Our Wounds
04:21
|
|||
I can only hope that one day you´ll be at the mercy of a war
You´ll fear for the lives of your daughters and sons
Your home burned to the ground
Forced from your life
Forced from your land
Helpless, hopeless
Our shame is deep and our wounds are open
We owe it to the world
We owe the world some of our blood
Do we hurt too deep?
Can we forget the scars
Can we forgive ourselves?
These old wounds have left us
bewildered and ashamed
I truly hope that you will suffer
Nothing last forever
The world will change
We will feel the fear that they´ve felt
I truly hope that you will suffer
As they have suffered
And one day they will hold your life in their hands
Oh! I would not be merciful
Do we hurt too deep?
Can we forget the scars
Can we forgive ourselves?
These old wounds have left us
bewildered and ashamed
Distorted perspectives, distorted hate
Fractured views of the lost
It´s ripping us apart
Our shame is deep and our wounds are open
We owe it to the world to set things right
We owe the world some of our blood

Death & Defiance
04:39
|
|||
How did we come to this?
We´re rats lost in a mace
We must break the walls of the illusion
The patterns we see
Natures cruellest mistake
The genetic inclination to delusion
We´ll stand here screaming forever
Defy the disease
Defy the lies
The world is dying in fire
The search for truth has become a thirst for power
The world will bleed until its final hour
Throughout all ages
They´ve been there
With their promises of absolution
Better be blinded or face persecution
Obey their indoctrination
Until death takes us all we´ll defy each god
Defy the disease
Defy the lies
The world is dying in fire
The search for truth has become a thirst for power
The world will bleed until its final hour
We´ll stand here screaming forever
Defy their heaven
Defy their hell
The only damnation is the hell that they´ve made
Defy their truths
Defy their absolute beliefs
They´ve built a throne of blood of their creed
Our defiance must be immortal
To end this endless evil

She Will
05:23
|
|||
She will heal the numbness
She will heal the blindness
Finally unbroken
Suddenly she stood there smiling at your side
And all you can do is to wonder why
For nothing has ever touched your world
Nothing has ever broken through
But she has dared to pierce your heart
And you are crushed as her eyes pierces you
When you cannot feel, when you cannot see
She´ll touch, she´ll speak, she will give back all that you´ve lost
She´ll pull you out of the darkness
The dark paths are enlightened
From empty windows and grey skies to the warmth of her smile
When the burden grows
When the weight of the world tears you apart
When you fear the fall, the end of it all
She´ll give back the life to that stone you call a heart
If ever, if ever
She would be gone
A shallow, callow soul is all that would remain
Torn apart
You´d be torn apart
A shattered soul, a shattered heart
Torn apart
She´ll pull you out of the darkness
The dark paths are enlightened
From empty windows and grey skies to the warmth of her smile
When the burden grows
When the weight of the world tears you apart
When you fear the fall, the end of it all
She´ll give back the life to that stone you call a heart

Someone´s Laughing
04:02
|
|||
Somewhere, someone´s laughing
The curse within us all grows deeper
Families without homes
The sick without help
The greed in us all
Can this madness ever end
Mothers without hope
The money´s in control
We throw our lives to the wheel
But only a chosen few can win
Someone´s laughing
The curse within us all grows deeper
Can we really go on this way?
Open your eyes
We are being mislead
Open your eyes
But there is hope, there is an end
We can eradicate the poverty, the pain
A peace on earth we can initiate
A true life obtain
We must let it go
Overthrow this system of monetary control
Can we really go on this way?
Open your eyes
We are being mislead
Open your eyes
As long as we let them rule our lives we´ll be dying
Somewhere, someone´s laughing
The curse within us all, it´s fading, it´s dying
A world with no war, no poverty, no pain
No money to fuck with our minds
The greed will die
Can we really go on this way?
Open your eyes
We are being mislead
Open your eyes
There is a hope, open your eyes
There is an end, just open your eyes

No More Time
04:38
|
|||
I see the world dying in fire
I see children burning
Chaos and fear turning to violence
In my mind the earth is breaking
Cannot bare it, cannot stand to see
this selfdestruction
Our lives, this grim infection
The end grows clearer
No more time
We fall
No more time
To stop the fall
No more compromises
Cannot let them keep on tearing
our world into pieces
The lines have been drawn
The lines have been crossed
I see the world burning
And there is nothing I can do
I hear futile prayers
I see screaming crowds
All fighting for their god
All dying for their dream
This nightmare will never end
As long as we feed on fear
This nightmare will never end
unless we start to care
No more time...
Will you join the maddening crowds?
Or will you try to change our future?
Will you succumb to the fear?
Or will you fight the nightmare?
Will you raise your voice?
Will you raise your fists?
No more time...
Don´t you?
Don´t you see it?
Don´t you feel it?
No more time
Don´t you see it?
Don´t you feel it?
No more time
You will feel it
You will see it
The end is closer now

Ah! They are the abyss
We must be the light
We stand here
We are the scream
On the edge of darkness
Oh! They are the fear we swallow each day
Each day we take one step closer to the end
We stand here and they are coming closer
They try to destroy us
All that we have fought for
They are made of hate
They are the poison
They use our weapon
To propagate their hate
Infesting our lives with lies and lies
When we stop giving, we stop living
We stand here and they are coming closer
They try to destroy us…
They try to divide our world
Impersonating false hopes
Working in the shadows
Nothing but cowards
Never give them an inch, never let them take our humanity
They try to destroy us
All that we have fought for
They are made of hate
They use our weapon
To propagate their hate
They are the poison

Soulless
03:47
|
|||
Lies, so many lies
Their shallow smiles are ripe with disdain
They twist and turn to rid themselves of the blame
They lie and lie and lie to rid themselves of our hate
Enough
The thieves have taken all too much
From their dark holes we smell their rot
When do you stop caring?
How many digits does it take?
When does the greed overcome you?
All we feel for you is unbridled hate
How do you become so soulless?
How can you walk around with that greed in your heart?
How can you not see your malice?
How can you not know that you´ve taken it too far?
So cry for deliverance
Cry for exoneration
Your life is now in our hands
Can you defend, and amend for what you´ve done?
The day has come
On this day they´ll know
Welcome to the blood-show
Justice by fire or justice by rope
Justice by poison, it´s your choice
Here´s one bullet
Here´s one gun
Make it easy
Take your pathetic life and be gone

Blood On Our Shores
04:15
|
|||
There is blood on our shores
Can you smell the slaughter?
Vanity´s festering sores
Can you smell the slaughter?
This is what we´ll leave
A blood-drenched legacy
This what we´ve given
To our children
They won´t ever forgive us
They won´t ever forget
There is blood on our shores
Can you smell the slaughter?
The rotting of our souls
The rotting corpses in the waters
Now from the depths
From the waters
The stench of our mistakes
The crimes on our Earthmother
There is blood on our shores
Can you smell the slaughter?
The rotting of our souls
The rotting corpses in the waters
Can you see it? The oceans´s painted red
For our indulgence, for our selfish pleasure
We will loose them, they are the swimming dead
The lifeless seas, our sick legacy
This what we´ve given
To our children
They won´t ever forgive us
They won´t ever forget
