I don’t wanna be a lying soul
That thinks having better than the others is just another natural right Yeah I will tell the truth about my soul this time
No I don’t forget your beautiful packshots cover a lie

The better seems to be over the beyond of the better...
Seems we’re jamin’ outside and inside
Tear all ‘em up ! Tear all ‘em up !
My people... We are a lion
We ain’t got no better way
Mystifical dialectical cryptogamic blind speeches of Power...
I’ll stand against this !
What if they take their guns
Nowhere no return
So don’t say you were just following !
A lion has now been created
The beyond of the better
Seems images and words got no more sense...
Deathcode of humanity
Look up to the Skyes, to the Skyes man !
But, lookin’ down to your feet, if the lion is you, fierce punk,
Do not believe these words : O... A... A... Advertising... O... A... A...
Ah !
We attack a so-called better way of life
The better seems to be over the beyond of the better...
Seems we’re jamin day-time and night
Chew all ‘em up ! Chew all ‘em up !
My people’s unity is such a lion... No better way
Materialistical sexy-looking consumering engines of Power...
I’ll stand against this !
Yeah they’re opening fire
Nowhere no return
So don’t say you were just following !
A lion has now been created
The beyond of the better
Seems images and words got no more sense...
Deathcode of humanity
Look up to the Skyes, to the Skyes man !
But, lookin’ down to your feet, if the lion is you, fierce punk,
Do not believe these words : O... A... A... Advertising... O... A... A... A... A...
I... never believed in your gods
We... will never put faith in your idols
Jamin !
Freedom is my only way
The better seems to be over the beyond of the better...
Seems we’re jamin best times and bad times
Spit all ‘em out ! Spit all ‘em out !
My people was a lion... No better way
Financial egoistical greedy cryogenised cyber pigs of Power...
I’ll stand against this !
They shot ya with their guns
Nowhere no return
So you see you were not just...
Freedom is my only way
The better seems to be over the beyond of the better seems to be over the beyond of the better seems...
We’re jamin best times and bad times

Addicted to Love
04:14

Your endless legs are coming straight
Time for me to deliberate
If I shall approach you, play the clown
Or get frustrated like a hound
When Love comes to ya straight
No matter how much it takes
Make myself up today !
With no strings I sing the mellow ego sleight
Setting up flattery as an art of war
Try to please ya... And feel alright
Immature Peter Pan-complexed boy
Overspending seeming selfless attentions
Not just a ploy...
Cause if you would say you're not interested in me
It would be a blight
But if you girl could say how much you like me
I'd feel alright
I'm addicted to love
Since some times I'm always late
No more time to decorate
My place stinks of tobacco and grime
And now I complain all the time
When Love reveals its tricks too late
No matter how much it takes
Show up myself today !
When jealousy becomes your cell
Disappointment your empty bed
You begin acting like a mom
Failing to raise her only son
When you really feel engaged
No more passion to demonstrate
Keep myself up today !
With no strings I sing the lament ego sleight
Setting up bad romance as an art of war
Try to keep ya... And feel alright
Immature Peter Pan-complexed boy
Overspending obvious selflish intentions
Maybe just a ploy...
Cause if you would say you wanna move in with me
This would be a plight
But if you girl could just say you love me
I'd feel alright
Cause I'm addicted to... Love...
Cause when you will say you leave me
It will be such a respite
But if you girl could do it and say you still love me
I'd feel alright
Cause I'm ego-addicted to....
Love

Goodbye Summertime
04:15
|
|||
I'm not crying
I'm just shedding a tear
On the ashes of
The world that we have killed
I'm not whispering
I'm not even feeling worried
Cause as far as I know myself
We'll always need a little more
Way down inside
I'll carry on
Feels like I'm blind
I don't belong
I don't belong
Here...
I'm not crying
I'm just shedding a tear
On the burning ashes
Of the world that made us kill
I'm not whispering
I'm not even feeling a little worried
Cause the leaving of us all
Is nothing but a consequence
O O O O... Down inside
We'll carry on
But it feels like we're blind
We don't belong
We don't belong
Here...
I see Bahia... Bahia... Mensajens de amor,
Chegam na beira do mar
Since the beginning of summertime
We've been enjoying all the fruits of life
The merchant ships criss-crossing the ocean
Swine Men plundering earth's ressources for a dime
Since the making of summertime
Back south, we've been getting rid of all our slime
Bankers speculating on people's lives
Popes of Progress, oil peak deniers encouraging a seven billion people lie
Feels like crying
When we stop believing a lie
Feels like whispering
To your ears: "we're gonna die"
Midnight turning
What a wonderful world we were in
We just cannot control ourselves
Always wanna have a little more
Complaisant blinding
Never acting, but all decrying
Predator cravings
Deep inside
Midlife crisis
Last urge before the Fall
Goodbye summertime
Goodbye summertime... Winter is coming

It's so right

Life is a waste if you don't spend your time
Pride will smile to you as long as the sun shines
Buying the most expensive brands will make you look divine
Bunch of faked truths we should leave all behind
It's so right... It's so right...
Life is worth thinking about it twice
Pride is no better with make up and smile... So right
Buying things for their price is just buying a dream you cannot hide...
Meaningful thoughts I'd like to emphasize... So right
Living / your dream / unseen / will blow your mind... It's so right
But giving / your life / a price / will make you live a lie... And yet it's so right When so many times sweet honesty we all have left behind... It's so right Darkened idols are falling off the skyes... It's so right
Pretender or raven, all our choices going this way
The king or the lion, better look at it this way...
It's so right...
It's so right...
It's so right... Yeah it's so right...
Gold-painted horizons, idolatry, attraction, fame
The monkey's dominion
Consented slavery will go on this way
Until somebody says :
It's no right... acting this way
It's no right... please somebody say...
It's so right to stop living this way It's so right...
Stop living this way
It's so right...
Guess what is so right...
It's so right... It's so right...

Woman...
I gotta try
Try to explain how things got so bad
I was somewhere
Down on the street
But when I got back to the camp I found all my homies had been killed
So now...
I'm walking
Alone in the valley of death... I'm crossing My darkest fear... Misery...
Woman...
I gotta find
Find a way to tell ya how things got me to change my mind
Somehow
I have been wrong
With all the pieces of ya ya killed for me I made a gun
Woman...
All I could say :
Want it, take it, break it... Murdering your every breath
Someday
I chose to fight
With no father, with no beliefs, with no country I became a man
So now...
I'm walking
Alone in the valley of death... I'm falling... Down on my knees... Misery...
Please chain my hands
As a prayer can chain a man
Remembering back in the days is the insight
Of a young man that lied and stole so many times to get high
Several things I could have done to avoid that :
Respect it, give it, protect it... And be all right !
If I could go back in time before that one night
My two hands around your neck, so I could hear no more your prayers... My Killing hands, fighting against, smashing a beautiful woman's face again, Takin' me to the family / Takin' me to the bloody / Takin'me to the guilt
And I'm feeling back...
Home !
I'm drowning...
In your eyes again
Misery please break my hands
As a prayer can break a man
O... Woman...
Do you think a prayer can reveal a man to himself ?
Woman...
Cause now I know my life's always been in your hands...

You are in the air
Calling the day to rise
You are the holy bless
This soft embrace blooming outside
Love...
Your love is pure because it's not mine
Love...
Will stand any doubt... Do you believe in mine ?
You are a blade
But you could be a lie
You are the evil dance
The evidence rotting inside
Love...
Your love is filthy because it's not mine
Love...
Can't stand a doubt... Would you believe in mine ?
Still awake till comes the morning, I could not cry
I was chasing my love was a dream
So why should I try ?
Slept the whole day under the remains of an ancient time
Hard to find your self-esteem has burnt out in the light
I need to run away...
Love is a patriot act, love is a felony
The crystal-clearest most ambiguous kind you n' I will ever be
Some of us will cheat on the other, some of us will beg for mercy Tearing us apart from the love we wanna be
I love you, you don't love me, you love me but I don't care
It takes us to a point where the only agreement is despair
You love me, I don't love you, I love you but you don't care
It takes us to a place, a common ground of hate we would not spare Cause I was...
Still awake when came the morning, I had to find
I was selling your love for a dream
So why shall I cry ?
Slept the whole time beyond the worries of a true man's life
Hard to find a true love is made of all dreams stepped aside
I had to run away...
Love is a long gone day
Drowned in the waves of time
Love is the empty space
The anti-face making us fall in love again...
And rise...

Is there some kind of redemption
For a life that turned to hate ?
Can we still share hope in mornings
When saving grace has fade away ?
I was introduced to this lady
When I was young and illiterate
Yeah I was still a child, I was twenty (just twenty)
But her eyes were burning me
O... I'm burning... O...O...O...O...O...O... I'm burning
This lady had something special
She could read the future in your hand
Yet she was blind and misguiding
Deep in the dark she grabbed my hand
Spiritual sense of sorrow
Yeah she led me to a secret place
That night my future tasted like poison (sweet poison)
My heart would never feel the same
O... I'm bleeding... O...O...O...O...O...O... I'm bleeding

Lady...
Just another morning
Breaking in, blinding light
Burning... Bleeding...
The scattered cool shades in my life
Lady...
Just another morning
You failed to keep me stuck in the stars
Long is the day and slow is the tide
For a man dying to die !
Injecting myself with tears I've shedded
Dancing with the dead, drinking the night
Falling to the ground
No matter what you say, society,
I've never been able to play your dirty games
Some dreams I just can't kill and leave behind
But no spell will ever save a life that turned to hate...
Set on fire by your sun
My mornings have no pride, no glory, I'm lazy
Recollecting my humiliations, collecting them like a maniac, I'm crazy Lady, come n'come, come and fill it
Yeah I just want you to come, come and fill it
No I don't wan't you to come, come and feel it
My heart, I just beg you to come, come and feed it
Your love is lying, I can see in your eyes, I'm too easy...
I made an oath
To the unknown
Won't let her go
Until I'm gone
Short is the night
And fast is the tide
Just another night you drove me
Crazy but...
No spell will ever save a life that turned to hate...
Set on fire by your sun
My mornings have no pride, no glory, I'm lazy
Recollecting my humiliations, collecting them like a maniac, I'm crazy Lady, come n'come, come and fill it
Yeah I just want you to come, come and fill it
No I don't wan't you to come, come and feel it
My heart, I just beg you to come, come and feed it
Your love is lying, I can see in your eyes, I'm too easy...
Injecting myself with tears I've shedded
Dancing with the dead, drinking the night
Falling to the ground
No matter what you say, society,
I've never been able to play your dirty games
Some dreams I just can't kill and leave behind
But no spell will ever save a life that turned to hate...
These words are mine, but these could be the ones
Of the friends I have betrayed... Sick love is lazy
I've made people fall and I've fallen myself...
Addiction disease, feeling so crazy
Lady, come, n' come, come and fill it
Yeah I just want you to come, come and fill it
O no I don't wan't you to come, come and feel it
My heart, I just beg you to come !
Set on fire by your sun
My mornings have no pride, no glory, I'm lazy
Recollecting my humiliations, collecting them like a maniac, I'm crazy Lady, come n'come, come and fill it
Yeah I just want you to come, come and fill it
No I don't wan't you to come, come and feel it
My heart, I just beg you to come, come and feed it
Your love is lying, I can see in your eyes, I'm too easy...
Set on fire by your sun my mornings have no pride, no glory, I'm lazy Recollecting my humiliations, collecting them like a maniac, I'm too crazy Lady, come, n' come, come and fill it
Yeah I just want you to come, come and fill it
No I don't wan't you to come, come and feel it
My heart, I just beg you to come, come and feed it
O lady, you will come, come, come and fill it
Come n' come to feed me, nothing else needed
I just want you to come, come and fill it
No I don't wan't you to come, come and feel it
I'm now the stupid prey I didn't wanna play
Left with nothing left, I'm too easy...
I'm now the dying prey I didn't wanna free
Left with your hate to love... Deadly lady !
Set... Me... Free...

One Blood
04:46

Live a life we cannot live, without love human being is demise
Sing a song we cannot sing, cause entertaining is just a lie
Walking to the West I see
Lambs can become wolves again
Walking to the East I hear
Fierce orders of men in command
Walking to the North I feel
What is given is taken back
Walking to the South I bleed
Blood conflicts rule the world
Territory
Brothers will kill brothers
Hierarchy
Chiefs will sacrifice the others
Reproduction
A stake for global corporations
Feeding
Appetites and greed until destruction
O you stranger you tell me your ones are gone
And there's no way to find them
Their corpses buried in the fields around
But nobody blessed them
It's no miracle we live and die upon this earth
No prophets could show the way
But by the time we'll feel it's our own blood we're spilling
Will you hear me when I say:
Is this love ?
Is this love ?
Living among Christians I see
Forgiveness is never first in line
Living among Hindus I hear
Superstitious injustice stronger than life
Living among Jews I feel
A handful of dust is no sacred alibi
Living among Muslims I bleed
Blood purity ruins the world
Territory
Brothers will kill brothers
Hierarchy
Chiefs will sacrifice the others
Reproduction
A stake for global corporations
Feeding
Appetites and greed until destruction
Territory
Nature's rape by all the nations
Hierarchy
Weakness's self-justification
Reproduction
Instrumented human ressources
To feed the interests of some
O you stranger you tell me your ones are gone
And there's no way to find them
Their corpses buried in the fields around
But nobody blessed them
Guess it's no miracle we live and die upon this earth
No god will ever show the way
But by the time we'll feel it's our own blood we're spilling
Will you hear me when I say:
Is this love ?
Is this love ?
America
Brothers will kill brothers
Asia
Chiefs will sacrifice the others
Africa
A stake for global corporations
Europa
Appetites and greed until destruction
Is it love...
That will be coming from inside ?
Cause one is all and all is one...

Sunshine...
Blind beams are running wild
We all glide
On the great Ocean of Life
It's all right if
You have to leave, won't be coming back
Be all right
We had our fun and precious times
Sunshine...
May let some clouds darken your eyes
We all glide
Towards the Falls in the endless night
Don't turn back cause
Somehow we're all gonna die
But be all right
Rest in peace, your Sun will rise... and...
Shine...
