Your time will come
And you will bleed All along the highway While facing your wicked ways You saw the weak Desperately trying to surface You frowned upon their misery And pulled them back into the abyss Ignoring their painful demise Showing no sign of remorse When they were dead You took the flowers from their graves High and proud, like a servant of death, You turn a blind eye to the atrocities that you create High and proud, like a servant of death, You dig your own grave As you unleash sights of woe You saw the weak desperately trying to surface You frowned upon their misery Now they frown upon you Your time will come And you will be haunted Repercussions of a malicious way of life Lost happiness and lasting pain Self inflicted torment Your time will come Your hell awaits 02. Drowned By Guilt
And there I was
In the cold black water Struggling, Like so many others But now It was just me All alone All alone I felt my weakness My nemesis Staring at me with no remorse As if somehow guilty And sentenced to death ... and there I was In the cold black water My pale dead body And there I was Drifting on the waves Drowned Drowned 03. Lost Within
Peace
Was there ever peace? Was there even a time When you smiled upon the world? When your colors were not black and blue Was there ever peace? Was there even a time When you smiled upon the world? When your colors were not black and blue Was there ever peace? Was there even a time When you smiled upon the world? When your colors were not black and blue Peace Was there ever peace? I like to believe there was Somewhere Hiding within the wreckage that is you War There is a war inside of you A war that makes you blind That makes you rage That tear you down and shut you out You are lost within a dolorous kingdom And you are struglling to become victorious I still dream of a day, A day when you submit to defeat And swallow your pride When you would remove that crown of thorns And take time to smell the flowers That you were given 04. Dogs Of Chernobyl
Once upon a radioactive ecocide
Where life had turned grey Left in the aftermath Abandoned Abandoned Forever loyal to their masters Awaiting and protecting Until the light would shine again Until they would reunite And when that day did come, They welcomed their masters With unconditional love, With unconditional love Only to face betrayal Betrayal They were given no mercy They were given no mercy As their masters shot them down The dogs of Chernobyl Died wondering why They died wondering why Once upon a radioactive ecocide Where life had turned grey They died wondering why They died wondering why 05. We, The Shameless
We, the shameless
An excluded species Sitting in high thrones As self proclaimed masters Of a dying world We, spill their blood As we see fit Claiming their land as if ours Leaving their wounds open And worst of all without feeling guilt And worst of all without feeling guilt There is no language To excuse these atrocities Unleashed upon them Our fellow earthlings On which we prey We, the shameless, We see it all pass by We are killing ourselves And everything around us While dreaming of a fairytale end While dreaming of a fairytale end 06. Lullaby
Sleep my friend,
My love and life This is the hour I wish would never come When that which is and we thought would be Is soon to be vanquished As you close your eyes, The draperies will fall And tomorrow will no more be ours, As death do us part Our kingdom of peace, Where we were one, Lies fallen and gone In ruins A bleak garden withering away In which I will mourn In which I will cry out your name In desperation Trying to transcend, As colors fade away Sleep my friend, My love and life This is the hour I wish would never come Take my hand and let this now Fade into a forever dream The time has come to bid farewell Let the last gleams of light Be a beacon on your journey To the setting sun And the neverland 07. Yours To Devour
Mine is yours,
But yours can never be mine I often stare into your eyes Reaching out with my distress Trying to speak of this injustice Mine is, And was always, Yours It was never a matter of choice As I did not have the capacity To refuse your claims Of being your property I am nothing but your captive A unit A weight A product You dress me up in lies And sell me to the world You claim to show compassion And treat me with respect Still, My life is in your hands My life is yours to take Here I am at your disposal To fulfill your carnal pleasures My suffering a prerequisite I am here to satisfy Your untamed will To devour my flesh Here I am Here I am Now, then and forever on Awaiting Awaiting Now, then and forever on Awaiting I know you will put me out Whenever you see fit There will be no mercy And no signs of regret I am here to satisfy Your untamed will I am here to satisfy Your untamed wil To devour My flesh |
