[Intro] Zola Zola Zola schukada *repeats* [Pre-verse] The time has finally come A three day solstice Without any sun [Verse] You must conceive me Or you cannot believe me But now that I'm breathing It takes your breath away To see me, to smell me To feel me, to fill me You created This abomination [Pre-chorus] Feed on the Ones who feed ​ [Chorus] (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us Zola schukada (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us Zola schukada [Pre-verse] Your torment from the past The pain we went through It tipped our hourglass [Verse] See me, believe me My being is disgusting Pulsing while bleeding A dead man alive The horror, the sickness The spreading, the judgment I have seen the light I consumed it [Pre-chorus] Feed on the Ones who breathe [Chorus] (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us Zola schukada (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us Zola schukada [Guitar solo: X] [Chorus] (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us Zola schukada (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us (Zola) Rectify us Zola schukada [Outro] Rectify the undead (Zola) Rectify the undead (Zola) Rectify the undead (Zola) Rectify the undead (Zola schukada) Rectify the undead (Zola) Rectify the undead (Zola) Rectify the undead (Zola) (Zola schukada) ​ ​

[Verse] I discovered a place locked inside of my mind Where I can taste new sounds, and I'm no longer blind Now I have the power to shatter every rule And one deep breath is my strongest fuel I gotta find a way to keep my movements in sync So now I'm treating every trail like the water I drink I can see why it's against the law 'Cause no one can enslave me now that I'm a god [Pre-chorus] (Straight to the blood!) You said it kills, yet I'm not dead, nor do I sin (Straight to the blood!) You said it hurts, I feel no pain, so try again (Straight to the blood!) You oughta know your cozened lies are plain to see (Straight to the blood!) So give it a rest, it's for the best [Chorus] 'Cause you'll never CHANGE ME! You'll never CHANGE ME! You've deafened my ears and tried to feed me your fears Now that I'm in the clear, you're all afraid of me [Verse] (Fix me) My can of heat tastes nectar sweet, but smells like venom (Fix me) Takes more and more till I absorb the new me (Fix me) Can't put to waste a single taste of my momentum (Fix me) Without a line, I wear a broken mind Fix me! Come on and fix me! Why can't you fix me? Looks like I'm complete For now... [Pre-chorus] (Straight to the blood!) You said it kills, yet I'm not dead, nor do I sin (Straight to the blood!) You said it hurts, you know you're not gonna win (Straight to the blood!) You oughta know, your cozened lies are plain to see (Straight to the blood!) So give it a rest, it's for the best [Chorus] 'Cause you'll never CHANGE ME! You'll never CHANGE ME! You've deafened my ears and tried to feed me your fears Now that I'm in the clear, you're all afraid of me You'll never CHANGE ME! You'll never CHANGE ME! I still have my soul, so who says I've lost control? If you find me unwhole, then stay away from me ​[Drum solo: Daniel Justo-Sanchez] [Build-up] Can't slow down Can't slow down Can't slow down Can't slow down Can't slow down (I have lost control, I have lost control) Can't slow down (I have lost control, now I'm gone) Can't slow down (I have lost control, I have lost control) Can't slow down (I have lost control, now I'm gone) Can't slow down! (I've lost all control) Can't slow down! (I've lost all control) Can't slow down! (I've lost all control) NOOOOOOOOO! (Now I'm gone) [Bridge] How could I see where my life would leave me When I lost my freedom to choose? Who would tell me how to come back safely If we've all been compromised to lose? I swore it was easy, not one soul could seize me Now it's me who's being used But I don't Want it Anymore! [Breakdown] (Aaaaaaaah) (Aaaaaaaah) (Aaaaaaaah) (Aaaaaaaah) I'm living all my darkest nightmares While I'm open eyed (Aaaaaaaah) I'm forced to face my fears each day with Both of my hands tied (Aaaaaaaah) I'm all alone to brace this struggle Blowing out my light (Aaaaaaaah) But I'm not going down without Putting up a fight (Aaaaaaaah) [Break] I'm down to my last breath I'm down to my last breath I'm down to my last breath I'm down to my last BREATH! [Guitar solo: X]

[Verse] Now who I am Now who I am don't matter Now who I am don't matter No one should care [Interlude] I walk through time Completely blind 'Cause no one's there to teach me I join the chain Within my lane And never gaze beneath me [Verse] And so I wait And so I wait for no one I don't predict the future And the past is over [Pre-chorus] I walk through time Completely blind 'Cause no one's there to teach me I join the chain Within my lane And never gaze... [Chorus] Through the pain and the hate It takes everything that I got just to breathe And I know each time I fall No one picks me up better than me [Verse] The seeds I've sown I've grown for me on my own And they only grow for those Who can work it all out alone [Pre-chorus] I walk through time Completely blind 'Cause no one's there to teach me I join the chain Within my lane And never gaze... ​[Chorus] Through the pain And the hate It takes everything that I got just to breathe And I know Each time I fall No one picks me up better than me I don't need help, I'll do it myself You've no control till you do it yourself I don't need help, I'll do it myself You've no control till you do it yourself {Vyrn Ly Myronym Avyr} {Do It Yourself} [Verse] A day may come When no one cares about me But I just want what it takes To carry on alone [Pre-chorus] I walk through time Completely blind 'Cause no one's there to teach me I board the dock On my own clock And never gaze... [Chorus] Through the pain And the hate It takes everything that I got just to breathe And I know Each time I fall No one picks me up better than me I don't need help, I'll do it myself You've no control till you do it yourself I don't need help, I'll do it myself You've no control till you do it yourself

[Verse] Don't sit inside a dream Don't seek what you don't need Don't play it safe until your day arrives It might weigh on your mind You might still be behind But this pain is what it means to be alive [Pre-chorus] Give me a reason It's getting late Your clock's not sleeping Are you awake? [Chorus] Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Your life's a fight that never ends So break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) If you're not failing then you'll never win Now you've laid eyes on the outside [Verse] Life is happening now But you're still stuck on the ground If you let Armageddon take you You'll still be around, left in the dust No one's gonna hold your hand (so keep moving) And no one's gonna understand (so keep moving) 'Cause winning is a life-long plan (so keep moving) And rivers don't remember old dams! [Pre-chorus] Give me an answer Don't waste away This world is changing We cannot stay [Chorus] Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Your life's a fight that never ends So break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!) If you're not failing then you'll never win Now you've advanced to the outside ​[Breakdown] I am Your hopeless urge Your weaknesses Everything that you are!! (Just get away from me) (Just get away from me) Feed me Your energy Every single day Until the end of time!! (Just get away from me) (Just get away) ​Broken And bolted to the grind The pressure Has preyed upon your mind So get up Just try again Don't let it win I don't care if it's hurting Right now Don't put it off No matter what Last chance to take control! (JUST GET AWAY!!) [Bridge] I crossed out the line And inherently flawed design I replaced it with mine 'Cause I plan to amount this time [Guitar solo: Leyland Reid] [Bridge] Cast doubt to the fray Live your life in your own way Ignore all that they say And try living today [Guitar solo: X] [Post-verse] Harder It only becomes harder It dares you to push farther Until you accept it you're hurting yourself Faster In time it'll come to you faster As long as you're the adapter Are you gonna give up now? HELL NO! Fight 'Cause you've come too far To watch it go Spiraling out of control You are the reaper You are the gate keeper Is there anything else You'd rather do?! [Post-pre-chorus] It's in your hands It's in your hands now It's in your hands Don't let it go ​[Chorus] Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!) Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!) Do it yourself!

{Se Rappeler} {What Do You Think This Is (A Game)} [Intro] What do you think this is? (A GAME!) [Verse] Now it's time To sit upon the throne As I read the words of God With rifle in my hand My words are law And those of you accused Come buy your place in Heaven or be sent back to Hell! [Pre-chorus] I sold the world for free And replaced it with my own I'd trade all of you for me And rule my kingdom all alone [Chorus] What do you think this is? (A GAME!) What do you think this is? (A GAME!) What do you think this is? (A GAME!) What do you think this is? (A GAME!) [Guitar solo: X] [Verse] Who gave churches a voice? And who gave bigots jobs? Who gave chauvinism a fighting chance at all? I'm an outcast in my own country But I'd rather kill you than share it And I justify it by dehumanizing you scum 'Cause we're not alike at all [Pre-chorus] I sold the world for free And replaced it with my own I'd trade all of you for me And live the glory all alone [Chorus] What do you think this is? (A GAME!) What do you think this is? (A GAME!) What do you think this is? (A GAME!) What do you think this is? (A GAME!) [Guitar solo: X] [Build-up] Does it hurt to hear the truth? Do you fear what you do not understand? Well you can hate us all you want 'Cause it won't change anything! All you've done is made it easier to be Sorted into the herds of sheep that you are! The caves of ignorance that are devised to turn A profit from your anger, and build careers From your readily manipulated submission! We will never apologize for confronting your hypocrisy! If you won't listen now, then you won't be prepared to act Until it's already far too late! Welcome to the Fourth Reich! ​[Break] What do you think this is? (A GAME!) [Verse] So what if all our dreams are dead And everybody's broke? (OOOH!) Who cares that the workers paid For the ones who never spoke? (OOOH!) Too high to see how bad it got Too scared to form a single thought But they never change So let's take them for a joke (YOU SEE US LAUGHING BOY?!?) [Interlude] I sold the world for free And let it fester on its own I'd trade all of you for me And leave my problems all alone [Bridge] I'm here for me, I'm not here for you I'm just raking in the cash (I want it) Now! (I want it) Now! (I want it) I will not wait anymore! [Guitar solo: X] [Bridge] What's the point of it? I'm not here to satisfy you at all (I want it) Now! (I want it) Now! (I want it) NOW! [Guitar solo: X] [Bridge] Now my part is done It's time for everyone else to do theirs (I want it) Now! (I want it) Now! (I want it) I should be much better of than this! [Guitar solo: X] [Outro] It's time to stop faking and time to get real It's time to stop faking and time to get real It's time to stop faking and time to get real It's time to stop faking and time to get real It's time to stop faking and time to get real It's time to stop faking and time to get real It's time to stop faking and time to get real It's time to stop faking and time to get real {Se Rappeler}

[Verse] Dear diary There's not much time left I just woke up inside a room I've never seen They think it's me I didn't do it But God if this is true There must be something wrong with me There are voices in my head Telling me I've murdered I can't remember, but I fear it might be true I can't keep from screaming I'm constantly hungover It feels like deep down inside There's something taking over [Pre-chorus] It's coming back It's coming back It's coming back Why can't I fight it? It's coming back It's coming back It's coming back And now I'm buried [Chorus] (Hold on, it's still not too late) KILL THEM ALL, LEAVE NONE BEHIND THEN HIT THE FAN WITH WHAT IS LEFT! (Hold on my child, don't let it take you) THRUST THEIR BODIES BACK AND FORTH TILL ALL THEIR GUTS SPLATTER THE ROOM! (Hold on, it's trying to take your place) HANG THEM BY A CEILING FAN THEN WATCH THEM TILL THEIR NOOSES GIVE! (Keep fighting off, or else your mind will rot) LET THEIR CORPSES ROOOOOOOOT!! [Verse] Dear diary I can't believe this I woke up to find a dead man at my feet What could this mean? Could I have done this? Why would I kill a man I could not ever meet? I cannot deny this when it's all so clear The pain of having no control is now my biggest fear How did I contract this? Is there any remedy? How can someone coexist When they're their own worst enemy? [Pre-chorus] It's coming back It's coming back It's coming back Why can't I fight it? It's coming back It's coming back It's coming back And now I'm buried [Chorus] (Hold on, it's still not too late) KILL THEM ALL, LEAVE NONE BEHIND THEN HIT THE FAN WITH WHAT IS LEFT! (Hold on my child, don't let it take you) THRUST THEIR BODIES BACK AND FORTH TILL ALL THEIR GUTS SPLATTER THE ROOM! (Hold on, it's trying to take your place) HANG THEM BY A CEILING FAN THEN WATCH THEM TILL THEIR NOOSES GIVE! (Keep fighting off, or else your mind will rot) LET THEIR CORPSES ROT! [Guitar solo: X] [Bridge] You know, all I ever wanted was A little hospitality I can't control the beast inside of me Unless I kill the body You know, I never wanted to die But now there's no use turning back Even if I could go back in time I'd make the same mistakes This is the last time I will write in this Tomorrow is my final day No one believes me when I tell the truth But I don't know truth anyway This is the only way to silence it A sacrifice I won't regret Let's hope I keep together long enough Just a couple hours left [Chorus] KILL THEM ALL, LEAVE NONE BEHIND THEN HIT THE FAN WITH WHAT IS LEFT! (I'm sorry child, I could not save you) THRUST THEIR BODIES BACK AND FORTH TILL ALL THEIR GUTS SPLATTER THE ROOM! (It has you to drain you of all you've got) HANG THEM BY A CEILING FAN THEN WATCH THEM TILL THEIR NOOSES GIVE! (Just bleed it out, and let its body rot) LET THEIR CORPSES ROOOOOOOOT!!

[Verse] One more down Too many more to go You've murdered countless on you godforsaken throne One more round Let's play the guessing game Make one a richer man, and cast one in the flames [Interlude] TO THE CHAIR!! [Verse] You placed the bets over Both of their skin color You let the killer loose And dropped the helpless one [Pre-chorus] Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (court is adjourned!) [Chorus] I am the God of your soul And I can take it away So put your trust in me I'll give you honesty And it will bury you With the rest of my prey [Verse] Shame on me! My wallet weighs the least I'm already ruined if my funds have not increased Shame on he! Who doesn't even know It takes a millionaire to circumvent death row [Interlude] TO THE CHAIR!!! [Verse] Months after his last case The acquitted stole third base A suspect once again Now pour the money in [Pre-chorus] Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (send the next one in) Guilty (court is adjourned!) [Chorus] I am the God of your soul And I can take it away So put your trust in me I'll give you honesty And it will bury you With the rest of my prey [Dueling guitar solos: Leyland Reid / X] [Breakdown] You sent away our mothers and fathers To undeserving graves Your lies don't just affect your victims In your house no one's safe [Build-up] Unlock our cage Unlock our cage Unlock our cage Unlock our cage Unlock our cage Unlock our cage Unlock our cage Unlock our cage [Release] Unlock our cage! Unlock our cage! Unlock our cage! Unlock our cage! Unlock our cage! (send the next one in) Unlock our cage! (send the next one in) Unlock our cage! (send the next one in) Unlock our cage! (court is adjourned!) [Chorus] I'm still the God of your soul And I don't care who is right Your land of free is mine The truth is my design And I won't hesitate To burn out your light

[Verse] Rise 'n' shine (rise 'n' shine) Something woke me up tonight What's that noise? (what's that noise?) Could it be? That can't be right Check the blinds (lift the blinds) Look up high only to find War machines (war machines) Maybe I'm still dreaming [Verse] Look below (look below) Panic sweeping through the roads What's that smell? (what's that smell?) Never smelled that scent before Check the halls (check the halls) Why are there holes through the walls? Body parts (body parts) THIS IS NOT A DREAM!! [Pre-chorus] IT'S COMING TOWARDS US WAY TOO FAST!!! BURNT CORPSES EVERYWHERE I LOOK!!! Since the dawn of time Men would claim our lives And I can see the end of mine [Chorus] Look to the skies (look to the skies) Believe your eyes (believe your eyes) It's up to you to survive through the night And remember the night that the sky rained... [Verse] As a child I have always wondered what it sounded like Hearing bombs drop through the sky Just so I'd Recognize a deadly sign Now I wonder WHAT IF I JUST DIE!?! ​[Pre-chorus] THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN AGAIN!!! PAVEMENT EXPLODING IN MY FACE!!! Since the dawn of time Men would claim our lives And I can see the end of mine [Chorus] Look to the skies (look to the skies) Believe your eyes (run for your lives) It's up to you to survive through the night And remember the night that the sky rained NUKES! [Breakdown] (Yn du kurt aza, tyy xun du sal gyybrodyn) [Guitar solo: X] [Bridge] I have left my body behind Among the ashes below And now it pains me to think I may never return But I have not left the Earth It doesn't make sense to me Instead I'm drifting along like I'm one with the breeze I see the scars in the sky I see the dead on the ground And now I finally realize what's going on It's gonna happen again It's gonna happen again It's gonna happen again, and again, and again

Germ 08:50
[Verse] I can't remember the last time I lived You wasted the love I was desperate to give My soul's left to wither and all that remains This exoskeleton that's beaten to grain Why... must I suffer? I... wish I could be tougher Please... forgive me of sin But tell me, if God loves me, why won't this end? [Guitar solo: X] [Verse] Fed to survive, but deprived of a life Long time ago, it flashed before my eyes Senseless and tortured, my reason is pain You are an angel, and I'm but a stain Why... am I so ugly? I... internally bleed I... want to touch the sun But if I deserve this, then what have I done? [Guitar solo: X] [Breakdown] I have had it with this life It's time to let it go All the meaning has been drained And there's nowhere left to go So farewell to the living And those I used to love Oh mama! Mama! I will join you from above! [Bridge] Senses gone numb Pulse is a drum Could this be done? Deny Yes, I deny First step to die Fight and I fly Mad at the Lord Mad at the world Madness unfurl Anger Tear through the fur Bite at the flesh Endlessly scream Help me survive Keep me alive Just one last try Bargain Praying won't work Faith does not help I can't turn back Why is it me? Why target me? Why always me? Despair Why even try? Just let me die Turn my nose dry [Break] Die! Accept Accept Accept I accept! [Guitar solo: X] [Outro] Warm glow A warm glow draws me in Warm glow Pulls me towards the light Warm glow A warm glow draws me in Warm glow Pulls me towards the light
