ANNIHILATION Annihilation is to one the means to an end Armageddon, the war to end all wars, the extremists' end Annihilation annihilation annihilation self destruction The streets are on fire, death in our wake Car overturned, bodies are raped You go on preaching religious dogma While paying for and sanctioning vicious murders Annihilation annihilation annihilation praise destruction You go on playing with people's lives Using their minds, you want total control Stay in line Annihilation annihilation the judgment day Armageddon armageddon, are you going to let them blow you away? HOW WHEN AND WHERE We condemn all military action The power and destruction The force used against our will The useless blood they spill Just a matter of time, how when and where The guns and bombs are very real They're meant for use against you and me And maybe you'll soon discover That it's not for defense or any peaceful matter Just a matter of time, how when and where Your desperate laugh ain't for fun Count your days one by one Like sheep you go in for the slaughter You don't even bother to ask what for SKINNED ALIVE You can walk down any city's streets On any given day of the year And pretend that what we have is peace But we live our lives in constant fear Of a hellish inferno, a mass crematorium Ashes to ashes, blown away by the winds There’s no escape to or from Any kind of a nuclear exchange Make haste or we're surely doomed To see our planet's end In a hellish inferno, a mass crematorium Ashes to ashes, blown away by the winds PREJUDICE These men bought by prejudice Their laws not made for justice Their lives, I want no part of this Your death, dig your own grave or go your own way Chorus Governments don't care, they make no distinctions Ten tons for each, take no ultimatums How will you feel, the proud father of a corpse Bearing children with no chance for survival Chorus For the architects of hate They build their cities upon ignorance and prejudice Technologies and advancements are created to squander lives From them there's no place to run Nowhere to hide Chorus To live and die that can't be wrong They'll see you dead before too long Their treacherous ways to get at you Atrocities are still committed, they hide the truth NO LIMBS We don't condone your mass murder We don't believe in this human torture We won't tolerate this coming pain In your fucking war nothing's gained Your iron fist is clamping down Make the poor work the ground Till the soil with your bombs And fertilize it with our own blood Is the unborn child to be the next unknown soldier? ANOTHER MOUTH TO FEED Country to country, you're treated like shit One camp to another, where do you fit You fled for your life with nothing but the clothes on your back You think you’ve found freedom, you’ve fallen for the trap You have no money, no friends from outside Looking for a home, all you get is lies Chorus Tagged as a refugee, burden on the state Another mouth to feed, a new people to hate Chorus You’re not longer human, something that's sickly To be looked down on by the rest of society SEARCH FOR THE SUN Here we stand with a passion for life A world without hate, no violence, no strife See all there is to see Hear all there is to hear Know all there is to know Feel all there is to feel A world without war, where we can be free Our future, our earth, begins with you and me A search for life in this dirty world A cry of pain and anguish for love Searching for the sun in this fucking dirty world Chorus The twisted and tortured, yearning for love Searching for the sun in this fucking dirty world No powers to control us, stand for freedom No wars to kill us, work for peace Chorus No more hate to divide us, stop your fighting More love to join us, more love to join us |
INDO CHINA The scene grossly repeats itself in my head The background's a blur wading deep in blood A violent new order of distrust and hate A genocidal war where the shooting hasn't stopped Indo China lost forever Indo China you destroyed her indo China don't you forget her Indo China how you robbed and raped her So cold the killings somehow captured on film Disturbed me in such a way that I felt unclean Again and again a million shots to my brain An array of dead lined the streets for parade Chorus No one really cares how they've been at war In their eyes the many years of pain I saw The countless deaths and casualties The crimes against humanity Chorus And what has war left for the children For they have become orphans and they're dying of starvation Who do they blame when their rears have dried We all have to pay for, we all die inside, my Indo China THREE MILES TO OBLIVION There is no environmental protection Our earth is fucked from exploitation From strip mining to offshore drilling And industry created pollution Three miles to oblivion Three miles to death Three miles to extinction The clear dangers of nuclear power Are so imminent they can't be ignored And we know no way to dispose of it The chances for disaster are greater Chorus We're not gonna wait for the meltdown Nor will we just stand still I ask you how much is too much When we have the leaks and spills Chorus SEE THROUGH THEIR LIES I can't forget what seemed like yesterday The memories of war they just won't fade See through their lies The years I was there, it seems so far away Everyone tried to ignore it, saying it'll go away It never went away, no matter how much we pretend The lives that were lost, the wounds will never mend See through their lies The living envying the dead, many will never know It's hard to believe in a cheap thing called hope Slept under mosquito nets, we used kerosene lamps I remember the discomfort, the air was so damp See through their lies At times I couldn't even breathe cos the nights were so hot I remember scratching my arms till they almost bled They kept telling me war never hurt anyone It's all part of life, you got to take it if you want to be strong See through their lies They were only lying to themselves cos the war is still going on And my heart sank for a past that's gone DEATH TOLL Born weeks premature not to everyone's delight Crippled from malnutrition, another unwanted child She cradled him in her arms while she brushed away the flies Praying that her newborn can survive through the night It's a shame to give birth in a world that is dirt What kind of life can she give when she has nothing to offer She held him to her breast, a future they can't even hope for A reality she can't escape, numbed to the cold and despair victim of greed, the poor never get their share It's a shame to give birth in a world that is dirt The stifling heat of the night, mother and child on the ground The pain and the sadness, children scavenge for what can be found They try to hide the poverty but poverty can't be hidden Covering up a lie with another lie it's the way of the system Their solution to hunger is a dime from here and there But still they support the arms and I don't believe they care And the millions go on starving to preserve the American dream As they pile up more statistics to prove that's how it's always been When morning came, her baby died, she could do nothing but weep Something broke inside of her, something frail and weak She accepts death a part of life that is lonely and final Accepts a life of poverty, then she closed her eyes to sleep It's a shame to give birth in a world that is dirt Weighing the burdens, maybe it's better off to die Not having enough to eat, starving the young is such a crime BLIND DESTRUCTION Youth and violence, youth don't fight I see no humour when someone's getting hurt When the lights go down, everything’s a fucking blur You fight out on the streets, you take it on the dance floor You take your aggression but the cops are at our door Chorus Scenes have died this one may soon follow Do you know what you're gonna do or where you're gonna go You better get your head straight cos something's gotta change Or you'll find out you'll be all alone in the end Chorus Go on fighting amongst yourselves, do you think I fucking care But when you fight amongst yourselves, you ruin it for yourself You don't need the violence to prove you are a man Or are you too fucking blind to ever understand Chorus RISE AND FALL Too many times I've wished I had said All the thoughts that were in my head To all the people that I adore The splendor never rises to what it's for I've had enough, I've said enough This picture paints a thousand words behind this image, the feeling's never heard You tell me to forgive and forget But my love can only hurt Chorus The curtains have finally closed From the ruins I finally rose To the melancholy of another day This fate I can never betray Chorus This is my rise and fall, rise and fall STOP TORTURE Savage and barbarous, they continue the practice of torture The police engage in riots, the army gears for war Stop mutilation, stop the torture Stop the torture for profit and war Corporations use torture to rob and discard the poor They deal in assassinations to keep the cry down to a murmur Chorus To fight war in which mutilation is condoned and allowed The system will use any amount of force to uphold its strength and power Chorus Singling people out for their beliefs, this happens now The outright violation of human rights must be stopped somehow On the basic questions of human rights and human needs They'll quietly close the door You'll see that the freedom we have is not our own Take a look at El Salvador US government backed butchers in the guise of friendly advisors The friendly neighbor with a bloody trade Preparing to declare their next war Their use of the media to discredit disclaim and betray To outrage and incite violence, make sure things remain the same Chorus Somewhere a captive audience watch a demonstration Watch a man disfigured, his body wired for electrocution Chorus They sit with their hands clasped waiting in anticipation They sit with their hands clasped waiting in anticipation Stop torture |
