Tracks



01. Strife

Trapped and frozen
An enemy to myself
These visions placed into my head
Hold me until I am deranged

Restrain, my freedom
Control the final breath
Make believe that I'm innocent
But the voices tell me I'm to blame

As I crave for truth
Overcome this strife
As I stumble through this darkness that is called life
Will I ever live?
Will I ever know?

Blind and muted
Pledged into a guilt
Despair becomes a part of me
A feeling that will never die

Time is fading
Reality turns unreal
Convicted to a life in pain
But the crimes I did feel so unclear

So unclear
So unclear
So unclear
So unclear

As I crave for truth
Overcome this strife
As I stumble through this darkness that is called life
Will I ever live?
Will I ever know?
As I stumble through this darkness that is called life

As I crave for truth
Overcome this strife
As I stumble through this darkness that is called life
Will I ever live?
Will I ever know?

02. Fifth Estate

I think, therefore I am
Why waste my life away

Your life is violated
By hidden eyes
Forever caught as a suspect
While freedom dies

They watch your every movement
Stomp on your rights
You believe in every promise
But it's all a fucking lie

Everything's a lie
It's all a fucking lie

By the hands of the system
This world is raped
We're betrayed by every falsity
Still we buy the fucking lies

We buy the fucking lies
It's all a fucking lie

They monitor your life
To restrain
You're under control
In these chains

Conducted to deception
You can't deny
Free speech is wrecked and wasted
Conform or die

Fall into mind-control
Say goodbye to your soul
Self-righteous dominance
Immune to consequence

Your privacy is shattered
You cannot hide
Confused and disconnected
And we buy the fucking lies

Everything's a lie
It's all a fucking lie

They monitor your life
To restrain
You're under control
In these chains

This world is built on corruption
To hold you out from the truth
It all will lead to destruction
While they're hiding the proof
A population enslaved

They're holding back every reason
Consuming you with despair
Dictate your mind to imprison
As you walk on unaware
Into the hands of the depraved

They monitor your life
Everything's a lie
It's all a fucking lie

They monitor your life
Your words
Your soul
You're under control
They hold
You back
They monitor your life
Your words
Your soul
You're under control
They hold
You back
They monitor your life

03. Bad Company

This constant feeling
My head is squealing

This constant feeling
of being alone
This loneliness is
Bad Company

Hated by all
No one cares
Give up, and
Walk with me in hell, my friend

I'm prepared
I'm all you need
I welcome you
To a black silence
I'm prepared
I'm all you need and
I welcome you

No intention
To seek what you need
Your only friend is
Bad Company

Hated by all
No one cares
Give up, and
Walk with me in hell, my friend

I'm prepared
I'm all you need
I welcome you
To a black silence
I'm prepared
I'm all you need and
I welcome you

Your head is squealing
It's all within you
Lean back and trust your
Bad Company

Hated by all
No one cares
Give up, and
Walk with me in hell, my friend

04. Blackened Mind

This pain inside
Chokes the light
Drains my mind till I'm insane
Time becomes
An endless fight
To find a way to feel again

Soon nothing to live for
I never want to serve
A blackened mind filled with void

A stranger I become
A stranger to myself
A stranger I become
Where do I belong
In a place where time stands still
Where do I belong
When my heart has faded

Falling
Dead inside
Falling
The end of the line
Crawling
Cold and blind

Empty thoughts
Hollows me
Drains away what I used to be
Death alone
Cannot fill
The darkness that lives in me

Soon nothing to live for
I never want to serve
A blackened mind filled with void

A stranger I become
A stranger to myself
A stranger I become
Where do I belong
In a place where time stands still
Where do I belong
When my heart has faded

Falling
Dead inside
Falling
The end of the line
Crawling
Cold and blind

05. Outsold

Living at a slow pace
Think new and you're a big disgrace
Do what you are told
This world is already sold

Your vote can only make very small differences
Everything lays in the hands of the banks and the oil companies
Which are very hard to please

Media makes you believe you're important
Manipulate, brainwash, they know how to put all the words in your mouth
And so you buy

Outsold
You buy
It's nothing you need, still you buy
Outsold

Live and breathe for them
Sleep and repeat again
Live and breathe for them
Sleep and repeat again

You sink deeper under controll
Deep enough to scratch your soul
Beheading law by law
'till they've got the longest straw

Your vote can only make very small differences
Everything lays in the hands of the banks and the oil companies
Which are very hard to please

Media makes you believe you're important
Manipulate, brainwash, they know how to put all the words in your mouth
And so you buy

Outsold
You buy
It's nothing you need, still you buy
Outsold

Live and breathe for them
Sleep and repeat again
Live and breathe for them
Sleep and repeat again

Pay
Pay
Pay
Pay

Live and breathe for them
Sleep and repeat again
Live and breathe for them
Sleep and repeat again

06. Rebellious Tendencies

Screaming out the remaining thoughts
No one listens
Now there's a fight
There's sorrow
There's blood
There are bodies on your way

Each day takes dozens of lives
Fighting so hard
Escaping the war
Never believed that our faith is to die this young

Don't you see that this will cause misery
Day by day - rebellious tendencies
Dawn by law - every prison's full - more to build
Spill the blood on the people that serve you well

Still alive
Gunpoint to my head
Still alive
Bullet through my head

Kill with a knife
Stabbing hard
Aggression pulsing in
My veins, my head
My blood is filled with hate

Each day takes dozens of lives
Fighting so hard
Escaping the war
Never believed that our faith is to die this young

Don't you see that this will cause misery
Day by day - rebellious tendencies
Dawn by law - every prison's full - more to build
Spill the blood on the people that serve you well

Still alive
Gunpoint to my head
Still alive
Bullet through my head

"One day to go"
Repeats my mind
You stayed for a while
To take us down

Blast, cluster bomb
Nerve gas
Mass grave overfilled
There's sorrow
There's blood
There are bodies on your way

Each day takes dozens of lives
Fighting so hard
Escaping the war
Never believed that our faith is to die this young

Don't you see that this will cause misery
Day by day - rebellious tendencies
Dawn by law - every prison's full - more to build
Spill the blood on the people that serve you well

Still alive
Gunpoint to my head
Still alive
Bullet through my head

08. There's Just One Escape

Misled into obsessive views
Bound down to self-destruction
Another day, another excuse
Fall for the same seduction

Rejecting every final truth
Battered by your own visions
Close the deals with a dispute
While building your own prison

Life becomes an endless ride - a dangerous ride
Two-faced, all lies, hide behind delusion

Time has come to
Break away your faith
There's just one escape
To die

Find new ways to kill your pain
Depend on the blank faces
It's too late to feel again
You realize your life is wasted

Life becomes an endless ride - a dangerous ride
Two-faced, all lies, hide behind delusion

Time has come to
Break away your faith
There's just one escape
To die

Watch as your life devolves
Your dreams becomes your weakest sight
The disorder you have found
Crushes you to your breaking point

No freedom to sustain
You leave yourself far behind
Separated from your mind
And desperate to find a way out

Now that your life is really empty
No surrender will lead you back
A helpless soul of no return
Fallen behind in pitch black

Life becomes an endless ride - a dangerous ride
Two-faced, all lies, hide behind delusion

Time has come to
Break away your faith
There's just one escape
You shall die
