Heaven Shall Burn

So much terror I have seen,
Fought endless years for their revenge
Now I know this struggle ended nowhere
I am remembering with shame

I feel my time has come to fight for understanding
I'm not defeated, I'm not beaten
Thrown into the darkest dungeon,
I pay for my forgiving thoughts
They may preach about the same convictions,
But they will distort these high ideals

No ferocity will unsettle my beliefs
I am not taken by the enemy
Mechanisms of stagnation
As agitators rule the land

They want to make us live in fear
Yet all they get are unshed tears
They want to make us live in fear
Locked up in gloom for years
Try to silence my voice,
But I'm not beaten!

No brutality will unsettle my beliefs
I am not taken by their felony
Mechanisms of stagnation
As agitators rule the land

And a thousand miles away from home,
I meet my expelled brothers
Captured in a secret prison,
Isolation, regression, indignity for years

No atrocity will unsettle my beliefs
I am not taken by this agony
Mechanisms of stagnation
As agitators rule the land

I know that they will bleed in hell
But where is justice in this unjust world?
Where is the truth we died for?
You feed the lie they fight for

Silence and screams are the end of my song
There is no threat to scare us
Our tunes and words remain
As songs of rage to carry our names

Although your hangmen may be dead by now
There is no share of this blame
No cheap excuses we accept
Make no mistake about it

Our songs and words remain
As storms of rage to carry our names
We'll make you bleed for this
There is no share of this blame

Our wives and mothers,
So many years they hoped in vain
Nothing will be buried in oblivion
You saw no anguish in our eyes
This terror did not brake our will
Remember our names!

Silence and screams are the end of my song
There is no threat to scare us
Our songs and words remain
As storms of rage to carry our names

We'll make you bleed for this
You will share this blame
Nothing will be buried in oblivion
You saw no anguish in our eyes
Nothing will be buried in oblivion
You shall remember our names

We may be buried in forgotten grounds,
But the heartbeats of our loved ones
Will be the drums to break your sleep

Welcome to a world of pain
This is the day of your conversion, mortification
Dragged away from home on blood red nights
Slave to a brutal system, forevermore, forevermore

You are an orphan now, adopted by the beast of war
The end of all your childhood dreams has come

No more will you meet a smilling face
Now peace has left your sleep forever
There are no arms to hold you
Yet there are no hands to wipe your tears

Constrained and forced to kill
These cruelties will haunt you, a life in combat
Your fear will make you bleed, your inner combat
A life without a future, you will forget your wishes
And nothing to embrace, but the rifle in your hands, forevermore

You are an orphan now, adopted by the beast of war
The end of all your childhood dreams has come:
A life of combat, forevermore

No more will you meet a smilling face
Now peace has left your sleep forever
There are no arms to hold you
Yet there are no hands to wipe your tears away
There are no arms to hold you
Peace has left your sleep

"There are about 300.000 child soldiers worldwide, most of them are forced to fight in armed conflicts."

Nothing but pain, nothing but anguish
Depriving me of mercy,refusing all compassion
These bare walls around me
My prison, my dungeon

Deliver me to ransom,
No god can justify this cruelty
There's nothing left for me
There's nothing left but agony

At last break down this dogma
Just let me go, just let me be
Just let it be my last breath
As all peace has left this world

There is serenity given in death
Silence is falling down
So long ago I lost my anchor
As all my sorrows drown

Given in death

The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore
The end is putting down its hand for me,
I see, I feel

As all my sorrows drown
Just let me go, just let me be
Just let it be my last breath
Days fade away, songs die away

My peace of mind, given in death
As all peace has left this world
So long ago I lost my anchor
I'm longing for redemption

Enclosed by the mists of oblivion,
Days fade away, songs die away
The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore
The end is putting down its hand for me,
I see, I feel

Never forgive, never forget
This world is out of joint
Your order's built on sand
Conspiracy to murder, cold blooded murder
Assassinated the few who fought this wrongful system

And to you, you masters of affliction
We speak our words of truthfulness
Our death will hinder nothing
This is the way to walk, this is the time to act
I was, I am, I shall be

They heard the tunes of revolution
They felt we'd seize the power
Infamous deeds of desperation
You may take us off the streets,
But nothing stops this righteous rage

We know you sense the coming thunder
Insidious rulers
Never forgive, never forget
Of that there is no doubt
Never forgive, never forget
We know this storm will rage again

I did not choose to tread this path,
A forced journey into an unknown future
As our doom eclipsed this clueless state,
I had to leave my world behind

Their hate was so outright,
It filled my heart with fright
I know only too well
My people chose to welcome tyranny,
The slaves of terror, murder, pain
Humanity lays dying once again

Their hate was so outright,
It filled my heart with fright
I know only too well,
I am an undead poet
Buried in no ground
I know only too well

"Die Heimat hat mir Treue nicht gehalten,
Sie gab sich ganz den bosen Trieben hin
Doch hier wird niemand meine Verse lesen,
Ist nichts, was meiner Seele Sprache spricht;
Ein deutscher Dichter bin ich einst gewesen,
Jetzt ist mein Leben ein Spuk wie mein Gedicht."
[Max Herrmann-Neisse]

Now here I am, disabled but alive
Where no one calls my name
Where nothing meets my soul
Now here I am, but cannot build my home
As no one reads my bitter words

I'm yearning for the day of my return
Yet nothing's there to make my dreams come true
I know only too well,
I am a ghost wandering this world
I'm like a ghost, I know only too well

I see the distant flames
This outland holds no hope
As no one reads my truly bitter words

An unforgiving chill crawls down my blood stained limbs
And a thousand frozen bodies line our way into the night
Shadows of dead trees appear like ghosts in poisoned clouds

Heart-wrenching cries agonize my soul
Hand to hand we fight
And man by man we die
No sanity is here to find, our god has left this hell
We're wandering like shadows
Through frozen worlds

Once my mind was occupied,
Filled with heroic stories, all glorious tales about this war
But now I know there is no honor here to find
We're marching endlessly, relentlessly, towards the end
A purgatory we walk through, a common grave for all of us
No matter friend or enemy, a forest of the dead

Heart-wrenching cries agonize my soul
Hand to hand we fight
And man by man we die
No sanity is here to find, our god has left this hell
We're wandering like shadows
Through frozen worlds

I should not care about my enemies, tell me what have I become
My blackened heart's still beating
All of a sudden I'm aware
Compassion is no weakness, compassion is no treason

This is the war you called
And I'm the one who came to judge you.
Too soon your gods will leave,
This is the day of your defeat.
Welcome the newborn slaves,
Forgotten and betrayed.
Just burn it down.
Black skies will rise
And overshadow your demise.
Long for the peace of surrender.
Just stare into the void.
Welcome the newborn slaves,
Disfranchised and betrayed.
Just feed your new found hate,
A force nothing will break.
Just burn it,
Just burn it down.
It's in the air you breathe,
An everlasting poison,
An order of deceit,
It is a lie you bleed for.
It's in the words you speak,
Faint echoes of deception.
When will you ever see
No one will set you free.
Welcome the newborn slaves,
Forgotten and betrayed.
Long for the peace of surrender.
Just stare into the void.
It's in the air you breathe,
An everlasting poison,
An order of deceit,
It is a lie you bleed for.
It's in the words you speak,
Faint echoes of deception.
When will you ever see
No one will set you free.
Und damit du es verstehst,
Du folgst den falschen Fuhrern.
Der Kampf ist nie vorbei,
Du bist nicht frei.
It's in the air you breathe,
An everlasting poison,
An order of deceit,
It is a lie you bleed for.
It's in the words you speak,
Faint echoes of deception.
When will you ever see
No one will set you free.

The time has come for you
Why don't you see the omen
Open your eyes and cast their lies aside
Your craven kings are headed nowhere
Your blinded leaders, they're headed nowhere
You're headed nowhere

I know they tell you to believe their truth
But I will never stand this pain
I know they say not to worry anymore
But I just cannot look away
The truth is plain, this truth is plain

Closing your eyes is nothing but surrender
How can you ask me if we can save this world
For them it died so many years ago
Get on your knees and greet the omen

How often did they prove their ignorance to you
How many times did they betray
The truth is plain, this truth is plain
Selling the hard-won values we archived

You know that nothing will ever break the beast
You know there are millions left for dead
But no one broadcasts their cries
And now you dare to ask me, if we can save this world
For them it died so many years ago
Get on your knees and greet the omen

Closing your eyes is nothing but surrender,
A rotten act of treason
Please never ask me, if we can save this world
For them it died so many years ago
Get on your knees and greet the omen

These silent days and restless nights
Are passing by, passing by like never ending years
What is left for me to keep me bearing up against this pain
Buried deep inside, inside my soul

And all that's left are my memories
These pictures of unworried days
But no one's there to save my legacy
It will just perish fade with me
Fade with me

No one awaits me, nothing diverts me
This withered body is no empty shell
A dying Ember

There is my god to carry me
But in this world, I needed you

No one awaits me, nothing diverts me
This withered body is no empty shell
And my bright eyes still realize your apathy
My heart beats strong, it still beats strong

There is my god to carry me


But in this world, I needed you

What is left for me to keep me bearing up against this pain
There is no god to ease this pain

No one awaits me, nothing diverts me
This withered body is no empty shell
And my bright eyes still realize your apathy
My heart beats strong, it still beats strong

Nothing to live for
Nothing to fight for
And emptiness fulfills my live
Emptiness fulfills my live

All my hope, A dying Ember

Nothing to live for
Nothing to fight for
And emptiness fulfills my live
Just promise me, promise me to hold my hand

They walked and walk among us
And carry on their vile convictions
Education is prevention
This is our struggle, this is our strife

We took just a fight
We were saved and accepted this endeavor
To open eyes, enforce memento, to awake remembrance
It didn't start with carnage
Demolition of all human rights

Against all lies
And versus their oblivion
There will be justice, despite all unconcern
We will find them, for all this apathy
Against all lies we seek for justice
We seek for justice not revenge

No one will stop us, nothing they can do
Blunt trueness will be told
And we will make it heard

Against all lies
We'll make them face their felony
Against all lies
They will meet responsibility

When I'm in this state of mind,
I'm wishing I was blind,
Sometimes life is more than pain to me

I feel the power of my grief,
Death would be such a relief,
All the secrets that I hide would die with me

Depression is my only friend,
Will this torture never end?
Let me carry on to dreamer's sky

I keep crying in my dreams,
Can you hear my endless screams?
When I fade away, I fade away...

This fluid on my cheek,
It drains me, I get weak
My heart is cold and bleak
Black blood, black tears.
Black tears, black tears.

Life is like a masquerade,
In dept to myself, but I can't pay,
Soon I'll call it all a day, away

I never felt what you call guilt,
I still believe "Do what thou wilt",
My sorrow will destroy the world I've built

This fluid on my cheek,
It drains me, I get weak
My heart is cold and bleak
Black blood, black tears.
Black tears, black tears.

Nothing, just nothing
아무것도, 그냥 아무것도 아닌게
Nothing will wipe this heart out
아무것도 아닌게 마음을 아프게 할꺼야
And no one, just no one will break this frontline
그리고 아무도, 그 누구도 이 선두자리를 뺏지 못할꺼야
We are, we are, we are the fighting ones
우리는, 우리는, 우리는 투쟁자들이야
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
우리가, 우리가 마지막, 우리가 마지막 저항자야

We're fighting to the last
우리는 끝까지 싸울꺼야
Driven by your hate awoken us
네 증오가 우리를 깨어나게 했어
No long we surrender
더 이상 우리는 항복하지 않아
A storm will break the silence
폭풍이 침묵을 부숴버릴꺼야
This storm will break the silence
이 폭풍이 침묵을 부숴버릴꺼야

Nothing, just nothing, nothing will wipe this heart out

This vengeance is justice and justice will be done
이 복수는 정의며 정의는 실현될꺼야
Your end is our triumph and the day will come
너의 끝이 우리의 승리며 그날은 올꺼야
A reign of terror, an life of horror, nothing will remain
공포의 지배, 두려움의 삶, 아무것도 남지 않을꺼야
A promise to the fallen, we'll make them feel our pain
타락한 자들에게 맹세하지, 우리는 우리의 고통을 그들에게 안겨줄꺼다
A promise to the felons, you'll never rise again
흉악한 자들에게 맹세하지, 넌 절대 다시 일어나지 못할꺼다

We'll take it back,
우리가 다시 돌려준다
We'll take it back
우리가 다시 돌려준다
We'll take it back,
우리가 다시 돌려준다
We'll take it back
우리가 다시 돌려준다

This vengeance is justice
이 복수는 정의
And justice will be done
그리고 정의는 실현될꺼야
Your hate has so betrayed us
너의 증오는 우리를 제대로 배신했어
Everyday we come
매일 우리는 올꺼야
A promise to the fallen
타락한 자들에게 맹세하지
We make them feel our pain
우리는 우리의 고통을 그들에게 안겨줄꺼다
A promise to the felons
흉악한 자들에게 맹세하지
You'll never rise again
넌 절대 다시 일어나지 못할꺼다

Nothing, just nothing, nothing will wipe this heart out
아무것도, 그냥 아무것도 아닌게, 아무것도 아닌게 마음을 아프게 할꺼야
And no one, just no one, no one will break this frontline
그리고 아무도, 그 누구도, 아무도 이 선두자리를 뺏지 못할꺼야
We are, we are, we are the fighting ones
우리는, 우리는, 우리는 투쟁자들이야
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
우리가, 우리가 마지막, 우리가 마지막 저항자야

forlorn skies
their blank eyes stare into forlorn sky
disgraceful figures stumble through the mist
sons of their nations, lost generations
a tragedy beyond imagination

burnt by the sun drowned in the rain
buried alive in this cold scortched earth

no glory left to find
they all have met their demons
they all have stopped to cry
we're dying for no reason
forlorn skies
we're dying for no reason

the day they marched into the abyss
wantoness and confidence affended us
anf flowes blazoned our doom
we lost our dreams

these weathered hearts are waiting for the end
those who return, will never leave this hell again

a merciless horizon does not promise any hope
father versus farther
brother against brother
a tomb for all humanity

no glory left to find
they all have met their demons
they all have stopped to cry
we're dying for no reason
forlorn skies
we're dying for no reason

> Golden domes and massive towers
False icons, show their perfect smiles
All joy and benefactions, they give it with a smile
Big hearted deeds and wise words
They donate it all with pleasure
Wise words of advice
You should pay the price
Insignia of doubtful unions
An untruth factory, the Jesus industry
A preacher in a palace, deriding Luther's fight
Jugglers rise to icons, fiddles play ingsaints
Selling hope and warship mammon
Blindness, fear, delusion - their intrinity
As you have paid the price, welcome to paradise
Insignia of doubtful unions
An untruth factory, the Jesus industry
Disbelievers, greed and wastage
Joel is gonna burn in hell
These disbelievers in a preacher's suit
Success and happines they sell
Accountants save your soul
As you have paid the price, welcome to paradise
I don't know about all sins and sinners
But Joel's gonna burn in hell
Insignia of doubtful unions
An untruth factory, the Jesus industry

Their shadows burnt into the walls
So many lives reduced to ashes
So many homes razed to the ground
A shine like from a thousand suns

Betrayed by their proud leaders
And executed by atrocious enemies
So many homes, so many lives
A silence sense of guilt should rise

A thousand books all full with vindications
Simple explanations and coloured declarations


Where silent sense of guilt should rise
But a victor's story can not lie

One modest truth they teach their children
Again, a victor's story, it can not lie!

See these branded generations
Hear, their bells are tolling
Hear, hear them calling

A nation reborn
Reborn into a new world
Waken from the dark eras
Ruins of an insane dream still cast their shadows
And demons from the past still walk among us

An age that bore no heroes

No answers to the few who raised their questions
Just like a poison, silence killed the truth

A quest for resistance
You're searching for an easy truth
But you betrayed them, they could not trust you

As you marched in lines and circles
As you held your flags up high
They had no where to run to
Your heroes, they could not dare not trust you

But the courage you're reclaiming, it died a bitter death with them
No one here and no one there, no one heard them calling

> For years we hide in blackness
We have to sink into oblivion
This agony of fear absorbs my thinking
This anguish suffocates my soul
I saw countless acts of treason
Once this heart was filled with force and comfort
But now there's nothing anymore
The home I knew has crumbled into dust
I know so many of these ruins
I watch it burn, my fatherland
To blood red skies I pray
Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end
As I hail the bombs of my saviours
As I'm craving for the sirens wailing
To leave this cell to cross the night
As they crawl into their bunkers
As they hide away and shake with fear
I watch it burn, my fatherland
To blood red skies I pray
Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end
As I hail the bombs of my saviours
At last I dare to raise my eyes and whisper
I fill my lungs with life again
Walking empty streets and orphaned quarters
A shine like daylight in the night
I watch it burn, my fatherland
To blood red skies I pray
Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end
As I hail the bombs of my saviours

> You all have seen this suffering
You all know it, you all know it
But your eyes lie to your heart
Morality corrupted and profit conducted
Born in a factory
Cold steel machineries
And driven by this greed - you're breeding the disease
Infected by this deadness - you're spreading the disease
Cold steel machineries
Driven by this greed
But I will not accept your carelessness
Mass production - Mass destruction
Born in a factory
Cold steel machineries
And driven by this greed - you're breeding the disease
Infected by this deadness - you're spreading the disease
Cold steel machineries
You will face relentless charges
You're breeding the disease
You're spreading the disease

An insurrection of the lost
With courage born from despair
An end for the years of anguish
A battle in the nation's heart

Uprising of the lost
In the abyss between the worlds
They all averted their eyes
A home behind the enemy's lines

They raped and burned our fatherland
We know that nothing shall remain; there's no tomorrow,
We'll bring it to an end; there's no tomorrow

Uprising of the lost
In the abyss between the worlds
They all averted their eyes
A home behind the enemy's lines



Our souls scorched with our homes
But willful we hold our ground
Our souls scorched with our homes
But willful we hold our ground; ground

Uprising of the lost
In the abyss between the worlds
Red vultures awaiting our end
A home behind the enemy's lines

Ragged figures but brothers and sisters we are
Through fields of debris we crawl
Red vultures awaiting our end
A home behind the enemy's lines; the enemy's lines

An insurrection of the lost

An overbearing dogma in disguise
Superstition displacing all reality
Debasing mother nature and dreaming of Intelligent Design
Adulterated doctrine, so abstruse, beyond all reason and apart from any evidence
Idolizing supreme forces while trampling down creation
Unable to accept their unimportance, their insignificance
Prospecting vindication for existing misery
Scorn this indoctrination, pressed on by a profane confraternity
Shame for the summit of creation

Let sanity prevail!
Defending Darwin's throne
Where blind belief and science meet we're defending Darwin's throne

Unrelenting, their endeavor to rule lives
Teaching you an artificial truth, that you will grieve no more,
that you will die no more
Narrow minded mercenaries, slave traders, soul collectors
Send a promise of destruction to those who will not kneel
Derision of the upright ones; as fear devours all doubts

But there are so many things I hold beyond their reach
The doom you promised me may come, I'm not afraid


You cannot save me
I am the counterweight
No need to save me; for I'm the counterweight

And I will grieve no more, I will die no more

How many times can they bend your will until you break and die inside
Is there still a heartfelt discomfort in you
Deep down inside to live these lies
Addicted to goodwill

On bleeding knees you're waiting for the answers
With gazing eyes you're hoping for a sign
Annihilation of your spirits
Dreams die in silence and piece by piece you go with them
Forsaken, unseen. Forsaken and unseen

Always accepting the inevitable
Won't make you find your peace
There is no substitute for your lost dignity
No one shall ever poison the worlds in you,
The treasures in your heart

At the end of life there's only black and white

On bleeding knees you're waiting for the answers
With gazing eyes you're hoping for a sign

Are you still the on I used to know?
Where is the fire in your eyes?
Do you remember all the things we used to share?
Your strong words gave hope to me so many times
But now there's only silence when we meet

Chorus:
These are the darkest of your days, where are your thousand friends?
And who will guide you through the nights as all the lights went out?

In the darkness of your room, the only time that you feel free
The solidarity you feel is only solitude you share
This is where they want you to be
Wasting all your thoughts and passion
The solidarity you feel is only solitude you share
Your strong words gave hope to me so many times
But now there's only silence when we meet

Are you still the on I used to know?
Where is the fire in your eyes?

Wasting all your thoughts and passion
The solidarity you feel is only solitude you share
Your strong words gave hope to me so many times
But now there's only silence when we meet

Skywards,
The prayers we sent, of no avail
No fear of death will walk among us
Almost too limb to throw the stones
Marching into darkness,
Bowed down with grief and marked by enslavement

All the prayers we sent, of no avail
They went unheard
Of no avail, the lives we gave

Our weakened legs and tattered shoes
Will cause no sound on icy streets
Almost too weak to cry out the spell
His servants won't slow down our steps
Blood red will be those streets and burning castles we'll leave

All the prayers we sent, of no avail
They went unheard
Of no avail, the lives we gave

Cursed be the god who was deaf to our prayers
Cursed be the god who was deaf to us

As we died in freedom their machines broke down for a day

Loosing touch with reality
In your world of plenty its so easy to preach love
Holier than thou, your order that shall rule
Yet, at the walls of your cathedrals poor sinners strave to death

Ungodly wastefulness and petrified profanity materialized in golden temples
Within the walls of Babylon profane believers follow their fateful leaders

This world is up in arms
The time has come to bid farewell
A true belief will rule
Our true belief will rule
A pure commitment will blow away an unreal constitution

Loosing touch with reality
In your world of plenty its so easy to preach love
Holier than thou, your order that shall rule
Yet, at the walls of your cathedrals poor sinners strave to death

Ungodly wastefulness and petrified profanity materialized in golden temples
Within the walls of Babylon profane believers follow their fateful leaders

This world is up in arms
The time has come to bid farewell
A true belief will rule
Our true belief will rule
A pure commitment will blow away an unreal constitution

Consistent, pushing aside all disbelief;
Abandon my friends, my home
Losing my mother tongue
But I will bear this heavy loss
Former brothers calling me betrayer
And burned the words we wrote
I will overcome
Solaced by this certainty this delusion will fade

Our words of reason, lost in the roar of the cadence
The beacon of humanity, beclouded by their cold, black sun
In the scattered light of all your torches his rotten face
Seems like a savior's smile to you

An army of lost sons still hidden in the dark
A voice of an enslaved nation
A force of banished daughters
We have to stay the course
Consistent, without anguish
We may sow the seeds of upheaval just from the outside;
But with burning hearts we shall recur

Our words of reason, lost in the roar of the cadence
The beacon of humanity, beclouded by their cold, black sun
In the scattered light of all your torches his rotten face
Seems like a savior's smile to you

Consistent, pushing aside all disbelief;
Abandon my friends, my home
Losing my mother tongue
But I will bear this heavy loss
Former brothers calling me betrayer
And burned the words we wrote
I will overcome
Solaced by this certainty this delusion will fade

Our words of reason, lost in the roar of the cadence
The beacon of humanity, beclouded by their cold, black sun
In the scattered light of all your torches his rotten face
Seems like a savior's smile to you

An army of lost sons still hidden in the dark
A voice of an enslaved nation
A force of banished daughters
We have to stay the course
Consistent, without anguish
We may sow the seeds of upheaval just from the outside;
But with burning hearts we shall recur

Our words of reason, lost in the roar of the cadence
The beacon of humanity, beclouded by their cold, black sun
In the scattered light of all your torches his rotten face
Seems like a savior's smile to you

This is the call to arms, the final call
Exchanged the shuttle for the sword
For generations we slaved away in the shadows of their towers
The world we know, a torture-chamber
Born as servants, exploited til death
To their machines were marching with Captain Ludd in mind

The final march begins, down with all the kings
The shroud we weave completed
The air we breath is not the stench of slavery
Down with the king
Down with all kings

Winter-withered bodies, souls sunken into misery
Our minds and future as black masters hearts
Now we engage the enemy; the web we weave completed
Can't wait for God to judge those monsters
A religion that just mocks us and justifies this misery

False prophets rule your life!

The whole world absorbed by the darkness in your heart
Only flames of sorrow light your way through the night
Your hands will never touch his face

False prophets rule your life! (repeated)



As you poison the river of life, erasing the greatest gift of god
All you need is yourself

False prophets rule your life! (repeated)

Blood trickles away in the sand
All hope crushed perished in the border fences of a secure stronghold
We crossed this lost world, so much distress we have seen
The home we left behind, it offered nothing but despair
Under the veil of darkness we marched for endless years
Beyond the silver bright horizon a brave new world exists

Trepassing the shores of your world
Piles of dead bodies at the walls of Fortress Europe cast a shadow on your paradise
Oblivion and apathy will keep you warm

A continent beyond recovery
Like dark invaders they receive us
A raping wound in the flesh of this earth: a bleeding they refuse to staunch

Blood trickles away in the sand
All hope crushed perished in the border fences of a secure stronghold
We crossed this lost world, so much distress we have seen
The home we left behind, it offered nothing but despair
Under the veil of darkness we marched for endless years

Trepassing the shores of your world
Piles of dead bodies at the walls of Fortress Europe cast a shadow on your paradise
Oblivion and apathy will keep you warm

A continent beyond recovery
Like dark invaders they receive us
A raping wound in the flesh of this earth: a bleeding they refuse to staunch

Fight fire with fire and everything will burn
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind
I won't go out to find wars
I'm going inside to find peace
I'd rather die for something
Than live for nothing

Not he who controls others
But he who controls himself
It takes more strength
To put down the guard
Than it takes to hate
And try looking hard

See the mighty sky turns into black
The horizon keeps burning
Stench of decay carried by the winds
It melts in my mind to see the agony

They're drowned in an ocean of lies
They're burnt in the fire of temptation
Helplessness and failure
The chains that paralyse my soul

Too cold your feelings
Too strong your lies
Can't reach your hand
Can't read your thoughts

The forthcoming fire to end the slavery
The forthcoming fire to clean the minds

As long as you deny the power of your heart
You won't reach the sky
You won't feel what passion means
And after thousands days of fire
The sun will rise again.

Do you still think you're innocent?
Blood trails leading to their face
Telling barbarous stories but you refuse to hear
For our wealth, they pay the price
What do you think?
How does it feel to be an object of consumption
To suffer endless torture for so little benefit?
Uour behaviour justifies the ethic holocaust
The daily unseen slaughtery so far away from our eyes
The cries so far away from our ears
But there should be resistance
The only way to walk
Without drowning in the blood of million innocent creatures
Difference between weak and strong must turn into harmony
And respect for every living being and Mother Earth
In this struggle, a single one is not useless
A hand is a symbol of hope
A million hands are weapons in the war for their peace
All our imaginations and dreams are weapons
We have to use them against the growing helplessness and fear
Your eyes don't want to see what's going on around
Swimming in the stream of blindness
The certain way to drown
This slaughter is a picture that is typical for our century
Following generations will remember and they won't understand
But they should also know about the people
Who judged the slaughters of the innocent
It's time to set the signs they can't ignore
Slaughter of the innocent
Who shares the pain?
Mandatory slaughter
Murder
Torture
Vain

All the crosses shall remain
Their blood runs in streams
Silence over battlefields
Don`t know what glory means

Their empty eyes don`t see the light
They never smiled, they never cried
The moment father died, my soul felt endless pain
In the moment I denied, the blood boiled in veins
All this day of sorrow, their cries I won`t forget
Remembrance for ever, remembrance for ever

All the crosses shall remain
Their souls are ceased in war
Thoughts of dying, burning fear
Their bodies rot in peace
Every time they saw the dawn
Don`t know how long to live

All the crosses shall remain
Names written in granite
This burning hate
A part of our cries gone with the wind
How many times, how many lives?
And still rain falls on graves

All the crosses shall remain
Their blood runs in streams
Silence over battlefields
Don`t know what glory means

Their empty eyes don`t see the light
They never smiled, they never cried
The moment father died, my soul felt endless pain
In the moment I denied, the blood boiled in veins
All this day of sorrow, their cries I won`t forget
Remembrance for ever, remembrance for ever

All the crosses shall remain
Their souls are ceased in war
Thoughts of dying, burning fear
Their bodies rot in peace
Every time they saw the dawn
Don`t know how long to live

All the crosses shall remain
Names written in granite
This burning hate
A part of our cries gone with the wind
How many times, how many lives?
And still rain falls on graves

There is a war!
Battlefields of honour deep inside my mind
Fighting for my freedom
My idols, my ideas, betrayed by your weakness
The stream you're swimming in
Aggression, born from pain
Disappointed by your aims
Knowing the solution's beyond your faculties

Projection of your anger on others
The way you've chosen to square your conscience
To clean it from all guilt

From the top of the tower
I see the dirty lies
The path to my position
Too steep for you to climb

I see the slavery
I see the pain
I hear the cries
A war of thoughts

Evil's weapon is your weakness
The discipline that you deny
Your poisoned mind will never be free
Too many lies you want to believe in
These blinded eyes will never see the light

You dream about you're a prisoner of your hypocrisy
You don't believe but you carry on
Intoxication - your mindless way of life
That poison fills the sky
Pollute the water in your rivers of happiness
It covers the horizon of your life
You'll never know what you could be

Get back all your power
Break free from your addictions
Take this war inside your mind
Fight every day to be yourself
I deny to be a link of this chain
Of indifference and sorrow
My thoughts of superiority are justified
Out of all possessions

A happy way of life
Using all my powers
Reaching all my aims

This beautiful world
It looks so nice filled whit sound and light
It smells so fine so much bliss
So much perfection a modern world a new society life is fast, but I'm not fast enough
Wealth and recognition to the strong, the paradise is here, but I'm too weak
No graceful look, no charming smile
Fate has set me down - below you all hold us captive - behind a wall of silence
We live our life in a prison of ignorance
One of the forgotten - an unwanted son a life made just for you - not me and my equals
I know, my feelings are not worth the pain
Will you affected pity ever turn to respect
How can I long for warmth and love at all?
Do you think my heart is dead?
I should be dead, slain or poisoned - and everything could be so easy for you

More and more, this certainty will rise.
It's far too late, until you'll understand.
More than ever, I feel there is no way.
To make you see, what's so drownright.
They betrayed the generations after them, framed their childrens.
Left a fateful wisdom you still consume, consume this matricide.
You still believe, believe these fatal lies.
Their machines, they kill for us.
But if we refuse, if we remonstrate at last.
They will go down!
They shall stand still.
Forever!
How can you be so indifferent to this creeping ecocide?
I'll fight against this way of thinking, to make you see, it dies!
This is my war, an ECOWAR!
My mother earth will not be assassinated by these parasites.
This is my war, an ECOWAR!

Abandonment
You've taken all I've given here's no haven anymore, prepare myself for falling
I'm drowning, there is no hand to reach for me
So starving, no noble mind will feed me, will anoint my aching wounds
Now I'm on my knees, petitioning your false deity
Crying and begging, no answer will be given
Broken down before a false divinity
Then I saw the lies, I know the truth at last
I won't implore this darken sky
Never awaiting a cure, won't listen to your melodies, this lie will not be lived
It's all in me, all I'll ever need, I'll rise again, no more
Abandonment stronger than ever before, stronger than you'll ever be

Conformity, the agony of freedom.
An epidemic eats our worlds.
I know your eyes will be to weak to see the way to walk.
Not able to live the single moment.
Your skin is far to cold to feel a kiss.
Feeling numb to all this suffering.
Where is the place we use to hide?
Will it be enough to tell you about the freedom you could have.
About the stars, the green, the happiness, about the soulless slaves you're following.
Will this be wnough to overcome the mechanism.
That keeps you away from our hands they will never suffocate this fire.
They will never extinguish my flame.
I won't let you fall from my hands.
I'll fight until the end, I promise.
It burns within!

One life, one hope - this is our life in hell punished for telling the truth, for unwanted ideals.
Innocence means nothing here - we stand and fall together.
The only way to ever leave this barren hill.
The smile of a child set free our minds.
A symbol of life in this domain of death they want to erase it.
If these bastards ever come to know, they'll kill us all.
They search everywhere - everyday, they infiltrate us.
They torture they slew my best friends.
As he would never betray as he saved the boys life, he set a world free.
A symbol of moral victory, we're invincible!
We raised from the dead, winged by this struggle.
We judged our tormentors, they fled like cowardly bastards.
The boys grew in freeom, we saved the whole world.

To see the world with sober eyes, if everybodies mind is paralyzed by thumping lies.
Looking in the face of their fake savior, this assassin of humanity, without respect, without fear.
Wee see the awful thoughts behind his golden words, we hear the coming doom.
There will be no paradise you'll never rule the few upright, the few, who think and act.
It's far beneath this nation's dignity who walk the tyrant's way.
Refuse to close our eyes, refuse to follow them, never sacrifice our animus.
We are no army they could fight against;
We are the poisoned youth, that still remembers liberty, that still his thinking free.
You didn't trample all the flowers before they spread their seeds.

The grass is green today, here where my brothers lay.
Buried in this goddanm ground, where I lost my life forever too.
How can it be?
The sun, it shines today over fieds and hills - where we lived in the mud.
Where we heard the thunder we met the beast of mandkind - as we arched into the fire.
No light, no wind, no calm.
It was no place on earth at all.
One by one my comrades died, sacrificed in the battle of brothers.
Thrown into the fire - to make a few meters of land.
We left our homes with a smile, as we arched to the music.
As we said farewell to our beloved, we felt like heroes so high awaited glory and honor.
Became cheap canonfodder instead the few.
Who returned are broken forever rain washed away our blood.
Our cries gone with the wind but forever in my head.
My soul has burned in the fire.
I had the hell on earth.
Will you remember?

Deep inside my heart, where their reign will get no power.
Where their violence can not hurt me.
I will breed the thoughts and ideals, that bring them down, down to their knees.
Their poisoned souls are wicked minds.
These eyes have seen the death of freedom, but no fist ever rose.
This righteous rage consumed by ignorance.
Freedom - My heart is strong.
One truth - I will not fall.
Passion - I'm not alone.
Denial - Your lies will burn.
My heart is strong, I swear I will not fall.
I'm not alone, I know we'll rise to bear the worlds in us.
They can't erase the world in me - too deep inside, too strong in me.
I'll bring it to life, more than just dreams.
The vision that keeps me upright their only truth will rot in peace, crack down their ideals.
I'll watch them burn, I'll see them fall.

One by one they fall - and I just close my eyes
It won't be over soon - do you regret this time?
I thought so many things were certain
So many friends turned to the ones I hate
You fade away forever - the hands of time
I wanna see the things just how they are feel them, like a child would do
Will this kid in me will survive this process?
Narrowed minds - I'll burst your mental chains even, if I'll live like them - my heart is free
I won't become a tool, a puppet
I'll bite the hand that wants to feed me
My will to live against your world of zombies
Blindfold the eye, that watches all of us and even, if I live like them my heart is free
I'll never walk your way - whatever it may take
You never break my will - whatever it may take

Architects of the apocalypse
Architects of the apocalypse

Greed and addiction drowned their pity
Washed away their thoughts of compassion and regret
A world left wounded, slaved and raped
Your paradise-a hell for your descendant
your descendant

Cathedrals of justice in a kingdom of hypocrisy
Castles of self-righteousness built on graves

Masses kept in forlorn, nations laid to waste
The dynamo of another golden age
Darkened our future, blind by greed
Sold your fate to the highest price

I, I cannot believe!
I, I cannot believe-in you!
You are the enemy!
You are the enemy!



A rush into our doom, as if your God came down
And cures all failure
A rush into our doom, as if your God came dowm
And cures all failure
cures all failure

Cathedrals of justice in a kingdom of hipocrisy
Castles of self-righteousness built on graves

I, I cannot beleive!
I, I cannot beleive!
You are the enemy!
You are the enemy!
the enemy!

Deceived of all your dreams
Betrayed by all your leaders
This shall no place to be
This, a dead-end future

Take a walk through grey, concrete deserts
Apathetic faces, empty eyes - the only thing you will see
A whole country bleeding to death
One big illusion - bleeding to death

No young hands to built it up
Cities fall to ruin
Just old men left to mourn
Four decades of a life denied
Abused good will to exploit us
Brothers turned to victors
Fooled by ancient propaganda
A bottle - your illusion
Your home just like a colony

Dreams torn to pieces, broken like glass
Hope faded away, withered like leaves
Not knowing is blessing, ignorance the only protection

Nothing is numbing my pain
The fragments of my faith
Became the blade in my hand
Just darkness my eyes see
Pushed me to the end of all dead-end-streets

A curse - cannot lie to myself
I'm doomed - cannot silence my heart
Fear is the tool, conformity our medicine

How can I smile as this age dies, like everybody else
Dancing around the fire, that burns this world

Cannot bend down, I would just break
I hate myself for playing their game
Parents poison their children, never teach them to question
If it only wasn't for this certainty in me
I am a giant in their tiny world

Champagne glas of blood and wine
On chocolate hearts alone I dine
Candles weeping waxing tears
Ten for roses each one a year - disappear

Arrows fester in my heart
Each memory another dart
Love and death both colored red
Showing my past, the dream is dead

Another lonley Valentine's Day
I can't believe that things turned
out this way
And though I hate to see you go
I know it must be so
Another lonely Valentine's Day

Nobody will break your fall
All for none, yeah, none for all
Nothings so cruel as the truth
Join the Festival of Fools

Nobody will break your fall
All for none, yeah, none for all
Nothings so cruel as the truth
Join the festival, my fools

Another lonley Valentine's Day
I can't believe that things turned
out this way
And though I hate to see you go
I know it must be so
Another lonely Valentine's Day

The dream is dead

A generation raised in darkness
Controlled, polluted - fed with the truth
A truth that blinds their view
Their ways and fates decided - implanted sorrows kill their needs
A common way to happiness, but I never learned to sell myself

Poets became silent,
While clowns arose and burned the books again
No thinkers daring vision grew,
Where thieves ran free and crippled human dignity
In the noise of unimportance
And stupidity the sceptic's whispers went unheard

Be sure, this storm will not drown my voice


Be sure, my hands will sow the seeds of reason
I'll never be a minor, I'll never be a happy slave

May this cold sever my face
And my the pain weaken my fists
No inner strife will touch me
The only truth is in my heart

Words - these words of freedom
A bequest - never to be silenced

In this world of lies, the truth, it means resistance
To make the masses see and sense their needs

He healed so many aching hearts and wounds
And threw back the baseness - back to where it came from

Aspired from the middle of his brothers
Charged this suffering and oppression
One single voice became a storm
His words and melodies - the weapon they fear

Threw back the baseness - back from where it came

Nobody is chosen to suffer
Nobody is destined to rule
Gagged his mouth but not his songs, the songs we sing
Fettered his hands but not the words he wrote
These songs we'll sing!

Risen from the ashes, the ashes of the dreams you burned
So many wars these eyes have seen
So many agonies my soul went through
I died with them so many years ago
Just in darkness my eyes see the world
There is nothing more to lose

Forlorn in desperation, the fruits of your power
A world of slaves and servants - the only aim to rule them all
Punishment to nonconformists, death and terror to the upright ones

Coups and interventions, nothing will be uncontrolled
My life against your reign
A final judgement will be given
You come with me, this is the end

A time will come for all of you
To harvest the storm


My blood will drown your flame of greed
The time has come for you:
To harvest the storm

No single tear, no single scream
A silent smile - the time is now
A moment of redemption
The time has come :
To harvest the storm

Kept away from daylight
Deprived from all the songs I loved
These walls may hold my body captive,
But my soul is attending every sunset
This is the hardest there was to walk,
But nothing I regret

Our death would only be the thing they're praing for,
Time won't force us to surrender,
Their crippled freedom is not the one we're longing for,
As all else failed we raised our fists and weapons,
Not born as soldiers, but driven to the end

These wounds will be like memories, enhancing my existence
And our scars shall be the seals of freedom
I know that time heals nothing
Never casting dwon my eyes before the tyrant's throne



I know that our screams will sound out to the world,
Our blood will be like water for the tree of freedom

These wounds will be like memories, enhancing my existence
These wounds will be like memories, cannot banish this idea
This idea will overcome all walls and fences
A young man's deeds became an old man's wisdom

See them die!
They Die!

A rain of blood should cover our world
Stench and decay should be the only thing we sense
But hidden in the dark and erased from our heads
Barbarity and slaughter are everywhere
A contemptible ethic, a relict

For the weakest of the weak
For the lowest of the low
My voice for the voiceless
My fists for the innocent
the innocent
the innocent

Voice of the voiceless
Voice of the voiceless

On the edge of a new age this is still our dogma

For the weakest of the weak
For the lowest of the low
My voice for the voiceless


My fists for the innocent
the innocent

No grave for millions - tortured creatures,
But a common grave for our morals
This slaughter - an ethic I deny

See them die!
They die!

An archaic way of thinking, so monstrous and absurd

For the weakest of the weak
For the lowest of the low
My voice for the voiceless
My fists for the innocent
