lyrics
#1
Mankind longs for greed
Lust they feed while the poor bleed
We stand still, powerless
Divided, alone, full of stress
Sand is thrown into our eyes
We don’t realize we’re living in lies
We wanna believe all they say is real
Then slashes get deeper and they won’t heal
The world is lost, dead, forgotten
We pay the bills weak and rotten
We talk of action but we’re stuck.
Who cares?! Bad luck.
…I’m not like you…I don’t trust you…
When I’m shooting words of truth I am aiming at your head
Words of peace, words of freedom, from a mouth that can’t be fed
I consume all your thoughts and you are eating all my strikes
Your world is not the same as you can’t beat me in this strife
Crying, hoping for salvation, I pray to clean all the hatred
No gods, no fucking saviors in this uncreated world
I consume all your thoughts and you are eating all my strikes
Your world is not the same as you can’t beat me in this life
(chorus #1)
All I can do is scream, all I am living : a dream
Big companies are playing while we keep on praying
All I can do is fight from side to side, from left to right
We are dust, remaining ashes, full of rust into deep slashes
Pills for weight, lotions for hair
Keep us distracted everywhere
Bugs are flying and dragons lying
Commercials making your own bed
We want beauty, sensuality
Seduction, low profile morality
We’re so hollow, oh so empty
Oh so hollow, oh so empty.
The world is lost, dead, forgotten
We pay the bills weak and rotten
We talk of action but we’re stuck.
Who cares?! Bad luck.
…I’m not like you…I will face you…
#2
I’ve jumped off the highest bridges
I’ve kissed all of the worst witches
I’ve driven the fastest Porsches
I have lit the darkest torches
I’ve fought the hardest enemies
I’ve swallowed all memories
I’ve drunk the most killer poisons
but I’ve remained true ‘til the end.
I’ve been the soul taker, I’ve worshiped the devil maker
I have followed so many ghosts and I’ve ended up alone
I have lost so many fights, I have broken a thousand lights
I have closed both my eyes and I’ve denied all your goodbyes.
(solo : Nuno)
#3
Another face, another lie, another promise held to the sky
No truth, no veracity, no hope in this sick humanity
I consume all your thoughts and you are eating all my strikes
Your world is not the same as you can’t beat me in this strife
Don’t hide yourself behind your power
The higher you get, the lower you are
There is no flame that burns so high
It is a shame you’re not as I am
I consume all your thoughts and you are eating all my strikes
Your world is not the same as you can’t beat me in this strife
(chorus #2)
All I did was scream, all I have lived : a dream
Big companies have been playing while the people prayed
All I could do was fight from side to side, from left to right
We were dust, remaining ashes, full of rust into deep slashes
#4
Stigmatized by society’s patterns
That classify you, that rectify you
You lose your own self-ID
Your tradition, roots and culture
You have become just another slave
Of the system that you had listened to
Now you’re a cyborg, half-human
Just a statistic, non-realistic
…just a statistic…another statistic…
(solo : Bruno)
