1. THREE GENERATIONS SENTENCE

(You must not escape
You must not steal
You must immediately report
You must over-fulfill your tasks)*

Welcome to this world, my child
You were born where you shall die
I don't care what you feel
Little boy who forever kneels

In this place we're all the same
In our crib and our grave
We've made you live this way
What are you gonna do?

Through all your darkest days
You will curse your father's name

Freedom will come as a queen
Embraced with her wings
You'll see the things unseen
The spectrum of all shades
Will make you sad and gray
You'll never learn to live

Under the western star
In the spectrum of all shades
Insignificant you shall be
Under the falling sun

Through all your darkest days
You will curse your mother's name


2. ACT OF FAITH

Look at the face of Mary
Look into those mother's eyes
Have you already bought redemption?
Confessed all your sins?

I have witnessed persecutions
So called "acts of faith"
The crowd is never satisfied
Every man is holier-than-thou

Seven faces frowning upon me
I see their sanctified grins
Preachers set to play the game
I'm not the only one to tame
Now hear the gospel, know the rules
This religion ain't for fools
The only law out there
Is to divide and conquer!

Look at the face of Mary
And say how deep is your faith
I can smell the holy smoke
And see the purple dress
They will measure your obedience
Condemn if you don't conform

Don't conform!

The ten commandments
Shattered into a thousand lies
The blood of Jesus was spilled
To cover the altars of death
Wise men will always wander
Among the ruins of humanity


3. DERANGED

How many times have I tried
To rise above this world?
I could pay the highest price
To have a heart of gold

Distracted... Forsaken... Passive mind...
Inside four walls!

As I grew up in the gleams
Overwhelming shine of city lights
Discrepant voices screaming
Dissonances into my ears
A great scavenger ate my soul
They call it society

We wander around the globe
Intoxicated with lies
Living dead in forsaken towns
Where modern diseases combine

Words are the weapon of mass destruction
Information noise brings death
We are sharing pain remotely
Downloading cyanide

Information overload
From those fighting for attention
Inciting instincts
The animals inside us

Neurotics' suicides
In disabled minds
We're programmed to worship
The gods of broadcast

I no longer feel
I can't hear you anymore
Drowning in the sea of news
Reports from a mankind's fall


4. GHOSTWRITER

"If you know both yourself and your enemies
You can win a hundred battles without jeopardy
All warfare is based on deception
It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin"

In the middle of a battlefield
No one's asking for the reason
We have a mission for this land
To guard the eagle's nest

Out of the deepest gloom
Out of the silent screams
Thousands of souls
(awakened from pain)
They say it's time to fight
We know it's time to die
Like pawns in the game

But we won't write the lines of history
Only leaders shall be praised
No one will recall our names
For the winner takes it all


5. IN EFFIGY

The gathering starts again
Around the portraits set ablaze
Ancient rites of tears and pain
To purify the sinners' race

They paint the demons black
They curse the nameless ghouls
Let us wander to hell and back
Across the wastelands of human souls

Between the darkest minds
I see doctrines make them blind

The fire's burning high
Upon the wicked men
But there is only a thin line
Between the vicious and the right

Do you remember the days when we were young enough?
When nothing stopped us from being friends forevermore?
Do you remember what divided our families?
I can't remember why we keep fighting at all

This time I'm hiding for real
Don't wanna come back and see for real
My burning effigy
And hear the voices wanting me dead

...though I walk through the valley of death
I fear no evil, for I am myself
Light is coming to give back what you stole
Light is coming to me in the night

Between the darkest minds
Superstition makes them blind
The seeds have failed to reach the soil
And now the fruits are long gone

Between the darkest minds
I see religion makes them blind


6. AWAKEN THE BEAST

In the land of darkness
Light cannot pass the clouds
And winter is everlasting
Where demons protect the ground

He's sleeping in his throne
A black serpent, evil god
There's his bride without smile
What they breed is pestilence

The world that we live in
Shall witness revolution
Let us become the warriors' kings
And awaken the great beast
The world that we die for
Shall enter evolution
Let us become the warriors' kings
And awaken the great beast

The land of brightness
Is falling into abyss
We're at the point of no return
At the edge of sanity

He's waiting to be freed
A black serpent, evil god
He brings war, not consolation
When he comes, we will be scorned

Our fate is now revealed
All values eradicated
The world's turning inside out
The black god brings us renewal

The world that we live in
Shall witness revolution
Let us become the warriors' kings
And awaken the great beast
The world that we die for
Has entered evolution
We have become the warriors' kings
And awakened a great beast


7. YOUR DREAM, MY PAIN

Show me the world you live in
It seems to bold to me
Show me the world you live for
I want to know the way to my promised land

Tell me about the world you live in
It seems so good to me
You pretend you can fix everything
You pretend all is black and white

In the world of fairytales
You'll find your dreams collapse
Your evil mind decays
Your soul has gone away

You watch but cannot see
You listen but cannot hear
You touch but you cannot feel
The sickness you'll never heal

Your dream is my pain
Your ambition overwhelms
Can you really see the world down here?
You forgot it all after you sold us for gold

You shall pray unto me
And I will not forgive
There will be no salvation
Until you confess to me

Your dream is my pain
Your ambition overwhelms
Can you really see the world down here?
You forgot it all after you sold us for gold
