THE MERCURY ARC LYRICS

1. Collision Course

Clench your fist, pick a fight, no one's gonna swerve.
Wall of death, choose your side, do you have the nerve?
Do you stand tall when heads collide?
Once and for all when worlds collide?
You're bound to fall when we collide!
It's too late to argue. This is the rule of force!
Collision 'cause we won't back down!
Collision 'cause we won't duck out!
Collision 'cause we'll crash and burn!
Mutual assured destruction!
COLLISION COURSE ! [x3]
We won't back down!
Hold your breath, open your eyes, no one's gonna swerve.
Stand your ground, downfall / arise, do you have the nerve?
NO, YOU DON'T!
Stand your ground when heads collide?
Round by round when worlds collide?
You're getting owned when we collide!
It's too late to argue. This is the rule of force!
Collision 'cause we won't back down!
Collision 'cause we won't duck out!
Collision 'cause we'll crash and burn!
Mutual assured destruction!
COLLISION COURSE ! [x3]
You're all I NEVER wanted, you're all I NEVER needed,
So tell me what to do (now), when I want you DEAD !!! [2x]
Collision 'cause we won't back down!
Collision 'cause we won't duck out!
Collision 'cause we'll crash and burn!
Mutual assured destruction! FUCK!

2. Evil Echo

[feat. 1EON]

It's the ARC, it's the MERCURY ARC [x4]
It's like an evil echo, like an evil echo, like an evil echo I ignored.
It's like a mental disease, like a mental disease, like a mental disease that can't be cured.
I lost all innocence, inside me grows the seed (of madness).
This whole thing makes no sense, for weeks I couldn't sleep (can't stop this).
8-7, 6-6-6 is a bitch, 5-4-3-2-1 tells you to draw the gun.
8-7, 6-6-6 is a bitch, 5-4-3-2-1 tells you to kill.
It's like a mirror image (OF) like a mirror image (ME) like a mirror image of me crawling.
It's like a twisted vision (OF) like a twisted vision (ME) like a twisted vision of me falling.
Come and get it! Oh yeah!
A thousand voices in my head that grew so strong, they keep accusing me for all the times I was wrong.
It's like a sinister glance (OF) like a sinister glance (ME) like a sinister glance of me crawling.
It's like a deadly omen (OF) like a deadly omen (ME) like a deadly omen of me falling.
Where am I gonna run, when what I'm fighting for (starts to fight me)?
Common sense comes undone, my demons call for war.
8-7, 6-6-6 is a bitch, 5-4-3-2-1 tells you to draw the gun.
8-7, 6-6-6 is a bitch, 5-4-3-2-1 tells you to kill.
A thousand voices in my head that grew so strong, they keep accusing me for all the times I was wrong.
It's the ARC, it's the MERCURY ARC! Hands up! [x4]
Ohh... What up you clowns?
1EON ripping the spine out your motherfucking backs like that! Yo!
Put your ears to the streets! Bring it on!
One, two, listen... Bitch pull the trigger, I know what is best for you.
Who the fuck you think you are, you pussy? I was the one feeding you!
I kept you alive even though your souls was bleeding bad.
At least there was a someone putting thoughts into your head.
You are worthless, you're a coward, you are nothing and you know, everything you have left is this evil echo ... echo.
That is me, that is you. Better do what you're told to!
The worst that can ever happen is that I am leaving you in silence, calm like a coma!
8-7, 6-6-6 is a bitch, 5-4-3-2-1 tells you to draw the gun.
PULL THE TRIGGER!
PULL THE TRIGGER BITCH! [x3]
PULL THE TRIGGER!
PULL THE TRIGGER BITCH! [x5]

3. Paint The Sun Black

When I close my eyes I see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars back.
When I close my eyes I feel the barrel of a gun between my teeth.
When I close my eyes I can see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars back.
I feel my blood in my veins seethe.
All alone with the barrel of a gun between my teeth.
A white wedding dress stained with blood of loneliness.
I couldn't give a fuck less! This world is hostile and loveless!
When i close my eyes I see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars back.
When i close my eyes I see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars back.
When i close my eyes I see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars back.
When i close my eyes I feel the barrel of a gun between my teeth.
In my mind I've already died...
'Cause in my mind I've already died.
Smile full of pain still full of pride.
Leave you behind with the darkness you created for years.
With the motherfucking dreams that been traded for tears.
I tell you: Fuck that! Got that?
Full of pain! Full of pride!
I see the whole world bleed...
When i close my eyes I see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars back.
When i close my eyes I see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars back.
When i close my eyes I see the whole world bleed.
Paint the sun black to bring the stars BACK.
I tell you: Fuck that! Got that?

4. Kings Of Kingdom Gone

We are the laughed at and spit on!
FUCK THAT! [x6]
WE WON'T ever give up! WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK!
You don't understand, THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN!
FIGHT until times is up! WE WON'T EVER STOP!
Because in the end, WE KEEP THE FLAME BURNING!
(We are...) We are the kings of kingdom gone.
We are the laughed at and spit on.
(We know...) We know someday our time will come to rise and to proof YOU SUCKERS WRONG.
Oh yeah! FUCK! Proof you wrong!
WE DON'T ever resign! WE WILL SEIZE THE CHANCE we never got! YOU CAN'T KEEP US FROM TRYING!
STILL stand side by side! IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY!
And you will see, WE WILL NEVER STOP RISING! Never!
(We are...) We are the kings of kingdom gone.
We are the laughed at and spit on.
(We know...) We know someday our time will come to rise and to proof YOU SUCKERS WRONG.
We are the laughed at and spit on!
Time will come to rise and to proof YOU SUCKERS WRONG.
YOU SUCK BIG TIME !!!!

5. The Illusion Of Balance

Fighting for balance, no use apart.
Can never touch, but share my heart.
The scum and the beauty: it's all in one, each waiting for their time to come.
Cause it's afflicting me with love and with hate.
Despair and bliss can't wait until it's too late.
If you chase my demons, my angels might die.
Even when I'm dreaming, I'm torn inside.
If you chase my demons, my angels might die.
Even when I'm dreaming, I'm torn apart inside.
Each side prevails from time to time, although we strive to be sublime.
'Cause where there is light, there is shadow too.
Can't win, no matter what we do.
Connected in a fight my two souls collide.
One thousand and one sleepless night, 'till I die.
If you chase my demons, my angels might die.
Even when I'm dreaming, I'm torn inside.
'Cause it's afflicting me with love and hate, I'm torn inside.
The scum and beauty mirrored by the break of morning-light.
Connected in a fight, forever my two souls collide.
One-thousand and one hopeless day that leads to one more sleepless night! GO! C'mon! We are stuck in life, won't get out alive!
If you chase my demons, my angels might die.
Even when I'm dreaming, I'm torn inside.
If you chase my demons, my angels might die.
Even when I'm dreaming, I'm torn inside.

6. Arm The Hopeless

My heroes are dead!
My mentors were wrong!
My idols are fiction!
What have I become?
Live by the sword, die by the sword, spilling blood in the name of the lord.
Holy war is the name of the game, different faiths, their plans are the same!
Religions are based on spreading the love.
Terror and war is what finally came off.
Tearing wounds that can never be healed.
Spreading the word, with shiniest steel!
Arm the hopeless with false believes to live and kill for.
We've been all deceived, cause we believed.
The blood on your plans leaves blood on your hands.
Sacrifice our sons for nothing at all. Still we believe.
My heroes are dead! My mentors were wrong!
My idols are fiction! What have I become?
THIS IS WAR!
They say it's for the soldiers, the mothers, the freedom of others (...nothing at all)
Our country, our brothers, who's screams are still smothered (...nothing at all)
For payback with vengeance, the freedom we're given (...nothing at all)
For oil and for money, September 11th ! (...nothing at all)
Their patriotism, their fight for the flag:
The pledge of allegiance bends their backs 'till they break.
They burn in the dessert, die on foreign ground, they're searching for peace but war they have found.
Arm the hopeless with false believes to live and kill for.
We've been all deceived, cause we believed.
The blood on your plans leaves blood on your hands.
Sacrifice our sons for nothing at all. Still we believe ... nothing at all.
Don't you wanna join their army?
Don't you wanna join their navy?
Don't you wanna be like Rambo?
Suicide commando!
You claim to be our rulers, so accept the fuckin' charge, for patriots in body bags who died on your death march!
They call for war on terror! They call for war on war!
How can you sleep at night? What you decide makes bombs ignite!
THIS IS WAR! [x4]
You're alibi to justify...
Arm the hopeless with false believes to live and kill for.
We've been all deceived, cause we believed. WE BELIEVED!
The blood on your plans leaves blood on your hands.
Sacrifice our sons for nothing at all. Still we believe...
... STILL WE BELIEVE IN nothing at all!
NOTHING AT ALL!

7. Purest Grey

Hate ain't red, despair ain't black, it's a blinding glow you can't see through.
Endless colours blend to shades of grey.
Green as hope and deep blue fear, a purple flow that we all know.
All these colours shining on my face.
This room inside of me is still dark and empty.
Can't you see the walls are all painted black, painted red from the blood of my dreams, painted brown by years of taking SHIT!
But these colours they don't mean a thing ... and everything.
I colour-blind my soul, overpaint my shadow on the wall ... before it takes control.
'Cause all these colours never stay.
My soul is drowned in the purest grey.
Beams of light divide the haze.
All these colours shining on my face.
Endless colours blend to shades of grey.
Yellow like the sun they say?
Can't you see the sky's all grey!
All these colours shining on my face.
This room inside of me is still dark and empty.
Can't you see the walls are all painted black, painted red from the blood of my dreams, painted brown by years of taking SHIT!
I colour-blind my soul, overpaint my shadow on the wall ... before it takes control.
'Cause all these colours never stay.
My soul is drowned in the purest grey.
Ahhh! ...before it takes control, control, yeayeah!
My soul is drowned in the purest grey.
'Cause all these colours never stay.
My soul is drowned in the purest grey.

8. Heaven Gone Wrong

Yeah ... hell for everyone!
This is an open letter going out to you all, to each and every fucking one willing to stand tall.
You gotta take a step ahead!
You gotta speak your mind instead!
Crushed by the rearing walls of a life that nobody ever chose, but we still can't deny.
You gotta know that no one cares!
You gotta climb these countless stairs!
Heaven gone wrong!
This could be paradise, we bastardized into hell, once and for all, for us all, into ...
Heaven gone wrong!
Once and for all, for us all, into ... HELL!
... hell for everyone!
They try to keep me calm with deliberate lies.
And to achieve their goals they will pay any price.
You gotta see the plot behind!
You gotta try and free your mind!
Cause when you believe that your dream can't fail it's the strong, not the many, who will always prevail.
You gotta try and fight your way!
You gotta pray for a better day!
Heaven gone wrong for too long, too long,
'cause we turned this place into hell.
Heaven gone wrong 'cause we're wrong (OH SO WRONG)
MASSACRE !!!
Heaven gone wrong!
This could be paradise, we bastardized into hell, once and for all, for us all, into ...
Heaven gone wrong!
Once and for all, for us all, into ... HELL!
... hell for everyone!
I do not point my finger,
I'm not doing it better, BITCH!
I just wanna make you see how to see things differently!

9. Ghost Ship

As far as any eye can see, night and water endlessly.
One thousand and one shoreless day, since the blackbird took all hope away.
I am tight to the mast of a ghost ship, and it's sinking, I know it's going down!
It floods my lungs with angry tide, the vela is my one last guide.
Who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep down...)
With your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep down..)
Hard to drown!
Helmsman on a mirrored sky. Stars reflecting, drifting by.
Time and tide won't wait, it seems, for those for whom the pale moon gleams.
No candle lit, to guide me home, I pry for it.
Flotsam with a broken mast, sails are torn, and no hope left.
Who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep down...)
With your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep down..)
Hard to drown! ALL HOPE IS GONE!
My final rest for evermore! Tell me...
...who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep down...)
With your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep down..)
Hard to drown!
For evermore I anchor on the ocean floor! For evermore, this is my final rest, forever!

10. Silence Is A Blessing

SILENCE is a blessing, and silence is a curse, like a trench knife. Noise can't be any worse.
Depriving me from quietness is forcing me to choke.
Sound won't only touch the face, it will be grinding through.
I'M NOT ... not blaming anyone.
I WILL ... mute the world and think I won.
Don't ask for in-betweens in life, no shades of black and white.
We're dying in silence inside!
NOISES get you back outside, with sounds that make you fear,
... that came to leave you here.
If music's sweet like suicide, then I'm in love with razors.
My heart stopped making any sound, you won't hear when it breaks.
I'M NOT ... not blaming anyone.
I WILL ... mute the world!
We're dying in silence!
Don't ask for in-betweens in life, no shades of black and white.
We're dying in silence inside!
The two horizons fitted to blur and hypnotize.
Truth has splitted, chums up to compromise.
Why, why, why? What the fuck?
Don't ask for in-betweens in life, no shades of black and white.
We're dying in silence inside! (Why?)
We're dying in silence inside!

11. Jonestown

We've been betrayed! We've been so betrayed!
Touched their souls like a mind-reader, the Baptist preacher, father, leader.
A vision bleak shows in his eye: cyanide and lullaby.
Innocence strewn like confetti:
Brother, sister, mother, daddy.
Tongue and lips stained blueishly.
Their eyes shut so euphorically.
Fooled and trapped by a captor of men.
A sect that's trained to die for him.
Too blind with trust in all his lies, suicide for paradise.
Morning sun, lined up bodies, face-down, bare of hopes and worries.
A family picture, side by side.
Nine hundred thirteen left tonight.
Morning sun, warming cold meat, face down in the jungle heat.
If they won't let us live in peace, let's die in peace and leave this place.
Smell the almond-scented breath, rising jungle mist of death.
They downed the poison, sugar sweet,
'till silence filled the humid heat.
Babies held like guns by mothers, motionless on one another.
Hold them tight, and hold them still,
Do my will!
Seduced by a killer.
Trapped by a captor of men.
A sect trained to die for him.
Blind with trust in all his lies, suicide for paradise.
Seduced by a killer
We've been betrayed! We've been so betrayed!
Morning sun, lined up bodies, face-down, bare of hopes and worries.
A family picture, side by side.
Nine hundred thirteen left tonight.
Morning sun, warming cold meat, face down in the jungle heat.
If they won't let us live in peace, let's die in peace and leave this place.

12. My Silent Call

Flowing like a river without any water.
Erased like the thoughts of my fallen brother.
I am twisting and turning into your oblivion.
The things that I been through made me unforgiven.
I am all burned out!
These scars won't heal, they feed the drought
I'll always feel!
Cold fire and fear!
Won't take now more...
Why can't you hear my silent call?
Breaking like the dawn, like the dawn of the day.
The sun ripped apart and thrown away.
Yellow blood is dripping, dripping down the path of life.
Who's life? Who's life?
Who's life? Who's life?
I am all burned out!
These scars won't heal, they feed the drought
I'll always feel!
Cold fire and fear!
Won't take now more...
Why can't you hear my silent call?
Why can't you hear my silent call?
These scars won't heal. I can't deny:
I am all burned out!
These scars won't heal, they feed the drought
I'll always feel!
Cold fire and fear!
Won't take now more...
Why can't you hear my silent call?
Why? Why?
WHY CAN T YOU HEAR
MY SILENT CALL ?
