Sick inside 04:41
The sickest game we play The game that no one wins The game that has no rules Roll six and the game begins. First chop down all the trees Don't need 'em anyway. And never mind the beasts. If they minded, surely they would say! We can't live that way. Never give up, you never give up. Never give up, you never give up. You're sick inside. You're sick inside, yeah. Draw blood from mother Earth To motivate your cars. Defile the atmosphere Choking out the stars. Now trade in Human kind It's okay the Bible said. They're black so they don't mind. What the fuck is going through your head? We can't live that way. Never give up, you never give up. Never give up, you never give up. You're sick inside. And I'm sick inside of you. Now for the final twist, Since money rules the day, Invoke religious war. Make the innocent pay. And when we're all deceased, And the world has ceased to spin. Plant your flag and take a bow And claim your prize because you 'win'. And you can't live that way. Never give up, you never give up. Never give up, you never give up. You're sick inside. That's suicide. Sick.

Feel 03:00
Engage! Your quarry idles in to sight Oblivious unto its plight. Prisoner of hypnotise, Caught in evil web of lies. They hang on every word that you say. Your innocence don't wash with me. I don't believe a word that you say. So spare me... It's getting cold inside and I can't feel. A dark impassive side I can't reveal. The day you left, you died. It tore me open wide. Now there's nothing left inside and I can't feel. Destroy! Pouncing when they least expect. (Terminate the insect) Yeah, terminate the insect! Head and body torn in two. Nourishment empowers you. The sun thinks that it shines out of you. You turn the night into day. I can't believe a word that you spew. You're so lame... It's getting cold inside and I can't feel. A dark impassive side I can't reveal. The day you left, you died. It tore me open wide. Now there's nothing left inside and I can't feel. I'm cold. It's getting colder. I can't feel. Got a chip on my shoulder I can't conceal. The day you left, you died. It tore me open wide. Now there's nothing left inside and I can't feel.

I know you feel big but did you never think, That taking candy from a child is easy? But give the child a gun, yeah run bully run! Hypocrite, you make me fuckin' queazy. You'll see. When I grow up, Man, I'm gonna make you pay. You're gonna regret you laughed, When I'm President of the U.S.A. My Daddy told me "Boy, Someday all this is gonna be yours" A 51 piece bravado kit, For winning those avoidable wars. He said: "Everything is never enough", Nothing is ever enough. You never know how hard you fall till you hit the ground You wave an almighty hand and we all fall down. You never know how hard you fall till you hit the ground You wave an almighty hand and we all fall down. Cowboy is your name, supremacy the game, You want to save the world from the baddies. Parity your aim. Deity the same. With policies you borrowed from your Daddy. You'll see. When I grow up, Man, I'm gonna make you pay. You're gonna regret you laughed, When I'm President of the U.S.A. My Daddy told me "Boy, Someday all this is gonna be yours" A 51 piece bravado kit, For winning those avoidable wars. He said: "Everything is never enough", Nothing is ever enough. You never know how hard you fall till you hit the ground You wave an almighty hand and we all fall down. You never know how hard you fall till you hit the ground You wave an almighty hand and we all fall down. Well, nothing ever lasts. The lessons of the past, Are buried with the people who were there. Vive la furore. Contrive another war. Call yourself our saviour if you dare. You'll see. When I grow up, Man, I'm gonna make you pay. You're gonna regret you laughed, When I'm President of the U.S.A. My Daddy told me "Boy, Someday all this is gonna be yours" A 51 piece bravado kit, For winning those avoidable wars. He said: "Everything is never enough", Nothing is ever enough. You never know how hard you fall till you hit the ground You wave an almighty hand and we all fall down. You never know how hard you fall till you hit the ground You wave an almighty hand and we all fall down.

Taste 06:00
Lost are the words when the secret is told, Promise expires as the truth grows old, Buckle at the knees as you shoulder the blame, Betray the trust and you'll suffer the same. Trust me....I can feel the pain within you. I've watched you lose control. I'm the cure that hails you my friend. Liquid fix for heart and soul. Wrestle the faults of your fellow man, Trust under stress as you seal the can, Falter with control slipping through your grip. Drown as the rats flee the sinking ship. Taste me....I can heal the pain within you. I can help you gain control. I will cure what ails you my friend. Liquid fix for heart and soul. Trust me... Taste me... Curse me... Kill me... Lost and exposed in the desert, alone. Out on a limb now the nest eggs have flown. Searching, seeking shade but you cannot hide, Cursing, at the hatred that builds (builds, builds, builds, builds) inside. Curse me....Now I cause the pain within you. Watch me take control I will ail what cures you my friend. Liquid fix for heart and soul. I'm the cure that failed you my friend. I'm no cure at all. Curse my name you loser. I bet you never felt so small.

about

Our first studio recording; a four track EP recorded at Fortress Studios in Amstelveen, the Netherlands, late 2003. A little too grand for a demo and a little too limited by time and budget constraints, this kicked around as a promo/merchandise offering for years and was known as 'The Demo'.
Now formally retro-released worldwide in digital format, it goes by the name 'Lockdown EP'.
Raw and real, warts and all, this is a very honest representation of a fledgling Lockdown.
