The Plague

Housewives with melon-sized tits are shouting
Rich teenage girls with no problems whining
Endless streams of stupid conformists
Broadcasting their lives filled with bullshit
Daddy pays for whatever you could wish for
Mommy’s designer tits, such a great mentor
Party hard, drink and dance
Your brain never really had a chance
Feel your intelligence drain out your ears
Drain while the whole society cheers
Feel your intelligence drain out your ears
Drain while the whole society cheers
Hide your feelings and play the game
Maybe you won't walk away in shame
Always try to resist temptation
Make sure the audience sees your frustration
Decieve your team and so called friends
Later you can make amends
Dramatize, brawl and shout
How dare society shut you out
Feel your intelligence drain out your ears
Drain while the whole society cheers
Feel your intelligence drain out your ears
Drain while the whole society cheers
You watch shows with no sense of direction
You follow non-existent plots with no objection
You watch shows with no sense of direction
You follow non-existent plots with no objection
Feel your intelligence drain out your ears
Drain while the whole society cheers
Feel your intelligence drain out your ears
Drain while the whole society cheers

Roadkill
03:05
|

I clench my fists in silent rage, inside I scream and shout
I feel like I am trapped inside a cage, I wonder what it’s all about
A part of life without progress, please let me on through
Full of anger, full of stress, I wish it all was untrue
Don't dare to cut in line, I feel frustration growing
I feel the chills going down my spine, these feelings keep on flowing
You don't want to fuck with me, you'll regret your last decision
I think that you will see, yourself in a really bad position
I’ll smash your fucking face
I’ll put you in your place
I’ll smash your fucking face
I’ll put you in your place
Get the fuck out of my way, be sure to keep your distance
I’ll find your ass someday, I’ll make you taste my persistence
I'm gonna beat you down, I want to watch you bleed
In your blood you'll drown, my anger will be freed
I’ll smash your fucking face
I’ll put you in your place
I’ll smash your fucking face
I’ll put you in your place

Justify
01:58
|

Everywhere you are you’re being watched
Your every word is being tracked
Justify your every action
Justify or be imprisoned
Until proven otherwise you’re guilty
In everyone’s eyes you’re filthy
Cameras follow your every move
To ensure your personal doom
Everybody gather around and prove your innocence
Judge for yourself what part of this makes sense
Careful of what you chose to accept
One wrong step and lose all your respect
Be careful with what you think and say
It can be used against you one day
Everywhere you are you’re being followed
Big brother lurks in the shadows
Fight for your right to speak your mind
Once completed things are hard to rewind
Brace yourself for what comes next
Don’t look back and be perplexed
Everybody gather around and prove your innocence
Judge for yourself what part of this makes sense
Careful of what you chose to accept
One wrong step and lose all your respect

Blind Devotion
03:41
|
|||
You devote your life to fairytales
Looking for any way to tip the scales
Trying to convince the almighty you're nice
Prepared to pay, any price
Lured with the promise of living forever
Saved through continuous endeavor
Blinded by horrors and fear
You feel you have to adhere
Follow the orders of your superior
They'll make sure you're always inferior
They'll make sure you always come back
Through your sense of honor and guilt they attack
Feel your knees weaken before your god
What can you do but just to nod
Do you really know what is being idolized
Your religion sure has you hypnotized
Down on your knees and pray
Pray so the pain goes away
Kneel so your sins are abolished
Kneel until your will to fight is demolished
Do you really know what you chase
Are you afraid of what you might face
Why do you close your mind
Are you scared of what you might find
You make sure you have a defense
So you can argue with common sense
All doubt in your mind is gone
So your superstition can live on
Everything you don't like you try to ban
Save as many souls as you can
Every other way of life you have to defeat
Cast your life away on deceit
Do you really know what you chase
Are you afraid of what you might face
Why do you close your mind
Are you scared of what you might find

Shades of Gray
02:48
|
|||
Deep in darkness, locked away
Never allowed a word to say
All unclear in the shades of grey
Faded, forced into decay
Buried in a fictional tomb
Imagine, the darkest of rooms
Slowly leading to endless gloom
Creeping towards our doom
Who knows what a modern man will do
Once there’s no guide to listen to
Forgotten for personal benefits
Cast into a bottomless pit
Making sure to maximize profits
Dragged deeper into mountains of shit
Hidden so no one can see
Never to be set free
Who knows what’s to be
Once we remove the chains of liberty
Who knows what a modern man will do
Once there’s no guide to listen to
