1. Aimless?
Your body is earth
My soul is a temple
Your desires are religion
My instinct is semen
Of new life
Of new love
This sky is my window
Which faces you
This moon is my brother
Who shows me the way
I must find the way to you
I must find the way to truth
2. Giant Wakes Up
Thousand years long dream kept you separate from us
We grew happily without fear of you
But then from nowhere they came and interrupted your dream
They tried to take your strength, to make you a slave
They woke up the giant
And disturbed the equilibrium
They woke up the giant
And everything stopped
They fled and saved their lives and we were left to die
With our blood to quench giant's thirst for revenge
And everything turned to wasteland, eyes closed
There was no one to mourn the dead
Earth; don't forget us
We are your children
Keep the reminiscence
Of lives that we gave you
Sleep calmly
Forever, forever
3. 18
I'm still alone
Boredom kills me
With every jiffy I'm getting older
But where're my years?
No one knows
Why and this life
Senseless and wretched
Determined beforehand
By parents
By state
By authorities
By institutions
They're trying to make me
Subordinate to them
Brainwashed creature
They want to force me
To think their thoughts
To converse their conversations
To read their books
To listen to their music
Nice cut hair, shaved face
Dressed like other young people
He goes in for sports because of look
He plays in band because of girls
I don't care anymore
About your scornful looks
I want and have my own self
I'm not a creature from your prison
4. Minstrel?
Dazzled by stupidities served to you on TV
You're unable to recognize the genuine values
Singing little songs with somewhat more powerful guitars
Yes, you listen to alternative
You're full of yourself like you are something different
From the mass poisoned by different shits
Important is that you have a little bag with grass
That's the most essential, you're young; you're wild
And then you come to me, to criticize
What I do, what I love
You're competent; you know the best
You don't see them mutilate your brain
I don't give a fuck for your vacuous opinions!
If you're not capable of valuing someone's
Work and effort no matter will you like
Or not the final score; then fuck off!
You're empty, fucked up; they washed your brains
I don't intend to justify myself to anyone
For what I'm doing, I shall howl, I shall scream
As long as I have strength, like it or not
My lyrics are in English
Just because I like that
Not for 'the success in the world'
I just like that, full stop, end
5. Weak
Happy I live, happy I die
Every day, alone, lonely
Among four walls in my shell
Made of pain and defeat
I live like machine, unconscious of world
Which grows rapid around me
Estranged from everyone I'm looking into empty
I hope, I want, I long
I know that I am
An obstacle to myself
I hate to lose what's precious to me
But no matter how much I tried or suffered
Or understood or gave in or loved
Everything is in vain
I don't have strength to stand up anymore
I have been bent and broken too many times
I hate myself because of that
I am an obstacle to myself
Obstacle like a mountain
All the time it grows, rises
Gets away to the sky
And I am so small, so weak
I am so weak and sleepy
To move, to raise my head
I feel so sleepy; I would close my eyes
Because I am so tired, scared, I am so weak
6. Discover the Body, Consider the Pain
Unusual human destinies
Tell us about the different lives
Morbid truths are hidden behind
The walls are breaking down; we're free
Gone, no one knows that he existed
Ordinary scum, never respected
Ambitions not showed, strangled
Used by the others, what could he expect?
Smell of the dying breath
Calling him to join death
Never ever to return
Giving his soul to burn
No one alive returned from war
Those who stay don't feel the need for
The choking pleasure of living the life
Blackness calls, take the knife
Caught in bad obsession
Trying to reach
Characterizing the state
Insanity overcame sanity
Just a little; touch yourself
Accuse mind for vulgar thoughts
Write down what you observe
On your skin try to carve
Discover the body; consider the pain!
7. Expecting
In my room the walls speak
There're many voices; they killed silence
They keep me awoken not letting me to fall asleep
To flee from them and rest my soul
I stare into vacant and pretend not to hear them
I close my eyes and try to flee
Thoughts evaporated into my subconsciousness
Into my world where me is me
I creep and eat the ground
I am the worm, miserable spineless person
In darkness I dig industriously
I don't think because I don't have brain
In my hole I wait for the day
When I will grow up and come out
To be eaten by the snakelike birds
To be trampled by the spineless people
And I wait and I dig industriously
And I don't think
"Wake up! Wake up!" I hear the walls howl
"Why don't you answer?
Why are you silent permanently?
Don't be cruel, say something..."
And I am silent and I wait
I wait for my day to come
8. Human-Beast
One look back through the history
Tells us a lot about the development of human
From an animal from cave through the centuries
One developed into a perfection of evolution
Human has become
A master of life on Earth
But though one has elevated
Oneself above caves and mud
One remained deep in oneself
The bloodthirsty animal
Human has become
A beast, the murderer
Wars, tortures, genocides
Camps for massive destructions
Are deeds of modern human
Perfection of civilization
Human has covered the enormous road
But at its very beginning human died
Milliards of years were needed
For life to be created
And just a moment is sufficient
For life to be destroyed
9. Under Control
Again alone in my hole behind the iron doors
I languish and wait for you
Voraciously I breathe and burn with desire for
The breast of yours and skin fragrant
One more jiffy and you're here
So near that I can feel your smell
I can't endure anymore, my senses have gone mad
I stretch out my arms and take you
It's all a dream with which I am born again
And seek the place in the cruel sun
And want at least for an instant
To break the wall in my head thinking about you
And again I come face to face
With myself in the nightmares
I'm covered with blood; I stare
At my body broken and dead
It is time to get up
And come back to reality
Just one step divides me
From permanent eternity
But I have no bravery to take a step forward
I return empty and half-dead
Again I'm alone in my hole
Behind the iron doors I languish
And wonder if I will withstand
Until your repeated arrival
I begin to lose control of myself...
10. Lead Up the Garden Path
I see them come and take away my intellect
They poison me and change my thoughts every day
Not letting me breathe, to inhale air
They tell me what to eat, what to drink
They force me to laugh at the malignant humor
I've become depraved; I've become perverted
I don't know what's honest and what's bad anymore
Others think instead of me, I just listen to them
Open your eyes, slaves to the twentieth century
You'll become the freedmen; this is the exoneration
They lead us on and mislead us
With vague promises and false information
We've become the endangered species
Stultified, deadened, and totally dazzled
Manipulated, formless mass of brains
Rinsed, dried, reprogrammed for their needs
To think what they want us to think
To perish for the fatherland with pride
Not knowing honesty of intruded idea
Be silent, work, suffer; die for their benefit
