The number nine. Gave me a chance. I Reach inside. And change the world. Now is the time for me to shine (now is the time, now is the time) As you wither in the darkness Time to shine His open eyes. Destroy my hate. Now I can love. All that I have Break from the pack Run to the light

And this is what you can expect from them. A whole lot of nothing at all. No taxation without mass inflation. Divided we stand united we fall No we can't Thank the Administration (There's flood and fire in the land of the wicked!) Thank the Administration For a nation bled of its cause Thank the Administration (I wanna fight so I punch my ticket tonight) Thank the Administration For a nation bled of its cause We rock the vote like we're dead this time. Take what we earn, add fear. Seems like forever, in this fucked up bread line. Enjoy the next four years No we can't

One day when our eyes are blackened. And we’re glowing eerie shades of green. Shadows burnt into the concrete. Like some omnipresent memory Advancing into the mountains. They ran away with our lives. A journey to the west. A place where dreams are kept. We used to build it all but now we watch it fall. We used to build it all!!!!!! One day when we finally wake up. From our world of make-believe. Falling fast for the final breakup. Burning bodies fall into the sea. To build a nation true. We bleed, fight and get screwed. Divided nations rise. United in disguise. We used to build it all but now we watch it fall. We used to build it all. Walk through a valley of death. To reach our last monument. We used to build it all. But now we watch it fall. We cannot take this anymore. All of the lies they say to bring us back to war. Our enemies are really not that far away. We need to set it straight or just expect a radiation day.

A New Nation 03:54
It's so hard to understand. I can’t understand. I take a pill to lend a hand. Again and again. I need a light. I’ve gotta go. I wanna intervention for my soul. Come on, Come On. Intervention for my soul. It’s so hard to make it end. It don’t ever end. It keeps reeling in my head. Again and again. I’m a new nation for lost souls. When I'm on my own my blood turns to stone. And I'm thinking about where I ought to be. Take your sympathy. Take your apathy. I don’t care. Now we watch it fall. And I’m not living but I’m breathing yeah. And I’m not living but I’m breathing yeah.

Grand Ruin 03:53
All that’s sacred, all is gone. Time can’t remake this, time takes too long. Until it sleeps no more forever, forever. All these zombies, all shades of grey. Naked bodies, state of decay. I’m trying hard to see, but this world keeps bleeding me. They raise their hands, above their head. They sing for praise, cause their spirits fade. All my brothers and all my sisters, all my lonely friends Yellow pictures, bring back some visions, that time has now worn thin. They took it all away. I’m trying hard to see forever.

Karma 03:40
When I threw that stone it came back, hit me in the face. Crown myself a king till karma put me in my place. This karma shot me in the back, I’m falling down my luck’s gone black, Storm clouds have gathered around me, now I see. Ringing in my ears I’m living, in a world confused. Looking back imagine all the bullets that I’ve used. In the end, now I see. It’s gonna get me, it’s gonna bring me down. It won’t upset me, I know what’s coming round.
7.
Time after time. Captured in lies. Spit right in my face. But now I’m seeing straight. Your name in blood… Hide in your disguise. I’m wounded but alive. It’s time to cut you loose. But all I want is a piece of you. Goodbye my love. You’ve made your choice. Now this knife will be my voice. Your name in blood… The wisdom of my youth. Turns the lies to truths. Set you on your way. Send my gift with hate. Hate. Coursing through my veins. I’m not like the others. All I see is red. Names. Etched upon your face. Crimson eyes won’t hypnotize me. When I see your name in blood.

I got a call Then saw its face Standing in the street I knew you were gone If it was up to me I’d make it so you were alive If it was up to me I would make it so you never died I got a call Tall figure in black Standing in the street I miss you

Her Darkness 03:07
She wore a darkness She wore it well, But it became a shroud as she fell. She sips champagne and mingles with high society people She loves her cocaine she thinks that nothing’s ever gonna beat her. Darkness And you know its 'bout to end It was a darkness, it came from hell (I could reach inside her, light the fire, devour her) A cloak of darkness, it cast a spell (I could reach inside her, light the fire, devour her) Darkness And you know its 'bout to end
10.
Strike you down, I just can’t believe Your soul’s left vacant, a seed of a memory. Heart of stone, keep yourself together, Through storms and violent weather, you’re on your own. Now there’s not a sound, Cause your world keeps burning down. Keep what’s left on the ground, Cause your world keeps burning, your world keeps burning down. Hit the ground, you have been deceived, Your voice has been stolen, but you got what you need. A subtle knife, digging very deep, Your scars are very clever, they stay out of sight. It’s all come undone, hallelujah! The time to shine has come, hallelujah!
11.
Jericho 04:13
Don't be afraid now, I'm leaving Cast my soul to hell Walk on down to Jericho And we'll knock down the walls ourselves You have a fear of the devil But I have the answers to all Hand in hand we help each other stand Singin' 'til judgement day Let me go. Carry me home Let me go. I know the time's ain't been easy I'm only a man, I get lost Find my bones and dust them off Finally, you've brought me home A Slave no more to the kingdom His soul is worn let it rest Trumpet blasts couldn't bring it back The city of cities is found Let me go. Carry me home Let me go.
12.
Take a little sip of destruction, Take a walk away from the truth. Waiting on a note of induction, Wait till you hang from a noose. This is not the last time. Listen to the sound of rejection, Burn you with the blade of the sun Spoken with a lack of perfection, Fool us with the trick of your tongue This is not the last time Ohh, rejoice, lament, then fade away Givin' out gifts that were broken, Speaking with a stone in your throat Livin’ with the lies that were spoken, Spit in the face of hope Forty lashes from your tongue, Light the matches ‘cause now we’re done Ohh, rejoice, lament, then fade away

about

I Decline Chicago, Illinois

The words “I Decline” represent a middle finger to the mediocrity in the world of modern hard rock & metal music. Fusing this creed with the attitude of Punk, riff-laden hooks of Classic and Stoner Rock, and the fury of Heavy Metal, I Decline crafts its own hybrid of hard-edged music that they define as the “New Wave of American Punk Metal”.
