If the needs of the whole are greater than the needs of the one then name me, I’ll follow along until this has all been undone If the needs of the whole are greater than the needs of the one then fucking blame me, I’ll follow along until it has all been undone If we're betting on love.. look, where are we now? cause it won't take your resolve... If we're betting on love.. look, where are we now? cause it won't take your resolve… We’re making the false apply when your freezing cold at night will you tell me... “love is the guiding light” When the needs of the whole have become the needs of the one traveling on common ground to a hand in machine With our souls embracing them with our minds engaging them with purpose, and logic and a hand in the machine It's the weight within And the way in which we hold it That brings us in and beats us till we know it

The victims are just price A price tag, an expense in the monthly report. Now leave 5. a) Cut the cost, they don't matter I hope they starve cause They’ve been eating my margins all along She grabs my arm and says “we’ve been through this a billion times you stupid child” now read these lines follow them blindly and admit your crime; you're born into life and it’s so wrong now that we know. Now get back in line or resist and discover the good in time, for all our lives now would he have to, now he’ll have to find a new place for his tortured mind now would he have to, would he have to die? cause he’ll just be replaced eventually, in time. She grabs my arm and says “we’ve been through this a billion times you stupid child” now read these lines follow them blindly and admit your crime; you're born into life and it’s so wrong now that we know. Now get back in line or resist and discover the good in time, for all our lives Grins are coloured by those in the tower With the paint of the coward; a cold-green-power. It’s covering nations, 3 layers over Not lives have fluttered, but the state our dollar Can you ignore what the prophet says about soul?

Reflections 04:15
I think this form is a blessing for a breathing storm that's moving fast and strong across the valley and it will collapse our eyes What’s this for this breathing form that consumes more than we could ever give to the ground that guides our lives I don't think we will change for free Now i’m sure i’ll sing an elegy cause this planet’s lost now we can make it somehow it’s a breathing storm, that ignites and excites me, a buying storm, that controls what creates me Our consumption Our greed We will be the storm to end all storms that pays what we owe it with fucking greed I don't think we will change for free Now i’m sure i’ll sing an elegy cause this planet’s lost now we can make it somehow And do you know where you will find me? I’ll be in that storm Some consuming, fucking pig.

One Breath 05:45
Some fail to see the coming storm, But dammit, we’ve seen this before The green snake that preys upon the weak In those that find everything they seek We refuse to beat around the bush in fear. We’ve been trying to beat death for so long Is that point static, or mute to the whole world? As we have only one soul, one life, one breath. to try and beat death? for all your life? Is that point static, or mute to the whole world? Reinvent the need to form an oath cause it takes her arm beats it to a pulp And were all betting upon our own god That her hand alone will bring the change we need We’ve tried to beat death for all our lives I'm caressed by its soft touch You know, I’ve seen you believe I’ve seen you believe in prayer I’ve seen you believe in hope and I’ve seen you believe in pain And asked you, just to believe in each other But you won't, cause you just don’t care Cause you're fucking right anyway We, the beast, and the flesh that now feeds it. Cannibals at our best. At our best We refuse to beat around the bush in fear. We’ve been trying to beat death for so long Is that point static, or mute to the whole world? As we have only one soul, one life, one breath. to try and beat death? for all your life? Is that point static, or mute to the whole world?
