BLOCKED BY A WALL From the day I was born I was blocked by a wall Crawling from the womb I was blocked by a wall In the church in the school, blocked by a wall Try to find my way in life – blocked by a wall! Tried to feel emotion I was blocked by a wall Tried to know love, blocked by a wall Searching for the sun I was blocked by a wall Just to know if I’m alive! Blocked by a wall!
2.
WHAT WE BELIEVE Looking back on the way things once were Everything seen in black and white We were young and naïve but our hearts were in the right Before everything became diluted by compromise LET’S GET IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK TO WHAT WE BELIEVE! The years roll along and it’s easy to forget Getting worn down by day to day But every time I take the time to really look around it comes back again. What’s wrong- and what’s right!
3.
BREAKING THROUGH I can’t believe that I’ve come so far to be so far behind Progress seems unattainable- when there is no clear path Too many obstacles in my way, I’M BREAKING THROUGH! Change must come today! I’m breaking through! Just when the smoke starts to clear, there’s another fire But I will breach these flames- there can be no other way I’m breaking through, I’m breaking through! It’s an endless struggle, but I’m breaking through Change must come today – because I’m breaking through Sick motherfuckers!
4.
NO CAPITULATION Things been getting rough, and we’re starting to fall behind I’m afraid to say thoughts of failure are creeping into my mind We’re fighting amongst ourselves, and its tearing out my heart! AAAAGH!!! There’s something I gotta say! NO DEFEAT! NO CAPITULATION! We will keep pressing on I look around and I don’t know what to say Overwhelmed by all the bullshit that keeps heading our way The future looks so dim, but I know one thing is true I’m gonna rise above this shit if it’s the last fucking thing I do
5.
HEARTS OF STONE When suffering and madness become commonplace It gets overwhelming And we haven’t even seen the worst of it yet We’re so sheltered- is this the best we have to give? Is this the measure of our lives? Cynicism can be comforting, when everything is a lie MELT THESE HEARTS OF STONE! The life support systems begin to erode The patterns can clearly be traced And we sit transfixed hurtling headlong to our doom As if there is no other way Is there a spark of life that sets us apart from the loveless, lifeless hordes? Is there a way to find a way to try? Is there anything? Anything?
6.
THERE IS A WAY I hear you saying that there’s no hope You know I’ve felt it too Things going on in this world can wreck your soul But if I open my eyes each morning, I got to know the reason why Sick of feeling helpless- Sick of feeling hopeless, Looking for a path up out of this hell! THERE IS A WAY to fight them, and there will come a time- How can you say that we have no chance when we never even fucking try? THERE IS A WAY! And there will come a time….. They’re tearing up the earth faster than it can heal, taking everything she’s got Ecosystems dying, species declining, man, it doesn’t look good It’s too easy to sit back and watch, letting it all fall down But if we’re all gonna die anyway, at least I’m gonna know which side I’m on!

WASTELAND 01:41
CROSSING THE WASTELAND Life ain’t just a struggle - It’s a fucking daily war! I’m just trying to survive, conceptualize what I’m doing this for WE’RE CROSSING THE WASTELAND (Needing safe passage) CROSSING THE WASTELAND (To an unknown future…) I think of the loved ones we left behind I remember their faces Staring in the flames of the fire at night I wish they could join us… There’s a distant speck on the horizon ahead I can see it dimly We might reach it tomorrow if we survive this night
8.
LIBERATION 03:03
LIBERATION Sometimes it seems that we’re caught in a trap That human evolution is standing still Doomed to repeat the same mistakes forever I’m looking in a mirror I don’t like what I see I’m not doing what I know is right And though my problems aren’t shit to the rest of the world like so many others, I’m crawling towards the light LET’S BREAK THESE CHAINS CAST OFF THESE CHAINS LIBERATION! LIBERATION! Oppression comes in many forms, from within and from without- I see people on the streets shedding blood for freedom Would I have the courage to do what they do? You can surrender to subjugation, or you can try to fight - The choice you make, the path you take will be with you the rest of your fucking life!
