Blood & Oil

Disassemble my mind
Pull me apart
From the inside
Plugged into my life
Drip fed just to survive
We're losing all control
Day, day after day
Stuck in this prison
The world goes on
Without us
Watch my life pass me by
All the money in the world
Can't buy back the time
Time that I've wasted
The time that I've sold
Time that I've sold
Slaves to the steel
The smoke and the fire
Slaves to the steel
The smoke and the fire
It's all we've ever known
So we just keep
Destroying all around us
The taste of power is all that fuels us
Ravage the earth to its core
Then sell it all for what it's worth
All we know
Greed and power
Sweat and pain
Blood and oil
Burn our lives away
Burn our lives away
Destroying all around us
The taste of power is all that fuels us
Trading our years for gold
Then sell our souls, for all they're worth
At the end of the day
The smoke fades away
Our futures
Our free will
We'll only walk the path that's paved
Hopeless slaves
To desire and greed
We try to break away but
The fire is burning
It's pulling us in
We burn our lives away

Wither

We're already ghosts
Caught in the wind
A swift journey
Towards a bitter end
Searching for our reasons within
The moments keep passing
Slipping through our hands
For all we fear
Is eclipsed by the sun
One by one
Losing our loved ones
The smallest seed
The mountain tall
Time will devour us all
Hands behind my back
Can't change time
Can't change the past
The clock keeps spinning
Sun keeps rising
Time won't wait for me
Departed soul
Pull me away from it all
You left here with a part of me
Wait for me
While I wither and fade
When I'm bitter and weakened by age
Wait for me
And though I hear your voice
It's not enough, I need you here
I'm left with nails in my throat
As your footsteps disappear
I'll try but I
Can't change time
Can't change the past
The clock keeps spinning
The sun keeps rising
Time won't wait for me
The earth keeps spinning
The light finds shade
The years keep burning
While we wither and fade
We wither and fade
Departed soul
Pull me away from it all
We're already ghosts
Caught in the wind
A swift journey
Towards a bitter end
Searching for our reasons within
The moments keep slipping
Right through our hands
Hands behind my back
Can't change time
Can't change the past
The clock keeps spinning
The sun keeps rising
Time won't wait for me
And though I hear your voice
It's not enough, I need you here
I'm left with nails in my throat
As your footsteps disappear

Brainwashed
03:17
|
|||
|
Living for the unattainable
Helpless drones in empty homes
Paranoid and anxious
No hopes
Glued to your screens
Stuck to your fucking seats
No dreams
Who needs a goal?
Who needs reality?
Building stories to believe in
Consuming filtered lies
Show me
Show me something real
Show me a life worth living
I'll disconnect and disappear
Point of view perfection
Breeds burning jealousy
Immersed in pixelated lives
Confusing want with need
Confusing want with need
Have we all been brainwashed? (brainwashed)
We were meant for so much more
We could ascend above this place
We could leave it all
But it's wrapped around your neck
It's grips into your spine
Focused on a perfect world
Bleeding yourself dry
This is not what they meant, no.
This is not what they meant
This is not what they meant
When they said the world was in our hands.
When they said the world was in our hands
Show me
Show me something real
Show me a life worth living
I'll disconnect and disappear
We were meant for so much more
We could ascend above this place
We could leave it all
But it's wrapped around your neck
It's grips into your spine
Focused on a perfect world
Bleeding yourself dry

Guiding Light
03:30
|
|||
|
I've been drifting
Into a pre cast, moulded life
Surrendered
Living life in black and white
Searching
To answer the questions
That keep us up at night
Don't tell me
What I need
Who to follow
What to believe
Stronger than fear
Cross the divide
Prove to the world
Your not scared to fight
Become the voice
The guiding light
I've made my mistakes
But you still stood by me
Selfless intentions
But nothing's ever how it seems
Weight of the world on my shoulders
And the heart to carry on
It's weighing down on me
All the weights on me
Stronger than fear
Cross the divide
Prove to the world
Your not scared to fight
Become the voice
The guiding light
Hearts tired, bones weak
Hearts tired, bones weak
But there will be no strings on me
Stronger than fear
Cross the divide
Prove to the world
Your not scared to fight
Become the voice
The guiding light

So Far Gone
03:06
|
|||
|
A boy sits
Hands outstretched
Hoping for a second glance
Footsteps echo
Each and every step
Never satisfied
Never content
We are
So far gone
Clinging to hope
But there's nothing fucking left
Indulge and receive
Shelter for a homeless son
Fulfil and feed
Take it with a loaded gun
Show me the helpless
I know I can see
Listen to the whispering
The voices repeat
Maybe we're all blind
Filled with greed
Flick past the real world
Perception is reality
'Cause maybe we're all blind
Filled with greed
Flick past the real world
Perception is reality
A girl weeps,
Cold and lifeless in place
Just wishing how it once was
Just to be safe
But we still
Fulfil and feed
Take it with a loaded gun
What do we know of desperation?
What do we know?
How could we understand?
We have everything and nothing
Our heads are in the sand
Show me the helpless
I know I can see
Listen to the whispering
The voices repeat
Maybe we're all blind
Filled with greed
Flick past the real world
Perception is reality
'Cause maybe we're all blind
Filled with greed
Flick past the real world
Perception is reality

Fantastic EP, some of their best stuff. No Rest is just amazing, one of their best songs.

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.”
