State Of Decay
05:35
|
|||
We are at war, an eye for an eye
Gruesome decor, the fight to survive
Envy and hate, desire and greed
Don't dare to ask, “is this what I need?”
(chorus)
State of decay
World in dismay
Strive to possess
Want more, no less
I want, I want, I want
Two fighting dogs, the fight for a bone
The third picks it up, has already flown
No empathy, I do note care
It’s about me, others may stare
(chorus)
I want, I want, I want
You must lay down, your selfishness
Open your eyes, stop this madness
share what you've got, but not to impress
a good heart intents, to others a bless.
(chorus)

Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive dissonance 2x
Choices we make, what’s good and bad
and the way we think.
Choices we make, actions we take
and the way we think.
They give gladness or give sadness
Just make your choice without dissonance
Cognitive dissonance 2x
To have a meaning
To keep a meaning
When things get out of hand
To have a meaning
To keep a meaning
When you walk on quicksand
Thoughts give gladness or give sadness
Just make your choice without dissonance
solo Roger
A. Einstein: “The fate of humanity is entirely
dependent upon it's moral development”
Wisdom is tolerance of cognitive dissonance
A dissonance of mind
We all know what to say
Dissonance makes blind
Keeps the truth away

Bloodbound
03:55
|

Physical born, sons of Adam
born in sin, we are all.
Spiritual born, called sons of God
salvation for your soul
Brothers in the blood
Blood was shed for, you and me so
humble and bow your knee.
Shed to reveal, the power of God,
it sets the captives free
Blood
solo Mauce
If you want to, live forever,
accept His sacrifice.
His blood will clean, your soul from sin,
For you He paid the price.
"Great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh
justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world,
received up into glory."

Grave Mystery
06:33
|
|||
(chorus)
The sun I feel through the clear skies
That bright star will never die
to see that beauty makes me aware
Is there a creator, who sees me stare?
Forces and powers shown on the earth
and living creatures, they give birth
To see that beauty which fills my heart
I stand in awe to see that work of art
(bridge)
I wonder how this all is designed.
I wonder if it is coincidence.
I wonder how my heart beats inside.
Every beat a grave mystery.
(chorus)
Awesome creatures down below
In total darkness they can glow
High in the sky a predator fly
in search to kill be slaughtered or die
(bridge)
Light, sky, sea, land,
grass, seed, tree, sun,
moon, star, fish, bird,
men, woman, all a grave mystery
it's a grave mystery
Blood, that flows through the veins.
Blood, to feet and to brains.
Blood, all good things remains.
Blood, gives life through the veins.
Earth; the planet of life
Air; that's why we survive
Light; does everything grow
Sea; with water that flow
(chorus)

Memories
05:48
|

What once was, will never be
What once was, you'll never see
What once was, is clear to me
What once was, I still can perfectly see
What I see, is still in my mind
Is it sad, or very kind?
You can't judge, about things I see
Memories, they will never flee
Memories never die 2x
What once was, I want to hear
Memories, year after year
What once was, I want to see
Memories, they are the key
Never let go, your memories
Never ignore, your memories
He who forget, what's left behind,
The future for him, will be unkind.
The memories never ... die.
solo Roger
Never let go, your memories
Never ignore, your memories

Boots On The Ground

Boots on the ground 2x
Face the enemy, and look in his eye.
Tell me what you see, is he afraid to die?
Pull the trigger and be sure, that you will shoot as first
Or be slaughtered by your enemy's, anger and bloodthirst
Boots on the ground
the fear of death is in their eyes
Boots on the ground
Afraid to loose their precious lives
Boots on the ground
No matter what they think of me
Boots on the ground
Obedience is what they'll see
Take your seat behind the stick, and move your drone at will.
Push the button to release; mayhem that will kill
At the end of all day work, go home and have your meal
Enjoy your family and forget, what happened 'cause that's the deal
Ignorance
Taking orders that is what I do
Responsibility
Fear
On the other side of the world.
Care
Stay away from feelings
solo Mauce
It is easy to kill when there's ,no fear for your live
Nor your beloved ones, have to think of the afterlife
War has changed over the years ,makes easier to kill
Mankind needs to repend, and submit to God Almighty's will

Silent Suffering
In fullness of life, when nobody knew.
a sickness ahead, came out of the blue.
The doctors said "Your life will change for good
Savor while you can!" Disrupt motherhood!
Silent Suffering
When the years passed by, you did never drift.
You never gave up, a warrior's gift.
When your end had come, you smiled 'Goodbye all,
we will meet again!". Your last breath and call.

Time
04:46
|

Time, runs slowly,
Time, always the same
Time, for some the past
Time, some hope it lasts
Time, slips through our fingers
Time, the memory lingers
solo Mauce
We've got enough, time in our lives
It only depends on how we spend it
Avoiding that time, can cut like a knife
By choosing how to use it
We've got enough, time in our lives
It only depends on how we spend it
Avoiding that time, can cut like a knife
By choosing how to use it
From the dust where we come from
to the dust we will return
The future of men, comes very fast
we must let go of our past
Time, runs slowly,
Time, always the same
Time, for some the past
Time, some hope it lasts
Time 4x

Once Bitten, Twice Shy
08:31
|
|||
Everything you've build is ruined
Gravestones are in the inneryard
Your dreams are shattered
All that's left is .... dust
The lessons from the past
are wisdom for the future
Now... it's time to build again
Once bitten, twice shy
If you fall, don't get disencouraged
Get up on your feet and remember
succes is 'getting up for the last time'
United we stand,
Devided we fall.
Pursueing your dreams,
Work hard and stand tall.
The road to hell,
is paved with good intentions,
Think for yourself
and make your own decisions.
Think big,
Learn from,
Your past.
Search your heart for peace.
Hold tight onto truth.
Kneel down on your knees.
Be thankful for prove.
