The strongest ancestral instinct, a sensation inoculated an intense and contagious emotion, impulse unregulated trembling hand, cold sweat, wide eyes, wet back self-encirclement, uncontrollable panic attack now the time has come to live in fear now the time has come to live with... the fear of not being able to buy the latest trend, the latest fashion the terror of being left without something really useless the concept of security generates fear of the neighbor, of the stranger the anxiety of not feeling safe here in your own home or anywhere now the time has come to live in fear now the time has come fear rises up the spine, a sense of despair clouds the mind. scared of not being able to buy a product that you can't find. hatred towards people indicated as a threat. security is like a needle whose lack makes you upset. closed in four walls, always terrified of living in fear now the time has come it’s time to live in fear

Faceless puppets all dressed alike sparkling badges, empty eyes they're all ready, all in line drums of war, comrades in crime the command is given, the ranks are tightened the killing machine is ready to slaughter there's no mercy but savagery the army of death comes for you and me the lowest forms of life, the result of a series of failures no sensitivity, no prospect, no culture the perfect job is swingin the sabers automatons driven by frustrations always ready to execute orders there is no justice in their nasty actions fascist minds, racist soldiers people shot dead, killed, humiliated skin color makes the difference they're all ready, all in line drums of war, comrades in crime the command is given, the ranks is tightened the killing machine is ready to slaughter there's no mercy but savagery the army of death comes for you and me

Cities destroyed by internal hatred, a long and hard path to face Behind it there is only death and an uncertain fate ahead The sun is the first enemy in this emptiness of the soul Death grazes the victim's back while sharpening his scythe Pay to die, Charon is there, the encirclement is complete On one side the scythe, on the other Styx, in the middle the worst enemy: he accepts the money, he offers protection, He betrays trust every time Rape, violence, prison, segregation He doesn't listen to desperate cries Evil from the depths, an octopus who steals souls Evil from the depths is hungry for human flesh The boat of death is ready to sail after months, years of torture inside in walls of blood and pain, now there's the-abyss of horror Charon is blind, deaf and silent, with shiny blood-red eyes He doesn’t listen to the cries of help From the depths the tentacles rise Evil from the depths, an octopus who steals souls Evil from the depths is hungry for human flesh In the middle of the sea no one can hear the screams Evil from the depths, an octopus who steals souls Evil from the depths is hungry for human flesh You can't turn away, you can't pretend anything

Observing madness of survival instinct Hope is denial of an uncertain future Apocalyptic scenes in front of my eyes A grey desert along my path Human flesh to feed the beast A sudden breaking, a bated breath A failed system: living paradox No solution in this contradiction Observing madness of survival instinct Hope is denial of an uncertain future Apocalyptic scenes in front of my eyes A grey desert along my path The mechanism has lost a gear We were raised to play alone No social impulse in this bloody era Just a neverending dog-eat-dog Our existence is a numbers to guess The slaves are setting our doom up Their huge mouths secrete sewage Obstinacy on a dead body All around there’s just pain, a concentrate of hate. All around there’s just war Hyenas devouring bodies. Vultures paint the sky black Draw frightening shapes. Life ends really fast If you’re born in the wrong place Apocalyptic scenes in front of my eyes A grey desert along my path Observing madness of survival instinct Hope is denial of an uncertain future Taste the pain of human misery, A mixture of blood and gunpowder Listen to the sound of human voices, A hellish chorus of oppression Observing madness of survival instinct Hope is denial of an uncertain future Apocalyptic scenes in front of my eyes A grey desert along my path

Push Me Down 02:51
Burning desire for the expected change seeking salvation out of my range pushing my head down to the floor hatred spreads more than before it's like a continuous climb in the meantime... ... down, push me down i drown in a sea with no holds around spitting my rage in a empty room i'm ready to engage a race with the doom bloody knuckles, broken nails my endless struggle is on the right way nothing is yet decided in the meantime... ... down, push me down i drown in a sea with no holds around Try to push me down! Try to push me down! ... down, push me down i drown in a sea with no holds around bind my hands, lock my legs laugh watching me sink my end is not as close (close) as you think Here i come and now Try to push me down!

Surrounded by empty souls of damned Under the observing Eye of a silent watchman / Living a so called Life World Is turning wrong, the sun Is not rising today Darkness behind the eyes Spitting the games Living a so called Life that doesn't belong to you Waiting for the night to turn off Your mind World Is turning wrong, the sun Is not rising today Darkness behind the eyes Spitting the games Wake up, another bad day Is waiting For you, for the voice that drives your mind Puppet in the hands of an immoral society That sells your life for the wealth of a few the lowest price for your eternal curse this is your life, no other view an endless fall into the eternal curse

Trapped 02:04
I’m trapped with my demons, the society has built a cage, a watertight compartment It’s impossible to escape every time I try, every time it's a defeat it's a spinning wheel, it's a dog biting its tail they look inside me dissect my brain my screams are stucked in my throat all my efforts are useless and it traps me even more there's no way to escape the last glow went away I feel like I'm buried alive under a mountain of duties that I've never asked for and it traps me even more there's no way to escape the last glow went away Trapped! I try to dig harder I try to push more sometimes I can, sometimes I get it I grab that longed-for freedom but it traps me even more there's no way to escape the last glow went away I’m trapped, i drown

Sometimes I feel so bad Sometimes I don’t feel good Since i work for you sometimes i think i am lucky to have a job But something is wrong "Shut up and obey" Modern slavery Someone measures my performance everyday I'm forced to produce without leeway my time is marked by a series of deadlines the extra money I make is yours, not mine I have to pray for the pay Modern slavery Just work, zero breaks, mental collapse the few days of pause are never such endless hours spent filling in the gaps this life hurts so much employee of the month only thinks about career his grave gets deeper year after year capitalism has given birth to modern slavery
