TO RESIST FATALITY LYRICS
"Demo 2004" (2004 Demo)
1. Mephistophelean Scanvengers
2. Called to Create
3. Seduced to Majority
1. Mephistophelean Scanvengers
Sensitive to every fragile place
Hot spots of potential injury
They scent out the blood
Of the soul
I
Mephistophelean Scavengers on their hunt
II
Penetrated are their minds by teaching aggressively imposed on them
Never subjected to reflection
Never transcending the narrow room of their doctrine
Strained to “love thy neighbor” they proselytize
Seemingly by chance
Yet systematically
III
Self-determination – does it mean anything to them?
Reason’s infancy – sheltered in a false haven
This sobering profanity
Within times of profundity
Apparitions so trustworthy
Janus-faced
Abusing others’ confidence
While considering themselves
Chosen and distinguished
2. Called to Create
We are inexhaustible sources of change
In a determined world, called to create – life from life!
Withstanding the lullabies and pacifiers that surround us
Resisting the inertia that keeps us from fulfilling freedom
Stupidity has numerous gravitational centers,
A few manage to fly
Called to create / Rising from lethargy and passivity
From Nothingness / Fighting forces that try to keep us down and kill our lives
Into the world / Gripping tightly the precious time that is now
The claims of live and love that urge us on
The infinite universes unleashed by will and dedication
This is the chance to alter conditions that repress us
We are called to create
Withstanding the lullabies and pacifiers that surround us
Resisting the inertia intending to keep us from fulfilling freedom
As mirrors of the mysteries of this world we roam
Shaking off the burdens that pull us back from humanity
Inspired, on fire, lest we forget our inquisitive instincts
Fighting forces that try to keep us down and kill our lives
Gripping tightly the precious time that is now
3. Seduced to Majority
“The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom.”
Ubiquitous presumptions
Of consumption
Landscapes of never-ending needs
Entire frameworks, designed and constructed
To serve the interests of a few
The directed, appeased, breed like on farms,
Completely conditioned
The incitement of a colossal soul production
Behind the façade of individuality
Swallowing the (clandestine) command – a poison for the self
Absorption of so many would-be rays of light
Every seller of drugs deserves more respect than they:
Pied pipers beyond accountability taking control
Baiting the masses
(The masses) drugged and voided
By their new opium
They drift within an infinite spiral of belongings
Beyond meaning, beyond use
Higher and higher, ever-more:
the wants for them to eat – never deeper
A truthful word of the mastersMight jeopardize the scheme
Early they start luring so that the young don’t slip
In service of malice – so appallingly keen
Man’s “first importance to his country is no longer that of citizen but that of consumer.”
