State Of Delusion
02:49
|
|
||
|
Reality smashed into million pieces
Scattered like a puzzle that can't be solved
They feed you with fear and mythology
They cripple you with anxiety
To make you a gear in machinery
STATE OF DELUSION x2
A lie repeated often enough
Becomes the food for the starving mind
When masters of insanity
Sink their teeth in the flesh of humanity
They don't stop until the last drop of blood
STATE OF DELUSION x2
Truth dies before it was born
Ripped out of the womb
Twisted, tortured
beaten and slaughtered
STATE OF DELUSION x2

Violent Dreams
01:12
|
|

|
Another night
Soaked in cold sweat
Stabbing, shooting
Unable to escape
VIOLENT
VIOLENT DREAMS x2
Chest heaves
Heart pounding wild
Suffocating, drowning
Paralyzed by fear
VIOLENT
VIOLENT DREAMS x2
Disoriented mind
Blurring the lines
Violent dreams
Haunt me in my sleep

Not A Catwalk
02:07
|
|
||
|
Gears keep turning, bodies hit the floor
Profit climbs, they want more
Parents cry, the mob obeys
Shut your mouth, or you’ll take his place
"NOT A CATWALK", the bastard shouts
count the dead, then snuff them out
Steel and fire, another dead slave
Nothing but numbers, sent to the grave
Spit on the grieving, silence the weak
Loyal to master, deaf to the screams
"NOT A CATWALK", the bastard shouts
count the dead
No one questions
no one speaks
You fall in line
or you're the next to bleed
Mother, father, why do you weep?
He knew the risk—now he’s six feet deep

Paycheck To Paycheck
01:27
|
|
||
|
Drowning in a routine I despise
Endless days blur into nights
Caged within my own mind.
Sinking, counting down the days
Caught in cycles, lost in a haze
Barely holding on, losing air
Waiting, not just killing time
Breaking myself just to stay in line
Struggling to get by
By the middle of the month
I feel I’m wasting away
All I’ve got is a flicker of satisfaction
just enough to stay
FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK
FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK
Low on budget
the fight stays the same
Chasing dreams
while life keeps playing its game
FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK
FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK

Love Is Never Wrong
02:13
|
|

LOVE IS NEVER WRONG x2
Not a lifestyle choice
but innate identity
Striving for a world
That embraces diversity
Emotions are natural
Love is natural
You are natural
LOVE IS NEVER WRONG x2
It's no special treatment but equality
Everyone should live free with dignity
Reject hatred and ignorance entirely
Being different is not a threat to society
Emotions are natural
Love is natural
You are natural

Rat Race

Tried to run across the street
but I couldn't feel my feet
Everybody stared at me
but I'm not what they wanted to see
Supposed to do this, supposed to do that
all these things I just don't get
Now look out man
This plan is bad
I need to get out
No, no, I can't go any faster
Gotta get off cause this plan is a disaster
No, no, I can't go any faster
You want me to become a man
what the fuck do you think I am?
But not the one from your book
I'm different, take another look
Expectations everywhere
can't you see I just don't care
No, no, I can't go any faster
Gotta get off cause this plan is a disaster
No, no, I can't go any faster
I tried to do right
But it always turns wrong
So I'm leaving this place
I'm leaving this place now

Lifeless
02:44
|
|

|
I've seen a man holding a baby without a head
People starved, starved to death
I've seen a kid taking his last breath
A man flattened by a tank
I've heard desperate cries from the rubble
A family screaming watching their burning father
I’ve seen a boy carrying the remains of his brother
A girl hugging her lifeless mother
TO SERVE A COLONIAL STATE
TO PROTECT A SYSTEM OF HATE
In order to kill
And to justify
First, you must
Dehumanize
Billions poured into the war machine
For Christian Zionists and their doomsday dream
New gas, new oil, new lands to take
All to uphold an apartheid state
TO SERVE A COLONIAL STATE
TO PROTECT A SYSTEM OF HATE

Total Destruction
01:03
|
|
||
|
The front is wider every day
Tensions rising everywhere
Escalation, riots on your screen
One has always been and must be supreme
A HIGHER POWER IS ON YOUR SIDE
TOTAL DESTRUCTION, AND WE WILL RISE
The enemy has always been the same
Sides picked by allegiance, no alternative in between
Evil powers at the doorstep won’t fall asleep
Kill it before it gets too deep
A HIGHER POWER IS ON YOUR SIDE
TOTAL DESTRUCTION, AND WE WILL RISE

Sink
02:15

Dystopian society is not what we thought it would be
Pictured through smile and care
Humanity sinks to demise
And no one believes we have much to share
It’s not working out
Just work it out
We have to get out of here
We’re struggling now
Keep that in mind
Since we have reached so near
So many stories of economy but no part of misery
That which many sides must partake
Stigmatize or agonize, in the name of belief
But only in the name of the share that they will take
It’s not working out
Just work it out
We have to get out of here
We’re struggling now
Keep that in mind
Since we have reached so near
OR YOU BELIEVE WE DIDN’T SINK SO DEEP

Absurdity Of This World
01:36
|
|
||
|
In this world, people have meltdowns
over calls for ceasefire
and to stop killing children
ABSURDITY
ABSURDITY OF THIS WORLD x2
In this world, you will get arrested
for saying “stop killing children”
as the killer’s feelings are hurt
ABSURDITY
ABSURDITY OF THIS WORLD x2
In this world, stolen land is called home
sexual violence is the norm
and genocide is self-defense
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

Black, Grey And White
02:06

You want me to bleed, I will bleed out for you
You want me to starve, I'll starve to death
You need protection, I’ll be the wall
I’ll be the thunder, the lightning, the storm
BLACK, GREY AND WHITE WILL STAND FIRM
THE REST WILL BURN
BLACK, GREY AND WHITE WILL STAND FIRM
BURN, BURN, BURN
I want my name on the list
Carved in stone, ink on the skin
Paint my face among the golden leaves
Martyrs don't die, fulfill my dreams
BLACK, GREY AND WHITE WILL STAND FIRM
THE REST WILL BURN
BLACK, GREY AND WHITE WILL STAND FIRM
BURN, BURN, BURN
I'LL TEACH THEM A LESSON TO LEARN
WE’RE ALL GONNA BURN
You’re the reason
why I feel
like I can do
anything
Give me a breeze
I’ll make a wave
Give me the spoon
I’ll dig my grave
I get mad and confused
When love turns to hate
Red turns to black
And blue turns to gray

This is your end.
