lyrics

I'll stand up for what I believe even if it kills me
People have grown weak and give into anything they're told
My spine is strong; I won't back down; I'll never fucking bow to you
Take a whip to my back and scar me with unjust punishment
You're weak and close-minded to reality
Why are so afraid of change? You're running things into the ground
Or are you just afraid of being overthrown?
Screams and torture are the only sounds heard from my desolate cell
Locked away from the world in my own personal hell
I don't regret it, and I won't take it back
A corrupt system too afraid to be exposed; I feel the need to tell the world
But you silence my mouth and beat me until I'm on the brink of death
And you tell me, over and over, to just shut up; to shut my fucking mouth
I'll never back down; I'll never fucking bow to you
No more; I am a martyr
Being punished for what I believe; being punished for who I am
I am a martyr
Screams and torture are the only sounds heard from my desolate cell
Locked away from the world in my own personal hell
I'll never see the light of day again

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228

The nostalgia is palpable. I can remember using an off brand mp3 player to listen to this in my freshmen year of high school. I SHOULD HAVE SLAYED YOU LIKE A DRAGON LAST WEEK. CLEANSING
