1. Capital Punishment

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

Evil and torture
Are things you can't ignore in these ages of distrust
The challenges to authority
Are things they can't admit and they'll drown them in the dust
Choose your fate
You didn't wanna die 'cause it's they who are to blame
Woe betide
Them whose anger caused the end of liberty for you

Dare to say you didn't wanna die
No way you'll never get away
So stay another day
Take a look to all that they have done
You see the lives they have destroyed
And then you lose control

Wreck the edge
But cross the line of death and there will be nothing left
Take the oath
That one day they'll perish for the crime they perpetrate
Violence and terror
Show them what you feel when you're sitting in the chair
Dart but glare
You must prepare yourself for the capital punishment

Dare to say you didn't wanna die
No way you'll never get away
So stay another day
Take a look to all that they have done
You see the lives they have destroyed
And then you lose control

Evil and torture
Are things you can't ignore in these ages of distrust
The challenges to authority
Are things they can't admit and they'll drown them in the dust
Choose your fate
You didn't wanna die 'cause it's they who are to blame
Woe betide
Them whose anger caused the end of liberty for you

Dare to say you didn't wanna die
No way you'll never get away
So stay another day
Take a look to all that they have done
You see the lives they have destroyed
And then you lose control

2. Violence First

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

Innocent victim of your fate
When blind devotion came you didn't choose to betray
Slow death begins to freeze your soul
Dying for your opinions, fuck no !
(You) didn't choose to die for one's foolish act
Scream your fear and pain 'till there's nobody left
Losing ground, just close your eyes
And pray not to live this again

Nothing can help you, you're not the first
And certainly not the last, it's violence first
You can't understand the hate
that drives those fools to commit a crime
You're certainly not the last ('cause) it's violence first

Sadistic perversion of the mind
Try to run, try to scream before it's too late
Fire and pain are the rules of the game
But where is the fame ?
Pools of blood, corpses strewn
Do you feel the knife that is piercing your back ?
Bury life without emotion
For you it's the end of the game

Nothing can help you, you're not the first
And certainly not the last, it's violence first
You can't understand the hate
that drives those fools to commit a crime
You're certainly not the last ('cause) it's violence first

Innocent victim of your fate
When blind devotion came you didn't choose to betray
Slow death begins to freeze your soul
Dying for your opinions, fuck no !
(You) didn't choose to die for one's foolish act
Scream your fear and pain 'till there's nobody left
Losing ground, just close your eyes
And pray not to live this again

Sadistic perversion of the mind
Try to run, try to scream before it's too late
Fire and pain are the rules of the game
But where is the fame ?
Pools of blood, corpses strewn
Do you feel the knife that is piercing your back ?
Bury life without emotion
For you it's the end of the game

Nothing can help you, you're not the first
And certainly not the last, it's violence first
You can't understand the hate
that drives those fools to commit a crime
You're certainly not the last ('cause) it's violence first

3. Slice Of Death

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

I never thought that things of life would come this far you know
You cannot think about the future, gotta face it so
Chemical dependency becomes like slavery
Grim technology grows and it will bring you to your knees
We now live in a world made of corruption and greed
Where things are easy to obtain for those who do not need
Mankind is the only real menace in this world
I dare not look, I dare not hear this shriek of agony

Watch out for this slice of death
Oceans die and forests burn
Environment destroyed by neglect
Greenhouse gasses fill the air
Watch out for this slice of death
Toxic wastes destroyed by need
Environment destroyed by neglect
Slice of death

The flood of acid rain burns the forests that remain
'Till we can breathe no more, life is not only a game
Pollution rates from nowadays are shooting up so fast
So it will continue until nothing more can last
We share responsibility for all that we have done
But isn't it too late now to save mankind from mankind ?
Deadly mess of human corpses laying all around
(I) dare not look, I dare not hear this shriek of agony

Watch out for this slice of death
Oceans die and forests burn
Environment destroyed by neglect
Greenhouse gasses fill the air
Watch out for this slice of death
Toxic wastes destroyed by need
Environment destroyed by neglect
Slice of death

Fear, thus we will disrupt the world
Creating shortage all around us
So real, beginning of the end
Accounting for what happens all around us

I never thought that things of life would come this far you know
You cannot think about the future, gotta face it so
Chemical dependency becomes like slavery
Grim technology grows and it will bring you to your knees
We now live in a world made of corruption and greed
Where things are easy to obtain for those who do not need
Mankind is the only real menace in this world
I dare not look, I dare not hear this shriek of agony

Watch out for this slice of death
Oceans die and forests burn
Environment destroyed by neglect
Greenhouse gasses fill the air
Watch out for this slice of death
Toxic wastes destroyed by need
Environment destroyed by neglect
Slice of death

4. Health For Sale

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

Total isolation, how will they ever know ?
No other place to live, they can only face the show
Another victim dies as they watch their children grow
As long as life can last
(As) they can feel the wind burning them so fast
They know they will learn how to face reality

Some people fear the night and the mutants they created
Others are taken to where death becomes a toll
Children without arms, without eyes, without legs, but children
One day they're gonna pay
For they left scars that'll never fade away
The legacy of the bomb doesn't last forever

Who, who's to blame ? There is no way
To know the truth, the words to say
I think there will be hell to pay
Somehow the day will come for them to pay
The only thing to do: pray
'Cause they'll put up your health for sale

Incurable sick they'll be
The illness will bring them on their knees
If you knew you're gonna die could you face reality ?
Sufficient to blow the earth
It's no use to mankind, it burns
Irradiation organization has a game to play

Who, who's to blame ? There is no way
To know the truth, the words to say
I think there will be hell to pay
Somehow the day will come for them to pay
The only thing to do: pray
'Cause they'll put up your health for sale

Hell, this place is hell but it's never to be told
Place, this is your place 'cause it's all that you hold
Fear, you smell the fear as you're feeling the pain
Pain, you feel the pain but no way to explain

Total isolation, how will they ever know ?
No other place to live, they can only face the show
Another victim dies as they watch their children grow
Sufficient to blow the earth
It's no use to mankind, it burns
Irradiation organization has a game to play

Who, who's to blame ? There is no way
To know the truth, the words to say
I think there will be hell to pay
Somehow the day will come for them to pay
The only thing to do: pray
'Cause they'll put up your health for sale

5. Paranoia Time

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

Brother, I feel so lonely, I never dared to see this far
Don't tell us what to think, don't even tell us what to do
Lies are the only thing that really matters to you

Corruption of the innocent and enslaving of the free
You're in, you're here to stay and it's a horrible place to be
A world of endless wars where cupidity makes the rules
It's paranoia time and it's time to break the rules

Killing and dying, believing and crying
We're living in a world of fear
Living and lying, forgetting or trying
Paranoia time

It's easier to lie, we're not prepared to face the truth
Humanity's afraid to see what lies behind the lies
Self-destruction, break it up, refuse to play the role
Save your breath, make it end before you pay the toll

Killing and dying, believing and crying
We're living in a world of fear
Living and lying, forgetting or trying
Paranoia time

This is my place, this is my world
And I'm not gonna let them put it down
I just maintain my sanity
But they're trapped in their mentality
We're chained to the wall, there's no way to change
I'm searching how to turn the page
It's sickening not to see the light
And to live an eternal night

Killing and dying, believing and crying
We're living in a world of fear
Living and lying, forgetting or trying

6. The One Who Minds The Worm

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

7. One Big Family

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

The danger is the fear of change
We all wanna communicate
Maximum sincerity
Fear for lack of liberty
Who are you, are you blind ?
Censorship rules your mind
Deep inside you're selfish
Live and let live

The growing gap between people
Is caused by their intolerance
They're trapped in their mentality
The only thing that they can see
The growing gap between people
Is caused by their intolerance
They're trapped in their mentality
The only thing that they can see

One big family
You have no place to be
So get real
One discrepancy
Is poisoning the free
Can't you see ?
One big family
You have no place to be
So get real
One discrepancy
Is poisoning the free
Can't you see ?

Whose art is it anyway ?
Face the music of today
We just wanna be ourselves
Just like anybody else
Don't put down what you don't like
It's a way, way of life
You'll have to break the rules
It's a way of life

One big family
You have no place to be
So get real
One discrepancy
Is poisoning the free
Can't you see ?
One big family
You have no place to be
So get real
One discrepancy
Is poisoning the free
Can't you see ?

The danger is the fear of change
We all wanna communicate
Maximum sincerity
Fear for lack of liberty
Who are you, are you blind ?
Censorship rules your mind
Deep inside you're selfish
Live and let live

One big family
You have no place to be
So get real
One discrepancy
Is poisoning the free
Can't you see ?
One big family
You have no place to be
So get real
One discrepancy
Is poisoning the free
Can't you see ?

8. Where Shadows Are Dark

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

I felt I was being betrayed
Break the feeling of faith
For now no changes were brought
How many battles were fought ?
You were proceeding like if I was a fool
For you I only was a mindless tool
Unreal illusion of a perfect world
Why should I worry it's an endless search

All I see is greed
Lies ! Why ?
Do as you were told, you have no need to be
Hate dictates the law
Lies ! Die !
When the barricades are coming down

You turn the area into a war zone
You're splitting me to the bone
Get real, close the trial, get a lethal dose
Of endless wars, lost causes
Humanity crying, an endless call
But it's regression, progressive downfall
Unreal illusion of a perfect world
Why should I worry it's an endless search

All I see is greed
Lies ! Why ?
Do as you were told, you have no need to be
Hate dictates the law
Lies ! Die !
When the barricades are coming down

I felt I was being betrayed
Break the feeling of faith
For now no changes were brought
How many battles were fought ?
You were proceeding like if I was a fool
For you I only was a mindless tool
Unreal illusion of a perfect world
Why should I worry it's an endless search

All I see is greed
Lies ! Why ?
Do as you were told, you have no need to be
Hate dictates the law
Lies ! Die !
When the barricades are coming down

9. Mr. Pain

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

[Instrumental]

10. No Thanks

[D. Cardoen - Y. Cluckers]

No thanks, you gotta break the rules
No longer servant to the Cause, think of what you're gonna do
Trust no more and you'll be free
They even don't believe a word of what they say
Raise your hands, not in despair
You can now take a look at that vicious game they play
Blind faith is what they want
Result is chronic ignorance but that is nothing new

No thanks is what we say
Think twice about the way
No fear, they're gonna pay
No thanks is what we say

Taste me once, belong to me
The eyes that watch you from the sky have time enough to wait
For you to fall, for you to die
All you become is a manipulated slave
No respect, your life's from you
More is what you need and that's what you shall not have
Dig your grave with what you need
You burn your life full speed ahead but could you only know ?

No thanks is what we say
Think twice about the way
No fear, they're gonna pay
No thanks is what we say

Say now what you want before they make it illegal
What the hell is the world coming to ?
Give me freedom, or give me death
Don't think about what will be left

No thanks, you gotta break the rules
No longer servant to the Cause, think of what you're gonna do
Trust no more and you'll be free
They even don't believe a word of what they say
Raise your hands, not in despair
You can now take a look at that vicious game they play
Blind faith is what they want
Result is chronic ignorance but that is nothing new

No thanks is what we say
Think twice about the way
No fear, they're gonna pay
No thanks is what we say
