REQUIEM LYRICS

1. Can't Afford Won't Go Forward

Started with nothing and much we have seen
Simple music for this so called scene
Ten years of trying to go forward
No big push and none of reward

Ten fast years - here to stay
Music business
Times have changed
Rules are set
Cash whores - pledge
Ten long years - we have played
Music business
Times have changed
Played for free
Or let it be

Promoters complaining about cash
Filling pockets, bands earn less
Meaning of music has gone lost
How should ya know whom you can trust

Ten fast years - here to stay
Music business
Times have changed
Rules are set
Cash whores - pledge
Ten long years - we have played
Music business
Times have changed
Played for free
Or let it be

Can't afford to go forward
...to go forward
...to go forward
...to go forward
Can't afford to go forward

Bands are being used
Only few getting boost
Labels don't care
Unloyal - unfair

Fans blinded by media hype
Led like sheep (to) assorted kinds
Open your minds and care
Stay loyal and fair

Underground - we still pay
United - we will stay
Industry - still gets rich
Enemies - we're not finished

2. Premier Killing League

They are the premier killing league
Denial of justice for the weak
Their greed for power out of control
The final curtain the end unfolds

(They) don't care about human rights
Deciding about peoples life
Command in order to control
Barbaric dictators and warlords

It doesn't matter how they are called
Ruling for ages in the unprivileged world
Oppressing the masses and freedom of thought
Conscience opinion and the right to talk

Premier killing league...

Controlling media, press and TV
The right to live and equality
Some of them got their righteous sentence
Rulers struck by people's vengeance

Premier killing league...

Responsible for a million deaths
Taking people's last breath
Spreading fear through civil war
No justice before the controlled law

Receiving weapons from the west
First world factories do their best
Selling tanks and deadly guns
Account enrichement keep wars run

When will it come to an end
Ages of misery for many lands
The reason for this inhumanity
Is inside worlds economic policy

Premier killing league...
Premier killing league...
Premier killing league...

3. Isolated

Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled
Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled
Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled
Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled

Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled
Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled
Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled
Isolated through my own will
Silence finally fulfilled

I feel the weight of the world on my back
Present, past and future - I only see red
Without rest my final conclusion
To vanish from this real illusion

Dreams of hope attending my life
Freedom of mind rush now declines
Objecting the question for my situation
Respecting the answer, my final destination

Leave me alone - stop expecting
Leave me alone - emotions rejecting

Isolation - determination...

Leave me alone - stop expecting
Leave me alone - emotions rejecting

Isolation - determination...
Isolation - determination...

Leave me alone - stop expecting
Leave me alone - emotions rejecting

4. No Means Nothing

You always play the victim
Now I see behind your lies
I'd rather turn around
Cause you're wasting my time

Declining relation
Contorted perception
Low life person
With manic delusions

I can't accept your lies
No longer stand by your side
You drained life out of me
Live in your own misery

Declining relation
Contorted perception
Low life person
With manic delusions

No means nothing...
No means nothing for you - face the facts we're through
No means nothing...
No means nothing for you - face the facts we're through
No means nothing...
No means nothing for you - face the facts we're through
No means nothing...

Who do you think you are
With your low self-esteem
No is not an option
Repressing your chasing dreams
Who do you think you are
With your low self-esteem
No is not an option
Repressing your chasing dreams

Who do you think you are
With your low self-esteem
No is not an option
Repressing your chasing dreams
Who do you think you are
With your low self-esteem
No is not an option
Repressing your chasing dreams

Escaping psychic deconstruction
Ceasing talking interruption
Declining relation
Intended desolation

You drained life out of me
Live in your own misery
I was too blind to see
That you're only using me

No means nothing...
No means nothing for you - face the facts we're through
No means nothing...
No means nothing for you - face the facts we're through
No means nothing...
No means nothing for you - face the facts we're through
No means nothing...
No means nothing for you - face the facts we're through

5. From Ashes To Ashes

Travelling the road of time
Existence the meaning of life
From ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Resting in peace, eternal and just

Born with nothing and nothing we'll be
Simple creatures - so called human breed
From birth to death our path is short
Unfulfilled hopes in the last resort

Travelling the road of time
Existence the meaning of life
From ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Resting in peace, eternal and just

From nothing to nothing
From dust to dust
From ashes to ashes
Eternal and just

From nothing we came - naked and poor
The end predicted and assured
Using time in senseless ways
What's right or wrong - only shades of grey...
Shades of grey...

Travelling the road of time
Existence the meaning of life
From ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Resting in peace, eternal and just

Cultures, creations come and go
Ain't built to last for those who know
Dust to dust, eternal and just
Dust to dust, eternal and just

Final remains - just an illusion
Mankinds dreams vanish in conclusion

Do we ever seize what it means
Living on the edge catching for dreams
A short vacation existing with
Until receiving the reapers kiss

6. I, Terrorist

Terrorist...

Terror, terror everywhere
The world has gone insane
Terror, terror is all I see
Who's the one to blame
Wolves in sheep's clothing
Living door to door
Media makes us believe
To distrust your neighbours anymore

Who's the terror, who's the hate
Where's justice, where's faith

Terror, terror everywhere
The world has gone insane
Terror, terror is all I see
Who's the one to blame
Wolves in sheep's clothing
Living door to door
Media makes us believe
To distrust your neighbours anymore

Who's the terror, who's the hate
Where's justice, where's faith
Who's the terror, who's the hate
Where's justice, where's faith

Airport security pushed to the max
Dangers and threats are now known facts

Am I terror - I, terrorist
Am I terror - I, terrorist
Am I terror - I, terrorist
Am I terror - I, terrorist
Terror, terror...

Am I terror or am I peace
Can't believe in what I see
Can't believe in what I hear
All around me they're speaking of fear
Am I terror or am I peace
Can't believe in what I see
Can't believe in what I hear
All around me they're speaking of fear

Eyes gone blind by TV raid
Who tells the truth
Or who's speaking with
Unreflected hate
War on terror everywhere
Who's the one to blame
And where's the real evil
Knowing their names

Eyes gone blind by TV raid
Who tells the truth
Or who's speaking with
Unreflected hate
War on terror everywhere
Who's the one to blame
And where's the real evil
Knowing their names

Who's the terror, who's the hate
Where's justice, where's faith

Terror, hate, justice, faith...

7. The System Has Failed

Poverty upon this world
The system has failed
Wars on profit, TV crimes
The system has failed
Epidemic diseases
The system has failed
Average unemployment
The system has failed
Nature strikes back
The system has failed
Exploiting nature
The system has failed
Daily air pollution
The system has failed
Greenhouse effect goes on
The system has failed

Child abuse increases
The system has failed
Violence unrestrained
The system has failed
Drug addictions
The system has failed
Stress related overdose
The system has failed

System has failed, system has failed

So why do we look away
And accept the system how it is
Why do you look away
And go numb another day

System has failed

So why don't we fight against
That system that has failed
Why don't you vote against
And try to get a change... a change

Right wing (politics) grows strong
The system has failed
Society's blind
The system has failed
Once said: never again
Nothing's learned, nothing's done
The system has failed

[This song is dedicated to Jesse Pintado. Rest in peace and thanks for all...]

8. Into The Unknown

Into the unknown
Through mist and rain they roam
Surrending leads to certain death
Onwards into unknown threat

The sound of tank tracks cut the silence
Enemy forces under hidden surveillance
Obeying commands from dusk 'til dawn
Faithless expectations, this mission is forlorn

Into the unknown
Through mist and rain they roam
Surrending leads to certain death
Onwards into unknown threat

Seconds seem like minutes
Minutes feel like days
Paralyzed through bombing rain
Massive force prevails
Dreams have gone away
Nightmares everyday
Face to face with destiny
To be next in killing spree

To be next in killing spree
Killing Spree...
Killing Spree...

Scattered remains cover the ground
Attended by human screaming sounds
All thoughts of hope no final chance
There's no mercy by the enemy advance

When will it end, where is silence
There's no light no thought of defiance
This battle is longtime history
Only remembrance eternally

Into the unknown
Through mist and rain they roam
Surrending leads to certain death
Onwards into unknown threat

9. The Great Masquerade

The great masquerade, the great masquerade...

2000 years of lies and misery
In the name of god and Christianity
Exploiting people's blind faith
Using their trust for worldly aims

Invading countries in the name of Christ
Innocent people - heathen victims died
Centuries of wars to make them pliable
Faithless acts through history undeniable

Denying the deeds of the holy church
Hatred and pain hundreds of years worth
Where's their so called honesty
Most of times - warmongers insanity

The great masquerade, the great masquerade...

Admit, all of what you have done
In the name of your holy son
Stop preaching about new born trust
Institutional faith never will be just

Admit, all of what you have done
In the name of your holy son
Stop preaching about new born trust
Institutional faith never will be just
Admit, all of what you have done
In the name of your holy son
Stop preaching about new born trust
Institutional faith never will be just

Denying - inquisition
Denying - oppression
Denying - forced conversion
Denying - facts emerging

Behind their holy bureaucracy
Never admitting their insane deeds
Believing in greed - deep faith trance
Acting against the ten commandments

10. Trapped Inside

Hiding inside, hiding outside
Who am I and of what kind
Questions, answers surely locked
Keeping secrets my inner god

Within I hide - no one to defy
Within I hide - no one to defy... trapped inside

Tried to run, tried to walk
Who is the, one who talks
Answers, questions thinking for
Hidden secrets forever more

Within I hide - no one to defy
Within I hide - no one to defy... trapped inside

Flooding emotions
Can't shut them out
Inside struggle
Will bring me down

Based on data
Weird cerebral code
Flickering life signs
Current stand by mode

Trapped inside...

Based on data
Weird cerebral code
Flickering life signs
Current stand by mode

Trapped inside...

Alone with me, reflecting spree
Thoughts turn to anguish
Flattering cerebral language

Within I hide - no one to defy
Within I hide - no one to defy... trapped inside

All that remains
Within I hide
Physical decay
Trapped inside
