Death Or Success

Oh it's coming down / The weight of your life, forcing you to the ground
You feel the heaviness / of unyielding steel, so there's only one way to go...
Death or success / stop leading a cowards life
Crush or be crushed / stamp out your weakness or die
You know this feeling all too well / it is what tell's the man from wimps
The declared intention of becoming strong, your testament will be written in steel
An iron will that defys the gods, oh if you survive your gains will be unreal

An attainment that remains / march to the temple of gains
For aeons they roamed / on a journey for strength
On this unrelenting road / a march to the temple of gains
An attainment that remains / march to the temple of gains
But the journey is not the end / for it is only our warm-up / before the real pain begins
There is no destination but to get bigger than any man has ever been before
This is a declaration of the triumph of gains / we need to fuel our bodies and minds / cast-iron will
But the struggle never ends / a creeping fear of protein deficiency
There is no destination but to get bigger than any man has ever been before
We need to fuel our bodies minds (adamant) / with arms like tempered steel (iron will)
To surpass all limits (ourselves) / and the pump we feel (is unreal)
Better than coming all the time (keep it real)
Shut up and add another plate man (only the pain is real)
Arriving at the massive gates / your eager eyes wandering around the halls
Bygone the hardships you have faced / on the march to the temple of gains

To forever holding on - a promise I will never break
Relentlessly standing strong - for an oath that keeps me free
I will not sacrifice this bond - a commitment to the X
Forever written in my skin - no one will ever break this edge
Standing side by side with my brothers in mind - you will never understand this pact
Forged by a higher allegiance, a consecrated alliance to the cross - thousand times thicker than blood
We will not sacrifice this bond - a commitment to the X
Forever written in our skins - no one will ever break this edge
And we have seen people come and go - but only the true remain
This is not a place for your fucking vacation - you won’t leave a stain
We will not sacrifice this bond - a commitment to the X
Forever written in our skins - no one will ever break this edge

My love for you will never fade / just like the X on the back of my hand, forever holding on
You cannot tone it down / it won't be washed away / you'll never understand / what I hold dear
And the 24th letter still bears all I am
This is my ode to you, a song of praise, you saved my life
A promise I will never break, I'll take it with me to my grave
It just grows stronger with each day that is passing by
Those two words carved into my mind: straight fucking edge
This is my ode to you, a song of praise, you saved my life
A promise I will never break, I'll take it with me to my grave

Crush All Fakes

We will not stand aside and wait for you to tear apart what’s real
We built this up with with our own hands - a fight for all that’s sincere
I won’t be your steppingstone - I’ll show you what’s real
We are the watchers of the edge / We are here to crush all fakes
We’ll show you the meaning of dedication, our zeal will be your ordeal
A covenant of loyalty - real recognize real
I won’t be your steppingstone - I’ll show you what’s real
We are the watchers of the edge / And we are here to crush all fakes

Just Ugh It

I've seen the devil in the eye / and it wasn't dire, it appeared in the disguise
Of something I might try / the appealing face I'd seen, oh it was a lie...
My friends all seemed to have fun and be doing fine, so who am I to hastily judge, it's just one time
I'd heard the stories and seen the pics, but if I only had believed
Oh man, I needed to feel for myself, least let this be a lesson to you
For it truly is the death of all gains - cardio is the devil my friend, just don't do it! Not even once!
But I was also blessed enough / to witness the heavens light shining down
On something I had to try / a weight so heavy that it could just as easily be my demise
Go heavy, or go home! Just UGH it, just UGH it!

Man In The Mirror
03:09

I'm gonna make a change / For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good / Gonna make a difference / Gonna make it right
As I, turn up the collar on my straight edge varsity jacket / This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets with not enough to eat / Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard, a broken bottle top / And a one man soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know / 'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror / I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer / If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change / Na-na-na, na-na-na
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love / It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart / And a washed-out dream
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see / 'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror / I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer / If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change / Na-na-na, na-na-na

Diggin' Your Own Grave
04:08

The shit that you think you need, is draining out your life
And while you’re out and are neglecting your bouts you don’t even see
Through those dull and hazy eyes, life’s just passing by
You’re fading away and everything you once were - the mere husk of a human being
Decomposing alive, adrift and left to die / A long abandoned reality is gorging on your mind
You’re diggin’ your own grave / and no one’s there to stand by
You may think you lived free / but now it’s time to die
Just drinking to pass the time no concern for kids and wife
Oh it sure seems like a good tradition to me and who are you to cut the ties?
Legally prescribed, how else could you cope with life
Seeking refuge in high, not just numbing your mind - do you really believe your lies?
You’re diggin’ your own grave / and no one’s there to stand by
You may think you lived free / but now it’s time to die
You’re splitting the pills and deluding yourself - oh you’re not fooling anyone!
I hear your scraping up the lines - sure it’s just that one time…
