ARISE LYRICS

1. How Long Can You Pretend?

You are levatating on your dreams this fashion suit you
because you do not feel real a longing,
a yearning to stand in the lights
I turn on the camera and you give me your life.
And you're willing to pay the price!

How far will you go for money?
(to play the game), how long can you pretend?
All the embarrasing moments
(I feel ashamed), it's so hard to understand.

Humiliation infront of the nation you sit there
crying with standing ovations,
you bite down hard and swallow the pain
and stricktly follow your path to fame.
And you're willing to pay the price!

2. A New World

Cold earth or hot sands,
everywhere you turn is absence of green.
(your skin can no longer save you from the burning sun,
light has become you deadliest enemy).

Welcome to the new world, it's a dead world, what have we done?

Poisoned air and barren lands
you cannot profit from a dying world.
(Man's only hope is to get off this planet
and find new luck in the colonization of space).

Welcome to the new world, it's a dead world, what have we done?
Welcome to the new world, it's a lost world, it may be the only one!

Human greed and human anger has cut down the last remaining tree.
(Where is your promised land?
Your paradise are lost foverever,
everything is buried in this dried out land).

Welcome to the new world, its a dead world, what have we done?
Welcome to the new world, its a lost world, it may be the only one...
...out there.

3. Profit From The Weak

I stand here working, chained to the ground to make my bed and hope to survive.
My body hurts and my stomach turns and that's the way
I feel about you too.
Suffer... Suffer...
Bigger pockets needs bigger money.
What is it worth to you?
A worn-out man for a shimmering gold coin?
If you work harder you'll get a reward – like what... a broken back?
Suffer... Suffer...

Capitalistic, materialistic!
You only profit on our misery.
Capitalistic, materialistic!
A sacrifice gives a cheaper price.

You keep on pushing it harder and harder
until we hang from a rope in the ceeling.
You ruining lives to fill you pockets
I guess where just to stupid to realize!
Suffer... Suffer...
Bigger pockets needs bigger money.

4. Dreams Worthy Gods

Take your time when you move ahead,
systems corrupts you, the bringer of death.
You believe that other souls are fake,
it makes you realise that you cannot be the one you pretend to be!

Darkness or light, you can not decide wich to feed.
Can't turn away from the light or the darkness within.
You try to realize the dreams that cannot be.
You try to scream of love, free you from all fools.
You try to be a lie, a bender of the rules.
Cause inside of you is science worthy gods.

Shifting gears when moving upphill,
they will bring you down, or you'll do it yourself.
You believe in what you do is true,
can't pretend your the center body with the universe circling around you!

Darkness or light, you can not decide wich to feed.
Can't turn away from the light or the darkness within.
You try to realize the dreams that cannot be.
You try to scream of love, free you from all fools.
You try to be a lie, a bender of the rules.
Cause inside of you is science worthy gods.

You try to realize the dreams that cannot be.
You try to scream of love, free you from all fools.
You try to be a lie, a bender of the rules.
Cause inside of you is science worthy gods.

5. King Of Yesterday, Slave Of Today

Distorted colors in a painfull light,
etched to my vision as a spear through my eyes.
I have no memory of what I have done,
this was the last time, this was the final one!

Running dry, feeling low,
burning headache, twisting knives in my eyes.
I can't believe that I will do it again,
the king of yesterday becomes the slave of today.

The walls are leaning over me,
moving closer, ready to fall.
Every noise is like hitting the anvil,
this was the last time, this was the final one.

No, never again! stop the chaos and I'll surrender!
No, never again! Maybe tomorrow all is forgotten.

6. Of Life And Death

This an exploration of the human mind,
a test performed on the missbehaved.
We give you injections and you collect a reward,
where are we going? I guess no one knows.
This is an experiment on the human soul,
a crossbreeding extravaganza.
If you engine is bad we're just tuning it up,
with the use of science we've become gods!

A new religion, gods of the present and future.
We are the new religion, masters of life and death.

Are you ready for your health inspection,
nothing will cure you like a brain injection.
Evolution seems to have stagnated,
we're merely increasing the speed.

A new religion, gods of the present and future.
We are the new religion, masters of life and death.
A new religion...

7. Expendable Heroes

Listen citizens we are on the verge of war,
I will never let my empire fall.
Gather your swords and shields,
as long as I live my empire stands!
Protect the elite, protect the money.
Protect the elite, a hammerblow on the economy.

Children watching the sun descend,
dreaming away to an happy end.

Old men and women marching out into the minefields.
Waiting for the first one to explode.
Take a way the bodies and we got a clear road.
Protect the elite, protect the money.
Protect the elite a hammerblow on the economy.
Listen children you will be my army,
the greatest game you've ever played.
You are no heroes, you are slaves to the dollar sign.
Protect the elite, protect the money.
Protect the elite a hammerblow on the economy.

Children watching the sun descend,
dreaming away to an happy end.
Children watching the sun descend, children...

8. Inject The Machine

You know what's coming to you, you will never grow old.
Even in freezing temperature you will never feel cold.
Time is just a word, it has lost it's effect.

Cybernetic replacements is an upcoming trend.
Can you tell me there's no danger in uploading new software to your brain?

When we no longer feel no pain, have we lost the ability to love?
Can you tell me what we are made of, what are you made of?

Inject the machine... Inject the machine... Inject... Inject the machine...
You connect to the machine, is this what you planned?
Is this your dream?
You can no longer dream!

9. Misery

Standing in the pale city lights with an empty street infront of me.
I'm asking myself if I could have done it better, but I do not have the answer!
Do you think that you can change it for the better, well, you are most certainly wrong.
Cause I'm leaving it behind me and I will never, never look back!

Misery, is all I can offer?
Misery, the bitter taste of,
Misery, it's all that I recall.
I can not stand this misery.

I can not wait for death to take me, no, I've made up my mind.
I have walked in misery for far to long now.
Now I'm closing the door.
I have bought my life expensive and it's needless to say that it's killing me.
I guess I chose the wrong currency, and it's to late to trade back.

My skin seems young but my inside feels rotten and my blood is no longer running.
I came in misery and I lived in shame, now I leave in the way I came.

10. Broken Trust

You broke my trust, I wont be able to trust again.
Your not my friend no more, it was all a lie.
You killed her, it does not matter if I pulled the trigger.
You betrayed me with your lust, you took my love.
You killed me and did not realize you killed yourself?
A clever deciever? You're a bug under my boot!

Liar, you broke my confidence.
You sat my world on fire, it has left me scars.
Liar, I thought that you where pure?
I will never learn to trust, anyone again!

I did not want to, but it felt good to unleash my anger.
Revenge, through the barrel of my gun.
She looks so innocent, against the wall in a pool of blood.
I got my revenge but I will forever carry the loss!

I was betrayed.
I feel hollow.
All I had, is now a dream.
LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!

11. Tribute To The Flesh

Feel the liquid stains on your skin, feel your body decompose.
Strip your skin to the bone, inside's black as tar.
Cavities rot with ulcers, brain turns to pus.
Tearing and writhing, you can't escape... this hell!

Feel your body rot, rot in putrescence.
This is a tribute, to the rotten flesh.
A serenade to the maggots in your wounds.

Your flesh entwines, as the maggots crawl.
Pain has no meaning, pain's no excuse.
You try to cut the cord, try to end all life.
Pure smell of death, it's time to face... your hell!

Watch my blade explore, your bloody rotten gore.
Vile smell of putrefaction, choking on your body's fumes.
Layers of tissue, peeled from your back.
The time has come, for you to burn... in hell!
