My fellow man, hear these words I speak only truth 
A nation degrading; it's people fighting Polluting the ground at their feet 
The beggars; the addicts take to the streets 
Spreading like fire through the dry grass 
Disease, famine, violent acts 
Like moths to a flame gathered to attack 

Promised it all 
Left with nothing 
All hope is lost 
Hear the screams in the state of the nation 

Searching for a way through the dark 
Blinded we see no light 
The rulers slam their fists to the ground 
Gripping their power so tight 
Corruption, greed, breeding like rats 
Through the leaders you choose to believe 
The rich are still rich; the poor are still dying 
A nation divided; it's people still fighting 

Promised it all 
Left with nothing 
All hope is lost 
Hear the screams in the state of the nation 

This is what we have designed 
People dying 
Women crying 
Circuits frying 
Bullets flying 

State of the nation x 6 

This is the state of the nation
State of the nation (We're fucked) 
State of the nation x 4 

Burn it down; burn it all to the ground 
You get nothing back so you'll take what you want 
Sound the call to come together 
One nation united against its leaders 

Promised it all 
Left with nothing 
No nothing 
All hope is lost 
Hear the screams in the state of the nation

One foot in the grave! 

Take what they want 
Take all they can 
The leaders lie through grinning teeth 
Their masterplan 
Feeding you empty words 
Stories and promises 
Revolution; execution 
Nothing to stop us coming 

The tyrant suppressed 
Awaiting his death 
Pay back for your lack of care 
Wide eyes of fear 
Excess of greed leaves you standing 
With one foot in the grave 

Bribes got you far 
Money won't stop a gun 
Violence the answer to our prayers 
We slept in dirt 
While you slept soundlessly 
Now one eye open in the dark 

The tyrant suppressed 
The rope around your neck 
Pay back for your lack of care 
Wide eyes of fear 
Excess of greed leaves you standing 
With one foot in the grave 
 
Regret is not what I see 
Only fear of death 
Heartless - your breed 
Will not survive 
With one foot in the grave

Lead - Louw 
Climbing profits to find 
The social standing you crave 
Climbing high above the others 
A soulless exchange
 
You sell your soul to the devil 
Only when the price is right 
Giving all is not enough 
When the devil wears a suit and tie
 
Pay the price!
 
When it's up you are a king 
When it's down you are a thief 
Dead eyes will stare 
Make sure the graphs are going up 
This is the new way of life 
Everything has a price 
Always come out on top 
Never mind the social cost
 
Put it all onto black 
It will come out in blood 
Greed will take you down 
And greed will take its cut 

You're drawing dead! 

Because the money conquers all 
Conquers all! 
Because the money conquers all 
Conquers all! 
Money conquers 
Money conquers 
Money conquers all 
Material gain consumes the air we breathe 
Inheritance - inherent lack of care we breed

Poes! 

Because the money conquers all 
Conquers all! 
Because the money conquers all 
Conquers all! 
Money conquers 
Money conquers 
Money conquers all

Rise up against the tyranny 
They come to take your land 
Heartless pig with knife in hand 
Political speeches spreading violence 
Brainwashed; possessed 
Now the end 

White crosses scattered 
They all ignore your cries 
A war hidden from eyes 
The new age genocide 

The humble man attacked 
They come to kill at night 
Hateful eyes locked in their sights 
The blood bathed upon the walls 
The mother; the father 
Lying cold oh 

Dead! Brought to their end! 
Can't you see where this will lead 
Dead! Brought to their end! 
History repeating itself 

Bodies limp fill the open land 
The rivers running red 
Famine starts with starved regret 
Learned not from what the past has told 
The soil consuming all you kill 
White crosses scattered 
They all ignore your cries 
A war hidden from eyes 
The new age genocide 
They're coming!

Go! 
The gavel strikes to the sound of applause 
Chants from the court of his demise 
Rage flows through his congregation 
Demanding that justice must die 

Blurring all the lines of this conviction 
Holding the power; overruling detention 
Judgement exempt! 

When they take to the streets protesting the law 
The liar will not be detained 
Bribing his way through the steel bars 
Hiding away from his fate 

Blurring all the lines of this conviction 
Holding the power; overruling detention 
Judgement exempt! 

Run motherfucker! 

Never to be caught 
When everyone can be bought 
With all the power we hold 
With all the evidence disposed 
The end is never coming
 
But now they see through the lies 
Nowhere to run 
Your days are numbered; your freedom is done 
They're coming for your head; nowhere to hide 
They'll take you down dead or alive 

Blurring all the lines of this conviction 
No chance to survive through your corruption It is done 
Judgement exempt no more

Too young and left to die 
Rotting in the sand 
Skin grey like the smoke-ridden sky 
Her death on your hands 
Neglect - reject responsibility 
Dulled senses prevail 
Accused - nowhere in sight 
Salt eating away at her soul 

It doesn't bother me 
Can't care for what you did not see 

Her body rolls with the turn of the tide 
Left to die 
Her supple flesh consumed by salt 
As you become the 

Unmaternal! X4 

Consumed by selfishness 
You chase the high 
Glazed eyes cannot see the child's helpless cries 
Poison ingested - your only care is the sun 
Ridden with disease you spread death to the young 

Her coffin will be 
The bed of the sea 
Her coffin will be
 
Her body rolls with the turn of the tide 
Left to die 
Her supple flesh consumed by salt 
As you become the unmaternal 

Unmaternal! 
Like an animal culled - expendable loss 
Unmaternal! 
With lungs of water and eyes of horror 
Unmaternal! 
Like helpless prey sent out to the lions 
Unmaternal! 
Your lack of instinct and excess of sin

Unmaternal! X4

Life, death and birthed by blood Infant mortality 
Rise up, breathe a breath of dust 
There's more for you to see 
The eyes unblinded 
For now we observe the dark 
The buckled steel in the cold of the night 

Born in the gutter! 
With little chance on life 
Born in the gutter! 
How do you survive 
Born in the gutter! 
Life lies in the roll of the dice 
Born in the gutter! 
We are born in the gutter 

Knives - twisting, turning inside 
Poison salivates 
Eyes rolling deep in the skull 
Exposing bloodshot veins 
The eyes unblinded 
For now we observe the dark 
The bloated view of an empty fight 

Born in the gutter! 
With little chance on life 
Born in the gutter! 
How do you survive 
Born in the gutter! 
Life lies in the roll of the dice 
Born in the gutter! 
We are born in the gutter 

Born in the gutter! 
With little chance on life 
Born in the gutter! 
How do you survive 
Born in the gutter! 
Life lies in the roll of the dice
Born in the gutter! 
We are born in the gutter

Welcome to hell on earth 
It'll treat you well 
Fear not the hatred of living 
We've got the answers 
Fill your lungs with me 
Feel the ecstasy 
Teeth grinding, heart racing, pupils dilating 

Riding high on black wings of death 
Feel the air before you fall 
Can you hear the scratching inside your head 
It's coming to take it all 

Hungry for the power 
I give Itching for more 
Blind eyes to what I've done 
Life left an empty shell
 
The leper in the streets 
Disease ridden rat 
You gave your life to me 
I gave nothing back
 
Riding high on black wings of death 
Feel the air before you fall 
Can you hear the scratching inside your head 
It's coming to take it all 

Riding high on black wings of death 
Feel the air before you fall 
Can you hear the scratching inside your head It's coming to take it all

Fight! 
The war is now 
Politics - your bullshit 
Fade into grey 
Shout! 
Against the leaders 
Greedy bastards feeding you lies 
We will come for those who take! 
Hoardes of anarchy to storm down their gates 
Enemies of the state! 
Power crumbles with our growing lack of faith 

Chaos reigns through the oppressed 
Conquering forces to bring the tyrants to their deaths 
War is now - prepare for attack 
Charging the palace we shout 

Arm the masses! 

Giving arms to the masses 
Fire and blood 
We'll burn your kingdom down 
As people march through the streets 
Driven by hate 
We'll burn it to the ground 

Giving arms to the masses 
Fire and blood 
We'll burn your kingdom down 
As people march through the streets 
Driven by hate 
We'll burn it to the ground 

Arm! The! Masses! 
Your reign is done 
Arm! The! Masses! 
Nowhere for you to run 
Arm! The! Masses! 
The tyrants overthrown 
Arm! The! Masses! 
Our future built on your bones
