The Bleeding
02:27
|
|
||
My body as a testimony
When truth doesn't matter
If no marks found
I'll find them within
Because truth doesn't matter
Ask my body
Hear the cries
Hear the bleeding that drops
I stand in front of blind men
When truth doesn't matter
Ask anybody
They'll tell you nothing
Ask my body
Hear the cries
Hear the bleeding
I hold my flag of justice
In the face of the denials
I hold a fistfull of proof
To those who can't acknowledge
Give me back my temple
I'll get back what you take
Give me back

Everything Is Going Down
03:09
|
|
||
They told me
If I wanted to break the silence
between me and the world
That I had to find a meaning
To the things that I was doing
But the meaning kept on hiding
Because I knew there was none
Everything is going down
To stop the race
And reach the surface
I wanted to sit on the floor
Listening to the rain
But the days kept on running
The days kept on running away
I had to work my way through the brambles
In a city so loud it never sleeps
Never blinks
And hold so many people
It becomes impossible to think
And I was told to believe there was still good things with me
Everything is going down

Living In Fear
05:55
|
|
||
The atmosphere of guilt
Drives you crazy
So you run away
And You wish you've run earlier
The end is yet to cross
The lights broke
When you got in
And as you were waiting
For the elevator
A man, dressed all in black,
creeping outside the door
Everyone wants to grab you
Everyone wants to reach you
But you can't disappear
You can't hide
Someone is waiting outside
Right before your window
Right before you bed
Waiting in your sheets
Panting
This place is so empty
You wish you hadn't cleaned it
Just one smoke won't be enough
And you know it
So you crawl to your bed
To meet your realm again
Everyone wants to grab you
Everyone wants to reach you
But you can't disappear
You can't hide
Someone is waiting outside
And if you're still breathing
Could you find a place to breathe ?
And if you're still standing
Could you find a place to sleep ?
Karma is chasing you

Mad Men
04:58
|
|
||
Their skin got red
As they looked at the blazing light
Irradiating from the sky
Everyone smiled
More power, they said
More fuel to our desires
Let the big ones decide
If we should leave this city
Every finger raised to claim
Its neighbour guilty
One of them decided to point themselves
Just to be sure
Every throats open
To swallow the soothing scum
So we need three men, they said
Each one of them will be given
One month salary
to die in three days or in three hours
It has to be done, they said
Our society is based on sacrifice, they said
Be a hero of the nation
Be a hero, they said
Tears filled with acid
In a voiceless cry
Come get your reward
With arms crossed
And a ruthless eye
Mad men watched the world die
Come get your reward

Hope's Shroud
04:23
|
|
||
I feel tensed, I feel this time will not be enough
My strength is weak but I won't blink
Cause I gotta keep watching
Those shadows will keep on crawling
Next to our bed
Funeral flowers grow
A promise of the emergency to come
Could we build our house on the mountain
Will there be time to save something
Will there be time to live fearlessly
Pay no mind to them scarecrows now
Pay no mind to the thunderstorm over our heads
And if my hand
Is sweaty, I swear
It's because it's so hot in there
We hear hymns of misfortune
Shouting their deafening sirens
And the vultures, coming with them,
Weep with impatience
For the feast to come
This was a bed of love
That has turned into hope's shroud

Little Boy's Sobbing
04:08
|
|
||
She choose to be paid for
her smile
Get your hands off
She choose to profit
From what they used as a weapon
To control
To assert dominance
How the tables have turned
In your head
She has to be a slut
She has to look like
She's not claiming her own desire
Otherwise it's scary
And you don't want to be scared
You want big lips around your dick
You want someone for you
To feel a little bit of power
You want someone to hear
Your little boy's sobbing
You want someone that can disappear
Makes you feel how great you are
How much of a man you are
This body isn't yours
It has never been

This Flesh
05:44
|
|
||
I thought I believed in nothing
You changed my vision of trusting
I thought your love was everlasting
You showed me the knives it's carying
So it seems that we cannot speak
Either you don't listen
Either it's me
You take guilt as a shelter,
Ignore my burning anger,
You never really answer
You're a fucking disaster
So it seems that we cannot speak
Either you don't listen
Either it's me
Then you turned the pain into your own
And make me feel disowned
I thought I would never want to harm you
You used to say I was righteous
Have you thought it could turn this way?
Your ego is too strong now
Then you call it sorrow
It's all about this flesh you carried
And this bond we tried to shape
Cause we are not lovers
We are mother and daughter
You never thought you'd harmed me
When you fucking stabbed me
And I think I can't forgive you

The Iron
04:00
|
|
||
She committed the sin
Of touching her boyfriend's body
When she told me, innocently
I couldn't keep my mouth shut
And her daddy, his eyes of anger
The thought of another man
Made him want to make her
Physically asexual
Oh, could you hear her cries ?
How could I stop this madness ?
Then he used the iron
To remove the creases
From her teenager's body
Oh, could you hear her cries ?
How could I stop this madness ?
As I thought to myself
Violence of the patriarchy has no limit

Rabid Valkyries
07:18
|
|
||
I was speechless
Words glued on my tongue
He couldn't care less
A "why" painted all in black
Hanging empty
Watching me
The floor under my knees
Burned in tiredness
Filing my lungs with dust
He could do nothing more
Than remaining silent
Visions came before my eyes
Riding like rabid valkyries
Strucking me with hate
Of my own body
The skull crashed against the stairs
The neck perforated by broken glass from a broken window
Eyes closed
Palms up,
Resting on thighs
Old wounds
Came to the surface
As i stood up
A whip in my hand
I realised
He was not just
One shadow, one man
He was embodying all of my burden
