All Hope Is Gone
Album - 20 agosto 2008 - Debaser id 512077

It appears that we have reached the Edge, that zenith where stimuli and comatose collide.
Forty years ago, THE MAN proclaimed the Age of the Gross to be upon us, and even though THE MAN was destroying our heritage and insulting our intelligence,
that era has become very real.
We labor for pleasure and abhor the guilt of pressure.
My generation will go down as the architects of contemporary disgust.
Some have fought and died.
Others have allowed the strong to be butchered for a price they themselves don't care about and will never understand.
I myself am beleaguered by the selfish face of a kind of man that is NOT MANKIND.
Distrust in information.
Fundamentalism of opinion.
Catastrophic boredom, and a fanatical devotion to that which DOES NOT MATTER.
Where is your glory now, people?
Where are your gods and politicians?
Where is your shame and salvation?
You Rage For No Reason Because You Have No Reason.

WHAT HAVE YOU EVER FOUGHT FOR?
WHAT HAVE YOU EVER BLED FOR?
THE FACE OF THE EARTH IS SCARRED WITH THE WALKING DEAD.
THE AGE OF THE GROSS IS A LIVING VIRUS.
THIS IS THE FUTURE YOU HAVE CREATED.
THIS IS THE WORLD YOU HAVE SET ABLAZE.
ALL YOUR LIES ARE COMING TRUE.
ALL FREEDOM IS LOST.
ALL HOPE IS GONE.

That was all I got and now you got me
All I ever really wanted was to take the blame
I will go down in history and not down in flames

Meningitis, I will survive this
Dry Sockets and a Schizophrenic Crisis
The Time of The Nine has begun
Get out of the way or you will suffer as one

This is so typical, APOCALYPTICAL
Hanging on abysmal release, Jesus
I don't need this/Don't wanna be this
Icon in the Making/My hands are fucking shaking

What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?

Remember/Surrender
The Time is Now
Continue, we're in you
And we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real

Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real

Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

Down...

We will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down

Feed the Hungry- Feed them shit
Feed them BONES and POLITICS
You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes

Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life

Remember/Surrender
The Time is Now
Continue, we're in you
And we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real

Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

Down...
Down...
We will burn your cities down

Down...
Down...
We will burn your cities down

America... what if 'God' doesn't care?
What if 'God' doesn't care?

I did my time and I want out
So effusive - fade - it doesn't cut
The soul is not so vibrant

The reckoning, the sickening
Packaging subversion
Pseudo-sacrosanct perversion

Go drill your deserts,
Go dig your graves
Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save

Sinking in, getting smaller again
I'm done, it has begun
I'm not the only one

And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial
Psychosocial
Psychosocial

Psychosocial
Psychosocial
Psychosocial

Cool there are cracks in the road we laid
But where the devil fell
The secrets have gone mad

This is nothing new,
But when we killed it all
The hate was all we had

Who needs another mess?
We could start over
Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong

Now there's only emptiness
Venomous, insipid
I think we're done
I'm not the only one

And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial
Psychosocial
Psychosocial

Psychosocial
Psychosocial
Psychosocial

The limits of the dead
The limits of the dead
The limits of the dead
The limits of the dead

Fake anti-fascist lie
I tried to tell you but
Your purple hearts are giving out

Can't stop a killing idea
If it's hunting season
Is this what you want?
I'm not the only one

And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

The limits of the dead
The limits of the dead

Sitting in the dark, I can't forget
Even now, I realize the time I'll never get
Another story of the bitter pills of fate
I can't go back again
I can't go back again
But you asked me to love you, and I did
Traded my emotions for a contract to commit
And when I got away, I only got so far
The other me is dead
I hear his voice inside my head

We were never alive, and we won't be born again
But I'll never survive with dead memories in my heart
You told me to love you, and I did
Tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit
So when I got away, I only kept my scars
The other me is gone
Now I don't know where I belong

We were never alive, and we won't be born again
But I'll never survive with dead memories in my heart
With dead memories in my heart
Dead visions in your name
Dead fingers in my veins
Dead memories in my heart

I know my uses/I have my pride
But my heart is still untamed
I learned my lessons/I've conquered Death
I go on and I'm unashamed

I'll paint your bones to match my eyes
They're the darkest I have ever seen
Until I'm lucid, I can't be told
I know my voices, they tell me to believe

Another fucking accident out of control
All the attitudes will never change
My Imitations are leading the way
I can't accept that, I still don't find this strange

In light of my ability to feel denial
I walk away from everything with just a smile
The Agony of Coming Home has gone away
It's Everywhere/It's Everyone/It's Every Day

''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?
''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?

I beg your pardon/I'm out of the way
A new conspiracy has taken my place
So over and over, I smell the decay
Believe what you want to- The Cycle Stays The Same

In light of my ability to undermine
I walk from apathy- I'm feeling fine
The Agony of Cynicism beckons me
It's Everywhere/It's Everyone/It's Everything

''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?
''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?

''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?
''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?

Let's ''(pretend)'' pretend we're not at the end
''(Pretend)'' Pretend that we have nothing left
Let's ''(pretend)'' pretend we're not at the end
''(Pretend)'' Pretend that we have nothing left

Let's ''(pretend)'' pretend we're not at the end
''(Pretend)'' Pretend that we have nothing left
Let's ''(pretend)'' pretend we're not at the end
''(Pretend)'' Pretend that we have nothing left

Are you ready for the time of your life?
''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?

''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?
''(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)''
Are you ready for the time of your life?

Let's ''(pretend)'' pretend we're not at the end
''(Pretend)'' Pretend that we have nothing left
Let's ''(pretend)'' pretend we're not at the end
''(Pretend)'' Pretend that we have nothing left

Contrite - commercial - arrogance - leprosy
Consume the bitch - the fucker - mindless - like a child
For pity's sake - I've had all that I can take
We try - but in the end we'll see
There are no more codes
Only who is shit
And who's still free
I was gonna change the world
With honor and aggression
No one listened - no one cared
All they saw was misdirection

Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again

I don't want you anymore (I don't want you anymore)
I don't need you anymore (I don't need you anymore)
Fingerprint of god
Your new religions covet
This vessel wasn't built to last
But I will live forever
You'll never have to say surrender
Because you're so part of it
My total honesty has no place for tomorrow
Guilty pleasures give me pain
Tell my people I can't follow

Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again

You'll never censor me
You'd better cherish me
My reason has a voice
Freedom's gone but we'll always have a choice
My present future tense
It doesn't make much sense
I'm coming after you
Fuck you all I'm the only point of view

Violence and dollar signs
Another processed piece of shit
You hide your fault in diamonds and give away the only
Cost - you can't delay the inevitable
Lost - don't understand the incredible path
I'm losing ground - but I won't care when I go down

Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again
Go ahead and disagree

I'm giving up again
I'm giving up again
I'm giving up again

Thou shalt not
Kill your fathers - Destroy another life
Question everything we clung to for years
Live forever - Design a better death
Confuse a liar with a savior from fear
Create a myth and separate the chosen ones
Adolescent independence / Dominion
I only wanna believe in fuckin’ anything
But now my conscience is contradicting everything

The endings the same / The world will not change
The answer is clear

Tell your mothers they have no sons or daughters
Blame yourselves because your children are mine
We are orphans, but we are not forgotten
And we will find a way to save us this time
We can run, but we are tired of running
We’re dropping seconds in a glass ‘til we die
We only wanna believe in fuckin’ everything
But we’re alive and we’re not accepting anything

The endings the same / The world will not change
The answer is clear... annihilation

I won’t control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I’m stronger - better
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I’m stronger - better - more

We have to save ourselves

I will never become another piece
Inside the paralytic construct I hate
Live forever? Well, I would rather die
At least I’d know I wasn’t theirs to create
This is yours, but you had better choose
Before they take away your right to decide
I guess I’ll never believe in fuckin’ anything
But my solace is I can handle everything

The endings the same / The world will not change
The answer is clear... obliteration

I won’t control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I’m stronger - better
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I’m stronger - better
I won’t control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I’m stronger - better
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I’m stronger - better - more

We have to save ourselves

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there

Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone, I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change, I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know
If you still care, don't ever let me know

The state of the nation - violation!
A broken promise is as good as a lie.
The hell is humongous, the devil's among us
and we will burn because we won't unite!

We won't witness anymore freedom.
Where is anybody? Do we need 'em?"
I would rather fight,
than let another die.
We're the problem,
but we're also the solution.
ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!

If you want you cannot take it from me.
If you think you can, you still don't know me.
Let me tell you, when I said it, I meant it
and I will always have the right to defend it.

Fifty seconds, a hundred murders.
The bill of rights is a bill of sale.
What will you do when the war is over?
What will you do when your systems fail!?

[chorus]
We have made the presence -obsolete.
What do you want?
What do you need?
We'll find a way,
When all hope is gone!
We've seen the fall of the elite.
Bury your life,
Take your disease.
We'll end the world,
when all hope is gone!

[chorus]
The wretched are the wounded,
The hungry starved to death.
At a place where no-one goes,
the air itself is a final breathe.
So discontinue,
the antisceptic cash charade.
As the cry of justice comes,
Our malignant fire fades.

I am the reason your future suffers.
I am the hatred you won't embrace.
I am the worm of a pure distinction.
I am the remedy, spit in my face!
All your lies and wars are out-dated.
All your subjects are dulling mind games.
I can rattle off a million other reasons why
but doesn't matter when the only thing we love will die.

[chorus 2x]
