A 2012 Year Lie
03:02
|

The fear of death the concern of the unknown the need to find
An explanation of all the unanswered questions of human kind
Lay the foundations of an idyllic axiom to wipe out all doubts
They put their lives into its hands and spread it throughout
But who's the God you've been believing in?
What kind of hope is he promising?
How can your faith be so encouraging
To trade your life for what you've never seen?
Have you ever supposed your vision may be far from the truth?
Have you ever realized what they persuade you to think is yet to be proved
How can you believe a deity is watching over us?
It's an unfounded conjecture to deceive your life but it's a lie I cannot trust
It's an unfounded conjecture to deceive your life but it's a lie I don't wanna trust
Incongruities and mysteries of a divine entity
That never shows his - presence in our - declining society
Just open your eyes, take a look around then tell me what you see
Millions starving children, disasters, conflicts, poverty and greed
I find it hard to accept faith as a reason to start a war,
Indulgences to steal from the poor
Crusades and butcheries in the name of the Lord
So liberate your soul
Religion is only a cloak to seize the world
So where's the God you've been believing in?
And where's the hope he's been promising?
Don't let believers mislead your mind
They're telling you a 2012 year lie.

Tomahawks will replace the fireworks
Landmines concealed on the sidewalks
Don't filter out any idea in your dialogues
They are monitored by a taskforce of cyborgs
The billboards remind there's no way to escape from this oppressing place
The worst case scenario is taking shape stepping up the pace and all around
Rebellious' dead bodies lying on the ground behead brutally
The only way to stay alive is to resign to conformity
No thoughts allowed adapt yourself to the crowd
Obey the rules of the dystopic vow
Strung out in lines like million puppets guilty of not having minds
We will be one voice when we start the countdown to our destruction
Because we're getting closer
Though the clock is ticking slower
In a society of repression and violence
The sun went down and left its place to darkness
The billboards remind there's no way to escape from this oppressing place
The worst case scenario is taking shape stepping up the pace and all around
Rebellious' dead bodies lying on the ground behead brutally
The only way to stay alive is to resign yourself to conformity

The Silent Hero
03:35
|
|||
Just a simple middle age man worker, a husband, a dad
An ordinary life like other millions out there
There's nothing really special in just saying that
Until his nation was surprised by the nuclear threat
In a second he realized he lost everything he had
In 2 seconds he realized he'll never have it back
An escape could be the key for a better way
His sacrifice was the choice that he immediately made
Radiation alarm raised to level 5
A radioactive cloud is eclipsing the sky
The reactor number 2 is going haywire
The emergency system has just misfired
They want the catastrophe to sound like a simple mistake
But it's the beginning of the apocalypse that human kind made
Thousands of victims and a nation struggling inside
Stuck in a one-way tunnel to our own demise
Kneeled to hopelessness but still he chose to act
But life still is worth though in decline
A silent hero never shows his face
A SILENT SACRIFICE FOR A NATION that will never know his name
It sounds like a suicide but someone's got to do this
He gives his wife and son a last hug and a kiss
It's a mission for the sake of his community
He's aware he's going to die as a volunteer
Not a single tear, not a single regret
Every effort is essential to hold the tragedy back
No one but his family will recall his name
No one but his family to commemorate
A SILENT SACRIFICE

Save Our Scene
01:54

Where’s the faith we grew up with?
Where’s the moral bands used to teach?
Some came and went like a flag in the wind,
Pretended to care while backstabbed our dreams
Indeed we won’t be deceived in you
Got no more clear conscience or anyone to screw
Through the years we came to realize
The bands to respect and the ones to despise
Wise words didn’t turn into action
And my disappointment is raising this objection
The path to pride precludes the one to glory
You dimmed your minds and it’s the same old story
Wise words didn’t turn into action
And my disappointment is raising this objection
Trendy winds blew our values away
A blow below the belt and I’m so ashamed
So far from what it used to be just a way to bear reality
So look back in anger and commit the sin, regain your pride and save our scene
On the face of it the good old purposes are collapsing
But I don’t mind and choose to grit my teeth
So far from what it used to be just a way to bear reality
So look back in anger and commit the sin, regain your pride and save our scene
On the face of it the good old purposes are collapsing
But I don’t mind and choose to grit my teeth
Choose to grit my teeth
To save my fucking scene

Traces

Traces of grace are surrounding me
My only hope my own
Madeleine to save me
Waiting for someone to save me now
Lost days felt used while there’s no time to lose
So cut my lid and let me see again
This crowd is chocking me
And wants me to be hung here
Traces of grey I left behind
My previous life in Dublin is going to leave me
I keep the lid on what I was before
Cause I know I’ve never been afraid to look back
I am fire
My hidden sun lends me its light
To preserve the secret
My hidden sun lends me its light
To make clear on myself
So cut my lid and let me see again
This crowd is chocking me
And wants me to be hung here right in front of them
To forget false idols
To come back again
To shut up all regrets
Leading us to the end

I’m back again after a long while
Coming all the way from the other side of the world
To the place I miss so bad
To the place that once was my home
But the atmosphere is not the same anymore
And I am walking on the 4th street all alone
No friend is by my side now
Not a single face I know
And it’s so hard to accept now there’s nothing left
Days went by too fast leaving nothing but memories
Of a time that will never come back
Still I don’t want to admit that I had better quit
‘Cause the frames I’m seeing in here are all the memories
That brought me back and that will walk me through the years
I’ve never known what the sense of tomorrow was
In a time when everything was so close
A thick veil of nostalgia enshrouds my mind
I’m longing for the life we left behind
Face to face with my failure ‘cause I didn’t expect
If there’s a beginning there is also going to be an end
Wrong-foot, all alone, old friends have already left
I want to run to them but I cannot make a step
And it’s so hard to accept now there’s nothing left
Days went by too fast leaving nothing but memories
Of a time that will never come back
Still I don’t want to admit that I had better quit
‘Cause the frames I’m seeing in here are all the memories
That brought me back and that will walk me through the years
I wish I could just push rewind
Reignite the hope that was burning inside
I want the future to reverse its way
To find myself once again in yesterday
I find myself on a dead end street
Present is the enemy I can’t defeat
A tide called time is rising more and more
I feel like I’m drowning and I see no shore
The wind is blowing on my wounded chest
And I realize my soul is crumbling into sand
But inside my mind I still enshrine a stack
Of memories of a time that will never come back
