Politricks 01:31
Tired of listening to the lies And bored with daily life I’m breaking all the chains While questioning my sanity Isolated in towers of indecipherable speech Men of power develop misconceptions of living Problems are presented as solutions Anxious masses fall into ruinous paths again Wounded but not dead I demand for real answers Tired of the silence of modern moral fables
2.
It’s today that counts And we’re working for a better tomorrow Fighting, falling and learning Each day at a time Uncertainty is the bread we eat And rage is the grain we spit Bounded in adversity We don’t walk alone So let tomorrow come We won’t be sitting quietly waiting We’ll take matters into our own hands Together we will make it right We carry no flags We need no masters We know what we want The road we choose to walk A path of bumps and holes A thounsand times we stumble That only made us came back stronger Our lessons we have learned To all the generations that struggle everyday We can’t spend life pointing fingers It’s time to make a difference Freedom is our heritage With heart and soul we protect it Against all injustice we fight Striking opression’s, the game we play We don’t take shelter in mediocrity We won’t go with the flow Our active minds won’t fade away Spreading around the seeds of change We stand together We won’t give up We stand together You won’t bring us down

You told it once, you told it twice I couldn’t believe it and I didn’t even care The kind of things you have to say Are just the products of a delusional fucked up brain And if you really had the chance What would you do? To make a difference, go against the grain What would you do? Man, I’m really running out of patience To listen to all the bullshit lies that you’ve got to say You better shut your mouth You better go away boy You better step aside Get the fuck of my face right now! Just tell me something I don’t know Anything different from the worn-out speech I hear all day And if you really had the chance What would you do? To make a difference, go against the grain What would you do? Man, I’m really running out of patience To listen to all the bullshit lies that you’ve got to say Your beat up words just get on my nerves A sharp needle sticking in my brain A piercing sound scratching on my mind A nagging migraine bursting in my head Don’t know when to stop Moving on thin ice You’re stepping out of line A never ending nightmare Can’t hear you anymore Hardest pain in the ass Just so full of shit You’re such a boring fucker You better go away boy Get the fuck out of my face right now!

Scavanger 03:54
More destructive than a hurricane A gracious beast storms in Controlling every movement Of the tired weary man Under the skin a wish for power He's got murder in his eyes Lurking behind deceitful manners Lay the heinous ways of greed An ambitious monster A monster without a soul Hunting on a feeble prey To satiate cupidity A relentless prowl takes place A scavenger, a scavenger The emperor of a rotting land A scavenger, a scavenger The horrid splendour of decay A scavenger, a scavenger The vilest creature you'll ever find A scavenger, a scavenger Yes, you will fall like all the rest Standing on your throne Gorging on the misery Faint shadows strive To escape their destiny A thousand million hands Submerged in agony A multitude is destined To become your carrion
5.
No Plan 02:25
Walking down the streets With his head bowed down Each day more discontent With misfortune Consent to play a game He could not win All dreams have been destroyed Nostalgic fictions help escape reality There’s no plan, just survival Oblivion helps going Through one more day Close your eyes and turn your back Still you can’t escape The voices from the past shout questions That remain unanswered Entertain the mind With thoughts of better days The walls close in And it gets harder to breathe Subdued voices raise in the same direction And you feel the pressure Try to run away From confusion Escape the mess That breaks your head But you know there’s no simple way So you will rest your arms down That’s how the story ends
6.
Walking in the opened trails of youth Searching for light in the darkest rooms Decisions taken, squandered chances Mistakes were made, no complaints Time erodes even the hardest stone Lessons learned serve as redemption As a reminder of a heedless time Along the way reaped what was sown No more regrets It’s time to throw the past away behind our backs The sound of laughter A painful remembrance A distant memory of the sweetest days Now the walls are empty painted Just pictures to remember what was lost Portraits of the good old days Spread a bitter taste all around Gone moments that won’t come back Forever trapped in the scars of time
7.
A violent thunder, a blaring roar Defiant voices climb the skies Ferocious words and gestures Strike the lasting stale horizon Shake the face of the Earth Side by side, resolute minds Trapped in the womb of iniquity Reject the sterile muddy plan A myriad of vacant prospects The quintessence of misery Watch out your back They are coming for you So raise your head You know you are right There are so many truths Just visions of the world I’ll keep hanging to my beliefs And fighting for what’s right A gilding scheme, a failed intention Defeat is ours but we don’t care We strike our fists against the Wall Deny the vicious powers Denounce the strength of lies Another bomb, A violent attack Falls on our heads With big impact To set confusion To break resistance We all overcome And nothing can stop us
8.
Wake Up 03:44
Hey, can you hear the violent hum? The building’s quickly crumbling down Caught in a furious storm Spreading rubble through the land Living our lives so recklessly A catastrophic fate we share Standing in line compliantly On a self-destructive path There’s no more time to lose Wake up, wake up, wake up, Now! This silence is such a torture Wake up, wake up, wake up, Now! Time’s quickly running by Wake up, wake up, wake up, Now! We’ve got to fight our way out Wake up, wake up, wake up, Now! Now, dark clouds invade the valley And man persists in ignorance Neglects the danger of his actions Denies responsibilities We sit and wait for better days The ones that never come We lose control of our own lives Renounce the chance to make it right

Misery Road 03:16
There’s a man Who walks along a tortuous road Unable to find the wonders That he has been told Just turned is back and walked away From the surrounding frenzy Ignoring the blissful anthems A hollow life could not concede And as he strayed alone Through the road of misery A sullen shade creeping Abandoned to his thoughts Suffocated with sorrow Tormented by a ruthless life Secluded inside a lonesome cage He resisted… Sitting all alone In a cold and desolate place The clock kept ticking But he couldn’t keep up with pace Refusing to live a lie Decided to finish last In the race for life His unshaken convictions A token time could not remove
10.
The alarm is sounding Failed operation The rats are safe Inside luxurious layers Who pays the price? It’s you and me Indifference makes us Partners in crime Broken System We’re fucked up again! Stretched the limits Foundations collapse The structure is quickly falling down Who’s fixing it? The ones who racked Have we learned something from this mess?
11.
The world is spinning Just like my head A state of doubt controls my mind A million questions to be answered A maze of endless confusion When I think I found my way Something tells me that I’m wrong I strive and push every fuckin’ day To start again in the same old hole Day after day Confusion settles in A never ending struggle to keep lucidity To maintain my sanity Sometimes I wish I could just disconnect Stop the mess inside my head Just lay back and enjoy my life Not worrying about a single thing But the madness around me Keeps me alert all the time It’s just a lasting burden Breaking my joy Pulling me down
12.
In the march of progress So many fall behind Barricaded, isolated Behind enemy lines Under fire The hordes of men decimated And an easy target It’s everyone for themselves And all against each other These are the news from the front Corruption is the epidemic In the land of ignorance Devious leaders that don’t care We’re living times of trouble A few privileged hold the power Suffocating all the rest It’s such a sad state of affairs Civilization’s dying Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?
