1995 Things escalated the most for the band during this year. Destroy the Machines was released, becoming Victory Records' best-selling title. The band completed two tours of Europe and two in the states. Media outlets of all kinds took notice of what the band and their movement is all about. In addition to well-known music publications, outlets such as the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, CBS, CNN, TBS and more reported on Earth Crisis and the growing straight-edge movement within the hard music scene, finding "traditional values in untraditional places." However, their biggest year as a band came to a horrifying close when their van went off a cliff in Washington during a severe storm. Destroy The Machine :

FORCED MARCH…..

Humanity devours itself alive. 
Forced march down this path of sorrow to an end that doesn’t justify.
Hands chained running driven upon those that fall. 
They tread conditioned by a warped value system to not look back just push ahead.
Lives of excess lust and material greed, a slave to their own desires, apathetic to those in need.
Devoid of love, no peace inside. Blinded by their manic greed.
Thoughts consume with the thoughts of the worthless-this is their reality.
Minds filled with turmoil, nothing pacifies.
I have to free myself from all this madness, in my struggle to survive.
As time progresses, time reveals the answers.
At last I break through the surface and come to life.
Mind filled with turmoil, nothing pacifies.

BORN FROM PAIN…..

Strength. Born from pain. Beyond that of my flesh.
Betrayed. Robbed and beaten but not defeated. Through my search for allies, I’ve found myself.
Persistence is the answer to regain all that was taken.
Hatred drives onward across the desolation of dying dreams and failure.
To find I am my own salvation from the experience of  injustice.
From the horror that I have witnessed comes the knowledge that freedom must be won.
Strangled by frustration no longer will I be my victim.
My patience is warning-now all it takes is one spark to set me off.
I’ve got to try to find some peace and hold that peace inside before it gets too late.
Emancipate my mind, breathing life into my visions forcing them to reality.
From paradise into the inferno…into paradise…into paradise.

DESTROY THE MACHINES…..
Destroy the machines that kill the forests-that disfigure the Earth.
Ecotage when efforts to reason fail and no longer have worth.
Direct Action-the only choice when wild lands faced with destruction.
Now is the time for counter-aggression.
With everyday that passes the assault on nature accelerates.
For the industrial nation’s excessive ways-this world may devastate.
Every biome on every continent is under man’s attack.
With everything to lose we’ve drawn the line to hold them back.
New bridges, roads and dams pave their way to develop what  wilderness remains.
All must be prevented or destroyed for the wild lands to sustain.
Fighting to save the animals-their freedom is our peace.
For their habitats preservation, for the violence against them to cease.
Earth liberation through ecodefence.
To halt the insanity of the yellow death machines advance.

NEW ETHIC…..
This is the new ethic.
Animals lives are their own and must be given respect.
Reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy of mankind over 
the animals.
It’s time to set them free.
Their lives reduced to biomachines. In the factory farm and laboratory.
Dairy, eggs and meat - fur, suede, wool and leather are the end products of torture, confinement 
and murder.
I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.
Wildlife’s right to live in peace in their natural environment without this civilisations interference
can no longer be denied-must no longer be denied.
To make civilisation worthy of the word civilised the cruelty must end.
Starting within our own lives reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive 
hierarchy of mankind over the animals.
It’s time to set them free.
The animals are not ours to abuse or dominate.
I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.

THE DISCIPLINE…..
Straightedge - the discipline.
The key to self-liberation is abstinence from the destructive escapism of intoxication.
I separate from the poison - a mindlessness I’ve always abhorred.
Usage will only increase the pain - a truth I constantly  see ignored.
The pollutants that kill the body breed apathy within the mind.
The substance that once brought release in the end will always confine.
From drug clouded lungs and veins motivation dissipates.
Imprisoned within addiction abuse increases until death overtakes.
Enslaved by concupiscence promiscuity leads to dispear.
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 survived - I’ve got to stay free.
Damage everywhere - infection at every turn.
Through my refusal to partake I’ve saved myself.
Abstinence was the beginning.
What’s important is what’s done with the freedom step by step I’ve overcome.
Alone I climb the staircase to edification.

DELIVERANCE
From birth an abstinence of glory 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 concealed and tortured victims vivisection.
Nothing of value can be gained for science and medicine when the price is a helpless animal life.
An animal becomes a subject - their pain a mere reaction.
Harmless testing alternatives ignored - they refuse to end their profit system.
The sufferings benefits mankind the excuse of demented scientists-
Whose brutalization of the innocent denigrates  humanity’s existence.
When education and peaceful protests can’t bring their liberation-
The strategy for their rescue changes to militant intervention.
Every action has an impact - every life saved is a victory.
The truth known by the caring few who wage guerrilla warface to end this atrocity.
Severed locks, doors wrenched from hinges - the animal deliverance from torment and captivity.
Vivisectionists dragged into the streets and shoot as flames engulf the laboratory.
Justice hammer falls again and again until it ends when the price is an helpless animal life.

INHERIT THE WASTELAND
Destroyed in the hands of the deranged.
Mankind’s will be imposed upon the Earth as thought we were alone and if our actions had no 
consequences.
Man crushes all that bars the way on this path to annihilation.
Taking for themselves while the other inhabitants lives are given no consideration.
Inherit the wasteland, spilled oil contaminates the sea.
Inherit the wasteland, poisons fill the atmosphere.
Inherit the wasteland, toxins infect the ground.
Inherit the wasteland, deforestation scars the Earth.
The rainforests burn. Countless animals die.
We must regain control or there will be nothing left.
To save the harmony of nature, twisted into discordance.
Left to die in the aftermath of their destructive sightlessness.
Time is running, time is running, time is running…
Time is running out..!!!

ASPHYXIATE…..
Dependence consumes, controlled and distracted, by a self-inflicted illness.
With every breath of the poison the habit intensifies and the attempt to stop weakens.
Filth smoulders in ashtray as you draw the vileness into your lungs.
Killing yourself, subjecting others to the air that your smoke defiles.
Cashing in on a cash crop, cashing in on your death for their financial gain.
They create then feed a carcinogenic addiction that leads to self-destruction.
Cancer ravages the throat and lungs, a diseased heart fails.
The pain was avoidable and yet this insanity is accepted as normal.
The first genuine moments of remorse maybe the last seconds of life.
Coughing up blood, gasping for breath - each one was a nail in your coffin -
Inhale. Asphyxiate.

THE WRATH OF SANITY…..
Night of justice, knight of justice. Liberation crusades begun.
Your laws will have no meaning past the setting of the sun.
Demons feeding off of the innocent’s pain.
Generations of oppresion, one generation will break this chains.
Emancipation from the hands of the deranged.
Vengence for the dead, freedom for the enslaved.
From love comes this hatred.
Feel the rage, antagonist of the helpless.
Tormented inside a cage.
I refuse to turn my back, I refuse to shut my eyes.
Steadfast against the deluge of evil of man’s devise.
The quest for their freedom won’t cease until it’s won.
Reconcile your sins or your blood will have to run.
You have no respect for life, violence you can understand.
Turn to feel the pain.Retribution from my hand.!
(X2)
A bullet for every demon.
Only your blood can cleanse you of your sins.
Your actions proved that you value profit over other’s lives.
Image of your mutilated victims - as I line you in my sight.
The wrath of sanity unleasehed - justice on Judgement Night.

FOTRESS.....
Encircled. Sodoms children on every side.
Feeding their selfishness with no regard for the pain that their actions bring.
Forked tongues spill promisesof release though submission to carnal thoughts.
Their greed of a drug induced deadened state.
Pain await fools who fall prey to the lies.
Time melts their false idols into pools of worthless lead.
Exhume myself from the wreakage to drag my body free.
Crawling through the ashes of their profane creation collapses in upon itself.
Unscathed I have not partaken.
The X symbolises the lifetime commitment to live free from their poisons.
I’ve built myself to last.
FOTRESS..
Time melts their false idols into pools of worthless lead.
Encircled. Sodoms children on every side.
Feeding their selfishness with no regard for the pain that their actions bring.
