GOREFEST LYRICS

1. The Glorious Dead

Blood on your hands as you put them
Near the hole in your chest.
Where the bullet struck and threw you
Flat into the mud.
"Come on lads" the bastards soon will be defeated
God is on our side was what you heard
When all went black

For god and the country we raise our heads
All real heroes die the glorious dead

From this point of view it all looks very different
As you cough up blood and an intense cold
Runs up your spine
No one ever told you that it could be like this
Dehumanised, no respect for life, you want to cry

For god and the country we raise our heads
Or ideals that weren't yours the glorious dead

Misguidence was your undoing
Death stares you in the face
Memories, past times flash by
As they declare you dead

For god and the country you raised your head
Who remembers your name the glorious dead

2. State Of Mind

Other men's fear strengthens you
As you march the streets
With hatred in your eyes
With combat boots and battle dress
All for the cause, strict in line

"Our country for our people" is what you claim
But who are our people?
Who decides whether one is scum
Or a fine example of our god fearing society,
You maybe?

Well if you are our future
There will be no place for me
I despise your ideas
And your clenched fist doesn't impress me
I won't feel sorry for you
You chose what you wanted to be
But I hope I don't live to see that day
No, not for me

3. Get-A-Life

Destined to follow
Afraid to miss any trend
The TV is your truth
You just watch and absorb
Never in any doubt
About the message it spreads
You're locked in a mental cage
For the rest of your days

Get-A-Life, Get-A-Life

Your mind is polluted
With useless information
For a successful career
But you can't handle emotions
Only poor imitations
True intentions have faded
You're locked in a mental cage
For the rest of your days

Get-A-Life, Get-A-Life

Switch off those presets in your brain
Replace them with life
Just for once think for yourself
And get a life

Is it too hard to handle, to deal with that truth?
Is it too hard to handle, to live without rules?
You're locked in a mental cage
For the rest of your days

Get-A-Life, Get-A-Life

4. Mental Misery

What's happening to society?
Is personal gain the highest goal?
Is important in today's life no control of your life?
Mindless follower of rules
Be anonymous, step out of line
Consider other people as fools?

I see your face and it's a dead one
You fake emotions, enslaved by faith
Has society come to the point
Where no one bothers thinking
Enslavement of the mind

The lame among society
Do not have to learn
They walk the path of insanity
But they can't see
Their own mental misery
Your minds gets weaker
As your strength grows stronger

5. From Ignorance To Oblivion

Look the opposite way
If someone explains his intentions
Criticising is what you good
At already formed your opinion

Don't bother to understand
That people have different ideas
About the way they live their lives
Despising greed and enviousness

The standards you live up to
Are purely based on hatred
Towards other cultures and races
Mankind would be better off without you
Without you

From ignorance to oblivion

6. Reality - When You Die

The final chapter's finished
The curtain is about to fall
Ending mediocre life
Nothing to be proud of at all
Thinking back now
Despising yourself
Feelings oppressed
Always ready to bow
It wasn't real life
In fact just a play
From which, you the actor
Got fired today

Your final walk down the hallway
No applauding masses in here
Not even dead and already forgotten
Your mind is filling with fear
Never any grip on situations
Your "life" just passed you by
And all the sudden it becomes clear
And insanity takes over now

You're not going out with a bang
You won't have "your" day
Your no longer wanted in this dull play
It wasn't real life
Never came close in a way
Your contract is over
Your finished today

And then you die
Part of a generation
Whose minds are all polluted
By the habit of consumption
No need to get a life
Everything's been taken care of
Your back bone is attached to strings
In the puppetplay you're part of

No it wasn't real life
It never came close in a way
It's a shame you found out too late
Reality is when you die

7. Mass Insanity

Your mind is overtaken
By the ignorance of mankind
Stop thinking about your future
Just living for today
Living for today

But what's the point of your life
When you cannot think, just follow rules
When emotions are based on hatred
The truth upon lies

The downfall of humanity
Is caused by mass insanity
Neglecting of self consciousness
Leads to self-destruction

The killing of our environment
Means the end of our existence
You had your fun, your game to play
So it's only you who is to blame
It's only you who is to blame

The downfall of humanity
Is caused by mass insanity
Neglecting of self consciousness
Leads to self-destruction

You live in fear, it's now too late
Your future has been written
Your life will never be the same
Though it's only you who is to blame
It's only you who is to blame
