INCURABLY ILL
Terrorizing rule
echoes of ruthless shots
men used as mere tools
to kill cops
Fear of accusing
fault not to be excused
hints are still refused
I am waiting for States to act and take
revenge, because innocents mourn
Up to now we have always seen
those who dared brandish a sword
die and leave hearts torn by grief
heroes alone can’t win this war
No escape
after being involved
in a frightening bloody game
only monsters can play
Politicians winning seats
as long as they protect
the cancer grown inside government’s spine
Extortion racket
drug smuggling, tons of the money
quickly cleaned by Swiss banks
la Mafia says thanks!
I’m waiting for states to act and break
connections across the whole world
Up to now we have always seen
those who dared brandish a sword
die and leave hearts torn by grief
heroes alone can’t win this war
heroes alone can’t win this war
UNDER THIS GROUND
Another boy is lost again
under our horrified eyes
one by one are swallowed and
what we hear are parent’s cries
a weekend with drunk friends
and your ride home is a funeral march
can’t you see it makes no sense
to blow your head and drive your car
High velocity comes in control of their vehicles
their reflexes decreased by deafening noise
irresponsible youth back to town from the farest disco
treating danger as the new exciting toy
I doubt you’ll have fun under this ground, I really doubt it
I doubt you’ll have fun under this ground, I really doubt it
let’s see you dancing as the bells sound
Senseless way for you to die
is your life worth just a dime?
one day is left for goodbye
forever you’ll pay for your crime
After a too long night spent in wild thrashing
you feel no pain and your brain is washed away
overnight heroes put an end to this abusing
you crash and burn and death is the price you pay
I doubt you’ll have fun under this ground, I really doubt it
I doubt you’ll have fun under this ground , I fuckin’ doubt it
let’s see you dancing as the bells sound
Senseless way for you to die
is your life worth just a dime?
one day is left for goodbye
forever you’ll pay for your crime
CHAINS
Make it out, is your life a real thrill?
find out things that always make you sick
screaming out frustrations kept inside
… do it now! Do it now! Do it now!
breaking out of oppressive…
Jails, clouding keen minds
instincts restrained by invisible…
Chains: express your own personality!
Make it out, did you decide your destiny?
pointing out mistakes you made on your way
bringing out the best you got inside yourself
…do it now! Do it now! Do it now!
breaking out of oppressive…
Jails, blinding hungry eyes
instincts restrained by invisible…
Chains: express your own personality!
Chains, Chains, Chains, ouch!
PER-SO-NA-LI-TY!!
CAGE OF SINS
My mind keeps on showing scenes, I don’t want to see
dry tears of my soul did flow again
and I’m sure the unwelcomed dawn will wake me sore
cause I know that you can change your role no more
who else’s to blame? Can’t hide this shame
Wounds can’t recover when lovers lie
Rain is falling and fades a poem that was nice to write
Words are not enough to tell the pain I feel
’cause I know what you’ve done to kill our dream
sentenced to live in the cage of sins
Wounds can’t recover when lovers lie
Rain is falling and fades a poems that was nice to write
Wounds can’t recover when lovers lie
Leaves are falling while your eyes look as cold as ice
COLORS
What color are you God?
What side are you on?
Sure you’re conceiving love?
We are born to wage wars!
Check it out from your high throne
Rabid dogs sinking teeth into skin
Hear the screams getting closer
Everyone is smelling like xenophobia
What’s the color of the earth tomorrow?
We’ll all be acting like avengers
Thank you god for our planet
Tell us why some people are dark and some bright
Sure you meant just one community?
This difference is spinning the world against its own run..
What’s the color of the earth tomorrow?
We’ll all be acting like avengers
Disagreeing words sound so hollow…
(no one wants to take the blame)
what’s the color of the race to follow?
…By extreme prejudice…
What color are you God?
What side are you on?
What’s the color of the earth tomorrow?
We’ll all be acting like avengers
Disagreeing words sound so hollow…
(no one wants to take the blame)
What’s the color of the race to follow?
THE DEAF AND THE BLIND
Can’t move a step you’ll get outta bounds
Can’t run away from the fire
Besieged and bolted it can’t be life
And you wait for the twilight coming on…
Struck bodies that lay down on the ground
Victims of hate whose aim can’t be found
Can anybody stop these fights?
We play the deaf and the blind
Torture and slaughters on TV screens
Use the remote everything’s alright
Peace keeping countries can’t change things
How can they be so blind not to see…
They’re killing their race, brothers will die
Their god will follow in silence from the sky
Can anybody stop these fights?
We play the deaf and the blind
Does anybody hear children crying?
We play the deaf and the blind
They’re killing their race, brothers will die
Their god will follow in silence from the sky
Can anybody stop these fights
We play the deaf and the blind
Does anybody hear children crying
We play the deaf and the blind
ULTIMATE SOLUTION
Lovers carve names in the sand
I wrote our ones on a rock face
Now that you’re gone words they stand
I’m climbing again chisel in hand
Pain carved my soul with a slash
Pain carves a ditch of foundation
How many tower must crash…
… down until the ditch is deep enough
to hold up my tower, this desperate hour
the toil and the pain
the anger I stand to… must end!
Cutting off the wires is cutting my veins
I’ll put out the fire with blood like rain
Wringing out my heart rather living in pain
Back from the start doing it all again…
How could you do that? We were as one,
just like a mother and son
Bonded by one cord you forced me to bite
Bonded by blood you deny
I can but love you, thanks for conception
Even if living is pain
But your love soon died in separation,
It’s never to rise again…
Birth is pain, life is pain, life is death
Mother you killed me, may forget
May you be fulfilled, slow down the run
May we end less worse we can, death at once!
I DON’T KNOW WHY
Evil minds and bodies got hold of the feelings
I don’t have any more
So do try to forgive the excuses and silly lies i tell
I’ve forgot the joy of living for somebody to love
giving them all
The stolen kisses, the forbidden words
that nobody wants to say, nobody wants to say
I don’t know why my own ego is lying
I don’t know why I deny what i feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
Free from passion I’ve become a slave of myself
Free and not feeling love
Cynicism put you in a second place with me
And nothing is gonna change
Mental chaos is keeping me from being certain
of what I am looking for
Only you can make me understand
what nobody wants to say, nobody wants to say
I don’t know why my own ego is lying
I don’t know why i deny what I feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
Help me trying to stop my dying
Give me reason and be my guide
I’ll never pretend again and again… if you help me…
I don’t know why my own ego is lying
I don’t know why I deny what I feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
I don’t know why my own ego is lying
I don’t know why I deny what i feel
I keep playing myself in a game that is over
Help me trying to stop my dying
CHALICE OF INSANITY
Why ruining your life acting foolish prayers?
Sacrifices, ritual and homicides
Drinking animal blood with no sense of shame
‘Till the bottom of the chalice will start to shine!
Unspeakable secrets that make you a slave
What’s the meaning of this absurdity?
I can understand the feelings
Blood injected eyes growing high
I do comprehend the reasons
The insanity of their minds…
How can your state of mind be healthy and free
When even your best friends may attempt your life?!
How can your state of mind be healthy and free
When even your best friend can put you on a bier?!
I do comprehend the reasons
The insanity of their minds…
How can your state of mind be healthy and free
When even your best friends may attempt your life?!
How can your state of mind be healthy and free
When even your best friend can put you on a bier?!
