Circus Of Fools : Raise the Curtain
Lyrics
1. BUSHIDO (THE PATH OF THE WARRIOR)
Dying heart and the rhythm of war
Coughs of the lungs, breaking out of the core
Bring their blood to a rolling boil
Red is the color of this no-mans soil
Red is the color of this no-mans soil
I know there won’t be an escape
From this path of war,
When nobody suffers on this god-forsaken shore
I know, I don’t want to be that guy,
So I kill, I kill, watch young children die
People, people, criticize, disconnected, cold as ice
The eclipse of nothing wise, feeding from the little lies,
Starving from the lack of love, not surviving this catastrophe
Drugs in constant overdose, despair is the only choice,
Be so kind, give that rose, Name the child before it goes,
Starving from the lack of love, not surviving this catastrophe
2. WALKING THE FINE LINE
In every corner
In every shadow
In every silence
in every scream
In every scream
I’m never alone
This is the end of disclosure,
My solemn epiphany
It is time to take over
And end this distinctive toxicity
In my head there is a force, holding me back
Crying out for courtesy, painting it black
It’s like a matchstick flame, warm but not enough
I need to light the fireworks, i won’t give up
Ana, Anathema! Be my sin…
Ana, Benediction! Get under my skin…
Ana, Anathema, give me a sign!
Ana, Benediction, walking the fine line
In my head there is a force, holding me back
Crying out for courtesy, painting it black
It’s like a matchstick flame, warm but not enough
I need to light the fireworks, i won’t give up
Ana, Anathema! Be my sin…
Ana, Benediction! Get under my skin…
Ana, Anathema, give me a sign!
Ana, Benediction, I’m scared
walking the fine line
In every corner
In every shadow
In every silence
in every scream
In every number
In every scale
In every daylight
in every dream
Ana, Anathema! Be my sin…
Ana, Benediction! Get under my skin…
Ana, Anathema, give me a sign!
Ana, Benediction, walking the fine line
And now the devils circle
Has come to an end,
She screamed and scolded
And claimed to be my friend…
Never let her out again
I’m Free!
3. VISIONS FADE
You’re falling down into a deep black hole
You lose control, you’re a sinner, black as coal
Leaving all behind, living in the shade
Nothing’s what you wished for,
When visions fade!
Crows circle above the dead
Rats are crawling among old bread
Flees feast in a baby bed,
This land is dark, this land is dead
Take a step back and listen to your heart
Isn’t it a crime, what is your goal
Because some one says that skinny is beauty
You won’t start eating at all
Because you feel nothing,
You’re trying to cut out a piece of your soul.
Why that sudden honesty
Yet you never let out a word to me
Stand up fight, it’s never to late
Raise your fist, be proud,
Darling you’re a beauty,
No dead-lands, wipe away the darkest clouds
When visions fade!
Your island is a treasure,
You need to keep it safe
Floating with the northern wind
You thought that would be brave?
Stand up fight, it’s never to late
Raise your fist, be proud,
Darling you’re a beauty,
No dead-lands, wipe away the darkest clouds
4. REINSTATE
We have the power, we need to act as one
Overthrow, overcome, no fear, no hate,
Rebellion!
We are legion, the anarchistic reign
We against the system, lets reinstate!
This day of strife, this day of revenge
Finally it’s our time to shine
Our ideas, utter, so intense
Your force will forever end ever decline
It’s the end of stupidity
It’s the end of ignorance
Today marks the start,
No silly mistakes
„The dawn of a new world“
His last words before we kill all the snakes
We have the power, we need to act as one
Overthrow, overcome, no fear, no hate,
Rebellion!
We are legion, the anarchistic reign
We against the system, lets reinstate!
Marching into freedom
Remember the demon
The gunpowder treason
Fear this legion
Remember, remember the fifth of november
And we keep on fighting until down is up
March into liberty
Remember your history
No more misery
Our is is the victory
Remember, remember the fifth of november
And utopia will be, will be once again
It’s the end of stupidity
It’s the end of ignorance
Today marks the start,
No silly mistakes
„The dawn of a new world“
His last words before we kill the snakes
We have the power, we need to act as one
Overthrow, overcome, no fear, no hate,
Rebellion!
We are legion, the anarchistic reign
We against the system, lets reinstate!
5. ROLL THE DICE
Let’s play a game together!
We roll the dice,
It’s an unfair game,
You’re the venom crawling through my vein
Don’t play nice,
You know the aim,
Only cheaters or chance can win this game
We are the tricksters, telling lies
While you mock about that chinese sack of rice
You think they rule, do they pull it?
Think again my little muppet,
There is a master behind each puppet
Intimidation, being a lier and ever a close call
That’s what you need, you know
Money makes sexy as hell!
This is entertainment until the margin call
This circus goes around until the last fall
6. THE MARCH OF THE PUPPETS
Feed us!
I’m the one hiding behind my PC
I like to swear, „anonymous“, you see?
I’m his daughter, solarium brown
My parents told me, I’ve to fear „their“ colored gown.
I’m this unlucky, middleclass guy
I’m just angry, and a little bit shy
I’m here, because of my friends,
Yeah, we’re the people and we are against…!
This is the march of Puppets
Blind, deaf and dumb
We’re the people!
Trying to reason just makes us numb
Feed us!
Feed us!
Feed us simplified lies,
Teach us naivety, your tales are nice!
Hate makes us strong
Just give us a fiend. In rank and file, is that wrong?
Feed us your simplified lies
Our fiend is the open mind
We are the silent ones
Asking loud to be fed to the guns
And the sun goes down above the occident
We are our own horizon
It’s always easier to follow a lead
And revel in our own greed.
7. ELYSIUM
This is the end of our road,
Finally we can rest our feed
The sky above us clears into blue
Blackbirds are singing our melody
We fought bravely,
Fought side by side
Blood and tears were
Always at our side
Misfortune
Marked our path
The fear of death,
More logical than math
The world is a battlefield
Life is a constant fight
We want to rest our heads
Think nothing, feel quite
We fought bravely,
Fought side by side
Blood and tears were
Always at our side
Misfortune
Marked our path
The fear of death
More logical than math
Cold and repellent
Is our state of mind
All we want is a little love
Find someone who is kind
This is the end of our road,
Finally we can rest our feed
The sky above us clears into blue
Blackbirds are singing our melody
This is the end of our road,
Finally we can rest our feed
The sky above us clears into blue
Blackbirds are singing our melody
8. HALO LIGHTS
Oh I’m so worthless, no one wants to see
Warm breath clouding before my mouth,
Clouding before my mouth
My fingertips are frozen
And in the paper cup are two dollars and a half
I’m sitting in the hall of a shopping mall
It’s two days before christmas
And no one seems to care
People running by,
Oh I’m so fucking cold
But they are frozen,
Frozen inside!
It seemed as if i had no chance
To survive these next days
And than I saw that light, that halo light, down the hall
Sometimes people are so beautiful
Sometimes an angel is watching over us
Sometimes we cannot understand
But suddenly there is that saint!
I always dreamed of becoming a model
But this is not the way, not the way
Now I’m waiting for the next car to stop
I’ve enough of fat, ugly guys!
Sometimes people are so beautiful
Sometimes an angel is watching over us
Sometimes we cannot understand
But suddenly there is that saint!
Sometimes people are so beautiful
Sometimes an angel is watching over us
Sometimes we cannot understand
But suddenly there is that saint!
9. ROME IN FLAMES
Through a veil of tears,
It’s a glimpse into the face of time
We had an eternal dream
And all the things we shared
Honesty became a task
Your thoughts as oceans deep
’Course I would understand
But did not try to cope
Birds fly away when seasons change
Seeking shelter, watch men estrange
Where has all the beauty gone
Your heart is cold as stone
Forgotten, forsaken, lost our greatest aims
Idle was our dream, why hadn’t we foreseen
Live fast die young, when rome is in flames
Now with old memories
It seems the end of a bumpy road
Perception changes
And all the things we felt
Honesty became a task
Your thoughts as oceans deep
’Course I would understand
But did not try to cope
Birds fly away when seasons change
Seeking shelter, watch men estrange
Where has all the beauty gone
Your heart is cold as stone
Forgotten, forsaken, lost our greatest aims
Idle was our dream, why hadn’t we foreseen
Live fast die young, when rome is in flames
Where has all the beauty gone
Your heart is cold as stone
Forgotten, forsaken, lost our greatest aims
Idle was our dream, why hadn’t we foreseen
Live fast die young, when rome is in flames
10. SALOME
They never cared,
They never shared
Always took you for granted
You’re invisible
You’re miserable
Loneliness was implanted
Girl became soon
Young woman
And the loneliness was gone
They wanted you
They needed you
You are their black swan
You are their red dawn
So childish and lascivious
So seductive but ingenuous
Please darling, please
Don’t relinquish your last veil
You’re dancing with the devil Salomé!
You: proximity
They: promiscuity
Innocence is an ambivalent word
They would kill
And lose their will
For you they raise their sword
For you good and bad are blurred
So childish and lascivious
So seductive but ingenuous
Please darling, please
Don’t relinquish your last veil
You’re dancing with the devil Salomé!
11. REBEL CLOWN ARMY
Be angry with a smile on your face
Fight the authorities, fight for your space
Fun is our way to cope with the tears
Let’s be free, wipe away all our fears
This is the army of eligible and supreme joy
Jump around like no one cares
Wear the clothes, no one wears
Be a bird of paradise
Be a fool, shine and rise
Love thy neighbor,
Diversity,
Nothing to shame for…
Socio, anarcho surgery
In a world of constant pain
We are the rainbow colored monks
Non-washable, cynic stain
Anti stereotype punks
Red’s my nose, play the brass
Sorry sir, thats my footprint
On your perfect round,
Expensive high society, white ass
Bloodless fists in a bloody fight
Mockery is my strongest sword
Kiss the cops dearly goodnight
Storm the scene as a peaceful horde
Pink’s my hair, pound the drum
Excuse me, i hate overdressed,
Self-complacent and self-righteous,
Ever glutton, first world scum
This is the army of eligible and supreme joy
Jump around like no one cares
Wear the clothes, no one wears
Be a bird of paradise
Be a fool, shine and rise
Love thy neighbor,
Diversity,
Nothing to shame for…
Socio, anarcho surgery
Never be a violent turd
Be as different as can be
Make the use of force absurd
Be that annoying little flea
Red’s my nose, play the brass
Sorry sir, thats my footprint
On your perfect round,
Expensive high society, white ass
In a world that fails to smile
We are a broad chelsea grin
The only real and fair trial
The only one we’ll ever win
Pink’s my hair, pound the drum
Excuse me, i hate overdressed,
Self-complacent and self-righteous,
Ever glutton, first world scum

13. RASPUTIN (THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SERENITY)
We are devoted to materia
Feelings died for Suburbia
When will it be,
The end of it all
Decadence has
Tired us now
And we keep on asking
When comes my call
We have forgotten
Our Mephistocle vow
Decadence has
Tired us now
I am the fury, I’m Rasputin,
I am the Ocean, deceiver of pain
I am puppeteer to gods and to kings
I am the long forlorn story of sin
And the sun sets, reality has gone
Colors are brighter, my body turns to stone
Heaven opens the Petrus gate
And I’am falling down into hells crate
Into hells crate
Into hells crate
And the sun sets, reality has gone
Colors are brighter, my body turns to stone
Heaven opens the Petrus gate
And I’am falling down into hells crate
Dying heart and the rhythm of war
Coughs of the lungs, breaking out of the core
Bring their blood to a rolling boil
Red is the color of this no-mans soil
Red is the color of this no-mans soil
I know there won’t be an escape

When nobody suffers on this god-forsaken shore

The eclipse of nothing wise, feeding from the little lies,
Starving from the lack of love, not surviving this catastrophe
Drugs in constant overdose, despair is the only choice,
Be so kind, give that rose, Name the child before it goes,
Starving from the lack of love, not surviving this catastrophe
