Brought to the court, the liar Desecreted their holy ways Heretic is the Master Ban the books, feed the flames ’And yet it moves’ Held in the dark, not a glimpse of sunlight Now, will you place your trust in me? Blinded, rooted by the chains surrounding you Rejecting all different views Open your eyes, shake off the chains The funeral of our minds can’t befall again Rather be slave on false lands, Than sail in the storm of truth Only a few take the stand Questioning ancient rules Fear of the dark, but a glimpse of sunlight Now, will you place your trust in me? Climbing, crawling, the wardens’ eyes following through You can feel that he is you Open your eyes, reach for the key Time won’t stop even if we live in the past Open your eyes, shake off the chains The funeral of our minds can’t befall again Denying what we can’t understand, These shackles of society keep us from progression Chained by doubts Where certainity is just a dream Open your eyes, just reach for the key Time won’t stop even if we live in the past Open your eyes, shake off the chains The funeral of our minds can’t befall again
Mother put your children to sleep Protect them, from all disease In vain... They were born to the wrong place! You need to be strong, Until hard days are gone. They were born in the wrong age! So I raise my fist, to Tyranny! Took my life, made my sacrifice, For freedom, I gave my life! The day is here, You will be free. From all despair, That hunts your dreams. Just carry on, You have to live for your child! What will you give? To stay alive Need to sacrifice Patriotism, values and moral To live on you need to deny your past To stay alive What will you give? Will we die? No one's left behind, To tell the world These wild, dark times. If there is someone staying alive Can he recall as it was? No, it can't be, That all hearts are Spilling blood in vain Yeah... it is like that, It is all the same! All revolution are followed by strafe. The day is here, You will be free. From all despair, That hunts your dreams. Just carry on, You have to live for your child! What will you give? To stay alive Need to sacrifice Patriotism, values and moral To live on you need to deny your past To stay alive What will you give? What will you give? To stay alive Need to sacrifice Patriotism, values and moral To live on you need to deny your past To stay alive What will you give? To stay alive Need to sacrifice Patriotism, values and moral (March to die) To live on you need (march to die to tyranny) to deny your past (March to die) To stay alive (March to die) What will you give?

It’s time to make up the rhymes To a life left long behind Be the words my guests And the ink to attest Welcome to the theatre of lies The drama of my life Dear little boy listen well to the true tale When the first light Shines through dark cloud I am safe in here In my Mind Sanctuary His only wish to break the gyves Imposed by the High Court of Mind That dwells inside He launched a journey In quest of the way back home With high hopes what to escort You can’t change the screenplay Or ask for a short delay You’re only given the lines Either play it wrong or right Welcome to the theatre of lies The drama of my life Dear little boy listen well to the true tale Never make the same mistake Playing roles only work for those Who act on stage But the wage is too low to deny and ignore myself When the first light Shines through dark cloud I am safe in here In my Mind Sanctuary Will they take you? Or leave you alone, In slow decay. You’ll face your own fears Or stumble in your sins So you lost control I’ll live my own destiny It’s shaking ground, raging sea, its now history… Now it’s just history When the first light Shines through dark clouds I am safe in here In my Mind Sanctuary Welcome to the theatre of lies The drama of my life Dear little boy remember the true old tale For the precious time I’ve lost I make up ’cause I paid its cost The price of salvation

“The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.” Max De Pree Mindless lambs praise the butcher! Sacrifice your dearest daughter Dig your head deep in the sand Our fairytale is at hand. Driven mad by power, It’s all their hearts desire. Enough are empty words, You follow the bleat of the herd. Ignorant, helpless prey None may disobey L’état c’est Moi Oh naive lambs, resound the butcher? Can’t you hear the screams of slaughter? Many have died for the freedom of speech, Tainted democracy ain’t what we seek Mainstream corruption, hidden truth Denying all they can not undo Disagree, felony I am the remedy Oh naive lambs, resound the butcher? Can’t you hear the screams of slaughter? I am the Maker, forger of fates. The one to close the infernal gates. Don’t ask, don’t think, wander in the mist, ’Till all your doubts cease to exist! I am your God Just praise my name Forevermore Oh naive lambs, resound the butcher? Can’t you hear the screams of slaughter?

True patriots, mislead souls Uncovered graves of a million Without names on „Come here son, Shake a hand In honor of your dead, For the virtue of man.” We obeyed all commands Followed path of scarlet moon. Our life is like an endless night But we’ll see the dawn to come. Children of the scarlet moon, A fallen leaf for each mans life We are fighting for our land By winter it comes to an end True patriots, mislead souls Uncovered graves of a million Without names on „I dont want your hand You could have prevent This bloodshed should not have happened.” We obeyed all command Followed path of scarlet moon. Our life is like an endless night I still wait to see the dawn. Children of the scarlet moon, A fallen leaf for each mans life We are fighting for our sons This shall make our will stay strong. Ones count the loss Blame others to pay the costs Finding scapegoats for Acts they want to ignore But for a war One is not enough To be carried out We did raise arms too And this is what we cannot undo Streets full of crime Isn't that enough for us Still we enter fights On governmants’ behalf We obeyed all command Followed path of the scarlet moon. Our life is like an endless night But I see no dawn to come. Children of the scarlet moon, A fallen leaf for each mans life We are fighting for our sons But I can take no more

Subjugation Pollution Exploitation Just another footprint in our Nature Out of Grace No one cares No one tries This way we'll just slowly die Endowed with might and glory Obsessed with your monetary World Oh… Do you want to lie on fields Where engines already yield with anger and mighty wheels? Disregard is all that we’ve done Disgrace is all that we are no matter what’s at stake. Can you have enough? Or ever suppress the lust? To preserve what you’ve got We have to complete this task You are only concerned at the 11th hour When you scarcely can hear Nature’s shout to Existence When our great mother nature Can offer no more resistance Its time for breaking the system Now I see noble things, Giving righteous speech, but till we are unwilling to accept But till we are loth To resign from gains Nothing will ever change Can we have enough? Or ever suppress the lust? To preserve what we’ve got We have to complete this task You are only concerned at the 11th hour When you scarcely can hear Nature’s shout to Existence When our great mother nature Can offer no more resistance Its time for breaking the system Now Day to face Day to care Day to try Destruction was never justified Have you ever wondered if you have the right? All that we dispose, not asked for still it grows We have a lot we owe It's aim to meet your need, but not your swollen greed And provide a life of ease You are only concerned at the 11th hour When you scarcely can hear Nature’s shout to Existence When our great mother nature Can offer no more resistance Its time for breaking the system Now The Day of Reckoning will arrive Pull our knees to the ground And we just can’t fight You can be sorry for all the harm and abuse But nature will show no mercy, no excuse

Every waken hour, every night How could you leave without me? Rhymes we used to write are hollow now False notes of my life Falling into a dream, death's sweet embrace Hearing your screams, free me All the sacred memories Sharpened knives, tools of misery Six feet deep you sleep, still no tears Empty shell that remains Falling into a dream, death's sweet embrace Seeing your name above me I can’t wait till my time comes Now I have to make my own leaf fall Falling into a dream, death's sweet embrace Feeling you deep below me In my life I lived for you Final breath shall bring me to Leave, leave it all behind By your side
“Black was the blood of the mother of Sorrow Her love-child has her heart, disgraced hollow” “Come Mother, see your fallen son” “Divided in his broken heart, Drown in tears of unborn eyes that Cry for new life” Redemption, Salvation Come all the evils and free my soul from the Cage of empty dying thoughts of Crestfallen Not the way of life But the rules you apply Are the ones to determine Who you are Come all the fallen and heal my scars from the Burning blades of unknown world that Seals my fate In this life To know what’s inside To know yourself Is the hardest thing ever All through my life I was yearning for freedom and Give away the half of my soul to achieve Liberty Come all the ghost of the unknown and rest in my Shattered lonely blackened shell of Flesh and Blood I’m longing for some Light I’m longing for freedom My name is the unborn My name is the Dead Boy I’m longing for some Time I’m longing for deadlines My name is the blood crime My name is the No One All through my life I was yearning for freedom and Give away the half of my soul to live I will make you someone With power through Time and Light I will make you someone With own name For Everyone

Nothing to live for, no one to die for. This is the end, the end of eternity. Do you remember days of the past? Carefree laughter faded so fast Immortal dreams of kings and queens Childsplay now in cold reality. Sanctuary of a fragile soul Concealed heaven under scarlet moon Breaker and forger of my chains You weaved my fate. How much is the cost of pride? I’m screaming, I'm pleading Silent voice for deafened hearts Nothing to live for, no one to die for. This is the end, the end of eternity. No chance for rebirth, no hope for wonders This is the end, the end of eternity. I must endure this pain, and be whole again Cleanse myself and reach serenity Betrayed by the morning star How should I walk down my path? Trust lost forever, love left this world Is romanticide my only way out? How much is the cost of pride? I’m screaming, I'm pleading Silent voice for deafened hearts Nothing to live for, no one to die for. This is the end, the end of eternity. No chance for rebirth, no hope for wonders This is the end, the end of eternity. I must endure this pain, and be whole again Cleanse myself and reach serenity Tear my heart, rape my soul Bring me down, destroy me whole Tear my heart, rape my soul Bring me down, destroy me whole Nothing to live for, no one to die for. This is the end, the end of eternity. No chance for rebirth, no hope for wonders This is the end, the end of eternity. I must endure this pain, and be whole again Cleanse myself and reach serenity No chance for rebirth, no place for bloodthirst This is the end. the end, End of Eternity

Whisperers, deceivers Promise you all your dreams Then drain you dry while still believe Blindly Is it a sin not to fight? Just wait for dreams to come alive? No more stress for my part, If higher powers write the story of my life. Give us your freedom We’ll enlighten the path No one's born to be ruled in this life Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones. Let your own hands carve the path For we make our own Paradise Whisperers, deceivers Convince you they’ve got what you need But in the end they sacrifice the weak Dreamers How will I face my conscience in the end? If others dictate my course of life? Will I be able to make amends, If I ran away from all the strife? Give us your freedom We’ll enlighten the path Ours’ is the only way On your terms you shall fail No one's born to be ruled in this life Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones. Let your own hands carve the path For we make our own paradise Through the life we are leading In this world we all live in Confide in all but yourself And you shall burn in this hell You feel you’ve given your all You feel you can do no more Don’t forget the hypocrisy of hope, Your best friend, mortal enemy No dream can come alive Without tears and sacrifice. Standing tall, reaching for the sky You will build your own Paradise No one's born to be ruled in this life Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones. Let your own hands carve the path For we make our own Paradise No one's born to be ruled in this life Neither by mortals nor heavenly ones. Let your own hands carve the path For we make our own Paradise We make our own paradise
