Run For Cover

You're soon to feel the affliction
Safe and sound in your wrong direction
Secure from the past soon you'll see
The ones you love the most will suffer last
You cannot run from the past
You better cover your tracks
You cannot hide from the past
You better run for cover
You took the weak way out
Witness protection plan
You chose the wrong way out
NO MAN
Your fate's been sealed, there is no recourse
Indictment so real, there will be no remorse
Everything you had will be no longer
All the pain you've caused has made me stronger
You cannot run from the past
You better cover your tracks
You cannot hide from the past
You better run for cover
You took the weak way out
Witness protection plan
You chose the wrong way out
NO MAN
Be a man, take the fall
It's time to take the stand
Sold your life cause you're no man
You should have swallowed your pride
Do all the time for your crime
Sold your life out for the last time
You can run, but you can't hide
RUN FOR COVER...

Face Down
01:43
|
|||
|
What's up with society?
Punk motherfuckers snitchin' like it's okay
No code of honor like those yesterdays
This fuckin' world has got me in a rage
You bought my brother down
You took my brother down
FUCK THAT, I ain't havin' it
Nor is the crew
So now we're comin' for you, FOR YOU
So now we're comin' for you, FACE DOWN

All As One
04:57
|
|||
|
Times have changed
I can't trust you like a brother no more
You live your life to burn in your small little world
Times get tough, but we always stick it out looking out for our own
ALL AS ONE
Seems you never could see
You could never see through the animosity
No I never can see
I can never see you the same in my eyes
There will always be
There will always be
Nothing but hatred for the lies
As long as I'm alive and you're still alive
MEMORIES AS LONG AS LIFE
ALL AS ONE
Memories as long as...life
MEMORIES
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE
I CAN NEVER FORGET...nothing

Can't Trust 'Em
03:36
|
|||
|
The police locked me down without no evidence
Took me in for questioning, I said "I'm innocent"
But, still I'm sitting in this filthy cell
Injustice system, but there'll be no one to tell
You can't trust the justice system
The justice system's corrupt
Won't support in the system
I can not trust in it
You can't trust the justice system
The justice system's corrupt
Won't support in the system
I can not trust in it, IN YOU
Corruption, everywhere I turn seems like someone's out to burn me
Another crooked cop's on the top playing judge and jury
AGGRESSION
Gotta fight back, let 'em know that it's time they leave us be
You can't trust the justice system
The justice system's corrupt
Won't support in the system
I can not trust in it
You can't trust the justice system
The justice system's corrupt
Won't support in the system
I can not trust in it
HERE COMES THE PAIN
YOU CAN'T TRUST EM
YOU CAN'T TRUST EM
YOU CAN'T TRUST EM
You got to treat your people right
Uphold the law for what it's for
You can not judge who's wrong from right
Police are above the law

Nothing To Prove
02:28
|
|||
|
Got nothing to prove, nothing to prove to you
Got nothing to lose, nothing to lose on you
No shoulder to lean on, nobody to turn to
No one to turn to
I'll burn you alive
Look through these eyes, share a moment in my life
Are you appalled with me? Well, you ought to be
Broke as hell, I have nowhere to turn to
Do what I have to do to survive
Gotta get something, need to get some loot
Never thought I'd be so low
Gotta gotta gotta take control
DOUBLE BARREL BY MY SIDE, GONNA TAKE WHAT'S MINE
Get up, get up, get up, get on your feet

Lessons Of Loss
04:28
|
|||
|
Take it all away, I can't go on living this way
Thank the lord in vain, for all my heartache, for all my pain
See what I'll endure to make me cure, death is the cure
We live to die anyway, I will not flinch
I'm not afraid
When it rains, it pours
There is a lesson to learn from it all
When it rains, it pours
Stand tall, refuse to fall
Stripping my faith away, I can't go on living this way
I will bow to your reign, I will not worship but I believe
When will show your face? Am I not worthy, I'm not a saint
I've given all I can, TAKE MY SOUL...GIVE ME GRAVE
When it rains, it pours
There is a lesson to learn from it all
When it rains, it pours
Stand tall, refuse to fall
If it can go wrong, expect that it will
The more you gain, the more you'll lose
The truth is as real as its consequences
THE ONES WHO BELIEVE ARE THE FOOLS

Pawn Of Shame
03:23
|
|||
|
From day one, you try to play your games
Pawned your shame off for his innocence
Now his life is standing on the line
All this time you knew there was no crime
I think you're lying again
Always playing your games
I think you're lying again
You had to play your games
Now it's his life that's on the line for your malicious lies
Think twice, I'd think twice
Lying again, everyone knows your ways
I think you're lying again, everyone knows your style
Lying again, everyone knew you're wild
I think you're lying again
Now it's his life that's on the line for your malicious lies
I'D THINK TWICE
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Sort through the lies within your mind
Now you think you got 'em, you think you got 'em
Now you think you got' em, all under control
Now you think you got 'em, you think you got 'em
Now you think you got' em, don't fold
Everyone knows your promiscuous ways
Think twice, I'd think twice
YOU KNOW WHAT WE KNOW, THERE WAS NO CRIME

Marked Man
04:24
|
|||
|
My justice, your justice
Real justice for the injustice
I feel it ripping me from inside, I know it's sin to kill
But, this man's got to die
Gonna pay the cost for my loss
With time, your life will be...mine
Gonna fall to the...line
Time will never heal your...crimes
With time, your life will be...mine
Pay the cost for my loss
Time will bring...your fatality
Gonna learn about the loss
In time, you'll see...it's reality
Pay the cost for my loss
Time will bring...your fatality
Gonna learn about the loss
In Time, you'll see THAT YOU'RE A MARKED MAN
MARKED MAN
In time we'll see...
MARKED MAN
VICTORY
So close, so far away
Trust in no one, new American way
Where is your brotherhood? Your talk was tall
Turns out in the end, you had no brotherhood at all
NO BROTHERHOOD AT ALL
NO BROTHERHOOD AT ALL
It's not about the fist to fist no more
You've done the crew wrong, Now your time has come
I see right through your fucking disguise
Your bleeding face I despise, your time's come to die
YOUR TIME'S COME TO DIE
YOUR TIME'S COME TO DIE

Look Back
04:20
|
|||
|
Living your life in fear, your time is here
Living your life in fear, so dry your tears
Living your life in fear, it makes you grow weaker
Living your life in fear, look back
HERE COMES THE REAPER
Why is it every time I look into your eyes?
I see fear of me, fear of thee, fear of me
Why is it every time I look straight in your face?
I see pain and agony, fear of thee, fear of me
I am the reaper
Searching (RUN)
Slashing (HIDE)
Killing (DIE)
I am the reaper
I AM THE REAPER, YOU'LL DIE
So much pleasures in your pain
Your day has come, time to pay
Retaliation, retribution
It's a blast from your past
So much pleasures in your pain
Your day has come, now I reign
REIGN

Rise
03:25
|
|||
|
All shall rise, all shall fall
Let the old die off, let the new be born
Step aside, old man
And let me begin where you left off from
THE NEW REGIME HAS BEGUN
Today isn't what it once was
I have become unjust in your eyes
Unkind conscienceless
I don't give a damn about you
DYING...BREED
Time for me to move on
Society made me what I am
Take what's mine, everything is mine for the taking
Bastard son, I am
Young, free, don't give a damn

God's Hate
04:23
|
|||
|
Bring out your dead, the end is here
All who live, shall live in fear
The second coming of thy Jesus Christ
The second coming may be the KILLING CHRIST
Christ has come to take your life
Make the choice, choose your fate
You cannot quarantine those with nothing to lose
Make the choice, choose your fate
So does your god hate?
THE GOD'S HATE
So does your god hate?
THE GOD'S HATE
Lord up above, thy Jesus Christ
Save us from our own
Lord up above, Jesus Christ
Save us from your world
When it all comes down with no choice, but to choose your sides
In the face of the enemy, would you kill? Could you kill? Burn!
FEAR NO ONE!
Lord up above, thy Jesus Christ
Save us from our own
Lord up above, Jesus Christ
Save us from your world
GOD'S HATE
SAVE US FROM YOUR WORLD
