1 HYPERPOWER!

Down on your knees,You'll be left

behind, This is the beginning, Watch

what you think, They can read your

mind, This is the beginning, I got my

mark, see it in my eyes, This is the

beginning, Well my reflection I don't

recognize, This is the beginning, We

think we've climbed so high, Up all the

backs we've condemned, We face no

consequence, This is the beginning of the end, You wait your turn, You'll be

last in line, This is the beginning, Get

out the way, Cause I'm getting mine,

This is the beginning, There are some

ones that can help themselves, This is

the beginning, May be too late as far

as I can tell, This is the beginning, We

think we've come so far, On all our lies

we depend, We see no consequence,

This is the beginning of the end.

2 The Beginning Of The End

Intrumental

I should have listened to her, So hard

to keep control, We kept on eating

but, Our bloated belly's still not full,

She gave us all she had but, We went

and took some more, Can't seem to

shut her legs, Our mother nature is a

whore, I got my propaganda, I got re-

visionism, I got my violence, In hi-def

ultra-realism, All a part of this great

nation, I got my fist, I got my plan, I

got survivalism, Hypnotic sound of si-

rens, Echoing through the street, The

cocking of the rifles, The marching of

the feet, You see, your world on fire.

Don't try to act surprised, We did just

what you told us, Lost our faith along,

the way and found ourselves belie-

ving your lies, I got my propaganda,

I got revisionism, I got my violence,

In hi-def ultra-realism, All a part of

this great nation, I got my fist, I got

my plan, I got survivalism, All bruised

and broken, bleeding, She asked to

Gunfire in the street, Where we used

to meet, Echoes that are beat, When

the bass goes "bomb", Right over my

head, Step over the dead, Remember

what you said, You know a part about

life, Is just a waking dream, Well I

know what you mean, But that ain't

how it seems right here, right now,

How, can this be real?, I can barely

feel, Anymore, I am trying to see, I

am trying to believe, This is not where

take my hand, I turned, just keep on

walking, But you'd do the same thing

in the circumstance, I'm sure you'll

understand, I got my propaganda, I

got revisionism, I got my violence, In

hi-def ultra-realism, All a part of this

great nation, I got my fist, I got my

plan, I got survivalism.

3 Survivalism

4 The Good Soldier

I should be, I am trying to believe,

Blood hardens in the sand, Cold metal

in my hand, Hope you understand the

way that things are gonna be, There's

nowhere left to hide, 'Cause God is on

our side, I, keep telling myself, I am

trying to see, I am trying to believe,

This is not where I should be, I am

trying to believe.

I let you put it in my mouth, I let it get

under my skin, I let you put it in my

veins, I let you take me from within,

They tell us what we can and cannot

do, Same thing we've heard 100 ti-

mes before, Well, I put you inside of

me, But none of that matters anymo-

re, Oh my God, can it go any faster?,

Oh my God, I don't think I can last

here, I am you and you are me, We

will never be alone, I have finally found

my place in everything, I have finally

found my home, We can leave all the

past behind, I can see right through

the whole façade, I'm becoming so-

mething else, I am turning into God,

Oh my God, can it go any faster?, Oh

my God, I don't think I can last here

Well it's happening ,Never planned

on this ,You've got something I need

,Kind of dangerous, And I'm losing

control, I'm not used to this, What

you want from me, I'm not used to

this, I can't shut it off, This, thing

I've begun, And it's hard to tell, Just

where it's coming from, And it's hard

to see, What I'm capable of, And it's

hard to believe, Just, what I've be-

come, Hey, can we stop, Me, I'm not,

Hey, can we stop, Me, I'm not, Hey,

can we stop, Me, I'm not, Hey, can

we stop, Me, I'm not, I can swallow

it down, Keep it all inside, I define

myself, By how well I hide, I feel it

coming apart, Well, at least I tried

5 Vessel 6 Me, I'm Not

I pushed the button and elected him

to office, He pushed the button and

he dropped the bomb, You pushed

the button and could watch in on the

television, Those motherfuckers didn't

last too long, I'm sick of hearing about

the have and have not's. Have some

personal accountability. The biggest

problem with the way that we are

doing things is. The more we let you

have the less that I'll be keeping for

me. Well I use to stand for something,

Now I'm on my hands and knees,

Turning in the god of this war, And he

signs his name with a capital G, Don't

give a shit about the temperature in

Guatemala, Don't really see what all

the fuss is about, Ain't gonna worry

about no future generations, And I'm

sure somebody's gonna figure it out,

Don't try to tell me that some power

can corrupt a person, You hadn't had

enough to know what its like, Your

only angry cause you wish you were in

my position, Now nod your head cause

you know that I'm right..alright!, Well I

You and I, we may look the same, But

we are very far apart, There's bu-

llet-holes where my compassion used

to be, And there is violence in my

heart, Into fire you can send us, From

the fire we return, You can label us

a consequence, Of how much you

have to learn, You can try but you'll

never understand, This is something

you will never understand, Can you

hear it now?, Hear it coming now?,

Can you hear it now?, On hands and

knees, We crawl, You cannot stop us

all, you wear our bones, our skin, We

7 Capital G

use to stand for something, But for-

got what that could be, Theres a lot

of me inside you, Maybe your afraid

to see, Well I use to stand for so-

mething, Well I'm on my hands and

knees, Turning in the god of this

war, And he signs his name with a

capital G

8 My Violent Heart

will not let you in, You have set so-

mething in motion, Much greater than

you've ever known, Standing there in

all your grand naivety, About to reap

what you have sown, Time will feed

upon your weaknesses

And soon you'll lose the will to care,

When you return to the place that

you call home, We will be there, we

will be there, On hands and knees,

We crawl, You cannot stop us all, Our

blood will stay, We will not go away,

On hands and knees, We crawl, You

can not stop us all, Our blood, our

grace, Will never leave this place, We

crawl, We crawl, We crawl, We crawl

Some say it was a warning, Some say

it was a sign, I was standing right

there, When it came down from the

sky, The way it spoke to us, You felt

it from inside, Said it was up to us,

Up to us to decide, You've become a

virus, That's eaten up its host, We've

been watching you with all our eyes,

And what you seem to value most,

"So much potential" or so we used to

say, Your greed, self-importance and

your arrogance, You piss it all away,

We heard a cry, We've come to inter-

vene, You will change your ways and

you will like this, And we will wipe this

place clean, Your time is tick-tick-

ticking away

Hey man, please don't make a sound,

Take a look around, can't you see

what's right in front of you, Have a

little taste, no more time to waste, You

don't wanna get left behind cause it's

all coming down right now, How hard

9 The Warning

10 God Given

is it to see, Put your faith in me, 'Cau-

se you wouldn't want to be nailed, To

the wrong piece of wood, You should

get where you belong, Everything you

know is wrong, Come on, sing along,

everybody now, God given, And it

gives us sight, And we see the light,

And it burned so bright, Now we know

we're right, And Thy will be done,

We've just begun, We're the chosen

ones, Wait, step into the light, How can

this be right?, I'm afraid we're going

to ask you to leave, This you cannot

win, With the color of your skin, You

won't be getting into the Promised

Land, It's just another case, You peo-

ple still don't know your place, Step

aside, out the way, wipe that look of

your face, Defiance, Raining from the

sky, Come on, sing along, everybody

now, God given, And it gives us sight,

And we see the light, And it burned so

bright, Now we know we're right, And

Thy will be done, We've just begun,

We're the chosen ones

Bow down in position, Against the

polished steel, This is something di-

fferent, You'll like the way this feels,

No time for asking questions, No time

for wondering, We've had enough of

you now, You've heard everything,

You want to play a new game, You

put on this blindfold, You do what

we tell you, You do as you're told,

Used to be the leader, Now comes

the time to serve, Maybe we'll show

some mercy, Maybe you'll get what

you deserve, Countdown to the end,

but make it go faster, This is your

disaster, Countdown to the end, but

make it go faster, Come on down, my

friend, It's time to meet your master,

You've left quite a mess here under

your stewardship, You thought you

figured it out but you'll find your place

in this, You think its so convincing, you

think you see the truth, Give us so

many things, now who's got time for

you, Countdown to the end, but make

it go faster, This is your disaste,

Countdown to the end, but make it

go faster, Come on down, my friend,

It's time to meet your master, Come

on down

11 Meet Your Master 12 The Greater Good

Say your name., Try to speak

as clearly as you can., You know

everything gets written down., Nod

your head., Just in case they could be

watching., With their shiny satellite., I

hope they cannot see., The limitless

potential., Living inside of me., To

murder everything., I hope they can-

not see., I am the great destroyer.,

Turn it up., Listen to the shit they

pump into your head., Filling you with

apathy., Hold your breath., Wait until

you know the time is right on time.,

The end is near., I hope they cannot

see., The limitless potential, Living in-

side of me., To murder everything., I

hope they cannot see, I am the great

destroyer

Instrumental

13 The Great Destroyer

14 Another Version of the Truth

Watch the sun, As it crawls across a

final time, And it feels like, Like it was

a friend., It is watching us,, And the

world we set on fire, Do you wonder,,

If it feels the same?, And the sky is

filled with light, Can you see it?, All

the black is really white, If you believe

it, As your time is running out, Let me

take away your doubt, You can find

a better a place, In this twilight, Dust

to dust,, Ashes in your hair remind

me, What it feels like, And I won't feel

again, Night descends, Could I have

been a better person, If I could only do

it all again, And the sky is filled with

light, Can you see it?, All, the black is

really white, If you believe it, And the

longing, that you feel, You know none

of this is real, You will find a better a

place, In this twilight

God have mercy on our souls, God

have mercy on our dirty little hearts,

We just wanted to know what it was

like, All we are worth is zeros and

ones
