1. SCARRED BACK

I can't take this anymore
All the wounds on my back
Start to itch so bad it hurts

Lie, but do it face to face
All those childish accusations
I won't hear you bitch again

Pretend to be
My protecting shield
In reality
You're my enemy

Just to twist
And stain my name
If you insist
Take what you asked for

Battered and bruised by the
Lies opened wounds of past
Rusted words fall from your mouths
I should've never
Gave you all my trust
Let time bury you in scar tissue

Why did you have to stir the shit
My turn to pour the bucket
On your neck how does it feel

Cry, now that you know
what you made me go through
All that hate you cannot take

...Scarred Back...


2. WITHERING PEACE

Ignorance to our disbelief
As leaders make the murder scene
They silence us, can't disagree
Mentality blinded by greed

A struggle without happy end
All that you can do is defend
You're humanbeing stuck in a trench
Your m16, the only friend

The bullet that separates you and me
Is one shot that should've never been
Still to protect our own beliefs
We pull the trigger against the peace

Wither, wither, wither away
One life doesn't matter anyway
I cannot see a warless day
The war will never wither away

Dying for honor glorified
But not for what is truely right
Thousends of men killed on the fields
Insomniatic sleepless nights

The dawn of war it is the time
To be a part of perfect crime
We're counting down step in the line
Load up your gun, the peace is dying

I won't help you build this warmachine
Don't want to be part of this bad dream
I'll make my own choice and i'll decline
I won't follow, not this time


3. CORRUPTION EARTH UNITED

False morality
It's our reality
Why don't you practice what you preach?
Our new currency
Dead body policy
Now join the battle on the streets

Violence this twisted paradox
Warships leave from rusted docks
Bombers, fighters all airborne
Our whiteflags to be torn

Architech building the walls
Illusion of paradise
Preventing approaching calls
Different views of the parasites

Now as they wage a war
Against humanity
Stakes getting high for you
Can't stand the heat?
Corruption earth unite
For neverending fight
Driven by hunger and creed

Once when you go too far
There is no turning back
You can't rule earth with
The brains that you lack
No final resting place
We couldn't live in peace
Praying for countless days
Into demise it leads

My one last word
Covered in dirt
Buried alive
And never be heard
We have the throne
Not one above
Soon leader thrown away
Still pray for a better day

Each time we thought it was over
It withers like a leaf clover
When the cold winds of war blow
We're weak to it's power

Campaing of blood and oil
Our bodies decay on foreign soil
In crude black stained the red white and blue
This war is from money, not me and you

No utopia, no euphoria
It was all just a dream
To hide the enemy


4. SUBSTANCE OF HATE

Feelings, rule our actions,
Everyday the are present but invisible,
What you feel is, what you are,
Your anger made you, go that far

Take a chance and push me...

See, all that you have done, how ?
(This all went wrong again)
Heal, all that was is gone now..
(Because of your repent)
See, all that you have done, how ?
(You realized too late)
Heal, all that was is gone now..
(It's time to tame your hate)

Tell me, how does it feel,
Do you feel the adreanaline
Flow through your veins,
You're the blazing spark on, my gasolene,
You're the one who makes my hate burn clean

Sinking further into my thoughts all of them look twisted And distorted
Wrong seems right, right seems wrong
My eyes decieve, what I actually feel

The substance of hate
Is like one plus one
My fist is the first
You're the other one

I can't speak my mind
Too much hate in me
I let my fists do the talking
No more emphathy

Yur world crumbles
Burns to ground
Who will save you ?
You're deathbound

Colours, shapes and
Sounds are gone
Who will take you,
Be the one ?


5. SMOKESCREEN

Straight from a tube
A perfect society
Perfect desing
A perfect picture
The perfectness we crave
Perfect clear future
Molded for our use

From the TV-screens we see
Perfect lies
Unperfect dies
Perfect solutions for your cries
Perfect product made for your desires

This cannot be (Malfunction)
Security Breach (No reason)
No need for panicing
We got things under control

System is hurt (repairing)
Roots a bit burned (covering)
No need for explainingv it's better that they do not know

Chasing through pictures
And layers of sound
Look for no anwsers
Just questions we found

I stand on the edge
It's a long way down
Leaping for freedom
Escape from the loop

Staring at my only friend
Feeding messages at me
The Flickering and blinking screen
your working mind will meet it's end

Brainwashed minds
With perfect thoughts
In perfect peace
In perfect line
With perfect smiles
Pre-spoken words
They speak for perfect world
Without own will

From the blackened screens we see
A perfect black
A perfect end
Perfect chaos
Perfect scent
Ingredients creating perfect
Blend

Who's hidden agenda is this
Who am I working for

Staring at my only friend
Feeding messages at me
The Flickering and blinking screen
Your working mind will meet it's end

The glaring light is blinding me
Propaganda zombifying
Hidden messages to see
Smokescreen for your petrifying


6. HOPE

Desolate streets,
Dust fills the air
Faceless metropolis
Strangers pass by

Tightly shut hearts
Will not give in
We must make changes
It's time to begin

What made all
Seem worthless
Is now forgotten, in past

Our downfall
Our own fault
But it is not too late

Even if world keeps spiralling
Down in the drain,
There is still hope for us,
Ray of light through the rain

Take all those wasted days
And make the best of them
Wipe off those tears and
Show that you can rise again

As we proceed
Remember to breathe
Taking for granted
The good things we've seen

Our static lives
Of routine and schemes
If this is so perfect
Then where are your dreams

Help me to get out
Of this desolate state of mind


7. ISOLATION

A distant room, in near view
I'm locked in and kept out
From their world,
From their lives,
Wasting days, stuck missing time

There are five locks,
On the door,
Every key has been lost

Forget or unlock
Not my issue
There's no way out for me
Stuck in captivity

The world keeps drifting further
From my grip,
The sand of time flowing through
My fingertips,
If i could taste freedom once more
On my lips,
I'd brake my cell's door and leave
All of this shit

Isolation, I must escape
Prison cell in mind it's time to brake the wall
Isolation, it's not too late
You don't have to pretend you will see me crawl

I don't care, of their rules
Of their of their thoughts, meanless lives,
Pointless goals, hollow souls,
Stupid roles, im not one of them

Still the five locks,
On the door,
Every key in my hands

Discard or unlock
It's my issue
There's one way out for me
No more captivity
