Tracks



01. Lunacy Divine

Welcome to the brave new world, 21 century
Infected by the ancient plague, we're trapped in misery
Harbinger of apocalypse, messiah for the weak
False prophet of the brainwashed slaves, ignorant and sick

Manipulation with subconsciousness, throws us in agony
Protector of false promises, religious tyranny
Your true belief is just a fake, a vicious shameful masquerade
Behind the gates of godliness hides xenophobic hate

And now the world won't be the same
Deceitful lies in evil game
Blind eyes can't see the wicked sign
Of lunacy divine
Mankind is running to the end
The new dark ages close at hand
Awaiting us at finish line
See lunacy divine

Betrayed the constitution
Smashing down the human rights
Conspired with government
Perverted evil minds
Eradicate heterodoxy
Blinded by arrogance
You're spreading the disease
To control the innocent

And now the world won't be the same
Deceitful lies in evil game
Blind eyes can't see the wicked sign
Of lunacy divine
Mankind is running to the end
The new dark ages close at hand
Awaiting us at finish line
See lunacy divine

02. Treason

I see your face on TV every day
On billboards and newspapers too
I hear your poisoned voice everywhere
I am sick and tired of you

A man of power with a strong twisted mind
Corrupted and ill to the core
Illegitimate leader crowned by fools
I don't wanna see you no more

Treason, treason - devil in disguise
There's no reason in your awful lies
Masked thief, I don't believe your words
You're a servant of chaotic hordes

Obsessed with wealth
Possessed by greed
Inferno is waiting for you

A man of power had nothing to fear
His servants are under control
Disgusting betrayer, rebellion is near
I don't wanna see you no more

Treason, treason - devil in disguise
There's no reason in your awful lies
Masked thief, I don't believe your words
You're a servant of chaotic hordes

Treason, treason - devil in disguise
There's no reason in your awful lies
Masked thief, I don't believe your words
You're a servant of chaotic hordes

03. Blinded By Greed

Corrupted politician, you're just
A pawn in evil game
Lobbying the laws for the force
Without a name

You vote with no shame for deforestation
Don't care about the greenhouse effect
Apres nous le deluge - you say every day
You'll be cursed for your neglect

You are blinded by greed
Master of confusion, kin of devil's breed
You are blinded by greed
Hungry for money, ready for deceit

In union with the criminals
Protecting filthy deeds
You always use your power
To satisfy your needs

You vote with no shame
For urbanization
Ignoring environment laws
Apres nous le deluge - you say every day
The end of the earth is too close
You vote with no shame
For monopolization
The kids we can barely feed
Apres nous le deluge - you say every day
The profit is all that you need

You are blinded by greed
Master of confusion, kin of devil's breed
You are blinded by greed
Hungry for money, ready for deceit

Corrupted politician, you'd sell
Your soul for one more dime
Our patience's getting shorter
You're running out of time

You are blinded by greed
Master of confusion, kin of devil's breed
You are blinded by greed
Hungry for money, ready for deceit
Hungry for money, ready for deceit
Master of confusion, devil's breed

04. Empty Eyes

From nine to five you lose your mind
Become a slave become an empty shell
Robotic brains ignore your pain
They only care that you could serve them well

You know them too, strange déjà-vu
They have no clue, they stare at you

With empty eyes
So indifferent it's scary
Empty eyes
So unconcerned and weary
One thousand lies
There's nothing to respect
One thousand cries
There's nothing to regret

Another drink, another day
The more you buy, the more you fade away
They plant desires, control your mind
Your credit score will always ask for more

You know them too, strange deja-vu
They have no clue, they stare at you

With empty eyes
So indifferent it's scary
Empty eyes
So unconcerned and weary
One thousand lies
There's nothing to respect
One thousand cries
There's nothing to regret

Your office space became your home
Alarm-clock sounds
Boss on your telephone
He screams at his eternal slave
He bought your life
He owns your shallow soul

Empty eyes
So indifferent it's scary
Empty eyes
So unconcerned and weary
One thousand lies
There's nothing to respect
One thousand cries
There's nothing to regret

05. Silent Killing

Have you ever listened to your body
Your fat and ugly belly has to say
Just one more coke
One cheeseburger, one party
You can't return the life
You throw away

They kill us slowly, they kill us fast
With due respect and with disgust
They kill the promises we keep
They kill us (kill us!) in our sleep

Silent killing!

You eat genetic shit modification
You drink a beer
Just every fucking night
These calories that bring
You sweet salvation
They also paint your ass with cellulite

They kill us slowly, they kill us fast
With due respect and with disgust
They kill the promises we keep
They kill us (kill us!) in our sleep

Silent killing!

Astrology will eat
Your poor soul for dinner
Homeopathy eats
Your brain for lunch
You wallet is the one thing
That gets thinner
Another psychic says
Your ticket's punched

More caffeine, more salt
More good old mayo
You grow your belly
At the speed of light
Your bioactive hypertension chaos
Relieved by piece of cake into the night

They kill us slowly, they kill us fast
With due respect and with disgust
They kill the promises we keep
They kill us (kill us!) in our sleep

Silent killing!

They kill us slowly, they kill us fast
With due respect and with disgust
They kill the promises we keep
They kill us (kill us!) in our sleep

Silent killing!
Into the night!
The killing!

06. Guardians Of The Wretched

The criminals on a payroll
The guardians of the damned
Your system made her last call
All signals from your brain are jammed
Your soul is decimated
Protecting stolen wealth
Your mind decapitated,
A harvester of filth

So big and strong, grey uniform
Judges on your side
You'll never find, you'll never hide
The little man inside

The first one wasn't easy
Your heart beat like a drum
Reward was much more pleasing
Look what you have become
No thoughts, no will, no conscience
No promises to keep
Just money-flavoured nonsense
For vodka-favoured sleep

So big and strong, grey uniform
Judges on your side
You'll never find, you'll never hide
The little man inside

Your masters know
The time will come
Your sins will start the revolution

The criminals on a payroll
The guardians of the damned
Your system made her last call
All signals from your brain are jammed
The generals of the wretched
Your legions never miss
They kick, and run, and snatch it
Enforcing shameful peace

So big and strong, grey uniform
Judges on your side
You'll never find, you'll never hide
The little man inside

07. Divide And Rule

Everyone knows since ancient times
Peasants and emperors alike
Devilish tricks of war and peace
Don't bring salvation

Someone who rose above the rest
Found the answer to this task
Gaining the toughness to control
The population

Break up
The power structure
Foster distrust
You horrid vulture

Divide and conquer
Divide and rule
The ancient maxim
Tyrannic school
Divide and rule
To reign the state
Divide and conquer
The axiom of fear and hate

The king of the hill protects his gold
No glory and blood in the name of god
He needs every slave to encourage
Meaningless consumption

He doesn't cry out for the holy war
He struggles for power, he needs more
"Divide at impera"
His words for domination

Break up
The power structure
Foster distrust
You horrid vulture

Divide and conquer
Divide and rule
The ancient maxim
Tyrannic school
Divide and rule
To reign the state
Divide and conquer
The axiom of fear and hate

08. Reborn In Hate

Reborn in hate
Hate
They were reborn in hate
Hate

Belief indoctrination
For holy suicide
Forsaken generation
Was given a new guide
Deeply fanatic
Sincerely held
Religious to the extreme
The views of the world
Fundamentally meld
Building a violent team

Reborn in hate
Hate
They were reborn in hate
Hate

Ascetic deprivation
Don't matter - fake or real
Jihad justification
A soul that does not heal
Glorious bombings
Relinquish the pain
Stomping unfaithful to mud
Blood of the fathers
Was not spilled in vain
The best way of meeting your god

The faith overwhelmed his will
Fanatical clutches imprisoned his mind
Brainwashed to hate and kill
Terror ahead, nothing left behind

Reborn in hate
Hate
They were reborn in hate
Hate

09. Seeds Of Sorrow

What If I could change my life
Somewhere in the past
It makes me sad and makes my heart ache
But we never know what's best
Take it back just for one day
That flashed before my eyes
Will my sorrow go away?
Or the seeds will rise?

And I wonder does it matter
If it gets worse or it gets better
When we understand
That time goes by so fast
And the pain I have to feel
Is it fake or is it real?
When I realise
I cannot change the past

The decisions that I've made
Were they good enough?
Too soft for life that I obeyed
And way too rough for love?
Could I start again from here
Will we ever know?
Should my sorrow disappear
Or the seeds will grow?

Take my hand
And I will follow
Will you take
Away my sorrow

And I wonder does it matter
If it gets worse or it gets better
When we understand
That time goes by so fast
And the pain I have to feel
Is it fake or is it real?
When I realise
I cannot change the past

10. Apocalypse Within

Seems golden age is over
And something's going wrong
Here comes the understanding
It's bitter clear and strong
Hell is paved with good intentions
Willingly we choose our fate
We're the ones who are in charge
Who swallows the bait?

We pretend we never know
But the mirrors always show
Never wash away our sins
The apocalypse within
Cold and misery inside
A collapse that we denied
Our sorrow's deep and fate is grim
The apocalypse within

Religious obscurity
Mass media profanation
A witch who shatters windows
The mental devastation
Forget the lying politicians
For it's you who chose them all
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
What have we done?

The brains of clay, enchanted
Don't want to see
Don't want to hear
Like dragon's teeth once planted
Our tolerance
Will turn to fear

We pretend we never know
But the mirrors always show
Never wash away our sins
The apocalypse within
Cold and misery inside
A collapse that we denied
Our sorrow's deep and fate is grim
The apocalypse within
