lyrics
- Brett solo -
Innocence denied, gone is any chance of a normal life
Things can’t be unseen, scars the developing mind
Taken from the care of home, forced to kill the ones you know and love
Trauma bred callous brings violence, brings hate, brings death!
- Ira solo -
Powers prey upon the weak
Forced to do unspeakable things
Leaders held to no accountability
Society has set a standard
Still questions are left unanswered
People want to know “Where could these children be?”
Powers prey upon the weak
Forced to do unspeakable things
Leaders held to no accountability
Society has set a standard
Still questions are left unanswered
People want to know “Where could these children be?”
They force the fight
On impressionable minds
Raised to hate
Desensitized
Torn away, from their purity
Stripped of all innocence
While cowards in power sit in luxury
Expendable young lives die
We all know something is not right
When the wolves hide in plain sight
- Ira solo -
Brainwashed and committed to the cause that destroyed their lives
Shattered is the splendor that they thought they knew
Malicious and twisted they have warped their feeble minds
The overwhelming feeling that you’re doomed
Drugged and desensitized a naïve mind
Raised in a war you’ve been Shrapnel Baptized
Twisted emotion contorted compassion
A struggle to re-patronize
- Ira solo -
- Layne guest solo -
Media shuts down any chance to shed some light
On the real situation and their torturous life
Learn to trust your captor and find safety in the pain
We’re all created equal, but not valued the same
Drugged and desensitized a naïve mind
Raised in a war you’ve been Shrapnel Baptized
Twisted emotion contorted compassion
A struggle to re-patronize
- Marcus solo -
- Brett solo -

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt.

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!
