The value of tradition
Means more in your mind
A cultural lie
The absence of virtue
Apathy and ignorance
Aid in self-destruction
“It’s a personal choice”
A choice that lets others agonize
You drink to numb your core
The damage you choose to ignore
A boiling point has been reached
Everything gone in a flash
Memories, line the sky
As you sleep alone tonight
Sacrificial example
Of man’s inherent gluttony
Feel like a man with a drink in your hand
Getting drunk isn’t fine
One more excuse, I’ll lose my mind
Irreversible damage
I’ve seen firsthand
Loved ones never the same
The cycle must end

So many have fallen away
The reason I have chosen to stay
Is nothing words can express
You try to grasp but you’ll never get it
circumstances out of reach
But this one I can keep
You’ll never know my reasons
That’s true to only me
This is for the ones
Past, future and present
All colors and creeds
Every nationality
Worldwide we are strong
Worldwide we carry on
When Armageddon rages on
Our weapon is these songs
Straight edge

Requesting respect
You don’t think you have to earn it
We have regret
That you put others through it
Perverting a passion
That you once claimed was sacred
We will make sure
You’re no longer related
Taking selfish means
To selfish ends
Your torch is extinguished
No more violent ends
Narcissistic statement
Irony is key
How far must we go
Until you finally see
Slither like a serpent through the masses
Preying on everyone no matter the crowd
You forgot what straight edge is about
Respect for others and respect for yourself
Using your fists or your words
Pounds on a heart made of stone
Weighed down by the world
Didn’t take long for your true colors to show
Your legacy has been clouded by dust
Your mark in our world has led to lust
Your lies to us
And your lies to everyone
Break our hearts
Look what you’ve done
Straight edge is about respect
For yourself and humankind
Perfection doesn’t exist
But for now, stay away

I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough
Your moral high ground
Won’t be justified
Outside
Of these 4 walls
Pick your poison
In the name of jest
Comedic relief
At my expense
I’ve come to make my mark on this world
My only goal is to leave it better than I found it
The key is a clear mind and a spirit that never dies
Straight edge for myself
Straight edge liberation
Straight edge proclamation
Straight edge proclamation
Straight edge proclamation
Straight edge proclamation
Straight edge proclamation
Straight edge proclamation
Straight edge proclamation
Breaking the chains, link by link
