Your despisable visions of hostility and division the foundations of  fear won’t let anybody near   talks of blind recollection moments full of rejection oblivious idolatry  you shift with ferocity   We won’t keep – quiet and still – calm and smooth   will fight your perceptions of sensless animosity obstruct your enmity from the glimpse of inception talks of blind recollection moments full of rejection oblivious idolatry  you shift with ferocity   We won’t keep – quiet and still – calm and smooth quiet and still - quiet and still talks of blind recollection moments full of rejection full of rejection! quiet and still - calm and smooth

Czechago 02:20
Claimed your powers To break Our resistance By law Our resistance by law No way you came to protect our lifes appeared as the savage of this system Only a savage of this system! Beat down and dragged over burning concrete Neglected our pillars of justice Only a savage of this system! Personal cravings, what drive you in the first place Smashing and trampling our minds Smashing and trampling our minds! crushed our freedom, with bats and waters trimmed our rights, let off your steam that’s what you are – that’s who you are A savage! that’s what you are – that’s who you are A savage! When you need a hiding place From people you should represent Then your decisions‘ve failed And you‘ll drown with them crushed our freedom, with bats and waters trimmed our rights, let off your steam that’s what you are – that’s who you are A savage!

Seneca 02:52
Wake up in terror, believe their pictures they paint for you Delete all options, to justify for almighty rule The mirror of the reign, imprison thoughts Blurred and obscured Dominion of prospect, imprisons every notions Holding position tight, no other angle With empty lines, they shape captivity Carved for reality Blurred and obscured The mirror of the reign, imprison our thoughs Blurred and obscured Dominion of prospect, imprisons every notion Blurred and - obscured Wipe out all sepration from powers holding the scepter tight in their scarred fingers they never let go – never let go! You played your par in this, in a game they set the rules for us Is it worth it? all gone in the void of this game. Is it worth it? all gone in the void of this game.

All I see in the world today greedy players devouring alive our freedom and right to thrive Burn down, expunge this world Controlling stooges and fears Disregarding of soul and soil Only left arid and void Burn down, expunge their world! All they care for are numbers and yields the profits extracted from bodies left Left - left to dry Left to dry out in the fields That should provide their shares of life lived in vain beings treated like dirty rags Misused and spilled out in chunks! languishing generations, dispossessed of all prospects, kept captive and restrained, for your assets and constructs. vanishing diversity, scars in empty landscapes, that bleed for ages while you push along your road All they care are numbers and yields the profits extracted from bodies left left to dry beings treated like dirty rags Misused and spilled out in chunks! – spilled out in chucks! languishing generations, dispossessed of all prospects, kept captive and restrained, for your assets and constructs. vanishing diversity, scars in empty landscapes, that bleed for ages while you push along your road Burn down, expunge their world! Burn down, expunge their world!

Old Youth 02:23
Your world is spinning fast, your time not much to be remembered Your words are empty shells, not more than a shiny fading pretender; Your punch weakened while your blether filled your throat Did we loose – the power of exclamation? Or is it me, that just moved on lost all the grip and understanding Indulging in the times, we shared and cared I can’t see no commitment, to what I once loved and lived with ferventness Your striking squeals are hollow No much than greasy suit, uniformed pretender Your punch weakened while your blether filled your throat Did we loose – the power of exclamation? Or is it me, that just moved on – lost all the grip and understanding Indulging in the times, we shared and cared

Rise, Rise, Rise from the past Affinity given by violence and cast Quiet, quiet, quiet through the time Generation held captive by semblance of pride Tell me now, where the hell is your merit? Straight, Straight, straight in your life Barriers are build, seperate us form birth Break, break, break their concrete forms all division wipes out pumping beat Tell me now, where the fuck was you part in this? Smash separations that keep us apart Erase from the past – neglect what you‘ve learned Reasons for pride that you never achieved Erase all you know – neglect what you‘ve learned Erase from the past – neglect what you‘ve learned

I grasp the moment of stucking hopeless time Repeat my steps on this vague bottomless line That keeps me far from being breathing and alive In this cold darkness That is enveloping life Stream of illusion will tear me apart No motion against it, how can I survive? Surrounded by torrents that keep me in check and balance I struggle to fight The strings around wrist and neck. gorges round tight the more I wriggle and combat nothing but cripples piled in our concious minds Stream of seduction, will keep me in rest – keep me in rest Pacing my heartbeat, till I‘m deaf – till I‘m deaf Stream of illusion will tear me apart Stream of illusion will tear me apart!

no way hiding, suck in every moment of this damned existence I can’t bear the pounding weight of expectations! implications! Pacing highly, keeping up with our cast and Blank outlook Tempest we call reality expectations! implications! expectations! implications - of conformity, cast away - morality Tick, tick the clock moves on, following the beat of tradition Can’t evade these vices, pinning my vessels Tick, tick the clock moves on, hammered in our minds by convinction what’s introtctrinated since generations Tick, tick the clock moves on, I can’t get out! I can’t deny!

And while they struggle and strain Escaping wasteland, once called home, bury our history, our failing, cancel veiled plans of great empires Look what we‘ve left are chaos and imbalance, the constraints of this age, choke every progress confusion of reality, does not purge our blame It’s our obligation and not our choice And as they seek redemption, on paths both rotten and lethal, They drown in depths and recoil from fences built confusion of reality, does not purge our blame It’s our obligation and not a choice And as they seek redemption, on paths both rotten and lethal, They drown in depths and recoil from fences built! confusion of reality, does not purge our blame It’s our obligation and not a choice Just look around how we availed of their nemesis It’s never been a choice! They now lay naked and peaked, in ditches trenched by colonial greed Children denied of their future Children robbed by sunken empires

Corrupted nations tear apart, dismantel culture and slash open heart With helping hands you built addictions, in times of war your machinery walks, —— Gained your power with fear and opression Enforced your wealth on the loins of the living Corrupted nations tear apart, dismantel culture and slash open heart —- Corrupted nation tear apart, dismantel culture and slice open their heart With helping hands you built addictions, in times of war your machinery walks —- Gained your power using fear and opression Enforced your wealth on the loins of the living

Walls and alleys, street by street, voices that vanish, in hollow concrete Taken from us, in bold disdain, lost all its beauty and put in chains put in chains And you reach out, out for more, Infinite greed, things left to own? Walls and alleys, street by street, voices that vanished, in hollow concrete Taken from us, in disdain, lost all its beauty and put in chains put in chains And you reach out, out for more, Infinite greed, things left to own? the block, the streets, the hoods down to the bone the block, the streets, the hoods down to the bone An you still reach out, out for more Of this damn city that hides its face Behind the golden bricks in shadows of greed Of this damn city that hides its face Of this damn city that hides its face - that hides its face! Of this damn city that hides its face!
