Smash Up

every day i hope i won’t sink into insanity
i could kill someone just with my eyes
to seek some remorse
i’m crying for your pride, stay by my side but don’t steal my soul
should i withstand the roof? it’s going to fall
i’m walking on empty stones
you belong to me, let’s be free, like our enemies
out of the blue, things come true, drop the muse
i’m sitting on your bones, on a dust throne, i stole your soul
we don’t have a roof anymore
i’m walking on empty stones
eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, nothing is gained, nothing is yours
now we can love in silence
fill our memories' stones
centuries scrolling without stars
i lost my memories but i’ll find the sun
i’m sitting on your bones, on a dust throne, i stole your soul
we don’t have a roof anymore
i’m walking on empty stones
eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, nothing is gained, nothing is yours
now we can love in silence
fill our memories' stones

All in the Sky
05:18
|

dark sky, bright spots, mirror of truth
your heaven could be my door
human’s mind so vulnerable
ensnared in his sphere
can make you rock the world?
and worship gods of stars
put the sky in my head
choose the meaning you want
the last ship to go missing without limit
a new look at the world
an answer to millions of years of questions
we know from the beginning
can make you rock the world?
and worship gods of stars
put the sky in my head
choose the meaning you want
can make you rock the world?

Hold
04:06
|

culture is steeped in the rock
bad intentions never will wipe me out
black veil falls on the rising sun
while we still defend that remains of our land
i do not want to end up with a severed neck
we will counter your attacks up in the air
evil wants to spread through fear
he sneaks into the mass, we wait the shooting
insecurity growing up
everybody will be enslaved
i don’t want to see my values burning on a black flag, like a ghost town, blasted in chaos
we shall overcome this plague, up in the air
my heart is filling with anger and suffering

Lose my Blue
04:07
|
|||
while the sharp knives rakes the seabed
i hide my eyes and do nothing, i feel ashamed
how often must i see so much cruelty
cut up alive and dismissed in water
why do i hide my eyes when i watch the ocean
may you one day reveal all your secrets
before the factory ship goes through there
how often must i lose those treasures
ocean has become the world’s fridge
industry kills species and our world consciously
our children will never see the ocean as we have seen it in the past
beside me, suffering, endlessly in a bad dream
our children will never see the ocean as we have seen it in the past

Cartesian

my vineyard is not your blood
i’ve never been your son
this bread is not your flesh
you’re not the sky
i cry
but i never pray
i can lie and die but not come back to life
i’ll never be god, i’ll never be slave
you shed tears of blood and put it on your hands
you carry on as you have begun
my graveyard is not your road
i'll never be your horns
my hell is so lech
you’re not the sky
i cry
but i never pray
i can lie and die but not come back to life
i’ll never be god, i’ll never be slave
you shed tears of blood and put it on your hands
you carry on as you have begun
fear, blood, fire, i'm not afraid of
what you say, you are a liar
can we still violate on behalf of a god
even for the devil
i
i’ll never be your god, i’ll never be your slave
you shed tears of blood and put it on your hands
you carry on as you have begun
rise, i cry
but i never pray
i can lie and die

Satisfy
05:05
|

next to me, all of these are within reach
i don’t know why i can’t use them
something is blocking my way
i’m filled with doubt
i would stay down as long as i would not be sure
help me to find the way to free the bright light
satisfy
inside me, everything is so smothered
all these eyes around me
force my brain to turn red
shrinking down
i would stay down as long as i would not be sure
help me to find the way to free the bright fight
satisfy
satisfy
we’re not ready yet to
improve our truth
it’s time to let me try
satisfy
next to me, just a place for heartsicks
i don’t know why i’m with them
something is flooding my way
flooding my way
i would stay down as long as i would not be sure
help me to find the way to free the bright fight
satisfy
satisfy
we’re not ready yet to
improve our rules
it’s time to let me try
let me try
we’ll always be unsatisfied

A Shovel for a Man
04:53
|
|||
corpses drifting down the river
unarmed men, at rest
without names
till the end, to the grave
walking on a frozen land
down here, unsaved
i'm a man among the dead
i wiped all the tears and ran away
i rised above the fears every day
till the end, to the grave
walking on a frozen land
down here, unsaved
i'm a man among the dead
when the bullets're raining down
i have to hide into the ground
among people who agonize
i’m a man who survives
till the end, to the grave
walking on a frozen land
down here, unsaved
i'm a man among the dead
the dust settles on the orphan land
a shovel for a man, without name
till the end, to the grave
walking on a frozen land
down here, unsaved
i'm a man among the dead
when the bullets're raining down
i have to hide into the ground
among people who agonize
i’m a man who survives

Oil of Temptation
05:02
|
|||
my oil’s on fire
she floats above the seabed
she rises like a wave
and she strikes the lightning
from black to blue
waiting for the monster to surface
she awakens the depths of the earth
and submits to its power
water off your fire
trickles over your lewd thoughts
the beast's claw wounds
ride it scum under the moon
planet pours its blue oil
tonight we ‘ll sleep under the stars
she lies in her magnetic song
as an asteroid fleet
asteroid fleet
my oil’s on fire
she floats above the seabed
she rises like a wave
and she strikes the lightning
i want to explore every corner of your world
and know all your secrets
you’re like a magnetic song
in an asteroid fleet

It's Too Late
05:02
|
|||
day after day
i would protect you
when i see what is growing out i feel worried
but it’s with weapons and fists that we must respond
it's too late
oh it’s too late
show me the way
not to see violence
we'll have to hide for years and years
evil could have been stopped before but now we must run
it’s too late
i ‘m ashamed of this government
how could they let this happen
fuck !
but it’s with weapons and fists that we must respond
it’s too late

Cold One
04:07
|
|||
beyond the sky and the average man
imaginary worlds awaken by the legends
in the gloomiest places of the earth’s depths
lie dormant the darkest forces
blood thirsty prowler from the kingdom of flames
the devil is at the door and he only knocks once
bloody flooding, trapped in the void’s web
i can see my body sinking in the thickest mists
in an almost religious ritual
my christ’s blood is spewing from my throat
drained from me through my almost torn out neck
i am obeying the evil contract’s terms
i’m dying burnt alive attended by the darkness
a life for an eternity of suffering
in this same body preserved
lies a cold tomb, haunts me every day
and if during my life i have had no chance, it is in this death i will find revenge
i apply the rules in my territory and condemn my invaders in a pool of blood
i’m dragging the night behind me like a celestial veil
the man resists and hunts me every day
the horizon unveils the first cadaveric gleams
i’m in him, i’m his fantasies and his fears
and if during my life i have had no chance, it is in this death i will find revenge
i apply the rules in my territory and condemn my invaders in a pool of blood

My Dark Shelter
05:36
|
|||
years wandering in
darkness alone in
this troubling cave
my eyes start to fade out
years wandering in
hugeness seeking for
this little hope
touching walls
years becoming a
stranger to me
losing my senses
my eyes start to fade out
persistence
insistence
i've finally
found the way out
yelling help
just want to escape
yelling help
beam of light
now that i'm free from
my fucking demons
realizing now
i'm not on my earth
years wandering in
large empty spaces
without a wall
to guard me
let's find the way back
to my own shelter
stuffy small and black
my sight is coming back
inside or outside
don't know where to go
strange mood anyway
where's the way out
yelling help
just want to escape
yelling help
beam of dark
let's find the way back
to my own shelter
stuffy small and black
my sight is coming back
inside or outside
don't know where to go
strange mood anyway
where's the way out

High Veins
04:38
|

high veins
in my dilated veins
flows my novocaine
flows my reign in pain
fully high again
in my dilated veins
flows my cocaine
flows liquid pain
fully high uncertain
burning brain
totally insane
losing ground
looking all around
victim
underground
my dream
turnaround

Titan's Hand
05:01
|
|||
the great light gushes out from the sky
crossing lost souls
it comes from where nobody went
an eternity of tears running off a river of despair
the world can see its planet for the first time
like a rock falling on its head
generations and races united in fear
in the storm of fire
the earth used to bear and feed its steps
the beast still makes its force grow
a batch of gravel in a titan's hand
like a rock falling on our head
the great blow gushes out from the sky
coming from message of extinction
there won't be any halo in the final time
no door will open in the sky
the earth used to bear and feed its steps
the beast still makes its force grow
a batch of gravel in a titan's hand
like a rock falling on our head
the earth used to bear and feed its steps
the beast still makes its force grow
a batch of gravel in a titan's hand
like a rock falling on our head
in every life, we can feel the emptiness
in every thought, there's a master
x2
there's a master
x4
