[Verse 1]

Hate against hate

'Cause this world is a test

Use us all up

Until nothing is left

Hate against hate

Until memory subsides

There's no reason to trust

When we're living to die


[Chorus]

Is this really all we have:

Perversions of our truth?

When it falls, I'll be so glad

To levy the excuse


[Post-Chorus]

Get up, just get up (Hate)

Step up, just step up (Hate)

Shut up, just shut up

Me against you

Against us, against hate

(Hate, hate, hate, hate)


[Verse 2]

Hate against hate

'Cause this world is a joke

Laugh it all off

In denial of ghosts

Hate against hate

It screams "eye for an eye"

No illusions of peace

Or pipe dreams for the blind


[Chorus]

Is this really all we have:

Perversions of our truth?

When it falls, I'll be so glad

To levy the excuse


[Post-Chorus]

(Hate against hate)


[Bridge]

"Temptation," "frustration"

Words born to relive the pain and

Believing it ain't easy

My hatred, it saves me

Hate against hate

Until memory subsides

There's no reason to trust

When we're living to die

(Hate...)


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Is this really all we have:

Perversions of our truth?

When it falls, I'll be so glad

To levy the excuse


[Outro]

Get up, just get up (Hate)

Step up, just step up (Hate)

Shut up, just shut up

Me against you

Against us, against

(Hate, hate, hate)
