God's Army

|||
Verse 1:
Wafts of mist and the smell of war
in cities bombed to the ground.
Human beings buried forever
in ruins of their former homes.
Dirty bastards with covered faces
hiding behind their walls.
The stench of death expanding slowly
in those zones of terror and harm.
Chorus:
Thousands of soldiers heavily armed
to destroy the world we know.
Hatred has killed their hearts and souls,
Religion's their lame excuse.
Verse 2:
Bursting bombs and shooting guns
the sound of war in clouds of dust.
Faces marked by cruelty and pain
damaged by the burden of fear.
Innocent children straying around
their mothers' blood on their hands.
Forgot how to cry, forgot how to love.
They're just victims of this war
Chorus:
Thousands of soldiers heavily armed
to destroy the world we know.
Hatred has killed their hearts and souls,
Religion's their lame excuse.
Solo:
Chorus:
Thousands of soldiers heavily armed
to destroy the world we know.
Hatred has killed their hearts and souls,
Religion's their lame excuse.
This is God's army!
This is God's army!
Destruction is their only aim,
all in the name of God!
Outro:
Senseless blood in the name of God.
People dying in the name of God.
This is Satan's army!
The end of our world.

Liar
03:36
|

Verse 1:
You think you are just a victim,
a fallen angel, a tortured soul.
Wallowing in self-pity,
false tears running down your cheeks.
Verse 2:
Your burden is the best excuse,
for all you do, for all you say.
Self-confidently you decide
to take the law into your hand.
Chorus:
What you are called is a
Liar - there's no excuse,
Liar - with angel's eyes,
Liar - stop telling me
that you are sorry for your so called "destiny".
Verse 3:
You're a wolf in sheep's clothing,
a perfect actor, a clever thief.
Stealing all my confidence,
making a fool out of me.
Bridge:
I won't let you harm my dignity.
I won't let you destroy...
my faith in mankind an in justice,
listen what I say...
Verse 4:
I'm not your scapegoat anymore,
not the fool, not a clown.
It is me who is the victim
and the offender is you.
Chorus:
What you are called is a
Liar - there's no excuse,
Liar - with angel's eyes,
Liar - stop telling me
that you are sorry for your so called "destiny".
Liar - there's no excuse,
Liar - with angel's eyes,
Liar - stop telling me
that you are sorry for your so called "destiny"...

Scorched Earth

Intro:
Struggle... the fight begins...
Battle.... the better one wins...
Verse 1:
They were breaking the law, crossing the line.
Strucked down by the claw, now suffering for a long time.
When thousands burned and millions cried.
Stolen illusions as their system died.
Pre-Chorus:
Now it's time to rethink the matter,
can we draw the lessons from it?
Is it time to reconsider,
or do we want to end this way?
Verse 2:
We thought everything was meant for us.
Really well-working plan, but only if it does.
It was never enough, always just more.
Grudge and doom, blood and gore.
Pre-Chorus:
It's our turn to reach out hands now,
can we bear to lay down arms?
Now it's time to bow our heads,
so we can maybe rise again...
Chorus:
Dignity of men is unimpeachable.
How can we be so stupid to think so?
Darkness into light!
Supremacy has gone, we should pray and run.
'Cause we have proven to be
undignified!
Solo:
Bridge:
This is our downfall,
the nemesis of it all.
The fading of beauty,
our personal doomsday-party.
An inharmonic symphony,
extinction of our history.
Will we understand the signs, can we read between the lines.
Are we teachable or do we close our eyes to start again?
I let my gaze wander down on this scorched earth.
And I really wonder if this is just what we deserve.
Verse 3:
Human race is gone and nothing left.
This scourge of god, convicted of theft.
If you take all you want, no matter if it's not yours.
Devastated nature, stolen resource.
Pre-Chorus:
Then you pay the price of greed.
Was it really worth it buddy?
Is it time to reconsider
or do we want to end this way?
Chorus:
Dignity of men is unimpeachable.
How could we be so stupid to think so?
Darkness into light!
Majesty is gone, we should pray and run.
Mankind has proven to be
undignified!

Verse 1:
Tell me: where are we headed now?
I couldn't help but ask.
For I just realised, somehow:
This road won't lead us anywhere.
And with a smile you would respond:
"Let's just see this voyage through.
You can't escape this human bond.
Till now, our road was fair.", you'd swear.
Bridge 1:
But looking back,
there runs a crack.
Along our trail,
to end life’s tale.
Verse 2:
Still our leaders would only state:
"This way was our best choice.
We sought but warmth, a kinder fate,
displayed at times a little greed."
We've gone too far and can't return,
ignored the heralds' dry voice.
The world behind was left to burn,
these wasted fields will sprout no seed.
Chorus 1:
(The) thorns ahead will make us bleed.
Along the way, this is our creed:
"No one stays behind!"
(We) marched to plunder foreign lands,
destroyed the riches in our hands,
to vain ruin resigned.
Solo 1
Bridge 2:
And looking back,
there was a crack.
Among the crowd,
in greed enshroud.
Verse 3:
We finally joined the wandering kind,
no land to call our own,
get carried by a baleful wind,
to chase a vanquished dream of "home".
But when we chose the beaten track,
we should have long since known,
waiting for wrong choices to stack,
that, through empty sceneries, we'd roam.
Chorus 2:
(The) roads ahead will make us weep,
and deep regret won't let us sleep:
"Nothing's left behind."
(The) lands we plundered were our own,
and riches wasted dissension sown,
to vain ruin resigned.
Solo 2
Chorus 3:
(The) roads ahead will make us weep,
and deep regret won't let us sleep:
"Nothing's left behind."
(The) lands we plundered were our own,
and riches wasted dissension sown,
to vain ruin resigned.
One day, when we wanderers halt,
(we'll) ask which jackass was at fault.
Who chose the beaten track?

Vortex of Madness

Verse 1:
You're ruining my future, you don't give me any choice
Why do you push me out and close the door behind my back?
Verse 2:
You think you can ... take the easy way out?
You think you know ... what all of this is about?
Just be aware, ... I'm not your thing on a spring.
But let me tell ... you just one more thing.
Pre-Chorus:
Why are you doing this? I don't fucking know.
Are you aware of this? I don't think you care.
Why are you accusing me? Stop playing your fucking game.
Do you really think you'll find someone else to take your blame?
Chorus:
Vortex of madness, this is too real.
Drowning in sadness, you know how that feels.
Vortex of madness, tell me this isn't true.
You know my weakness, let me tell I will never forgive you.
Verse 3:
You never handled me with the necessary respect.
Just one more time you force me, force me to accept.
The only thing I'm sure is that the pendulum strikes back.
And rips your mental mask off your face when you least expect.
Verse 4:
You think you have ... full control over me?
You think you can live your life how it used to be?
Just be aware, ... I'm not your thing on a spring.
But let me tell ... you just one more thing.
Pre-Chorus:
Why are you saying this? You can't be fucking real.
Are you aware of this? You don't care how I feel.
Why are you teasing me? Stop playing your fucking game.
Do you really think that I'm the one to take your blame?
Chorus:
Vortex of madness, this is too real.
Drowning in sadness, you know how that feels.
Vortex of madness, tell me this isn't true.
You know my weakness, let me tell I will never forgive you.

Extinction Deserved
05:56
|
|||
Verse 1:
Abysmal wasteland, destruction laid bare.
Humanity's transgressions, the burden we share.
The earth bleeds, in agony she groans.
Her voice rises, to claim what we've known.
Chorus:
Extinction deserved!
Evolution denied!
The scars from our choices, we cannot hide.
For extinction is deserved, and evolution denied!
Verse 2:
Concrete towers crumble, symbols of decay.
Once vibrant landscapes, now lifeless, turned to gray.
Creatures mourn, their echoes lost in despair.
Nature's rage ignites, the fire we must bear.
Bridge:
Rivers run with poison, forests scream in pain.
Our arrogance and blindness, has driven us insane.
The cries of nature silenced, drowned in our disdain.
Extinction justified, and evolution in vain.
Chorus:
Extinction deserved!
Evolution denied!
The scars from our choices, we cannot hide.
For extinction is deserved, and evolution denied!
Verse 3:
Azure skies are tainted, by the ashes we've cast.
Humanity's epitaph, carved in stone at last.
The scales tipped, unbalanced, the future has passed.
In this catastrophic wasteland, our sins amassed.
Chorus:
Extinction deserved!
Evolution denied!
The scars from our choices, we cannot hide.
For extinction is deserved, and evolution denied!

Broken Fantasies
04:40
|
|||
Verse 1:
We used to play with puppets,
imagined they were real.
We treated them as children,
but cake would be their meal.
Then we dressed them up and
waited for the day,
when we could go our own way,
leave this play.
Then we would build our dreamland
of soulless building blocks.
Our fantasy created
a castle made of rocks.
Still, we would be waiting
till we came of age.
To flee those raising us and
turn the page.
Chorus 1:
In our paradise
we can fly.
Future’s golden lies,
we can’t die.
Verse 3:
Now we toy with people
as though they were not real.
Put up with their existence
if they all are brought to heel.
But puppets ain't like us,
we could just take their heart,
and reassemble them, once
torn apart.
We covered up with concrete
a forest, lush and green.
This paradise, in our eyes,
was beauty left unseen.
We can’t design our planet
like landscapes made of bricks.
We can’t retract the waste spread
despite our tricks.
Chorus 2:
But we’ll build paradise,
dreams designed.
Future’s golden lies
of mankind.
Broken fantasies
in my eyes.
Lost in deep regret,
my hope dies.
Chorus 3:
But we’ll build paradise
on your way.
Future’s golden lies,
fade to grey.
Broken fantasies,
no child to blame.
Lost without your wings,
lost your game.

All In Vain
03:06
|
|||
Verse:
Think you are an adult? Think you are long grown?
Taking for yourself all you can get for you alone?
Living in emotion throwing only stones.
Now it is too late, this world has been blown.
Chorus:
What you do is what you get
no one can escape the end.
It's too late to leave the train
nothing left, it's all in vain.
Verse:
Think you are an angel? Never done a wrong?
You can never pay what all you really own.
The others are the guilty? You have done your all?
No one left on this earth can throw the first stone.
Chorus:
What you do is what you get
no one can escape the end.
It's too late to leave the train
nothing left, it's all in vain.
Bridge:
Pride, greed, envy. Out of control.
Rage, spite, hatred. Tempers of us all.
Chorus:
What you do is what you get
no one can escape the end.
It's too late to leave the train
nothing left, it's all in vain.
