Protector - The Heritage lyrics



Tracks



01. Mental Malaria

Mental malaria

Body functions are slowed down
Machines delay awareness
Their engineers don't figure out
To slow down your nightmares
The only cure is good sound sleep
And that just feeds the infection
You can't wake up in deep sleep
The machines obey their instruction

02. Scars Bleed Life Long

Believe what you feel
And not what you see
The will imprisons emotion
A face is a mask
It changes so fast
Distinguish hope and frustration

Scars
Bleed life long
Bleed forever
Behind our eyes

The pain in our soul
Is omnipresent
In good times of life
We often repress
One side is crying
The otherone is laughing
In chasms of mind
Is lurking our wrath

Scars
Bleed life long
In oblivion
They grow strong

Scars bleed life long

Scars
Bleed life long
In oblivion
They grow strong

In mental rain
Rusts sorrow and pain
We try to survive
To stay alive

Scars
Bleed life long

03. The Heritage

In a time where grass is grey
Where trees can't clean the air
Toxic gas is what we breathe
No escape from this disease
Winds rising into shrieks
Noises piercing in the air
Glaring flashlight on the street
Hear the dying people blare

Clouds of dust
Run away and hide
What has happened
You're afraid inside
This inferno
Erases mankind
Those who died
Escape wars of mind

Starvation / Consolation

Those who said
Let's make war not peace
Lost their life
Falling on their knees
They die young
Leave this life behind
R.I.P
Is what they'll find

Evisceration / Consolation

Your mouth so paralyzed with fear
You dare not to speak
Your eyes so blind and hypnotized
You cannot weep

The heritage - Of an golden age

Devastation / Consolation
Starvation / Consolation

04. Lost Properties

Shadows move back to the ground
The sun begins to show
Lay to rest, when it is light
The day it makes them go
Gates of hell are open wide
Resists the savage dead
We are safe at least for now
Recuperate what's left

Forgotten times before
Fighting an inner war
Living for the future
Today we'll pretend

Empty houses on the hill
Proprietors unknown
Without licence we move in
Take it as our home
In this sick society
Citizens get sick
Fight against reality
With every kind of trick

Burning down the walls
The rebellion force
All across the land
Fight in selfdefense

We will make the worse time better
We write down new laws
That help us living together
No one can ignore
You teach children harmony
And to use elbows
In this sick society
Only strong kids grow

05. Convicts On The Street

Terror daily seen on the screen
Emotions lost - Is it real or a dream
Neurosis drives the man insane
Sickness that we cannot blame
We are not entagled in
To think about it makes us no sin
Unknown victims that were killed
They don't need our full compassion

Hear screams out in the night
It must be another gun-fight

Been alone on the street again
On 5th Ave. there are standing three men
One man said:"How is your trip?"
From now on I am in their grip
It's too hard for me to say "No!"
So I said: "Come on! Let's go!"

Hear screams out in the night
It must be another gun-fight

Feeling like a ship on the stream
Sitting at home, what's happened on screen
On channel "3" is a fight with a killer "T"
Who survives lives for 20 hours free

Convicts on the street

Shoot by driving is the game that they play
Later that day I remember I was far away
The criminal movements shown on TV
This sad affair means nothing to me

Hear screams out in the night
It must be another gun-fight

Shoot by driving is the game that they play
Later that day I remember I was far away
The criminal movements shown on TV
This sad affair means nothing to me

06. Protective Unconsciousness

Manipulation in the world
Is everywhere we go
We're influenced by religion
Commercial and TV
Laws made by minorities
To rule the world of hate
Oppressing the majorities
And lead them into fate

Hear
The rich ones laugh
Feel
What you can grasp
Smell
This decadence
Scream
Unconsciousness

Stand up and be like me
Let us fight this unseen enemy
Don't forget it's for ourselves
In this world exists no grace

07. Paralizer

[Instrumental]

08. Chronology

Past is the written history
Times been good and bad
Future is unknown and surely
We won't run things so bad

We don't know
Where to go
But who cares
No one dares

Great characters come and go
Fame of today lives hundred years long
His name returns in grandpa's narration
He lives on his own creation


Chronology
Read the sign
Through the time
Art gets fine

Chronology
Soon you'll be
Just like me
Never see
Chronology

Let's complete the ideas we have
Avoid the flow to consider success
Future is made by ourselves
Don't judge a try before it failed

A valuable relic never dies
Forever it shines in our eyes
Things that occur in the past
Their place will forever last

09. Palpitation

[instrumental]
