THOSE WHO BOUGHT THE RAIN He was there among the crowd, they gathered to protest The whole nation’s willpower was put to the test But the armed forces were deployed and it all went down the drain: Tear gas, riot sticks and bullets in the name of... ...Those who bought the rain, they must all be insane She’s a juvenile worker with a family to keep The loom is the only guide and she follows like sheep Blood stains her black dress, she just can’t hide her pain – Slavery, starvation wage and early grave from... ...Those who bought the rain, they must all be insane Grandeur built on millions’ misery Transborder unification, global autocracy Those who bought the rain, they must all be insane Ruthless exploitation of the fruits of the earth There can be only one outcome: near are the times of dearth!

CULTURE CRISIS Once a household word, now just an ad Propaganda to keep the fools’ hunger fed When cultures fall it’s not some kind of horror show – It’s a wake up call Corporate dogs laughing in their sleeves The corporate dogs are laughing in their sleeves Today’s questions, yesterday’s replies What’s the point? What’s the use? Communication dies When cultures fall... Wake up now! When cultures fall... Cultures fall

SIGNED AND SEALED Now the fight is tougher than ever and we are all in this together It’s so lame to stay out of it – win or lose but never quit They fill your mouth with crap to make you feel O.K. A perfect trap that’ll force you to obey Although they won’t admit... Win or lose but never quit So join the march to history, to fate we’ll never yield No stop until the victory is signed and sealed Some say to acquiesce is wiser than to play the antagonizer – Don’t be such a hypocrite, win or lose but never quit So join the march to history... One way or another this must be driven asunder Compromises ain’t worth shit: win or lose but never quit So join the march to history...

THE TEST OF TIME Among the dead I wake, another chance I take I want to feel, I need to know my life ain’t no damn mistake You victimize me – but revenge will be mine You despize me – but you know that I will Stand the test of time If I do believe there’s nothing I can not achieve I want to live in a better world but I ain’t no damn naive You victimize me... It’s like a landmine about to ravage and deface I’ll stand the test of time while you’ll be gone without a trace You victimize me...

BOUND TO FAIL When you live like an animal face down to the ground You need a corner of beautiful falsehood, so easily it can be found It’s O.K. by me, march to meet your destiny What difference would there be? From worldchanger to the next dictator All powers are bound to fail – No, I’ll never bow to the norms they hail So you delightfully feast on things you don’t even understand Until sunken deep into apathy, with open arms you will greet the end The social pattern, son, always blamed but a sine qua non While systems succed by turns like the seasons change, There’s nothing strange about it All powers are bound to fail – No, I’ll never bow to the norms they hail All governments tell lies – they’re all bound to fail, drop like flies All powers are bound to fail

TRAITOR PLEADING GUILTY   Should have seen the state we are in: the serpents shed their wretched skins Should have known deeds have weight. Kept pretending till it was too late   Is it a fault if I wasn't brave enough to change the sanctified paradigm? Now I feel like a traitor pleading guilty And with every word I say I’m gonna carve my Gravestone Gonna dig my grave, gonna carve my stone   Should have seen what others see: time has caught up with me Should have known the price to pay – no-one escapes the reckoning day   Is it a crime if I stuck to my ideas but lied and cheated just to get by? I know that I must bear the mark of Judas And with everything I do I’m gonna carve my Gravestone Gonna dig my grave, gonna carve my stone

Desert Age 03:13
DESERT AGE Is there still a possibility to reach a next level in the game? No frontiers, no bounds, no liability – this thing called progress is to blame Time is blindly racing on towards more and more species’ extinction The Desert Age, we turn the page to start a new dismal chapter The more we yearn the sooner we turn our world into a barren wasteland Disaster struck and war torn – critical stage. At maximum speed we engage It takes more than a cycle or two to push a concept through The system’s failed now – welcome to the Desert Age Mankind is blindly racing on towards the end of civilization The Desert Age... Disaster

FRAGILE PEACE Evocation... Revocation... PROVOCATION!!! Morality is lost behind explanations Fragile peace shatters like glass Where have you been when all collapsed? Fragile peace, piece of deceit, we are so lost and incomplete What is this world coming into spinning into the unknown? Will we save it, will we change it or will we just leave it alone? Fragile peace shatters like glass Where have you been when all collapsed? Fragile peace, piece of deceit, we are so lost and incomplete Fragile peace shatters like glass Where have you been when all collapsed? Fragile peace, can not hold – this is the end unforetold...
