War. Fuck your compromise with a half life of indulgence Fuck your shaking hands dripping blood and disgrace Peace is the inspiration of my struggle Though war is the only state of mind I know Every image of exploitation Every image of exploitation is my war I want to step onto a higher level of consciousness and declare open war against those who still rape Mother Nature Use your third eye and do believe those towers of filth can be destroyed one more time. Read and educate yourself, embrace arms as talk has failed us to bring their liberation. This is what we used to scream out loud Now you believe in violence Well I do too, yours is against Nature Mine is against you Direct action is the only weapon we have to accomplish our goals. I still swear allegiance to self, human, earth and animal liberation That's why I want to destroy That's why I want to destroy Babylon Destroy Babylon, now.

Silent Eyes 03:43
If you are too deaf to hear this heart felt message Then you should fade away just like dinosaurs did You should all suffocate as your life gives abortion the only option for me to tolerate I am blinded by rage against the rage your kind has for so long pressed within. Animal suffering must end Animal suffering must end Silent eyes still search for vengeance The game is over Billions of lives are taken No revolution without a bloodshed There's no time allowed for those who overshadow animals freedom. Plates run blood Labs run blood Streets run blood Forget compassion Plates run blood Labs run blood Streets run blood Forget compassion in times of war... Veganism is our path to freedom Veganism equals justice for all life Shall I walk the hard-line deeper than ever Shall I raise my guns and laugh watching you fall I'll slaughter ur kids, electrocute 'em, cut their throat Then wait for you to swallow their corrupted flesh Vegan The only path to higher justice Vegan It's a war that we must fight Vegan The only path to higher justice Vegan It's a war that we must fight

I am living by the knife Straight edge We are living by the knife Straight edge Fuck all those who cheapen what I truly am in others eyes (taken by No Allegiance - Earth Crisis) Fuck those who bent the straight edge with their fuckin' lies My heart is free My life is on the war path My pain my struggle my hostility will see no end till we are all set free. I am for justice, no matter who it is for One stone one gun one struggle, assassination for all drug-lords Your world is under threat, Your profit will be slaughtered by the hatred of your own slaves From Colombia to teenage night fever, I wage war on your glorified blindfolded whore May I see your blood crimes end Liberation for all those who still fall prey Death to all these zombies around me Militant against the unashamed Burn-burn-burn I am living by the knife Straight edge We are living by the knife Straight edge

I have too much repulsion in my thoughts Diamonds are not forever Modern slaves born out of centuries of infamy West Africa still faces slavery Natives in every corner of the globe faced genocide White men always brought intellectual homicide Culture fed with generations of orphanage houses Assimilation culture through selection of skin color Stolen children, stolen history, stolen culture Children sold and tattooed for ownership Genocide Prostitution ships of desperation Genocide Diamonds in Ivory coast, Oil in Nigeria north barrier Genocide I wish death for all of you demon motherfuckers Genocide Burn them down as I spit on their grave Bullets are the only language these devils speak There's no more fucking tolerance for those who worship holocaust No one will miss them if we take their life Arm yourself, kill every angel of death You are the only warrior you must fall back on Turn this nightmare into a dream Turn this nightmare into a dream Turn this nightmare into a dream Turn this nightmare into a dream

Traitors Your blood will flow before my eyes Traitors Its still me, against the rain, wind and fire, 32years old still speaking the truth Fear your own shadow you evil motherfuckers... I follow my own truth, the sacred course of my existence Raised in the name of the nameless I am here to fight and dance among them You deserve disrespect, humiliation and death You spit on the flag you once held high. I'll carve a deep black X on your back to punish your lies You spit on the flag you once held high. I'll carve a deep black X on your back to end your lies Rancor drives me through dark times of desperation I'll keep self control and like a warrior I'll attack this foreign land of mindless zombies You choose betrayal I ll live and die by a militant life My X will never fade Militant My X will never fade Militant life

Declaration of War, Injustice fuels the hate. You evil makes you weak, your evil is my strength Declaration of War, Injustice fuels the hate. You evil makes you weak, your evil is my strength (Taken by Green Rage 7 inch)

From Nicaragua to Palestina, from Nigeria to China. Whose opinion are we buying into? Modern democracies build well concealed concentration camps Burn the shame of their empire. Cheap labor sending troops to war One hand makes a whole nation choke on debt made through plantations of coke and opius I am the messenger to speak truth against their greedy eyes Censorship builds your notions True knowledge is still neglected I am the prophet trying to spark fire throughout my journey They are a cancer to this planet Military chronicles, death upon death of black and latino brothers and sisters We need a revolution now more than ever Revolutionize your habits Revolutionize your life Give hopes to the ones after you and honour the ones who died before you. Emancipation liberation we are the vanguard of this war Emancipation liberation we are the vanguard of this war Emancipation liberation we are the vanguard of this war

Freedom Fuck mainstream propaganda, rebuild your knowledge Culture feeds every single breath of my disgust My life's a battle on a day by day warfare You can't burn the roots of Gods sacred tree of wisdom Conspiracies of white elite have built nations based on infamy and misconceptions Don't be passive like the church during the holocaust. Question your certainties. Question your truth, Every time, every day. Elevate your spirit high, breath and look within You are a warrior, a spiritual samurai Don't give anyone the power to take away your freedom You are the master, no longer slave Chains of ignorance and poverty keep your ankles trapped To them, you must be their worst enemy They must feel the threat of overcome Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom Freedom Freedom lies within Freedom Our truth has been revealed Freedom Freedom lies within They must fear you

We are not here to make friends. We are here to make justice. We are not here to look Good or sound good, we are here to voice our opinion, to give freedom to the enslaved and Declare war, again and again and again against the unashamed. We grew up in a scene of Middle class white kids who never knew and will never know nothing about violence, kids Who still live in a well concealed world made only of hard music, tough looks and tough Images. Fuck you. Fuck your web hatred, your myspace fights and ur shallow values. This Is the forth generation of kids that I see turning their back on me and just fall into confort And social acceptance.We give no trust for free anymore. People once swore eternal jihad And all out war to oppression and injustice but here they come, in their weakest, mild, Submissive and yet arrogant lifestyle to just represent everything I hate. Where the fuck Are all these mindless zombie motherfuckers now? I hold these people in contempt. People with no self respect should suffocate. People who turn their back on the struggle For human and animal liberation should suffocate. All the sellouts who once held high flags Should suffocate. People who just can't see how negative their influence is on the youth And our environment should all suffocate. We have the power of starting a very wild Domino effect. We have to be the living examples that compassion and justice can still Have a strong voice against Mother Culture. I don't care if you see violence. I don't care if You see radical visions. Every other try has failed. As warriors before us stated: get free or Die trying.

Vegan straight edge saved my life. I survived addiction I rejected all their poison lies Fuck the parassites who keep on fading across my path My hope and strength unbroken as I still witness Sheep will always be sheep... Behind my never ending struggle, Beyond my never ending struggle, Lies nothing but deep love... For the animals, for all slaves, for the blinded, for the brainwashed For all deaf screams, for all deaf tears, for all racist crimes, for all sexist lies This struggle means everything to me I am Geronimo, Fighting for my freedom. I am Malcolm, Fighting for my freedom. I am Peltier Fighting for my freedom I am Barry Horne, Fighting for their freedom. Resistance is my answer I am tired of revolutions bought on sale Vegan straight edge saved my life
