Prelude To Death

I don't care
What they have to say
I’m stuck in here
Between these 4 walls they stand and pray
For my dying soul
Silence and despair
Fall together in air
Singing a Prelude to Death
He walks in
Dressed all in black
Sits next to me and says
‘’I’m here for you, tired soul, your time has come, again
Take my shivering hand’’

Requiem

Old man:
The clock is ticking away
There’s nothing left to say
And I don’t know what to do
I’m stuck in here with you
Death:
Don’t be afraid my child
I’m only a messenger of time
Deliverer of truth and calm
Here to show you the sins and mistakes that you made
Your whole life’s behind you
A new world upon you
You have to let me know your regrets
The smiles you faked the tears you cried
They made you who you are
A scared old man in the dark
Old man:
You want to know who I am
I traded my life for the others
I suffered the things that they couldn’t
I stood alone against evil, in times of need
I woken up in a World
Filled with hatred and pain
Lust, hunger and chains
We were chained to the system
Brainwashed by their wisdom of control
My whole life’s behind me
A new world upon me
You have to listen to my regrets
The smiles I faked and the tears I cried
They made me who I am
A brave old man left in the dark
I’ll tell you all you want to hear
All the moments when you fell
The little things that make you see
That life’s so beautiful within

Stop, Rewind

Spoken (old man’s voice): So you’re telling me I have to explain my whole life to you, right? And I should start from the top, right? Well then it all started the day I was born.
How the hell did I get in here?
I had to get out so,
I crawled through a tunnel
To get on the other side
My head was too big to fit
And my hands were too small to fight
Someone pulled my head out
And I saw the light
I soon came to realise
That I was alive!
I am alive!
They threw me on a table
And washed my dirty face
I thought they were going to eat me
But that wasn’t the case
They wrapped my in some towels
And passed me all around
But when they got tired
They gave me to my mom
Ohh I just stared into her eyes
Endless hours hypnotized
They looked like they were crying tears of joy, yeah
They looked like they were mine forever in time
Mother, tell me, ohh why you
Brought me in this world
I promise that I’ll never let you down
But I’m afraid, yeah I’m so afraid
Of the world outside
Don’t be, my love
I will always be with you, forever and ever
When you stumble across a path
I will always guide your steps
When you walk away, Into the shade
You wanna fight alone, That’s a big mistake
The world outside, Is a crazy place
You lose yourself, In a million ways
You fall in the dark, And you can’t get up
Remember, I will always be there with all my love for you!

Apocalypse
04:21
|
|||
|
I grew up in a small town
It was sunny everyday
My friends were all around me
I wish those days would stay
I only saw the good things
In this small world around me
I couldn’t realise
How life was going to be
Running up and down the street
Looking for some fun
Killing time with endless games
Until summer was gone
But then it came the day
When all this had to end
They piled us all together
And told us where to stand
We really don’t know why
We look the same
We really don’t know why
We’re dressed the same
We really don’t know how
We got in here
We really don’t know why
We have to raise our hands to talk
I was looking for my mom
She was smiling in the corner
She told me not to worry
Everything was in order
The teacher came and told me
Welcome in the system
Education is your new friend
You are here to obey and listen
Sitting in my bench
Waiting for the bell
To ring and set us free
I was never coming back
I ran like hell to home
My heart was filled with sorrow
Just so they could tell me
I was going back tomorrow
I cried all day
I didn’t want to go back
They told me is alright
Everybody went through that
School is here to help you
Make you smart and steal your dreams
Teach you how to stay in line
And obey the ones that preach
I wanted to be a poet
Travel around and see new places
To write about the people
And the smiles on their faces
But they kept me in a classroom
That was cold, dark and sick
They asked about our homework
And they chose someone to speak
One day he picks me
To stand up all alone
I was writing in my book
Didn’t know what was going on
He says, dreaming is for losers
Imagination is a sin
Now throw your book away
And pay attention to me
I’ll show you how to win this game
And get on top of the world
Make lots of money and enjoy all that is known
And one day you will graduate

White Lies
03:53

|
Welcome! To the big city life
You’re all grown up now
So be careful who you fight
We’ve got all that you need
And all that you despise
Alcohol is everywhere
So keep your brain intact
Run away, Keeping safe
Having fun, It's back in town!
You and your mates
Were trying to be free
So now that you’re here
Enjoy your liberty
Run around naked
Get drunk on a Monday
Get stoned the next day
Repeat till you get crazy!
White lies is what they told ya
Come with me and be yourself
Find a way to keep me sane
The streets are empty and pretty cold
It’s time to fill them with our souls
The vibe keeps growing, don’t stop now
I love you, I hope you love me
Remember that night we came so close to known
How love feels and how it grows, in us
You took my hand and we flew away, in space
Never to come back, we found a new place

Infected

Working my ass out for them
They didn’t wanna know, they didn’t wanna show
How less they care, about me
They think they rule the world
5 years passed since I’ve been happy
I’ve been wasting my life in a box
Surrounded by idiots, fools and shit
I have to get out of here
There’s nothing left to say
I have to get out of here someday, someway
They’ve managed to control the media
Isn’t that weird? My mind’s infected with shit!
Corruption and greed, run reckless in the street
The values of the new society
Hunger and despair remain behind
An iron veil of ignorance and hate
Every day, It’s all the same
Maniacs run the game
Now It’s time to fight!
There’s nothing left to do
I have to get out of here with you, yeah you!
They’ve managed to control public opinion
Isn’t that fun? Their brains are gone!

Past the forest and the fires lay desires
Of the righteous soul to seek its peaceful place
Many years that come and go they teach you how
To look for simple pleasures that surround you now
Peace and love
Nature and man
Family, ecstasy and time
Past the forest and the fires lay the secrets
Of the one that guides you up into the heavens
You grow old with your beloved both surrounded
By your family, friends and children, you are bounded
Peace and love
Nature and man
Family, ecstasy and time
Past the forest and the fires lay desires
Of the righteous soul to seek its peaceful place
Many years that come and go they teach you how
To look for simple pleasures that surround you now
But one day I heard the news
All the secrets had been true
They were coming back

The Revolution
06:37
|
|||
|
They’ve just announced a new world order
Devils for leaders and fear for borders
Divide and conquer a weak humanity
Manipulation and sacred profanity
We have to rise and stand against them
Awake your spirit and come together
Their evil minds will try to seduce you
Now or never
Unite forever!
They had this planned centuries ago
Fuelled by an energy that came from down below
World domination is their sick dream
Dividing us from our God and energies within
We have to rise and stand against them
In all those painful years
Growing all alone
They taught me only one thing
To care about my own
But now the time has come
To unite with everyone
To stand against the Dark
The revolution has begun!
Spreading lies and fear among us
Intimidation is what they count on
Fake diseases to keep us wondering:
‘’Social isolation or is this just bullshit?’’
Awake your spirit and come together
The occult has awaken
All the saints and the martyrs
The third eye has awaken
To observe its new creation
A new world is upon us
The free world is now behind us all
We now have to fight all together
The armies of the heavens are with us
Ready to collide with the darkness

The Cure Of Life
08:13
|
|||
|
Back in here with you
The world seems so much better
Many years have passed
But we’re together
You’ve listened to my life
But now I wonder what you’re going to do
I’m so afraid, I’m so alone
death:
You are a brave man
At the end of a road
You lived with courage
But know it's time to go
Before, I want to show you
What you think you’ve missed
You think you’re all alone
But that’s just a myth
Look at the bright side
Your family’s here with you
Your wife is holding your hand
And the children are smiling too
You’re going to a better place
I’ll show you how
But before we do that
I want you to tell them now
Tell them that you love’em
Tell them you have faith
Let them know how you feel like
Before it is too late
Turn and kiss your wife
You loved her everyday
Don’t you have no worries
She knows that anyway
Ohh yeah, She knows that you’re alive!
And if you’re scared
Grab her by the hand
You’ll see her on the other side someday!
And if you feel alone
Just ask and you’ll be shown
The cure of life lies in you
old man:
Never in my youth
Could I see the truth
That this thing called death
Is just another step
Life’s a big circle
Spiralling up and down
By the end of the day
It’s just round and round
Thank you for the moments
When you made me feel alive
For being right beside me
When I couldn’t see the light
Sorry for the anger
And any pain I’ve caused
I managed to save the planet
But it’s you I love the most!
And if you’re scared
Just grab me by the hand
I’ll see you on the other side someday!
And if you feel alone
Just ask and you’ll be shown
The cure of life lies in you and I
Spoken (old man’s voice):
So that’s pretty much my life, I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I did. I will miss my family, but I’ll come back sooner or later, in a better world.
Oh well then, shall we?
