Defy
The rumors to whispers
That makes a crass man boundDefy
Their break in mercy
To consume the myth through flawlessnessIt's been discovered
What they've exposed
Harbors the failures
To what we own
And they comply
To justify
Those shifting winds of conformityThis is a make or break elation
A razor to writs slit recovery
The struggle to botch
Impulsive structure from a slow-handed conspiracy
It Bears to all exploitation
Empowered but uncoveredSeminal
SeminalNear and dear to our hearts desire
Inception to reign with havoc fist
Call the bluff
On smoking guns
When first loves turn fatalityDefend
Life's note and fact
The tension to tame the iconoclast
Defend
Life's torn out pages
And reverse their sands in the hourglassBury the hatchet in the name of progression
They're living on their knees
We walk the line
Stripped and severed
While kindred thoughts build unbearableSeminal
SeminalNear and dear to our hearts desire
Inception to reign with havoc fist
Call the bluff
On smoking guns
When first loves turn fatalityOut of step or out of reach
Rapture for the fallen
A piece of them is a part of me
But their voices are left unheardThey never scream
They never starve
They never bleed
They never suffer
And they will never ever understandDeceive
Those jubilant whores
With the delicate sense in deliveryDeceive
The crashing bores
Who've left us hung out to dry and diePart the seas
And pave your way
To the sirens of new noise
Let the lace be the bait
As the past as the past portrays
While you leave the enemy entertainedWe'll always scream
We'll always starve
Seminal
Always bleed
Always suffer
We are the sentiment
For we were raised in the shadows
