Warning sound of sirens, waking you up
This 5-piece mayhem crew will force you to stop
Striking with power, no hesitation
We'll turn your head in less than an hour
Welcome to our nation
We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
Underestimated, head to toe in dirt
Keep your distance for your own sake, try to stay alert
Despite what you think, despite what you say
You better take a tighter grip because we are here to stay
We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
We'll no longer be servile
Not anymore
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
When and if that day will come
When all is gone and we are not around
Just close your eyes and listen hard
And we'll be back again
Underestimated, head to toe in dirt
Keep your distance for your own sake, try to stay alert
Despite what you think, despite what you say
You better take a tighter grip because we are here to stay
We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
We'll no longer be servile
Not anymore
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
3. Roots of Anger
I nail your feet toi the ground
And I will never let you go
Never let you go
I'll follow your every turn
Waiting for the final error
I'm right behind you
Oh, it's eating me inside
Tearing me apart
Killing me so slowly
Ripping out my heart
Oh, it's planting seeds in me
Keeping me alert
Paralyzed by the fear
Spreading the roots of anger
Roots of anger
I nail your feet toi the ground
And I will never let you go
Never let you go
Oh, it's eating me inside
Tearing me apart
Killing me so slowly
Ripping out my heart
Oh, it's planting seeds in me
Keeping me alert
Paralyzed by the fear
Spreading the roots of anger
Roots of anger
4. 10.000 Ways
Reckless and limp, small swollen brain
A gaze that reveals everything
Wet as a rat, been soaked for years
Drinking gin after gin
Insanity enters in...
Looking for the keys, violent as hell
Now hearing the words of truth
Blind mindless fuck, indifferent
And ready to waste another youth
Spinning wheels, speeding up
Braking too late, crashing through the gate
Destroying what gets in the way
Ah... there are 10000 ways to die
With honour and pride, heart open wide
We all want to leave
Ah... there are 10000 ways to die
Sometimes our destiny is something else
That we've always believed
Blood on the road that leads us to hell
Traces will vanish in a haze
Hate and disgust, no sympathy
The faster one will win this race
Spinning wheels, speeding up
Braking too late, crashing through the gate
Destroying what gets in the way
Ah... there are 10000 ways to die
With honour and pride, heart open wide
We all want to leave
Ah... there are 10000 ways to die
Sometimes our destiny is something else
That we've always believed
5. Holding on to My Pain
This will be the day that
I will close my eyes and ears
From the evil of the world
These are my last hours
Before I will let it go
I'm so close yet so far
One step behind, one more to go
I'm almost there
I'm still alive and grinding on
I still believe
Days go by
And I'm holding on to my pain
Keeping my eyes away
From what makes me weak, fragile and small
This is my time, I own it
Until I crash and fall
I'm keeping it all inside
I am in control
Or that's what I keep on saving
I am a wreck, am I alive?
One step behind, one more to go
I'm almost there
I'm still alive and grinding on
I still believe
Days go by
And I'm holding on to my pain
Keeping my eyes away
From what makes me weak, fragile and small
6. Swirled
Pitch black skies whip down the rain
That freezes your blood and makes you feel weak
The wind and the cold are bringing you down
You fight, you'll lose, you just don't know it yet
The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever ger back home, now you know it too
Every single step you take gets you closer to the bitter end
The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever ger back home, now you know it too
What is the secret?
The power you're insanely driven by?
And what is the source
That makes you think that you can fly?
One more! You'll feel like a king
The ruler of the world
One more! You'll feel like a god
Just before you're swirled
One... more... time...
You see the light that gives you the warmth
You pray, you beg, but no one can hear
The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever ger back home, now you know it too
What is the secret?
The power you're insanely driven by?
And what is the source
That makes you think that you can fly?
One more! You'll feel like a king
The ruler of the world
One more! You'll feel like a god
Just before you're swirled
7. Down With Me
Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love
Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are
For thousands of years
I have seen how man's been creating his own hell
Been wondering about the human race
And the ways they brought themselves down
I've never shed a tear
For the one that slowly killed himself
And never looked ahead
I will come when the time is right
Just to make another one
Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
I'll break every dream you've ever had
And make your life so, so sad
Make your life so sad
Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love
Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are
I call your name
I tease you, I tame
I hold out my helping hand
You're first in line
I'll give you the sign
That's written in stone and sand
Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
Come closer my friend
And don't be afraid
I'll take care of you and your dreams
Now the wise men are dead
Forget what's been said
Because nothing is what it seems
Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
No one will ever be free
8. Face in the Mirror
Time after time
We hear the world's cry
No matter how we try
We're always one step behind
This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger
You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light
We are weakened by the virus
There's nothing we can feel
If this will be our last song
I welcome you to the real
This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger
You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light
9. Solid Ground
Don't know about the future
Don't know about the past
Clinging to life like
Each day was by last
Out of the cold
I've searched every corner
I've walked every way
Given up my mind
Just to see a new day
Out of the cold
Into the fire
I'm on the run
From what I don't know
And I'm going nowhere
I'm on the run
Trying to find some shelter
I'm looking for solid ground
I am coming home
I'm done running around
Longing for warmth
And your solid ground
Out of the cold
Into the fire
I'm on the run
From what I don't know
And I'm going nowhere
I'm on the run
Trying to find some shelter
I'm looking for solidground
10. The Source
As tired as I am
What keeps me going on?
Exhausted by anxious
I push until dawn
...until dawn
So what is the price
That I'll have to pay?
And where is the place I can finally stay?
And find my own peace
Oh, I open my arms and take it all
Higher
My mind's flying higher
Above all of my hopes
Fire
That feeds my desire
The fuel for my mind
The everlasting source
As long as I breathe
I live
As long as I live
I give
And take what belongs to me
Oh, I open my arms and take it all
Higher
My mind's flying higher
Above all of my hopes
Fire
That feeds my desire
The fuel for my mind
The everlasting source
11. Great Man Down
Another great man is gone
But his songs will live forever
And they'll never die
For decades he carved
His words in our hearts
The master, the legend now lies
With honour and pride
He walked through his life
Sometimes it was far too hard
He stood like a man
Defending his land
Got beaten, rejected, got scarred
Anothert great man is down
Only hero around
The soldier of our times
Never listened, never cared
For the words that they said
So he paid for his crimes
These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories where heroes will never die
These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories and songs
Where the great one will always rise
Another man, brave and tall
He took care of us all
Never bent under pressure or pain
With a heart like the sun
He stood tall and wouldn't run
Away from the wind and the rain
There are the stories and songs...
So the story goes on
And years go by
That's for sure
Memories will live forever
And we'll be singing along
