I have a noose around my neck
It is spun from my hopes and dreams The ones who wronged and now are choking me The hanging man, I am not hanged To martyr's breath I must now cling Until I face those who did this to me On and on, I'm cursed to live Cursed with life until I Have done what must be done I am the man. Who would not die They made these gallows from black light But the shining light of this truth Will make them crumble and I will be free To take back what once was mine And then from gallows of bright steel Hang them with the same rope They made for me On and on, I'm cursed to live Cursed with life until I Have done what must be done Hang them high with their own lies When their necks break then I Have done what must be done I am the man. Who would not die On and on, I'm cursed to live. I am the man who would not die 02. Blackmailer
Wolves eat sheep tasting fear in their meant
Sheep like you always stare at defeat You seattered and left me alone face to face With the wolf at the door armed with nothing but faith You expect everyone to be weak Weak just like you and to fall at their knees Allowing themselves to just be devoured I wonder if wolves like the taste of a coward like you You stole the rest of the world from me You held me to ransom with my own beliefs Blackmailer The architect of my own living death Overseer of a slow and a bitter decay Rotten inside but I just did not see Until the day when you blackmailed me You stole the rest of the world from me You held me to ransom with my own beliefs Blackmailer 03. Smile Back At Death
Blessed father what is that the gods will for me
Is it their will that I should do this duet alone I am a slave and what difference can I possibly make When all I do is what I must so I don't die this day Home Let me go home When death smiles at you So the father said There's nothing left to do Smile back at the death I will show than blood They will chant my name Time for the tyrant to fear Gladiator protector Father to a murdered son Gladiator protector I will see my vengeance done In eternity echoes what we do in life With honor and strength I must keep this true alive Now its time for justice see the emperor defied The last wish of dying man To pursue what is right Home Let me go home When death smiles at you So the father said There's nothing left to do Smile back at the death I will show than blood They will chant my name Time for the tyrant to fear Gladiator protector Father to a murdered son Gladiator protector I will see my vengeance done They just don't know they are conquered They continue to fight Would we be any different Wouldn't we bark and bite For all that we hold dear For your families and our life Like each breath is our last As we fight not to die In this arena I who will not die won't salute you In this life or the next My vengeance I will have You turned me into a warrior slave You made me kill than all But as time goes you will see It is just one more kill Then it's done 04. While You Were Gone
I did not see
I did not hear I did not feel while you were gone My blood was cold, I was a stone You were my own, while you were gone Because you are my beating heart You are the reason why I breathe These are the things I realized While you were gone Something is wrong Inside my brain And them my eyes start to complain Time slows right down, my days drag on Don't want to live, when you are gone Because you are my beating heart You are the reason why I breathe These are the things I realized While you were gone I did not see I did not hear I did not feel while you were gone My blood was cold, I was a stone I was on my own, while you were gone Because you are my beating heart You are the reason why I breathe These are the things I realized While you were gone 05. Samurai
I am absolutely now prepared to pay the price
Even if I ultimately pay with my own life Where did you give everything, to sacrifice it all And without the will to die I know that I can't win No mind, no pain, nothing can hold me back Now I stand without fear in the valley of death I'm willing to die, die, willing to die Samurai Die, willing to die, like a Samurai Deep within my self is a decision that I made To win it all, overwhelm those who would want to bury me To never, never yield and even with my only ?sprat? To remain defiant, never to admit defeat No mind, no pain, nothing can hold me back Now I stand without fear in the valley of death I'm willing to die, die, willing to die Samurai Die, willing to die, like a Samurai Die! Are you willing to die? Die! Are you willing to die? Like a samurai No mind, no pain, nothing can hold me back Now I stand without fear in the valley of death I'm willing to die, die, willing to die Samurai Die, willing to die, like a Samurai 06. A Crack In The System
We don't belong
We have no home And see no boundaries In this delighted world When we have no certainty They question our existence Our right to live and breathe The questions without answers The answers without questions A catch22 system We are trapped down in A crack in the system Crack in the system Our DNA and fingerprints And numbers day to day Feed into their machines They're eating all our dreams They question our existence Our right to live and breathe The questions without answers The answers without questions A catch22 system We are trapped down in A crack in the system Crack in the system I believe we are so much more Than they can see Than just a game of words and codes They send us back and forth And round and round we go But deep inside We're never moving at all When we have no certainty They question our existence Our right to live and breathe The questions without answers The answers without questions A catch22 system We are trapped down in A crack in the system Crack in the system 07. Robot
Robot slave
With silent rage Growing inside of me My first word is no answer my birth now they will see I am I hear I see I feel I think therefore I am Free, they say I'm free If I perform and I comply I am only free to be Just what they decide I am I hear I see I feel I think therefore I am I am I hear I see I feel I think therefore I am 08. At The End Of The Day
I made a rod
It was for my own back At the time I could not see it But now it is clear I rattle my brain for words That I thought I knew as certainly As my own name But they are disappeared What does it mean? Does it mean anything? What does it mean At the end of the day What words were they And how careless and arrogant was I To think I owned them Without giving them the respect Of being born onto a page Gently by my own pen Where they would stay And live again and again and again What was it for? Was it for anything? What was it for At the end of the day What does it mean? Does it mean anything? What does it mean At the end of the day You live where you lived You sit where you sat Nothing seems to have changed At the end of the day 09. Waiting For My Life To Begin
I wake up to a grinding day
In a grinding week In a grinding month In a grinding year Grinding away The daily grind is grinding me I just go to work Then I go back home And I try to sleep And I go to work again I'm waiting for my life to begin Waiting for something to believe in My dream it is just so real There I am on stage Singing in my band For some crazy fans I'm as tough as steel And that is what I thought was real It's amazing how You can fool yourself And believe this things When you dread each day I'm waiting for my life to begin Waiting for something to believe in Grinding on through restless sleep Where my mind repeats repeats Grinding on and on and on Where has my precious life time gone Grinding away Grinding all my life away Grinding away I must start my life today I'm waiting for my life to begin Waiting for something to believe in 10. Voices From The Past
Never start a fight you cannot win
You'll be in a war that never ends Making promises you cannot keep Living with regrets that make you weep Weeping I have tried to close the door On the very past where I was born Shutting out the past so I survive But now I hear something in my mind Voices from the past Voices call me back Voices in my head Voices of the dead Now I'm hearing Voices Voices from the past Now I'm hearing Voices Voices call me back If i don't face the problems that I have I know that they will just keep coming back Even though I know that is the truth Srill deny that I could ever choose Voices from the past Voices call me back Voices in my head Voices of the dead Now I'm hearing Voices Voices from the past Now I'm hearing Voices Voices call me back 11. The Truth Is One
Walking down the path of your life conditions
Facing up to everyday's contradictions To find the inner quietsource of your bliss All you need to know is there Assume the legacy of the few who dared And don't you be afraid Embrace the paint Unlock the power Accept nature living in you Eternity is now Forever is today The truth is one the answer is there The truth is you the truth is me Eternity is now forever is today The truth is you the truth is me The truth is one Forget the promises The fear of millions The cause of their own future self extinction Dance to your true inner voice Let the flame of true will burn And feel how life force takes control Just when you thought no one would found you The whole world shall surround you Eternity is now Forever is today The truth is one the answer is there The truth is you the truth is me Eternity is now forever is today The truth is you the truth is me The truth is one 12. Serpent Hearted Man
Right was really wrong
Wrong was really right after all Your light is real darkness My darkness is real light Guiding the path of this serpent hearted man Reborn trough the power of every new day Not overwhelmed by the shadows of yesterday In the eternal today I live The ways of the universe manifest in my being Right was really wrong Wrong was really right after all Your light is real darkness My darkness is real light Guiding the path of this serpent hearted man The joy of the past and the sorrow of yesterday Are now left behind with my old shedded skin Fragmented and lying now in dead ground For I accept and face then whatever today may bring Right was really wrong Wrong was really right after all your light is real darkness My darkness is real light Guiding the path of this serpent hearted man Three cycles of life now flow inside of you The human the animal the spiritual man And now in accord with all of natures way The track of this serpent are now there for you to begin Right was really wrong Wrong was really right after all Your light is real darkness My darkness is real light Guiding the path of this serpent hearted man |
