We are oppressed We are exploited We are downtrodden We are denied not only civil rights but even human rights So the only way we're going to get some of this oppression and exploitation away from us or asaid from us is come together against the common enemy.

Will Of Iron 03:40
They built a prison where we can die slowly, profit is the reason, the first and only. Line for a white bag. Line for the slavery. Every day you work, while your dreams die, ‘till the last hope falls and only lies remain. The easier path is around the corner, you can reach out your hand and accept death. Change, you’ve got it written in your heart, in your veins, into the essence of your being. Straight edge first step against this society. I won’t bow. Will of iron! Fuck your compromise, I'll make my own destiny. I’ll face life head-on without betraying my identity. I’ll turn my weakness into my fucking strength. Rage will be my fuel, revolution will be the last goal. Many enemies. Few friends. One chance in your hands. You never gave up and you never will…. Will of iron!
3.
By The Pain 03:41
You live to dominate. A new victim every day. Spitting venom and prejudice, you crush everything on your way. Hate is your useless life and you believe you are right. Never punished as you deserve. In the pack, your fucking strength. Problem of education? Problem of self-determination? You’re used to deal all like an object: people, animals, Earth. You have no respect for life, you have no respect for diversity Fuck your “identity”. Rape culture. Sex oppression. A lot of excuses. Hide your spite! You scar with your assertions, you kill with your actions. None is spared, none is important. Fucking coward. You machist scum, stupid misogynistic loser. Your time is over. You must choose. Pain or salvation, Fall or dedication. End of ignorance, Era of belligerance. Fucking coward. Freedom is one and the chains imposed by one of us weigh on the shoulders of all. We will prevail. We’re organizing ourselves. Self defence!

Explosions shake the ground. Start of a new dawn. Screams are as lightnings rending the sluggish, as flames enfolding the most fervents, as scourge striking the indolent. The yoke has been broken, empire is fallen. Column of black smoke obscures the sky. Now, it’s the time to change our life. The iron heel is ready to strike. We won’t die without a fight. Centuries of oppression and now we can see the light. The black beast woke up. Millions of enraged people assault the barracks and fill the streets. The wolves of yesterday are the sheep of today. Insurrection has begun, which side will you be on? Ring out the bells upon this day of days. This day of days! Victory or death

Capitalism, war industry, corporations and class oppression, billions of slaves and lands soaked of blood; all of this happens in the sunlight, in a short time frame. Few revolts and easily suppressed. We’re living in hard times, in which equality is conformity and freedom is the right to be a consumer, accomplices are mass media with their lies. Focus public attention on a single point, making everything else vanish, disorient and divide. Erasing historical memory, destroy ties of solidarity, spread the fear of others, standardize all subjects. Social psychological manipulation: Strong and invisible power! Heterogeneous dissolves into homogeneous, unconscious characters predominate. Dominion Political and economic elites dominate without any disturbance. Stifle the debate! Tempest of constant distractions, flood of insignificant information. Dominion Play with emotions, turn off any reflection. Distortion of reality, pollute society. Fear as a form of control, slavery as the last goal.
6.
Alone in a cage. Screaming and crying. Smell of blood all around me. Mud and corpses, a hell on Earth where innocent are punished. Tension is in the air, terror in my veins, I can touch the fear. Quick steps, one human hand. Death! My heart skips, it’s not my turn, I breathe. One more day alive on Earth. Is this life? Under the shadow of a knife? Is this life? Week by week blood continues to flow. My cellmate died two days ago, What does it all mean? Am i the one to blame? I hope this will be all over soon. This is it, how the men kill.
7.
War Blood trail, looting features your history, Entire continents under your domain. You talk about liberty and values ​​of democracy, but you are only a bearer of slavery. The United States Declaration of Independence establishes that all men are created equal; but what kind of men? Privileged white men. In 246 years of existence, USA fought wars for 222. All people around the world knew the claws of the eagle, all countries met the exploitation of the NATO’s hegemony, but we know well that empires can also burn. Burn! From scratch till the last stone, Burn! Racism, bigotry, blind nationalism, genocides, greed, pure imperialism. They were born over the indios bones, they prospered with the blood of the slaves. The first to plunder Earth, the last to respect life. Meanwhile the world is on a knife edge and human beings are degraded. Wars for the control of energy resources becoming even more hardened. And the USA takes over. From scratch till the last stone, Burn!
8.
A bloody war, It rages over this world, between freedom and reaction, fought for generations. Fascism is a cancer and must be extirpated. Flames. Lead. Erase the disease! We can’t forget all the fallen, all the injustice. Never! We’ll be the light in the darkest night. They shall not pass! Blind conformism, murder capitalism, strongman single party politics. Poisonous sewer called ideology supported by cowards, servants of the authority. Shoulder to shoulder, back to back we will advance, we will storm them. Not a step back! We can’t forget all the fallen, all the injustice. Never! We’ll be the light in the darkest night. They shall not pass The line has been crossed your bullshit attitude gives us a good reason to let the fight begin Forced to see our values burned by slimy worms We are born to to burn your cradle and proud to dig your tomb You shall not pass Resistance!
9.
You’re not on our side. We don't share anything. Your wealth is built on the backs of the poor and oppressed. Team spirit, motivation, other words to say subjection. Minimum wage, no fucking rights. I don't know how many hours I’ve spent working, while you get richer, leaving us with the crumbs. Forever enemy! Inhuman death machine. Goods instead of lives. Millions of fists to the sky. Kill the beast. Forever enemy! We will not yield, there are no chains that can contain our hate. Forever enemy!
