The Discipline Lyrics - Earth Crisis

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.
