I am trapped in this jungle of concrete Surrounded by the most dangerous animals alive I have to fight to survive I have to fight to survive (x2) From police brutality to organized criminality I reject the evils of this corrupted society I have to fight to survive this reality I despise Disgusted from what I witness every day By living in a world ruled by violence and hate I have to fight to survive this reality I despise (x2) I must overcome this suffocating hate Turning my eyes red and grinding my teeth I need to find balance in hostility All around evil dominates uncontested over this decay I need to find a way to escape this insanity Put with my back against the wall, I?m left with no other way than to fight back Might makes right is the law of this world Where life has no value and money rules Everything is downtrodden in the name of profit Learn the ways of the enemy, learn how to fight back effectively Time to raise up the head from the ground, Time to fight to survive

We are at the present time living in an age of mass extinction. Each year, more than 20,000 unique species disappear from this planet forever. This represents more that two species per hour. Mass extinction is the outcome of the ever increasing progress of the machinery of civilization. Alienated from the natural world Guided by anthropocentric attitudes The average human being is unaware and uncaring About the biological holocaust Rise up and fight back How long will the Earth survive? Rise up and fight back Or it will be too late Mankind - the plague killing the Earth Unseeing eyes, uncaring hearts Human impact on the Earth must diminish For the violent assault on nature to cease You have been taught that you have freewill, that you have the right to do whatever you feel like. So do you really think you are free? But your freedom is a lie, at the expense of others who die Countless, with every second passing by, countless, they suffer, they die We must find again our roots to link ourselves back to the Earth It's a way in which to search for the truth Rise up and fight back How long will the Earth survive? Rise up and fight back Or it will be too late The facts are clear. More plant and animal species will go through extinction within our generation than have been lost for natural causes over the past two hundred million years. And that will be the price of progress,ecological collapse, the death of Nature. Day after day this world draws closer to the end (x5)

Reinforced 02:26
Into this world I was born to suffer and weep My entire existance spent in continuous suffering Compelled to stagnate from birth to the grave I won't end up with my days trapped in this decay To know that life is pain is strength in the end In order to survive you must fortify your body and mind Cheated and fooled again, enemies on every side Alone against the world, I will never let them win Fed by bloodstained hands Someday I'll break free of the chains holding me to the ground I have faced misfortune eye to eye Then washed the tears from my face With persistence, I overcame the test of time Through the dance of days I have remained Reinforced! (x4) Memories stay never to die Time past won't disappear As the fire in my heart, burns eternally I have not been mislead from the attainingment of my goals I will always try to break these chains My heart will never change Ageing took a toll on the ones that I used to call my friends Made them, weak and soft But not to me, Reinforced!

Warpaint 03:13
I Wear my colours in the battlefield I Wear my colours and I am ready to kill (x2) Resistance - We won't step back (x2) March forward into an hell made of flesh and steel Encircled by enemies, through their corpses I'll force my way out Resistance - We won't step back (x2) Bloodlust drags me deep into the pits of hell Amidst the tortured souls fighting unto death Covered with torn flesh and blood, I continue to advance Frontline in the attack, face to face with the enemy Hell no longer awaits as I run straight into its flames Onward to - the battlefield Death - or victory (x4) Death before dishonor, the true path of the warrior The prize of the battle: the head of the enemy Pierced high on top of our pikes (x2)

Afraid of this world Afraid of what surrounds me Where living beings are used as things And greed and avarice prevail Over all justice and decency Girls selling their bodies in the streets Forests burning, wildlife disappearing And children dying without even being born An entire planet feeding on carcasses Overpopulated and polluted, addicted to drugs and alcohol Blood and sweat pouring from the hands of a society on the verge of self annihilation Hostage of weakness and debauchery As I venture into the realms of corruption and vice A sea of famished filthy hands reach to infect me Innocence is dying in this sick and lonely world Careless of all identity, desperate and cold Fall from grace They cower and plead For mercy and leniency For salvation and release But the chance to redeem is a far off memory There is no salvation, to be seen

Holy war 04:02
Holy war, fight the holy war Overthrow the empire built on blood Countless lives perish day by day While you stand still in front of this sickness My life's mission to bring them liberation Holy war, fight the holy war Overthrow the empire built on blood Countless lives perish day by day While you stand still in front of this sickness My life's mission to bring them liberation Members of a species that has collectively waged relentless war against defenceless creatures and all of the natual world The human destruction of its own kind and of the myriad forms of life With whom we cohabit the Earth must be halted Fight fire with fire, that's what we must do To put an end to the slaughter of the innocent Their blood flows red just like yours or mine Their suffering is just as real as yours or mine Yours or mine (x2) As a thousand tears have been shed Brothers and sisters continue to cry and bleed Staring into the depths of hell now I know, what my place in this world is For justice will only be attained if I throw myself in the frontline Conscience is the light guiding me out of this swamp, now I know what has to be done Talk is ineffective and tears won't end the slaughter Only action counts Holy war, fight the holy war Overthrow the empire built on blood

My hands tied in the back He comes to me with a punch and a sack He covers my head with a hood The noise is loud and pierces my brain My poor mother is worried sick, I'm sure She buried my brother before me, she will endure My pathetic shirt hangs proud Like a blood-stained flag unfurled I'm in here for days on end or is it months, I no longer comprehend My poor mother is worried sick, I'm sure She buried my brother before me, she will endure I am broken now but I will not confess Soon I will leave my body Let those cowards clean up the mess He beats me again today Then its another's turn to play The noise is too loud And I can feel the shroud Warm blood dripping slowly onto the floor Pouring from this dying body My left eye is gone, and my legs, I can't sense them anymore Shackles cutting my wrists, how much longer can I resist? Torture, it goes on for days without end I crave for death to liberate me from this torment I am broken now but I will not confess Soon I will leave my body Let those cowards clean up the mess Of my lifeless battered flesh A few more thoughts before I go I have been murdered, this you must know I have been abducted and killed because of my love for freedom, for my land, for my people From my blood that soaks the land, from the copious tears that I have shed From the hidden ditch where my body lies A vengeful wrath will soon rise The day is coming when we will drive the invader out of our land (x2) *Dedicated to all the native nations killed by imperialism of every color, defending their cultures from the eurocentrism and globalization of human rights. Particularly to Ulster, Tibet and to the palestinians daily slaughtered by the american weapons of the israelian occupation army*

As I see my comrades falling on the battlefield their martyrdom reinforces my faith in the struggle which got them killed and like them, I will place my soul deep in the valley of death standing proud against the enemy until the very end Fight to the last breath Only in the struggle do we find a true meaning to life There's no reason to live without a reason to die Despite many traitors and turncoats, I won't give up I will continue until they drain my last drop of blood This mission is a destiny sealed from above Through barricades and minefields, I will march on Fight to the last breath Only in the struggle do we find a true meaning to life There's no reason to live without a reason to die Lament for a fallen soldier In the desperation of the circumstances I have not winced nor cried aloud My head is bloody, but unbowed I have not winced nor cried aloud My head is bloody, but unbowed Vomited out from hell to take my life, the hordes of demons will find me unafraid And even if I will fall today what I believe won't die with me And even if I will fall today what I believe won't die with me (x2) Justice delayed is justice denied Oppose the evil that man created For in death there is rebirth This is war and we continue where you left off Here we are, sitting beside your deathbed, overshadowed by pain The copious tears we shed with sorrowed painful eyes Will help us not to forget and to continue the fight In our bleeding hearts we will always keep the memory of your sacrifice *In memory of Barry Horne*
