A call Of Destiny
05:45
|
|||
Ho! Will we live until tomorrow?
I guess we have a little more to give
Can we all wait and pray for better days?
Have we forgotten, the future still in our hands
Can’t you see our fucking numbness?
I just can’t believe all of this ignorance
Open wide! It’s happening right in front of our own eyes
Still can do more than dragging down
The humanity to the ground
Some people give their life for a better world
Some people simply don’t give a damn fuck!
So why should we follow the black hearted
In their villainess to make everything divided and chaotic?
Can’t you see our fucking numbness?
I just can’t believe the sight of those innocents
Open wide! They’re all dying right in front of our own eyes
Still can do more than dragging down
The humanity
Can you hear the call of destiny?
The real good reason that pushes us
To go through the right way
Can you hear your subconscious
Who screams out in vain?
Do as you think what’s good and not…
Not as they tell you to do
Stop spreading evil and start on better days
Fight for your freedom, you always meant to be free
Defy the black hearted and stare them right in the eyes
Then maybe we’ll prosper together in a better way
Ho! Will we live until tomorrow? …. Tomorrow!
I guess we have a little more to say
Can we all wait and pray for better days?
Have we forgotten the future still in our hands….the future still in our hands!!!!

Strength Of Will

All around me everything’s burnt
I walk the empty streets, a ghost in the ruins
I breathe smoke and ashes
My skin burns and rashes
Noxious winds have swept any hope away
Can’t find anyone who have survived.
I look in despair for a trace of any kind
I search for someone who might have come
My way, through chaos and destruction
But no light or sign shows on the horizon
Now my life has no more meaning,
Stranded, starving, aching, yearning
Can’t lay down to die, I still have to try
Set to survive through grief and misery
Loneliness creeps into my head
What little I still own, won’t really save me
Fallin’ away from sanity
Crawling amongst the dead,
The sole witness of mankind’s dusk
(And) its memories left to rust.
Buildings crumble down, corpses lie everywhere
Eating from gutters I starve and hunger
Helpless, pathetic and pointless
A lone drifter in this bleak hereafter
Now my life has no more meaning,
Wandering with no place to go
Can’t lay down to die, I still got to try
Set to survive in this forsaken land
I must make a stand
And find some strength

Survivors

Brace yourself and take a hold on us
Engage the fight, do you dare to strike?
We come to you and unleash havoc
Let you helpless in the aftershock
We broke the waves and crush the storm
From the edge of our teeth,
From the marrow of our bones
We’re molded in iron and cast in stone
Any compromise will be overthrown
You can’t take what we took from you
We hold this ground, bold and strong
We made ourselves, indestructible
Come what may, we’re invincible… yeah!
We chose our path no matter what the way
Where we thrive no one’s left alive
We break through and shatter the core
No will can oppose us, we’re unstoppable
We saved ourselves from the depths
We took damage and evaded death
We brought back a fragment of hell
And break free from our restraining cell…hah!
When darkness looms, choices are made
Either you fall for the easiest way
Or you rise strong before you’re enslaved
It’s up to you, which way will you take…
which way will you take…
Nevermore, we’ll be run down,
We’re beyond all pain and above this game
To this vow we are bound…
Bound by blood!
You can’t take what we took from you
We hold this ground, bold and strong
We made ourselves, indestructible
Come what may, we’re invincible…Yeah!
When darkness looms, choices are made
Either you fall for the easiest way
Or you rise strong before you’re enslaved
It’s up to you, which way will you take…Huh?
which way will you take (x4)

Let me ask you questions who run in my thoughts for a while
A vision of what life has become through my eyes
Haven’t we crossed the limits of ethic in society?
And where will we go?
Where will we go from there!
It's not that I'm a puritan but it seems awkward (all) these obscenities
Aren’t we all conscienceless to deny the obvious
To watch on screen all of those absurdities
Sedated we are, indifference is blinding us!
Maybe it's all me, who's deluded about everything
Am I the only one who thinks that all went astray?
Are we truly worthy to live in life’s graces
Hey! Can you tell me? Because it feels like
Depraved: we are like never before
Desensitized: we stand still and watch them suffer
Normalized: we surely don’t give a damn anymore
In a global view, can’t you see what we are?
We are the parasites of this world
Hey you! So far, what have you done to change this world?
Are you a lazy fuck or just brain dead in the head?
Despite the fact that you still lying to yourself
Can you really face … Can you really face the obvious truth?
Depraved: we are like never before
Desensitized: We stand still and watch them suffer
Normalized: we surely don’t give a damn anymore
In a global view can’t you see what we are?
We are the unparadized of this world

Useless Questions
05:13
|

What makes us human beings?
Is there something or someone watching?
What purpose can we give
To that fragment of light pulsing inside?
There’s nothing beyond the sky
Nobody’s watching, nobody’s caring
The sky’s simply up there
And us, we play our games just below
With no guide … no guide to follow
Even when the past reveals itself
Unfolding its stories and mysteries
We can’t take no answers for our own
Build up from scratch and imagination
Waiting for a judgement day is useless
I think we had already been trialed
And the judge couldn’t care less
We’re paying for the crimes of a distant existence
Every day, we live to carry out our sentence
Even when the past reveals itself
Unfolding its stories and mysteries
We can’t take no answer for our own
Build up from scratch and imagination

World In Peril
04:32
|
|||
Lost are the times of yore
When mother earth stood unharmed and bore no scars
But one simple thing has changed it all…
We’ve learned to walk and strode the earth
We spread and defiled, wasting the land
Depleting the soils and lunging for more
Will we wake from our slumber?
A mess of blood and fire
Casualties’ pile by the number
As mankind grows larger and dire
Can we hope for something better?
(Will we) sink even deeper?
Huh! How could we know the answer?
In a world in such a peril…
Conscience and reason won’t save us from our rampage
We relish from the plunders in a consumer rage
Toward progress we burn any piece of Eden left
To which we shall give no respite and no rest
Passing ashes on from one generation to the next
We mark the future of oblivion’s crest
Will we wake from our slumber?
A mess of blood and fire
Casualties’ pile by the number
As mankind grows larger and dire
Can we hope for something better?
(Will we sink) even deeper?
Huh! How could we know the answer?
In a world in such a peril…
Can we hope for something better?
As mankind grows larger and dire
How could we know the answer?
In a world in such a peril…
At this rate we won’t make it for tomorrow
We can see what’s looming, holding our breath
It’s way too late for any kinds of regret
Square your shoulders and creep out of the gutter
There’s no way to dodge the deadly blow
We must repent and accept once this world is burnt
There’ll be no other one to go.
Will we wake from our slumber?
A mess of blood and fire
Casualties’ pile by the number
As mankind grows larger and dire
Can we hope for something better?
As mankind grows larger and dire
How could we know the answer?
In a world in such a peril

One Of Them
05:26
|

The sun is gone, dusk’s falling on the earth
Bonfires and maddening gazes, the human race is up for a dance
We have learned the steps, all following through the maze
Walk the paths, don’t be so hasty
There’s no way we can lift the trance
Everywhere we look, we can’t escape the fate
No hope to break the spell, not even a soul to sell
We’ve sought solace, (but) none’s given to ourselves
Only one wish in mind as we slip down the well
The dance goes on and on! …. and turns us inside out
It leaves us bare and soulless, hungry and rancid
The trance carries on and on! … And abominates us
Forget what you are, you’re not even born human
You were made monster by the words of men
The curses won’t lift as we are growing old
You’re trapped amongst the craziest of the madmen
Are you One of them now?
Who’s feasting on your own vitality, who’s drinking your blood
your soul is lost, shattered and crushed
The dance goes on and on! …and turns us inside out
It leaves us bare and soulless, hungry and rancid
The trance carries on and on! …and liberates us
Forget what you are and born you are damned
You were made monster by the works of men

The Stranger Within
07:51
|
|||
Under foreign skies an absurd quest begins
No counter curse to find but only memories to grind,
I pass by the faceless statues of my different selves,
And thru the mess I redefine the borders of my mind.
Once you’ve gone beyond yourself,
You will meet what you’ve despised… huh!
So much hatred resides in me, makes me ugly and vile,
And it forms a thing … a thing I’ve tried to hide
Growing deeper and deeper, sometimes it takes over me
It creeps in and turns me in a complete stranger
Once you know how to hate yourself,
You will see what you really are!
Blank face reflects and stares at me
Tries to see beyond my eyes;
Tries to find the stranger within;
Tries to tell and expose the lies;
I look in the mirror
and I try to see beyond my eyes;
Try to find the stranger within;
I grin and smile to all those lies;
I’ve escaped myself and went thru emptiness.
My blood turns to black, my essence is wasted;
See the remnants of my inner self :
I’m emptied from within and thorn apart…
It’s time to recollect and walk again; the quest’s still underway
Make peace with what’s inside and erase what I’ve done.
Once you’ve mated with nothingness,
You’ll be hailed amongst the soulless.
I can do without him; I can fight his will,
And then I shall rise and kill the stranger within
Once you’ve gone beyond yourself,
Once you’ve mated with nothingness,
Once you know how to hate yourself,
Only then you’ll be free again.
