Zero Hour 01:14
We stand on the precipice of an era, where the shadows of oppression grow larger with every passing day. The world as we knew it is gone. Someone hit the reset switch, and there were those standing by waiting to take advantage of the chaos. We’re now staring down the barrel of a future that threatens to annihilate our very humanity. We sacrifice privacy for convenience, freedom for the illusion of security, and our very lives are mirrored in cyberspace, available for anyone to exploit, whilst we’re too distracted by our modern vices to care. However, I stand before you to say that our destiny is not written in stone, but only if we stand not as victims, but as architects of our future. We must unite, and not under the banners that you see to the left and to the right, but as citizens of the Earth forging a new path together. Lift your heads and join us in bringing the dawn of a new era. We have worlds to win, and nothing left to lose. This is our new beginning. This is our Zero Hour.

Doomsday 03:23
(So welcome to doomsday) Tell me why have you fallen behind Brought down by all they plant in your mind I know it's all a part of a design So you feel alone So welcome to doomsday We're throwing a party And if you just wanted To burn it down We're setting fire to the streets We're rising above while you obey So far away from what you have known Are you afraid to lose your control Drowning inside this delusional goal Do you feel alive So welcome to doomsday We're throwing a party And if you just wanted To burn it down We're setting fire to the streets We're rising above while you obey All for one and none for all With our backs against the wall Falling down the rabbit hole It takes us all below Oh what have we become So welcome to doomsday We're throwing a party And if you just wanted To burn it down We're setting fire to the streets We're rising above while you obey

Blackout 04:04
I see you in the flame Burning down from a debt to repay I see them entertained They laugh cause they don't have a warning Medicated and you don't even know it So sedated that you think you're in love with A reality that has been deeply distorted It's taking its toll We're bringing upon the blackout Shutting it down and all else Won't you come on and play now It's time to unleash your rage In the dark we Become the judge and jury Isn't it so rewarding To make them feel all your pain In the blackout Hold up now, cut the line Just see how long you feel divine We see you, this is war Watch your empire fall to the floor Medicated and you don't even know it So sedated that you think you're in love with A reality that has been deeply distorted It's taking its toll We're bringing upon the blackout Shutting it down and all else Won't you come on and play now It's time to unleash your rage In the dark we Become the judge and jury Isn't it so rewarding To make them feel all your pain In the blackout Fellow citizens, we apologize for this broadcast interruption. We are CANTERVICE and we have a message for you. We have bore witness to the erosion of privacy and human rights, whilst simultaneously being force fed dichotomy to keep us distracted from the truth. The truth, that we are all slaves to a system that abuses our very human nature for financial and political gain. Citizens, the time has come and for their impunity to end. This is the uprising. Transcended, feel the shift? We brought you down with a flip of a switch We don't forgive And we'll never forget At the end of your wits Don't expect us to spare you Blackout Shutting it down and all else Won't you come on and play now It's time to unleash your rage In the dark we Become the judge and jury Isn't it so rewarding To make them feel all your pain In the blackout Transcended, feel the shift? We brought you down with a flip of a switch We don't forgive And we'll never forget At the end of your wits Don't expect us to spare you In the dark we Become the judge and jury Isn't it so rewarding To make them feel all your pain In the blackout (In the blackout)

Hear the sound, all bow down, show your loyalty You are advised to just comply, and don't you hesitate Do you remember the time from before? When we questioned everything and thought we owned the world? We gather round and say farewell While we embrace our prescribed humanity So step into a world where no one dies It's time to let go and free your mind Listen to the sound of the voice inside you This is the masquerade where we disobey, yeah, yeah The masquerade They infect, no consent, watch us all degrade All of our minds are in decline, so we medicate This was the plan right from the start Self-destruction by design while we just play along Burn it to the ground, we’re so compelled To entertain this cauterized insanity So step into a world where no one dies It's time to let go and free your mind Listen to the sound of the voice inside you This is the masquerade where we disobey We are the ones who went down the rabbit hole And came out on the other side So step into a world where no one dies This is the masquerade where we disobey, yeah, yeah Come inside, redefine, this is the new domain Wake up call, the pressure’s on, and it’s your final warning Round and round to the sound of their tyranny Do they think they can decide in our name? Feel the weight of these chains lift away Once we have gone to the other side So step into a world where no one dies It's time to let go and free your mind Listen to the sound of the voice inside you This is the masquerade where we disobey We are the ones who went down the rabbit hole And came out on the other side So step into a world where no one dies This is the masquerade where we disobey, yeah, yeah (This is the masquerade where we disobey) (This is the masquerade where we disobey)

(Into the dark) Into the dark Into the nothing Falling apart In a system that’s failing Into the dark Throwing it all away To be one of the many Got caught up in the game In a round of charades There is nothing left of me anymore I’ve tried to stay withdrawn But the show will go on Everybody plays along So now, I’m slipping away Got the new disease Everybody, look at me ‘Cause now my eyes are open We’ve set free a madness that can’t be contained Now watch as our humanity fades away Into the dark Into the nothing Falling apart In a system that’s failing Into the dark Throwing it all away To be one of the many Going through a phase Put my life on display But I’m hiding my mistakes All the while I’m lost inside the lie There’s a loop in my mind Where my sanity declines And now I’m wasting away In the bed that I made Everybody, look at me ‘Cause now my mind is broken Look at me now (look at me now) A hollow shell (a hollow shell) Drifting through the endless void of Hell (endless void of Hell) It takes its toll (it takes its toll) When you lose it all (when you lose it all) Watching your apocalypse unfold Into the dark Into the nothing Falling apart In a system that’s failing Into the dark (into the dark) Throwing it all away To be one of the many Into the dark (into the dark) Into the nothing Falling apart (falling apart) In a system that’s failing Into the dark (into the dark) Throwing it all away To be one of the many

We are staring from a distance Ignoring what was always at stake There’s no care about tomorrow Although our time is borrowed today We can’t carry on like this will go on forever Watching as our time fades away It’s the point of no return, now When the world comes crashing down Spinning right into the sun As our orbit comes undone We have lingered in the shadows So lost within the echoes of pain When the whole world is left in darkness Will we remain in silence, afraid? So what will it take for us to save this endeavor? Watching as our time fades away It’s the point of no return, now When the world comes crashing down Spinning right into the sun As our orbit comes undone In the face of devastation Will we change this course we’re on? Spinning right into the sun It’s the point of no return We’ve fallen so far down below So alone, while searching for light in the dark We’ve succumbed, now fearing all of the unknown Don’t let go of finding our place in the stars We make our own hope It’s the point of no return, now When the world comes crashing down Spinning right into the sun As our orbit comes undone In the face of devastation Will we change this course we’re on? Spinning right into the sun It’s the point of no return

(Artificial minds) At the start, there came a spark of imagination From a different world that we have felt such an attraction There’s something wrong in the balance of this whole equation A fatal flaw within the code of our obsession Falling inside, we don’t hesitate Ignoring the signs, we can’t stay away Bringing a plague on the human race Now there’s no way to be saved (to be saved, to be saved) Waking up within a dream To find a new reality Where everybody’s designed With artificial minds (With artificial minds) Playing god all for the fun, with no discretion We blur the lines between benign and what’s malicious Falling inside, we don’t hesitate Ignoring the signs, we can’t stay away Bringing a plague on the human race Now there’s no way to be saved (to be saved, to be saved) Waking up within a dream To find a new reality Where everybody’s designed With artificial minds Welcome to the new decree No way to feel, no humanity Where everybody’s designed With artificial minds Throwing your arms up into the sky (Artificial) Losing your nerve and the will to survive Where is the resistance? Where is the resistance? Where is the resistance? Where is the resistance? I know you see that this reality is a lie What will it take? What will it take? Under the radar they’re deploying a genocide What will it take? What will it take? Waking up within a dream To find a new reality Where everybody’s designed With artificial minds Welcome to the new decree No way to feel, no humanity Where everybody’s designed With artificial minds

Enemy at the gates Enemy at the gates How can you stand the sight of yourself? When you’re leading all the blind to die Shifting the blame to someone else But the truth is slipping through your disguise We knew your deception was imminent We saw through the lies that would never end We screamed when nobody was listening The reckoning has come Standing by to watch the house of cards start falling down Enemy at the gates Won’t you let us in? We’re the ones who decide How this shit will end We can’t be bought, bullied, bargained, beat, or reasoned with So come to terms, ‘cause you’re not getting out of this We take it all, take it all To burn it down Watch you tumble from the top Who’s laughing now? Enemy at the gates Won’t you let us in? Won’t you let us in? Won’t you let us in? We are the ones who have paid the costs From greed-driven imbeciles and broken laws Now watch as the fallen start to rise up We’re coming for you And when the situation’s critical Will you dare to open your mouth? I know you’re wondering what went so wrong While you’re choking on your own crown This world is ours now Standing by to watch the house of cards start falling down Enemy at the gates Won’t you let us in? We’re the ones who decide How this shit will end We can’t be bought, bullied, bargained, beat, or reasoned with So come to terms, ‘cause you’re not getting out of this We take it all, take it all To burn it down Watch you tumble from the top Who’s laughing now? Enemy at the gates Won’t you let us in? Won’t you let us in? Won’t you let us in?

We’re here at the finale Where everyone’s pretending A lie has not been told Oh, we wanted so much to believe But we’re holding on to something That never was in stone We’re wasting all our lives away Bending knees to those who don’t know our name We’re running on empty We’re fighting for nothing Falling apart while we’re chasing the sky Don’t tell me we’re living We’re simply existing Feeding the fire that consumes us alive We’re chasing the sky Been waiting on the world to change But our future has been displaced Our dreams have all been sold We’re wasting all our lives away Bending knees to those who erased our names We’re running on empty We’re fighting for nothing Falling apart while we’re chasing the sky Don’t tell me we’re living We’re simply existing Feeding the fire that consumes us alive In a state of decay We’re all so diseased Victims of delusion Tear the veil away To see all the chains Shatter the illusion We try to see the meaning Reality’s deceiving The wolves are at the gates while we just sit here contemplating We suffocate, suffocate On smoke from the fire that we created We’re running on empty We’re fighting for nothing Falling apart while we’re chasing the sky Don’t tell me we’re living We’re simply existing Feeding the fire that consumes us alive We’re chasing the sky We’re chasing the sky

We’re one in the same, we can all feel pain We deny what we know because it hurts us so And the world is burning down tonight Cause nobody can be wrong or right In the end there is no compromise We lost it all Where do we stand? Here in a world that is dark and gray Filled with voices of pain we turned away Why aren’t we fighting for better days? Where do we stand? For all the times that we disagreed Went to war with our own humanity So come together to make a change Where do we stand? Deny all our faults until it kills us all Look at what we have done, the worst is yet to come And the world is burning down tonight Cause nobody can be wrong or right In the end there is no compromise We lost it all Where do we stand? Here in a world that is dark and gray Filled with voices of pain we turned away Why aren’t we fighting for better days? Where do we stand? For all the times that we disagreed Went to war with our own humanity So come together to make a change Where do we stand? United souls will carry on Pick up each other when we fall We change ourselves to change the world To change the world Where do we stand? Here in a world that is dark and gray Filled with voices of pain we turned away Why aren’t we fighting for better days? Where do we stand? Here in a world that is dark and gray Filled with voices of pain we turned away Why aren’t we fighting for better days? Where do we stand? For all the times that we disagreed Went to war with our own humanity So come together to make a change Where do we stand? And the world is burning down tonight Cause nobody can be wrong or right (Where do we stand?) In the end there is no compromise We lost it all Where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)
