Tracks



01. Agent Orange

Caged into the chopper
Crossing the green
Camouflage confusing his eyes
His company down under
Shots from nowhere
Loyalty'll be denied in time

Followed the call of pride
Patriotic to fight for stars and stripes
Heroic left his home
To invade a land
Where he doesn't belong

Agent orange cleared his sight now
A different face stared at him somehow
Gas changed the conflict
Sort of deranged
Hope and honour
Have fallen with the green

Deprived of the green filter
No more cruelties censored
War can't be ignored any longer
Wishes he was out of sight again

The green is gone
Shelter's slain
The hidden heroes
Delivered to the pain
It's in his face
Where they run, where they fall
It's in his mind
Unable to close the scar
Heroic image uncovered
Escaping from it's challenging disguise

Into the green
Into the green
Where mortality's unseen
Into the green
Where war games are so easy to play

Soon it was done
The hell of Vietnam
Unveiled it's violated grace
His company down under
Strategic demands
Raged like a tropic disease

It's been hard to watch 'em die
Trying to forget Operation My Lai
Though he didn't really mind
To hear some Viet Cong's women cry

Agent orange cleared his sight now
Loyalty was kicked away somehow
Turned the chopper
Left the violence
Into the green
Where war is as once

Deprived of the green filter
No more cruelties censored
War can't be ignored any longer
Wishes he was out of sight again

Into the green
Into the green
Where mortality's unseen
Into the green
Where bravery's what it means

Invisible, in the green

02. Dead End

Don't leave me waiting
Open the door
Never felt like this before
I guess that death has scored
So help me
Get me off the floor
Slowly moving clearing the place
Ain't nobody see you and me
Invisible in the streets
No one to hold me
I'm leaving here

At the edge of nowhere
At the ruins of myself
At the crack of light
Where being's finished
End of time
One step to eternity
An inch from reality
One thought from decay
While living seems so far away

Charons been already payed
Crossing the liquid end of fate
Won't take long to pass the gate
Dimensions fade but I feel the rain
Guess I'm deprived of vitality
In physical lethargy
No more being no more pain
No body, to feel an ache

At the edge of nowhere
At the ruins of myself
At the crack of light
Where being's finished
End of time
One step to eternity
An inch from reality
One thought from decay
While living seems so far away

Welcome to the cold
Welcome to a cold world
Welcome to your grave
Welcome to the lost souls eternity
At the dead end of light
At the dead end of time
Into the nightmare
Depression fills
My empty head
Terribly lonely, it's myself
That's killing me
Abandoned, kind of sad
Some empty shell, kind of dead
The silence of the big sleep
Some pounding noise inside of me

Life, turned to a kind of being
With shadows sitting by my side
My hands are cold as ice
Is this myself inside

No one to talk to
Nothing to long for anymore
A grey dimension out of reason
Out of nature
No individual, not a face
In fictive mirrors
Mute, out of thought and sight
Deaf, blind and paralyzed

Life, turned to a kind of being
With shadows sitting by my side
My hands are cold as ice
Is this myself inside

Life, turned to a kind of being
With shadows sitting by my side
My hands are cold as ice
Is this myself inside

At the dead end of time
Dead end of light
Dead end of time
Dead end of light
Dead end of life

03. The Blade Is Back

They've cured me once again
No doubt about my attitude
I'm okay don't be afraid
Disease already left my head
Feeling good, feeling fine
Nothing to burden my mind
I'll keep it calm, I'm alright
No wicked needs to satisfy

Happy walking down the street
Smiles of peace and amity
Are nothing but a hollow truce
'Cause I know better things to do
The first female legs I see
Remind me of what I need
Screaming women running fast
The kind of fun I like best

Can't take 'em, don't need 'em
Can't even stand to see 'em
The way they smell
The way they talk
I really hate the way they walk

Be sure, I'll never stop

I know you don't like me
But I don't really mind
You might think I'm mean
Believe me
It's the only thing she needs
Won't take pity on her cries
I'd better keep it to the hard line
Call me ruthless, call me cruel
But I'm convinced of what I do

The wicked anti-female
The pretty girl's nightmare
The throat cutting insane
Is on his feet again

Can't take 'em, don't need 'em
Can't even stand to see 'em
The way they smell
The way they talk
I really hate the way they walk

The blade is back

04. Inside

What does time mean?
The years, the moments, seconds seem like
What has being to do with living?
Silence seems so loud in here
Calming white embracing me
The clock is frozen
Partitions moving closer

Inside, inside
Lonely
Within the white
Abandoned
Inside, inside
Waiting for the minute to be over
For another second to begin

The emptiness of mine
Dreams been kicked out of my mind
Infusions keep on fleeting my emotions
Unable to tell day from night
The difference between dark and light
Out of brain, out of myself

Inside, inside
Lonely
Within the white
Abandoned
Inside, inside
Waiting for the minute to be over
For another second to begin

05. Just Another Scar

You don't belong
You don't belong
In the world of today
Nothing you do
Nothing you say
Will cause any change
One single fate
One single fate
Won't be missed in this state
That's all you are
That's all you'll be
And there's nothing you'll leave

Just another scar
Within the skin
A tiny drop of blood upon a pin
Another crack within the wall
Just another leaf to fall
Just another tear
Within the sea
Another day of the year
Another person within the crowd
Not even worth to care about

Another scar, another wound
A handful of dust to pour into the tomb
Some new disease
Some different death
Just another hole within the flesh

Just another scar
Within the skin
A tiny drop of blood upon a pin
Another crack within the wall
Just another leaf to fall
Just another tear
Within the sea
Another day of the year
Another person within the crowd
Not even worth to care about

Another sentence
Brand new law
Again equality picked the shortest straw
Another high jack, another riot
An armed third world
Another mercenary hired

This is the world you live in
This is existence
This is the cycle of the strong
And the weak
The nature of the wolf
To beat the sheep
So keep being brave but quiet
And be satisfied

You don't belong
You don't belong
In the world of today
Nothing you do
Nothing you say
Will cause any change
One single fate
One single fate
Won't be missed in this state
That's all you are
That's all you'll be
And there's nothing you'll leave
But another scar
Just another scar

06. Total Control

Lying in my room
Silent, well improved
Out of reason, out of mind
No reaction, instincts died
But I'm alive

Reason is dead
The dreams that you've had
The person is lost
The change is perfect
Madness is gone
The system has won
Logic is real
To fit society
Total control
Total control
Total control
Total control
Transformation

Machine head is working
The program is living
White walls, protect reality
A trapped existence in lethargy
Termination of my dreams
Replant my eyes and change
The truth of sight

Reason is dead
The dreams you've had
The person is lost
The change is perfect
Madness is gone
The system has won
Logic is real
To fit society
Total control
Total control
Total control
Total control
Transformation

My resistance torn
But I'm reborn
Recreation of my mind
My memories denied
But somehow I'm alive

Reason is dead
The dreams you've had
The person is lost
The change is perfect
Madness is gone
The system has won
Logic is real
To fit society
Total control
Total control
Total control
Total control
Transformation

07. Why

[Instrumental]

08. Train Raid

Hey folks, come on let's go
We've got another job to do
Move it brothers
Climb on the horses
Introduce ourselves
As the bandit forces
Come on everybody
On your marks
Let's earn a million golden bucks
No one to stop us now
Come on you hoods
Let's go for dollars

Train raid, train raid
A perfect plan
We'll never see the jail again
Train raid, train raid
We'll try again
'Cause we're the famous Dalton clan

Averell, Willy, Jack and Joe
Are waiting for the train to come
But there's some error
They don't expect
They wait upon the iron tracks
The train is coming, what a show
The Daltons kind of over rolled
Joey screams, his brothers mute
Don't worry, they'll be back soon

Train raid, train raid
A perfect plan
We'll never see the jail again
Train raid, train raid
We'll try again
'Cause we're the famous Dalton clan

Train raid, come on folks
Let's do the train raid
Attempt number 205 is on today, oh yeah
We won't fail again
We won't miss the chance
Ain't no one gonna laugh
About the Dalton gang anymore
