Hatebreed Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire (1997) Perseverance (2002) Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire Empty Promises 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. Burn The Lies They're so persuasive, with their f**king 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. Before Dishonor 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 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. Puritan 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. Conceived Through An Act Of Violence 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. Afflicted Past 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. Prepare For War 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 clocks 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 rot. 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] Not One Truth 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. Betrayed By Life 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. Mark My Words 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 f**king life you will mark my words. Last Breath All the prayers in the world can't bring you back. It's your last breath, this is our 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 back. I felt you last breath. All the prayers in the world can't bring you back. Burial For The Living 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. Worlds Apart Conditioned to feel nothing. We turn our backs on all the crimes. They say what we don't know wont hurt us, but nothing could be further form the truth. Cries fall on deaf ears, and the killing continues. [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. Driven By Suffering 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 pain. Driven by suffering [x2] Every single choice I must make. Driven by suffering. [x2] Perseverance Proven You want to see me fail You won't get your chance You want to see me fail You won't get your chance You'll never get your chance This is our lives This is who we are You can't put a price on it It's strength within our hearts From within our souls Stood strong throughout the years This runs through our veins We stay true to ourselves (You want to see me fail...) Who are you to judge us Who are you to condemn us I have respect, honour and dedication For my family and friends From within our souls Stood strong throughout the years This runs through our veins We stay true to ourselves (You want to see me fail...) PROVEN Perserverance I know your fear of loss And your struggles with faith And how it takes everything that you have to face the day The virtues you possess now bring you eternal pain All you have is contempt for a life you can't obtain All your heroes have failed you Yet you try and prevail Face your torment and dismantle your doubt Refuse this legacy of shame and deceit Cause the only real truth in your life that you know is hostility Your world is coming apart Remain steadfast Perseverance Against all opposition Crushing all limitations Pure strength through solitude Discipline and determination You can't accept what you've been told Anchored in sin you must reverse your descent Declare the weight of the world has yet to claim you And admit that your faults will not restrain you Glimpses of fate bring light to your despair Realise truth isn't short of your grasp Resurrect every dream that you've buried alive And never succumb to the war that you fight Your world is coming apart Remain steadfast Perseverance Against all opposition Crushing all limitations Pure strength through solitude Discipline and determination You're Never Alone This is for the kids who have no where to turn Who have nothing to live for You think you haven't the will to persist You have to search within yourself All the work that you've done in vain Been overlooked and taken for granted Only you can end your suffering You must be honest with yourself You have nothing left to lose You feel that everyone's out to get you Been beaten down but the hate still breaths Confined by consequences, it's your soul you must release It's our struggles that define us And the hardships we endure Your spirit can't be broken now You've come too far All your life You told yourself you were never alone All your time Spent on the problems that have no solution In your mind Giving up was never an option Out of spite Hold onto the hate that has helped you stay focused You are one but you're never alone You can't atone for every promise you've broken In this moment there's no way you will fail You must be honest with yourself Use your pain to achieve your goals Make amends while you can and stay focused You can't be burdened by your lack of control Never stray from the path you have chosen (It's our struggles...) (All your life...) (This is for the kids...) This spirit can't be broken [x3] It's who you are (It's our struggles...) Forever Forever Forever convicted [x2] I Will Be Heard Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe the spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes [Now is the time:] I've got to take my life back One chance to make it right I've gotta have my voice be heard And bring meaning to this life Cause I've trusted for nothing I've been led astray I've been tried and tested But I won't accept defeat Now I've done things I regret And its time to reverse the rolls I just want to make good on all the promises that I have made I will be I will be heard I will be heard Through the worst we prevail So our voices will be heard Through the worst we prevail So our voices will be heard I will be I will be heard I will be heard A Call For Blood Your reign of terror is coming to an end And all your victims' pain will be avenged Taker of innocence, I want your demise Tear you apart for the unspeakable things you tried to hide I f**king hate you Every bone in my body will ache `Till I destroy everything you love And fill your life with their pain Ten long f**king years I waited to erase all the memories And you can't f**king stop me My vengeance is finally born Ten long f**king years Your reign of terror is coming to an end And I have no mercy for your soul Your blood is on my hands A call for blood For what you've done No tolerance for what you've done A call for blood For what you've done No tolerance for what you've done All their nightmares, all their pain All their nightmare, all their misery It's all coming back to haunt you Your time is up and you've no where to hide (I f**king hate you...) (Ten long f**king years...) (A call for blood...) Let the blood spill Vengeance is born Below The Bottom Half dead, you trod through life So dependent, a shell of a man Pitiful, you let your vices tell your fate Follower of the blind, you have nothing. My empathy has turned to rage. My pity has turned to hatred. In selfishness you've sunken to the depths. How much lower can you go? All virtue decayed, now a memory So many friendships lost. Only enemies. Shame I feel for you, pain I feel for you. To cleanse yourself you've got to let go. Are you not alone now? Are you not what you've become? Take a look, take a look at yourself. You've gone below the bottom. You've taken their lies as your own. Tried to justify your own hypocrisy. You bear the mark of consequence. You've lied to yourself, you've lied to me. You've betrayed your own soul. Sacrificed all you were. In selfishness you've sunken to the depths. How much lower can you go. (All virtue decayed...) I want to give you the strength to overcome. The strength to reject those who have brought you down. Take a look, take a look at yourself. What do you see what have you become? Take a look, take a look at yourself. You've gone below the bottom. We Still Fight Talk of the causes you support Voice your misdirected views You only comment on the things you don't have the power to change Do you even think before you speak Do you know what it is you condone Take a look at the world today You've taken your freedom and safety for granted How do you justify (you have no right) The way you disgrace those who gave their lives And how do you justify (you have no right) The way you disrespect those who's loved ones died. Everyday is a different crusade You revolt from the safety of your fantasies Privileged, you've never fought for a thing You'd be the first to go if there was real anarchy All your jargon makes me sick You're the farthest thing from an activist You've lost sight of what's important and real You've taken your freedom and safety for granted (How do you justify...) This is dedicated to all those who gave their lives to uphold their beliefs Not to those who try to demean their sacrifices You have no right. For those who fought our rights and for those who gave their lives. And for the families who's love ones died. It's their honor for which we still fight. Unloved When it all ended There was no where left to turn I hid inside myself hoping someone would find me That day never came As the years passed the pain lessened I thought your voice was silenced forever I was wrong This time there's no turning back Emerge from a doorway at the end of a what inside my soul There's no picking up where we left off And there will not be a future I've died so many times inside I've accepted this pain And I can't look back now I never will You don't know You don't care You never have and you never will [repeat] You made me realize Everything I've ever known of love is pain And the person you once were Has died and rotted away I've lived with this knife in my heart As a reminder of what I can't be As a reminder of what I can't be I know all I do is hate you There is nothing you can say or do You don't know You don't care You never have and you never will [repeat] You were never part of my life And you never will be Unloved Bloodsoaked Memories Those wounds have been revealed Clawing through this wasteland No emotion lives, suffocate on hope Swallow your last rational though It tastes of every heart you've devoured Your veins constrict they are choking you Wrapped in vanity, you're dying. Unveiled by searing hatred You gasp for life, you can't hold me now I've let you go, bleed into obscurity Clawing through this wasteland No emotion lives, suffocate on hope Swallow your last rational thought. It tastes of every heart you've devoured You veins constrict Thy are choking you Wrapper in vanity, you're dying Hollow Ground From nothing we have risen and from nothing we still rise Take your life back Fight, fight Will you fight to take you life back? Ask yourself what's truly yours in life Are you in control or someone's slave? All that you cherish, all that you love In the blink f an eye can be taken from you In moments of tragedy we bond And in weakness clarity thrives I've been blessed with the inspiration To take what little I have and always strive Sometimes surviving is all that you can do I never claimed to have all the answers of the solutions My satisfaction is knowing, that my desires will not be killed With a readiness to defend what is mine and never compromise The foundation of our lives Built on hollow ground We must unlearn the prejudice We must unlearn the lies I've seen the calloused I know the jaded I've been disheartened and I've lost control But I never crumbled and I've lost control And I always force myself to believe (The foundation of our lives...) Are you willing to fight? Are you willing? (Take your life back...) Final Prayer Destruction - in its purest form No limit to the vicious damage done Corruption- injustice with no remorse Heinous disregard, our future's uncertain But as life comes from the earth It must return to the ash Cleanse ourselves of those vile traits And crawl back from annihilation Worthless We shatter lives Ruthless We decimate the earth Final prayer Final Prayer for the human race we know our time is running out Millions of people will suffer and die by the hands of those in power Final prayer Final prayer for the human race You must bow to your knees and repent for the human race Awakened To the blood stained face For a world that can not be changed Forever reminded Of a nightmare that is every passing day Worthless we shatter lives Ruthless We decimate the earth (Final prayer...) Smash Your Enemies I hope I'm alive To witness your demise Make you feel my sorrow Encompass all my pain That I've felt for years Dreading each dying day Hanging by a thread On the edge of my sanity When I wake up the real nightmare begins Will I make through my time in living hell? Do I possess the strength to smash my fears into the ground? I've tried to be strong I've tried to overcome but I don't think I possess the strength to carry on I'm torn between, and there's no right choice I've gotta fight back I won't be scarred for life. Healing To Suffer Again I won't be chained to the earth I feel cheated, so I cheat myself I feel defeated, so I defeat myself I drown my sorrows again and again Push away and deny this misery These feelings and instincts remain I'm struggling to pull myself from my grave. Let me be the one with the infinite Let me be the one Let me be the one with the infinite I won't be chained to the earth I just need the will To suppress the urge I can't suppress the urge I've build so many barriers I'm healing to suffer again Time has given me no remorse Spiritually bankrupt Just give me the grace to oppose this sin Haunted by the things I've done Is this guilt and shame the price I pay I hate myself for this weakness I won't be chained to the earth. Judgment Strikes (Unbreakable) Worthless, is what you made your life Failure, is what you set yourself up for You don't have the power To realise your dreams Now you want to take from me Jealousy seethes through your callous words So content you're visionless Void of emotion I pray for someone to release me from your grasp It's evident, your guilt It's evident, that this judgement strikes down on you Unbreakable- and you're guilty Unbreakable- I'm not going down without a fight You try to break my world You breached our trust to destroy me with lies Now you've fallen you're nothing again Live my hatred, its you despise Live my hate Remain Nameless If there's one thing in this world that I must do It will be, prove you wrong Make you take back the lies And bring the truth to the surface Clean my slate and erase All the black you've tried to Tarnish my name with This is conviction What I have inside you'll never possess And because you never understood how I lived You try to disrespect I paid my f**king dues And everything I have in this life I've made from nothing I've done this all on my own That's more than you can say for yourself You disrespect the way I live You take apart what I say You try to judge me Now I'm judging you This time I'm judging you The harder you try and break me The harder I push on If there's one thing in this world that I must do It will be, prove you wrong You never believe in this And you never would admit your fault You've always had everything handed to you But your luck has finally run out I knew from the beginning You had no heart of soul I've always seen through your lies And I'll always hate you for what you are You disrespect the way I live You take apart what I say You try to judge me Now I'm judging you All lyrics are the property and copyright of their respective owners and provided for educational purposes and personal use only
