To Live in Fear
02:30
|
|||
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

Killing Machine
02:10
|
|||
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

Evil From the Depths
03:14
|
|||
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

Living Paradox
02:28
|
|||
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!

Eternal Curse
02:17
|
|||
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

Modern Slavery
01:50
|
|||
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
