Yes They Could
03:05
|

It all seemed so positive
finally away from the poverty at home
A one way ticket to the desert
Fight for the nation
She became the symbol of dirty war
Sentenced, spitted out and sacrificed
The ones in charge remain
Silent
Scared the truth will come to life
what started as a way to sue the system
began to live a live on its own
locked up
Pyramids of naked prisoners
An inmate on a leech
Like the prisons pet
Smile and take a snapshot
They will burn
We will rise
Inside these walls
It’s the place where instant
disbelief
changes into long lasting belief
not knowing what’s better
know knowing what’s worse
accept your destiny
or let’s call it a curse
living your life or live a lie
Leaders of this fucked up nation
It’s up to you

So called big families who want to control
as many aspects in life as they can
They are everywhere in every important institution
supporting each other and their next generation
Never expose anything to the ignorant people
This morbid plainting is growing beneath the surface
The richest families laid their foundations into our society
It has become a mainstream for everyone who wants to fulfill
and keep the functions they gained
War and revolution in the eyes of the ones
who have control over the power they gained
must be stimulated artificially to keep the world turning
It doesn’t matter if they’re right. It will work!!
To them it’s important even to control life science
which decides about, health or sickness, life and death
It’s everywhere the same
He who turns himself against
the established doctrine
will be ignored
Will be prosecuted or executed

More Than Unity
01:41
|
|||
Whenever where how or when
I’m the one to count on
And then
Whenever you walk alone
There’s more shit that you don’t know
This unity can only grow when time is all we seem to have
Use it well
forget the past and live for now
This is where we all are now
Here and now
Everyone dies alone
We all end as skulls and bones
Keep that in mind
You can’t rewind
What’s been said and done my friend
Stop to think about the past
for the moments you might crack
Think of all the friends who got you back
Break the borders of your mind
Look within what you can find
There is more to life than hit or miss

Her Life, Your Profit
03:09
|
|||
Countries with a high degree of poverty are the best to buy and sell
Just make her believe you’ll take care of her
No parents, no future, her choice was easily made
She puts her faith in you
And then you ship her overseas
make her forget her history
She works hard for you
and gets nothing in return
She empties her client pockets
and fills them up for you
You treat her like an animal thinking no one cares about this whore
It’s sad you’ll never understand
that women aren’t for sale
as a matter of fact
no human is
The better she looks
The more money she’s worth
Mister businessman is traveling the world

The Mark Of Judas
03:26
|
|||
It’s been on me from the day
I could think and speak for myself
never had anything in mind
I really wanted to be
had friends, family ‘till someday
I realized that I’m alone
No one’s helping me and I don’t seem to care
The mark of Judas has been laid down upon me
and I’m getting used to it
I learned to live
with this bad reputation like
a decease with no cure for betterness
I didn’t want things this way
It’s just how it is right now
Betrayed friends and have been stabbed in the back
so many times
Forgiveness is a word
people seem to know
because it seems so evident
(I said sorry before)
I knew I was right when best friends
seemed backbiters
I feel the emptiness inside
In this short presence on this planet
It seems to me there is no time
For sorry and forgiveness
We surround us with
equally minded assholes and
think this is the way
Will we ever know who chose the right way
and who went wrong from the start?

The Day He Felt Superior
03:42
|
|||
He was born in a middle class family, the first and only son
Treated like a king and praised for everything you do
Cause you are here to make to make the difference
At least that’s what you’ve been told
Spent most of your life in obscurity
with no one but you family
until the day you left to live on your own
The time has come to show the world
who you really are
Having people around who adore you
makes it easier to shine
Time to get back to reality kid
There’s a million kids like you with a lot more to say
Time to show some consideration
for everyone around just like you
How can someone without a soul act as a guiding star?
You don’t need anyone
Everyone needs you
When was the first time you felt superior?
You’re always the one who’s screaming the loudest
as if you’ve got so much to say
But after all is said and done you’ll be left with
empty hands and an empty mind
It must be hard to live among
people who stand far below you
I’m lucky to be a follower
of what you stand for
(do you really believe that?)
When was the first time
you really felt superior?

We all want our lives to be meaningful
We seek answers to the questions we don’t understand
But that’s all right
As long as we believe that we’re helping each other
Some really do, some help the others down
Everyone is on his way
to his own utopia
No time for sincere interest in what’s going on around
You have blinkers on and your mind is only focused
on the sacred place you call
my utopia
The world you live in seems so big and important
Like there is no other
Through all these years you’ve created your own paradise
and now you became a slave in you land of cocaine
Emotions mean nothing here
conversations are digitalized
this is your own utopia
While a 1000 miles away from here
people are on the road for days
without a destination
But the goal to survive
with the sun as their enemy and friend
To them every day is gift
I know you will never see the difference
between their and your utopia
Both bring comfort
It’s not always bad to have one!!

The Wrong Choice
04:00
|
|||
Another day, another mission
Same sweat stained combat boots
Same orders, hit and run
Think of wars that we had and then of wars that we have left
When your country calls for you to murder
In a war where nothing is gained
Where the slaughter of people is inhumane
When your country sends its war machine
You know it’s just a game and the winner keeps breathing
They tell you god is on your side
that when you kill it’s justified
But the romance of war turns bad
when you send your friends home in body bags
With anger strong and bitterness high
you struggle to fight the emotions inside
You’re taught to be tough
that you’re not a man
You’re taught to be mean
you’re a killing machine
This partly was your choice
you thought it was the right one
and now you wish you could return
to the way it used to be
Hidden away deep down inside you’re a man
and you cannot hide
Your children scream and your children cry
because they don’t understand the reason why
you left them to go out and fight
But your country knows what’s good for you
Now take your orders carry them through
There will never be peace on earth my friend
so listen to the feet of the marching men
