Ruthless & Toothless Hardcore at its' most violent, bleak, and feral, Born to Land Hard is less an album than it is a force of nature. Strictly for the bravest and no one else. Favorite track: Cold As Life.

ivyarchway So glad this is finally available to properly support by owning it. I remember stumbling across this on YouTube years back and being blown away by how aggressive it is, especially once finding out the band's story. Favorite track: Born To Land Hard.

1.
a lot of us are born to land hard to end up in a prison yard deal with shit you can't comprehend and doing it since the age of ten seen it all at a very young age not seeing love we were taught to hate born to lose in drugs and booze because of you we walk in these shoes didn't care or see the shit we took now you care now you look now from us those left behind down from day one and always denied to you from us those left behind you motherfucker it's your time to you it's the life we chose to live but you the times had nothing to give the youth of today fuck your cliché you did it to us you're to blame
2.
search for a place to call my own a place to rest my broken hopes all my hate and shattered dreams all the sadness in between miracle of life or relief in death not much more but this last breath learned little from the world but hate for myself learned hate for the world I live in hell slow down this race I can't keep up my body hurts my face is cut tired of swimming this river of life somewhere this water's turned to ice as every day passed I chase it to see it was the day for us or a chance for me
3.
All Alone 04:30
your weekends turn to all week long as you look around not just your money's gone shootin’ that dope losing out on life heroin stands in your sunlight you're wishing you would have changed your ways but continued to play all of your junkie games given you my back without an ounce of trust again and again you dissed on our love since we were boys I've always said that I wouldn't end up like you my brother dead worn out your welcome one too many times breaking people's hearts and your place in mine knowing and wishing your time would come knowing your hell and where it came from now nobody's there no one to say goodnight no one around alone again tonight no brains and insane try to drown it out but inflict only more pain a life drain poisoned veins sucking all the blood from a heart that don't love love gone love lost got to get your fix get it at any cost lost cause done many wrongs too many to me for you to belong hell of a way everyday searching for the truth in whatever you say hell of a way everyday searching for your crack and a knife for my back hell of a way everyday searching for your fix strung out clenched fist hell of a way everyday done your dissing now you're dissed
4.
as the sun goes down and we wake up the streets start to fill with disrupt the sounds of guns police sirens the mothers of our world are praying the kid next door he was shot in cold blood ak-47 face in the mud the wars on tv blood on the screen I wish I could say it was all bad dreams where are we going can you tell me where it looks like a straight line to hell from here the world is dying the smell's in the air the drugs war and chaos it's just not fair the nation's on fire and dad's lost his job mommy's on valium seems everything's lost terrorists are tripping thirty two are dead it's all across the papers that we've read a kid's selling dope cause he can't afford to go to school found dead in an alley he was playing a fool
5.
this is a hold up don't anyone move I need some money I'm missing some screws I'll take what's yours your life is mine .44 ski mask and a .45 you're not going home not without a bag a greeting to you a .44 mag you mean nothing to me but you are my fix you pray to god right then I'm him violent man with violent plans your violent stance makes you a man violent man with a gun in your hands fuck you your manhood's a sham
6.
Terror Zone 04:07
faced with the terrors that lie ahead the sign says welcome but blind it's read you hesitate but it draws you in now you're trapped in the city for a life of sin what did I do you start to think your eyes roll back as your heart sinks in a dead stare your mind is blown away your worst fear and nightmares start today you've sold your soul for the needles of death your body hurts ‘cause there is none left beaten and engaging in surprise sex for two weeks straight so fucked up you can't even hate why was I born is the question you ask weak attitudes here they don't last no you scream I can't take anymore and now faced with reality like never before welcome to the terror zone best not come alone welcome to the terror zone stories just been told mother's not here to wipe your ass here life's slow but it goes so fast look in the mirror those tears in your eyes all your thoughts become hate and despise fantasies you want to live in your mind as you lay there dead no one even cries no one remembers you cause there's been so many urban terror there's no love in this city
7.
your bleeding heart's been ripped apart as far back as you remember asking why hurt and crying you're beat down buy a family member years go by still asking why you feel your hate grow years go by but now not crying now your hate explodes always hiding your welts and taking what's dealt now you're living what you learned and its murder in the first
8.
the sands of time they flitter away we choose to ignore them every day what waits for us on the other side or is there really an afterlife we lie we cry we die from disease time breaks we're broke but not down on our knees the lives we lead will be the death of us no one wants to hear it there's too much lust we've had a taste of what's to come deny all you want there's nowhere to run your life's just been blown away it's just going to have to end that way can't you see you the fate that's been planned there is no piper just pay the man the symphony of destruction has begun the atmosphere's gone and so is the sun ten till midnight all is hell no one hears you scream and yell
9.
Police 05:20
police all around me telling me to freeze down on my knees nightsticks bouncing off my head what'd I do I said as I bled get up but I couldn't move faced to the ground as the blood flew destroyed broken inside if no one was watching I would of died woke up in a concrete cell cops are laughing (ha) he fell in court lying through their teeth making up stories pointing fingers at me ridiculed punished with prejudice pleas ignored where's justice taken away to the county jail lost in a system that's down to fail no way out of this place do the time don't catch another case no wonder everybody hates you pry inside the mind of a man you'll soon be through who are you to break a man down out-number him five to one with guns in front of his wife and kids you take out your rage america's stunned what happened to the day you were here to serve and protect nothing but a punk ass licensed to bust heads
10.
you've looked me in the eyes and time and time again you'd lie your bullet riddled proof with holes so big I can see right through I'm not the one you're lying to and I'm not the one who's dying it's you can't be anything it's too late you killed your tomorrow for today's sake you brought it down yourself brought us up in it as well life's so hard take a look around you self-pitying bitch you brought you down
11.
Cold As Life 01:42
you come late at night and you're substanced up when are you going to realize when are you going to wake up everyone's got problems and everyone is fucked up why do you earn your money just to snort it up you're fucking cold as life your life's a mess your life is fucked up keep smoking that shit and death is when you'll stop don't push me away I am not the fight don't shut me out because you know I'm right I know you won't listen but I wrote this song to say you're my brother and I don't want to see you dead someday
12.
I've seen things that would stop you dead in your tracks you think it'd never end terror your eyes have never seen illusions of hell no it wasn't a dream so scared inside the paranoia sets in the fear I've felt, I just kept running I'm scared scared away from death no way not just yet scared to death and back field trip to hell no slips to sign and no one to tell sights I saw the depths I've been no fear for me there's nothing left sorry inside for life itself the places I've been it showed my hell fell to the ground face in my hands punished for years to roam this land first floor hell it's so sad floating in limbo scorned a crushed man
13.
Promise 03:02
you're twenty-three and dead that promise made will be kept our word is stern step up here you will learn we'll see you soon motherfucker we got plans for you and it ain't just that it's the business end of a baseball bat you ain't got away you just made it through another day and you ain't got a right to live took a boy from his brothers a dad from his kid a coward's way out punk with a gun took a life now you run you ain't got away we ain't far behind there was a promise made now it's your time bringing your hell brought it down around yourself revenge now mine not a question of if it's just time will feel no remorse holding bullets and pain for you they're yours searching far and wide even if you're caught we're on the inside this is your end on a promise we made to a friend but maybe you should live and feel the pain that you gave the pain that I'll give
