Do you ever wonder how the other half dies? You lay your head to sleep on cozy pillows and a shitload of sheets But there’s a majority no one seems to care about Disrupted from their family Taken by someone We call it modern slavery Going to the market shopping for a personal slave Maybe just one or should you take two? Someone must do the dirty work And you think he is disposable That’s the way you see it It’s just a man without a name No history No cultural background The wealth of his country crushed by the western ego No chance for a better existence You call it 3rd world countries while it should be The heart of this planet The soul off it all Time to fight this modern slavery Freedom for all!!! Hidden behind a legal smoke screen A lawyer will take care Because when money talks No one opens their mouth And it indirectly affects every single one of us Learn to read between the lines Possession of the body and mind of someone of your kind Do you ever wonder how the other half dies? Or what’s going through their minds? Are their lives just a waste of your precious time? You use and abuse them Till they bend and brake

Hey man you know I wrote everything I need to know about you In the palm of my hands Faith is all there needs to be said About how I feel as the sweat on my hands erases it all It remains in my heart and in my head From the fights when we were kids To everything we’ve build up through the years I’m sure everything will turn out just fine for you and I I admire the decisions that you make The things that you believe in The energy you give me I couldn’t wish for a better brother We’ve been through shit together But always found our way out I’ve always seen so much in you This one is for us we’ll drink a whisky and Talk about the past and everything there is to come I don’t care if it’s good or bad I’ll be the fist in your fights and the helping hands when you fall In the end I’ll be the voice when you need the strength to shout Let’s go! Let’s do this We’ll see what happens next Let’s go! Let’s do this Let’s keep it the way it is Let’s go! Let’s do this We’ll be the ones Let’s go! Let’s do this We were when we first met

Our hands may be tied but we’re able to run We’ve had enough It took too long to take these steps We’re off on a new road We’ve been patient for too long It’s time for change We need to do it now because the ones in charge are incapable Unable to get it done Someone should cut their wages It’s our time, the squares, the roads Must become our stages We need to protest as talk seems to be so cheap And it’s getting us nowhere Our whole nation is at war We’re faced with it every single day Newspapers, TV or radio, no one is talking positive Our languages may not be the same But we all know we need the same Let’s send in a Molotov Let’s do it peacefully As quiet as they are with the information They’re giving us just to keep us in formation The fire will make them see the light We can’t even trust the media Everyone’s got a hand in someone else’s pockets They’re either digging or filling But we’re running We keep moving destination anywhere but the present Like puppets on a string But some got more strings attached than the others Pacts are made, but broken the day after Hands are shook, but fingers are crossed behind their backs Laughter at the lenses just to show their goodwill Yet their heads are filled with money and discontent They don’t want things to change They want us to forget how it used to be We need to bring it back to the streets It’s something for the masses not something for the few

What a perfect day to take someone’s life A room for guests The bigwigs get the best seats Just a quick spot to take a drink at the cozy chairs How are the children? Be quiet the show is about to start Gazing through the window Face to face with the monster This man no longer deserves to live The priest is giving his last rites Whether he believes or not While the belts are already tightened Any last words best man? You murdered and raped You stole and you lied This time it’s eye for an eye You don't have regrets and you didn't learn from your mistakes We have the right to take your life The auditorium is full the show begins You sit there alone Your life is over Flashes through your mind The executioner will do the dirty work Thank God we still have death penalty It’s unnecessary to think about Reintegration When a push on the button or a lethal injection is enough You murdered and raped You stole and you lied This time it’s eye for an eye You don't have regrets and you didn't learn from your mistakes We have the right to take your life As everything is over The room is empty and life goes on Nobody wonders and no one is asking questions Is there no other way?

In the eye of the storm I was waiting While the world was falling down on me I should've known that everything eventually passes by Only the moment when I couldn't choose Can you pull me out of this spiral Do I even want to get out This part has found me I refuse to change I can tell you this I will never adapt I've got to learn to walk again Learning how to communicate Teach me how to listen it's so hard to listen When the content of everything seems so pointless It's hard to stay focused when there's only one thing on your mind The time I have left Between my first and my last breath Will mean everything to me We never had a conversation Yet you've learned me so much Your time had come when mine just started ticking So I'm spitting out words thoughts and I will never mince words Sometimes it all seems so desperate How hard it is to miss what we never knew All the energy all the good things I owe to my friends When everything seems likely to fail When everything looks bad I'm stretching my arms and I'm letting myself fall (Knowing there's always someone to rely on) You wanted us to be a part of you Like some kind of family I can tell you I've never felt so close To anyone as I do now This is more than just the bloodline This will never end As long as our hearts keep beating They'll keep beating for you Just for you

The little dictator is pouting I clearly see that you care nothing about the message of this song You wrap yourself in it to hide what you're really all about The very same things that bring us to complete And utter destruction, Prejudice, hatred and racism Malevolence That is what you feed on Mindsets like yours confound the entire concept of peace and goodwill How fucking low can a so-called “human being” go? I will not hate you I will totally ignore you

Connecting dots That will eventually turn out As the perfect drawing that They wanted it to be Yet you're so proud Cause you got it right It has always been that way You think you're in charge You got the tools, you might have the brains But it's so absurd, you walk their paths You even speak their words Sit back and laugh Clap when they clap We are here, thanks to the few who stood up When no one had the balls When no one gave a fuck They opened up my eyes They made me realize I must reject everything that you respect We need to stand up and unite Participate! Don't let the world just pass us by There's no time for great ideas We're forced to learn from the thinkers of the past This is the west There's nothing new here for us I respect those who fight for their believes Who repeat what's been said a thousand times before Just in case you haven't heard it yet! We need to stand up and unite Don't let the world just pas us by

Every road is long though it might seem short From north to south and back again I’ve been traveling for so long without a reason I was running from the past (and hiding for the future) This journey is no growing to an end The small streets are turning into highways But I still see the empty signs that pretend They point the way to home sweet home I cannot speak instead of you Or make the choices I know you should take These words you spoke but you never did say The choices you took have turned into darkened dreams You woke up and all that was left Were the ashes of a thousand thoughts You were drifting away from the edges And the dark winds kept persuading your soul But every road leads to where we go And where we go is where we've already been Home it’s just a word we know It’s the place where we want to be again Home is nothing but a choice we all must make From day to day each for himself Home it’s just another road or just another place Where you put your mind at ease

Packed up and happy A temporary flee Summer’s arriving In far eastern Europe We’re climbing their mountains And swimming their rivers We’re into a country Where no one is leading Happy to miss Some kind of horizon Locating a spot In the steep craggy mountains At the end of the day In the shade of a tree We’re counting our money And thickening our dreams All doing their business All searching for happiness All drying their tears While no one is leading Packed up like dirt In the back of a truck On to a country Where no one is leading In reach of the towers On uncultivated soil Building a settlement Guided by memories

I’m standing in the open fields Watching my whole harvest burn Everything I worked for my entire life Seems to vanish in just a split second I've already walked the bridges you've set on fire My skin is soaking wet It’s dripping from life I’m ready for this I’m willing to let go Here I am next to your big city This is my place These burning fields of meaningless harvests It cost me a lifetime It costs you a simple nod with your head To set it off To let it roll Just destroy Every brick that’s carefully been put to place This constant uphill race To zero has got me beat It’s time to feed the fire on the bridges that are already burning. Surrounded by insanity Trying hard to understand Why you're so dehumanized Decisions You don't make them yourself Words are chosen by the ones around you Dreams destroyed by you It’s a never ending battle of a twisted mind It sickens me This luxury to create and destroy The paved roads of the city are leading straight to the fields Where I'm standing Waiting Laughing as the flames are closing in It all starts and ends with zero!
