1. Epicyte / Parasite
Expired morality
Rising to shine in plenitude
Violence of constitution
Approved by a few
Prophets of salvation
Decimate the unborn
Undercover benevolence
Vaccinate the future voice
Loathsome plans built on smiles
Of early dreamers
Hypocrites condemn us all
Punishing the sinners
Kneel or crawl
The venom will numb
Misbegotten plans
Gestate in the womb of the devil
Lack of empathy
Betrayed by those once feared
Corrupted and abandoned
To the mercy of the system
No saviors, no icons, no leaders
Peace is a pantomime
A ticking bomb,
Deadly rising tide
Sewn lips, shut eyes
Nothing around is real
Mostly its a false flag
To profit a minority
Summoning the storm
Knell sounds loud and clear
The bells of the third Reich
Had “the union” melodies.
2. Sentenced
Misconception of thoughts
Collide confronting
A new vision of colors
Onwards on the same page
Where no one understands
A single letter
Taking a stance on unwritten
Statements of power
Denying sworn promises
Unrelated circumstances
Bow down, the enemy has grown.
Retrieve the rights we never got.
Oppressed or oppressor
Doesn’t matter anymore
Judge right or wrong
Same side of the horrors
Narrow minded houses
Once peaceful now divided
By pre-made words
Seen on television
You are a number
You are a code
You are a sheep
We are the flock
No matter who holds the scepter
No matter who is above.
Nothing was designed
To benefit everyone
Well they need the poor
And disagreement to rule
Condemned to this fate
Left to our own luck.
3. Thousand Generations
Irrational and cynic
Stands this paradox
From the beginning humiliated
But the contrary told
Altruistic hands
Choking us slow
While the hand-shake
And the smiles are the only things shown
Pages are stained in blood
By the so called liberators
These are the foundations.
Of the fathers of your nations
No approach is peaceful,
Retaliation against the crown
Oh!
Forgotten genocides
Never made it through history
No propaganda of widows
Mourning man and kids
A candle dies
For every victim
One more name is gone
Thousand generations of wars
Pages are stained in blood
By the so called liberators
These are the foundations
Of the fathers of your nations
No approach is peaceful,
Retaliation against the crown.
We’re alone
In a devastated land
Piles of ancestor lies
Beneath our feet,
No veil is enough
To conceal this
Pestiferous reek
Lives based on lies
So the hoax
Will perpetuate crime
4. Homo-Consumens
Obey the established
Born, consume and breed
Chained to a lifelong mortgage
Satisfy your material needs
Wish what you can’t have
And don’t need
Only to seem superior
To climb up the hierarchy
Null individuality
Stand out pretending to be…
Believe in a god or not
Born, consume and die
Aware of this cage
We live in
One more day
To avoid reality
Patterns were given
Take what you need
Shepherd of the system
For empty fulfillment
Living ostentation
How miserable do you feel?
Show thy life above
Your capacity.
Debt.
"Modern society creates a type of man whom I have earlier called the homo consumens -- the consumer man whose main interest becomes, aside from working from nine to five, to consume”.
[Erich Fromm]
5. Hegelian Dialectic
[thesis]
Chaos reigns
Above the heads
Of servants
Illuminated
By flawless
Misery of the icons
Aloft the skies
Witness the downfall
Of the days we’ve known
Internal secrecy
On the mist
Of traitors (traitors)
[antithesis]
Spawn the disease
Among plebeians
To retain
Humanity growth
Dreadful shades hide
On the bright side
Of worthy ideals
[synthesis]
Useless stomachs
Into the moat
Consent, needed no more,
Surrender identity
Embrace the new world.
Want it or not.
6. Cadavers On Parade
Subjugate through power
Given by the state
Defend standards
Can’t understand
Moral violation
Nothing to protect
Shame of trade
Burn you away
7. Hoax
8. Anthropocentric Selfishness
You think you own this land
Cause you are a mammal
Who developed more
Than the others around
Covered your parts,
With an exploited carcass
And ruled above men
Enslaving everyone else
The ecosystem failure
Caused by your greedy nature
Shall consume your fossil fuels
And see the massacre
The true disaster
Mass killing murder
Capacity of production
For the sake of consumption
Never ending story
Of a species full of glory
Yesterday as today
Nothing will ever change
We wrote in stone
The way we want our end
This goes on
Full speed beyond
It’s time to confront the cancer
Which is humanity itself
9. Iscariote
Nailed to the cross
That points up to the sky
Crucifixion of ideals
Rot slowly and dies
A mere attempt
To obtain the demands
Whilst the dismal
Burns from inside
Sore feelings
Of those seeking life
Guilty of all pleasures
Hide in their lies
Deny it
two more times
Thirty silver coins
Sold convictions
Eradicated heart
Bigotry biased
No one else left behind
Sore feelings
Of those seeking life
Last of a breed
Everyone has a price
10. Neo Luddite
Condoned casualties
Served to feed
The engine that keeps
You warm at home
Bipolarization leading
To the exhaustion and famine
Of the hands producing goods
Industrialization is a curse
As predicted by Captain Ludd.
11. Ruthless Conspiracy
12. Bohemian Grove
Unrecognizable
Stands the man
Behind the lectern
Whose distorted appearance
Turns inside out
Stubborn demagogy
Seduces eyes like a spell
Death incantation,
A sentence to the night
As a part of the rite
Refused to deny
The atrocities,
Grim portent
In a dim light
Thirty-three steps
An imminent impact
Begotten son
Of the pharaoh
Inherits the throne,
Chants of brothers
Fire burning bright
Casting shadow
On the unlight
Following orders
In Moloch’s commands
“Lift up your heads
Oh ye trees
And be ye lifted up
By everlasting spires
Here is bohemian shrine
And holy are
The pillars of this house
Touch their world-blind
Eyes with carrion…
As vanished Babylon
His body/ has being brought
Yonder to our funeral pyre
To the joyous pipings
Of a funeral march”.
13. Intrincated Scapegoat
Searching for a common enemy
Against whom we can unite,
Came up with the idea of pollution,
Global warming, famine and the like…
In their totality and interactions
These phenomena do constitute
A common threat
Designating these dangers
As the enemy,
We fall into a trap
All these dangers
Are caused by humans
In natural processes,
It’s only through changed attitudes
And behavior that can be overcome.
Advanced forms of biological warfare
Of terror is the weapon they use
The real enemy then is
The ploy of finding a scapegoat
As old as mankind itself –
When things become too difficult,
The blame will always be on you.
[Adapted from The Club of Rome – The First Global Revolution]
14. Inexorable Malignancy
Imprint with shame
The trace we leave
Foreseen events of
The omen of creed
Desecrated image
Our purest gift
Save us from perdition
Grant shelter
To those after me
Repentance, now it’s too late
Maintain equal balance
Between nature and men
Chastise upon us
Feast on the holy flesh
Bleak halo, dark, unclear
Martyrdom of the weak.
Mesmerizing achievements
As the deluge couldn’t with thee
Standing on the 7th seal
The countdown will reveal
Fools the penance is here
Fools perished shall be
Soldiers and knights
On bent knees
Awaiting the demise
*Thus heaven I’ve forfeited,
I know it too well.
My soul, once true to god,
Is now chosen for hell. *
[* Adapted from The Pale Maiden by Karl Marx]
