Mistreatment exposed with blood
Police target minority groups
Exemption for the sadist seekers
A graveyard of human rights
Authority, the ruler of our laws
It prays on age, gender, your skin
Social order: a systemic illusion
Discipline to suppress indignation
Punishment for not complying
The governance, flawed, misleading
Authority, the ruler of our laws
It prays on age, gender, your skin
Social
Harm
Search and find the power abuse
Documented police misconduct
Evident, the racial profiling
Death count, no reasonable cause
Authority, the ruler of our laws
It prays on age, gender, your skin
Social
Harm
The questions grow
As caskets close
Unsettled minds join
To become heard
From the mishandling arrives the need for accountability
Because you’ll find the cops
That shall seek
Their impunity
To be kept freed
From the mishandling arrives the need for accountability
On officers
The narrow-mindedness
Filled with prejudice
To govern their reasons.
For the headlines have read
Every twenty eight hours
A person of color
Is killed by a cop
A call to challenge
These unjust actions
To be held accounted
To honor those lost
Yearly, police
Claim more than one-
Thousand victims
Greatest percent
Of the lives lost
Are the non-white
Unarmed people
A call to challenge
These unjust actions
To be held accounted
To honor those lost

Material Possession
03:59
|

With emotion one reasons
That their possessions
Equate to euphoria
And produce fulfillment
The Existing
Apotheosis
As the participants
In consumer culture
Advertising “satisfaction”
In the latest item, current bliss
They work for that fix
To sustain their delusion
The Existing
Apotheosis
As the participants
In consumer culture
Absorbing the products
Propelling the markets
In this nation’s cycle
Of materialism
They live
To consume
There's been no out
They want this greed
They take this dream
There’s been no end
A mental suffering
From constant desire.
There’s been no out
They want this greed
They take this dream
There’s been no end.
A mental suffering
From constant desire.

Renounce

Renounce the old rule
Renounce the patriarchy
We’ve been conditioned by our society
To ignore and dismiss
The sexists acts of men
An ideology
Of the forefathers.
The behaviors we've established
Have allowed dangers
A catalyst for violence
Descent into oppression
We have the ability
To dismantle the faults,
To act as an ally
For others wellbeing.
The behaviors we’ve established
Have allowed dangers
A catalyst for violence
Descent into oppression
Stop the misogyny
Stop this objectification
Stop this discrimination
Stop the patriarchy

Pathogen
07:41

From a constant divide we grow
In essence to the ways of life
Since the age of the Holocene
A population spike of success
From tribes to societies
A risen weapons led to conquest
The gift of cognition
With fear of the outlanders
Adrift from compromise
To an armed state of conflict
Now war resolves everything
Like a pathogen
we infect this earth
and we are the end bringers
spreading and seizing
So we harness the discord
To fuel collected aggression
In down a fall of nations
Despair looms in the wake
Like a pathogen
We infect this earth
And we are the end bringers
Spreading and seizing
A byproduct of progression
The inevitable war and suffering
For the power gains
For the territories
For the resources
There's no glory
As we give up on negotiating
We'll push disorder onto the children
Deteriorating infrastructures
Deteriorating ecosystems
Lasting poverty
Lasting famine
Reveal the hands of interest
Twisting deformed truths
Manipulating all results
Modern beats, dying world
Like a pathogen
We infect this earth
We are the end bringers
Spreading and seizing
