Fluffer 01:16
Fluffer Words that cling like whiffs of shit Untold truths rearranged to fit Never hunt what you can’t kill Feed the rats then break them to your will It’s so fucked up, you wash your hands, they bathe in blood No one cares or gives a shit Their fates are already decided Creditors of sustained demise You’ll reap the tremor of their tormented lives it’s so fucked up, you wash your hands, they bathe in blood kneel and accept what’s coming to you

Short songs rock my world Exit wound There’s a time for talking and there are times when it’s no use On the road to nowhere figure out which way to choose Once I felt devotion, I don’t feel it anymore I’m more disillusioned than I ever was before Take a look around/at me, words cannot disguise, from where I stand I stand alone It’s fading right before me, where has the ambition gone? If the storm is over what’s the point of carrying on? Something in me died and it comes with such a loss The true paradise is always the one that you have lost Take a look around/at me, words cannot disguise, from where I stand I stand alone

Run With The Hunted force-fed, it is never enough, I have only resentment left for your will to oblige, your unchallenged surrender Is this all there is to life? Run with the hunted Is this all we’re living for? The daily sedation it’s the art of dying in a world that’s dead - the art of dying slow a lifetime spent on your knees, you just wait it out instead of justifying your pointless existence Is this all there is to life? Run with the hunted Is this all we’re living for? The daily sedation it’s the art of dying in a world that’s dead - the art of dying Make it count

Days Of Rage 02:48
Days of rage There was no one else when you crossed the line to hell just you behind a wall of contempt Behold the legacy, it’s a fucking tragedy the voices that you oppress won’t fade away Spring in Syria, days of rage Protesters pay in blood for the war they waged No turning back for you, these are the last days Spring in Syria, a regime falls It’s taking down with it ten thousand lives No turning back for you, these are the last days of rage Just how fucking long until justice will be served?

No One There 02:13
No one there One life free of god, free of guilt, free of failure One choice, no sign of Christ, a nil report Do I have to spell it out? There is no one fucking there They nailed into your head that self-determination is devil’s work Live the life you want to live, no one fucking watches you Live the life you want to live, don’t fool yourself, there’s no one there A dissenting opinion in a life littered with frustration Let’s try to break the chains just to see if we can Those chains were always there, a guarantee that you comply That’s the thing they don’t tell you, we live under their thumb Resist the mad men’s dream of unrestrained authority Live the life you want to live, no one fucking answers you Live the life you want to live, don’t be afraid, there’s no one there Live the life you want to live, emancipate, stay in control

Nichts Ist Vergessen Einigkeit, Recht und Freiheit für den, der sie verdient Abschied fällt nur bei Freunden schwer – deshalb lauf Und ich trag das mit mir rum, nichts ist vergessen Wie eine Wunde die nie heilt, die Geschichte endet hier Und die Wände kommen näher, nehmen Platz wo keiner ist Ich bin mir nicht mehr sicher, ob es jemals anders war Dieser Abriss der Gesellschaft vollzieht sich noch einmal Knappe 20 Jahre später, so als hätte ich die Wahl Nichts ist vergessen Nicht, dass du glaubst, die Geschichte endet hier...

Welcome to your homicide Shouldn’t we defend what‘s left of our liberty? Forever unpacified - welcome to your homicide Shouldn’t we eliminate the possibility of the next trigger happy cop losing the plot? Forever unpacified - welcome to your homicide We’re standing on opposing sides, welcome to your homicide Leave nothing behind but a display of revolt, a showcase of broken hands, a sickening reminder of the past “Serve and protect” an empty pledge of disrespect, a bullet in your head for your own protection, you get what you give, the great dividing line We don’t negotiate with terrorists
