Keep The Corpses Quiet

The Forgotten Keep The Corpses Quiet Lyrics
1.Who Blames You

I blame the state and I blame authority
I blame hate, I blame the majority
I blame the flame that burns in the back of my eyes

I blame this and I blame that
And I pass the blame every chance I get
Cuz I ain't gonna take the fall this time

Who blames you?
Who blames you?
I blame you

I'll blame my anger, I'll blame every stranger
I'll blame the schools and I'll blame the news
I hold you down and force the blame on you

I blame the Army, Air force, Marines
I blame the drugs that took my friends from the scene
But most of all, I gotta blame you

Who blames you?
Who blames you?
I blame you


2.Forced To Believe

That's right, you're forced to believe in
A life of servitude known as religion
You'll never get to make the decisions

Any argument is blasphemy
Pockets are lined with 'In God We Trust'
Every politician makes theological push
I thought the church was separate from the state
In whose god do we trust?

What's the final, what's the final truth? - Heretics must repent
What's the final, what's the final truth? - Get in line for the
sacrament
What's the final, what's the final truth? - Bow your head and on
your knees
What's the final, what's the final truth? - You'll be forced to
believe

On the side of the bed, I was kneeling
Wish I could pray, but I'm just a heathen
I just can't seem to find my faith

You speak blasphemy
I went to church cuz I had no choice
Regurgitated words but I had no voice
Threw my money in the collection tray
Paying for salvation

What's the final, what's the final truth? - Heretics must repent
What's the final, what's the final truth? - Get in line for the
sacrament
What's the final, what's the final truth? - Bow your head and on
your knees
What's the final, what's the final truth? - You'll be forced to
believe

Organized religion I denounce
Paying to have god rammed down yer throat
They never give you what you really need
They just want to force you to believe


3.Silent Weapons

From the tops of the ivory towers
They force the violence on the streets below
Unrealistic rules and regulations
Exposed in the bastards final show

Silent weapons - Storm promises Hell tomorrow
Quiet wars - Rest well you can tonight
Silent weapons - Storm promises Hell tomorrow
Quiet wars - Rest well you can tonight

'One World' is the cover
To keep you blind to the orders and plan
'Freeman' is an oxymoron
As backwards as the statues' fucking name

Silent weapons - Storm promises Hell tomorrow
Quiet wars - Rest well you can tonight
Silent weapons - Storm promises Hell tomorrow
Quiet wars - Rest well you can tonight


4.Air Raid

Air raid!
I hear the screaming sirens
Cutting through the night
As they try to warn the town
There's gonna be a firefight
Pull out all the furniture
And douse all yer lights
Light yer life on fire
Pray you won't get killed tonight

Duck and cover, bombs are falling - Air raid!
Duck and cover, bombs are falling - Air raid!

Shock waves hit the town
Terrible ripping thunder
Bodies litter the sides of the streets
As blood runs down the gutter
The survivors' eyes, they sting
From the smoke, sweat, and tears
As planes rip from the horizon
Confirming all their fears

Duck and cover, bombs are falling - Air raid!
Duck and cover, bombs are falling - Air raid!


5.Revolutionary

Spat from the womb at a running pace
He's a revolutionary
Never complacent with what he's got
He breathes the winds of change
He never will make it to a history book
This revolutionary
No one cares about the underdog
Unless he's a celebrity

Take a stand, you're pushed too far
Gonna demand what's rightfully ours
Just want the chance to try and make a living
This is the demand of the revolution

He will not rest 'till things are right
He's a revolutionary
Unless he dies before he's done
And that's probably how it'll be
Standing for those forgotten by the state
Scream 'Revolutionary!'
Come and join the wet-works tonight
Be the nation's pride

Take a stand, you're pushed too far
Gonna demand what's rightfully ours
Just want the chance to try and make a living
This is the demand of the revolution


6.Genocide

Fired from the wind and I'm speeding
On metal my flames will be feeding
Cutting through the clouds like a laser
A plutonium heat-seeking murder

Black turns to flame in the skies at night
You don't need eyes to see - It's genocide

I'm chasing the heat of the living
I need no god I need no nutrition
I only heed one single call
I'm the best soldier of 'em all

Black turns to flame in the skies at night
You don't need eyes to see - It's genocide

I own the lives of what's lock in my sights
I hit harder than genocide
More devastation than a hundred men could ever do
I was made to destroy things like you


7.No System

Capitalism, opportunity knocking
You can get what you want
Fill your life with a need for greed
Nothing is enough
Then some live in poverty
And people die on the streets
So you shout 'It's not fair, Socialism is the cure!'

No system
No system will work

Now you have your equal pay
And you'll feel better on judgment day
Food and shelter for everyone
Wait - you still complain
'Where's our incentive to work hard'
'Out in the factory yard?'
'I'll get no more than him'
Now we all will suffer

No system
No system will work
No system
No system will work


8.Outsider

Well I lived in hell, long as I could
I walked the sands of No Man's Land
Longer than I should
Killed the gardens in Babylon
And bitten the hand that feeds me
Every time that I could

Walked in the desert
Eaten the locust
Followed the plight of the Outsider
Still you walk all over me
Walk in the steps of the Outsider

I'm forced to stand and try to fight
When the demons in blood say some things ain't right
The monkey on my back might throw my over
Or is it you're pretending you're in my corner

Walked in the desert
Eaten the locust
Followed the plight of the Outsider
Still you walk all over me
Walk in the steps of the Outsider


9.Condemned

We were young and fearless, the keepers of our lives
Don't want no one to take away, the brotherhood that we built
So we raised the brand and sunk it to our flesh
It was there to symbolize we weren't to be messed with

Then we took unto the streets
And shouted out our name
And collected every fool that felt
Society's disdain - distain

This was our mistake, our downfall could be clocked
The tight core, our brotherhood were petrified with shock
Something had to be done, we must be split up
Everything we cared about we had just fucked up

So we raised the sword of justice and cut out the malignant
growth
Praying that would save our mane our faces and our throats

Traitors - tarnishing our name
Traitors - on you we put the shame

We now reside is silence, the name is never spoke
The core still carries pride, and the shame for what we broke
The brands have all been covered by scars and some tattoos
And even though the crew's no more, our ideals still stand true

So we raised the sword of justice and cut out the malignant
growth
Praying that would save our mane our faces and our throats


10.Get Out

You used to be about everything
Now yer just a face in the crowd
Like all of the men that came before you
Well, yer just one of them now
What made you right were the small differences
Things that you really meant

Now ya put yerself up
And now yer ready to be knocked down
Knock down in the street

When confronted by a youth that's just cutting his teeth
You turn yer head and you walk away
Yer not the same as back in the day
You don't hold yer head high as you go walkin' by
The flame's burned out inside

Now ya put yerself up
And now yer ready to be knocked down
Knock down in the street

You used to be about everything
Now yer just a face in the crowd
Like all of the men that came before you
Well, yer just one of them now
What made you right were the small differences
Things that you really meant

Now ya put yerself up
And now yer ready to be knocked down
Knock down in the street


11.Keep The Corpses Quiet

The subject's killed
The topic is dead and buried
No evidence to out our lies
No skeletons barkin' 'bout what they seen
Loose ends are sewn up just like mouths

Keep the corpses quiet
??
Keep the corpses quiet
Leave the evidence where they lay

There is no evil seen, heard or talked about
At least none that you can find
Who hasn't been the murderer, lie, cheat, or thief
There's no innocent to cast the first stone

Keep the corpses quiet
??
Keep the corpses quiet
Leave the evidence where they lay


12.No More Youth

Gonna take my fist
Bring it down and smash this place
Now that boredom's in every crevice of it
Should I try to fight or just drink it down?
Gotta hit the streets and try to fix this town

No more youth anymore
No more youth anymore
No more youth
???

So I gave it all that I had to give
I only regret I've got one life to give
To the town that lived back when I was young
Now it's just a littered breeding place for bums

No more youth anymore
No more youth anymore
No more youth
???


13.The Corps

Back buried in a laboratory
P.O.W.s that can't tell their stories
Blood replaced with saline
Nerves pushed too far to offer any feeling

No one's gonna save you
You're only gonna die
No one's gonna save you
You're only gonna die

All governments always knew
Secrets traded for human life
Vile men with odd experiments
Killing off all their patients

No one's gonna save you
You're only gonna die
No one's gonna save you
You're only gonna die


14.Ain't Gonna Lose The War

Hands tied behind my back
Blindfolded and I can't see out
Keep working but ya just don't count
Treat everything like it just don't matter
Don't give a fuck about the lives you shattered

I'm talking 'bout a new revolution
New breed and a new uprising
You scoffed and ya said we couldn't do it
Lives of common man shot to shit
Cuz ya don't give a fuck about lower class

And you know - There ain't nothin' in it for me
And you know - They'll win every time
And you know - Ain't gonna see no money

???
True sounds of liberty lost
Treat everything like it just don't matter
Don't give a fuck about the lives you shattered

I'm talking 'bout a new revolution
New breed and a new uprising
You scoffed and ya said we couldn't do it
Lives of common man shot to shit
Cuz ya don't give a fuck about lower class

And you know - There ain't nothin' in it for me
And you know - They'll win every time
And you know - Ain't gonna see no money

We lost the battle but we ain't gonna lost the war

And you know - There ain't nothin' in it for me
And you know - They'll win every time
And you know - Ain't gonna see no money

We lost the battle but we ain't gonna lost the war


15.Nothing To Lose

Everyone's fucked up and no one's having fun
1 2 3 4 keystone 12er's where have they gone?
Another fuckin' tragedy...another breakdown
Slumped in the corner...I wanna passout
We are the Forgotten...We've got nothing to lose
We are the Forgotten...We've got nothing to prove
Hey there you miserable, you wanna find a friend?
Just put me to your lips and swallow me right down
It'll listen to your problems for a $1.79
Lie, cheat, and steal and then you will be mine
