Heathen-Opiate Of The Masses

My favorite song from this album

The future is scarred by the bloodstained past
Haunted by disgrace
Holy wars that are never ending
Forever fight of faith
Don't accuse these meaningless symbols
Created by mankind
Will they recognize their own creation?
Can they be so blind?

Fools manipulating all they see
Cruel as the world can be
Cries of pain as the tortured souls
whither away into the dust
Power is the fix
And man is drawn to it
The illness and the lies
The virus never dies

To captivate the minds of the masses
Tell them what they want to hear
And for those who will oppose you
They will live in fear
Domination your favorite sensation
Operated by remote control
In your hands are the lives of the helpless
Their fate they'll never know

Fools manipulating all they see
Cruel as the world can be
Cries of pain as the tortured souls
Whither away into the dust

Power is the fix
And man is drawn to it
No matter the cost of what's won or lost
Addiction planted the seed
That sprouted the tree of greed
The illness and the lies
The virus never dies

Control your own destiny
Get rid of insecurity
There's little truth in what they say
Don't let 'em steal your life away

Power
To this world brings death and destruction
Leaving the earth in decay
Money
Breeds organized crime and corruption
Who says that crime doesn't pay?
Greed The green-seeking virus that spreads
And manifests your selfish needs
Spreading the addiction
Man's own contradiction
When it's themselves that they deceive

Thrash metal fans: Being able to make any thrash metal video on YouTube turn into an argument about Metallica since 2005.

"this album is a better "and justice for all"" as quoted by ryan waste

[bluefukingreene]

@Hughesy16LFC thanks alot.i appreciate that very much.we got 8 tunes on the record... 9 if you include the intro.about an hour worth of music....this is our first record..an ep will follow by fall.

[Hughesy16LFC]

@bluefukingreene Yeh i look forward to it. Im a drummer too and i have to say your very talented from what ive heard, can really hear the Gene Hoglan influence in your playing. I'll subscribe to you so that i can hear/purchase your new songs.

[Hughesy16LFC]

@bluefukingreene Gave it a lesson and im quite impressed. Obviously the vocals aint a strong point but they do the job. I like the themes you write about and its kl that your band is educated about conspiracies, media brainwashing, 3rd eye etc. Btw if you like technical, melodic thrash covering similar themes i suggest the albums "Think This" and "For Whose Advantage" if you havent heard them.

@Larsi1k Hey your kinda right now that i think of it. Good ear dude.

[blackmeatdude]

@arrestedshrimp no comparison mettalica's, side, tho haha i love em both

[bluefukingreene]
