Holocaust - War In Heaven/Hell On Earth lyrics



Tracks



01. Iron Will

Nothing in this world will ever bring me down again,
No one is gonna rob me of my self-respect, no way.
Tomorrow is another day...my day.

I regain my iron will
forged in the primal fire

No institution can hold me,
No government can own me,
No superstar of politics is gonna vandalize my mind.
Look down on me from a great height if you must...

I regain my iron will
Forged in the primal fire
Now hear this, ye gods of this world
Your system had me in chains
Now hear this, ye gods of this world...
Count the cost or pay the price.
I am holding on to what I love and I will never ever quit

I regain my iron will
Forged in the primal fire

02. Black Box

I reach out and touch the chill black face
I get the thrill inside
Curious desire; need to know

What lies behind your walls
Real world deserts me now
Thoughts drift into emptiness

Black box calling me again
The time is now ... Decide within
The scream of fear.... An agonizing dread
Clings to me and shows me how the end will be

The weight of time pulls me down
Fear of pain beyond the walls

Someone pull me back, someone...
give me the will to get out of this
Insane desire has me now

I know it's where I need to be
Alone again in dark despair
Memory leads me back to simple times
But where to go? -- but what to do?
My thoughts continually flash
Back to you

03. Hell On Earth

Riding on a tide of ill will,
Poison propaganda greedily devoured,
Powers up the war machine.

Contrived genocide,
Taken from the mind of hell.
Vicious rage, lethal incursions,
Venomous hate in action...

Nightmare campaigns
Hell on earth

Working from behind the veil,
Unseen and aggressive manipulators
Excite human evil,

Willful ignorance serves them well,
Gratify arrogant desire in orgies of destruction.

Nightmare campaigns
Hell on earth

Resistance imperative
Persistence imperative
But it will never happen upon the battlefields

Resistance imperative
Persistence imperative
But it will never happen out on the streets,

It's got to be in the heart of every man and woman,
It's got to be in the heart of every child...

No more hell on earth.

04. Transcendence

We don't need more aggravation,
Don't want to kill for a nation,
All the peoples of the world...
Let's get it on together, let's get it on.

We don't see the will to power,
We don't need all the pain and anger,
You know we flourish in love...
Let's get it on together, let's get it on.

Freedom inside...transcendence is ours!

Everyone on this earth is here for a reason,
Torn apart, maybe...
But in the image of God.
It's time to embrace pure ecstatic bliss.

05. I Smash The Void

I kiss my own tears away
I kiss my own fears away
I spew out my nightmares
Afraid no longer
A smash the void
I smash the void

And desperate eyes
Look up to the sea
Of tranquillity

06. Dance Into The Vortex

A still, small voice stirs inside of me
A spark of joy ignites me

This is a movement of the soul
A paradise on earth

It is my joy to dance in trance
Dance into the vortex

Just like being pulled forever
Into a clear autumnal morning

I am not the only one
I see the multitudes

It is their joy to dance in trance
Dance into the vortex

Chill winds will blow the past away
The flags will fly

It is our joy to dance in trance
Dance into the vortex

Our future is a glorious fountain
Shimmering in the chaos
The hygiene of destruction

It is our joy to dance in trance
Dance into the vortex

07. Curious

When curiosity
Takes our money and time
