1. STORM THE EARTH

In times when kings rule without the support of their people
When politicians act for nothing more than their own, personal interests
When beauty is idolized and ignorance is worshiped fanatically
One must ask himself what line must be crossed for him to act,
Even at the cost of his own life, to create a reality worth living for
Personally, I'd rather change reality before reality changes me

You are not ready for what's coming


2. ACT OF GOD

Still burying our dead and yet we've learned nothing
Since Kain and Habel (sic) to present day
Our mothers weep as they're watching in horror
Their unborn child's epitaph, written by a filthy politician's hand

Ignite the world
In which we dwell
For ignorance now thrives
Endless wars
Immortal hate
Bow down to the god that taught you to hate
This is an act of god

Prayer's unheard
A flock of sheep to a shepherd's calling
So it was written, so it was done
Seven days created in ecstasy
And on the eighth day god created hate

Ignite the world
In which we dwell
For ignorance now thrives
Endless wars
Immortal hate
Bow down to the god that taught you to hate

This is an act of - god
You raise your finger but there's no one - around
You know you should point at your - self

"Fortunate is the man who did not heed the wicked's council
And in the path of sin did not stand,
And in the seat of insulters (sic) did not sit"
(Psalms 1)

Blessed the oppression who gave us the reason to fight
Blessed are the fathers who taught us to sin
Blessed are the leaders who led us to die just like rats
Blessed is the god that created hate

And on the eighth day god created hate

Ignite the world
In which we dwell
For ignorance now thrives
Endless wars
Immortal hate
Bow down to the god that taught you to hate
This is an act of god


3. BLIND ARE WE

You build walls
Walls to cover up the fact
That we're still so god-damn vulnerable
Fail-safe security systems
To befog our ignorance
Illusions to distract us from the fact that we're all animals

Rome wasn't built in a single day
Yet it was surely burnt to dust
And though we had come a great distance
Today can always be our last

And when you feel so insecure
That tomorrow the sun may not even shine
I will take your hand and guide you
Sometimes I wish I had stayed blind

And still we are
So god damn

You build walls of sand to cover up the fact
That it's still such a god-damn shame
To act like cave-men in the 21-st century
Fail-safe security systems
To keep us in a constant state of apathy
Illusions to distract us from the fact that we're all animals

Blind are we
Why can't we see ?
Blind are we


4. DOG TAGS

I've heard rumors of a day like no other when justice is served and it's coming
A day when gas masks are useless and shelters are no longer needed
I've heard rumors of an epic war drawing near yet no one's willing to fight
A day when questions are answered and lies are told to the ones you love
I've heard rumors of an epic war drawing near
Yet someone forgot to mention you pay it with your own life

Dog tags
You die in vain
Dog tags
Anonymous fame

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask why it should even bother
Good men are hard to find
But then again you should never discard
The military intelligence - two words combined that will never make sense
Possibly I've seen too much

To arms my brothers !
No questions asked !

Dog tags
You die in vain
Dog tags
Anonymous fame

He was just a small-time hero
In this primitive campaign
So gloriously met his unnecessary end

And if you need me
I'm not there
And if you're lonely
I can't care

Dog tags
You die in vain
Dog tags
Anonymous fame

No I don't fucking care


5. HUMANITY'S DUSK

The world is an explosive barrel ready to be ignited at any moment
Every day a mass amount of firearms and ammunition is manufactured
Capable of eradicating millions of human-beings off the face of the planet
And not only the mass murders are taking place each and every day
It's inevitable that one day we are all going to witness how history repeats itself

In 1986 we were reminded
Just how mysterious are the ways of the lord
Killing your own people with state-of-the-art warfare
Seems ironic to me

There in the place where dead angels lay still
In the cold north where disaster struck
Between the tombstones of hope and trust,
Is the fog of humanity's dusk

Acid raining down on innocent lands
While human-like creatures grasping (sic) for air
Seeking the answer from above is a foolish naïve plan

This cursed terrain on which we stand
With a blood-freezing scream it's warning has sent
The roaring of flames on deaf ears they fell
And now all that is left is that god-forsaken waste

There in the place where dead angels lay still
Between the tombstones of hope and trust
Spine chilling cold is the essence of life
Welcome my friends to humanity's dusk


6. REBEL

Turn on the news on your local station
There's bound to be something wrong
Another deed fueled by greed, lust or hatred
Seems like the end of the world won't be such a great loss

Rebel
Against the tyranny of one man
Let history be written with the blood of the strong
Rebel
With a white flag and a fist full of rage
Together we stand divided we fall

Luckily we had world war number II
So that Hollywood will never be broke
A time where good sense and reason
Were all just a big fucking joke

If we die here, let our blood paint the morning sky red
If we die today, may our souls rest in peace
If this is the end let history tell of men who died free
If we die here, no problem!

Rebel
Against the tyranny of one man
Let history be written with the blood of the strong
Rebel
With a white flag and a fist full of rage
Together we stand divided we fall

Divided we fall


7. ... AND THE WORLD SHALL BURN

In this part I'm alone
In a burning dream I see a world that is scorched
Through the ashes stands only a man
And he sings
The stage is set, lighting, sound check
And now let his words shatter the sky

We'll build smart bombs
Automatic weapons guided missiles
Technology that's good for taking lives
So while our heads are in the sand
We'll blame each other
The media will then ignite the future
And the world shall burn

Still he stands to his song
Black clouds began to pour rain that washes every sin
And now let every word ring crystal clear
Let the rain wash down the prophecy of a man that once was me

We'll build smart bombs
Automatic weapons guided missiles
Technology that's good for taking lives
So while our heads are in the sand
We'll blame each other
The media will then ignite the future
And the world shall burn

...And the world shall burn


8. JUST WANTED TO SAY...

Sometimes it seems like the righteous deserve to suffer
While the entire world praises the wicked
You told me, somewhat between deception and a lie
"If there's a way, I will be waiting"

And if you leave me on my darkest of hours
I won't take you back, people never change

I just wanted to say
That even if the whole world is wrong
It should still be amended

Blessed is the falling rain upon your undesired face
I'd give you the world if you would just take it

And if you leave me on my darkest of hours
I won't take you back, people never change

I just wanted to say
That even if the whole world is wrong
It should still be amended

I want you to know that I'm sorry for what I did,
From the depths of my heart
I truly want you to be happy no matter what
I know it's all water under the bridge
But I just wanted you to know, I'm a better person now
I learned from my mistakes and I'm trying to change my life
Take care, and don't lose faith in people

And if you leave me on my darkest of hours
I won't take you back, people never change
And just so you know, before you leave me
Your sit is right next to mine in hell

I just wanted to say
That even if the whole world is wrong
It should still be amended

And if the whole world is wrong...
