FACTION ZERO LYRICS
WAR STORY
Stealth bomber
thrust at full throttle
fully loaded with nuclear bombs
another nation
my destination
flying low over jungle palms
they tortured and killed my father
a prisoner of war
now I have returned to do
what we should have done before
I’ve stold the plane
I’ve stold the bombs
I’m on my way back
To avenge those who are gone
into position
target acquisition
flight plan
locked and complete
warheads armed
countermeasures on
they can’t shoot down
what they cant see
they say we
lost
how can you lose?
when you won’t
accept defeat
with utmost joy
cities destroyed
into fireballs
of nuclear heat
I’ve got the plane
I’ve got the bombs
I’m on my way back
back to to get
this done
Now you want peace
there can’t be peace
until I’ve had
my final release
release that comes
from endless pain
I feel the closure
as the bombs rain
Bombs Away!
SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY
Into the night
the riots raging
Blood is shed on all sides
The innocents fall to this chaos
Washed away on hatred’s tide
Its not what has to be
Its not our destiny
Its just a false reality
We’ve got to find a way
To save humanity from
Self fulfilling prophecy
The riots
spread to total chaos
Brining on civil war
Those who join in the brutal combat
Soon forget what they’re fighting for
The media kills
the truth
Poisoned minds of the youth
The roots of hate then grip so deep
Into us all they probe and seep
Then all it
takes is just one spark
To wake the animal in the dark
places of our hearts
and civilization will fall
THE BURNING
Your soul is lost
The years have been empty
Unfulfilling and bleak
All that you’ve done
Flashed by in an instant
A heartbeat, a blink
There’s no Perfect world
That will ever be
Why burn your soul
In self pity?
Can’t change the past
Through your misery
Your burden of guilt
Won’t set you free
Worship the
ones
Who hold you in bondage
Enslaved, without care
Caught in their web
You fight and you struggle
But the strength just isn’t there
IMAGE OF GOD
When you awake
And greet the sun
The Earth below
The sky above
Creation by
design
In the image of God
When all life ends
In the final conflict
The earth broken
The sky - shattered
Destruction by
design
In the image of man
Trees crushed
beneath armored treads
Smoking craters where people once lived
Techno-icons worshipped
Upon the day they cause mass death
A time of callous hate
Unmaking of what God made
In the image of man
It is the way of man
To destroy
What we don’t understand
Creation is a mystery
Un-creation is
easy
SHADOWS OF THE PAST
To kill these shadows of the past
to break these ties that bind
a plan must be devised
To fight against all that has held me back
and forced me down
the weapons must be found
Shadows of the past
the ghosts of yesterday
they've got me twisted and torn
Shadows of the past
the ghosts of yesterday
they've got me by the throat
I'm worn
To strain the truth form my distortions of the facts
I strive to find a way
To erase the pain
that holds my happiness at bay
I struggle to escape
Shadows - of - the - past
Shadows of the past
the ghosts of yesterday
Shadows of the past
the ghosts of yesterday...
To Become More Civilized…
Voices urging
us to try,
To become more civilized
If we bow down to the PROPHETS OF DOOM,
We’ll rot in apathy’s tomb
The world will bleed us dry,
While we wonder if we’re civilized
Patient,
pleasant, caring beings,
Who close their eyes to all that’s seen
Prophets of doom beseeching
They urge us to obey them
And change the social fabric
To suicidal madness
Insane ideas accepted
Common sense rejected
And havoc is projected
On people who are helpless
Prophets of Doom

GIVE AND TAKE
The precious gift of life
I have been given
Cannot seem to get it right
a purpose I am missing
Holding me accountable
for actions I have taken
Build me up to knock me down
I'm not breaking!
I have the strength and will
with pure determination
I will be strong and fight
never breaking concentration
Question what's in my heart
I don't understand
When you've got a problem
I try to lend a hand
Give you all I can give
never short your hand
As long as it don't affect
the place in which I stand
I have the strength and will
Of pure determination
I will stand up and fight
never breaking concentration
Do just what's best for me and my situation
The tension building up
does not concern me
I just don't give a fuck
I am not giving up
You take, you give, give and take
what's for me?
COME FULL CIRCLE
Warp my consciousness
tell me black is white
Fill my empty cup with lies
Feed me with frustration
portray life that's pointless
Try not to reflect on all that has passed
The years the tears the anger the hate
Emptiness and suffering alone, to feel the strain
My confidence is shattered, isolated distrust
I hate and despise you and curse you to dust
Errors from the trials
subjected to the crowd
Obey the written enforced rules
Correction misconception
digested false ingestion
Try not to reflect on all that has passed
LIBERATION
Corruption is the cause
manipulation stored
fed the twisted truth
no moral issue
It is the only war
for something that is pure
travesty succumbs
Liberation!
Something's gotta give
Find a way to live
Got to find the truth
Get us back to the roots
Got to get us back to the roots
AGE OF VIOLENCE
Peace, what a joke, don't make me laugh
A with a scope, a bomb blast
The media adds to the hype of the violence
Encouraging us, to loot and riot
Age Of Violence
Growing stronger every day
Age Of Violence
Fading are the ones that who care
Age Of Violence
hatred lives in all of us
Age Of Violence
Age of violence gonna bust
Can't get along with each other, love isn't strong
its gone between brothers
Can't stop the growth of the seeds of hate
Killing to get further, is our human trait
War infested world, streets controlled by crime
Ignorance forced down or throats
To hate loath all different kinds
Hate crimes on the rise, with bombs, guns, knives and clips
Look at what our worlds become and what we've done to it
Wars of religion, ethnic groups, classes and race
technology to blow our world out of space
Gone
Aggressive behavior, it cant subside
blood of a racist flows inside
A sickness that cant be treated within the mind
Inferiority is a crime
BOTTOM END
Pick myself up, back up again
Up from the ashes that burned me again
Felt all the pain, the bottom end
Got to rise up, above, ascend
Its slowly getting better
The pain is starting to subside
Time is healing my afflictions
And I'm regaining my pride
Leaving behind the craze
Learning to live for today
Won't let you get me down
The thorns in my side have been ripped out.
Its all up to me
To end this
truly believe
Leave behind this mess
move forward
achieve success
A FAR CRY
Imagine who you thought you were, you were really not
How man has come to be sick, twisted and distraught
That we do not rule supreme most intelligent form of life
In common sensibility, just a fragment of a light
A far cry, for the speechless
No substance to prove your point
Our fellow man why must they beseech us
Construction, null and void
A far cry, out of sequence
no substance behind your point
our fellow man why must they beseech us
Construction
Empowered by the apathy imposed upon your life
Communications-less socially with no salvation in sight
The picture you paint you see of all things that have passed
The guidelines of formality are seen through the same glass
Taken away subtract
Draining, decay, exact
CHOICES
Dealing with all these choices in front of me
alternatives to choose from, the life I'm gonna lead
Where I'm going, what I'm doing, the panic hits
Will I find out later that I'm not cut out for it
I remember when decisions were made for me
Now I'm in the real world, now it's up to me
Abandoned, all alone, time to decide
If I'm going to deal with your strife
The time has come to
put up or shut up
Make way now, or give in give up
You can't put the blame on someone else
Beside yourself
Got to ask you self this question
Is this right for me?
Got to make your dreams a reality
Adulthood hits you hard, it's gone too far
Wishing you were young again when life wasn't this hard
All you had was school and everything was free
Your parents supplied you with everything that you ever need
back now to the real, face another day
Kids are crying because their hungry, bills you haven't paid
unemployment checks, can't catch a break
no grip on your future and your past can't be replaced
Choices in front of me
What do I want to be?
The choice is clear to see
NEXT WAR
Walking down the street today
Saw a cloud, black and gray
People running, woman screamed
The war begun right in the streets
Round us up to fucking die
For what reason, I don't know why
Useless battle, going to die
So i sat on the curb and started getting high
What is wrong, with your fucking head
What makes you think we're going to fight, until we're dead
You started a war, you're going to repeat it
The bomb will kill us all, no mater who directs it
Senseless leaders fighting wars
Don't you know that your the cause?
INSIDE
We can make a difference
Standing on our position
Won't give in to resistance
Won't let them
Hold us down
Knock down the walls around us
Impounded in our conscious
Preventing forward progress
We have to break new ground
Away from what you are teaching
Your control of what is reason
A subliminal form of treason
locked up, inside your boundaries
Kept, restricted
Strength, resistance
Rid ourselves of corruption
Clear our minds of obstruction
incoherent ears hear nothing
we must do something
Kept, restricted
free from resistance
Change the balance
break from you mental prison
inside your boundaries
Striving to make a difference
mot a part of your statistics
We control what the future is
Stop living inside your boundaries
VENT
We all need someone to talk to
We all need someone to listen
We all need to ventilate frustration
Before it becomes indifference
An outlet to channel out
the conflict built up inside
Dispose of it before it amounts
recycle the stress and the strife
To set free the pain
Release the anger
and let go to gain
We must set things straight
Pressure compounds inside you
is this what makes you tick
Exploding on all that surrounds you
with not relation to it
No control
Vent
exhaust and let it go
Consolidate the new
along with the old
Picking up the pieces
put them back in place
Got to break the mold
In order to save face
We must eliminate
To change our mental state
Eviction notice
Set things straight
DEPRESSION
Defunct
Depressed, the end is near
Confused, nothings clear
Problems, are everywhere
Life's not supposed to be like this
No one seems to understand
Please someone give me a hand
Frustration, smothers me
Drowning me in agony
Pitying myself
I don't know why
Everything is black
Why even try
Numb to the world at the ceiling I stare
Reality has disappeared for me and I don't even care
Depression
THE CHAIN
Betray, befriend The traumatics never end
Conniving and lying, playing fools for your friends
Self infected homicide is weakening your health
There's no gun to your head, you do this to yourself
But still you make excuses, try to shift the blame
Creator of your chaos, now you suffer from the pain
Expecting something different, repeat the same mistakes
A shallow lifeless being, your feelings have been erased
how do I break this chain, find the missing link
I must give my self will up, admit that I am weak
I know what I must do, but I still shy away
Determined to break through this wall, in my own selfish way
Afraid to face the fact, a fact I've got to change
My disease keeps playing tricks, manipulates and kicks inside my brain
Angered at the world for what this world's done to me
Hopeless case, worthless slave, give me what i need
I guess its just a waste, a case that I'll never learn
Schizophrenic, hard headed my concern I will not change
I will not change or submit defer or rearrange
Attitude I can't adjust, no one to blame except myself
MISGUIDED
Our society and their systematic lies
The majority says were not, one of their kind
Held back by our system, manipulative ways
Today's youth, misguided direction, left in disarray
Misguided
We follow the blind
Defiance
Not one of their kind
We search for the solutions, to these moral crimes
Our minds confused, disillusioned, misinformed and blind
The children, they ain't got no future and they have no say
Our hands have assured ourselves, of this wasted fate
Misguided
We follow the blind
The silence
Deaf, dumb and we can't compute the weak and the blind
We spent all our money and now were spending theirs
Jobs are disappearing and the government doesn't care
Deficit increases, grows larger by the minute
Our nations economy is all but gone.
Presidential promise, read my lying lips
Improve our situation, what the fuck is this?
Trade and education, yet still I'm out of work
All this time and money played me like a jerk expert
Our society and their systematic lies
The majority says were not, one of their kind
We search for the solutions, to these moral crimes
Our minds confused, disillusioned, misinformed and blind
TIES OF INTEGRITY
Living in your wasted world
Ruled by insanity
Feeding on destruction
Living by your decree
Burn
magnify the life I lead
Down
tranquilized until you're overfed
Black
blackened dream of infinity
Close
close the ties of integrity
Clouding your perception
Descending beneath
Continuing aggression
Drowning in your sea
Burn
intensity, intentions dead
False
clouded dream of immortality
Learn
rectify the silence said
Close
close the ties of integrity
You burn in pain
Disintegrate, fade
led away, gone astray
No will just blind anticipation
In demand, underhand
Depend on your medication
Pain you bear, always there
Living behind a substance
Stranglehold on your soul
You lost
WHEN TINGS SLOW DOWN
Fearing growing old,
forward progress stalls
When things slow down
your body wearing down
you start forgetting what you know
The years are flying by,
through the cycles of your life
You age and see the world so differently
When things slow down
You try to fight, can't get it right
no way to stop the process of your aging
Feeling the pain, lifeless and drained, senile not sane
Disregard reality following your farfetched dream to be something you cannot be
To get back to the kid you knew before you grew up, is fading
When things slow down
and you will see,
everything the way it used to be
Your morals change, they're not the same
And they never will be
MINDSET
Losing ground slipping form all that I am
My mind submitting, losing grip fast
I can't get back in touch with reality
if there's something there then why can't I see
Can't understand what you see
Stuck inside this mindset, I can't break free
Struggle within
oppressed in mind
Nothing that I do can break the confines
Stuck within,
caught inside of your mind
Left without, constant doubt, look around
A lifetime of pain
I have endured
Can't find the key to unlock the door
The harder I look
it seems the further I get
Deeper I'm falling in this mindset
losing self worth
blanketed hurt
A cycle that started your date of birth
No respect for self, then who'll respect you?
The wall you've been building up has engulfed you
you will find
This is our place, it's not your place
Your in a mindset
Inner mindset
