DESPAIR LYRICS

1. Decay Of Humanity

Forward - be progressive
The future is in our hands
Nothing is sacred if technology takes control
Don't care about logic
Principles are what you care about
What's a man life worth?
That's what you should think about
It is our fate - our fate

Honour and morality
They're always victims of progression
The glamour of our inventions
Has blinded our eyes to see the essentials

Responsability - thrown away quality
Replaced by lust and greed for gain
The human race is inhuman
Our IQ grows to maximum
Brains filled with equations
The High-Tech age controls our lives
While the spirit rots our feelings die
It is our fate - our fate

The way into the future is a dead end
The feeling called humanity gets lost
We do believe that only science will safe us
And forget that it may kill us

Knowledge and reason could be our rescue
Stop decay of humanity
Before technology leads us to death
Stop decay of our sanity

We're just a part of the machinery
Stop decay of humanity
Piece of metal without an identity
Stop decay of our sanity

2. Cry For Liberty

Look at this corageous young men
Their lifeless bodies are lying in the streets
Shot down by machine guns
Their only weapon was the truth
A peaceful fight they fought
For freedom and liberty they marched

A cry for liberty
The world just can't ignore
A cry for liberty
Why do we ignore

Again and again people are opressed
Violence is religion - injustice is the law
Did we learn what they thought?
A hopeless fight they fought
Astonished we stood still
They had to pay the bill

They stood up for their rights
They chose a peaceful fight
Their words were just ignored
Their hopes died by the sword

3. Delusion

I'm the one to rescue you
I'm the one you need
I take your soul
I take control
I rescue you to death
First I make you trust my lies
I do everything for you
After that you are hypnotized
And then I will destroy you

War - inside your brain
Confusion day by day
War and pain - you endure
Personality's decay
War - inside your brain
Let me catch your fall
War and pain - you will see
I will end it all

Your state of mind is my game
I juggle with your soul
You think I'll save you from pain
But all I'm searching for
Is your money and your soul
All addicted to me
While I grow richer day by day
I laugh at your dismay

The emptiness in your soul
The doubts in your mind
You are always my profit
'Cause you think I'm divine
You'll always be the looser
Never able to control the life
You've been born into
You'll always be the fool

You obey - and I grab
I suck you out while you bleed

4. Victims Of Vanity

Masters of mutilation
Your profession is death
You are playing with their lives
Wiping them all out
Kill without emotions
Who can be so cruel?
You keep on killing animals
Behaving like God

Your business is pain
You kill in the name of science
Helpless toys in your hands
Victims of our vanity

Innocent animals
They are victims of so called experiments
Slowly tortured to death
Extreme agony to test our perfumery

5. A Distant Territory

Walking through the doorway of our souls
We always step into a distant space
Where our spirits fly unchained
And are forever free
In the land of our dreams
Far away from cold reality

Through magic territories we travel on
And try to search for answers
Within our minds

Suddenly a dream passes by
A cold wind blows to freeze my mind
I'm torn back into reality
The end of all my fantasies
I wish myself back into the dream
While I fight against the stream
As coldness grips my heart
I fall down into the dark

6. Silent Screaming

Silent screaming and no one needs to listen
We don't care for each other's feelings
Try to hide behind some self styled ignorance
We have to realize the probs next door to us

The affluent society
Let the children pay the bill
It rips their innocence away

We are blind to problems in our surrounding
Can't hear the cry in the neighbourhood
Do you really think this is a game?
I call it maltreatment

Your conscience - you cut out
Morbid desires - you live out
You agonize children to satisfy your lust
To satisfy your sick mind
Their souls will pay the cost

What the hell is going on in your mind?
Don't you ever think about your children?
You torture the ones you should preserve
Your existence is a perversity

7. Radiated

Out in the cold - a dying world
The human race is lost
Now there's no God to save this world
Now we'll have to pay the price
Rotten nature, infected place
No way out of this maze

We keep feeding the machinery
The world is bleeding our humanity
We keep feeding our insanity

Go die - if you will never learn
Don't cry - when you see there's no return

So we destroy what we need to live
We hit what we should pay attention to

Rivers green - the trees are dead
Poisoned air the sky turns black
Now there's no one there to cry
Now we all will die

8. Satanic Verses
