A LIFE LESS PAINFUL
I was drownin´ so deep
but now i feel alive again
You broke my angel wings
now i´ve found i can fly again
I used to be a clear-minded man
till life took away the only things that mattered
Then i became someone i didn´t wanna be
even lost my sense of reality
the life i knew was over
When i thought my existence couldn’t get worse
you came and snatched away the chance that i was given
You divided my heart up into love and hate
i was so desperate
made me wanna disappear
i´ve never been the same
Now i deserve
a life less painful
´Cause i was drownin´ so deep
but now i feel alive again
You broke my angel wings
now i´ve found i can fly again

SCARS
You´d better be strong enough to start playing the game,
no tricks, simply your luck, ´cause ain´t no way back
the enemy is out there waiting for you
You’ve gotta be stronger than your rival if you wanna change
the fear that burns inside you
You´ve been so naïve for all o´this time
You´d better be faster than the lies that walk behind you,
´cause maybe one day someone will remind you
and turn your words into your own enemies
You´ve gotta set the points that rule your life
and everything´s gonna be alright,
i´m not foolin´ you, believe my friend
Be the stronger one
don´t let them push you under
it´s always hard to carry on
Defeat the ones that stand
and look you in the eye
seeking the time of your demise

SELFISH DECONSTRUCTION
Once again, we´ll be afraid to face up to the truth that is corroding us
we still bite the hand that feeds us
Once again, we´ll be so guilty in their eyes
now it´s too late to amend
we still bite the hand that feeds us
Hey, what´s going on?
it´s all going so fast
it´s all going so wrong
every day is harder to live
that is because of politics
We´re so selfish
we raze it all
as long as we can breathe
we´re giving a black future to our sons
do you think they deserve it?
Shame on us
We´re slaves of money
today we don´t care about tomorrow
we don´t realize tomorrow is now
can you eat your money?
Fuck the governments
damned, fuck us all!
no forgiveness for the human race
someday we´ll regret all our deeds
but that will be too late
Proud of ourselves
proud of how great we are we´re gonna die
Once again, we´ll be afraid to face up to the truth that is corroding us
we still bite the hand that feeds us
Once again, we´ll be so guilty in their eyes
now it´s too late to amend
we still bite the hand that feeds us

THE BETRAYAL
Tell me the reasons that made you leave us
Took your decision to follow your desire
Tread down the sacred for a new existence
destroying all that you´d known
When togheter we´d got something real
ambition made you seek much higher
to change your life forever more
You never looked back
See these sad eyes that never deserved that betrayal
Nobody here is gonna wait for you….
when you look around and see you´re all alone
When together we´d got something real
ambition made you seek much higher
to change your life forever more
Together we could change the world
now i´m alone falling to pieces
You changed my life forever more
Once you said that would last forever
(no matter what)
No matter what was yet to come
we´ll get over it
And now those empty words just fade away
(killing me)
My pain turns to melancholy
When together we´d got something real
ambition made you seek much higher
to change your life forever more
Together we could change the world
now i´m alone falling to pieces
You changed my life forever more

I am the victim of my weakness,
endured their whip far too long,
their lust for power feeds my sickness,
crawling on concrete and dust for nevermore
Are you gonna let them trample on you?
Hey you, stand up and start the fight
It´s time to take off the blindfold that covers your eyes
I swear I´ll never be afraid, I promise I´ll be strong
It´s time for us to get out of the shell,
this is not living; this is just hell.
Raise your fist against the system,
just pull the trigger, show your resistance
Are you gonna let them trample on you?
Hey you, stand up and start the fight
It´s time to take off the blindfold that covers your eyes
I swear I´ll never be afraid, I promise I´ll be strong
Set the fire of the citizens’ word.
We´ve been oblivious to the truth.
They´ve shown no mercy, no respect
Hey you, stand up and start the fight.
It´s time to take off the blindfold that covers your eyes.
I swear I´ll never be afraid. I promise I´ll be strong.
