INVICTUS LYRICS

1. Face To Face Part I

Face to face, war in my eyes
Not for oil, to save my skin
Face to face, face the truth
One: you win, two: I lose
I can implore, implore your name
Poison's running in my veins

Face to face, absurd illusion
Scarcely born, your mind is lost
Fight the face of your terror
Fight the face of your nightmares
I can implore, implore your name
Poison's running in my veins

Fight, welcome to my Hell
And just one more face in the crowd
Look at you
With a bitter heart
I wonder: is life a fight?
Is death the final victory?
Victory, my victory...

Face to face, war in my eyes
Not for oil, to save my skin
I remember the pain in your eyes
Face to face. Face the truth
One: you win, two: I lose
Remember it's a fixed fight
I can implore, implore your name
In my veins

Face to face, absurd illusion
Scarcely born, already lost
Your destiny is gnawing your mind
Fight the face of your terror
Fight the face of your nightmares
Can't you see this is the answer
I can implore, implore your name
Poison's in my veins

Welcome to my Hell
Just one more face in the crowd
Look at you
With a bitter heart
I wonder: is life a fight?
Is death the final victory?
Victory
Just one more face
Face in the crowd
Welcome to my Hell
Just one more face in the crowd
Look at you look at me
With a bitter heart
It's bitter life to fight
And I don't wanna fight
The final victory
My victory.

2. Kill The Dogs

Engraving circles with my feet
These cuts display the way they treat me
Nothing can stop my running
Down into the concrete.... I flee
I can't feel their baton blows
The pain is in my head
(I'm the black ship of society)

I plunge my nails into the stone
I count the days with drops of blood
Nothing can stop my running
Only clutching clouds of smoke... I flee

I can't feel their baton blows
The pain is in my head
Can't feel the burning cold steel
Blood flowing in my veins

Killed the dogs
But they say I am not human
Shame on them
I don't know why
Why they treat me like a dust
I wonder why
They killed the dogs
But they say I am not human
They call them dogs
They treat me like a dust
They killed the dogs
I can feel their batons beating
In my head
They call them dogs
I can feel their blood
And poison in my veins

[Chorus:]
Killed the dogs, killed the dogs
But they say I am not human
Killed the dogs, killed the dogs
But they say they've done no crime

Engraving circles with my feet
These cuts display the way they treat me
Nothing can stop my running
Down into the concrete.... I flee
I can't feel their baton blows
The pain is in my...

[Chorus]

3. Silence Of Death

Some bang their heads against the walls
I'm far away
Screws bang their batons on the bars
I try to turn my mind a blank

This presence already inside me
I reach a place they'll never find
I'm gripped inside with anger
Silence is my only friend

You are my only....

I see a distant skyline
Of a place I'll never be
The great escape I dream of
I'll find it in the chair

Danger, Anger,
Black and Devil

[Chorus:]
I can feel it inside me
I can feel a taste of death
I can feel it inside me
I can feel I'm going mad

My days will not be ended
By lowly suicide
They treat me like a monster
But I keep my secret pride

Anger, anger
Black and Devil

[Chorus]

I see a distant skyline
Of a place I'll never be
The great escape
I dream of
I'll find it in the chair [x4]

[Chorus]

4. Agony Of War

Silence...
Do you know why?
They killed the dogs
They called them dogs
Killed the dogs
But they say I'm not human
Shame on them
I don't know why
They treat me like a dust
Dust of man
I remember
I can feel their batons beating in my head
Sometimes when I'm lonely
I can feel their blood in my veins *
Killed the dogs
But they say...
Killed the dogs
But they try...
They killed the dogs
Please tell me more
I wonder why
Please tell me why
I sometimes hear
Bombs exploding loudly... in my head
I can see
In your tired eyes
Like a leaf of fear, no more tears...

[* Harry S. Truman, 33rd president.
Truman issued this warning to Japan urging surrender in a radio address to the American people on August 9, 1945.]

"The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base.
We won the race of discovery against the Germans.
We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans.
We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war."

5. Spiral

Drug
The message
The last I wanna send into my blood
Into my arms
Through my veins
You are, I am yours
This sand, Angel dust
The waves of a haunted life
There's no way out for me
The sun, burning my heart
My head is made of black stone
And I just cannot feel you anymore

[Chorus:]
God, pain and me
Are so strange
God, pain and me
Like strangers

Your eyes, open your heart
Enjoy this tragedy
What would you give for me?
Oh... time, I give you my mind
I sell my soul to you now
My never ending hope to stay alive

[Chorus]

6. Face To Face Part II

[Instrumental]

7. Face To Face Part III

Is death the final victory
I can implore
Implore your name

Face to face
War in my eyes
One you win
And two I loose

Is death the final victory
My victory

I can implore
Implore your name
Poison's running
in my veins

Is death the final victory
My victory

8. The Eclipse Of The World

It's a time of dark sadness
See the world is mad
How God could bless us now
So many are starving
The world came in the night
Entered the night of times
No more place for dreams
Killing for a dose
Men became worse than animals
Easier to win wars
Than to fight for peace

[Chorus:]
Open your eyes to the eclipse of the world
In the sea of lost reason
Can't you feel what we've already achieved
The point of no return?
The burning of the world
It's so real, it's so real

It's a time of dark sadness
See the world is mad
How God could bless us now
So many are starving
The world came in the night
Entered the night of times
No more place for dreams
Killing for a dose
Men became
Worse than animals
Easier to win wars
Than to fight for peace

[Chorus]

9. See You Black

I will be more like a tiger
My instinct is my way to survive
The music of sex running into my head
So long ago... all those bodies
It was the taste of liberty
Freedom and justice for all

If you've got the power and money
You will be the king
Of their whole world
So you can crush parasites
Smile and you're really respected
This is your vision of pleasure
Slaves imploring their god

[Chorus:]
See you back in Hell
I promise you one thing now
See you back in Hell
I promise you one thing now
Now it's your time
Now in the flames
Now in your eyes, you don't now
In the flames
Fear's your worst enemy
In the flames
In my eyes you'll discover
Inside me, the Devil inside me
You cry and you scream
Face the Devil inside me
The Devil inside me
You cry and you scream
Face the Devil inside me

When you're buried six feet under
You wont have any more power
Me and you, just face to face
In that place
I'm the master of time and space
You will discover my secret
See all the monster can secrete

[Chorus]

10. Demons

I was born about forty years ago
Out of the blue under a red hot scorching sun
The labyrinth of an ordinary life
So dumb I am the guardian of the jail
Day after day, night after nightmare

All my friends know they are under my control
This cigarette is not the last one I will smoke
This chair is not the place where I will die
I will wake up with a beating heart

[Chorus:]
So many Demons
And they're living in my mind
Demons and they're preying on my brain
So many Demons
And they're ruining my life
Demons, they're driving me insane
Forever. You feel in my mind [x2]

Every body has a dark secret to hide
Once upon a crime
In the black heart of my past
Everybody wants to heal their scars of sorrow
I want a better world for my children
The demons from the depth of my soul
Burn my heart and my mind

[Chorus (x2):]
Demons, they're driving me insane
In the moonlight
where you are
they're living in my mind
You're eating me alive
You're killing me inside
Can I get away

11. Rosy Rose

The only dust of light
In this tunnel of my life
A tiny handful of love
In this river... of nightmares
Hands up to the sky
Screaming my bitterness
You don't hear me where you are, you are...
Life's not easy, it's not easy, without you
Life's not easy, it's not easy
Better for me to die

[Chorus:]
Save me [x3]
kill me [x2]

You were the only one who told me:
"Yes I know!"
I fell into your eyes, then I grew
I could only stand by you, & my gun
Life's not easy, it's not easy, without you

[Chorus]

like a red rose growing in... the wilderness
The sun after the rain, my last hope
It's burned up with your soul
Oh my dear!
Life's not easy, it's not easy, without you
