traces of blood and bone
Will decay under your gravestone
Will you cry for the last time?
Will you lie for the last time?
Will you fight for the last time?
Will you rethink your life for the last time?
Is this the final goodbye?

walls

Stand the strain - walls
Beyond barbed wire and stones
Hands reach for relief
And they need to pay the ransom for their angst and grief
Unreasonable hatred is what you spread
The fear of the unknown inside your head
You build your tall stories and hold them high
And the blind follow and stop asking why
Mile by mile and stone by stone
A cause for envy and leaving homes
You need more walls, I need less of you
I hope your life ends in hell and devastation too
Won't tolerate the discussion anymore
Won't stop trying to bring you to the floor
You're brutal, you're sickness, you're damning
You, please rot in your home
Perpetuated systems spark the hate through wars
And our masters bargain with oppressors behind closed doors
Political persecution, driven by poverty
I dare your system, I dare your lies
Mile by mile and stone by stone
A cause for envy and leaving homes
You need more walls, I need less of you
I hope your life ends in hell and devastation too
Die, suffer, die
Shall the homeless live and you...

torch

We were once lost with nowhere to go
Right now we face our sorrow
We sang alone in our rooms
Now we sing together, let's sing along
With your broken voice
Take these rusted strings
You don't need fine tuned chords
I don't want to be like them
In the darkest nights
In the coldest days
We've learned to stand and fight
Be the light
We were once lost with nowhere to go
Right now we face our sorrow
We sang alone in our rooms
Now we sing together, let's sing along
To songs of hope
Let's sing along
It's like a torch
Within our hearts
A light that guides
Through the dark
These songs bleed passion
This pure life shit
Sets us apart
To live and breathe
The best of times
Are you still here?
As one we stand?
Strength in numbers?
Raise your voice!
(Pass the torch)
We rise against the grain
We are the discontent
We've been through too much just to turn away
Get on our side
This pure life shit
Sets us apart
To live and breathe
The best of times
Are you still here?
As one we stand?
Strength in numbers?
Raise your voice!
(Pass the torch)
We rise against the grain
We are the discontent
We've been through too much just to turn away
Get on our side
This pure life shit
Sets us apart
To live and breathe
The best of times
Are you still here?
As one we stand?
Strength in numbers?
Raise your voice!
(Pass the torch)
We were... once lost
With nowhere... to go
This pure life shit...
Sets us apart...
Get on our side
A place for the weak
And youthful minds
We rise against the grain
We are the discontent
