Minamata 03:32
Look at what you've done This disease was birthed from man Look at what you've done Fed a beast that bites the hand Look at what you've done A city keels to your poison Look at what you've done No quarter for betrayal, you got to pay. Lungs filled with fumes, eyes seared from smoke, skin bleached and scorched from fires that never die, The open earth surrenders precious worth, all but few replace the plunder with infected flesh. Your profit We pay You're guilty No one is safe No No compromise With The guilty Look at what you've done These crimes you perpetrate Look at what you've done This sacrifice was no mistake Look at what you've done The lives you stole can't be atoned for Look at what you've done You are not our own You take what You covet, few if any benefit, we don't share a common vision, we will speak the same language, with tongues of violence. Approach your judgment with confidence, even til the end you bear no shame Your profit We pay You're guilty No one is safe No No compromise With The Guilty

Famine 03:47
Fruits of the Earth Held high above our reach Landscapes of bounty Not even a memory Throw away the harvest, a billion mouths to feed Reap the poison thats sown, we planted this seed Feast or Famine On the edge of eden Winds carry a lifelessness In one season An eon is stripped away In the law of give and take Something has to pay Something always has to pay There is no water until it's wasted, until it flows no more. there is no meal until its tasted, hunger creates war. Feast or famine Fruits of the earth Rot on the vine Lives of bounty Not even a memory

Slow Knife 03:26
No relief, we are the hunted now, running with metal in our backs, against cliffs they ensnare our loved ones, no graves to mark where we fall. They will speak for bravery Butchers canonized as saints Their fires brightened this dark age A land manifested by destiny They will sing of heroes Faces of which look nothing like our own In one hand a bible in the other a treaty to overturn this land No redemption is found unless we stand up ourselves Nations and peoples remembering who we are Rediscover honor in our blood Recover dances that heal Relearn our forgotten tongues Rewrite chapters that have no ending No ending This chapter is not over Villians, they still walk this earth They assume that we cant remember Some wounds we will never forget These wounds you will never forget From our bodies Unsheath the slow knife Untie knots that bind tomorrow Undo blinds that hide yesterday Unsheath the slow knife Unsheath the slow knife slow knife

You don't know, how beautiful you are to me, But I am blinded, by tragedy, Don't judge me for believing in a better world, You were everything, I thought I left behind Sick of apologizing for trying to live without apology, For seeing through the meaningless games of aggression, No more sympathy for tears fueled by addiction, they led us no where You don’t know how beautiful you are to me, But I have to leave you for higher grounds Your words are poison, they do worse than harm, Coursing through me long after your silence, too late to take back what you didn’t mean, It can’t be just me when we are both helpless We were both Selfish, I only wanted the very best for you Punishing yourself, I see the lashes you self-inflict but the sentence don't fit any crime Your secrets are so clear to me, I’ll keep them until the end of time knowing that you would have done the same Thank you for pushing me away You were pushing me to the surface Head above water, I’ll always remember when I would rather suffer you than suffer without you

This world taught me how to fight, it never offered a way out. Against the tide, against the wall, it was a fight against myself, Lost to hate Loss of faith Living under a fog of war, I needed more than to lash out in vain. I needed more than a mask, More than just escape, looking back at the world It was I who had to change My family taught me how to love, my conscious told me why to care Among the ruins I was woken up to echoing cries of despair. I listened to their stories of mistakes and misery, Every life a compass, pointing to the true enemy Who to love Who to fight You are your enemy If I can't better myself I better be dead and gone Cause if I can't face myself How do I face what is wrong Tomorrow's not a promise that's one truth guaranteed, Ill suffer for my indiscretions but they won't bury me. I need to face myself, before I face off for my life I know who to love And who to fight

Amber Trails 05:20
Orders of magnitude overwhelm our animal minds Herded along these lines, uneven ground Shaped by time Heat to work, wield the might afforded by ten thousand years, we've built structures As monuments, not for sustaining life Every age has claimed permanence Desperate to prolong that lingering light Every tide we try to break the Earth Pushes back Every mountain that is raised The Earth pushes back Engines carry their own weight, inconvenienced by passengers who are Machines themselves I can't remember the last thing you said, Or did you say nothing at all? Before you took off for the promises they waved, I cursed both our fates All their plans, they will fail These paths we trace are amber trails
