Hatebreed Album

You came to me with salvation,
saying I must repent.
You offer up your redemption,
a guarantee for a better life in your safe world.
Your illusions are comfort for your conscience.
My sacrifices will be made
in honor of what is truly sacred.
How can you save me,
when you can't save yourself?
You can't save yourself.

They're so persuasive, with their fucking lies.
Not an ounce of respect.
They'll do anything to sell deception.

(chorus)
Burn the lies.
Their words of ignorance.
Shove them back.
Back down their throats.
All that I have for you is hate.

They will quickly abandon, what little morals they have.
Tell you that you are worth nothing, with no regard for anyone.

What make you think everything is this world that you have
can be taken away? In a world this day, it's kill or be killed. I
live each day like it might be my last. In this lifetime few
things are worth fighting for. My Blood. Your Honor. Everyone
has a destiny. I'll choose my own. I will not be a victim
(chorus) My cries won't go unheard (x2) I got to fight (fight) for
myself. I'll choose my own destiny and i won't let anyone take
away what i hold do true. I won't live in denial. And I
won't turn the other cheek. I must remain convicted and
never accept this suffering. I've learned from my mistakes
and I've made a promise to myself. I won't live in the past
(x2) I've been affected by your lies and I've let then hold me
back. I wasn't thinking for myself. I wasn't living for myself
(repeat chorus) What i have in my heart I'll take to my grave

Bastard cries, feed the fire. The burning desire to rob human
life. In this world full of fear of the unknown. Twisting the
perception of the weak. Lying to progress. Only achieving
greed. Seated behind the sun. Myths bleed into one
Searching for a saviour to lead us through this life. Where our
sanity is undone. Killing against our will. Killing for the
bastard maker. The fairy tale. The non existent. Salvation so
bittersweet the taste brought fear to our tongues. Preying on
the weak. Fatherless creation encased in the depths of
humanity. They continue to rape and call it purity. I will not
bow down because of out past. I see now mankind was not
meant to last.

Thrown into this living hell. I was thrown into this living hell. I
am the hatred taken from another's life. Born unwanted,
extracted of all that is humane. No one can relate to my
abandonment. I walk this earth alone in search of salvation
Forever, Forever. Forever. Alone. A tormented seed given a
chance to grow. The end result of moral choice. Only to live a
tortured life as the product of rape. Under a mother's face of
innocence, And a father with eyes of a demon. Conceived
through an act of violence. (x4) I was thrown into this living
hell. I didn't ask to be this way. I was thrown into this living hell.

Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold.
Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself. (chorus) How
can you face the world? When you can't face the mirror. How
can you leave your past? With blood on your hands? Can you
run away all your life? Can you escape your punishment? How
many times can you start it all again? How many lies will it
take to cover your tracks? (chorus) Mo matter how far you go
Those days are right behind. The facade of your perfect life
Cannot hide your perfect past. There is no escape

Drifting by the heavens unscarred.
Yet unhealed before a bleeding cross.
Thrown into the ash. Crumbling.
[chorus] I've been crossed like the lies on a clock's face.
I've been fed lies I can't comprehend.
I've become but a mere seed again.
And I'll prophesize the end.
Now.
I have yet begun to fight.

There is no fear in my heart.
No cause worthy of my respect.
In the End I'll run.
I won't fall prey to deception.
Deception is the means by which they profit.
Deceit if their hearts.
Evil within their souls.
The cruelty by which they exploit
will not be part of my life.

[repeat chorus]

Living as we rot,
Showered with shadows of dreams devoured.
Our souls descend into endless seas of sin.
There's no turning back.
No repenting, no remorse.
Hate stricken creation.
I realize in this world.

[chorus x2] There is not one truth cast into stone.
Only lies cast into flames.
It's time to burn.
Burn alive. Burn at the stake.

Our eyes crystal clear,
our bodies frozen with fear,
and there's nothing to save us now
from endless suffering and solitude.
We've lost the chance
to save this dying world.
So we pay the price,
of which no one can afford.

This is our last breath.
The first in a world.

In a cold unforgiving world,
alone with fear and weakness,
oppressed and dying slowly.
Countless people have been betrayed by life.
No one is exempt.
No one is safe.
So many lives will be taken.
So many lives been ruined.
So many live hang is balance.
So many lives have been lost.
Betrayed by life.
As survivors we are left to try there tears.
We are left to mend their wounds.
We are left to pick up the pieces of those who have been
betrayed by life.

I was so blind.
I couldn't see the truth.
I was unable to see how my life was being used.
To be something so miniscule.
Everything i thought was so definite,
I thought was so real was thrown away and will be remembered among unpaling hatred.
[chorus]
Consider my suffering.
Through all your pain.
Remember my face.
I'm digging your grave.
Since when was so sacred,
turning into something so wrong.
something so important to me.
Cheapened and exploited.
I won't be that way, I can't, I can't be that way again.
I can't, I won't, I will never let it.
[repeat chorus]
For the rest of your fucking
life you will mark my words.

All the prayers in the world can't bring you back.
It's your last breath,
this is your last breath.
Taken from this earth without warning.
Victim of the ultimate injustice.
Nothing will ever make sense of this.
Nothing could have prepared me.
All that is left are memories,
and the pieces of a shattered existence.
I wish I could bring you back.
I felt your last breath.
its your last breath
this is your last breath
All the prayers in the world can't bring you back.
its your last breath
this is your last breath
last breath

No on can redeem themselves,
no one can be saved.
In a dying world filled
with enslavement and endless apathy.
A tortured past and not much future a
tattered earth remains,
destitute and alone in madness.
Burial for the living.
Our earth stripped of wealth.
Burial of the living.
Our bodies drained of life.
In a world full of enemies,
I'm an enemy of the world.
There is only so long we have to live,
our dying days are spent waiting for
history to repeat itself.
Our only hope is vengeance.

Conditioned to feel nothing
We turn our backs on all these crimes
Cries fall on deaf ears, and the killing continues
They say what we don't know will never hurt us
But nothing could be, further from the truth

[chorus]

In your uncaring life - we are worlds apart
In this race doomed to fail - we are worlds apart
In this system you support - we are worlds apart
In my soul - we are worlds apart (we are worlds apart)

Worlds apart
(worlds apart)

Every seconds breath life into a reason for dying.
Our ignorance will only stunt our final will to live.
Bound and Gagged.
I feel forced back in a losing race.
I've been stepped on and passed by but I have enough hope to
keep fighting.
All of my life.
All of my pain.
Driven by suffering [x2]
Every single choice I must make.
Driven by suffering [x2]
