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

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

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

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?

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!!

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
