1. Pictures of a New World
Aimlessly I wander the streets of empty city
Darkness, dark swallowed everything
Wasteland, emptiness in my eyes
Lost is the world we had lived in
I pace, search, meet a boy
Pistol in his hand, new crime
Struggling for his life, his survival
He's forever lost in this chaos of madness
We live in a new century
Everything can be attained with
Handful of money, wherever I turn
I see bribe and corruption
Big corporations govern the lives
Putting the worthless products on the market
Which dazzled and with their effect
Well-shaped mass accepts with both hands
In fact all means are used
For perfecting the nuclear weapons
And our planet Earth full of life
Became one big time bomb
Many animal species become extinct every day
Destroyed natural domicile, valuable meat
Excessive felling of forests, violent urbanization
Green areas are in property of the affluent persons
Third World countries are exploited and rejected
Paupers die of hunger and various diseases
And on the other side rich men possess yachts
Drive expensive cars and feed their pets with caviar
2. Poison-pen Letter
Caught in a trap of your own prejudices
You think that we are swollen with pride
Hatred because of jealousy
Makes you intolerant and blind
Out of fear you pour out the lies
And falsehoods about us
Showing in fact
What the weaklings you are
Our appearance and things we like and fight for
Bother you wanting to crush us
With stories about us you just raise our price
And make us popular stating your stupidity
Out of fear you pour out the lies
And falsehoods about us
Showing in fact
What the weaklings you are
With anonymous calls and gossips
You expose yourselves to danger
Because you cannot bark
Out of dark eternally
The sun will rise
And one day all shits
Will swim to the surface
And your stench can be felt
3. Monstrous Warning
Is children's life the price
That has to be paid
For society to become aware
Of an increasing danger?
Open threats, open attacks
Public is silent, experts defend:
"Background is not racism
Incident of the bald immature boys"
Until when will it be like that?
Until when will public squint
And defend daddy's sons
Serbian Nazis and fascists?
Open threats, open attacks
Public is silent, experts defend:
"Background is not racism
Incident of the bald immature boys"
Are we really all blind?
Are we really all so stupid?
It is not much needed
For right side to be seen
We're warned
They must be penalized!
4. Sacred Cow
Do you really think you're right
That what you do is only correct?
Who are you to criticize and condemn others
Without innate feeling, with built-in conscience?
In this rotten and corrupt world
You're just a figure they use; you're not different
If situation prescribes, it isn't hard for you
To turn your real face, you cannot wait
You attack everything and everyone
With dose of one-way criticism
You close eyes, squint
When things concern you
Sacred cow!
To you nothing is sacred
But then you turn to your God-money
What made them to give it to you
To help organization, culturally deceived?!
5. Nostalgia
Here, so close but so far
I find myself
Until I walk cleared path
And around me trees, grass, snow falls
Very little time I need
To feel concrete
Sounds of urban settlement
But I don't want that
Morning has dawned
New day is gray
And everything reminds me of time
When we were little younger
We are no longer there
Where we used to be once...
But now everything is just the fog
Of oblivion that swallowed us
And years we were running away from
Finally caught up to us
Nostalgia...
6. Blood of the Cobblestones
And like I'm closed within the walls
Disappointed, disillusioned, just pain
And awfully bitter taste of reality I swallow
As a pill for the state of even deeper lethargy
Emptiness, nothingness
I float at weightlessness
Through darkness, endless blackness
And silence that grates on my ears
Twilight sleep, knife to kill, life to fall
Speed, light, sharp pain, I move
And like I'm closed within the walls
Disappointed, disillusioned, just pain
And awfully bitter taste of reality I swallow
As a pill for the state of even deeper lethargy
Emptiness, nothingness
I float at weightlessness
Through darkness, endless blackness
And silence that grates on my ears
Twilight sleep, knife to kill, life to fall
Speed, light, sharp pain, I move
Towards earth I trudged and kissed with face of mine
From which thick dark, warm liquid streams
And without a spasm vital energy goes out of the body
That blood on the cobblestones... is mine
Freedom... I'm free!
Doubt... we eliminated!
7. Night of the Forgotten Times
I woke up suddenly broken out in cold sweat
I wanted to shriek but my throat was dry
There were darkness and dead silence in the room
Night was so tense; it smelt of rain
I got up and strolled while my body was burning
Air was heavy; it irritated my thoughts
I felt the cold of mirror on my cheekbones
While I was trying to notice my image in it
Unexpectedly I felt sudden freshness
Rain came to wash my thoughts away
And I ran out looking to the sky
While the large drops were beginning to fall
"Summer downpour, bring me peace
Extinguish the conflagration in my body!"
I closed my eyes and released my thoughts
I stretched my arms out toward the murky sky
Cold drops flowed down my body pacifying me
"Rain, don't stop falling
Until you purge my soul from me!"
8. Lotus-eater
I am the daydreamer!
The enjoyer of pleasure!!
I am the lotus-eater!!!
Lifeless thoughts about the passing time
I did not fulfill the expectations
"Your nights are white again
You are just wasting your time"
I meet with misunderstanding
Almost every day at my family and friends
They think that I am the daydreamer
Free of responsibilities, the enjoyer of pleasure
I am the daydreamer!
Can I go through life all by myself?
How do the surroundings look at me?
Have I become someone?
Has someone become of me?
I meet with misunderstanding
Almost every day at my family and friends
They think that I am the daydreamer
Free of responsibilities, the enjoyer of pleasure
The enjoyer of pleasure!!
I am the lotus-eater!!!
9. United? Divided!
We talk about scene
We support each other
Together we act tolerance
We fight for the same idea
Underground?!
Jealousy - intolerance
Prejudices - exclusiveness
Sneer - slanders
Stubbornness - fanaticism
Where's the difference then?
Where to draw a line?
Where to put a full stop?
Freethinkers - fighters for the human rights...?
I cannot understand you
I cannot understand myself
Because I don't know you well
Because I don't know myself well
Is everything just the mask?
We must ask ourselves well
What do we want to attain
With our work, our behavior
Avoiding parasites
Who label themselves
Thinking they are different
My friends are not only those
Who listen to or play
The same music as I do
I do not differentiate people
In their appearance
But in how they think over
Every struggle will be just an illusion
Unreachable dream that will fade away
In the stronger touch with reality
Because there are always some cretins
Who classify people
In so-called categories
I don't need that!
I don't need them!
Discuss
Defend attitudes
Learn from every conversation
Believe, work, you will make progress
10. Swallowed Pride
Gone into someone else's embrace
I wonder what substitute she could find
Tears of joy...
And then they say I am gifted
Gone into someone else's embrace
I wonder what substitute she could find
Tears of joy...
And then they say I am gifted
Sharp... I like that
Nice, quiet place
Manacled sanguinolent...
I swallow my pride
Tears of joy...
And then they say I am gifted
Gone into someone else's embrace
I wonder what substitute she could find
11. Grafters
Do they know that
They are not only and alone
That they should leave something
For the generations to come?
Do they deserve what is given
To them: our confidence
Power to direct our lives
And bring decisions in our name?
They should be left alone
In the world they create
The world they prepare for us
Should be shown to them
Grayness that will follow
Emptiness equal to one in their souls
They should be left alone
In the world they create
They should feel the cry of Earth
The last cry she emits
Unconscious of its existence
They'll destroy everything
12. Light of a Trip
Take me with you
There are many things to be learned
Bottom of a bottle is almost seen
Just a little more and you'll find out the truth
Body is strong but will is weak
To surmount the abyss in front of me
One step will be enough
Darkness, silence
I feel the objects around me
And taste of blood in mouth is bitter
I search for perfect way
To free myself of pain
I don't want to destroy
My body too much
Blood takes away warmth
And strength with itself
It leaves cold and eternal
Paleness on lips
Don't be ashamed of your body
It's a temple where the soul rests
Satisfy it and care for it
Harmony of body is also harmony of soul
Tears, pain, infirmity, rage
I feel glass under barefoot legs
I hear the cry in distance
While the wind carries my name away
A word is enough to destroy everything
Moment of weakness, misunderstanding
Keep your body; respect all its needs
Because it's a prison and a temple of soul
Which is eternal and created from pure energy
That fills and moves the universe
Cold imbues my tendons
Just a little more and all will be finished
Left arm hangs lifelessly
Above the puddle of dark blood
I feel the objects around me
And taste of blood in mouth is bitter
I feel the pain in my left arm
And warm slithering blood
