You began this war I'm here to end it Rise against me You will fall You began this war I'm here to end it Rise against me You will fall I lay me down to sleep My soul I war to keep Angels fight around my bed You don't know what's in my head I lay you down to sleep Kiss of death upon your cheek Buried in your lies No longer my demise Goodnight Goodbye Heartache and past This is your lullaby Break me Bleed me I'm still standing Your judgment won't defeat me Shredded alive Your judgments like knives Those lying lips Razors to my wrists The war is over I'll rise above it The war is over I'll rise above I broke these chains And now I'm free I broke my chains And now I'm free I burned it all down And rose above the flame Forged in the fire I found new strength In who I am This is my last goodbye Goodnight Goodbye Heartache and past Your judgment won't defeat me Break me Bleed me I'm still standing Your judgment won't defeat me I burned it all down And rose above the ashes I close my eyes now Lay my past to rest

BEST OF ME 03:33
I'm not so innocent I claim to be I got problems yeah I'm not so clean I've been hurt I've been bunt Along the way But I've learned to survive I can work on it Pray on it It never works I keep running back to it It hurts my soul I can work on it It never works I keep running back to it I've lost all control Set me free Let me be I swear you'll see The truth come out Yet I wouldn't be around If it got the best of me So I'll try again Try again I can work on it Pray on it It never works I keep running back to it It hurts my soul I can work on it It never works I keep running back to it I've lost all control Set me free Me vs. me When will I see The clear way out I keep spiraling down And I lose the Best of Me But I'll try again Try again Set me free Let me be I swear you'll see The truth come out Yet I wouldn't be around if it got the best of me But I'll try again Try again Set me free Me vs. me When will I see The clear way out I keep spiraling down and I lose the best of me But I'll try again Try again I'm not okay Please take it away I left you betrayed I keep running away From the anguish Left unsaid What's left of me Is already dead I'm not okay Please take it away I left you betrayed I keep running away From the anguish Left unsaid What's left of me Is already dead I'm not okay Please take it away I left you betrayed I keep running away From the anguish Left unsaid What's left of me Is so fucking dead

R.A.T. 01:55
We are the phoenix Born of the flame We've been though hell We still remain They can't silence The voice of the ones Who have overcome We will burn on Ignite Light the darkness That surrounds you Burn on Never fade away Ignite Strength is burning Inside of you Burn on Never fade away Feel the spark within We've climbed from the bottom Drowning in shadow Slaves to the past and expectation We've inherited the throne of empty promises And self-destruction Righteous are thieves Oh righteous are thieves Lets steal this streets from war machines Dividing us with hate It's time to stand together And burn on This mosh pit Is ours tonight This microphone Will be our light There's too much pressure To not ignite So burn bright Burn bright This microphone Will be our light So burn bright Burn it bright There's too much pressure To not ignite So burn bright Burn it bright

Show me what you got What you think you got I scream into the mouth of madness Show me what you got What the hell you got I stare into the eyes of darkness The abyss of despair won't take me again I won't fall for your sacred oblivion I will fight my self-destruction Everybody falls You gotta get up Everybody dies You gotta live life Everybody fails Never give up If the mountain seems too tall Tear it down, down, down Trying to control your life Weighs you down, down, down With my back against the ropes I'll keep swinging Keep believing I'm knocked down I get back up Knocked down I get back up When my knuckles Are bloody and broken I keep swinging Keep believing I'm knocked down I get back up Knocked down I get back up I feel the demons around me Hell has come to claim its prize Is there anything left of me My life drained too many times I feel the strength within to fight They won't take my light tonight Tempting me with sacred oblivion I will face them one by one Everybody falls You gotta get up Everybody dies You gotta live life Everybody fails Never give up Show me what you got What you think you got Show me what you got What the hell you got Knuckles are bloody and broken Show me what you got What you think you got I'll keep swinging Keep believing Show me what you got What the hell you got

about

The idea of the "D.I.Y. OR DIE" album was inspired by the days of old; when bands would work hard to release their own self produced/recorded demo tapes or CDs, and would use word of mouth at shows to gain local support, without spending thousands of dollars to have a studio make the band sound slick and produced. With this release you have pure Street Thieves.
