Illusions
It’s an illusion, fighting for peace will end the war
Just an illusion, that killing the truth will even the score
No-one holds the keys to war and peace
Insanity will find its own release
Lies you’re told, your soul is sold
Watch your back until you’re old
One man’s peace
Another’s war
Souls released
Insanity maintained
It’s an illusion, tears of pain are tears of joy
It’s an illusion, that by digging your grave you can be reborn
Pain and death is really all there is
Something more awaits for us in truth

Human Nature
It’s the dark side of nature, it’s whenever we may fall
We thought we saw it coming, but human nature tricks us all
Trickery is deception, manipulation is our best friend
We thought we knew the answers, we had to stop and think again
What is life, what is love, It’s the feelings we’re afraid of
You can run, but you can’t hide
It’s a mutation of the human race
It’s a perversion of the human race
It’s a fully earned total disgrace
It’s a furnace of our empty souls

History Repeats Itself

History Repeats Itself
Wars are fought, wars are won
Wars are lost, people gone
And in the end, was it worth it
Empires rise, empires fall
Dust to dust, kings ruled us all
And in the end, was it worth it
Arise, reborn
They plan for us all
And history repeats itself, a mindless wheel that spins our will
The rats we are, this labyrinth, we’re born, we die, it starts again
And history repeats itself, a mindless wheel that spins our will
The rats we are, this labyrinth, we’re born, we die
Genesis and genocide
Wheels will turn, nowhere to hide
And in the end, was it worth it
Revolution and evolution
Human rights, it’s all just lies
And in the end, was it worth it?
Another war, starts again
Repeats the game, it’s all the same
And in the end, was it worth it
They take our lives for their gain
We starve for truth, we’ll die again
And in the end, was it worth it

Die Rejected
Burn this lie
You've told too many times before
Wounds don't heal
From infection of the human race
Made your life a hell
Through your own sickness
My will's not your way
This lie's been told too many times before
You die rejected
From this view
Your life is bathed in depression
Drown in the sympathy flowing from your guilt
Break your will
And suffer the dire consequence
This lie's been told too many times before
You die rejected
A new age arise
For disciples that bleed for freedom
Now bow down before your new god
Blinded extinction
Your lie is at a final end
Lies force fed
While you shit on my reality
Now save yourself
And don't believe in their lies
Walk away while you still have time
Walk away while you still have time
Walk away while you still have time
Walk away while there's still time
Now die rejected

Calm Before the Storm

Calm Before the Storm
Runaway tiger breaks its cage
The master steals the light
The many who tried will meet their fate
The end burns in their eyes
Someone cries and no-one hears
A hunter loads his gun
The writing on the wall is clear
You dance the reaper’s song
But this time we escape
The one they couldn’t break
And suffering will cease
The earth shakes from our feet
The calm before the storm
The new before the worn
The life before the death
You end with no regrets
Headline page decrees its lie
They suck you like a leach
Eyes sown shut are open wide
It’s something you don’t see
A disease that is not named
Once had its claws in me
They said its black you know it’s white
Who will this reaper be

You've Got To

You’ve Got To
You’ve got to
You’ve got to watch me disappear
You’ve got to know that I won’t break
It’s more addictive than your hunger
Compassion is my only need
You’ve got to watch me disappear
You’ve got to know that I won’t break
I’m just a poor born loser
You’ve got to live and just succeed
Strike, Protest, Strike
You’ve got to watch me disappear
You’ve got to know that I won’t break
My only crime is my desire
And my desire I must feed
Strike, Protest, Strike
Rip it, take it
Protest

So Be It

So Be It
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Is it a mirror of yours or is it just me
Judge a book or look deeper inside
Hold back opinions and hold back you pride
Your feelings never clear
Misunderstandings
Point fingers everywhere
My judgement is made
Tomorrow, maybe you’ll understand
Perception
The truth is at hand
So be it
Am I the monster under your bed
Is this the image deep in your head
Maybe I’m here to save you
To hold you safe and show you the truth

The War is On (Russian Version)
Выходит из моря плачущий зверь
Где ветры гуляют
Не хочешь не верь
Трубы играют ужас кусает
Все это гибель и смерть нагнетают
Таким как ты прощения нет
Только война ни слова в ответ
Огромные волны
Таких не видал
Нечисть земную к черту отдал
Встань на колени
Молись молись
