Lyrics

Straight edge - the discipline
The key to selfliberation is abstinence from the destructive escapism of
Intoxication. I separate from the poison - a mindlessness
I've always abhored. usage will only increase the pain, a truth i
Constantly see ignored. the pollutants that kill the body breed
Apathy within the mind. the substances that once brought
Release in the end will always confine
From drug-clouded lungs and veins motviation dissipates
Imprisoned within addiction
Abuse increases until death overtakes
Enslaved by concupiscence, promiscuity leads to despair
Victims used and abandoned by
Liars who professed to care. self-exiled from their insanity
Striving to attain higher levels of purity. the beauty in life
Is mine to know. amidst the ruin I survive. I've got to stay free
Damage everywhere - infections at every turn. through my
Refusal to partake I saved myself. abstinence was the beginning
What's important is what's done with the freedom step by
Step I overcome. alone I climb the staircase to edification
Deliverance- from birth an existence of agony begins that ends
With execution. intentionally infected with diseases
To then try to find cures for humans. fractured skulls, broken bones
Scalded flesh and blinded eyes
For medical research and cosmetic testing animals suffer and die
Walls conceal the tortured
Victims of vivisection. nothing of value can be gained
For science or medicine when the price is a helpless animal's life
An animal becomes a subject - their pain a mere reaction
Harmless testing alternatives ignored - they refuse to end their
Profit system. the suffering benefits mankind - the excuse
For demented scientists whose brutalization of the innocent
Denegrates humanity's existance. when education
And peaceful protest can't bring their liberation the strategy for their
Rescue changes into militant intervention
Every action has an impact. every life saved is a victory
The truth known by the
Caring few who wage guerilla warfare to end this atrocity
Severed locks, doors wrenched from hinges, the animals deliverance
From torment and captivity. vivisectionists dragged
Into the street and shot as flames engulf the laboratory. justice's
Hammer falls again and again until it ends
When the price is a helpless animal's life
