Look at the signs of doom Pick what you like Celebrate your new contract The heat through the wall melts me Count to three And kill the lights Human malice It hurts to have new slaves in town To love it, you have got to feel the pain To like it, you have got to grind the grain To climb the ladder, you blow the horn And if you like it, you have got more It is hard for rats to build An empire with their hands We will bleed forever It is so hard for us to embrace The abrogation of our past We will bleed forever Because we signed a tainted pact Look at the signs of doom We will bleed forever The heat through the wall melts me We will bleed forever To love it, you have got to feel the pain To like it, you have got to grind the grain To climb the ladder, you blow the horn And if you like it, you got more It is hard for rats to build An empire with their hands We will bleed forever It is so hard for us to embrace The abrogation of our past We will bleed forever Because we signed a tainted pact

Reckless Son 03:24
Deceived by the light You reach for your gun They have been feeding you lies Every single day It is a fox in a cage Whispering hate One day you chanted peace But now the drum of war is only yours I look inside you and there is no light See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life The unknown road still marching I look inside you and there is no light See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life Holding the grip with your cold hand I look inside you and there is no light See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life The unknown road still marching I want to love your past See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life But your future is six feet underground The temples you loved Abandoned to rot A great epitaph For nature dauntlessness Bloody crowning For a dead empire One day you chanted peace But then you vigorously played the drum of war I look inside you and there is no light See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life The unknown road still marching I look inside you and there is no light See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life Holding the grip with your cold hand I look inside you and there is no light See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life The unknown road still marching I want to love your past See how the reckless son’s tyranny has changed your life But your future is six feet underground

You, eternity Right and bright Immortal and arcane Judge, jury, and fearless executioner And I, the omega lad Looking above all Thinking that I am the one Who is going to rule the time So, hold my hand Follow my lead One day I will be someone To rule them all I am breaking away Honey, it has been so good so far I have got an Insta account That is all I need I am breaking away You, serenity Pagan muse Sane yet prophetic Judge, jury, and fearless executioner And I, a beggar lad Looking above all Thinking that I am the one The future is in the ads So, hold my hand Follow my lead One day I will be someone To rule them all I am breaking away Honey, it has been so good so far I have got an Insta account That is all I need I am breaking away Follow my lead One day I will be someone To rule them all I am breaking away Honey, it has been so good so far I have got an Insta account That is all I need I am breaking away

Is Babylon within sight Or are the flashes way too bright? Watch out for twisted tongues They will sell you a dream until kingdom come And one day you will realise That the matrix has curled up on your lap Inherited debt from the past A burden you lock up in the dark The broken youth begin to shine Sleeping in their tainted minds New school of thought, they draw the line Modern disease and fake divine Corrupted beings, they do not hide Finance your life, crushed by their hands New school of thought, free market price Modern disease and fake divine Knock on the door of demise Burn the facade then say goodbye Echoes of the last revolt Before my eyes the temples fall Where there is a will, there is a way And if there is no will you better be dead Do not feed the starving hounds With your ambition and regret Digging a hole How deep is that? Planting the seeds For the next round Digging a hole With my bare hands No feast for crows In these new times The broken youth begin to shine Sleeping in their tainted minds New school of thought, they draw the line Modern disease and fake divine Corrupted beings, they do not hide Finance your life, crushed by their hands New school of thought, free market price Modern disease and fake divine

Do not kill the lights and leave First pick up the pieces, clean the debris Your technophilic hubris Unbox your dreams, remove the film Do not kill the lights and heave Turn your head, admire the ruins and grief Do not be deceived Just yet, just yet Do not kill the lights, believe Let us try this miraculous therapy Wrap your ravenous cravings for dosh In your ostentatious handkerchief Cover the wounds with green Outrageous act of bribery Do not kill the lights and leave For as long as I am here And you say That it hurts To be self-made I say... I would love to float The river carries sorrow Bring me away from the edge Waiting for the death blow I would love to float Give myself up tomorrow You are at the riverbank Flashing how much you have borrowed I would love to float The river carries sorrow Bring me away from the edge And pick me up tomorrow Do not kill the lights, believe Just wait a couple of years more Do not kill the lights and leave I am not done with everything I love Do not kill the lights and leave I want to experience everything you destroyed Do not kill the lights and leave Just not yet, not yet It is to you I give Young age when it lambent peaks Show me what we both seek A new dimension in the oblique I would love to float The river carries sorrow Bring me away from the edge Waiting for the death blow I would love to float Give myself up tomorrow You are at the riverbank Flashing how much you have borrowed I would love to float The river carries sorrow Bring me away from the edge And pick me up tomorrow

I believe we can speak sometimes About the passions that we share Neither you nor I am pristine clear But we are not in the least afraid Because we always fly high and ignore The theory of turbulence Resist, oppose, repel, confront, withstand – caveats of an earthly life Come on, come on, come on, come on, elevate – defy your fears tonight Resist, oppose, repel, confront, withstand - forging their long demise Come on, come on, come on, come on, do not give in – defy your fears tonight A halfpenny for a humble self-made man Who dreams of wild wolves with big yachts Give him fire, give him soul An eternity with ghouls Neither you nor I am pristine clear But we are not in the least afraid Because we always fly high and ignore The theory of turbulence Resist, oppose, repel, confront, withstand – caveats of an earthly life Come on, come on, come on, come on, elevate – defy your fears tonight Resist, oppose, repel, confront, withstand - forging their long demise come on, come on, come on, come on, do not give in – defy your fears tonight Resist, oppose, repel, confront Come on, come on, come on, come on Resist, oppose, repel, confront Come on, come on, come on, come on, do not give in – defy your fears tonight

Plough the fields and say amen Genesis of a bitter end Bury the hatchet and water the rose, my dear Here comes the storm, let us be prepared She drifted back across the dark room And began to hum the doomsday's tune Find me a place where I can hide A hedonic tone to sacrifice All the stakeholders in the queue It is no man’s land, I gasp for air And the waiter is not even aware It is chilly out there so grab your coat, my dear The peacekeeper is on his way She drifted back across the dark room And began to hum the doomsday's tune Find me a place where I can hide A hedonic tone to sacrifice All the stakeholders in the queue Spraying with thick gloss The last smile So it lasts a long time Wrecked and torn apart I sailed too many miles And a million more tonight She drifted back across the bedroom And began to sing my favourite tune A hedonic tone to sacrifice All the stakeholders in the queue

It is hard to fall asleep at night Is this the final sacrifice? They profiteer from wealth and lies Too many queens in the beehive Loans Bonds From the lava a kingdom rises I am so cold Pay the debt and wait on hold For your true oligopoly dream of thick blindfolds Enough! It is time to push for the emancipation There is only one right side It is a fact you cannot deny All actions are justified If you fight the jingo ties It is hard to fall asleep at night Is this the final sacrifice? They profiteer from wealth and lies Squeezing sloggers, rolling dice Loans Bonds From the lava a kingdom rises I am so cold Pay the debt and wait on hold For your true oligopoly dream of thick blindfolds Enough! It is time to push for the emancipation My sight

In your mind I die And I failed to realise That in my death you search For the answers to your own demise Although I want to believe the ascension is real There is nothing in you divine Finally keen to accept your policy If you command me to give up Orators are exiled They lie sick in distant lands Our strongest throats are choked With blood and tears from the past Were all our efforts in vain? Futile - yet every now and then The hope of the righteous men Rushes through our veins Claim the prophets of today Wings of a dove Carry me home To face the ferocity of your kind Wings of a dove Carry me home Shake your feathers Over my tomb And cover it with your decline In your heart I die And I failed to realise That in my death you search For the answers to your own demise Although I want to believe you will come for me There is nothing in you divine Finally keen to accept your policy You command me to give up Wings of a dove Carry me home To face the ferocity of your kind Wings of a dove Carry me home Shake your feathers Over my tomb And cover it with your decline Crawling out of a hell The storms begin An overdose of reality Crawling out of a hell The storms begin It hurts to be aware That you no longer care But the manifesto is always there
