[Instrumental]

A blast of darkness
Left in a storm
In shock and lost
Now my world is torn
I look for shelter to try to exist
The only option: survive and resist

The tension built up for several years
The war was inevitable as we had feared
I mourn the dead and curse the enemy
I pray to no one for some peace
For some peace that never comes

We lived through chaos, but we're back
From the ashes of the past

Resuscitation
A new chapter begins, we're now free
Far away from the fascist regime
Abdication
Leave them behind to self-annihilate
Neutralizing those we hate

You should have killed us, we're stronger
I'm marching on with newfound brothers
From the ashes of the past
We are back and we're here to last
Motherfucker

We lived through chaos
Nothing left to lose
No expectations
Now let's choose
The path of freedom
And let them dwell
In the confinement
Of their own hell

Resuscitation
A new chapter begins, we're now free
Far away from the fascist regime
Abdication
Leave them behind to self-annihilate
Neutralizing those we hate

Abdication
Leave them behind to self-annihilate
Neutralizing the bastards we hate

Brothers from a young age
It seems you've gone insane
Drug abuse, the mind destroyed
Whatever happened to your soul
Insanity, no self-control
Memory, an empty void

Kleptomaniac
Conspiracy and lies
Paranoid tendency
Severing the ties

No dignity no self-respect
The pain you cause makes me wretch
Uncontrollable urge to act
Betrayed and hurt the outrage grows
Anxiety, no self-control
Now there's no more turning back

Kleptomaniac
Conspiracy and lies
Paranoid tendency
Severing the ties

Self-inflicted misery

Nowhere to go, nothing to say
You've made it clear to stay the fuck away

Now the dust has settled in
You may soon realize
The mistake you made that day
Until that point, the truce is clear
In madness you will stay

Crushed by a dream that never came true
Conform to the rules set for you
Follow in the footsteps of the unsurpassed
That all got left in the long lost past

Constricted
A noose around my neck
Afflicted
Violence is setting in
Degraded
My ego is getting crushed
Persuaded
Listen to those we trust

Choke me, restrain me, hold me down
Submerged to deep, about to drown
I can't see the light at the end of this tunnel
Battered and bruised, as my gut gets pummelled

Constricted
A noose around my neck
Afflicted
Violence is setting in

My hopes and dreams fade away with my life
The final blow, swing of the knife
Total control taken from me
Finally death has come to set me free

Constricted
A noose around my neck
Afflicted
Violence is setting in
Degraded
My ego is getting crushed
Persuaded
Listen to those we trust

Tighter and tighter, my air pipes close
Delusion, delirium, oxygen low
A state of euphoria, a sense of bliss
Forgotten all the bullshit that made me exist

The outrage reigns supreme down here
Planetary unrest is beyond severe
The hope is gone from coast to coast
As hate towards the "others" grows

Owner of truth and final words governs ruthlessly over the herd
Then we follow, then we pray our problems away

Invisible threats, invincible lies
Forging confusion, splitting minds
Bending science and morality
Collective psychosis complete

Idealist, a list of ideals that will never be accomplished
I'm in a mist in the midst of hysteria, I am just your accomplice

Bend reality to their will
Send morality and justice away for the kill

Frantically, we compete and consume
All rules are off until our doom
The promise of heaven is why we breed
But the fear of hell is why we bleed

Owner of truth and final words governs ruthlessly over the herd
Then we follow, then we pray our problems away

Idealist, a list of ideals that will never be accomplished
I'm in a mist in the midst of hysteria, I am just your accomplice

This is just a smoke screen

We pillage and plunder the natural world
Taking everything that we want
No thoughts of future consequence
Deforestation, decimation

Wings of death fly through the sky
Echo-locating their prey
Humanity has taken over now
But soon they all shall pay

Past the point of no return
Global destruction is our path
The old world order shall rise up
And poison the human wrath

Chiroptera
Unstoppable
We panic and beg for our saviour now
Equilibrate
Dominate
The Earth is more powerful than we know

Deep inside the jungle dwells
An evil that is brewing
The bats shall plague us with their blood
Inside our pots they're stewing

The pandemic has spread across the globe
The plan has been made clear
We've been outsmarted once again
By mammals with no fear

Chiroptera
Unstoppable
We panic and beg for our saviour now
Equilibrate
Dominate
The Earth is more powerful than we know

They're swarming down

Past the point of no return
Destruction is our path
Old world order shall rise up
Poison the human wrath

As a wolf in sheep's clothing
You learned to use the card
Of a bully playing victim
But we won't forget who you are
Now you fake social justice just to deceive
But you never practised what you preach

Just another weapon in the list
Of a pervert and a narcissist

We all know who you are: a chameleon, a fraud
Who signals his virtue and others' flaws
Pointing your fingers away from yourself like claws
A masquerade to try to change uncomfortable facts
But one day, you'll come face to face with the past

You act inclusive to divide
The abusive power it provides
Just another tool to throw the blame
But deep inside you're still the same

Replace their trust with treachery
To crush the ones that you proclaim unworthy

At all cost you seek love and respect
But we identified the suspect

We all know who you are: a chameleon, a fraud
Who signals his virtue and others' flaws
Pointing your fingers away from yourself like claws
A masquerade to try to change uncomfortable facts
But one day, you'll come face to face with the past

We know who you are

At all cost you seek love and respect
But we identified the suspect

Bashing away at former friends
Cashing in on current trends
Switching appearance without shame
You try to reinvent your game

We all know who you are: a chameleon, a fraud
Who signals his virtue and others' flaws
Pointing your fingers away from yourself like claws
A masquerade to try to change uncomfortable facts
But one day, your past will come back and bite you in the ass

As the real victims remained silent, you disguised yourself
But it's all over now, prepare to rot in a cell

You try to run, but you can't hide
No more peace or hope inside

Truth teller, cast their evil away
Whistle blower, hero of the modern day
Unmask abusers, keep corruption at bay
Stop the oppressors, lead us all out of harm's way

Selfless guardian of truth and of boundless virtue
With injustice all around, this can't go on

Your last act of rebellion
Will take them down to the ground
Oppose malevolent ways
Expose their deeds to end their days

Giving your help
Finding a way of comfort for those who weep
Risking yourself
Never that far away from your dose of eternal sleep

They're coming to restore control
They're throwing you deep in a hole
They'll torture and make you regret
And hide your corpse, we won't forget

The whole World is counting on you
There's no one else we think is true
Complacent cowards let you take the heat
Because they know the chances that you'll succeed

We've all seen the martyrs fall under their fire
But you face the peril to topple the evil empire

Your last act of rebellion
Will take them down to the ground
Oppose malevolent ways
Expose their deeds to end their days

Giving your help
Finding a way of comfort for those who weep
Risking yourself
Never that far away from your dose of eternal sleep

They're coming to restore control
They're throwing you deep in a hole
They'll torture and make you regret
And hide your corpse, we won't forget

We've all seen the martyrs fall under their fire
But you face the peril to topple the evil empire

We'll never forget

[Instrumental]

You've reached the bottom, nothing there
Sadness, loneliness and despair
Regret and anguish, you hate yourself
Decimated your own health
Awake at night, you're not at peace
Uncontrollable thoughts, your mind is weak
You need someone to blame for your mistakes
Your weakness, your fears and your self-hate

Burn the bridge
He's lost his mind
Insanity
He's gone blind
Burn the bridge
For the rest of time
Instability redefined
You burned the bridge

I tried and pushed and pledged to help you
In your time of need
But you are beyond saving right now
The mind grows weak, it's shutting down

A lifetime of loyalty and respect
The distance has grown, we disconnect
Although it seemed like all was fine
We should have looked to see the signs

Losing touch with reality, where can you go
The only way is tumbling down a spiralling endless hole

A big lie is all I see
No more substance, you are empty
Corruption, human beings
Competition over little things

No more hope
No more technical reason for us to go on
We were both
Full of life and illusion back when we were young

Faith I have no longer
In the path that I once had chosen
No reason to go on
Obsolescence of my own program

Suddenly, we're victims of our past
Years have flown, we're fighting 'til the last

Love is gone, sadness is born
Memories, all is remorse
Knowing you inflicts no more pain
Throwing you all down the drain

Suddenly, we're victims of our past
Years have flown, we're fighting 'til the last

No more hope
No more technical reason for us to go on
You and me
Full of life and illusion when we were young

Love is gone, sadness is born
Memories, all is remorse
Knowing you inflicts no more pain
Throwing you all down the drain

We're victims of the great deception
Disillusioned by this mess
The conclusion is death

Love is gone, sadness is born
Memories, all is remorse
Knowing you inflicts no more pain
Throwing you all down the drain
