The Discipline Lyrics

The Discipline

Straight edge - the discipline. 

 The key to selfliberation is abstinence from the destructive escapism of

 intoxication. I separate from the poison - a mindlessness 

 I've always abhored. Usage will only increase the pain, a truth I

 constantly see ignored. The pollutants that kill the body breed 

 apathy within the mind. The substances that once brought

 release in the end will always confine. 

 From drug-clouded lungs and veins motviation dissipates. 

 Imprisoned within addiction,

 abuse increases until death overtakes. 

 Enslaved by concupiscence, promiscuity leads to despair. 

 Victims used and abandoned by

 liars who professed to care. Self-exiled from their insanity. 

 Striving to attain higher levels of purity. The beauty in life

 is mine to know. Amidst the ruin I survive. I've got to stay free. 

 Damage everywhere - infections at every turn. Through my

 refusal to partake I saved myself. Abstinence was the beginning. 

 What's important is what's done with the freedom step by

 step I overcome. Alone I climb the staircase to edification.

 Deliverance- From birth an existence of agony begins that ends

 with execution. Intentionally infected with diseases 

 to then try to find cures for humans. Fractured skulls, broken bones,

 scalded flesh and blinded eyes. 

 For medical research and cosmetic testing animals suffer and die. 

 Walls conceal the tortured

 victims of vivisection. Nothing of value can be gained 

 for science or medicine when the price is a helpless animal's life.

 An animal becomes a subject - their pain a mere reaction. 

 Harmless testing alternatives ignored - they refuse to end their

 profit system. The suffering benefits mankind - the excuse 

 for demented scientists whose brutalization of the innocent

 denegrates humanity's existance. When education 

 and peaceful protest can't bring their liberation the strategy for their

 rescue changes into militant intervention. 

 Every action has an impact. Every life saved is a victory. 

 The truth known by the

 caring few who wage guerilla warfare to end this atrocity. 

 Severed locks, doors wrenched from hinges, the animals deliverance

 from torment and captivity. Vivisectionists dragged 

 into the street and shot as flames engulf the laboratory. Justice's

 hammer falls again and again until it ends 

 when the price is a helpless animal's life.
