Hard Times Hit Us All

We fall down to rise again

Sucking on the tit of self pitty

Our eyes cry tears made of ash

Blood turns sour in our veins

As we crawl to the safety of falling stars

Inside the mouths of hungry beasts now

The world feels so much safer with claws in us

Deconstruction of the human mind begins

A lesson in violence is learned

Taught by masters in the art of death

Terror strikes and we fall silent

Lost to the voices inside our heads

Anguish takes hold and we wither

Back to the dust we came from

Mountains fall on our heads

As we call them to crush our shame

To hide us from what we hate most

Those little black marks on our record

The hatred we hold for ourselves

Beating the tyrant to a pulp

When will you pick up the ax and swing?

Knocking down the ruthless and the evil

Don't cry when you get hit

Just hit back twice as hard in hopes to kill

Maim your enemies and destroy their souls

End all the hard times that seem to hit us all

Speak to me of truth and justice

And I will speak to you of judgment and wrath

Fire from the sky followed with boils and plagues

Slapping me with your tongue of treachery

I will remove your forked tongue of wretched lies

With rusty knives I will cut it off

Throwing it into the fire with all the unneeded branches

Slashed from the vine you are worthless

All because you wouldn't put yourself back on

It's your fault that your life is falling down like this

So don't blame me, look at yourself

Times get hard for everyone, but not everyone is crying

Some like me will take a stand and fight back

The age of the coward is gone forever

Grow and backbone and stiffen up

Prepare to throwdown and cast out the weak

Fear does not exsist, only when you make it

Get ready to kill, steal, and destroy

Hard times are coming, don't be left with nothing
