Bombs And Bullets

Some are gonna fall and some are gonna carry
Some are gonna leave and some are gonna marry
Some are gonna swim and some are gonna fly
Some are gonna live and some are gonna die
Hey, have you heard the rich man tell the poor
how he is gonna bring food to their door?
Come on down, get on board
he´s gonna get you your reward
Have you heard the coward tell the brave
how to be the hero of the state
All it takes is one more vote
Never believe the word of a thief
Or blindly accept the creed of regimes
Here´s what they´re trying to hide:
They sell bombs and bullets
The promise of wealth by harvesting shells
A false flag rhetoric that acts like a spell
Here´s what they´re trying to hide:
They sell bombs and bullets
Some will have to stay and some will have to run
Some will have stretchers, some will have guns
Some will volunteer and some will take turns
Some will be buried and some will be burned
Hey, have you heard the rich man tell the poor
how he is gonna bring food to their door?
Come on down, get on board
he´s gonna get you your reward
Have you heard the coward tell the brave
how to be the hero of the state
All it takes is one more vote
Never believe the word of a thief
Or blindly accept the creed of regimes
Here´s what they´re trying to hide:
They sell bombs and bullets
The promise of wealth by harvesting shells
A false flag rhetoric that acts like a spell
Here´s what they´re trying to hide:

No One
03:03

Is there no one out there who could stop all them priests from shoving their dicks into boys?
Is there no one out there who could teach all them kids, that cocaine just ain`t worth dying for?
Is there no one out there who`d spread out the wealth and takes care that all cups get filled?
Is there no one out there who is sick of the lies and yearns for an answer that fits?
When will we fucking understand that there is no angel trumpet band, no feathered alien sounding off the horn.
If the good lord only saves your ass if we own a diamond pious pass, better go save it on our own.
Was there no one out to explain to old Joe that girls can’t get pregnant from ghosts?
Was there no one out there to tell all them fools, they better start building a boat?
Was there no one out there, cowboy by heart, who spoke out that horses don´t fly?
Was there no one out there, who thought during prayer, this is just a waste of time?
Do you really wanna kill yourselves for ancient books on dusty shelves or relics buried deep within a cave.
Wanna tell your sons and daughters that hell will be upon them if they dare to masturbate?
Is there no one out there?
No one who cares?
No one who cares?
No one out there?
Faith will make us fall behind the progress of enlightened minds who fought all those ludicrous claims.
Don`t we owe it to the men who wrote all of those theorems that we stop acting as slaves?
There is someone out there, who will answer your prayer and bring back your child from the dead.
There is someone out there, ready to share, he will give you his last piece of bread.
There is someone out there, who really does care, he won`t let you die for your sin.
There is someone out there, honest and fair, with morals that come from within.

Still There Is War
06:12
|
|||
Oh, I´m so sorry,
I hate to tell you, still there is war
Baby, I tried
to beat the grimness at the core
All the dirt and godless blight
the empty smile, God, I am so tired
I beg for reason, I kill for hope
And though I feel like crying, I`ll shed no tears no more
My eyes are burning, all I see is red
I feel like I’m turning, I am shedding skin
My lips are toxic, my kiss is dead
The remnants of passion are all what are left
Guns keep on searching
to ease their hunger for headshots
White flags are burned
as hearts pumped hate instead of blood
The thunder of the battlefield, god, it hurts so much, only pain to yield
Shots are fired though the end is sealed
No rocket fire ever cured loves disease
A great hell is brewing, it`s a serpentine, it keeps spitting out venom as it hisses screams
Reason is suffering, love has lost
There were always be victims, this time, it is us
Not a word we said, not a thing we did
could convey the pain or erase the stains
´cause triumph by fire burns the Just and raises doubt where once there was trust
Still there is war…

Lucifer
06:17
|
|||
Rockets and famine, pollution and death,
Terror attacks, corporate theft,
Pandemics, tornados, peace invasion.
Poverty, racism and slavery,
economic collapse, inequality.
Laws to defend the best of thieves.
Don’t let her fall asleep
or darkness will return,
for if she snoozes off
our kind no longer learns.
Don’t let her fall asleep,
don’t let her fall asleep,
don’t let her fall asleep,
wake up, Lucifer!
Global warning, the future is fucked,
we ignored all the facts, gambled on luck.
Did anyone check the doomsday clock?
Slaughter the oceans, blacken the sky,
deliver tomorrow or refund our time.
Let`s invest our coins in corporate crime.
Don’t let her fall asleep
or darkness will return,
for if she snoozes off
our kind no longer learns.
Don’t let her fall asleep,
don’t let her fall asleep,
don’t let her fall asleep,
wake up, Lucifer!
Lucifer!
Lucifer!
Oh princess of light, keeper of human lore.
Denier of faith, please help us evolve.
Great accuser, awake, arise and behold,
the outcome of ignorance unfolds.
Behold
We are lost, we are a blind, we are killing our kind,
our gold rush will soon dry out our supplies.
A price on affection, a plastic addiction,
clean our conscience by signing petitions.
Our mutual future is what we consume,
warlords and stores are building our tombs.
We build virtual worlds to escape what we did,
virtual worlds to hide our kids.
Yet they will have fill the holes that we drilled,
they’ll have to clean the blood that we spilled.
Foam on the beaches, oil sucking leeches,
nature is acting while we are giving speeches.
Oh Lucifer, I beg thee,
fiat lux, fucking see.
Wisdom grows exponential, hence does stupidity.
Hence does stupidity.

Hooked On Hope
08:36
|
|||
The word has found its way to my ear, you want to face your fears, trade the day for the night.
Life a life of dissapointment. I wonder what it is, you hope to find in the neon light.
Every morning starts with bitternes, you´ll hunger for my kiss. I imagine the face you´ll make
when you open up your little crest and find another test which you are bound to fail.
I am ready for you magic trick, lets see you heal the sick. Perhaps you should be telling jokes.
Keep on fixing all your toxic lies and fly to paradise, build a house out of chocolate stones.
Why confirm reality, another anomaly, now that you are immune to shame.
Why vomit at the morning sun if you could be the star in a blood-soaked ballet?
You are the star
Hooked on hope, fixing lies
You´ve overdosed on sweet denial
Well, you wont make it
No fucking way
I´ve told you before
You are here to stay
I own the maze in which you´re lost
You cannot escape, the roads are closed
The roads are closed
The roads are closed
Hooked on hope, fixing lies
You´ve overdosed on sweet denial
You´re here to stay, the roads are closed
You can´t escape, there´s no way out...
