The time has come for you
Why don't you see the omen Open your eyes and cast their lies aside Your craven kings are headed nowhere Your blinded leaders, they're headed nowhere You're headed nowhere I know they tell you to believe their truth But I will never stand this pain I know they say not to worry anymore But I just cannot look away The truth is plain, this truth is plain Closing your eyes is nothing but surrender How can you ask me if we can save this world For them it died so many years ago Get on your knees and greet the omen How often did they prove their ignorance to you How many times did they betray The truth is plain, this truth is plain Selling the hard-won values we archived You know that nothing will ever break the beast You know there are millions left for dead But no one broadcasts their cries And now you dare to ask me, if we can save this world For them it died so many years ago Get on your knees and greet the omen Closing your eyes is nothing but surrender, A rotten act of treason Please never ask me, if we can save this world For them it died so many years ago Get on your knees and greet the omen |

Welcome to a world of pain
This is the day of your conversion, mortification Dragged away from home on blood red nights Slave to a brutal system, forevermore, forevermore You are an orphan now, adopted by the beast of war The end of all your childhood dreams has come No more will you meet a smilling face Now peace has left your sleep forever There are no arms to hold you Yet there are no hands to wipe your tears Constrained and forced to kill These cruelties will haunt you, a life in combat Your fear will make you bleed, your inner combat A life without a future, you will forget your wishes And nothing to embrace, but the rifle in your hands, forevermore You are an orphan now, adopted by the beast of war The end of all your childhood dreams has come: A life of combat, forevermore No more will you meet a smilling face Now peace has left your sleep forever There are no arms to hold you Yet there are no hands to wipe your tears away There are no arms to hold you Peace has left your sleep "There are about 300.000 child soldiers worldwide, most of them are forced to fight in armed conflicts." |

Never forgive, never forget
This world is out of joint Your order's built on sand Conspiracy to murder, cold blooded murder Assassinated the few who fought this wrongful system And to you, you masters of affliction We speak our words of truthfulness Our death will hinder nothing This is the way to walk, this is the time to act I was, I am, I shall be They heard the tunes of revolution They felt we'd seize the power Infamous deeds of desperation You may take us off the streets, But nothing stops this righteous rage We know you sense the coming thunder Insidious rulers Never forgive, never forget Of that there is no doubt Never forgive, never forget We know this storm will rage again |

I know that they will bleed in hell
But where is justice in this unjust world? Where is the truth we died for? You feed the lie they fight for Silence and screams are the end of my song There is no threat to scare us Our tunes and words remain As songs of rage to carry our names Although your hangmen may be dead by now There is no share of this blame No cheap excuses we accept Make no mistake about it Our songs and words remain As storms of rage to carry our names We'll make you bleed for this There is no share of this blame Our wives and mothers, So many years they hoped in vain Nothing will be buried in oblivion You saw no anguish in our eyes This terror did not brake our will Remember our names! Silence and screams are the end of my song There is no threat to scare us Our songs and words remain As storms of rage to carry our names We'll make you bleed for this You will share this blame Nothing will be buried in oblivion You saw no anguish in our eyes Nothing will be buried in oblivion You shall remember our names We may be buried in forgotten grounds, But the heartbeats of our loved ones Will be the drums to break your sleep |

This is the war you called
And I'm the one who came to judge you. Too soon your gods will leave, This is the day of your defeat. Welcome the newborn slaves, Forgotten and betrayed. Just burn it down. Black skies will rise And overshadow your demise. Long for the peace of surrender. Just stare into the void. Welcome the newborn slaves, Disfranchised and betrayed. Just feed your new found hate, A force nothing will break. Just burn it, Just burn it down. It's in the air you breathe, An everlasting poison, An order of deceit, It is a lie you bleed for. It's in the words you speak, Faint echoes of deception. When will you ever see No one will set you free. Welcome the newborn slaves, Forgotten and betrayed. Long for the peace of surrender. Just stare into the void. It's in the air you breathe, An everlasting poison, An order of deceit, It is a lie you bleed for. It's in the words you speak, Faint echoes of deception. When will you ever see No one will set you free. Und damit du es verstehst, Du folgst den falschen Fuhrern. Der Kampf ist nie vorbei, Du bist nicht frei. It's in the air you breathe, An everlasting poison, An order of deceit, It is a lie you bleed for. It's in the words you speak, Faint echoes of deception. When will you ever see No one will set you free. |

An unforgiving chill crawls down my blood stained limbs
And a thousand frozen bodies line our way into the night Shadows of dead trees appear like ghosts in poisoned clouds Heart-wrenching cries agonize my soul Hand to hand we fight And man by man we die No sanity is here to find, our god has left this hell We're wandering like shadows Through frozen worlds Once my mind was occupied, Filled with heroic stories, all glorious tales about this war But now I know there is no honor here to find We're marching endlessly, relentlessly, towards the end A purgatory we walk through, a common grave for all of us No matter friend or enemy, a forest of the dead Heart-wrenching cries agonize my soul Hand to hand we fight And man by man we die No sanity is here to find, our god has left this hell We're wandering like shadows Through frozen worlds I should not care about my enemies, tell me what have I become My blackened heart's still beating All of a sudden I'm aware Compassion is no weakness, compassion is no treason |

So much terror I have seen,
Fought endless years for their revenge Now I know this struggle ended nowhere I am remembering with shame I feel my time has come to fight for understanding I'm not defeated, I'm not beaten Thrown into the darkest dungeon, I pay for my forgiving thoughts They may preach about the same convictions, But they will distort these high ideals No ferocity will unsettle my beliefs I am not taken by the enemy Mechanisms of stagnation As agitators rule the land They want to make us live in fear Yet all they get are unshed tears They want to make us live in fear Locked up in gloom for years Try to silence my voice, But I'm not beaten! No brutality will unsettle my beliefs I am not taken by their felony Mechanisms of stagnation As agitators rule the land And a thousand miles away from home, I meet my expelled brothers Captured in a secret prison, Isolation, regression, indignity for years No atrocity will unsettle my beliefs I am not taken by this agony Mechanisms of stagnation As agitators rule the land |

I did not choose to tread this path,
A forced journey into an unknown future As our doom eclipsed this clueless state, I had to leave my world behind Their hate was so outright, It filled my heart with fright I know only too well My people chose to welcome tyranny, The slaves of terror, murder, pain Humanity lays dying once again Their hate was so outright, It filled my heart with fright I know only too well, I am an undead poet Buried in no ground I know only too well "Die Heimat hat mir Treue nicht gehalten, Sie gab sich ganz den bosen Trieben hin Doch hier wird niemand meine Verse lesen, Ist nichts, was meiner Seele Sprache spricht; Ein deutscher Dichter bin ich einst gewesen, Jetzt ist mein Leben ein Spuk wie mein Gedicht." [Max Herrmann-Neisse] Now here I am, disabled but alive Where no one calls my name Where nothing meets my soul Now here I am, but cannot build my home As no one reads my bitter words I'm yearning for the day of my return Yet nothing's there to make my dreams come true I know only too well, I am a ghost wandering this world I'm like a ghost, I know only too well I see the distant flames This outland holds no hope As no one reads my truly bitter words |

Nothing but pain, nothing but anguish
Depriving me of mercy,refusing all compassion These bare walls around me My prison, my dungeon Deliver me to ransom, No god can justify this cruelty There's nothing left for me There's nothing left but agony At last break down this dogma Just let me go, just let me be Just let it be my last breath As all peace has left this world There is serenity given in death Silence is falling down So long ago I lost my anchor As all my sorrows drown Given in death The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore The end is putting down its hand for me, I see, I feel As all my sorrows drown Just let me go, just let me be Just let it be my last breath Days fade away, songs die away My peace of mind, given in death As all peace has left this world So long ago I lost my anchor I'm longing for redemption Enclosed by the mists of oblivion, Days fade away, songs die away The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore The end is putting down its hand for me, I see, I feel |
