Rising Tide of Oblivion

This massive gallery of killing tools A mad number of technological miracles Weapons not only kill their targets They also kill those who pull the trigger Violence - the language of the weak Let the pen be mightier than the sword Wartime absurdity Is economy's prosperity Greed over conscience Mothers weep over their dead sons' bodies While prices are rising on the stock One man's sorrow - another man's pleasure? Is that it? Is that it? All these victims of greed and loss All these pictures you cannot forget All these victims of greed and loss All these pictures you cannot forget All these victims of greed and loss All these pictures you cannot forget A soldier's innocence Devoured by fierce memories Let the pen be mightier than the sword Let the pen be mightier than the sword One man's sorrow - another man's pleasure? Is that it? Is that it? Tamed, deceived Enslaved by power Lost, devoured Consumed with trauma. Enslaved by power The world devourers

Go! Cut my threads I'm nothing but a marionette Lies and clichés harm and ruin Our exchange of views Never thought this could be me Too weak to resist the flow Isn't it useless to speak of freedom of speech (When we only try to adapt to other people's opinions)? Cut my threads I'm nothing but a puppet I get frustrated when I look into the mirror I can't be proud of this face Smiling at me No, I don't want to follow No, I can't stand my face Bleeding, dying, torn Enmeshed in disillusion Stand the flow

Starting slowly, globally unnoticed, ignored Plans are made to add another black chapter to history Condemned to an ocean of shame A lunacy beyond my empathy First blood The beginning A civil war The first dead night... in Rwanda Rwanda! A nations' eye is installed A prophet of peace and justice His eyes are sharp, but his hands are bound Hate of the past grew between the two tribes Hell should rise Rise! Come on! "Exterminate!", they shout (An entire people to be erased?) First blood The beginning A civil war The first dead night... in Rwanda Rwanda! The beast in man was unleashed, in ecstasy of blood (Eight hundred thousand were brutally murdered and slaughtered) In just a hundred days

Ears deaf Eyes blind Mouth shut Day by day A victim after victim Mouth shut Day by day Blood runs softly down the screen Degenerating For the lifeless and the weak Degenerated Minds off - heart cold Into the state that leaves the blind unvoiced More illusions (more viewing figures) The great rebellion against reality Truth versus media. Obey the Pied Piper of this century There are barricades instead of trails And walls instead of bridges Walls instead of bridges - I can't fight no more Walls instead of bridges - Shall I fight for Walls instead of bridges - For this fucking doom? Walls instead of bridges Tear them down It's time to wake up No longer be a part of this nightmare In which violence and lies dominate Walls instead of bridges - I can't fight no more Walls instead of bridges - Shall I fight for Walls instead of bridges - For this fucking doom? Walls instead of bridges Tear them down!

Submission reigns Where independent thoughts sleep Blindness rules Where apathetic minds slumber Jihad, crusades, persecution, genocides Human lunacy in the name of god To justify the unjustifiable Religion, the great invention of man Submission reigns Where independent thoughts sleep Blindness rules Where apathetic minds slumber Mankind's crib of chaos The question of meaning and existence The great desire to belong To praise and submit Belief - your invention was a necessity But fanaticism is sheer abuse God's will, or your will? God's will, or your will? This is fucking scapegoating! A great home for thousands Providing temporary shelter and hope A god to trust in and find salvation ...Yet a perfect source of abuse

There are vast oceans of flames in me Oceans of flames ruling me, penetrating me Letting me speak But I can't scream no more Can't you hear my thundering silence? Can't you hear my silent screams? They're so loud, so loud Where have you been roaming lately? Have I seen you passing by? Or has it only been your shadow...? Let in some hot cold water and enjoy the rush And take a short bath in your wasteland Embrace this rush Enjoy the phases Can't you hear my thundering silence? Can't you hear my silent screams? They're so loud It's here and now It won't stay forever It's here and now It won't stay forever How come I've been carried away to these shores? How come you're not here? Have I expected you in vain...?

You are a threat to the world To its integrity, to its dynamics With a conscience on stand-by And a servile need to bow A puppet of politics you are Enmeshed in the all-consuming web of power You are the subtle voice of others Predictions are lies Deceive and misguide Your eye for an eye Has left you blind Reinventing black and white Division of good and bad The language of social regression The right cure for a wounded civilization? What have you done to bring peace? You have isolated your country These erected walls of pride are a defense A narcissistic attempt to become immune Become immune Blind, false and numb Blind, false and numb I don't envy you Your burden must be a hell of a curse Protagonist of the theater of the absurd A servile need to bow Predictions are lies Deceive and misguide Your eye for an eye Has left you blind Reinventing black and white Division of good and bad The language of social regression The right cure for a...

Rape of the soul Feel mighty now? For two hours she was your possession Your object of desire In your dirty arms Every minute under your sweat-stained body Steels years of her life The awful taste of your skin lies on her tongue She will always remember your disgusting face While her life disintegrates slowly So slowly She cried Confused She pleaded, "Oh, no more". She cried Abused She pleaded, "Oh, no more" But she couldn't escape This torment Raped and tortured Is this your definition of love? You bastards die a lonely death Rest in pain without regrets Devoured in your graves of guilt Fuck you I hate you I hate you You raped Disgraced Destroyed her very core. She cries Confused She pleaded, "Oh, no more" I hope one day, I hope one day you'll be... I hope one day you'll be the victim of her rage

If thoughts were tears If thoughts were tears Are you sick of yearning? This invisible fortress, this isolation Is your heart's cancer There's no reason hiding Your great walls of self-defense Pull them all down No need to retreat Your great walls of insecurity Pull them all down Listen to what isn't said See what is not shown Learn this language free from words Don't be deceived Becoming numb Is the sound of decay Self-censorship and deadening only false friends There's no reason hiding Your great walls of self-defense Pull them all down Remaining forever thoughtful A curse? No! It's the bold star to reach out for This is the path of prosperity A prosperity within This is the path of prosperity Made of thorns and broken glass This is the path of prosperity Made of thorns and broken glass Go! Listen to what isn't said See what is not shown Learn this language free from words Don't be deceived

I'll make you bleed for What others have done to me Words are written on my tongue Scars of torment carved into each corner of my dying mind Inhabited by self-hatred The day has ceased to breathe Night no longer sleeps Words unable to express This loss of dignity Inflicted by your ignorance Countdown is set for the implosion (I will take it out on all of you) The implosion I'll make you bleed for What others have done to me A million hands that maim my feelings And put out the dying light By fear forever haunted Watched by lying eyes No returning from what you made of me I'll reach out and drag you down with me

I left you alone It's only my fault I'm dying faced with all this uncertainty God, I'm begging, please Bring them back to me Seconds become minutes, become hours, become days Seconds become minutes, become hours, become days In my dreams I hear him whisper Laugh Their cry for help They shout my name Seeing his fucking face Which I hate Which I hate with every fiber of my heart Words can't express my disgust for you So young, so innocent Bring them back to me
