Phoenix

Nothing lasts forever,
Your red roses and love letters,
Kisses to make things better,
Flowers to tell her you care,
Obscene obsessive behavior,
Keep your gestures, everything's fine,
Tranquility and ample desires,
How can love rule
When you're keeping everything inside,
Nothing lasts forever.

Stars and the red sky,
A glass of wine to heal the pain
Inside us, but we hide it,
Roses and chocolates.

Spark flies and the river rises,
Mild manner, but you convince her you'll be better,
Lies and fake emotions,
The truth is never spoken,
Trapped voices and dark clouds,
She speaks but fears the aftermath,
More jewels to keep her happy,
Touch her to keep her flattered,
Everything seems fine,
Nothing is fine,
Everything locked inside,
Nothing lasts forever.

Stars and the red sky,
A glass of wine to heal the pain
Inside us, but we hide it,
Roses and chocolates.

Protest, Violence & Fists

Militant, militant,
Dropping shots right to left,
They desire power
And turn on one another,
Policia, policia,
Taking advantage of the poor,
Filthy pigs smothered in greed,
41 shots, when will you stop?

Professors, professors,
Why can't you listen to my views?
Your propaganda cannot absorb me,
My thoughts are just as important as yours,
Politicians, politicians,
I don't believe what you say,
Your views seem to change by the day,
You should be treated like everyone else.

Religions, religions,
Keep feeding us lies,
The Pope is wealthy, his people are starving,
Keep your fictional beliefs to yourself,
Judges, judges,
You turn the other way while the rapist rapes again,
Look at yourselves in the mirror,
Puppets on strings serving to free criminals.

Cuba (Viva la revolucion)

No matter how many casualties,
This guerrilla keeps fighting,
Time to protect this land,
And secure the rights of the people,
Tired of living a desperate life;
Hanging on too every prayer n' false hope,
Enough of these abuses n' brutalities,
This sense of discrimination,
No more injustices, no more insecurity,
Time to shock ya
And burn your rich fortress'.

Through the jungle, time to raid,
Shatter the hopes of the rich
And destroy their morality,
It only takes one.

No matter the amount of opposition,
This guerrilla will never surrender,
Place the men, fight for your land,
Freedom and rights should have never been stripped,
Tired of hanging on a rope
And being told what to do,
Enough of the lies
And abuse of authority,
Police brutality n' holes filled with bodies,
Time to show ya
The actions of an angry peasant.

Viva la revolucion

Cyprus (Dying voices)

The bodies filled with sand,
Six feet underground,
Knives in the backs
Of those who don't comply,
Round after round,
Bodies fill the street,
The burning fields,
Their land taken away.

No one stays calm,
But no one fights back,
No voice, no change,
Silence fills the air.

The boots shake,
As the ground quakes,
Jail cells filled with activists and innocents,
Another day, another reel,
News telling you
About the glory of the country,
Strip, storm n' search,
Raid, rage n' retribution,
Raise, pessimism n' propaganda,
Imaginary voices,
Sudden mind rape.

No one stays calm,
But no one fights back,
No voice, no change,
Silence fills the air.

Chained to a system
That's stripping you apart.

South America (this is our land)

This constitution,
The forces from the left,
The forces from the right,
Some burning paradise,
Who's burning crosses?
Some searching for justice,
An eye for an eye,
This is retribution.

Democracy failing,
Socialism fading,
Forces obeying the norms,
Other forces fighting for change,
A witness shot and dumped in the sea,
A criminal avoiding jail time,
Teacher's using propaganda,
The Pope band condoms, he wants more aids,
Homes become prisons,
Life loses hope,
Time for a revolution,
This is retribution.

Countries in poverty,
Others living with gold,
Instead of improving the world,
Some choose to go to war,
Fight, fire, let's burn,
Take back the land
That was taken from you,
This is retribution.

A Million Ways and Endless Desires

Just like sheep n' dogs
We do what we're told,
No mind of our own,
Vision from television,
Our thoughts n' beliefs
Hijacked by the norms
They've been shoving down our throats.

Time to give in to their products,
Their drugs, their addictions,
What they want ya to think,
Burning images of your past
Watching your memories fade,
Thinking you got control of your life,
Thinking of a million ways to keep loved ones happy,
But in the end,
You bow down to the same flag,
The red, white n' blue,
That put fear in the innocents,
And destroyed the lives of millions,
We continue to believe in
A cycle of hatred n' obedience;
A cycle of conformity n' assimilation.

We are dogs chasing our own tail,
We are cattle following the pact to destruction.

Low wages for the hard workers
Improving the land,
Higher wages for those destroying
The lives of the lower class,
The economy is declining,
But not enough for athletes to demand less,
Greed, greed, those filthy motherfuckers,
Everyone says they care,
But only when their profits hit a wall,
No one gives a fuck
When they're stealing from the poor,
When others are starving and killing themselves,
We just want more n' more,
We want it all,
Only satisfied when our pockets are full,
Some call themselves religious,
But only pray to their fictional God when they want something,
When they desire someone,
The devil in disguise,
Nothing is pure, nothing is gold,
The land is mine as much as its yours.

We want change,
But we fail to do it ourselves,
We want too much
Because we are never satisfied.

United States (A failed democracy): Part Three

Time to pack n' go to war,
That's all this country is made for,
Carry arms n' pass the shells,
That's all we're good for,
Our minds shaped to think a certain way,
Their culture is your culture,
Their beliefs are your beliefs,
Because they got Jesus by their side
While the others bow down to Satan.

There's no freedom in this country,
Everyone n' everything controlled,
This is a failed democracy, never stable,
No freedom in this country!!

Wealth n' power,
Engraved in their hearts,
Mass murderers n' KKK supporters,
A massive battle for civil rights,
Imprisoning innocent men n' women
To cover their lies,
Enter war, enter war,
Show patriotism
And die for the wrong reasons.

Untitled

The sound of a gun
Going off at every heart beat,
Tragedy knocking at every door,
With the life in his hands.

Burning bridges
They say to prevent invasions,
But we know the truth,
They want to control
And keep us imprisoned.

Targets acquainted,
False education and hope,
Lines dividing our lives,
Apartheid and the power to the norm,
People expendable,
Civilians sacrificed.

Can't keep awake,
The vision begins to fail,
A hundred thousand images
Ever hour before your eyes,
Cord around the throat,
Strangled and left behind,
No use for you when you're job is done,
Another number, another pawn.

A pawn, you're dead!
A pawn, you're dead!
Gun shots, you're dead!
Iron fist,
You're bleeding, you're dead!

Black Hole

Black hole,
Taking this life away,
Nowhere to run,
Always by our side,
Black hole,
Destroying everyone,
Enemy, a superficial being,
Capital, termination.

Every heart, every star,
Underneath, oversea,
Every breath inside
Swept away, swept away!

Dark figure,
Bringing the worst in us,
Leaving us questioning ourselves,
Nowhere to hide,
Dark figure,
Within us all,
Fear inside, fear to survive,
Greed must be terminated.

Every heart, every star,
Underneath, oversea,
Every breath inside
Swept away, swept away!

Stavanger

Staring at the sky,
Blazing through the images in my mind,
Tossing all your memories in the fire,
Watching your darkness fade away,
Looking for light to guide my way,
Everything coming to an end today,
None of your requests or your promises,
Looking at the road ahead,
Never turning back.

You're not what I need right now,
You're everything I try to avoid,
You're nothing to me,
You're broken and insecure.

All your lies,
Every way to isolate yourself from me,
Power in need,
No excuses, no time for anyone,
The light is brighter,
And I'm on my way out for good,
The sky is clearer,
But the mind is full of hate,
Looking at the road ahead,
Now I am gone.

You're not what I need right now,
You're everything I try to avoid,
You're nothing to me,
You're broken and insecure.

Liberia

Shaping the world
Into madness, into self-destruction,
Waiting for the light
To shine right through,
Soldiers and civilians
At the frontline,
Hole on to something,
Make peace with yourself,
This place is going to blow.

Smile, laugh,
And watch it all fall apart,
Hide, you pray,
And you'll watch it all fall apart.

The darkness in today's life,
Warped up in your mind,
Explosions in the sky,
Everything melting till everything's flat,
Rebellion and glory,
To fit in each others harmony,
Disintegration and power,
Leaving everyone behind.

Smile, laugh,
And watch it all fall apart,
Hide, you pray,
And you'll watch it all fall apart.

A struggle in the homeland,
A needle in the vein,
Poverty populating,
The clock ticking down,
Monuments exploding,
And their hearts imploding,
Hijack the system,
Others planting bombs.

Smile, laugh,
And watch it all fall apart,
Hide, you pray,
And you'll watch it all fall apart.

Mogadishu

Nothing feels the same anymore,
Everything ahead
Completely blurred,
These eyes are failing,
This soul is burning,
And my mind is slowly shutting down!

The blood I have seen,
The limbs covering my feet,
The blood in my dreams,
The limbs of a child.

Waiting for hope to arrive,
The buildings being torn down,
The homeless and the hungry,
Lives in shambles,
Every turn is suicide,
Well, why do we hold back?
No one needs to die,
Fading into black.

The blood I have seen,
The limbs covering my feet,
The blood in my dreams,
The limbs
The limbs of us all!!!

Spain (the lies we learn from the U.S.A)

Rollin' on chance,
Throwin' his life away,
Casualties, more implosions,
Rid this disease we call greed,
With the lives on the line,
We seem to despise
Any light shining upon our eyes.

More money, more money,
More greed, more disease!
More war crimes, more propaganda,
More lies to spread this disease!

Spitting bullets at children n' women,
The desire burning for glory,
Gain land, lose lives,
Selling arms to a child,
Who doesn't understand,
Burn crops, destroy one's faith,
Increase spending n' intervention,
They want to bury the poor [x4]

More money, more money,
More greed, more disease!
More war crimes, more propaganda,
More lies to spread this disease!

More prisons, more arrests
To keep the weak at bay,
Education seems like a sin,
No knowledge, just filling our minds
With this disease,
The hacksaw grinding n' grinding,
The sound of rounds over rounds over rounds,
The children n' women yelling,
Bones crushed, pick the change off the floor,
The hacksaw grinding n' grinding [x3]

Madagascar

She slips away
With her torn skin,
Damaged goods,
Used and abused,
Long forgotten,
Hurting for a long time.

A family dying,
Their hearts cannot keep up,
A useless faith
Burned and scarred,
Doing anything to survive,
Selling themselves,
Lost for a long time,
Lost for a long time.

Her father breaking his back
For a couple of pennies,
Her mother following brutal orders,
Their souls are torn,
She slips away
To her secret place,
She comforts abuse
And intercourse,
She's been lost for a long time.

No one seems to care,
But the family doesn't know better,
Needles and drugs
Keep them safe,
Broken nails and internal bleeding,
Ruthless beatings
And improper medication,
You live and you die young,
Seems like yesterday, was life good?
She's been lost for a long time.

Beatings, batons,
Cursing, casualties,
Dying, disease,
Prostitute, pessimistic,
Murder and massacres.
