01. See The Signs

I see the signs of a corrupt nation
Living off the blood of humanity
The poor got nothing and nowhere to run
And the rich got more than they know
What to do with

Yeah, don't you see the signs?
Got our homeless on the park bench
With nowhere to go

Yeah, don't you see the signs?
There's people suffering everywhere
And no one seems to care
Yeah, don't you see the signs?
We got our children begging for money
With no food to eat
Yes, it's true!

I can't believe it (no!)
I can't believe it
I can't believe
The signs I see (no!)
I won't receive it (no!)
I won't receive it (no!)
We go to end the misery

I see the signs everywhere I look yeah
People try to escape through material game
I look around at society
I can't stand what I see

Stand up, stand up and fight
Don't be afraid, freedom's your right
Revolution set yourself free
This world belongs to you and me

02. Eyes Of Tomorrow

God damn alarms are ringing in my head
Wake up world or we're all gonna wind up dead
Look around I see the hate and the greed
Lifestyles of the rich still people dying in need

Wake up world things are gettin' serious
I'm looking at the future and it don't look too good for us
If we don't take the situation at hand
And spread a message of peace all throughout the land

Cause I'm looking through the eyes of tomorrow
And all I see is misery and sorrow
Desperation and despair everywhere
Reactions of a system that just don't care

Greedy politicians leading people astray
They just want more money they don't care what it takes
Polluting the earth destroying the environment
Building bombs for war and killing the innocent

My mind's in a rage they got me living like an animal
They're feeding off human lives just like cannibals
Killing the planet and everything on it
With their chemical waste dumps and nuclear power plants

Our tax dollars are killing people overseas
Still people dying at home but no one hears their pleas
It's time we the people take their power away
We can't let this madness go on another day

Keep the youth dumb and numb to the state they're in
Keep 'em fighting each other selling crack, coke, and heroin
Mind controlling the masses with TV and the media
What they let you hear don't mean you're free you know

Revolution in the mind but the body must follow
Cause I'm looking at the future through the eyes of tomorrow

Yeah

Take a look at what they've done
How can we let this madness go on
Through the eyes of tomorrow its very clear
No turning back is we don't start right here

Must stand up, know we must stand up

Don't want their dying world of injustice and pollution
We got a solution time for revolution
Must pave the way for a brighter day
They won't give it we gotta take it
Our lives are at stake

A barren wasteland is the price we'll pay
If we don't stand up and fight for the world today

Must stand up, know we must stand up

You see them cutting down all the trees
Poisoning the air, the land, and seas
Destroying the planet and all that it's worth
Just for their moments of pleasure on earth
Their hunger for power would be all our end
If we don't stand up and fight now my friends

Take a look at what they've done
How can we let this madness go on
Through the eyes of tomorrow it's so very clear
There'll be no turning back if we don't start right here

Here we go time and time again
The rich man keeping the poor man in line again
You must be blind cause you keep on following
Them and their system straight to you grave

Your minds in a cage you're just another slave
To false values and false ideals
Peace of mind so hard to find
They got us living on the edge of such coptic times

We need a planet without war or greed
Healthy environment clean air to breathe
Equal opportunity and justice for all
United we stand or divided we fall

03. The Other Side Of Madness

Walking alone in the cold dark night
Got a chill in my bones no relief's in sight
So much time spent with revenge as a thought
In this life alone so many wars I've fought

Oh leave what you know behind
I will take you
Beyond the limits of your mind
So take a trip with me
To the other side of madness
So close to the edge
The other side is madness
This ain't no fantasy
The other side is calling me
So take a trip with me
Tell me if you think you really dare

Try to hold on just for sanity's sake
So many so-called friends turned out to be fake
You better hope that there's a better way
Than me as the hunter cause you know you're the prey
Oh leave what you know behind
I will take you
Beyond the limits of your mind

So take a trip with me
To the other side of madness
So close to the edge
The other side is madness
This ain't no fantasy
The other side is calling me
So take a trip with me
Tell me if you think you really dare

Come on yeah I'll take you there
The place where your nightmares live
Pain and fear is everywhere
You get down on your knees and you start to pray
You know you might never see the light of day
Oh god oh god what you gonna do
There ain't no running away when you're calling is due
Oh I've gone over the line
Hatred is taking over my rage is making me blind
Oh I want to live in peace
But there are those
Who would make the mistake
Of invoking the demons in me

You get down on your knees and you start to pray
You know you might never see the light of day
Oh god oh god there's nothing you can do
All of your worst nightmares are coming true

When I look up into the sky
I ask no forgiveness for we all have to die
But one thing that I know
Is I came to take your soul

Oh yeah

Days and nights of frustration
Have taken their toll
The blood is boiling in my veins
I'm out of control

04. Apocalypse Now

A divided nation in these times of hate
So much racial tension say it's not too late
Won't you please god save us all
Won't you please god save us all
See the prophecies of things to come
Can the human race exist as one
Or the fire of disaster be the final doom
All in its path it will consume ‒ fight back
Our happiness will turn to sorrow
Will we live to see tomorrow?
Put the power of evil back in line
Won't be crucified no not this time fuck no
Fight back for all

See where you stand know who you are
In your heart
Yeah

05. Paths Of Perfection

Quest ‒ searching for the answers
Seek ‒ the meaning of your life
Truth ‒ in knowing life's perfection
Now ‒ as infinite as time

Be free from your mind ‒ and travel through time
See what you'll find ‒ fly free
The essence of true living
Loving ‒ life and all its worth

Peace ‒ and transcendental knowledge
Knowing ‒ heaven 's here on earth
Sight beyond sight
Peace from inside
Beyond all time

Now you see the truth is just a little bit closer
Closer than you ever guessed
Now you feel the proof is just a little bit closer
With every single breath
You see the truth is just a little bit closer
Closer than you ever guessed
Now you feel the proof is just a little bit closer
With every single breath

06. Victims

Victims of forgotten wars
Forgotten lives
No one ever hears them cry no
Fallen soldiers under crimson sky
No one ever wonders why

The tanks come rolling in
You know they just can't win no
The politician lies
Innocent people die

A mother watches as her baby dies
A soldier starts to wonder why

Look up into the sky
Hear the bullets fly
Don't feel the horror in their hearts
As bullets tear their lives apart

Bodies burning in the madness
Can you still believe their lies?
Look around at the pain and the chaos
Smell the corpses putrefy

For some so called righteous cause
So many victims die
For the gains of the rich
So many poor must die
No feelings for the pained
Drowning in pools of blood
Never hear the mother's screams
Uncovering her dead child's limbs in the mud

Is a heroes welcome received
When he returns from war
Or just the pain and confusion
Of a guilt that he can't ignore

Unleashed weapons of destruction
Slaughtering the innocent overseas
A soldier comes back half a man
Begging for handouts on his knees

Oh those medals don't mean nothing
To you anymore
It was all for some rich man's gain
Now ask yourself what for

Sticks a needle in his arm
To help him ease the pain
Still hearing the screams of his dying friends
He searches for a vain

Mother stares out in the dark
Still remembers her baby's smile
Calling out her child's name
Living in total denial
The pain has reached both shores now
The system stays the same
Don't you see that we're just pawns
To their power games

Oh we won't take it won't be victims
Of their war
No we won't take it what have they
Got us fighting for?

We're just the victims of their war
We're all the victims of their war

07. Kuruksetra

Got to find a solution
To the battle raging in my heart
Timelessness it seems
Has no place in the movement
That we all must know
Nothing seems too clear
Illusions seem so permanent
When you doubt or think you're in control
You have the key to free the knowledge
The knowledge that was with you all along
Set it free then you'll see
We've forgotten truth and what we're living for
Forgotten answers
You know it's not as simple as it seems
So now through great revelations
Wisdom that will wake us from our dreams

I feel the conflict that exists within me
It's something that I can't control
Many other souls have battled in these realms before me
Always been a struggle in my heart to be free
Looked so far
Where else could I go?
Had to come to the answers
That's all I know

08. Changes

So much confusion in this life I've been living
It makes me wonder what I'm searching for
Reflections of my past present and future
Things that always seem to haunt my soul

Born and raised in the slums of the world
One side of life is all I've ever known
The hard core truth it's a struggle for life yeah
That's the only thing I've ever been shown

Gotta find the key to free my mind
Could it set me free?
Is it so hard to know
You can look but will you find

Oh my god
I just can't lose control
Deception of the blind
I try so hard to find the answers
But I know that it's in my heart
Now I know that I shall come to see the truth
As I drift into my dreams

Got to make the changes
Out of darkness into light
Cut these ropes that bind us
Hope the truth can free us from the pain

I try so hard
To find the answer
But I know that they're in my heart

We've got to make the changes
First we have to look within
We've got to make the changes
It's a place we must begin

The changes must start in my heart
To find the answers
