LALU LYRICS

1. Greed

Here we are
The summit of creation
We are here to stay
While other kind must fade

Don't blame us now
It's natural selection
We hold the crown
The fittest will outlast

[Guitar solo: Marco Sfogli]

Economy
Is blooming like a bad weed
We are so well
You ought to love our grace

Industry
Our new and proven idol
Epiphany
We are here to rule the world

Kingdom of lies bound to expire
The die is not yet cast but you wear blinders
Open your eyes and break the cycle
Malicious greed has led us to nothing at all

[Guitar solo: Marco Sfogli]

Don't blame us now
It's natural selection
We hold the crown
The fittest will outlast

Epiphany
We are here to rule and we are here to stay
We are so well
You ought to love our race

Kingdom of lies bound to expire
The die is not yet cast but you wear blinders
Open your eyes and break the cycle
Malicious greed has led us to nothing at all

[Guitar solo: Simone Mularoni]
[Keyboard solos: Jens Johansson, Vivien Lalu]
[Guitar solo: Marco Sfogli]

2. War On Animals

[Mike Andersson:]
Isolated into a lab
Electrodes sticking to my brain
I am analyzed

[Martin LeMar:]
They insert poison in my skin
Is this for real
They trigger cancer in my cells
Will I survive

[Martin & Mike:]
No more killing - no more testing - no more pain
Let's end this war on animals
No more suffering - no more dying - no more chains
Let's end this war on life
Let's end this war on animals

[Mike Andersson:]
Mutilated into a cage
So many tumors in my brain
I am paralyzed

[Martin LeMar:]
They force viruses in my veins
What have I done
They say they must find a cure
For human race

[Martin & Mike:]
No more killing - no more testing - no more pain
Let's end this war on animals
No more suffering - no more dying - no more chains
Let's end this war on life
Let's end this war on animals

[Mike:]
No more killing - no more pain

[Martin:]
Will they pay for their deeds
After this war they lead?

3. Tatonka

A last song to the moon
Honoring my ancestors
I am the last one of my tribe
See what they have done to us

You turned aside the veil of anger
Let me remain in self control
Not to give back as we were given
And you've let me stand tall

I respected life
Without ignorance in my own heart
Spoken only truth
And never killed another man

Now help me face the fear I feel
Let me keep up self control
Because I am your last warrior
But now my time has come
Lead me home tonight

Unequa
Great spirit
Guide me home tonight
Unequa
Great spirit
It's a good night to die

I see the horses ride beneath
The bird above - they're greeting me
I hear my brothers howl my name

Farewell to the moon and sun
The Earth - the wind - the stars
And all the sacred things I have to leave behind

When I'm gone you'll hear me sing
My song's still carried by the wind
Remember me when you hear its melody

That's how I survive...

4. Mirror Prison

The water is calm
Her mirror is soiled
The beat of her heavy heart
Echoes in the void
Almost unheard

She's not alone
But love slowly fades
A perfect surrounding
She got all that she needs
So why should it change
Why take a risk for the unknown
That lies far in the world behind the mirrors

With every day that's passing by
She sacrifices her dreams of the world
Behind the glass.

5. Deep Blue

Drowning in the deep that surrounds me
While I slowly go down - alight
On the ground of the sea

I lie awake
Down in my haven
From a coral reef
Gently entwined

Silver light
Is breaking through the surface
Enchants the world
And makes me smile

I swim with the whales
To the shores of your world
I listen to your songs
And behold you from a distance
At night I'll lay a starfish
Down at your feet
To bear remembrance that I am
Down in the deep blue sea

I am the salmons in the bay
The darkness in the Mariana Trench
I am the Kraken in the deep
The beginning of the tides
The source of life

I swim with the whales
To the shores of your world
I listen to your songs
And behold you from a distance
At night I'll lay a starfish
Down at your feet
To bear remembrance that I am
I am the sea

[Guitar solo: Simone Mularoni]

Drowning in the deep that surrounds me
While I slowly go down - alight
On the ground of the sea.

6. Bast

She spoke to me
With a youthful frisky fire in her eyes
If I'd despair
With pleasure she would be my guide
I long for her hand
And wish she would lead me into further spheres

Like a king
She shall protect me till the day I die
And all too willingly
To her I abandon myself

See her eyes
Reflect the sun even in the darkest night
Sending a shiver down my spine
See her grace
When – swaying – she is coming next to me
I want to drink wisdom from her lips

And soil her grace
With lust
Bast
I belong you

See her skin
Silken perfection from head to toe
And her body is screaming for sin
I take her hand
And let her lead me to further spheres

And soil her grace
With lust
Bast
I love you so

Divine feline
The magic only worked by womankind
And all too willingly
To them we abandon ourselves

[Guitar solo: Simone Mularoni]

And soil her grace
With lust
Bast!

7. Momento

Day by day I see you with that sad look on your face
It is almost unbearable 'cause with your smile you also lost your grace

Your mirror – soiled
The water – calm
A heart beats in the void
And with every day that's passing by
Another dream will die

Embrace every moment you got
Love every breath that you take
With all your heart
With all your mind

[Keyboard solo: Jens Johansson]

I can't help you anymore 'cause we go on separate ways
You don't have to love me but you ought to love yourself
I can still remember your beauty in those days
Your heart was light – please don't imprison your mind
Everything is alright

Embrace every moment you got
Love every breath that you take
With all your heart
With all your mind.

[Drum solo: Virgil Donati]

8. Follow The Line

Running in circles
The trail is broken
No pheromone
Where should we go
What should we do
Moving forward
Looking for signs
Marking the path
Exploring new ways
To overcome this obstacle

For million years
We have ruled this world
Even time can't stop us
Together we'll survive

Oh – we follow the line
Oh – we must follow the line

[Keyboard solo: Jens Johansson]

Collective brain
Eyes in an eye
Warrior or slave
We are equal
We are one
Defend the nest
Protect the young
Breed with the queen
And make another thousand sons

We colonized every landmass of Earth
We're here to stay
We will last for evermore

Follow the line...

[Nylon guitar: Joop Wolters]
[Keyboard solo: Jens Johansson]

9. Slaughtered

Forced to move
To be a part of the line
Naked and your eyes full of fear
I see you – I hit you – make you move how I want
Don't you dare to try and fight back
You had been drugged but you are very aware
Of the meat hooks I force through your skin
The pain makes you faint but I will keep you awake
We are far from over my friend

It's like a not ending gruesome nightmare
But all this is real and true
Bathed in blood and gore you try to scream as
Consciousness is leaving you

Head over heels
I'll cut your throat with a knife
Your life is streaming down to the ground
While you're still breathing I'm removing your skin
Slicing – cutting – tear you apart

It's like a not ending gruesome nightmare
But all this is real and true
Bathed in blood and gore you try to scream as
Consciousness is leaving you

Cut – packed and shipped
You go to different places of the world
They gonna love you medium rare!

[Piano: Jordan Rudess]

10. Revelations

[Part I – Storm]

[Instrumental by Viv Lalu & Jordan Rudess]

[Piano: Jordan Rudess]

[Part II – Haunted Memories]

The summer's breeze is stroking me
While I'm on my outpost
Without a sound or slightest move
In camouflage among the bushes

I'm waiting for the night to fall
Until then I behold and watch you through my scope
Holding back the urge to pull the trigger now
That would be over much too fast
Way too easy

I know you were a part of me
On the path of my past
You gave me home
You were father to me
I still know
I remember
I know I lost a part of me
On the path of my past
By the things that I've done
And the things I have seen
What I saw
And still remember

You gave me hope but in the end you let me fall
There's no other reason but of money after all
Have you ever felt what I felt – was everything a lie
Thus far we came – now look at us
Tooth for tooth
Eye for an eye

I am waiting for the night to fall
Until then I behold and watch you through my scope
Holding back the urge to pull the trigger now
That would be over much too fast
Way too easy

I know I lost a part of me
On the path of my past
By the things that I've done
And the things I have seen
What I saw and still remember

You gave me hope but in the end you let me fall
There's no other reason but of money after all
Have you ever felt what I felt – was everything a lie
Thus far we came – now look at us
Tooth for tooth
Eye for an eye

You sacrificed my life for greed
On the path in the dark
I am risk for your fame
With the things I have seen
What I saw and still remember

It's been a while since you left me back for dead
But here I am – I'm still alive and I will not forget
I made a vow to myself
What to do if I survive
There's no other option anymore
Than fulfillment

[Part III – The Big Hunt]

The outer wall was unsecured
And too easy to overcome
I cut lose all the trip-wire
Without the slightest sound
First the outer cameras
Then the whole system is shutting down
And when the light goes out completely
You are sure that I'm around

Step by step
I came closer now
And there is nothing you can do
Unnecessary to convince you
Of the things I'm able to
I was a loaded gun in your locker
The assassin you have groomed
This is what you trained me for
Now I'm here to hunt for you

Oh – where are you now
Oh – you're trying to hide

Before the rays of the morning sun
I'm gonna end your trial of pain
And neither money or your promises
Will finally save you from my wrath
I'm the product of your efforts
The nemesis you made yourself
My eyes been shut for much too long
Now I am awake

Where are you now
Are you afraid
Face your fate
Where are you now
Are you afraid
Just be a man
Face your fate

You know it's true
I gonna get you
I'm here – I gonna get you

[Guitar solo: Joop Wolters]

I am not like you
I won't give in to the anger I felt
You'll survive to dismantle all your lies

[Part IV – Sick of Your Lies]

We are on air now – make an effort
Give the camera a smile
Don't fuss my friend
You are alive
You will survive to dismantle your lies

Talk – talk – keep talking for your life
And don't be scared to tell the truth
We want to hear about the cruelties
You did in search for wealth
[Repeat]

Mission completed
You are alone – no one left to beguile
The message is seeded
The world now will know
We are sick of your lies

Talk – talk – keep talking for your life
And don't be scared to tell the truth
We want to hear about the cruelties
You did in search for wealth
[Repeat]

Mission completed
You are alone – no one left to beguile
The message is seeded
The world now will know
We are sick of your lies

We are on air now – make an effort – give the camera a smile
Don't fuss my friend
You are alive
We are sick of your lies

Talk – talk – keep talking for your life
And don't be scared to tell the truth
We want to hear about the cruelties
You did in search for wealth
[Repeat]

[Part V – Call to Arms]

So – what now
The first one is gone
He got his ticket to jail
But there are others around
There is so much to do
In this snake pit of lies
And now I feel that the seed
Is growing fast in my mind

I know that you're out there
You are knowing – and see
Feel like looking in the mirror
When you hear about me
A cry
A vow
An offer of indulgence
Just take the matters in your hands
And stand up now to follow me

Oh – can you hear my call to arms
We will pay them back what they began

I know that you're out there
You are knowing – and see
Feel like looking in the mirror
When you hear about me
A cry
A vow
An offer of indulgence
Just take the matters in your hands
And stand up now to follow me

I know you are many
We are anon and free
No need for violence
We are better than them
We shall rise
We shall stand
Against the empire of lies
Your eyes been shut for much too long
Now you shall awake

Oh – can you hear my call to arms
We will pay them back what they began

[Guitar solo: Joop Wolters]

Kingdom of lies bound to expire
The die is not yet cast
Open your eyes
And break the cycle.
