1. ALL THAT'S BORN MUST BE DESTROYED

The excess of history is dangerous to the present
History is worth knowing if you rewrite it yourself
Purpose of the past was not to weaken the here and now
To undermine, degenerate, mummify life itself

You can only justify yesterday by what is highest today
What is highest today

The false sense of pride in an inherited legacy
Where history of your lineage becomes the story
Fabricates the past, the present and future
Saturates mindsets with audacious arrogance

One must have the strength to break up the past
And wield the present for a superior life

Past is worth condemning
The only rule for mortals
The law of evolution

Evolution (x2)

Past is worth condemning
The only rule for mortals
The law of evolution

All that's born must be destroyed (x4)

Destroyed (x5)

You can only justify yesterday by what is highest today

You can only justify yesterday by what is highest today
What is highest today

All that's born must be destroyed (x3)


2. WASTE OF MY RAGE

Hate me, nothing gives me more power than your loathing
Bring me down. I’ve seen a depth of darkness that you
Will never be able to grasp even in your - darkest hours

The harder you hit me, the higher I will rise
Pressure’s what turns a rough stone into a diamond

Wasting the force that you do not have trying to
Push me down, so let this tension be heightened

The harder you hit me, the higher I will rise
Pressure’ what turns a rough stone into a diamond

By laughter do I slay
You are a waste of my rage
Since I’ve learned to fly
I’ve not needed pushing
To move from a space

The familiar tune that you wished me to whisper in your ears
Yet another piece of contrived image that’s here today
And tomorrow like most of others, it will - disappear

By laughter do I slay
You are a waste of my rage
Since I’ve learned to fly
I’ve not needed pushing
To move from a space

The harder you hit me
The higher I will rise

I set my own destiny

No one makes or breaks me


3. THE HEIGHTS

Doubt befalls me, burns my faith to ashes
This long haul crushes...

Doubt befalls me, burns my faith to ashes
This long haul crushes my soul

You watch as I dig my ashes
Away from below, lower than low
In my mind trust, has no meaning
Justice is lost, so I'll let go

Doubt befalls me, burns my faith to ashes
This long haul crushes my soul

If you never stood by me as I ascend,
Don't anticipate standing by me
When I conquer the heights

Zeal overflows, as I outgrow
Pave my way through darkness
No beam of light comes into sight
One journey no destination

If you never stood by me as I ascend,
Don't anticipate standing by me.
If you never stood by me as I ascend,
Don't anticipate...
The heights

Every minute, every hour, every day (x2)

Every minute, every hour, every day
That passes is a mystery to myself (x2)

Had enough of futile attempts
Trying to define myself (x2)

If you never stood by me as I ascend,
Don't anticipate standing by me
When I conquer the heights

Doubt befalls me, burns my faith to ashes
This long haul crushes, crushes, crushes, crushes my soul


4. MIRAGE

Gone are the days of strong convictions and unity
When the heart and the mind remained in synchrony
Sky was pale, the soil black, no grey shades in between

Every step dreamed of moving a mountain

Can you recall when darkness was not fearsome
Shadows at dusk, gazing far were so sublime
Ghost Reflections on brick walls, so mischievous
Imperfections undreamt of, yet congenial

One day rapture departed
Found yourself fainthearted
This tune is all that’s been left
Aspirations were aberrations

Do you recall the day
Darkness was not fearsome (x6)

Passage of time blinds the eyes with uncertainty
Caution destroys the pleasure of bewilderment
Vigilance, a human trait that obscures

Mountain or a mirage
The melody still remains (x8)


5. FEELS LIKE SUFFOCATION

Born in a condemned society, in chain
Adjourn the cycles of communal pain
Constrained by surveillance into your mind
Survival’s a necessity, you're blind

Exert yourself
It’s a new form of slavery
Now give up cause
They’ll ridicule your Bravery
Exert yourself
It’s a new form of slavery
Now give up cause
They’ll ridicule your Bravery

Drift into a deflated sense of bliss
Point of destruction no room for debate

Exert yourself
It’s a new form of slavery
Now give up cause
They’ll ridicule your Bravery
Cause you’re a fool
You’re a fool

Don’t you know that No price is too high
To pay for the privilege of owning oneself?
Don’t you know that No price is too high
To pay for the privilege of owning yourself?

Of owning yourself

Owning yourself (x11)

Swim against the stream and you will always be alone (x3)

No price is too high (x4)
No price is too high to pay...

Owning yourself (x4)


6. THE MYTH OF PURITY

No pure unit that's imagined, as an ideal, exists
No organism has an intrinsic consummate naturalness
The quest for consistency, and you dread the transformation
This existence accommodates pestilence, disease

Celebrate a phantom of purity
Fabricated ideal of divinity

The quest for consistency, and you dread the transformation
Contradiction, inside outside, what defines you and I

Celebrate a phantom of purity
Fabricated ideal of divinity

Annoying observation
Cause of my frustration
That we must seek salvation
Shaping stupid fictions
Believing that they are facts

Disintegrate, send in exile, who you view as hostile
Eradicate, slay the noise, break the communication

Celebrate a phantom of purity
Fabricated ideal of divinity

Annoying observation
Cause of my frustration
That we must seek salvation
Shaping stupid fictions
Believing that they’re facts
Believing that they’re facts
Annoying observation
Cause of my frustration
That we must seek salvation
Shaping stupid fictions
Believing that they’re facts (x5)


7. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BEING INTERESTING

I’m not interested, in being interesting
Just to interest people like you

Words I'm about to utter
Are a direct consequence
Of your own narrow mindedness and your futility

Thought I had left a blinkered
Doctrinaire society
To be part of new world order
With free will and autonomy

But it seems for your ears to hear - me scream
You also want to take the role of being my puppeteer

Let me put this damn straight
Even a fascistic Dogfuckinmatic system could not - box me in

You can’t give this a chance, at first glance
Because you’re confined to your prejudiced stance

I’m not interested, in being interesting
Just to interest people like you (x2)

I know myself, do you know me? No?
Then just shut the f*ck up

Past the point of no return
Now I a’int turning turning my back

Don’t care if you’re not turning up
Or if you just turn me down

One dictator
Another
Rather have haters like you

But it seems for your ears to hear - me scream
You also want to take the role of being my puppeteer

You can’t give this a chance, at first glance
Because you’re confined to your prejudiced stance

I’m not interested, in being interesting
Just to interest people like you


8. BY DEFAULT

Always takes a disaster
To awaken a deep slumber
Now you see the threat creeping
Day’s not far the planet dying

Sea levels rise
Ice liquefies
Children die
As we defy
It is just human blunder
And it turns the earth asunder

Deny a ruinous condition

Tell me why
We deny
Time flies by
Frosted eyes
Yearn for heat
Faint Glances
Tainted minds

So you will turn a blind eye
Until the end of time draws nigh
Cause it takes a disaster
To awaken a deep slumber

Deny a ruinous condition
We’re drawn in our own self affliction

[Chorus:]
End the era of mythology
Not a trace of ontology
Long given up on theology

No time for apology

[Chorus] (x2)


9. THE VOICE

Neda natars, Neda bemoon (x2)
(Neda fear not, Stay with us)

Neda bemoon

Neda fear not
Stay with us
Neda fear not
Stay with us (x3)

There’s no cure for this plague
Epidemic disease, outbreak

Taoon ra alaaj marg ast o bas
(The only cure to plague is death)

Dark ages of lunacy
Perpetual scrutiny
Smothered the will
Our will to mutiny

Taoon ra alaaj...

Remedy for a flawed soul?
Dragged us into a black hole

Idiotic virtues, Fabricated values

Neda natars, Neda Bemoon

Dark ages of lunacy
Perpetual scrutiny
Smothered the will
Our will to mutiny

There’s no cure for this plague
Epidemic disease, outbreak

Bore a hole through the stone
Fought with her flesh and bone
Slurred and defamed by birth
Remorse will forever remain

Remedy for a flawed soul?
Dragged us into a black hole....
Idiotic virtues, Fabricated values

Taoon ra alaaj marg ast o bas

Bore a hole through the stone
Fought with her flesh and bone

Neda fear not
Stay with us
Neda fear not
Stay with us (x4)


10. THAT WHICH IS HUMANE

Hours they go by
Seasons of decay draw neigh
We’re the chosen ones
They cast a spell on our lives
Now we’re carried
Carried with the tide
There is no place
Nowhere left to hide

Conceive, Envisage, Dream
Question, Doubt, Seize

Liberation ensues when you gaze
Into the stars, unchain the beast within
Embrace that which is humane

Embrace that which is humane

Liberation ensues when you gaze...

Faith masquerades
As the anchor
Rancid trace of rot
Lingers on

Faith masquerades
As the anchor
Rancid trace of rot
Forever lingers on

Faith masquerades (x4)
Embrace that which is humane
Liberation ensues when you gaze...

Quest for absolution
Won't ease the pain
Of existence
Affirmation brings
Liberation (x4)
Affirmation brings
Liberation
