STRIDENT LYRICS

1. Hard-Bitten

Life is a hard adventure
Strongest endure the tension
Weakness won't buy you anything
Just a frustrating memories

Live without fear
Drive, brake a wheel
Get whatever you want
Climb, reach the top
Hard-Bitten

Learn the game we play
Tough rules we must obey
Strike of doom will make you cower
The lesson brings you power

Oh
No
Pain
Everybody knows it
Everybody fears it
Everybody needs it
Gaining strength in the game

Live without fear
Drive, brake a wheel
Get whatever you want
Climb, reach the top

Live without fear
Drive, brake a wheel
Get whatever you want
Climb, reach the top
Hard-Bitten

2. Paranoia of the Tyrant

Fear living in your bones
That someone might take your throne
Keeps you up awake at night
As it grows your thoughts ignite

Paranoia of the Tyrant

Power
Intoxicates you
And then it makes you
Desire more
Rotten to the fucking core

Enemies all must die
For the regime to survive
Poison them shoot them dead
Get them out of your sick head

Paranoia of the Tyrant

Power
Intoxicates you
And then it makes you
Desire more
Rotten to the fucking core

Kill
Spirit
Of the
Population

Scared of your own shadow, you're pathetic
Extra bloated ego is synthetic

Fear living in your bones
That someone might take your throne
Keeps you up awake at night
As it grows your thoughts ignite

Paranoia of the Tyrant

Power
Intoxicates you
And then it makes you
Desire more
Rotten to the fucking core

Power
Intoxicates you
And then it makes you
Desire more
Rotten to the fucking core

3. War

Act of senseless murdering
Hunter, prey - same fucking thing
Bullets flying everywhere

Once a young man full of dreams
Now just pile of scattered limbs
His brain tissues on my coat

Bombings lighting up the sky
Take a breathe before you die
Smog of rotting human flesh

If you'll manage to survive
Say hello to sleepless nights
Haunted 'til the day you die

War
Who is it good for
Privileged
Powerful

War
Who is it good for
Egotistical
Cowards

War
Who benefits from it
War

War
Who reaps the fruits of it
War

4. End It

Without machines unable to breathe on my own
Praying for death but the sweet relief never comes
Empty stare is all that you'll get from me
Lifeless eyes reflect my misery

Their laws make my life
A worthless piece of shit
Take me to the yard
A shot to the head will end it

End it
Now
End it
Now

Doctors say that I have many years
They don't know it's one of mine biggest fears
Doctors say that I look very well
They don't know it's a living hell

Their laws make my life
Worthless piece of shit
Take me to the yard
Shot to the head will end it

End it
Now
End it
Now

Without machines unable to breathe on my own
Praying for death but the sweet relief never comes
Empty stare is all that you'll get from me
Lifeless eyes reflect my misery

Their laws make my life
A worthless piece of shit
Take me to the yard
A shot to the head will end it

End it
Now
End it
Now

5. Sick Irony

There is no justice
There is no God
There is no order
Only chaos in this world
Priests raping children
Such godly men
Then moments later
Forgiveness they convey

Good people die
Before their time
Yet scum remains

Fight
To survive
And fail
Life is a sick irony
You should laugh
While you can
Life is a sick

Rich getting richer
Stepping on the poor
Shit in golden toilet
Still smells like shit

Good people die
Before their time
Yet scum remains

Fight
To survive
And fail
Life is a sick irony
You should laugh
While you can
Life is a sick irony

Women get
Stoned to death
No one cares
Innocent
Rot in cold
Prison cells

Fight
To survive
And fail
Life is a sick irony
You should laugh
While you can
Life is a sick irony

6. Today Is on Display

Voices hardly stop but when they do
Silence crawls right in and burns me through
Escape is anything but an option at this point
Hope is dead I know that

Look away
Today is on display
Mentally ill in pain
Today is on display
Look away
Today is on display
Mentally ill in pain
Today is on display

Deep cuts only pretty when I bleed
Something real to feel is what I need
Sleepless nights as well as sleepless days
Headbutt the wall 'til my head obeys

Look away
Today is on display
Mentally ill in pain
Today is on display
Look away
Today is on display
Mentally ill in pain
Today is on display

Escape is anything but an option at this point
Hope is dead I know that

Look away
Today is on display
Mentally ill in pain
Today is on display
Look away
Today is on display
Mentally ill in pain
Today is on display

7. Incarnated

Sores on the arms
No meat on the cheeks
Eyes filled with pain
Slowly drives me insane

Hallucinations
Bad trips
Withdrawal
Are my reality

Liberated
Consciousness
Free of judgement

Incarnated
Happiness
In the needle

Then it wears off
Reality strikes
Death wishing bites

Once in awhile
When I find will power
The monster crawls my back
Everything turns into black

Hallucinations
Bad trips
Withdrawal
Are my reality

Liberated
Consciousness
Free of judgement

Incarnated
Happiness
In the needle

Then it wears off
Reality strikes
Death wishing bites

Giving in
To the drug
No control

Nothing else
Seems to fill
Empty hole

Giving in
To the drug
No control

Crash and burn
Lost all hope
Broken soul

Sores on the arms
No meat on the cheeks
Eyes filled with pain
Slowly drives me insane

Hallucinations
Bad trips
Withdrawal
Are my reality

Liberated
Consciousness
Free of judgement

Incarnated
Happiness
In the needle

Then it wears off
Reality strikes
Death wishing bites
Then it wears off
Reality strikes
Death wishing bites

8. Under My Flag

Staring at you everything you do
You are telling me the "truth" filling me with anger
So many lies there are difficult times
I know your end is near

Sitting in the dark with only one spark
Having teeth like a shark won't be revealed
Feeding our lives with lies we despise
Emptiness and fear

Cheated, lied, robbed by politicians
Blinded, grinded, separated go, just go
Do not get in to that business
Save you fucking life from their control

You
Come with me
Under my flag
Lose your dreams
Under my flag
Close your eyes
Under my flag
Choose my lies
Under my flag

Rise off your knees fight the disease
Fear will be erased you'll find the answer
System has failed and the spirit got nailed
By authorities to the cross

Slipping their sight at the darkest night
Dreams of future aren't right while dying of hunger
Maniac's dreams fuels the killing machine
Forcing you to loose

Cheated, lied, robbed by politicians
Blinded, grinded, separated go, just go
Do not get in to that business
Save you fucking life from their control

You
Come with me
Under my flag
Lose your dreams
Under my flag
Close your eyes
Under my flag
Choose my lies
Under my flag

Staring at you everything you do
You are telling me the "truth" filling me with anger
So many lies there are difficult times
I know your end is near

Sitting in the dark with only one spark
Having teeth like a shark won't be revealed
Feeding our lives with lies we despise
Emptiness and fear

Cheated, lied, robbed by politicians
Blinded, grinded, separated go, just go
Do not get in to that business
Save you fucking life from their control

You
Come with me
Under my flag
Lose your dreams
Under my flag
Close your eyes
Under my flag
Choose my lies
Under my flag

9. Deal with the Beast

Give me your contract
I sell you my soul
I promise, I'll pay you
Take it once and for all

Give me reign of power
World by cheap price
I must live forever and ever
Don't feed me with lies

By blood I sign deal
Deal with the beast
Deal with the beast

Bonded by darkness
Could not see the truth
I sell all my being
Life has been used

There is no way out
There is no escape
My soul going down
Choice has been made

By blood I sign deal
Deal with the beast
Deal with the beast

You can scream until tomorrow
Hell is now your native home
Second chances are not to borrow
Look at what you have become

By blood I sign
By blood I sign
By blood I sign deal
