1. Disaster 121 My god, tell me why? What a summer bloody summer I’m raging as I listen to the ignorants and fools who try to Justify the unjustifiable, tortured sinners “licking” all the way to the top As we’re crushing and burning Our bodies’ soul will haunt you now Solo: George Here the new travel faster ironic disaster, the world is a-changing And we can’t decide if we’re gonna be there with the rest of the world Or “mediocracy” will rule our hearts and our souls Wow! Hear the relatives mourning And you’re sensing now the tiny breeks of hate When the feeling’s strong we will never forget this Now go searching for your moaning bits of fate Will the government do nothing? Will they find the courage to for once Be fair and square? Now we ‘re all discovering the money’s sweeting taste As we’re burning… our bodies’ soul will haunt you forever! Into the black! Solo: George Middle part Solo: Socrates - Socrates and Antonis together Still waiting for the justice to be done They deserve to rot and die behind the bars But now we see a line of rotten “eastern” ways They try to blame it on the ones who are now dead This bloody crime is for all the world to see Do you think that you are fooling you and me? As we’re burning… tis is deception this is… (121) Solo: George Here the news travel faster ironic disaster, the world is a-changing And we can’t decide if we’re gonna be there with the rest of the world Or “mediocracy” will rule our hearts and our souls For the ones who have died just a moment of silence And those who in the future will blame it on the pilot We have to be there with the rest of the world We will never forget you, you’ll always be loved With our hearts and our souls! ________________________________ 2. Broken World Young girl makes the wrong decision, waves goodbye to chase vision Now she’s lying soulless in a ditch of blood TV plays the same ol’ story, half the world is judge and jury The only place where losers get to be kings and queens Wandering madness, millions of freaks Politics are making me sick! Rotten priests with fake beliefs, using god for their own needs I’m wondering if I’m ever gonna be “right of soul” Now we feed on ethnicism, racist man, concervatist And even rating show we don’t want anymore peace, just war! Wandering madness, we’re losing control Father I want you to know that there are… Chains around, accept defeat, a broken world, a world to keep Shout my name, change the world, fate is burning in your bed (faith is burning in your bed) Solo: Socrates A man in the fields of war, a man in the fields you wanted A man who will die alone, tell me, is it what you wanted? All my life I’ve been waiting for you to see that the world isn’t black-woven tapestry Chains around, accept defeat, a broken world, a world to keep Shout my name, change the world, fate is burning in your bed (faith is burning in your bed) ________________________________ 3. Lonely Gods A not-too-distant future The sun sheds his final hue The awe and splendor of the past is since long overdue I sat and watched him die away Tracing reflections from the past For that elusive thing the ancients have relished But… Numbers, empty figures swarm my head I’m filled with educated lies The colors bleed to darkness The sum of practicle and wave My own agenda of pretension has made me a slave A sudden gleam of insight Then I finally realize The page had never only one side Solo: Socrates A not-too-distant future The sun sheds his final hue A tiny jolt of guilty bliss and the moment is gone I sat and watched him die away Tracing reflections from the past For that elusive thing the ancients have relished But… Numbers, empty figures swarm my head I’m filled with educated lies Confident in semi-ignorance Fear and yearning in disguise ________________________________ 4. Once upon a Crime This is for the politicians, their words are making me sick I feel that they’re taking commission for every man they kill Promises, promises fading just like the dust in the wind Still, the battle is raging and strips the fire off me Changes are coming, riots in the streets What we’re becoming is relics of disease Now they’re running away and hiding to a new place to continue lying They are the remnants of war, they’re possessing you and “caressing” you Now you’ve got to believe them That they are really there for our own good? Brothers in war, partners in crime Do you want losers to represent you? Is this their grand design? It’s more like they’re there to offend you, there’s no hope for our mankind Changes are coming, riots in the streets What we’re becoming is relics of disease Now they’re running away and hiding to a new place to continue lying They are the cowards of war, they’re possessing you and “caressing” you Now you’ve got to believe them (why don’t you take a hike! End of the show!) Brothers in war, partners in crime Solo: Socrates - Antonis Bringers of the show, they’re just the bringers of hope I’m wondering if they’ll ever gonna keep this together Now don’t get me wrong they want to show you the world But from their own view (tell me what’s the plan? Is it to stay there forever?) ________________________________ 5. Crossroads Welcome stranger to a world of make-believe If you want to say, there’s a price to pay I’m watching people all night long, I can show places you’ve never seen You’ll live and breathe for love There’s just one way for dreams to come true You give me what I want from you Give me your soul, feel no regrets That’s the only way my pet! Now you’re mine, you can’t escape from your own dream Rumors of a fiery hell are just a fairytale Don’t try to live, it is too late to save your soul There is no escape, in hell you’ll burn There’s just one way for dreams to come true You give me what I want from you Give me your soul, feel no regrets That’s the only way my pet! Solos: Socrates Betrayed our ways for dreams to come true You give me what I want from you Deep in our hearts it’s just an empty shell By the tolling of the bell ________________________________ 6. God's Children I’m telling you this story because I don’t know what to do without the cross (and it’s driving me mad) Fire! Losing control, I run in an age when I’m fiercely on strong, gather them round Show em your god… You tell me there’s a god now but you’re acting like there ain’t Are you sure you’re going to heaven? Cause I think you’re going to hell! Fire! Losing control, I run in an age when I’m fiercely on strong gather them round Show em your god… Out of this world there’s a god, out in the streets in our soul And he’s watching us all from above, time’s fading faster Solo: George Father, mother, gather, round up your siblings and faster, run run faster Following the pastor into your disaster! ________________________________ 7. The Young Ones This time it has gone too far, we can’t go on like this A misunderstanding is all you need to press the button of war You don’t care for us cause you’re not the ones who fight You’re just longing for the fruit of your “deals” Waiting for your sons to return alive, you leave em to fight it alone And you drink in your room while the young ones die The young ones have to pay And they sleep in their tomb while their mothers cry Still the young ones have to pay We’re troopers of war, we roll into the fire We’re masters of this world We’re sending our grateful children to war, now let’s rock n’ roll! What a joke! Fuck you very much! You been feeding off our patriotism We’re disarming you now You have to be the ones to believe us when we’re turning to dust And you drink in your room while the young ones die The young ones have to pay And they sleep in their tomb while their mothers cry Still the young ones have to pay You just watch em falling but your eyes seem so closed and you watch us falling but your heart is harder than a rock Solo: Antonis I’m sick and tired! We’re down on our bleeding knees Smile at the camera, you’ll be on the news After the report of the burning trees! Who’s gonna say “I’m sorry” for the ones Who died for freedom of speech War is on again! Look at your children They’re jumping in the fire alone And you drink in your room while the young ones die The young ones have to pay And they sleep in their tomb while their mothers cry Still the young ones have to pay ________________________________ 8. Will to Live How do I try to change my life? After all I’ve tried There is no hope to make it right, ain’t got no strength to fight Ain’t got no heart, ain’t got no wings, all left is suicide In my last moments I look to the past and I break down and cry I beg for help, I pray to god but there’s no reply My destiny has made me worthless, all left for me is to die I stand on the edge, I close my eyes, I think of heaven up in the sky While leaving a false world full of lies My soul will find a place to rest, oh lord forgive me, I failed the test But suicide seems the best Suddenly a flash of light tears out the sky Deafening voices break the fearful silence that hurts I am dreaming or is this reality? As I’m lying down I hear a strong voice saying these words: Nobody’s lost and nobody’s lost and nobody’s bad, nobody’s born to lose and die Maybe luck wasn’t on your side but maybe it’s you who gave up the try Death will not free you, suicides’ for those who have no mind Make a new start, don’t look behind Got to find the strength, go to find it Where is your heart, where is your faith? To fight the fight and seize the suffering Nothing ends so simply in life, it’s up to you to break the devil’s chains The sun still shines, go back and look what you’ve done wrong Rise up and raise your fist be strong Solo: Antonis-Socrates Alone (lonely) in the darkness of the night Like a blind man searching for light You still have hopes that make you believe That there’s a way out of despair (you can make it to the end) Patience and courage lead you there Cause deep inside you got a will to live Got to find the strength, got to find it ________________________________ 9. The End (Ashes of Desire Pt.1) Dedicated to the one that I love, dedicated to the one that I need Dedicated to the ashes of the ones that died Wondering if it’ll ever gonna make you see This song I’m singing is my crying shame Dedicated to the angels above, spirits fading in the hourglass Take control, don’t let the mourning bend you on your knees Wondering if your children gonna learn to hate Look at me, feel no shame There is no love, there’s only hate now It’s all for show, yeah we’ve lost it in the end Eternal sorrow, it’s the world upon your shoulders And now this girl is lost She was sad like the desert moon, an angel smile of a joyous Looks upon me from the gardens of paradise Sometimes through the mirror she is dressed in white Embraces me and tells me “it’ll be alright” He was fading right in front of our eyes, always giving unconditional love All I remember is the image of the nicest man I’m wondering if he’s watching over me at night Every time I’m lost and need a guiding light This is our eternal farewell! There is no hope, there’s only pain now Because we all must accept that there is death Eternal sorrow, it’s the world upon your shoulders Value your family and friends, you might lose them in a split second of rage Dedicated to the sun and the moon, the guardians of creation Who are challenging the spirit of doom to keep them safe I’m watching the fire in you Solo: Socrates There is no love, there’s only hate now It’s all for show, yeah we’ve lost it in the end Eternal sorrow, it’s the world upon your shoulders Solo: George And I wonder is this the end? I’m watching the sun devour the land, the spirits ascending The birds and the trees, the life that we see surrenders to us all ________________________________ 10. Pro Defunctis Tell me why do you cry darling? Silence falls in the mind Pages pallid with time Tell me why do you cry? As the candle burns and withers a way You trace the hardened drops of life blood Why do you cry Fret and deny? Muster your faith In love in life For ever Tell me why do you cry my darling? Don’t you know time will bring Both the fall and the spring Like a tear in the rain Withered rose on a grave Forgotten Filled with joy and with bliss Seek for ever the kiss Of fragrance In distress and in need Don’t forget that you bleed The future Why do you cry? Raise your hands high And let them pray… ________________________________ 11. Pro Defunctis (Alternate Version) Tell me why do you cry darling?
