Intro:
teach disobedience
let the children know
that it’s their duty not to belief everything
their teachers, their preachers, their mothers, their fathers tell them
and get their minds confused
and get their minds confused
Verse 1:
implant the will to question
set their thoughts free and the world will be at peace
because the thoughts tear the barriers to pieces
and walls in two, the thoughts are free!
Ref.:
obedient people go to war
critical people preserve the peace
obedient people go to war
critical people preserve the peace
Break.:
teach disobedience
let the children know
that it’s their duty not to belief everything
their mothers, their fathers, their teachers, their preachers tell them
and present as the truth
as the truth
Verse 2:
implant the will for self-determination
without bricks - there are no walls
implant the will to question
set their thoughts free and the world will be at peace
Ref.:
obedient people go to war

Shade-Grown
03:17
|

|
my soul is shade-grown
my heart is filled with black despair
exanimate, adrift
before I tried to cover
the void with smiles and laughter
my soul is shade-grown
the darkness killed my will to live
now standing on a steep shore
eyes on the deep abyss
trying to grasp thoughts
is a hopeless venture
a hopeless venture
I’m paralyzed
there is no light in me
nothing which gives force and will
the light is out
it rarely rises up
the urge to do just anything
I am caught/god - in my own room
filled with apathy
the bravest thing I ever did
was continuing my life when I wanted to die
the only thing that saved my life
was the thought that I could survive
my own suicide

Herostratos
04:15
|
|||
|
Verse1:
Seeking importance by losing your soul
Immortal glory through fire and smoke
Life is becoming faster – your mind can’t follow
Regardless of the consequences - accepting everything
one sets fire to a temple – just for his name
another is just posting online – doesn’t know what for
Ref.:
stop making stupid people famous
do not even - mention their names (their names)
pay no attention (no attention)
that they crash on - their ascension
Verse 2:
2000 years went by and still
You crave for recognition
Nothing learned
the view on yourself distracts you from reality
More important as the wonders of this world
Ref:
stop making stupid people famous
do not even - mention their names (their names)
pay no attention (no attention)
that they crash on - their ascension
pay no attention (no attention)
do not even - mention their names
Break:
View shifted from art to artist
Arranged image – distorted truth
Glamorizing ignorance
Glamorizing arrogance
End:
Kill your inner herostratos
Your life means nothing
Be hated or loved
But hubris and pride
Goes before your fall
Goes before your fall

Bonds & Coins
03:31
|
|||
|
the job you do
has a meaning just for you!
all hail the bonds and coins
ripped off from the flesh of the socially deprived
ripped off from the flesh of poverty
your work causes your prosperity
your work is worthless for society
selfishness is your attitude
more in your trap you shove
making money, gaining profit - you come back for more
your corruption has no prize - has no prize
your act of money protection
is a human rights dissection
but your kingdom will come to an end
watch the rage grow from the things
you do to get your cut
all hail the bonds and coins
ripped off from the flesh of the socially deprived
digging holes into foreign ground
extracting life from earth
their water sold for our profit then
condemned to run out of life
your work causes death
the job you do kills existences
the job you do is so fucking worthless

Devour the Earth
04:00
|
|||
|
I am so addicted - cannot control my greed
my inner self just craves for more
why waiver temperance
why waiver consciousness
endless consumption costs me less
I am weak, I can't resist
need to fulfill my greed
I am weak, I can't resist
need to fulfill my greed
that’s the world you choose to live in
you'd rather die than give in
that’s the world you choose to eat
empty eyes just watch it bleed
watch it bleed
watch it bleed
watch it bleed
watch it
voracious creatures ignoring their base of existence
But who cares?
just take more
and devour the earth
this whole planet is doomed to bleed
generations drown for the wealth of one
eat the grassland, forests, rivers, mountains, seas and burn the rest
face the truth - see how much is left
how much is left
that’s the world you choose to live in
you'd rather die than give in
that’s the world you choose to eat
empty eyes just watch it bleed
that’s the world you choose to live in
you'd rather die than give in
that’s the world you choose to eat
empty eyes just watch it bleed
watch it bleed
watch it bleed
watch it bleed
watch it

SUV (Sucker used vehicle)
This song is not about envy
it's a song about equality
you are in a position just few can fit
Your attitude is - I don' give a shit
Ref.:
Grief – is your currency
Unknown - is humility
More - is your destiny
and you laugh at the poor in your SUV
White collars and bloody hands
Property and mercedes benz (ignorance)
In your suits you think you are fly
taking rents that are too damn high
Ref.:
Grief – is your currency
Unknown - is humility
More - is your destiny
and you laugh at the poor in your SUV
year by year in you daily grind
producing shit and rape mankind
your smile - a step too far
pollute the world in your rich kid car
Ref. (4x):
Grief – is your curreny
Unknown - is humility
More - is your destiny
and you laugh at the poor in your SUV
Stroke - in your driver’s seat
Choke - on your filthy greed
Burn - for eternity
Drive into a tree in your SUV

Götterschänder
03:51

I despise the womb
which released me into this hell
the pain of this world is all what’s left for me
what’s left for me
what’s left for me
I never wanted – to walk this earth
they gave me torture
await your reward
If there is a god
he’ll have to beg my forgiveness
revenge I seek - for that I’m sure
dreams and visions burned to ashes
flesh and bones decayed to dust
the earth is formless and empty
darkness over the surface of the deep
and the spirit of God has never existed – and never will
the pain they forced upon me
I’ll bring it back to them
the evil sent from heaven is all that’s left for me
a red heaven awaits me
to give a meaning to my life
the desecrator of god
will breathe the spirit
plucking the angels
sentenced to life through birth
I redeem myself - from this hell
if there is a god
he’ll have to beg my forgiveness
revenge I seek - for that I am sure
dreams and visions burned to ashes
flesh and bones decayed to dust
the earth is formless and empty
darkness over the surface of the deep
and the spirit of God has never existed – and never will

Aspiration
04:42
|

|
It’s your choice which path you take
If you want to be misled
Tomorrow seems so far away, seems so far away
Determination is an easy way to defeat your doubts
Tomorrow seems so far away - so far away
From the beginning, you walk
through an endless night
With the constant feeling
Of going nowhere
Desperation and solitude
Are your well-known hunters
Their breath down your neck
Keeps you walking, keeps you searching
But all you find is void and darkness
No solace in the valley of the shadow of the death
It’s your choice which path you take
If you want to be misled
Tomorrow seems so far away, seems so far away
Determination is an easy way to defeat your doubts
Tomorrow seems so far away - so far away
By the absence of light
You grasp for every straw
Without doubts
Embracing your salvation
This light will never die
This light will never die
But you will
It’s your choice which path you take
If you want to be misled
Tomorrow seems so far away, seems so far away
Determination is an easy way to defeat your doubts
Tomorrow seems so far away - so far away

Grave of Water
05:28
|
|||
|
attracted to an exodus by false promises
they spend - all their money
to travel into death
these human lives have been exploited
if enslavement, rape and torture have been endured
they lay down their bodies
in a grave of water
cause the holy coast is not attainable
but the sorrowed ones will not disappear
if we just close our eyes
the sorrowed ones will sink to the ground
if we just close our eyes
but wealth and voters
bound our souls in fear
and we've lost everything when empathy dies
we've lost everything - when empathy dies
this machinery of human traffickers
a monster we created
the spirits that we cited
lay down their bodies in front of our wealth
pushed ashore on your holiday beach
they lay down their bodies
in a grave of water
cause the holy coast is not attainable
but the sorrowed ones will not disappear
if we just close our eyes
the sorrowed ones will sink to the ground
if we just close our eyes
but all Europe does
is shutting borders, closing doors - the loss of human lives can never be forgiven
