1. THE LAST DAY

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... everything is laid down to sleep,
No more misery, rubbled mountains piled high as far as the eye can see,
The ground is white the sky is black, everything starts to freeze,
No one left to carry on, the world is on its knees, cry no more,
End is here, in their souls, restless fear, music's dead,
Air waves cleared, Mother Earth disappears, everything is now calm,
The Sun is out of sight, clear blue days are no more, now begins the
Endless night, the ground is white, the sky is black,
Everything starts to freeze, No one left to carry on, the world is on
Its knees, bodies lay across the ground, mutilated parts are found,
talk is cheap but actions not for the answers we have sought,
Death forever seals their eyes, nevermore the Sun will rise,
dusk on the last day.


2. RESURRECTION

Fade away the sorrow we've gained, risen today ready to play,
Grieved by some moments of pain, playing to survive is our only way,
Sacrificing days just to be free and you put judgement on our attitudes,
We are here to prove you wrong, just for today 'cause the past is gone,
In the city for night and day, making it big to the future rage,
Helpless minds won't control our style, civilian rules can't be bought
On stage, sourced by power are to be obtained, burned to ashes,
Yesterday's pay, times are hard, but we don't care, 'cause when we want,
We'll just take our share, being anything we want to be, living life
Only some could dream, pushing forward only to succeed,
We won't be bought by power, money or greed, all we want, to be accepted,
All we need, resurrection, all we want, to be resurrected,
All you'll see, resurrection.


3. FROM A MAD JESTER

Crossing the desert, aiming at the lands, nobody wants to be heard,
Chasing the enemy, purpose of destiny, nobody needs to be earned,
Flying for freedom, circulating legions, there's
No way out of this game, fighting obsessions, endless discussions,
Who needs another hall of fame, no need for reasons, just out of
Seasons, aiming for their field, blowout their mind shields,
Tortured anxiety, useless pain city, population deserting their pride,
The homeless is dying, soldiers are trying, misery is forcing them to
Hide, people are missing, tanks are refueling, only the leaders need
To know, if war's a gesture, then the Gulf's danger, how could we
Afford another show, among this living, seek anxious breathing, bullets
Are crawling, victims are falling, brainstorming the eager, there's no
Room for peace here, since when have we started to pay, thunderbolts
And lightning, missiles for fighting, we better start praying today,
If choppers are our income and we're paying for our freedom,
What about the holy man inside, if he surrenders, the sooner the better,
Unless that this fucker dies, war without boundaries, war without greed,
Only hearing laughter by some evil jester, Saddam.


4. WE CANNOT LIE

We cannot lie! Hopes and dreams are all we see, trashed and burned by
Reality, work all day to afford the pain,unjustified for what it gains,
We live our lives and all its worths, takin' not pleasin' from a
Fucked up world, why should we live for someone else, there's not enough
Time to please ourselves, we cannot walk, among people leading plastic
Lives, we cannot feel, those who suffer for their pride, we cannot talk,
Denial, guilt and fear blinds all they say, we cannot lie, this is the
Way we are and this you can't deny, we will do all that we want in our
Own way, cannot, even if you try your best it's not enough, lie,
Feelings are the only thing that you cannot hide, when we walk,
You feel, when you talk, you lie.


6. TAKEN FOR GRANTED

"Everyday we complain about technicalities and dreams of a perfect life
Built upon material wealth, while in foreign lands, people die faithfully
For their own religion, how can we walk so blind while the cures of
Survival are taken for granted."* Soon the silence is all that I will hear,
Forests burned to ashes, no one smells the fear, open wastelands, growing
Day by day, reflections of the past slowly fades away, can I accept the
Hate growing inside myself for you, you choose, look at this world you
Have wasted, destroyed, burned down, extinct, too late, you've been misled
By your system, I am the one nature's creature, you're takin' it for
Granted, think for millions, while polluting the streets, try to do what's
Right, all you do is people please, close your eyes, ignorantly led,
Putting importance in the back of your head, can you escape the hate growing
Inside yourself for you, you lose, look at this world wasted, destroyed,
burned down, extinct, too late, you've been sustained throughout your life,
I am the one nature's creature, you're takin' it for granted, many things
I will see with my eyes, not for one though will I die, years of useless
Progress guides my sight, another day, another foolish lie, can we accept the
Hate growing inside our minds for who, empty, look at this world you
Have wasted, destroyed, burned down, extinct, too late, "People are much
More interested in the prospect of profit than the promise of Heaven,
People are much more interested in the prospect of profit
Than the promise of Heaven, people are much more interested in the
Prospect of profit than the promise of Heaven."*
