hard reign

i am awake but i keep my eyes wide shut
'cause when i open my eyes
another nightmare begins
feel the heavy burden pushing down - down on me
a nation of neglect
an absence of mind

tortured by this rage inside i resist this hard reign
crushing your supremacy in the end i won't be beat
empty promises they served me
cracking heads on me
it's a vicious path to get past
this self-destructive state

no more mental dead end streets
the only solution you offered me
throughout all these years
indefensible conditions that eat my soul
standards and principles you set
just watered down

i'm creeping
i'm starving
i'm bleeding
i still live

a tortured man in a tortured world
goin through punishment
this hard reign pulling strings
so as long as this state remains
my suffering keeps repeating

test of time

this life's a test of time

you had to endure
too many letdowns in the past years
you're gasping for life
fear the hands of fate grabbing for your neck
you feel the sands of the hourglass
are running thin for you
this cruel world wants to see you fail at this test of time

people say life is just a game - it is a war
you have to suffer and return harder than before

how much does it take
fo reclaim what once was yours
follow your animal instincts
and take it back where it belongs
all this shattered goals
all these broken dreams
reinforce your will your strength
rise up and you will pass this test of time

people say life is just a game - it is a war
you have to suffer and return harder than before

test of time

suffer - harder - growing - stronger
it's a neverending cycle - a test of time

expect the arrival

empires rise and empires fall

and once again we've been betrayed by them all

too many crowns for too many kings

madmen execute their deathly plans

false prophets yelling on every side

preaching that salvation lies beyond our reach

humanity's doomed that's for sure

i hear prayers in these world`s coldest nights

i feel their misery but it won't get the best of...

in the end i realized and must confess

we are pieces of a puzzle called life and death

survival of the fittest get rid of the weak

it's the old greed of gain they want to feed

false prophets yelling on every side

preaching that salvation lies beyond our reach

humanity is doomed that's for sure

i hear prayers in these world`s coldest nights

i feel their misery but it won´t get the best of me

there's no man in the sky we can beg to save us now

WORK HARD - EARN NOTHING - DIE YOUNG - ARRIVAL

this is the brave man's destiny

wasted too much time on a fantasy

that in the end we'll get what we deserve

as broken souls we will arrive

our future home cold endless fields

meaningless tombstones witness our existence

the day we are born a grave has been excavated

this is the brave man's destiny

wasted too much time on a fantasy

that in the end we'll get what we deserve

as broken souls we will arrive

a deathtrip called life

carved into stone

names replaced by numbers

we're going home

a new salvation

six feet deep

this is our arrival

become free
