FALL OF CARTHAGE LYRICS

1. Signs Of Corruption

Signs of corruption
Signs of corruption
Signs of corruption
Signs of theft.

See this system,
A dropped hand grenade.
A volcano,
A rabid rattlesnake.

Deny the truth,
Deny all the facts,
They'll be all withheld and banned.
Bow down to the demigod,
They bow down to you,
Down to you.

No, seriously,
You're a fucking scavenger,
Hiding from the public
So your deeds won't be revealed.
Looking away in the right moment,
Spreading lies like it ain't a thing.
Man, fuck you!
There needs to be justice.

Signs of corruption
Signs of corruption
Signs of corruption
Signs of theft.

Hear and listen,
Don't just catch that grenade.
That tornado,
That rabid rattlesnake.

S'there anyone good?
Anyone to stand strong?
When all cash has been gambled
And all hope has been gone.

Deny the truth,
Deny all,
Deny the truth,
Deny all,
Deny!

2. Priceless

Does it really hurt you?
Does it bother you
More than me?
More than ever?

Does it really hurt?
Does it really bother you
More than ever?

There's no more lie to deny.
Well, game over, good-bye.
No guilty conscience after all.
It belongs to the past.

Don't you say my name,
It will dissolve in echoes.
Maybe a memory slips through
But you will shake it off and
And make it all right.

All compliments bounce off
And probably die.
No soul-stirring glancing the after-life.

Does it really hurt you ?
Does it bother you
More than me?
More than ever?

Is that you?
Turning your back on me in silence?
He he, wait.
We've only just started
And now you gon' quit like it's a fuckin' side job?
He he, you're a bad girl ain't ya?
Ain't you a bitch?
Surprise is
You're not gon' get away with it.
I swear I'll break that motherfuckas' neck
Right in front of you eyes.
I'll stick some of that shiny little scalpels
Right inside his black heart.
Ain't no fucking sunshine you know?
Give it up, give it up,
It's useless.

I see you suffer in pain and it's priceless!

Damn, for real though.
Can you feel my love now, can you?
Oh, you guys shivering?
I spit on you!
Bleh.
It's priceless
To see you cry!
It's priceless
It's priceless
It's priceless
It's priceless
It's priceless
It's priceless
It's priceless
It's priceless

Does it really hurt you?
Does it bother you?
More than me?
More than ever?

Does it really hurt?
Does it really bother you
More than ever?
More than ever?

3. Superior

Quit!
Preconception.
I for one give a shit.

What if I don't care, know-it-all?
Bout you and your close-minded view,
You feel ...
Superior
Superior
Superior
Superior

We don't fit into your fucked up stereotype,
We're not fulfilling your expectations
Of a young band surfacing,
What if we don't want to? (hey!)
What if we don't want to?
"Why not simply do deathcore, black metal or grind?" (hey, hey)
What if we don't care? But you're...
Superior

Shove your goddamn review
Up your ass (go)
On and on it goes, go
On and on, go
On and on it goes.
On and on.

Your truth (is) the whole truth - and nothing but the truth?
Your truth (is) the whole truth - and nothing but the truth?

Preconception,
All of us give a fuck.
What if we don't care, know-it-all?
About your empty words.

However, we're just happy doing our thing.
Does it really have to fit into something?
Who cares about your 5-star ratings?
Fuck trends invented,
Fuck your genres.
Media creates its heroes,
A world of fake and weirdos.
Why do you even take time to write it all?
Why don't you quit?

Superior mind.

4. Down There

Down there,
Down there,
Down there.

Remember when your dad made you feel life so painfully?
Your mom hid so anxiously.

Remember when the state fucked you oh so terribly?
Your counsel failed shamelessly.

Remember when your friend died so hopelessly?
The cops failed so miserably.

Remember when your last letter to your granny said
I miss you, yours faithfully.

Yours faithfully.

5. Emma Green

Her name was Emma,
And well, nobody cared when she left,
No one noticed, no one was there,
No one noticed.

She was still a child
When her daddy dragged her down the stairways
To darkness.

At first she smiled
Shy and excited
And then he pulled down his pants.

No one cared - no one noticed,
No one cared - no one noticed.

Mama was upstairs watching "Leave it to Beaver"
What a brilliant deceiver.
Did she just see blood run down the holy cross?
Unaware of her greatest loss.

If you could see all the hooks and chains,
The sperm and blood stains.
Daddy and his friends left their marks
On a twelve year old,
It's so unbelievable.

She died young,
She died too young.

Emma, Emma.

No one cared - no one noticed.
No one cared - no one noticed.

She was just a teen
When some puppy found her lying face down in the green.
Not in this town you might think
But it just happens everywhere, believe me.

She died young,
She died too young.
No one was there to sing her to sleep
She died young
She died too young
No one was there for her,
No, no one noticed.

Tja...
Remember her
That late September when she left us
Lying on the green over broken glass.
The sun went down
For the last time.

No one cared,
No one noticed.
No one cared,
No one noticed.
Emma you died too young
Emma you died too young
Emma you died too young
Emma you died too young
Emma you died too young
Emma you died too young
Emma you died too young

6. Lies In Your Cup

Reconsider,
Equalize,
Human nature.
Vote for life.

Hate is here to stay,
Truth is meant to die.
We'd better start to think and worry.

Unreason winning.
Unpacified.
I'm talking bout the lives of our children.

You make me shake my head in disbelief,
You make me raise my fist in anger.

They drop the lies,
The lies in your cup.
This ain't no medicine.
It only feeds your rage and
Anger.

They drop the lies,
The lies in your cup.
You sip their fairy tales.
Unless you use your rage and anger
Anger.

That anger. Anger.

Go.

You make me shake my head in disbelief.

Reconsider,
Equalize.
Human nature.
Vote for life.

Dear folks,
We're having a serious topic, you know.
Calm down and don't panic.

Downfall,
The downfall of everything.
Seems so near,
Downfall.

See what happened in Hamburg in July 2017.
The streets were burning.
G20-protesters burning cars of poor and unconcerned people.
Meaning to fight capitalism.
Breaking into an apple store, stealing iPhones and whatever.
Making selfies in front of the devastating mess.
Man, this looked like a fuckin' civil war,
Police telling people to stay at home.
Where's this leading to?
They were throwing flagstones onto the police from rooftops.
What the fuck?
And yet media is only showing and reporting one side of the story.
Is there another? Is this true? I'm worried.

This is so wrong,
This is so perfectly wrong.
And nothing but wrong.

7. Belongings

Taxes are my demise,
My downfall is simple.
Who could ever pay it all?
Not me, nor you, and that's the point..

Mass consumption,
So unreal.
Imbalance of wealth,

Half my income,
Half your tip
At a dinner with your yourself.

Take all my belongings.
Take all my money.
Take all my savings.

Take all my savings.

I spend my money on food and oil
To heat the children's rooms (yeah).
You spend your wealth on your cars
And your wife's next surgery.

Take all my belongings.
Take all my money.
Take all my savings.
Take em.

Mass consumption,
Burn the bills.
Imbalance of wealth,

Mass corruption,
No big deal.
So unreal.

Take all my belongings.
Take all my money.
Take all my savings.
Take all my savings.

Mass consumption,
Burn the bills.
Burn, burn.

Mass consumption,
Burn the bills.

My belongings,
Uah.

8. F.A.Gov

They decide what you see
They decide what you know
Fake-news is the new shit
And you're running after it.

They decide what you think.
They decide what you believe.
Fictional bullshit.
And you're asking for it.

They decide what you see.
Decide what you know.
Decide what you believe.

They decide what you know.
Decide what you believe.
Subliminally or explicitly.

They gotta be kidding to put someone like him in this position.
Childish man with a bad hairdo and a dangerous mission.
Racist president.
Fake ass government.

Take time, think first, act wisely or shit gets worse.
Think fast, take them down.
All life's endangered
By this fake, fake ass government.

Can it get any worse?
He's a threat in the first place.
Tiny-hands and the alt-right.
And you're falling victim tonight.

Damn, will you ever wake up?
Will you see what the fuck
He's doing to not only your country but the
Whole fuckin' world.

They decide what you see.
Decide what you know.
Decide what you believe.

They gotta be kidding to put someone like him in this position.
Childish man with a bad hairdo and a dangerous mission.
Racist president.
Fake ass government.

Fuck the alt-right.
Fuck the alt-right.
Fuck the AFD.

9. Dollarhungry

Trouble has been meant to be.
There's a guarantee for tragedy.
Harder than it used to be.
Oh, when you're only having
Less than nothing.

Put it down and
Turn it over and
It's (still) not enough yet.
Drowning all your worries in liquor
Only makes you sicker
Yeah-eeh-yeah

They don't listen to your story man
And they don't want your company.
They cover up their wicked plan
To take your everything, they're honestly dollarhungry.
Dollarhungry.
Uh.

They don't listen to your story man
And they don't want your company.

Harder than it used to be.
But at least there is a guarantee
For every single dollar slippin'
Through the hole in your pocket
When you seemed to lock it down.

They don't listen to your story man
And they don't want your company.
Cover up their wicked plan
To take your everything, they're honestly dollarhungry.

Dollarhungry.

10. Slow And Low

[originally by Beastie Boys]

Let it flow, let yourself go,
Slow and low that is the tempo.
Let it flow, let yourself go,
Slow and low that is the tempo.

It's never old school, all brand new,
So everybody catch the bugaloo flu.
Not like a fever not like a cold.
All the beats are clear the rhymes are bold.
Don't see a doctor or see a nurse
Just listen to the music? First things first.
First of all get off the wall,
It's time to party so have a ball.
We slowed it on down so get the hell up.
Like a volcano I'll erupt.
We got determination, bass and highs
White Castle fries only come in one size
What you see is what you get
And you ain't seen nothing yet.

So let it flow - let yourself go,
Slow and low - that is the tempo.
Let it flow - let yourself go,
Slow and low - that is the tempo.
It's the tempo.

I do not sing but I make a Def song.
You could live your whole life and I hope you live long.
On the Gong Show we won't get gonged,
We're FOC not Cheech and Chong.
Strong as an ox fresh out the box.
The crowd is so live they're coming in flocks.
And when we go on the crowd goes off
It's all music, genres suck!

It's the tempo.
Strong as an ox!
