Find pungent suppression where dictators corrupt and control
Subversive elements in their constant resistance Civil liberty falls prey to fatuous dictates Fatal ideals, legislative power and executive authority! Paramilitary troops are the government's arm To hush up the injustice, who's given them the right? Repressive affluence versus flinching poverty Malpractice, where the andes extent Await the holy father and his blessings promising Talking democracy and charity All at once all rays of hope are dashed in Chile's stadiums And resistance is foremost written in the eyes of a hungry peasant child! South American junta in blood drenched uniforms, hiding their Arrested opponents in foresaken jails underground A regime interspersed with old and exiled S.S. Passing laws and restrictions in their insanity Another illegal election, another ruthless purge And another restrained voice dies away within four walls of blood! Another mother's tear shed for another missing son Another rifle leveled at another unremitting enemy! Resist!!! 02. Life Cycle
New life dawns - the inception of another link in a profound process
Alteration and progress, nothing remains the same Like a from from the egg to the tadpole to the final stage Everything develops, learns, there's always reason almost rhyme! Like a spirit staircase that someday, somehow will end Even the world's life cycle ends when progression's altered (synthetically) I stalked the blissful fields of springtime, I comprehend and I remind And I will taste the bleary bleakness of autumn time, in due time I will find! Genesis, search, consumation - no living thing is extempted Confined knowledge cannot understand - harmonious symbiosis! Life cycles - almost everywhere! Life cycles - permanent progress! Life cycles - a higher contrivance... 03. Apocalyptic Disposition
Call to arms, call to arms, antiquated symbol of brutality
Join the forces, join the forces - learn your lesson in annihilation Accept the peace, accept in unconcerned - maintainin' political philosophy Contribute your best, contribute your best and follow the doctrine-conformity Sophisticated theories of strategy - accepting the war Awaiting the nuclear blow - as Nostradamus has forseen! Brave criticism, rationality Serve the doctrine of strength and force, apocalyptic disposition Fatal attitude - leading us to death The grand illusion - apocalyptic disposition Accept this paradox, immortal attitude, phrasemongers leading us to hell Don't mind your rotten spirit, don't mind your rotten spirit Keepin' the world war calculation Guard the simple Catechism-Darwinism-1999, welcome and advancing Macho attitude - those who want to see the earth as a big Arlington! Accumulate the overkill potential, a paranoid phobia Built the nuclear time bomb - the conventional battle potential Brave criticism, rationality Serve the doctrine of strength and force, apocalyptic disposition Fatal attitude - leading us to death The grand illusion - apocalyptic disposition 04. The Roads To Illiad

05. David
Back in the days of doubt and dissension, from the soil Palestinias
A wandering began, mathless in the annals of history and time Exiled and expeled, trapped in the walls of Babylon - only a leg on their way A consequence unheard-of, dispersion and pursuance for no rational cause Symbol of confession - held in contempt An endless voyage through time Prejudice, unreason - a contagious seed Today we shake our heads, can't comprehend In medieval times the Christian church made itself a part of the crime Conversion and judgement in blind infallibility executed upon the jews Bigotry and prejudice are persisting and basic characters of man As essential feature not to accept dissenters, it's so easy to judge But at nightfall of civilisation, when reason fell and Fascism prevailed A malpractice tarnished the world, rendered by a subservient mass! Accustomed to misuse and fear, we're looking back - insensibly! What happened then won't happen anew, Close your eyes in arrogance and simply forget! So much injustice and grief done unto the star of David Remind unsound doctrines of an Aryan race, the concentration camps, The relentless exodus Some folks say it will never come again, are they oblivious? Full of unconcern? So look Pretoria and the fascist-like regime - will man ever listen to reason? 06. Straggler From Atlantis
Out of the sea and no longer wind-driven, an ominous shore beckoned him
Murmurous waves comforted thy rebirth from the wamb of the strangling ocean Kardios - sprawled on a while coast, alive and ashore far from home Reminding the garden where a tune brought mischief A quivering shadow slid across him! All of a sudden something towered before him, an assembly of giants older than time Weakend and weary with a harassing arcanum they eyed Kardios, Nephol their name Further they heard Kardios' tale, Enek and Yod and Lotay Solemn silence fell upon them for Theona's Atlantis was drowned in the sea... Out of the sea - from dark waters he rose Kardios - bearing the burden and throe of memory Theona overrade the presage of old Kardios, who drowned the isle kingdom... kissing the kiss of death! In bright unbroken beams from the far untold unknown Like a torrent of foam he came An obscure structure without shape or form Coming from the skies faster than light "Atlantis, Atlantis has flowered forever For Theona has resigned as her queen Worshipped and honored and loved but kissed never... So is Theona and always has been" "Fairer Theona than moon or than sun Fairer stan stars in the vault of the skies No man can say when her reign has begun Lovely and queenly and regal and wise So it was told by the gods in high heaven Atlantis shall live and forever prevail Until her sweet lips in a love-kiss are given So runs the prophecy, so says the tale Forever Atlantis has flowered but this Is told of Theona - the moment that she grants To a lover the boon of a kiss Atlantis, Theona will drown in the sea..." Out of the sea - seeking remission Predestination - the harper from the sea Nephol island - sullen from a riddle, known as filth Exemption from a substance they called Fith... Fith subsisted and throve of Nephal flesh Brought upset and turmoil Burdened with dismay and bereft of hope The giants hearts failed them Devoured with ambition he was led before a well Once the home of spirits, convenient of Fith A weird blotch of vastness to separate the sun Far below the well a pallid spot of silver light Peering in the void old Atlantis came to mind Theona's tender eyes in the raging, roaring flood An edge of icy-blue from the cave community To combat Fith and cast off the burden memory! Prepared well for the finale he descended to Fith, the luminous mass from the stars The flaplike projection thrusted Kardios with a touch like a tongue of bright flames But the glow of awareness in Fith's tissue blinked out, the panting breath labored then stopped! So it was told and freedom was given to the giant kin, Nephol their name! "My sword was wonders shall we twain not do? The world is ours to roam and render clean Against whatever peril comes in view My arm is strong, your point and edge are keen" "For storming citadels for holding clear From sail and sloth, for glory in the sun For showing enemies the face of fear My good companion, you and I are one!" Out of the sea - remission was found Kardios - the straggler from the sea Farewell to the cave community Walking past the trunks he hummed Theona's tune... 07. Arcane
