barricades

i can´t get through these barricades
they block my way
compassion is what i don´t get
these so-called laws are lies to keep this lion caged
no wonder why
when all hope is lost
madness rises above
the gavel falls
you render the judgment and impend my end
you don´t care
kill my hope
inhuman you do act
institutionalized gibberish all the time
immorality written down
thickened in blood
document sealed
bureaucratic reasons are waste (always)
need of instruction
mouse labyrinth
why punch approval
push me downwards the rough way
you force it on
without an ounce of respect
you take it all
all my dignity and whatever is left of it
denied
can´t stand it anymore
conscience separates man from else creatures
but where is yours?
you´re no different from vultures
circling above our heads in desert heat
you´re no different yet you do not see it
for crying shame
heavens sake stretch the rules a bit
hands are tied
damn look at me
see what you did
how can you sleep at night without regret
you put this noose around my neck and tightened it

is this all?
it´s disappointing
thirty years and i doubt seeing straight ahead
senses dulled
slipping out of hand
what purpose served
now that i see clearly it drives me insane
laughter is what i miss
determined my path no longer is
i stumble over words
there is no more point of return
if still waters run deep, i´m marianas trench
i don´t sow and neither reap
i stopped believing it
i can´t reap what i have sown
the sun has gone
the son has gone away
my temper directs me
going berserk over facts my eyes now see
need to push on
help me move on
as this son
this brother
the friend i am
you need me as i need you
i may not be useless after all
it´s hard to write on paper
to express this sickness i bear
i´m not contempted with anything from now on
never again

burn through your shield
04:32

i can´t believe it
all this bullshit
all advices i give to support you
you turn down
who are they you try to impress
they stab you in your back
why do please all these hypocrites
to the front-line you´re pushed
strong
you´re on the outside
you wouldn´t think that
fast
life catches up and does burns through your shield
no gain
wake up and damn see
no gain
wake up and see
when it does burn through your shield
loosen the grip
it´s not worth it
self-neglect
don´t neglect
why
cease
why
please
get a hold of yourself
cause this is all we have
they pat your back
medals and rank
yet all of that
you can´t take with
when life does burn through your shield

sullen eyes
03:55

|

you can choose your friends not family
you can´t hate and love equally
take it or leave all behind
these are things in life
you just can´t buy
see what i´ve become
what i am now
i´m a grown up man
i can bear my cross
all this prejudice
all accusations
if they all were true
i´d be dead right now
like father like son
so called failure i am
hollow anyway in your eyes
i´m not of plastic
don´t screw with my mind
it´s too late now
to change somehow
the time elapsed
the strength i got
this battery´s drained
we´re both in vain
we sit in the same boat
that´s short before sinking
so easen up
accept the fact
the apple fell
far from the bark
not half as good
i seem to you
your sights are blurred
we don´t have the same point of view
i´m as self-willed
i´m as selfish as you are
forget
i can´t forget
take that weight off
take the damn weight
off my chest
no sleep
eyes burn
sun blinds
sullen

downfall of man II
05:40
|
|
||
rational is how the human is not
(segregation)
social strata
years b.c. until this millennium
moving backwards outdated ideals
(observation)
man destroys with greed and prejudice
drop politicians
they´re no use
we need practical leaders
cancel outdated laws
on which everyday relies
news casts are all filtered
what they want
you to hear/believe are lies
ignorance is no bliss
it is all getting worse
minutes approaching midnight
it is all getting worse
minutes approach midnight
it is all getting worse
scarcity is what's abundant
it is all getting worse
it´s high time to change our way of thinking
we´ve all been fooled
we are the fools
can´t we learn from the past
seasons change
we forget
bow to this false system
marionettes
it repeats again and again and again
sick cycle has to end
prison built
don´t submit
preprogrammed downfall of man

pagdumot pamati
bun-og kasakit
ang tuyo pagtabang
wa ka'y puangod
sa kinsa'ng naghatag ka gaabusar
wala'y klaro ug prinsipyo
tungod daghan mo, ka isug
atubanga kog ikaw ra
nakaminus ka
tan-awun ta imong katag
traydor mong dagko nagtalikud ko
tuklod sumbag
mohanggat kag away nga hapa na ko
di ko kalihok
palaban ray imo
hoy pagkalma iro
kamabaw sa pang-utok
nagulat ko nimo
imo sang turno karon
layo ra ni sa tinai
sugdi ko
tistingi
ang kalibutan nagtuyok
di ko pirme naa sa ubos
ning kalibutan di imo
nagtuo ka ug di ko kabalos
magbantay ka ug inusa ra
ug kabawi ko gub-on tika
resbak
naputong ko ug sakto
resbak
oras para balos
resbak
pag-abtik na
resbak
sakto na
