Back to a Stone Age

Waking up to the sounds of sirens
Terror unfolds and reveals the true tyrants
Eyes wide open and turning red
The breaking point finally reached
Back to a stone age
Law and order - never to be seen again
Peace and security - a distant memory
We are back to a stone age
It’s survival of the fittest
All hell breaks loose
The dam’s been breached and we’re all
Suffocating in the smoke and fire
While the elites continue to conspire
Law and order - never to be seen again
Peace and security - a distant memory
We are back to a stone age
It’s survival of the fittest
Run up north or try to hide
No turning back until it’s over
Everything you know - now erased
Starting anew in a world of madmen

No Absolute

Surrounded by madmen
now strangers to reality
all of them surrendered
to their fantasies
Sanity has become quite scarce
while insanity now comes naturally
the price was not paid
and now the climate has decayed
Surrounded by madmen
now strangers to reality
all of them surrendered
to their fantasies
Sanity has become quite scarce
while insanity now comes naturally
the price was not paid
and now the climate has decayed
feeding on a feast of lies
in the name of an absolute
reproducing the actions they despise
in the name of an absolute
Violence coming from both sides
rhetorics are mirrored and the circle closes
unable to be rational, blinded by hate
in a climate where fear dominates
THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE

The Jungle

they say the higher you fly
the harder you fall
but most of us
are not born to land hard
the tables will turn
forget what you’ve earned
the lawful - dead and buried
the lawless - struggling for control
your beauty, your money
worthless when the bombs explode
your prosperity, your humanity
worthless when chaos unfolds
we are on the verge
of a new dark age
everything will crumble
and the guns will unload
the tables will turn
forget what you’ve earned
the lawful - dead and buried
the lawless - struggling for control
your beauty, your money
worthless when the bombs explode
your prosperity, your humanity
worthless when chaos unfolds
We are all animals
gone are our morals
once the leash is loose
We turn into cannibals

Fight or Flight
03:02
|

|
Hopes of a better world gone with this war
Sunlight can’t pierce the clouds anymore
Humanity turned into ashes and dust
All that remain are empty badlands
Stress slowly erodes our sanity
Sleepless nights turn into sleepless weeks
Distant detonations keep us in distress
Living a constant threat to survival
Slavers and mercenaries approaching
There is nothing left after their pillaging
Applying a strict scorched earth policy
Conquering and destroying what is still free
Doomed - but we won’t abdicate
We will never accept this sealed fate
March forward and face hell on earth
It’s the last stand for rebirth
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
We will not surrender
We will not surrender
