Meteora : Our Paradise
Lyrics
1. CHAINED
Brought to the court, the liar
Desecreted their holy ways
Heretic is the Master
Ban the books, feed the flames
’And yet it moves’
Held in the dark, not a glimpse of sunlight
Now, will you place your trust in me?
Blinded, rooted by the chains surrounding you
Rejecting all different views
Open your eyes, shake off the chains
The funeral of our minds can’t befall again
Rather be slave on false lands,
Than sail in the storm of truth
Only a few take the stand
Questioning ancient rules
Fear of the dark, but a glimpse of sunlight
Now, will you place your trust in me?
Climbing, crawling, the wardens’ eyes following through
You can feel that he is you
Open your eyes, reach for the key
Time won’t stop even if we live in the past
Open your eyes, shake off the chains
The funeral of our minds can’t befall again
Denying what we can’t understand,
These shackles of society keep us from progression
Chained by doubts
Where certainity is just a dream
Open your eyes, just reach for the key
Time won’t stop even if we live in the past
Open your eyes, shake off the chains
The funeral of our minds can’t befall again
2. AFTER THE CIVIL WAR
Mother put your children to sleep
Protect them, from all disease
In vain... They were born to the wrong place!
You need to be strong,
Until hard days are gone.
They were born in the wrong age!
So I raise my fist, to Tyranny!
Took my life, made my sacrifice,
For freedom, I gave my life!
The day is here,
You will be free.
From all despair,
That hunts your dreams.
Just carry on,
You have to live for your child!
What will you give?
To stay alive
Need to sacrifice
Patriotism, values and moral
To live on you need to deny your past
To stay alive
What will you give?
Will we die?
No one's left behind,
To tell the world
These wild, dark times.
If there is someone staying alive
Can he recall as it was?
No, it can't be,
That all hearts are
Spilling blood in vain
Yeah... it is like that,
It is all the same!
All revolution are followed by strafe.
The day is here,
You will be free.
From all despair,
That hunts your dreams.
Just carry on,
You have to live for your child!
What will you give?
To stay alive
Need to sacrifice
Patriotism, values and moral
To live on you need to deny your past
To stay alive
What will you give?
What will you give?
To stay alive
Need to sacrifice
Patriotism, values and moral
To live on you need to deny your past
To stay alive
What will you give?
To stay alive
Need to sacrifice
Patriotism, values and moral
(March to die)
To live on you need (march to die to tyranny) to deny your past
(March to die)
To stay alive
(March to die)
What will you give?
3. MIND SANCTUARY
It’s time to make up the rhymes
To a life left long behind
Be the words my guests
And the ink to attest
Welcome to the theatre of lies
The drama of my life
Dear little boy listen well to the true tale
When the first light
Shines through dark cloud
I am safe in here
In my Mind Sanctuary
His only wish to break the gyves
Imposed by the High Court of Mind
That dwells inside
He launched a journey
In quest of the way back home
With high hopes what to escort
You can’t change the screenplay
Or ask for a short delay
You’re only given the lines
Either play it wrong or right
Welcome to the theatre of lies
The drama of my life
Dear little boy listen well to the true tale
Never make the same mistake
Playing roles only work for those
Who act on stage
But the wage is too low to deny and ignore myself
When the first light
Shines through dark cloud
I am safe in here
In my Mind Sanctuary
Will they take you?
Or leave you alone,
In slow decay.
You’ll face your own fears
Or stumble in your sins
So you lost control
I’ll live my own destiny
It’s shaking ground, raging sea, its now history…
Now it’s just history
When the first light
Shines through dark clouds
I am safe in here
In my Mind Sanctuary
Welcome to the theatre of lies
The drama of my life
Dear little boy remember the true old tale
For the precious time I’ve lost
I make up ’cause I paid its cost
The price of salvation
4. SCAVENGERS OF VANITY
“The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.
The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.”
Max De Pree
Mindless lambs praise the butcher!
Sacrifice your dearest daughter
Dig your head deep in the sand
Our fairytale is at hand.
Driven mad by power,
It’s all their hearts desire.
Enough are empty words,
You follow the bleat of the herd.
Ignorant, helpless prey
None may disobey
L’état c’est Moi
Oh naive lambs, resound the butcher?
Can’t you hear the screams of slaughter?
Many have died for the freedom of speech,
Tainted democracy ain’t what we seek
Mainstream corruption, hidden truth
Denying all they can not undo
Disagree, felony
I am the remedy
Oh naive lambs, resound the butcher?
Can’t you hear the screams of slaughter?
I am the Maker, forger of fates.
The one to close the infernal gates.
Don’t ask, don’t think, wander in the mist,
’Till all your doubts cease to exist!
I am your God
Just praise my name
Forevermore
Oh naive lambs, resound the butcher?
Can’t you hear the screams of slaughter?
5. SCARLET MOON
True patriots, mislead souls
Uncovered graves of a million
Without names on
„Come here son,
Shake a hand
In honor of your dead,
For the virtue of man.”
We obeyed all commands
Followed path of scarlet moon.
Our life is like an endless night
But we’ll see the dawn to come.
Children of the scarlet moon,
A fallen leaf for each mans life
We are fighting for our land
By winter it comes to an end
True patriots, mislead souls
Uncovered graves of a million
Without names on
„I dont want your hand
You could have prevent
This bloodshed should not have happened.”
We obeyed all command
Followed path of scarlet moon.
Our life is like an endless night
I still wait to see the dawn.
Children of the scarlet moon,
A fallen leaf for each mans life
We are fighting for our sons
This shall make our will stay strong.
Ones count the loss
Blame others to pay the costs
Finding scapegoats for
Acts they want to ignore
But for a war
One is not enough
To be carried out
We did raise arms too
And this is what we cannot undo
Streets full of crime
Isn't that enough for us
Still we enter fights
On governmants’ behalf
We obeyed all command
Followed path of the scarlet moon.
Our life is like an endless night
But I see no dawn to come.
Children of the scarlet moon,
A fallen leaf for each mans life
We are fighting for our sons
But I can take no more
6. SHOUT TO EXISTENCE
Subjugation
Pollution
Exploitation
Just another footprint in our Nature
Out of Grace
No one cares
No one tries
This way we'll just slowly die
Endowed with might and glory
Obsessed with your monetary
World
Oh… Do you want to lie on fields
Where engines already yield with anger and mighty wheels?
Disregard is all that we’ve done
Disgrace is all that we are
No matter what’s at stake.
Can you have enough?
Or ever suppress the lust?
To preserve what you’ve got
We have to complete this task
You are only concerned at the 11th hour
When you scarcely can hear
Nature’s shout to Existence
When our great mother nature
Can offer no more resistance
Its time for breaking the system
Now
I see noble things,
Giving righteous speech, but till we are unwilling to accept
But till we are loth
To resign from gains
Nothing will ever change
Can we have enough?
Or ever suppress the lust?
To preserve what we’ve got
We have to complete this task
You are only concerned at the 11th hour
When you scarcely can hear
Nature’s shout to Existence
When our great mother nature
Can offer no more resistance
Its time for breaking the system
Now
Day to face
Day to care
Day to try
Destruction was never justified
Have you ever wondered if you have the right?
All that we dispose, not asked for still it grows
We have a lot we owe
It's aim to meet your need, but not your swollen greed
And provide a life of ease
You are only concerned at the 11th hour
When you scarcely can hear
Nature’s shout to Existence
When our great mother nature
Can offer no more resistance
Its time for breaking the system
Now
The Day of Reckoning will arrive
Pull our knees to the ground
And we just can’t fight
You can be sorry for all the harm and abuse
But nature will show no mercy, no excuse
7. AVERSUM
Every waken hour, every night
How could you leave without me?
Rhymes we used to write are hollow now
False notes of my life
Falling into a dream, death's sweet embrace
Hearing your screams, free me
All the sacred memories
Sharpened knives, tools of misery
Six feet deep you sleep, still no tears
Empty shell that remains
Falling into a dream, death's sweet embrace
Seeing your name above me
I can’t wait till my time comes
Now I have to make my own leaf fall
Falling into a dream, death's sweet embrace
Feeling you deep below me
In my life I lived for you
Final breath shall bring me to
Leave, leave it all behind
By your side
8. HERITAGE
“Black was the blood of the mother of Sorrow
Her love-child has her heart, disgraced hollow”
“Come Mother, see your fallen son”
“Divided in his broken heart,
Drown in tears of unborn eyes that
Cry for new life”
Redemption, Salvation
Come all the evils and free my soul from the
Cage of empty dying thoughts of
Crestfallen
Not the way of life
But the rules you apply
Are the ones to determine
Who you are
Come all the fallen and heal my scars from the
Burning blades of unknown world that
Seals my fate
In this life
To know what’s inside
To know yourself
Is the hardest thing ever
All through my life I was yearning for freedom and
Give away the half of my soul to achieve
Liberty
Come all the ghost of the unknown and rest in my
Shattered lonely blackened shell of
Flesh and Blood
I’m longing for some Light
I’m longing for freedom
My name is the unborn
My name is the Dead Boy
I’m longing for some Time
I’m longing for deadlines
My name is the blood crime
My name is the No One
All through my life I was yearning for freedom and
Give away the half of my soul to live
I will make you someone
With power through
Time and Light
I will make you someone
With own name
For Everyone
9. END OF ETERNITY
Nothing to live for, no one to die for.
This is the end, the end of eternity.
Do you remember days of the past?
Carefree laughter faded so fast
Immortal dreams of kings and queens
Childsplay now in cold reality.
Sanctuary of a fragile soul
Concealed heaven under scarlet moon
Breaker and forger of my chains
You weaved my fate.
How much is the cost of pride?
I’m screaming, I'm pleading
Silent voice for deafened hearts
Nothing to live for, no one to die for.
This is the end, the end of eternity.
No chance for rebirth, no hope for wonders
This is the end, the end of eternity.
I must endure this pain, and be whole again
Cleanse myself and reach serenity
Betrayed by the morning star
How should I walk down my path?
Trust lost forever, love left this world
Is romanticide my only way out?
How much is the cost of pride?
I’m screaming, I'm pleading
Silent voice for deafened hearts
Nothing to live for, no one to die for.
This is the end, the end of eternity.
No chance for rebirth, no hope for wonders
This is the end, the end of eternity.
I must endure this pain, and be whole again
Cleanse myself and reach serenity
Tear my heart, rape my soul
Bring me down, destroy me whole
Tear my heart, rape my soul
Bring me down, destroy me whole
Nothing to live for, no one to die for.
This is the end, the end of eternity.
No chance for rebirth, no hope for wonders
This is the end, the end of eternity.
I must endure this pain, and be whole again
Cleanse myself and reach serenity
No chance for rebirth, no place for bloodthirst
This is the end. the end, End of Eternity
10. OUR PARADISE
Whisperers, decievers
Promise you all your dreams
Then drain you dry while still believe
Blindly
Is it a sin not to fight?
Just wait for dreams to come alive?
No more stress for my part,
If higher powers write the story of my life.
Give us your freedom
We’ll enlighten the path
No one's born to be ruled in this life
Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones.
Let your own hands carve the path
For we make our own Paradise
Whisperers, decievers
Convince you they’ve got what you need
But in the end they sacrafice the weak
Dreamers
How will I face my conscience in the end?
If others dictate my course of life?
Will I be able to make amends,
If I ran away from all the strife?
Give us your freedom
We’ll enlighten the path
Ours’ is the only way
On your terms you shall fail
No one's born to be ruled in this life
Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones.
Let your own hands carve the path
For we make our own paradise
Through the life we are leading
In this world we all live in
Confide in all but yourself
And you shall burn in this hell
You feel you’ve given your all
You feel you can do no more
Don’t forget the hypocracy of hope,
Your best friend, mortal enemy
No dream can come alive
Without tears and sacrafice.
Standing tall, reaching for the sky
You will build your own Paradise
No one's born to be ruled in this life
Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones.
Let your own hands carve the path
For we make our own Paradise
No one's born to be ruled in this life
Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones.
Let your own hands carve the path
For we make our own Paradise
We make our own paradise
