Fire 01:52
alone and unhappy in a place i love it's like the smoke has blown away i've thrown in the towel, i've put up the flag this is my home, but i don't wanna stay. but then... it starts with a spark, it's got all the emotion and all the heart. and then... it's off with a shot the feeling, the power that goes for the gut!! you gotta feed the fire! feed the fire that burns! you gotta feed the fire that burns a hole right through me cause this shit still means everything! convinced there's no way out stuck in a hole, consumed with self-doubt when i feel the fire that starts to ignite, i'm back on my feet and back in the fight! and then... it starts with a spark, it's got all the emotion and all the heart. and then... it's off with a shot the feeling, the power that goes for the gut!! you gotta feed the fire that burns you gotta feed the fire that burns you gotta feed the fire that burns

just another novelty - forward into hell just another fad - forward into hell give me anger, give me hate - forward into hell cause i must be just how you rate - forward into hell shrug off and criticize us if you think you'll bring me down but it's my blood, my love, and my life and i won't be pushed around! forward into hell! forward into hell! push me, put me through hell - forward into hell iron will that won't budge - forward into hell go ahead and hold a grudge - forward into hell this is my town, this is my keep - forward into hell i've got the strength that never sleeps - forward into hell shrug off and criticize us if you think you'll bring me down but it's my blood, my love, and my life and i won't be pushed around! forward into hell! forward into hell! push me, put me through hell - forward into hell

Outcast 02:16
alone in my room, i'm barred from the world i've chosen this prison to block me from yours there's no need for acceptance, no need to be torn no need to be welcomed then pushed out and scorned no need for acceptance, no need to be torn cause i'll stand on the outside, i will not conform! back in reality they sneer and deface but they're just the decor taking up space! outcast outcast, out of reach out of line outcast outcast, out of tune out of time outcast outcast, avoided ignored outcast outcast outcast outcast i'd rather be an outcast! content with resentment, rejected by choice i'm wielding my own thoughts, i have my own voice outcast outcast, out of reach out of line outcast outcast, out of tune out of time outcast outcast, avoided ignored outcast outcast outcast outcast i'd rather be an outcast... and i know i'll outlast you!

shake my hand to make amends watch the way your smile bends sincerity, your middle name? that's a trait you'd need to gain we don't need, we don't need, we don't need friends like you! talking shit on your friends guilty of what you condemn get your courage through a screen cause weak and fragile are what you've always been we don't need, we don't need, we don't need friends like you! we don't need your petty arrogance we don't need guidance on how to be god sent we don't need for you to get a clue because we don't need friends like you.

young, dumb and juiced like an over-ripened fruit former high school bigshot with far too much to prove preyed on the weak because he knew he'd never lose but when the tables finally turned more than his body was bruised broken, broken spirit pride gets real quiet when there's no one to hear it broken, broken spirit crippled his ego with no one to fear it sore and ashamed when his true colors did show arrogance subsides when he would take the final blow pushed back to his thoughts, back when he was a star but he made the wrong play and now he's spent hard! broken, broken spirit pride gets real quiet when there's no one to hear it broken, broken spirit crippled his ego with no one to fear it and no, there's no way out live through his days, wrought with self-doubt and no, there's no way out he'll live through his days...

Call To Arms 03:30
the feeling isn't right and you've seen this before the world's out to sea and you're stuck on the shore the words get lost on the tip of your tongue you can't find the answer but you're not the only one the timing is right, but you've gotta act fast to see a different future, and not the one in the past and when the words get lost on the tip of your tongue then let out the sirens, cause you're not the only one! as friends, as brothers, we'll see things to the end. as friends, as brothers, we'll show them where we stand. it's a call to arms, a call to arms. sound the alarm when you can't find the meaning, when you lose all faith when you're stuck in a rut, when you need the change when the words get lost on the tip of your tongue then let out the sirens, cause you're not the only one as friends, as brothers, we'll see things to the end. as friends, as brothers, we'll show them where we stand. it's a call to arms, so sound the alarm

The Truth 01:32
it's the truth, the truth, that sticks with you! it's the truth, the truth, that sticks with you! it's the truth, the truth, that sticks with you! it's the truth, the truth, that sticks with you! friends stand together, can't be ripped apart! friends stand together, united at heart!

We've Had It 02:57
do you ever wonder why? why all the things you love all lay down and die? when all the violence and all the hate rear their heads and stare you in the face in the very place you thought that meant so much well tough... you know this all too well. and enough is enough is enough! enough!! there's plenty of people here so let's fight each other we aren't friends so it doesn't matter obsessed with our image and who we'll impress cause it's all about us so fuck everyone else just a fucking act gone right off the tracks you say "well that's tough!" i say enough is enough! we've had enough... we've had it! let's drink and fight for violence sake we've got no release but just bones to break just a fucking act gone right off the tracks you say "well that's tough!" i say enough is enough! we've had enough... we've had it!

whatever happened to the simple things we shared? when the music was the central point to the reason we're all here but now it's just a bunch of laughs and the joke's on you, the joke's on you the punchline spits on a rejected past and the joke is on you. joke's on you, joke's on you! joke's on you, joke's on you! joke's on you, joke's on you! the joke is on you. an army of outcasts, in need of escape or sarcastic clowns pissing on our dreams? consumer culture getting in on the gag the nail in the coffin for the times we had. joke's on you, joke's on you! joke's on you, joke's on you! joke's on you, joke's on you! the joke is on you. it's a loser pissing contest, a rally for king of the freaks i can see the comedy straight and true just remember that, that the joke is on you.

What You Get 02:09
it's what you get, it's what you get. i'm sorry you get screwed in the end but that's just how it works head held high when it was comin your way but now you're face first in the dirt. it's what you get, it's what you get. i'm sorry things ended this way but i just can't seem to care pushing your problems on everyone else then deserving of the lions share it's what you get, it's what you get. and if you want something more to break and if you want something more to take then don't bother coming looking my way just do what you can to stay far away

Time For War 02:11
played, betrayed, an all out war since your convictions washed on my shore telling other people exactly what to think but your mind shuts off when your patience starts to shrink constantly at war cause you never listen. you won't listen, you don't listen, so stop! control takes full advantage of your peers scene police bring wartime fears PC gestapo preaching solidarity but all i see is a veteran of her own hypocrisy constantly at war cause you never listen. you won't listen, you don't listen, so stop! tired of all the lies and petty bullshit too and here's the breaking news: not everyone thinks like you! go and lock us up and throw away the key convinced you'll live in "harmony" away from types who would question you red scare if they fit the shoe better off dead, with what you see and what you said "cause if they aren't like me off with their head!"

Slow Burn 04:18
failure turns to suicide just a pile of ash blowing far out in the sky a slow burn that won't die out because there is always a light when there's confusion and doubt and with all the fights i'll never win, i'll find the strength to get up again. watch the slow burn, the smoke still fills my pride watch the slow burn cause some flames never die when the fire dies out like sunset to dusk laying waste to the spirit, leaving nothing but dust.
