Balance Of Power
04:45

You know that he's got the power to beat you
But he can feel the cold of your blade against his back
It's pointing to the void where the spine is supposed to be
The only movement now is breathing in and out
Neither of you dares to take the first step
Afraid of the consequences of the smallest mistake
Still, like one frame in a stop-motion picture
He who endures wins and can dictate
Still, like one frame in a stop-motion picture
Waiting for the other to lose their strength
When will this morbid dance end
When can you finally sit back and relax
When can you leave behind the fear and insecurity
When can you move forward without constantly watching your back
Beat the enemy
Without suffering
Irrecoverable loss
Still, like one frame in a stop-motion picture
He who endures wins and can dictate
Still, like one frame in a stop-motion picture
Waiting for the other to lose their strength
Waiting for this cold war to end

Reign Of Terror
04:32

The grinding course of life takes its toll
This fragile world of ours is out of control
The crushing force of death stands at the door
As we hate each other and fight in senseless wars
Day after day we take precious lives
Brother against brother, the blood of Abel cries
Thirsty for blood, we’re killing our kind
Don’t count the cost, we’re losing our minds
Hatred begets only hatred
Violence gives birth to violence
Blaming each other for the wrongs that have been made
While the real enemy is hiding behind the schemes
Posing as a savior, spreading evil lies
The great deceiver, mankind’s demise
It won’t be long until you meet our demand
Your reign of terror is coming to an end
Posing as a savior, spreading evil lies
The great deceiver, mankind’s demise
It won’t be long until you meet our demand
Your reign of terror is coming to an end
Hatred begets only hatred
Violence gives birth to violence
Hatred begets only hatred
Violence gives birth to violence

“Human aggression is instinctual. Humans have not evolved any ritualized aggression inhibiting mechanisms to ensure the survival of the species. For this reason man is considered a very dangerous animal” /Konrad Lorenz/
Feel the blood boiling in your veins with excitement
Your conscience steps back as your instincts take the control
The words from your mouth ring hollow to my ears
Conceived in a rotten mind, so stiff and cold
You’re claiming that you have the answers
But you don’t even listen to the questions
You’re on a downward spiral, losing all control
Faster and faster on a suicide drive
The words from your mouth ring hollow to my ears
Conceived in a rotten mind, so stiff and cold
You’re claiming that you have the answers
But you don’t even care for the questions
The fuse is burning
The countdown has begun
Do you dare to face the final outcome?
Kill it if it bleeds
No mercy for the weak
The brutal beast has been unleashed
You make planet earth a place of fear and distrust
As I look at you my heart gets filled with disgust
The words from your mouth ring hollow to my ears
Conceived in a rotten mind, so stiff and cold
You’re claiming that you have the answers
But you don’t even listen to the questions

Scorced Earth Policy
04:53
|
|

You’ve always tended to hate the ones
Who tell you the truth you don’t want to hear
It’s easy to pass a quick judgment
On the ones that do not have a share in your fears
Are you afraid of reality?
It’s the only thing that can set you free
Are you afraid of freedom
From the bounds that set your direction
Seeing yourself from the outside
Can be a shocking, unpleasant sight
When the picture is not distorted by
The excuses of your cheating mind
You fell when vanity
Took the place of sanity
You’ll never be able to stand again
Until you dare to face the fear within
Your scorched earth policy
Shocks and scars the heart in me
Lookin’ ‘round among the victims
Of your vile, merciless schemes
Never forget to remember
Who you were and what you’ve become
Always keep in mind
What you learnt and what it cost
Live for the ones
Who need you the most
Die to yourself
Don’t refuse to pay the cost
You fell when vanity
Took the place of sanity
You’ll never be able to stand again
Until you dare to face the fear within

Distorted visions
From ruthless minds
One is bad, the other worse
Or the other way around
Too much power
Concentrated on both sides
The balance is hanging
On a tread
You are gambling with other people’s lives
In this game no one will ever win a prize
Victory is out of the question
It’s a lose-lose situation
Complete annihilation
Driving fast on a path that leads to nowhere
You say that it’s the price we pay for progress
Waiting for the wind to change
To bring us peace and the end of your reign
Gone are the days of all or nothing (all or nothing)
Both of you’re just making it nothing for us all
Gone are the days of all or nothing (all or nothing)
Both of you’re just making it nothing for us all
Shoot first, ask questions later
Or don’t ask at all
Take no prisoners this time
You need no witnesses left alive
You are gambling with other people’s lives
In this game no one will ever win a prize
Victory is out of the question
It’s a lose-lose situation
Complete annihilation
The field is ripe for the harvest
You are gambling with other people’s lives
In this game no one will ever win a prize
Victory is out of the question
It’s a lose-lose situation
Complete annihilation
Driving fast on a path that leads to nowhere
You say that it’s the price we pay for progress
Waiting for the wind to change
To bring us peace and the end of your reign
Gone are the days of all or nothing (all or nothing)
Both of you’re just making it nothing for us all
Gone are the days of all or nothing (all or nothing)
Both of you’re just making it nothing for us all

The Iron Curtain
03:40

Isolate yourself from those you used to call friends
You’re surrounded by servants who will cut your throat when you fall
After an offence no apology heard from you
You feel the void but arrogance stands in the way
Let’s put an end to this separation
Let’s put our weapons on the ground
Let the iron curtain fall
It’s time to look in the mirror and face what you’ve become
It’s time to accept the hand that’s reaching out for you
Let’s put an end to this separation
Let’s put our weapons on the ground
Let’s mend the wounds we cut by our words and actions
Let the ruin be undone
Let the iron curtain fall
Let the iron curtain fall
