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

To make them feel all your pain

Transcended, feel the shift?
We brought you down with a flip of a switch

And we'll never forget
At the end of your wits

The Masquerade
03:41
|
|||
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
03:19
|

(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

Point of No Return
03:09
|
|||
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
03:19
|
|||
(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
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?

Chasing the Sky
03:26
|
|||
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

Where Do We Stand?
03:46
|
|||
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?)
