1. Born Free Die Free
You let them rape your soul
Put the loop on your neck
They took it all
And gave nothing back
They made you feel guilty
They made you feel proud
Saying you’re pure or filthy
Right to your face and loud
Do you think you can earn to be saved?
Would you like to live the life you deserve?
Are you happy with being their slave?
Wanna set yourself free or end up in a grave?
You let them rape your soul
Put the loop on your neck
As life takes its toll
You’re slowly getting wrecked
You pretend to smile
Choked under the surface
Born free, shackled you’ll die
Caught up in a rat race
Do you think you can earn to be saved?
Would you like to live the life you deserve?
Are you happy with being their slave?
Set yourself free or end up in a grave
And if you died tomorrow, what would you do today?
Would you still serve this giant with the feet made of clay?
Would you take your chance to taste the real life?
Or would you spend this very last day to get the best quality last rites?
Born free
Die free
2. Coma Is Over
Awake and alert I dare
To struggle until I am free
What once we were
What I still can be
Coma is over, I am not yours anymore
Coma is over, I am like never before
A pill to swallow, a carrot and a stick
Thumbs up for the strong, thumbs down for the weak
Self determined I dare
To struggle till the last day
To live for what I still care
Not the shit I’m supposed to play
Coma is over, I am not yours anymore
Coma is over, I am like never before
A pill to swallow, a carrot and a stick
Thumbs up for the strong, thumbs down for the weak
Coma is over
Coma is over
Coma is over
I am not yours anymore
Coma is over
Coma is over
Coma is over
I am like never before
A pill to swallow, a carrot and a stick
Thumbs up for the strong, thumbs down for the weak
3. Escape Failure
I let myself think that things are black and white
Was led astray corrupted by my ego and pride
I let myself be fed on lies and be deceived
I was the stereotype I hated to believe
I escaped failure
Hardships I endure
I let the past go…
…am I telling you something you don’t already know?
Escape failure
Escape failure
Make it through…
…am I in any way different from you?
I wanna say fuck your popularity contest
Strike me off, count me out, I won't be next
This game you played, all of you failed
I won't look up to the heroes you bred to be worshipped and praised
4. Traces To Nowhere
Take it up, deteriorate
Leave all your dreams, sell your fate
Upgrade statistics of suicide rate
Come to the point life terminates
They offer me an affordable fee
for happiness money can buy
A safe place awaits me
In my very own special file
They made an offer - turn them down
They're chasing you - track them down
This ugly deal I struck
Badly I took for mine
Until I saw I was stuck
Behind the enemy line
They made an offer - turn them down
They're chasing you - track them down
Follow the footsteps like those who're gone
Set a poor example for those who'll come
Show how to lose the identity
Promote slave-like mentality
5. Compromise Zero
When the rebellion falls silent, stagnation begins
You stand at a crossroads, you're at the loss
They will do what they can to make you give in
But this time it will be a rebel with a cause
Walk your talk and stand on your feet
Fight tooth and nail for what you believe
Take back your life, get up from you knees
Or sit back and cry, ignorance is bliss
I keep on sticking out even if I am the only one
I can't put up with this world, so why should I
accept what I am against and find the excuse
to turn into what I said I never would
Walk your talk and stand on your feet
Fight tooth and nail for what you believe
Compromise zero! Compromise zero!
Compromise zero! Compromise zero!
Rebel
Fight Back
Create
Maintain
You must be the change you wish to see in the world*
6. Beyond Sanity
Sick theories of ever increasing development
Justified with words emptied of the meaning
So they can pillage to their heart's content
Evolving consumers are what once were human beings
Am I supposed to believe this terrible joke on public?
Same methods of torture, familiar sounding newspeak
Just new threat found backed up by fake evidence
How long shall we let them insult our intelligence?
First they took their voice
Now they can come for yours
The politics of either you're with us or you're the enemy
puts you in the chokehold in the name of manifest destiny
Now the biggest terrorist claim they're terrorized
Where peace is war, being liberated is being brutalized
They control the media, they control the law
You will never know when you end up on death row
They need a scapegoat to blame, a public enemy to become their aim
Anytime each of us can be framed, and they can get away clean again
First they took their voice
Now they can come for yours
7. Scream Bloody Murder
I'm not paranoid
This war's waged on not on the frontiers
It’s here and now, nobody’s safe
It seems that neither reason nor fear
Can’t stop us from digging the grave
Scream bloody murder, I am not paranoid!
(when we’re) killing ourselves in cold cold blood
The golden coin won’t fill the void
The future can’t be bought or sold
No longer let this beauty rot
No longer let this monster grow
It’s not a question whether or not
It’s the question of how
Scream bloody murder, I am not paranoid!
We’re killing ourselves in cold cold blood
The golden coin won’t fill the void
The future can’t be bought or sold
From West to East
So many died
To stop this beast
Before it takes another bite
From North to South
The land destroyed
These are the last days
Don’t call me paranoid!
I scream bloody murder
8. Undercover Enemy
Handcuffed by themselves to the bridges burnt
with cracked skulls and broken bones
Once promised to fight to the bitter end
they've just surrendered, left all alone
Undercover enemy, strikes from within
Takes no prisoners, makes chances slim
Lifeless bodies beaten by dread
Burnt out to prove who’s wrong and right
Jaded cynics lying on their deathbeds
Turned into evil they tried to fight
Undercover enemy, strikes from within
Takes no prisoners, makes chances slim
Puts heroes out, puts traitors in
The damage done, nobody wins
We've got nothing but ourselves
9. Smiling Bag
At the end of the day we’ll all look the same in a smiling bag
Your lame ass fancy clothes are as worthy as a rag
At the end of the day we’ll all end up in a smiling bag
No matter what was the color of the wrapping flag
You keep on telling me bout the way you wanna die
But I want to hear bout the way you wanna live
Stop crying the bitter tear your mother cried
Don’t believe the same goddamn lie your father believed
You dream bout life in a different place, different time
You’re not happy with the person you are
You take for granted all you have and the bottom line
Is that you can lose all you have in the blink of the eye
Have I put across the message clearly enough , will you sing this song
Will you take my hand, before it fades away out of the blue
Will you still waste your precious time to prove me wrong
Or will you prove once again that you’re only a fool
