1. I Am No Longer Me (as we are no longer us)
I am under the influence
Artificial product controls my thoughts
I have lost all my friends
I'm not able to understand the things they're trying to say
I am no longer me
I am
No longer me
That's not my reflection
In the mirror anymore
I am no longer me
As we are no longer us
2. Awakening
I'm a hungry pauper; I don't have a life
I'm a slave, I am blind; I cannot flee
My legs are weak; my feet are burnt
Nothing human remained in me
Will anyone awake me
From this life of slavery?
We are not supposed to rebel
We are not supposed to use our own heads
We are only supposed to work
Because we are the tools in their heads
I must survive; my day will come
Working double more for the miserable pay
Eating the trash dogs are not fed with
I must feed my family although I'm just a slave
Will anyone awake me
From this life of misery?
Awake!
3. Pure Motive?
You're drunk, walking the street
Thinking that's a cool thing to do
Swaying when you're walking
You're trying to provoke a fight
Hugged with your "friends"
You don't realize what a fool you are
Light up a cigarette
Put it in your mouth
Now you are rowdy
Now you are smarter
Now you are older
Better take a piece of shit and suck
Hidden in some dark hole you're trembling
Another crisis and new critical days begin
Veins wide open are asking for the new doses
You have no more drugs, no more money
Selling everything just for a little snuffle
But why do you kill yourself?
Be the same
Be the special
Be free
Be yourself
By yourself
Stay away from that death
4. Fuck You!
You think that you know more
You don't have your own opinion
You just read and learn about
The things that can't be learnt
Every word of yours is: "Freud said, Hesse said"
But you cannot think by yourself
You're trying to be like those men, clever and smart
To use more brain than mortals can
Respect me, my thoughts
Like I respect yours
But no, I'm wrong
Only you are right
All these things are individual part of us
I can think what I want, not your thoughts
If you think that you know more and better than I do
Why do you sit in park and drink?
Probably you'll reach God by that way
Escaping reality and life we must live
Go, cure yourselves; don't poison those kids around you
Use your brain, not some psychologist's
Fuck you!
5. Street Along the Cemetery
Emotions of a tired man
Who talks about the lost love
And mourns the missed opportunities
Thoughts about his romantic death
I'm walking
The street along the cemetery
Epitaphs, tombstones, strange colors
Tender music broke the silence
Some deep sound
Like a lullaby for the dead
Fall, rain and wash all
The dirty feelings from my soul
In this longest night
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to live without her
She has become my obsession
Loneliness, emptiness and darkness
My broken mind in her possession
I'm walking alone, hiding from the nothingness
That exists in this world
Stars are fading, total blackness
Angel of death is holding the sword
He's just standing there
And waiting for me
He's just standing there
6. Sick of All Your...
You who assert something
And you're not able to defend that
You who see only somebody else's mistakes
And you're not able to notice yours
I'm sick of you!
Fucking jerks!
I'm sick of you all!
You know who you are!
You who feign cool guys and straighters
And in fact you're silent and you suffer the influences
You who have many friends
And as soon as you turn your back you slander
You who are against the profiteers
And you make a profit with your acts
You who are against the Nazis
And you know that some of them are your friends
You who are against the commercial bands
And in fact you listen to and admire them
You who are just the poseurs
And who follow the fashion trends
You, makeup-men, overdressed from outside
And empty from inside
You who are ashamed of the things
You used to love once
7. Through the Empty Fields of Revulsion
It's easier to hate
Than to forgive
It's easier to go downhill
Than to go uphill
Lost in dream I can see
The same image of the old man
Old wise man who leads me
Through the empty fields of revulsion
I saw my face before death
My face, which contorts
In pain and it transforms
Into a posthumous mask
I've never been so insecure
To show my emotions
I've always wanted a good friend
Someone to understand me
I needed a good friend
And that was not you
You would have never understood
My pain and my feelings
When you're different they will
Make a laughingstock of you
So you withdraw into a shell
Becoming an introvert, potential autist
With a tattoo in my mind
I'm a flyer through the hollow time
Realizing the century-old cry
I turn the skulls of spirits
Choking by man's smoking
I taste the toxic waste
I drink bloody human gravy
From the different rites of execution
There is nothing left of me
Oh, people; listen to my eulogy
Find me, kill me; don't let my soul to wander
Through the empty fields of revulsion
8. Chained By Tradition
Miserable is the world in which
The politics governs the people
And even some of the youth
Are considering your nationality
I shudder when I see
Once crushed danger
Which grows around me
Forgotten evil surrounds us
Some new form
Of Nazism is present
The Jews, the Gypsies, the Negroes
Disturb somebody again
Now the new Nazis
Are endangering our lives
Madman's ideology awakes
In their disturbed minds
Raising their hand in the sign of salute
They revive a memory of Hitler
And all the crimes he had done
To the people who are not "white"
For some of them your nationality
Is not so important
If you're against "white power and pure race"
Their boot will run over you
I don't understand those damned positions at all
Why did you assume an unfriendly attitude?
Why do you observe a man through the fucking frames
Of religion, nation, tradition and race?
Man belongs to mankind
Not to homeland, race or religion
Clear your conscience
Free yourself from the chains of tradition
Chained by tradition!
9. Flight to the Emptiness
I live in the dark street
For me life doesn't exist
I am born in the wrong time
All my dreams disappeared
I walk blind, hurting my head
Blood from arms flows over the water
World tears down, life is fading
Dreams are choking in the mass
Bitterness and despair I feel
I forgot every meaning of life
Human dregs, nothing more
Why do I always act an idiot?
Corrosive feelings
Polluted mind, torture
Suffering, my life
And that's why I want to go
I stab myself in the breast...
10. Queen's Autumn
There is a hole in the sky
Where only the unknown persons go
That place we simply
Cannot see with our eyes
Tell me how does the blue color taste
When you lose yourself in distance
When you dive deeply (into sadness)
When you are at the bottom (of life)?
I'm standing alone in darkness
Moments from the past are resuscitated
By the red of the setting sun
She is on her deathbed
Idyllic tranquility in her eyes
I watch her with tearful eyes
Crying I pronounce her name
I choke on the rushing pain
I want to feel her touch
But there is nothing except illusion
Do not take her from me, God
Don't leave me alone in this world
Now I'm alone, left in sadness
Walking lost by the seashore
I'm trying to calm the emotions
But reminiscences are rushing unstoppably
It is autumn
With eternal memory
In the heart
Forever yours
11. Instantaneous Impulse
Loneliness...I'm absorbed in thought
Will there be something I'm longing for
Or the story will come to an end
Before it has begun at all?
Moment...I need just one moment
Which will last eternally
And help me to pass the barriers
Made by the preceding bad experience
Instantaneous impulse
It is so strong; I'm so weak
I cannot think rationally
Satisfying the internal desire
Instinct...So powerful appeared in me
Unstoppable avalanche of emotions
Which I must express losing control
Its dangerous influence, I'm killing a friend
Rain...Will I see you again?
Take a look to the crying sky
Maybe it doesn't want to hear
The words are designating a saying good-bye
So many hopes
That craved happiness will be realized
Are falling into water
And together with rain are going under the ground
12. Persona non grata
In darkness I'm sitting alone
Broken bones, broken personality
Hysterical voice speaks into my ears
I'm crying; I cannot escape
In darkness I'm sitting frozen
Iced eyes are watching the world around
People who pass by me
Like I'm the useless dog
Life is only
The slow beat
Which disappears
In the endless universe
In darkness I'm sitting finally blind
I feel only the ice-cold touch
Of breath of death straight to the face
Horrible dark, starry infinity
13. Hidden
...And maybe that was just a dream
That final moment of consciousness...
Flash of light in darkness
And forms got out obtaining the colors
So they would lose their existence
Already in the next moment
I see the eye that is looking for
My look it wants to catch
My eye to usurp
For itself fulfilling the wish
I'm losing myself in trance
Smothering the boundless desire
To touch the neck and face
Of the untouchable desireness
She's here, at the arm's length
I touch her; I love her
But in fact she is far away
Unknown and foreign to me
Fascinated by the simple beauty
By something what lies inside
Maybe in fact deceived
Disappointed and in love
14. Because of Girl
You broke your attitudes
You lost your head
You forgot your friends
You changed your life
Because of girl...
Don't let her change you
Don't let her charm you
You must be yourself and strong
Never to forget who and what you are
15. Antipolitics
"We'll do everything for our youth, let 'em have a nice time"
Don't you see they gather points by using you?
Don't you see you are manipulated?
They've thrown you a bone and you've caught it
"That's just rock'n'roll"
And then you leave yourself blindly
Not wanting to think over
Your head is full of fog anyway
"I don't care about politics, I just play music"
It's not possible you are so blind
So stupid to support those idiots
Who make our lives miserable every day
You'd like to be different but in fact you're the same
Same as the majority from which you think you are fleeing
You don't have your own personality; you're not strong enough
To raise your head, stand up and say: "I won't!
"My politics
Is antipolitics!"
16. Alone
...And there was the silence...
I am born alone
Growing and looking
At some strange faces
Maybe they are friendly?
I'm living alone
Acquaintances and friends
All the nice events
Are the insignificant moments
...And the last dream is dispelled...
I'm dying alone
So much tears and sorrow
And in fact jealousy
Because I'm finally happy
