Wasteland 02:47
Barking at the moon Howling at the fucking sun We are the wolves This land has died Torn up, burnt down, nothing left inside. Torn up, burnt down, nothing left inside. We are the wolves Death rides in, no savior Fill your veins with pain then it's over. This land has died Torn up, burnt down, nothing left inside. Torn up, burnt down, nothing left inside. Launch! We are the wolves, survived on your flesh A wasteland of death - we made of this earth No one to blame, no one but us Now you must pay, pay with your skin We are the wolves

War/Peace 02:05
War's been waged on my mind again War's been waged on my mind again Life cut me up but death stitched me up Battle in this trench, in this rut I am stuck Battle with these burdens, with these demons I am tortured at night I've been closing my eyes but I can't fall asleep Read my mind, feel my war To suffer is to live A war has been waged A fucking war has been waged And there's nowhere to hide Because it's all in your mind Peace.

Born Hunted 01:49
You better fear Fear the woman Fear for the man Fear the future before we fade to the past Fear your karma My karma is you I'm hunted now Built a world in solitude Population: me, but I'm hunted now I'm hunted now Born hunted Beat to the crown Fuck the system Burning it down. They don't want you, want you to win You better fear Beat by the crown, gagged and bound Struggle for air, drown Lived hunted, I will die hunted Tombstone reads "born hunted" Child of war blooms a man of disrepair Now he fights for his life

Blood Loss 02:32
Check Blood Blood loss I am your karma I am disease I am the pain brought down on your knees Rotted and broken Stranded, exhausted Looking for peace but I'm surely forgotten Karma lives and karma breathes Watch it bleed, take your toll on me This is your karma Bad luck and disease Destined for failure Forever forced to believe Rotted and broken Stranded, exhausted Looking for peace but I'm surely forgotten Blood loss Surrounded by failure, I'm done Broken and shattered, they won Infection takes over my mind Losing the battle, get ready for war Blood in my veins, falling down on the floor Pools at my feet as I stare at the wall Blood in my veins Blood in my veins, falling down on the floor I sit and I stare, I have drowned in my fear

Going Postal 01:45
I'm going postal, I'm going fucking postal I lost my cool, I swear I lost my fucking cool I'm feeling mental, I'm feeling fucking mental I'm going to die I swear I lost it long ago I think you know now, I'm gone I swear I'm gunna fucking die. When you ask me where I'm going I think you know, yeah I think you know I'm going postal

Passing my time Scratching at these blistered scars Wasting our lives Staring at our broken past It's coming back now Scarecrow You can't save me I'm just blind too Blind to myself Blind to these scars Staring at our broken past Ripping at these blistered scars Feeling like I don't mean shit Feeling this feeling that I felt before Scarcrow can't save me Skin dripping off my bones Blood blistered fingers Another dark day, mentally imprisoned My mind, dead and diseased Another dark day creeps around the corner Scarecrow can't help me Another dark day creeps around the corner Scarecrow can't save me
8.
Beat down the crown. Born under kings and their slave holder sons, held down by the hand that answers to none. Grip to reality, see with your eyes. Never mind my disgust, you must realize. Dig. Sealed so tight in this coffin I call life, surrounded by the jackels, I dare not close my eyes. Born with this chip that's sewn to my shoulder, cuts get deeper and I only grow colder. Hanging from my neck, I begin to recall the face of the jackel as it swallows me whole. Ripping the flesh from my bones. My purpose in life is to feed them all. Trapped in this coffin, I swing into the night.
9.
Money 02:26
Spend all your money, we all die fast Fuck the future, born to sink to the bottom Give in Alone in your head, just give in No future, never wanted to be nothing No future, keep standing in my own way Fill your pockets with paper, say you'll save it for later, just a slave to the paper When you're dead in the dirt, still chained to your vault, just a slave to the paper In this wasteland of dust, you mean nothing to us You can pay with your skin in this new world that we live in In this new world we live in

Interlude II 01:37
11.
Acting like this doesn't phase me Like this world hasn't changed me Black and blue, colorized wounds Twenty something years of spit in my face I've become so weak Feet stained red because I walk the street Worn to the bone because I cannot sleep Slipping away, I've been burning my rage Burning my rage, I'm just stuck-not saved I've been clutching my guts, take it day by day Forever damned to walk Cut the tongue from my mouth You can't stop these words, they'll keep pouring out Fuck your community, fuck your unity Bogus fucking ops, it's nothing fucking new to me Eyes fixed on this land of waste Sea of snakes Choose to drown or will to fight Bite the head off You thought you could infect my world Sea of snakes Sea of snakes is where I'm forced to swim Join or cut the head, I won't drown in your unity
12.
Survive 03:24
Fighting for survival in this apocalyptic dust Gas has filled my lungs, I have no one I can trust No one I've been living in fear, I've been digging my own grave The plague knocks at your door Dragging my sword through the sands of time My vision's blurred, I close my eyes Fight back Fighting for survival, wounded knee, regurgitated This is the world we live in and we've destroyed her. Mother nature, father-son. Now it's our turn to bleed. Peace
