When all falls before our very eyes
When we can't assume the decency of basic rights
When society cuts the final safety net
When the fascist fist comes to crush the rest
All we are is all we have
All there is at the end of the day
Is the bond of fellowship, hand in hand
We must prepare ourselves to understand
We can't depend upon the powers that be
We must take strength in our communities
There's no hope in this society
We must protect each other to be free
All we are is all we have
All there is at the end of the day
Is the bond of fellowship, hand in hand
We must prepare ourselves to understand
The power systems continue to erode
We must build up power of our own
Collective networks of opposition
Siblings in hand to end the contradiction
All we are is all we have
All there is at the end of the day
Is the bond of fellowship, hand in hand
We must prepare ourselves to understand

Not Like This

None of you are gods, you're just men
And you bleed just like the rest
Your golden halls can burn the same
And we'll put you to the test
We aren't goin' out like this
We're goin' out with a knuckled fist
We aren't goin' out like this
Raise your hands 'cuz we won't miss
We won't miss
Raise your hands
You think with the stroke of pen?
People are erased so easily?
We've always been here, always will
Fuck your country 'tis of thee
We aren't goin' out like this
We're goin' out with a knuckled fist
We aren't goin' out like this
Raise your hands 'cuz we won't miss
We won't miss
Raise your hands
Death comes for us all
You can't live forever
Your money cannot save you
This is a godless endeavor
We aren't goin' out like this
We're goin' out with a knuckled fist
We aren't goin' out like this
Raise your hands 'cuz we won't miss
Cuz we won't miss
Cuz we won't miss
We aren't going out like this!

When They Come For You

It's too late now
The wolves are at the door
You can't escape it
The fascists always thirst for more
When they came for us
You said it wasn't the time
You told us not to protest
You told us to get in line
When they come for you
I won't shed a tear
I won't lament your suffering
I won't even be here
When your privilege shatters
Remember all we said
Because of your compliance
We're already dead
You aren't a victim
You are complicit
You upheld the status quo
You ignored the cries below
We just wanted to exist
You sacrificed us all
For your petty comforts
No one will mourn your fall
We tried to warn you
You brought this death upon you
When they came for us
You said it wasn't the time
You told us not to protest
You told us to go fuck ourselves
Your privilege shattered
Remember what we said
Because of your compliance
We're all fucking dead
We're all fucking dead

The Way The World Ends

We are the last of our kind
The remnants trying to survive
Despite all odds
Humanity is still alive
But at what cost?
The mirror's reflection not so clear
Damned to be lost
Are we the sum of all our fears?
How will this end?
Not with a bang but with a whimper
It's not the way
That the human race will fade
Despite the rise
Of tyranny before our eyes
There is no God
Who dictates our decree or liberty
We all must fight to become free
With unheard screams
Storms arise and boil seas
A global shift to Right
While forests burn and deserts freeze
How will this end?
Sun must shine out the clearer
It's not the way
That the human race will fade
Despite the rise
Of tyranny before our eyes
There is no God
Who dictates our decree or liberty
We all must fight to become free
We must be the ones to claim this Earth
We must show the way towards Rebirth
We are the last of our kind
The remnants trying to survive
Despite all odds
Humanity is still alive
But at what cost?
The mirror's reflection not so clear
Damned to be lost
Are we the sum of all our fears?
How blows the wind?
It's not the way
That the human race will fade
Despite the rise
Of tyranny before our eyes
There is no God
Who dictates our decree or liberty
We all must fight to become free

A Unified War Cry

A dying world
That's lost in fire
Are these our final moments?
Is this the ending of our time?
There's so much more that we could be
Unification and achieving dreams
I want to show you all these things
Freedom awaits, just wait and see
We must take up the fight of all our lives
Oppression everywhere and borders redefined
Liberator of none -- oppressor of all
Trust no government -- deny their call
Army of all
Retaliate
We shall be one
Fist in your face
We're born from beyond all space and time
And sacred is each life
Our fight to save all of mankind
With our unified war cry
We must take up the fight of all our lives
Oppression everywhere and borders redefined
Liberator of none -- oppressor of all
Trust no government -- deny their call
Cult Capital
A broken way
All will defy
We'll seal your fate
We're born from beyond all space and time
And sacred is each life
Our fight to save all of mankind
With our unified war cry
We are all just stories in the end
A brilliant web of light in cosmic sand
We walk the path unknown of where and when
Spirit of freedom that dies and lives again
There's so much more to our destiny
Mythic stories tell of heroic deeds
Defeating tyrants and fighting for peace
Freedom awaits, just wait and see
Your hearts of stone
Tell only lies
You can fix
Your hearts or die
We're born from beyond all space and time
And sacred is each life
Our fight to save all of mankind
With our unified war cry
