Cry Out
Carmine Rebellion
We're not safe on the streets It's safe not safe in the night Open your eyes And prepare for the fight Look around and see the distress These are things we should all protest Silence makes you complicit Make your anger explicit Cry out and make your voice heard Cry out don't be deterred I know you've got things to say And you can be the change You can be the change Cry out Cry out for justice You're not safe in your home You don't know where to turn Is there any escape? Any sign of concern Deep inside you already know It's time to fight the status quo It won't change if we hide in fear Make a noise that they have to hear Cry out and make your voice heard Cry out don't be deterred I know you've got things to say And you can be the change You can be the change Cry out Cry out for justice You shouldn't have to be scared You shouldn't have to take the blame You have another choice Stand up and use your voice Cry out angry and loud Cry out stand and be proud Don't let them put you down Don't go without a sound Don't go without a sound Cry out and make your voice heard Cry out don't be deterred I know you've got things to say And you can be the change You can be the change Cry out Cry out for justice

Proclamation
Carmine Rebellion
Your defences are failing You're in disrepute You circled the wagons and shot yourself in the foot You're failing and floundering Looking for rescue It's not paranoia if they are out to get you The plaudits and the admiration Of idiots across the nation Gullibly giving adulation To the object of their veneration Seem your only preoccupation You show no hesitation In exploiting exaltation With a self-serving commendation proclamation The vultures are gathering over your heard They know that you're weak and soon, when you're dead They will descend to pick at your bones Then rise again as a misery of clones Facing mounting accusations Never-ending recriminations Trapped in your own legislation You make an empty proclamation Face it with false indignation Venting all your false frustrations The problem's of your own creation You can't escape this castigation proclamation Public service and abnegation Aren't in your dispensation We all know your reputation For dishonesty and obfuscation Hiding from the castigation Still denying your damnation Here it comes - a false salvation Granting yourself liberation Absolve yourself with a vindication proclamation

Warmonger
Carmine Rebellion
Warmonger, wrapped up in your schemes You have no honour Warmonger, we watched with disbelief As you marched onwards Nobody will believe your lies There's no way you can justify your actions You've left yourself with no excuse You'll get your dues When they come for you Warmonger, your crimes are clear to all There must be justice Warmonger the world is appalled This is monstrous What drove you to commit this crime? What madness led you to design this evil deed? Your black crusade will stain your soul You've lost control Soon you'll pay the toll Warmonger, your legacy is hate No one will miss you Warmonger, prepare to meet your fate You've lit the fuse Nobody will believe your lies There's no way you can justify your actions You've left yourself with no excuse You stand accused We know it's all true

Burn Out
Carmine Rebellion
I work all day I never rest Can't drain the energy inside me No time for play No time for friends Nobody can keep up beside me I won't waste my time Won't waste my time My food is fuel No time to taste I just need it burning inside me I exercise But I never rest I'm driven by goals that misguide me I won't waste my time It's all that I have I'll maximise every breath I keep my wheels in constant motion Round and round Like a shark I never will stop moving Til I burn out I never stop I'm never bored I know that I'm not getting younger I'll steal the night To stretch the day I know I can always work harder I won't waste my time I'll sleep when I'm dead I won't let time slip away I keep my wheels in constant motion Round and round Like a shark I never will stop moving Til I burn out

How Am I To Blame
Carmine Rebellion
Please don't let me down again, you said But every time before it was only in your head I know I never failed you, the fault was never mine But if you can't see it wasn't me Then I will be leaving you this time Please don't drag me down again, my dear Don't try to bury me underneath your fears That burden is yours alone, and I don't want to share So take the weight and all the hate Because I no longer really care Did I really hurt you? Did I really bring you down? If I threw the game the way you claim That would be a shame Did I really fail you? Did I really let you down? Did I cause your pain? Please explain How am I to blame? Please don't put me down again, my dear Don't try to bring me low like I'm the one at fault here Don't lash out at me in pain, or vent your frustrations I'm not ready to bleed to fulfil your need I don't want your recrimination Please don't let me go again, you said All your admonitions are still ringing round my head But I've already turned away and I'm not turning back If you can't see that you've lost me I'll still weather this vicious attack

Dreamcatcher
Carmine Rebellion
Give your all Risk the fall One day you'll catch your dream You feel like your world is constraining You feel you're trapped between these walls Look outside - the whole world wide Waiting for you to make your mark Don't be content within these walls You gotta break out; shake out Before you burn out; wash out and then Break free; Strike out on your own Give your all Risk the fall One day you'll catch your dream See it through Don't let go Reach out and catch your dream The ticking clock counts down your life Time slips away, forever lost Time to choose Win or lose? Will you give up? Will you fight? Don't watch the clock count down your life You gotta fight it; escape it Gotta move it and prove it and Believe it; achieve it for yourself Give your all Risk the fall One day you'll catch your dream See it through Don't let go Reach out and catch your dream Set some goals Take control Fight 'til you catch your dream Give all you've got Never stop Reach out and catch your dream You gotta want it; chase it Gotta claim it to attain it Gotta make it; take it for yourself Give your all Risk the fall One day you'll catch your dream See it through Don't let go Reach out and catch your dream Set some goals Take control Fight 'til you catch your dream Give all you've got Never stop Reach out and catch your dream Give your all Risk the fall One day you'll catch your dream See it through Don't let go Reach out and catch your dream
