ANGELUS APATRIDA LYRICS

1. Immortal

They offered freedom to the new generations
While they nailed their mouths with spikes
Work hard to get rich is the craving of this nation
Mortgaging your life until you die.

Live for nothing, die for their others profit
Welcome to the welfare state, modern prison.

The big ones sharing pieces of the millionaire pie
Keeping the people on a leash
Bread and circuses for the suffocated masses
Even if there's nothing to eat.

Echoes from the past form the new world order
The shadow of the dictator remains immortal.

I'll cry out:
How glorious is this country seeding from the old dead tree
One tyrants goes, another comes to take the throne
How could someone be proud of living in this mediocrity?
The king is dead. Long live the king!

Feudal laws turned democracy in to a police state
Sing the funeral song for the freedom of speech
Be careful what you opine, what you write or say
Welcome to the land of the free.

Crackdown, repression, intimidation
Crashing the protester with bloody violence.

I'll cry out:
How glorious is this country seeding from the old dead tree
One tyrant goes, another comes to take the throne
How could someone be proud of living in this mediocrity?
The king is dead. Long live the king!

[Solo: Álvarez, Izquierdo]

Old fashioned premise for god and country
Sentencing liberty to death
Becoming popular reactionary habits
Xenophobia standing on the edge.

Echoes from the past form the new world order
The shadow of the dictator remains immortal.

I'll cry out:
How glorious is this country seeding from the old dead tree
One tyrant goes, another comes to take the throne
How could someone be proud of living in this mediocrity?
The king is dead. Long live the king!

2. First World Of Terror

A call to arms, it's time for braves to rise, long awaited sacrifice
Peacemakers walking through the sand, you better run

In the name of freedom we march into the infested land
Purifying every single path, nowhere to hide

Fire. Obey. Kill. Obey
Fire. Kill. Bloodlust. Deployment of power
Terror. Genocide. Democracy be my guide

My M16 is ready for the fight, hesitating with desire
It's so exciting point at real lives, time for the hunt

There's no remorse, no fear, no doubt, god is by my side
I pull the trigger, I close my eyes. First blood

I will give my life for this flag
Fight for freedom til my last breath
As if dust in strong wind I disappear
Remember to be proud of me

Formation! - Captain cried back to us
Five bodies laying on the ground. No signs of life

Smell of blood and powder fills the air, I taste my cold sweat
Wide eyes looking at my first preys. Dominate

Fire. Obey. Kill. Obey
Fire. Kill. Bloodlust. Deployment of power
Terror. Genocide. Democracy be my guide

I will give my life for this flag
Fight for freedom til my last breath
As if dust in strong wind I disappear
Remember to be proud of me

Dark eradication plans
The truth of human soul is behind the light
A war will never be the way

As the gavel of justice falls
Striking against the sounding block
First world of terror

[Solo: Álvarez]

I will give my life for this flag
Fight for freedom til my last breath
As if dust in strong wind I disappear
Remember to be proud of me

3. Architects

What if everything you know is just a made-up truth?
Every word written in history are part of a big black lie
We are not made from Adam’s rib; there’s no biblical God
No more descendants from the ape, might be something else

[PRE-CHORUS:]
Premeditated cradle
And so,
We are
Descendants from the stars

[CHORUS:]
Years of investigation can’t find the words to explain why we are so special
What is the Human Race?
Designed in laboratories light years away from here
Imperfect masterpiece of alien architects

So selfish to say that we’re alone in the space immensity
We’re just an insignificant dot into the infinity
Part of a bigger chain of life, massive master plan
Maybe we are not a coincidence
And someone else put the seed on Earth

[PRE-CHORUS:]
Premeditated cradle
And so,
We are
Descendants from the stars

[CHORUS:]
Years of investigation can’t find the words to explain why we are so special
What is the Human Race?
Designed in laboratories light years away from here
Imperfect masterpiece of alien architects

Maybe wrong foundations of modern science
The missing link is right before our eyes

[CHORUS:]
Years of investigation can’t find the words to explain why we are so special
What is the Human Race?
Designed in laboratories light years away from here
Imperfect masterpiece of alien architects

4. Tug Of War

I pull, you push, it's something wicked
Request, refused, an obscure menace
Who wins? Who loses? Who is forgotten?
No peace allowed, words are forbidden

Trying to bury me alive; I ain't dead yet
Like the devil's false compromise

I am the source, you're the curse
You rise, I fall. The root of evil
I bet, you choose, perfect gamble
I played your rules, judge and beholder

You nailed your fingers deep inside the wounds
Playing a dangerous tug of war

Something is killing this world
Running fast through its entrails
Let's burn what sets us apart because nothing lasts forever
Breaking our hearts made of stone, spitting words full of needles
Let's burn what sets us apart and never say never

First hunt, round two, clash of egos
You tread my rope, lack of reason
Like sharks on blood, dancing rhythmless
The well of hope, struggle prison

I nailed my fingers deep inside the wounds
Playing a dangerous tug of war

Something is killing this world
Running fast through its entrails
Let's burn what sets us apart because nothing lasts forever
Breaking our hearts made of stone, spitting words full of needles
Let's burn what sets us apart and never say never

[Solo: Álvarez, Izquierdo]

Tug of war rages on

You crawl, I roll, we feed each other
We've lost control, settled scores
What's hate? What's love? What's the difference?
Who's hunt? Who's the prey? How did this start?

The noise silence, it resounds inside my head
Like shattered glass against the wall

Something is killing this world
Running fast through its entrails
Let's burn what sets us apart because nothing lasts forever
Breaking our hearts made of stone, spitting words full of needles
Let's burn what sets us apart and never say never

5. Serpents On Parade

They speak in the parliament with venomous words
Infecting the future we fought for
Poisoned weapons, their tongues cheat the world
Assuring the wealth to the poor

Serpents on parade
Smash the serpents on parade

Using religion to scare the masses
Increasing the ashes in the tombs
They give us promises when everything's lost
Engaging our own self destruction

Serpents on parade
Smash the serpents on parade

The rays of hope like light they fall into the black hole
While they dictate a brand new law
Proof of the power they hold
The highest bidder buys the peace with dirty money fees
It's time for us to take the throne
Reaching liberty

Serpents on parade
Smash the serpents on parade
Serpents on parade
Smash the serpents on parade

I can't believe the cynicism with that they tease
The population feed the beast
By voting every fucking time
That is their legal trick

No!
The same old story that's been told
Is getting bigger ever more

No!
We shall construct a better world
Free of these evil overlords

Serpents on parade
Smash the serpents on parade
Serpents on parade
Smash the serpents on parade

6. Wanderers Forever

We don't expect you understand this life
But that's the fuel that moves our engines
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
Never regretting of what we've left behind

Our passion is our backbone
What makes us stand in line
Hearts beating, spirits bleeding
We are made of flesh and bones

One direction, one straight path
That's how we live our lives
Waking up the fury we hold inside

Thousands of miles we walked
Rising after the falls
We are free, we're wild, we are in this together
We want it, and we need it
Flying high and running slow
We are wanderers forever

Living in the road so far away from home
Growing up one family all across the world
Raze everything to the ground in our way
Feeling as stronger as it was the first day

Our passion is our backbone
Our passion is our backbone
What makes us stand in line
Hearts beating, spirits bleeding
We are made of flesh and bones

One direction, one straight path
That's how we live our lives
Waking up the fury we hold inside

Thousands of miles we walked
Rising after the falls
We are free, we're wild, we are in this together
We want it, and we need it
Flying high and running slow
We are wanderers forever

[Solo: Álvarez, Izquierdo]

Thousands of miles we walked
Rising after the falls
We are free, we're wild, we are in this together
We want it, and we need it
Flying high and running slow
We are wanderers forever

7. End Man

Your tongue is always moving in a whirlwind
Why don't you shut your mouth?
I never had a chance to protest
It's like my lips are stitched

My life's in constant persecution
All fingers point to me
I'd like to act in retribution
But something's stopping me

I'm alone
I clench my trembling fists so hard
My nails are bleeding against the palms

You probably never knew my name
And I can't forget yours
I'm just the man remaining down your rules
Your mandatory laws

Sometimes I wish I'd died instead of this
I can't stand anymore
Living in this world as someone's bitch
It burns deep in the core

I'm alone
I clench my trembling fists so hard
My nails are bleeding against the palms

Take the pill and just forget it all
I'm another grain of sand ashore
Carving on a stone a faceless name
Leave the memory 'cause I am the end man

Screaming with muted voice, withstanding through agony
Another haze, another shove, another kick, another blow
That's all your game, my bloody role. I'm the end man

[Solo: Izquierdo, Álvarez, Izquierdo, Álvarez]

Take the pill and just forget it all
I'm another grain of sand ashore
Carving on a stone a faceless name
Leave the memory 'cause I am the end man

I am the cannon fodder of this war
An expendable toy
Taking all your anger out on me
I serve you for your joy

Your brain is full of cryptic riddles
Tidal wave on insanity
An endless fight against yourself
Your worst enemy

8. Speed Of Light

I don't care what you have now to say, you sing the same old song
I've been around since you were just a kid, when nobody gave a fuck

It's so hilarious when I look at you walking in line like clones
Where is the attitude? Where is the scene? Where is all that preach? Uh?

I remember when all of this began, the fire in our hearts
Learning hardly how to pick the tone, there were no easy shortcuts

All those sparks still shining bright, they keep us alive
Take this lesson: The faster you climb, the harder you will fall

Ohhhhhhhhhh... Reaching the speed of light
Ohhhhhhhhhh... Taking away what you forgot to hide
Ohhhhhhhhhh... Reaching the speed of light
Ohhhhhhhhhh... It doesn't matter who you are
That's more than music, this is my life

[Solo: Amott]

Such a huge important difference between you and me
It's so easy to think before you speak, something I already did

Talking, talking, but you're doing nothing! Say what you want
You need a dose of humility straight into the vein

Ohhhhhhhhhh... Reaching the speed of light
Ohhhhhhhhhh... Taking away what you forgot to hide
Ohhhhhhhhhh... Reaching the speed of light
Ohhhhhhhhhh... It doesn't matter who you are
That's more than music, this is my life

[Solo: both, Álvarez, Izquierdo]

You imply I am not worthy of this, of what I got
What we defend, what we believe in. You are messing it up

I ain't gonna tell you nothing else, you are a waste of time
Talking bullshit about what music is. Get the fuck outta here!

Ohhhhhhhhhh... Reaching the speed of light
Ohhhhhhhhhh... Taking away what you forgot to hide
Ohhhhhhhhhh... Reaching the speed of light
Ohhhhhhhhhh... It doesn't matter who you are
That's more than music, this is my life

9. I Owe You Nothing

I've tried by all means to calm your thirst for blood
I'm so tired. This stupid struggle has gone too far
On and on you treated me like a homeless dog
You pulled so hard to see what's at the end of the rope

I own you nothing! Don't waste my time
Talking to you is like walking on a minefield

I served my head up on a plate of gold
Wasting nights, sleepless hours, but who's fault?
I was at my wit's end, stifling, dancing like a hanged man
No one to untie me from my sins

I own you nothing! Don't waste my time
Talking to you is like walking on a minefield
I hear you crawling, I've got nothing to lose
Desperation turned my hopes to rust

All that I lost, all tears I dropped won't be in vain
When you'll be dead
All the words I swore, all the salt you spit into my sores
Turn back to freedom

For years I put my confidence in you
I never thought your treachery would be so cruel
Saint and sinner, bleeder, acting like a marionette
No one to free me from your strings

I own you nothing! Don't waste my time
Talking to you is like walking on a minefield
I hear you crawling, I've got nothing to lose
Desperation turned my hopes to rust

All that I lost, all tears I dropped won't be in vain
When you'll be dead
All the words I swore, all the salt you spit into my sores
Turn back to freedom

[Solo: Izquierdo, both, Álvarez]

I own you nothing! Don't waste my time
But you owe me every minute that I spent on you
Saint and sinner, bleeder, acting like a marionette
Someone to free me from your strings

I own you nothing! Don't waste my time
Talking to you is like walking on a minefield
I hear you crawling, I've got nothing to lose
Desperation turned my hopes to rust

All that I lost, all tears I dropped won't be in vain
When you'll be dead
All the words I swore, all the salt you spit into my sores
Turn back to freedom

10. Hidden Evolution

Conspiracy. Large corporations dominate the lie
What we can't see, are indeed
(The) Revolutionary thoughts for a better life

Cut the band that blinds our eyes
(And) Realize there's something else

Truth hurts. It is more comfortable to remain in ignorance
Just believe what you see, what you read, never question what it means

The yellow road is covered with blood, brick by brick it disappears
Building up the untruth, more and more, distorting evidence

Free the knowledge, break the walls of this crystal cell
Fall into the rabbit hole - catch the hidden evolution
Let the secrets be revealed, the truth must be told
Fall into the rabbit hole - catch the hidden evolution

Hypocrisy. It seems to be more profitable blocking up the progress
As we can read, history was written in detriment of the human race

Turn off your TV, think for yourself, freedom is at your fingertips

Truth hurts. It is so easy way out to escape from ignorance
Don't believe what you see, what you read, and always question what it means

The yellow road is covered with blood, brick by brick it disappears
Building up the untruth, more and more, distorting evidence

Free the knowledge, break the walls of this crystal cell
Fall into the rabbit hole - catch the hidden evolution
Let the secrets be revealed, the truth must be told
Fall into the rabbit hole - catch the hidden evolution

[Solo: Izquierdo, Izquierdo, Álvarez]

Reality. Close down the unbreakable tower of lies
The more you think, the more you see, unmask the real face under the veil

Cut the band that blinds our eyes
(And) Realize there's something else

Truth hurts. It is so easy way out to escape from ignorance
Don't believe what you see, what you read, and always question what it means

The yellow road is covered with blood, brick by brick it disappears
Building up the untruth, more and more, distorting evidence

Free the knowledge, break the walls of this crystal cell
Fall into the rabbit hole - catch the hidden evolution
Let the secrets be revealed, the truth must be told
Fall into the rabbit hole - catch the hidden evolution
