Fall of Carthage
Album • 2015
Consciousness, reflection, consideration Words we all have long condemned And with the everyday overstimulation we're exposed to our eyes became blind to the beauty and the concealed. we need to rely and focus upon the small things... upon the small things... to make the large things count Supplication and faith Won't prevent from the greed Dividing us all Sadly this much is true We are called upon to Recollect and Burn the riches down Don't dance With the witches Which ain't Switchin on No Burn the riches down Turn the fire on Bring the harvest home son Recollect yourself And clear your name Before this world goes up in flames Drop all the doubt Chop all strings Rely upon the small things Drop all the doubt Chop all strings Build upon the small things Upon the small things Atop of the wastings Not much left here Upon the small things Grow some value Upon the small things Consciousness, reflection and consideration Words we all have long condemned Upon the small things Consciousness, reflection and consideration Words we all have long condemned Upon the small things Consciousness, reflection and consideration

Pain. disgust. degeneration What you see? A stranger Backing out Leaving humanity blind A crack whore Soon to fall Breathe no more This stranger Left the course To walk without remorse Oh, what's left? A self-righteous life Amends for the wrong sense Prevent from a first-hand-degeneration Of skin and bones and mind and everything Done What I'll be? A winner Breaking out Leaving society stunned A top dog Biting deep See me score This stranger Left the course And brought the boad ashore Oh, this self-righteous life will break me Not gonna take this, no more. degeneration Can't it be forgotten now? degeneration No room for doubtful chances. degeneration No more wasted days, wasted life. degeneration Caught in my thoughts. degeneration After all the years of suffocation. degeneration

Let the fucking games begin And bring the foes right in We’re ready for the Dawn of the enemy Choose your weapon well Or go straight to hell This is your last chance Use it (now) And then again... You keep hiding from the call You ignore the deamons calling They set sail beneath the stars Just in time to see you falling You and me alone The smell of boiling chrome Unleash the beast inside yourself Trust yourself And you will find Your way to peace within You kept hiding from the call You ignored the deamons calling Trust yourself Believe in life And everything will fall into its place They set sail beneath the stars Just in time to see you falling You will see It's worth the fight The darkest days are numbered Let the fucking games begin And bring the foes right in We’re ready for the Dawn of the enemy

All the centuries And all the memories Of all the families On all the cemeteries What is your source of inspiration? What is your secret to find love within? Lost generations A million dreamers before you and me Have taken their knowledge and wisdom to their graves They're holding it forever to be lost They've not done well Time we're given on earth Wasted and forbidden wealth So precious it needs some privilege Some more true attention now For the sake of our children’s lives What is your source of inspiration? What is your secret to find love within? With a minimum of self-esteem it’s so ravelling Challenging, discouraging Questioning everything Start accepting! No one's unfailing! Imperfection, born with it, deal with this Imperfection (now) Imperfection There's nothing wrong with imperfection And when you're buried with your dreams and secrets Then you will take them all the way No recreation And when you're buried with your dreams and secrets You'll keep them forever with your talents and fears All the centuries, all the families, all the centuries, all the memories gone

Dishonor, rush and mocking Will unmask the denier On to deliver the secrets to the wind and fire All the years we grew around it Holding onto what we've founded Shallow ground and draining quicksand We're feeling at home in a wasteland Destiny was lost and found here With a melody so resounding Hateful thoughts outspoken This record is broken With a melody so resounding Complication abounding Disregarding this retarding But in fact we were crumbling long before We can't fight it, just devide into none Nothing's gonna be fine like before again (no more disgrace | no more false hope) Disintegration Hold on! Enough is enough when you're left to crawl with wounded knees Enough is enough stop the hurting Enough is enough when you're left to freeze with a burning heart Enough is enough Enough is enough stop it Enough is enough

You suffer Such a stray Scored again One more fault The night’s gone to sleep Vale of tears A strong impulse As you keep searching Just hangin in there again Hangover Hang with seven jacks A menace to myself (something) Balls have gone wild Tankin’ up since 1990, as i been (fuckin it up) Searching for something Searching Something Searching There should be no indifference No fuckin' compromise A menace to myself I need to regain my life Stop Can't stop to pull the plug on me I tried to do without for a hundred nights in a row now Still tired and unhappy Nothing has changed We suffer Such a stray Scored again One more fault The day's gone to sleep Vale of tears A strong impulse As we keep searching Something Just hangin in there again Hangover Hang with seven jacks A menace to myself Gonna toss more Tankin’ up since 1990, as i been Searching for something Searching Unconscious, unstable Hopelessly breathing my last breath I'm leaving to regain my life

What have What have we come to What have What have we done Now we are counting mistakes and each others flaws Instead of supporting and lift what we're dreaming of We wake up to gray days and paint black what is so bright We're dying slowly just like... Just like somebody in our dreams Condemns the sorrow and dulls all the extremes Just like somebody in our dreams Takes our hand to follow and remember what it means Oh what it means to be alive Create a world of joy and harmony Apart from what is pulling you and me Down and underneath Down and underneath This sore and bitter fainting reality What have we done... The diggin inside won't succeed The diggin inside won't succeed The diggin inside will result in more depression The diggin inside won't succeed The diggin inside won't succeed The diggin inside will result in even more suffering Just like somebody in our dreams Condemns the sorrow and dulls all the extremes Suffering. Just like somebody in our dreams Takes our hand to follow and remember what it means

13 years later Well known demons Beat me down the same I dwell on diehard disbelief And hide beyond the lie I have become Because of all the fucking therapies that made it worse And all the pills and meds that fixed nothing (nothing) Lost within the memories of days long dead (dead) Dead but sleeplees Sleepless since you're gone As i see all the pretty flowers (that) decorate your grave And when i'm talking to your brother bout the good old days I can't hold back the steady grief This recurring pain Life is not bad i must admit But it's just not the same Destructive thoughts The ages win I'm giving up, I'm giving in Left with myself This shit's devouring And power draining Sick of the echoes inside Recall Memories twist and rewind 'bove all Leave them behind Slowly dispatching the soul Now Spitting and throwing up gall Loss predefined One day we will meet again and talk it all over Until then i will just try and hang in there What else can i do Sick of the echoes inside That’s all Memories twist and rewind Let go Leave them behind Slowly dispatching the soul In this personal war Spitting and throwing up gall Loss predefined Get things straight As i see all the pretty flowers (that) decorate your grave (your grave) And when i'm talking to your brother Bout the good old days (good old old days) I can't hold back the steady grief This re-occurring pain (pain) Life is not bad i must admit But it's just not the same

Becoming more than nothing Is it so? Is this everything Life is offering? Is it true? Is this happening Really happening? If this is all I'm considering Becoming more And stop bothering Becoming more than nothing Becoming more than nothing We're built to self-destruct And function For the profit of a Misleading industry We drop with no surprise We're skilled to plan and manage Over-complex situations Yet our intentions To enhance Are kept denied We're drilled to Swallow all the bullshit That they serve us daily We're burning out Unless we're fired One by one Oh, this ain't life This is robbery This isn't worth All the bothering No Exploring new horizons Becoming more than nothing Been down there one Too many times This warning is Honestly serious The morning we won't wake up breathing There will be no last chance to start again No More than nothing More than nothing More than nothing

Sit back, switch on The comprehension is strong The curtain fell, the confrontation's pounding Truth surrounding Born free and open Criminal identities now (in) a world torn for rage and something more malicious Behold, betrayal Allow yourself to disavow Minute after minute there's endless gore Can't take it anymore. humiliation The military: religion-guided Far from rational War, you're signing in Kin extinction. this is operation descent Doomed, doomed you'll go down With the enemy's soul in its domination and it's on Unless you... Drop tradition, Terminate Drop religion, liberate Your life is not tradition, Religion-fake Shot dead, you're dead. drop dead, shot dead Throwback of a nation Dictation Foul obligation Mother earth devastation Limp generation Here you are right by yourself Realizing this one life you have Embrace it, embrace yourself and live!
