Betrayers Of Humanity
04:20
|
|||
|
Banned from the land, of milk and honey
The trust is gone, why did it take so long?
Existential fear – condemned to crash
Government and banks, betrayers of humanity
Feed their greedless mouths, with the power of money
Voracious oppressors – no respect
Facing the truth – your system has failed
Awaiting the hour of retribution – betrayers of humanity
Facing the truth – your system has failed
The hour of retribution – betrayers of humanity
Standing on the edge
Neverending lies, show no liability
Compulsory acquisition, the fortune is gone
Shattered dreams, a pile of broken glass
Economical crisis , the streets are on fire
Nationwide riots, the end of an era

New World Order
04:53
|
|||
|
It is the plan of the leaders of the world
Bring mankind under one global command
Total surveillance of the masses they seek
The ascension of evil shall be fulfilled
Opiate the masses with terror and fear
Freewill controlled with brainwashing tv
Slaves to an illusion of a trustful state
To offer the rise of a fascistic regime
This is the rise of the new world order
Rule the world with an iron fist
If you won’t fight for your freedom
There will be no more sense to live
Spread disinformation to separate the world
Infiltrate the opposition to divide and prevail
Secret bases to imprison the resistance
Distant memories come to your mind
Fight your identity with repression
Paralyzed humans with ambiguous minds
A chip to control your brain and spirit
Psychological warfare inside your head

Planet Parasite
05:02
|
|||
|
The peak of materialism we’re constantly reaching for
Scavenging the resources, as they would be our own
Selfish waste of mother earth, as there will be always more
Walking into the abyss mankind lost it’s crown
Welcome to planet parasite
Blindly raping everything we find
Nature will erase us - no remorse
Grains of dust – we are not more
Endangered species we became throughout the centuries
Pushing to the limit, without looking back and forth
Destroying our planet for our own profit
Bite the hand that feeds us, all respect we lost
The greed of the human race, it will never end
Pollution of the environment, a venom for our health
Blindness will not save us, from our own extinction
Sooner than later, we will pay for our guilt

In Shadows They Hide
04:40
|
|||
|
A lovely morning with the sun in the air
A dark secret will strike the earth
Clouds of destruction will darken the sky
History will be changed today
A conspiracy of unthinkable dimension
The fate of the world revealed for power
The world is trapped in a state of shock
Tremendous agony’s the price to pay
Henchman of evil on a one way ride
Obey the masters – in shadows they hide
Do the betrayal and help them to rise
Promising them free tickets to paradise
A monumental lie to deceive mankind
Black flag attacks to justify a war
Taking the loss of thousands of humans
To rule the planet with lies and fear
The wrath they seed inflames the nations
Their greed will feed the road to ruination

Big Shot
03:39
|
|||
|
Glossy lips, designer clothes
Plastic tits, big fat house
Wasting money, useless things
Puppy dogs, diamond rings
Limousine, high-heel shoes
Small talk, drug abuse
Party time, camera’s on
No panties on, the headline’s done
Missing love, forced success
No childhood, loneliness
No regard, emptiness
Psychiatrist, show business
Big shot – driving you
A little further into insanity
Big shot – terminal stop
Straight into the mental home
Bursted ego, alcohol,
Solitude, shallow world
Funny pills, anxiety state
Intoxication, it’s to late

Rise And Fall
05:09
|
|||
|
Unleash the gates of hell
Mankind in narcosis
Fed with manipulation
The birth of new-age slaves
Wake up - show no fear
We’re voting for string puppets
Owned by a few masters
We don’t realize the farce
Confused by their deception
Search the truth - no more lies
You will rise - but we resist
Can’t bring us down - so you will fall
Don’t believe the media
Read between the lines
Stand up for your freedom
Tear down the wall of lies
Knowledge is the key
This is what they fear
Spread the word around
We have to take control

The Hourglass
04:43
|
|||
|
I’m sitting here alone, I am waiting
I choose this path alone for a long time ago
My soul is feeling numb, can’t stand the pain
No more power to fight against the undertow
I closed the door, there’s no return
I feel despaired, no one can understand
I need some help, but it’s too late
The hope is gone and soon there’s no more sand
This darkness in my head
I hear the sound of the melting sand
There is no time left here
The hourglass reminds me of my end
The mirror shows a shell, no soul inside
Stare into my eyes, I’m fading away
The path is getting narrow, out of this darkness
At the end there’s no crossroad and no turning back
The hourglass is running out of sand
My time is up
I cannot stay
I’m lost and gone
Check out of this world, with all my pain
I see no sense for me, here to stay
I lost the fight, against myself
I’ll leave you all, you all behind

Fade Into Oblivion
05:07
|
|||
|
You are roaming
in the endless darkness
You hadn’t the possibility
to choose
You are marching
like all other marionettes
Run into destruction
on command
No hope - just pain
Everything you’ve done
seems to be forgotten
Like a dark shadow
You will fade into oblivion
On a mission
Without hope
Sentenced to fail
and not coming back
Now you’re trapped
in this dark black hole
Nobody will ever
searching you

Gods Of The Sun
03:06
|
|||
|
Million of years we came to you here
From outer space with weapons you fear
A race of slaves was our mission
Your evolution was our creation
Technologies to manipulate your brains
Feed on your souls, controlling your minds
Rip off your planet in a reign of blood
Under the surface the hate rises up
From the sun, almighty gods, hail your creators
On your knees, worthless slaves, we’re the gods of the sun
Your revolt awaked the wrath of gods
Destroy your culture, erasing the past
All wiped out, nothing’s left behind
Centuries later it starts from a new
Fight - Fight - Fight - Revolution

The Privilege Of War
03:16
|
|||
|
The curse of religion evoke another conflict
Both sides are carrying the provocations - too far
Abusing faith to justify another act of violence
This warmachine is driven by blindness
The vindication of belief feeds the machine of hate
But no one has the privilege to start a holy war
Sending bombs will provoke another reign of terror
Innocent victims fall to prey to the root of all evil
Pulling brutality beyond imagination
Back-stabbing tactics to decimate the unbelievers
Once they were brothers but now they’re blinded by rage
All together captured in the presence of fear and death
