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

In this world
Order can be maintained by fear alone
But this order is disorder
Where power is given to the fools
In this kingdom of the blind
The one-eyed man has to hide
Jealousy, envy, selfishness and greed
Turn brothers to enemies
Man has mastered killing
The switch has been turned on
The button has been pushed
On the death machine
Offering yourself
As a living sacrifice
On the altar of fear
Lying paralyzed
Man has mastered killing
The switch has been turned on
The button has been pushed
On the death machine
"All the advantages that man has gained from his ever-deepening understanding of the natural world that surrounds him, his technological, chemical and medical progress, all of which should seem to alleviate human suffering... tends instead to favor humanity's destruction"

Breathing corpses infest the land
Their numbers seem to grow by the hour
Victims of rulers unleashing lies
Fear, terror and deceit
Weapons of mass destruction
Some kill the body, others the soul and mind
Engaging the process to turn
Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde
Am I still alive
When I feel like lying among the dead
I can hardly breath
As the stench of the deceased fills up the air
Watch people going out of their minds
Gladly throwing their lives away
Paying a fortune to their killers
And thanking for the opportunity
Am I still alive
When I feel like lying among the dead
I can hardly breath
As the stench of the deceased fills up the air
This earth is a
This earth is a
This earth is a
This earth is a mass grave
I desire an awakening
The resurrection of the dead
The revival of humanity
The re-birth of a dying race
A new heart pumping new blood
A breath of fresh air
The reign of terror ended
The once scorched earth fertile…
Again!

We’ve started the process
We’ve created a god
Worshipped by the masses
Is this the end of times?
This new deity is hungry
It needs sacrifice
Giving up our free will
We threw away our minds
We were born into
The age of information
Yet the knowledge we possess
Is becoming less and less with time
We are living in
The age of space travel
Still we are closed
In the tiny little world of our own selves
We have built a throne
For the ones that tread us down
For the sake of comfort
We’re becoming slaves
Our brains are washed out
Still we’re so unclean
Functioning as numb machines
As we’re growing cold within
We were born into
The age of information
Yet the knowledge we possess
Is becoming less and less with time
We are living in
The age of space travel
Still we are closed
In the tiny little world of our own selves
Break the bonds
Free your mind
Get back what is yours!

Terror
Plant it in the hearts
Murder
Hide nothing from the eyes
Disaster
Feeding on the pain of the
Victims
Merchants of death
Distorted mirror
Contorted minds
Shoving your views
Down the throat
Ignorance
Neglect the facts that don’t
Support
The “truth” you would present
Distorted mirror
Contorted minds
Shoving your views
Down the throat
You bring division
To the homes
I see your hooves
See your horns

In the last days scoffers will come
Following their own evil desires
Listening to what their itching ears
Want to hear
Turning their ears away
From the truth
In the last days there will be terrible times
People will be lovers of themselves, not lovers of the good
Swayed by all kinds of
Evil desires
Always learning but never able to
Acknowledge the truth
Be on your guard
And do not fall
Be prepared
All the time
Be an instrument
Of righteousness
Men of depraved minds
Acting for the sake of dishonest gain
Deceivers who must be
Silenced
Who have wandered away
From the truth
Be on your guard
And do not fall
Be prepared
All the time
Be an instrument
Of righteousness
Compete according
To the rules

Dreamers, polluting their own bodies
Shepherds who feed only themselves
Clouds without rain, blown along by the wind
Autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted
Twice dead
Wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame
Wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved
For ever
Woe to them!

False prophets who
Secretly introduce
Destructive heresies
Bringing swift destruction
On themselves
Do not follow their shameful ways
Don’t bring the way of truth
Into disrepute
Greedy teachers
Their condemnation
Has been long
Hanging over them
Their destruction
Has not been sleeping
Blackest darkness
Is reserved for them
They are like brute beasts,
Creatures of instinct
Experts in greed
An accursed brood
Springs without water
Mists driven by a storm
Greedy teachers
Their condemnation
Has been long
Hanging over them
Their destruction
Has not been sleeping
Blackest darkness
Is reserved for them

Devon - Walking in Lines

Day in, day out
Another line in the book of your life
Carry the burdens
Your shoulders are numb under the weight of your lies
There is no goal before us, we're just going blind
Don't say a word, just follow the sign
No purpose, still we're walking in lines
Endless pressure
No time to stop, you have to go on
Blurring pictures
No one in sight, you feel all alone
There is no goal before us, we're just going blind
Don't say a word, just follow the sign
No purpose, still we're walking in lines
We fight with no cause or hope for a prize
Closing your eyes
Not to see the blinding darkness
Shutting your ears
To avoid the deafening silence
You try to escape the truth
But it surely won't miss you
The only question is
If it will heal or destroy you

Devon - Stand or Fall
03:15

All of a sudden you're out in the light
Welcome to a world that does not want you alive
Childhood's gone fast, now you're on your own
The field is around you, the lines are drawn
Life is no game, not just a show
Do what you will, but you reap what you sow
You've tried it alone so many times
Try after try, won't you realize
You'll never make it until you see
Strength is in numbers, unity's the key
Join our ranks, together we're strong
We know the way, you can come along
Will you heed the call?
Will you stand or fall?
The choice is in your hands
You've got to understand
When your heartbeat's heard no more
When you're passing through that door
The disguises that you wore
Will be easy to ignore
Where will you stand
When you face the end
What will you meet
Victory or defeat
Will you heed the call?
Will you stand or fall?
The choice is in your hands
You've got to understand
Stripped and naked you will stand
Too late to realize
Your life you've built on sand
False promises, white lies
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
