Breaking loose from reality surrounding me Keeping you bonded in my imagination Drifting away within the limits of consciousness Falling in sleep with memories you left for me
Throwing all away Meaningless words Nothing left Inside me
Restless dream stiring up in my head Shakes up my sweaty body from torture Waking up in empty room filled with dark Asking myself will this reality never end?
[Chorus:] Where are you, my wealth of life? Vanity filling my mind Hole in me in distress Who will fill up my Hollow Heart?
Please god never let me fall asleep Make me real -keep away from my imagination Dishearten mind -still looking for another answer Hopeless act -action speak louder than words
Throwing all away Meaningless words Nothing left Inside me
[Chorus:]
2. Swamphell
Watery rubber boots On the field of moss Inside the boots weary legs Of the man I always meet
Swamp full of mist Icy embrace Nothing left of Sense of direction
[Chorus:] Swamphell Kill me, let me sink in your lap
Once was the air crystal clear Secular joys were so near Glory days have left behind Swamplord calls now misty mind
Swamp full of mist Icy embrace Nothing left of Sense of direction
[Chorus:]
When there is nothing left on the surface And the wind is blowing slow Under the carpet of moss Finally I meet my Swamplord
3. Principle Hero
See him on Tv-screen doing the rightest thing Always being at the top of our blessed nation With white smile in his face he lives on the fat of the land And he makes you feel sarcastic
Feel him stuck in your brain and in your every move He is showing you the way what to do So raise your inner voice wipe the smile off his face Let your feelings rise and decide
[Chorus:] Principle Hero Mindless Zero Principle Hero Mindless Zero Principle Hero
[Chorus:]
4. Human Fates
A man on the corner with glassy look Telling a story of his lifetime A thousand times told, desperate verse But never listened
Another on by the bar talking to a barmaid Has spent his whole life there A naively trusting man never faced life Or has just found Eldorado Life is nothing but a gift...
[Chorus:] Poor human fates Pure human fakes No human rights The underrated
The third one by the table never said a word Gazing into the distance The observer, melancholic man Just drinking heavily
Not very old but still a veteran Has lost his thread of life In god-forsaken place they are the family And they are at home Life is nothing but a gift...
[Chorus:]
Use of education is not complete solution Now it is time to look in the mirror
[Chorus:]
5. They Will Return
Rhythm of wings in the sky so high Music in my ears I can't wait to see I' m hiding in the grass death in my hands Surprise is my only defence
My private war against wilderness Human mastermind versus animal instinct And when the flock settles I pass my sentence But none will die after the report
They rise into the air and fly away
[Chorus:] But they will return And I am all alone Yeah, they will return Then I will revenge
[Chorus:]
Still some day I'm hiding again Waiting for the sound of stroking wings And they will come spirit within And in same place I miss them again
They rise into the air And fly away Yeah, they rise into the air But...they will return!
6. Kill the Idealist
A pioneer of humanity Declaring his truth to the crowd Word of wisdom is what he speaks Wisdom he has never reached
A well-educated know-it-all But never has done anything Collects info from sources The vice man has left behind
[Chorus:] Kill the idealist Get him a job Kill the agitator Capital rules the world
So let him found a labour On his own certain conditions And try to heal society Without support
[Chorus:]
7. The Blind Leader
A man -highest in rank Always commands Obeys the will Of the mighty word
Wealth is all he wants to reach Don' t give a damn to our land
[Chorus:] He cannot see what is happening in our world Our system falls by his hand Conqueror' s end
With toxic waste master creates Catastrophies that lead to the end
A biowar man never can win Technology his only reward
[Chorus:]
Twisted creation of mankind
[Chorus:]
8. My Nation
Waves of change creep over promised land We have gathered in our secret stand Time has come for us to carry through the plan The bond of oppression have to be unchained
[Chorus:] Those in power - overthrown - revolution - found my nation
So my brother raise your scimitar Join our legion in the name of god Together as one we will fight till the end Oppressive despots will be sent to hell
[written by Dave Mustaine, originally performed by Megadeth]
I had wrists donning slits Flowing constantly My broken body in a wreck Wrapped around a tree A crosswalk hit and run The finish line for me People clutter in the gutter Take a look and see
[CHORUS] No escaping pain You belong to me Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth
My blood flows through the streets Deluge from the wounds Empty jars of sleeping pills On the dresser in my room My wet brain neighbor cranes His neck to see in time The white light's a train Bearing down on me
[CHORUS]
I won't feel the hurt I'm not trash any longer That that doesn't kill me Only makes me stronger I need a ride to the morgue That's what 911 is for So, tag my toe and don't forget Ooh to close the drawer
