1. Intro: April 24th




2. Genocide

Soldiers of doom blaze across the land
Starting a genocide
No matter who it is take their lives

Raping the women, cutting their wombs
Decapitating children
Mountains of skulls left on sand

Genocide

All around the world everybody knows
who and what to blame
But denying the crime is part of the game

Genocide




3. Slaves Of The Society

Victims of the society
And there is nowhere to run
nowhere to hide, nowhere to lay down
There's no escape

Fought for my country
gave my health, life and sanity got nothing back
Now locked in a room, beg to survive
Wishing God to take my life

Nobody cares, don't even look
cause can't work, can't walk, have no one
And the war of a few is the pain of millions
millions forgot and the fault is ours

Slaves of the society
cause we fought for people that won't fight for us
Slaves...

...society...

And we're just a few, cause lot's were gone
and they are happier where they are
cause they don't see, feel or listen
the things we do...
Don't feel the sorrow of being a hero who's been damned

Slaves of the society
cause we fought for people that won't fight for us
Slaves...

Slaves, slaves, ...
society...




4. Brainwashing

At the time I was a young boy
we wouldn't see that on the streets
to watch the TV news makes me sick
The cartoons and the programs
that were on TV
didn't show the way the streets would really be

Today if I turn on TV in the morning
It makes me sick
the cartoons shows me violence and killing
Today if I turn on TV at night
It makes me sick
the news shows me violence and killing

And it makes me wonder...
Imagine it in a few years...

Brainwashing - the education of today's children provide
Violence for tomorrow
You'll feel pain, you'll feel sorrow
Violence for tomorrow
Brainwashing - the education of today's children provide
Violence for tomorrow

Kids play with weapons, their lives are their toys
When they play fighting, inside it works

Brainwashing - the education of today's children provide
Violence for tomorrow
You'll feel pain, you'll feel sorrow
Violence for tomorrow
Brainwashing - the education of today's children provide
Violence for tomorrow

Brainwashing...




5. Far Away




6. Earth

Oh, you were so good, so pretty , so kind
Good luck of who lived years behind
Green fields, blue skies, nature and life

That was a time where the animals were free
They were not bothered by the human seeds
Now they're just killed or become another human property

A humans dream
A non-humans dream
A light in the dark
A shade in the sun
A minute of magic
without using hands
Believers and non
curing world's disease

Now I'll tell the words I learned from an Indian chief
When white man came he knew what he would see
He said "From now on, we stop to live, we start only to survive"

A place to live, not just survive
A chance to live, not just survive
Oxygen to live, not just survive
Life to live, not just survive




7. Brothers

I was born, and grew up
around that reality
Childhood, Sunday's preach at Church
God says - different but brothers

The way they said that all are brothers
The way they said that all are sons of God
The way they said that all are brothers
But now I know...

Media spreads a lie, media don't choose sides
South Africa's way of life
Politicians, racism, who cares anyway?
"They pay their taxes, don't they?"

The way they said that all are brothers
The way they said that all are sons of God
The way they said that all are brothers
But now I know...

As years go by I learn the hard way
there are two different worlds
Living a war without battles
but there is blood...

The way they said that all are brothers
The way they said that all are sons of God
The way they said that all are brothers
But now I know...

The way they said that all are brothers
The way they said that all are sons of God
The way they said that all are brothers
But now I know...
Now I know...




8. Spreading A Lie

And time goes by
they live the way
In such poverty
Life's a game

Some people say
the country is free
where all the races
can live in peace

The men in press, who tell the truth
report the facts sometimes ain't true
this makes things a lot worse
Living that way won't have peace

How can some people say for them there's no difference
if most of their people are poor
And some say they treat'em equal
While time magazine prints an article on blacks who succeeded
Why such a few?

This ain't the way I wish it was
But I don't know why they spread a lie
Inside, everybody knows
But I don't know why they spread a lie

And time goes by
they live the way
In such poverty
Life's a game

Some people say
the world is free
where all the races
can live in peace

This ain't the way I wish it was
But I don't know why they spread a lie
Inside, everybody knows
But I don't know why they spread a lie
This ain't the way I wish it was
But I don't know why they spread a lie




9. Why Me?

And all comes down alone at night
I think of me and my life
I think of me and my chances
Bringing back my memories
My job won't take me anywhere
School won't take me anywhere
But can I change society?
This ain't no good place for me

I feel the pain that this life ain't for me
cause I haven't chosen
Why me?

And I cry like a child, it is our destiny
if I could have chosen
Why me?

As I walk a dark street at night
coming back from school
had a hard day at work
It's raining and I feel cold

Police car stops by my side
check out my I.D.
Damn it, I didn't do anything
it's not what I did, it's what I am

I see a family that won't succeed
cause society will never let
Poor all will be
This ain't no good place for me

I feel the pain that this life ain't for me
cause I haven't chosen
Why me?

And I cry like a child, it is our destiny
if I could have chosen
Why me?

Why me?




10. Last Tears

It's early morning, the sun is up
Wish I wasn't awake
Lying in bed, room's still dark
Blaming myself for the pain

Sunlight again, two days passed by
No food, no drink, window closed
Don't really know if I should go out
No money to pay this hotel room

And I cry for the ones who are just born
Cause they will live this pain
I can't go on this way
Hope to get better someday

I hold a letter over my heart
for my family who loves me
Manager knocks hard at the door, hears shotgun
This letter says...

And I cry for the ones who are just born
Cause they will live this pain
I can't go on this way
Hope to get better someday

And I cry for the ones who are just born
Cause they will live this pain
I can't go on this way
Hope to get better someday

12. Would You Dare? (Bonus Track)
