I chose to stand
Against tyranny
For freedom’s breath
I will bleed.
Our cause is right
Of that we’re sure.
There will, be no
giving in!
Chaos ensues
Throughout it all.
Who can we trust?
No one at all.
We know they try
To infiltrate
Make us out
And know
who we are.
Taken down
One at a time.
They drag me in
I’m confined.
Interrogate
Beaten so
They demand
That I
Betray you all.
Sentenced to
100 years
For standing up
Not giving in
I will die
A horrid low
For standing up
To try and save us all

Mob Rule
04:49
|

|
Anger grows and spreads
Demands are thrown around.
Problems reached a level
Mass protest all around
Clashes in the streets
Order dead and gone.
The Police fear the crowds.
Anger rules them all.
Needs for most unmet
Greed of some at fault.
They will pay the price.
The crowds will get them all
Clashes in the streets
Order dead and gone.
The soldiers fear the crowds.
Anger rules them all.
Fix this now
Before it's too late
Change can happen.
Let’s not wait!
Solutions in short supply
After decades of neglect.
Should have paid attention
Before Chaos came to rest.
Clashes in the streets
Order dead and gone.
The rich fear the crowds.
Anger rules them all.
Rich and Powerful fall
Their bodies ripped to shreds.
The nation now in chaos
Democracy is dead
Clashes in the streets
Order dead and gone.
Everyone fears the crowds.
Anger rules them all

Sanity Is Gone
04:28

All sense gone
No logic here
Spew crazy shit
Into the sphere
What shit won’t
You believe
Where do you draw the line for fantasy
Sanity is gone
Truth will never be the same
Shit you just made up
Is not what others should believe
Evidence is none
Why do they believe your fantasies?
Sanity is gone
Can we get it back
Or is our world doomed
With no hope left
Sanity is gone
Truth will never be the same.
Shit you just made up
Is not what others should believe
Evidence is none.
Why do they believe your fantasies?
Our world in danger
Our country flails.
Your made up shit should not prevail!
How can we
Solve real shit
While you combat your own make believe?
Sanity is gone
Truth will never be the same.
Shit you just made up
Is not what others should believe
Evidence is none.
Why do they believe your fantasies?
Lizard People are not real.
Our earth is round, not flat.
Our country is not being led by a pedophile ring.
Vaccines are safe and effective.
Cell towers are not making you sick.
You believed in a fraud for four very long years

My Forever Rule
04:00

|
The masses are in danger
Why do they oppose
I want to stay in power
Why won't they conform
They should be loyal
To my forever rule.
Why should they oppose
My reign shall never end!
I must crack down
On any and all dissent
They must not oppose me
Or I will crush their soul
They should be loyal
To my forever rule
Why should they oppose
My reign shall never end
My crackdowns are not working
The horde seems to grow
My troops are turning on me
My reign soon will fall.
Why weren’t they loyal
To my forever rule
Why did they oppose
My death is the end.

Failure Of State

World is gone
Civilization is no more
Empty streets
Decaying rubble all that's left.
Failure of state.
We few struggle to survive
On what is left of us
Now!
Plague and riots reign supreme
Pandemic, sickness hit extremes
World leaders fail to act
We suffer and watch as we
fall and die
World is gone
Civilization is no more
Empty streets
Decaying rubble all that's left
Failure of state
We few struggle to survive
On what is left of us
Now
Problems spread from place to place
We watch some suffer, await our fate.
Fighting spreads we protect our own
Together we stand.
Divided we did fall
World is gone
Civilization is no more
Empty streets
Decaying rubble all that's left.
Failure of state.
We few struggle to survive
On what is left of us
Now
Who is to blame, are we all at fault
Civilization is gone. We played our part
Watching us fail, watching us fall
We should have listened
And acted to save
Us all

My Assassination

Feeling the eyes
Trained on my back
Plotting attack.
Feel the dart
Penetrate my flesh
Poison flows
Pain is immense
Knew where to go
My silence is what they want
My death is the goal
Feel the dart
Penetrate my flesh
Poison Flows
Pain is immense
Doctors do try
Hopeless is the task
My death close at hand
Feel the dart
Penetrate my flesh
Poison flows
Pain is immense.
Martyr I am
Others will take my place
The cause will go on.

The Republic
03:59
|

|
Our Republic, Has survived, for over 200 Years
Success based on checks and balances, power restrained
Rule of law, applies to all, this we do believe
What has changed, does this still apply, are we losing ground.
Checks ignored, laws flaunted, money gets you off.
The powerful, know it's broken, work to take advantage.
Too big to fail, no defense, we're sheep to the slaughter
Greed
Excess
Corruption
Pack the courts with political hacks, jurors prudence not involved.
Appoint heads of agencies that don’t care at all.
Ignore science, established rules, laws do not apply.
All that matters in personal gain, enrichment of what is mine
Impeachments out, no scandals matter, no issues cross the line.
Treason is, no reason to alter, the balance that divides.
Where’s the line, no one is sure, where is too far.
This will be, the end of all , our fall is enshrined
Greed
Excess
Corruption

Unite!

I must press on, fight against the odds
Speak for what is right
Take a stand and press the fight
Standing up for all
Unite and press the fight
We all have a voice
We’ll take back our rights.
They can’t keep us down
If we keep our focus tight.
We’ll take back our rights
They apply to all
Unite!
They try to keep us down
So that they feel safe
But rights for some, cannot be the way
Standing up for all
Unite and press the fight
We all have a voice
We’ll take back our rights.
They can’t keep us down
If we keep our focus tight.
We’ll take back our rights
They apply to all
Unite!
They move to halt all moves we make
All compromise they will not take
All change is blocked, then wars the only way
Standing up for all
Unite and press the fight
We all have a voice
We’ll take back our rights.
They can’t keep us down
If we keep our focus tight.
We’ll take back our rights
They apply to all
Unite!

Chaos Unleashed

Chaos unleashed
Nothing makes sense
Chaos unleashed
All is lost.
World falls into chaos
War is all around
Any course but vengeance
Is gone for all right now
Death a new reality
Bodies all around
Scenes of utter chaos
Most live underground
Leaders are all absent
They got us in this mess
Bombs fall all around us
The world is quite a mess
Generals are now leading
The only ones in charge
Winning is the strategy
Even if it kills us all
Chaos unleashed
Nothing makes sense
Chaos unleashed
All is lost
Battle fields empty
Of all but rotting dead
Few are left to fight now
We fight among the dead
What is left to fight for
Not sure I really know
It’s all I really know now
Everyone’s my foe
Lay among the dying
Giving up on life
Take me to the darkness
I’m done with taking life
Chaos unleashed
Nothing makes sense
Chaos unleashed
All is lost
Chaos unleashed
World is dead
Chaos unleashed
No one wins

Mad King
05:35
|
|||
|
Saw the chaos coming
Question was, how bad
Polarizing everyone
We knew it would be sad
Incompetence there to see
Failure was at hand
Danger ahead
Warnings clear to see
How can this be
Mad king was chosen to lead
Preaching to divide
Preaching hate the other side
Killing those who stand
For unity that’s right
Himself his only care
No regard for what is right.
Danger in sight
War and fright
He must be stopped
Country will be in flames
Allies are in fear
Enemies are closing near
His head in the sand
Ignores pleas for sanity
Lashes out at all
Who work to fix our coming woes
We live in fright
Of what he’ll do next night
There’s no predicting him
Everyone should fear
Danger is here
Predictions all ignored
How can this be
Mad king was chosen to lead.
Common sense ignored
Heeds no sane advice
Seems he wants to die
And bring us by his side
No way he is right
Mad King must die tonight
Country is in ruins
Brought by his lies
How can we fight
And leave some hope behind
His death the only path
Mad King must die at last
No friends to protect
Loyalty gone at last
Throne room bloody mess
There's hope for all at last

On My Way To Death
04:55

March to war with mates in step
Enemies await certain death
I bring death wherever I walk
I bring death whenever you cross my path
I have wronged more than most have met
See me come and regret your life, and soon your death
On my way
Battle awaits
Weapons ready
Charged in hate.
Air called in
Bombs are dropped
Explosions rip
Dead abound
Meet your maker
See your doom
Pray they find what’s left of you.
Meet your maker
See your doom
Pray they find what’s left of you.
Resistance met it's not going well
Keep on fighting, no choice in hell
Dead pile up, friends ripped up
Promised victory was robbed of us.
Lie in ruins
Wait for death
March to war
Buried where I died
March to war
Buried where I died.

Been a fan since the 2019-MMep inception. This band simply does it right. Full throttle Thrash in the vein of Sacred Reich , Whiplash/AtWar speeds. HC infused at times. NEPA thrash is on the map to stay.
