A thousand years from now
What will be left of this?
These man made lies and corruption, they cease to exist
Somebody lied about a free fucking nation

Its time to make a list, of the ones who dont deserve
The crowns they wear, and the thrones they sit upon
You dont look down on me, Im looking down on you
Theres just no room for pussies in a place like this
Youre washed up and far from the truth
Youre just so fucking mean arent you?
So tough that your pride is gauged
And so scene that your act is overplayed
Stand proud, but not too fucking proud
why cant I hear you when I hear myself loud?
You've got a lot of nerve to stand there and say
That your opinions are the only true way
Get off the stage, no ones on your page
This is the way the sermon was meant to sound
SET IT OFF
Ill be sure your mother gets a card
Telling her how you thought you were hard
So take yourself to somewhere safe
These bullets wont stop for a pretty face
Quit using family and friends as a trend
You are not who you say you are
I have had my fill of this
Its time to call you out on all of your bullshit
Im calling you out on, all of the ripping off youve done
Go back to where you came from

YOU AREN'T SHIT
Yep, you heard me
You're just another mouth that I will have to force shut
What are you gonna do? Nothing.
Strikes one and two for you were starting shit, not we're ending it
Strikes one and two for you were starting shit
Now we will do our part by ending it
Watching your back will be a hobby for you
This is your 15 seconds of fame, I hope you like it
Now its
BACK TO THE GUTTER WITH YOU
Listen up! Am I getting through to you?
Do you know the damage that we can do?
You aren't ready for this
Look at the grave that you're digging
You've got a complex, a lack of respect
Its time to see if your face is as tough as your keyboard is
Look at the life you are leading.
Ignorance at its finest.
What are you gonna do? Nothing.
Wait for it...
Open up your mouth, and Ill close it for you
You're a bitch with no spine in your back, your ran your mouth to
You ran your mouth to the wrong fucking people
And now its time to see if your face is as tough as your keyboard is

This is no fucking joke
this is as real as it gets
you took what wasnt yours
and now you pay the debt
your actions will become a hazard
to your health so fall back and find yourself wanted
you are out of time
and I am out of fucking patience for your kind
if innocence is gold
Then you have got to be the poorest man I know
out of time
we'll put your body in the ground
where it will never be found
this case was closed until you opened it
its obvious to us who the culprit is
we know who the culprit is
and what goes up will be dragged back down
by its own weight
so run and hide with the fear in your head
we are the lump in your throat
we're that feeling you get
when you think someone is watching you
crawl back to the hole from which you came
you arent worthy of my presence anymore
now you'll truly understand the meaning of karma
never worked a day in your life for something thats yours,
go behind our back and take something of ours
no greater disrespect
no greater unpaid debt, this is where you end
I will never stop
this is the difference between a promise and a threat

Here I stand with the world on my shoulders
With this weight I will keep pushing forward
Its simple
Move aside those who stand in my path
Mark my words when I say to you
We are the threat from the heartland
Nothing will ever change it
We are the threat
We are a new breath for a dying scene
We are the sound of resilience
The words I speak are met with no resistance
And we are the threat
We are the only threat left in existence
And you will remember me
If your up to the challenge, stand and say so
My words alone
My words can bring this place down on top of all of us
and you will remember me
You will remember my name
We are the threat from the heartland
We are the threat to the industry
Now, ive figured this out for myself
Ive finally realized what it takes to be
Everything ive wanted to be
Here I stand with the world on my shoulders
With this weight I will keep pushing forward
Its simple

So it all starts out
Deceiving lucid dreams
Distorted image of myself and who Im meant to be
A steady incline of violence to reach the top
Im drowning now
No time to rewind, this moment is ours
The past is present now
Envision a world
No freedom, no rights, no God
Im still the source of chaos
Envision a world
No freedom, no rights, no God
Im still the source of chaos
This brings forth the darkest of me
In every breath we find a new lust for life
A brand new day, a brand new meaning, and a brand new path
The darker days come unexpected
Happiness comes and leaves rejected
I am a mountain unmoved by force
So it all starts out
I fought too long for this
And when I started this I said Id never quit
And to look at whats become of this
Id say my dream is exactly where I live
I had it all along
Putting my life on the line, and in every song
And to look at whats become of this
Id say my dream is exactly where I live
Take a look at where you are, Where you've been, and where youre going
You only have one life
Achievement sustained through believing in myself
Tighten the grasp on what is dear to you
We are at the top of the bottom
We are a band of brothers standing resilient

"Seriously angry and disturbed individuals"
You, youre gonna "Pray for" us?
Cause we do what no one does, we step up when somebody is fucking with us
Im screamin', come down off your pedestal coward.
Talk behind a mask and live behind a screen
Im here to say exactly what I mean
Exactly what I mean
If you push you'll get pushed back, dont act like he attacked
I speak on behalf of everyone when I say
That youre worth nothing more than mentioning in a song
You are a little man so you talk a big game to compensate for what you dont have
And you owe it to yourself for looking foolish
City kid better grow a pair, its not hard to tell that you were fucking scared
Your friends did nothing to help you when The Maniac hit you
City kid better grow a pair, its not hard to tell that you were fucking scared
Your friends did nothing to help you
Standing around cause The Maniac hit you
DISRESPECT IN THE WORDS YOU SPOKE
YOUR ROLE IN THIS GAME IS A FUCKING JOKE
Im screamin'
Disrespect
Disrespected
