Imperium
MTV2 Headbangers Ball Vol. 2 Disc 1/Machine Head Lyrics

Hear me now
Listen to me, pay attention to what I’m saying

Bearing down upon a path we choose
We’re moving forward on the path we’ve chosen

Chosen from the start living different rules
We’ve always been different, and we’re living by our own rules

Existence something to cherish true
Life is something to treasure and hold dear

Will not succumb to doubts that I hold onto
I won’t let my doubts control me

Release the fear of my pain
Let go of the fear that comes with pain

In so much pain
I’m feeling a lot of pain

Give me the will to fight
Give me the strength to fight through the pain

Every obstacle that I have inside
I need to face every obstacle I’m dealing with internally

Release the fear and
Let go of the fear and move forward

Words I vow
I promise

No fucking regrets
I won’t regret anything

Fuck these chains
I won’t be held back by anything or anyone

No god damn slave
I won’t be anyone’s slave

I will be different
I will stand out and be unique

I'll stand here defiantly
I’ll stand my ground and be defiant

My middle finger raised
I’m giving the middle finger to anyone who doubts me

Fuck your prejudice
I won’t listen to anyone who has prejudiced views

All my life
My entire life

Always I've felt alone
I’ve always felt like I was alone

Conditioned to believe that I'm always wrong
I’ve been conditioned to think that I’m always wrong

Only truth will help to set me free
I can only be free if I accept the truth

My every weakness I must turn into strength
I need to turn my weaknesses into strengths

Every rage, every tear
Every time I get angry or cry

Hate in so much hate
I’m feeling a lot of hate

Never that pain will bind me
The pain won’t hold me back

Ask of myself if I've the will to unwind
I need to question whether I have the strength to move forward

Carved upon my stone
Etched into my being

I will go on
I’ll keep moving forward

Patience, belief
I need to be patient and have faith

Love will ascend
Love will conquer all

Just listen to it
Listen to your inner voice

Voice so true inside calling
The voice inside of you that’s calling out is true

To pick you up and march you on
It will lift you up and help you move forward

Keep from falling
Prevent you from falling

Let go your sorrow
Let go of your sadness

Sun will shine, this I promise
I promise that things will get better

Rising tomorrow
Things will improve tomorrow

I'm taking back the control
I’m taking control of my life

Of my

Life from societies hold
I won’t let society control me

No more will I be a slave
I won’t be anyone’s slave

Rise to
I’m rising up to

Challenge the whole human race
Take on and challenge everyone in the human race

My spirit you cannot break
You can’t break my spirit

When we won't lose!
We won’t give up or lose
