Raised Fist
Dedication
Doesn't matter if we stand behind, if we play grind, if we get unsigned
It's not a fancy dream about a supremeteam that screams 'bout fighting regimes
Ten years passed by and you ran along
You ran along with your fucking urge to belong
When will you get this right? -- When... right
(It's not) A fanatic rite
It's only a name in the theatre light -- Theatre light
It's not about a cool website
When will you get this right? -- When... right
(It's not) A fanatic rite
It's only a name in the theatre light -- Theatre light
It's not about acting like a rock star at night
Dedication is essential to succeed, anticipation is all you need
Guess it's time for us to explain how we fill ourselves up with the energy to remain
You play in a band, you want to expand but you misunderstand
You're aiming at fame, you want to lay claim but you should be ashamed
When will you get this right? -- When... right
(It's not) A fanatic rite
It's only a name in the theatre light -- Theatre light
It's not about a cool website
When will you get this right? -- When... right
(It's not) A fanatic rite
It's only a name in the theatre light -- Theatre light
It's not about acting like a rock star at night
Struggling to get into a fucking nice review
Looking for a camera lens that can capture a picture of your crew
Still the same need for fame & a stage name
I cannot explain the feelings I have for you
Feeding the clothing store, so unsure when we're on tour
You better start running again or you'll end up in the slow lane
You think it's about profit & loss, sucking up for the boss
Acting like everything is for sale
Take a look at today's headlines
Usual signs but in different designs
I don't believe in these stories with my heart
Director of important needs
Of course the killing proceed
Profit is the thing that I'm sick of
Morbid tourists spend their money with love
That's why! -- I look upon this with fascination
As you try to fill me with the wrong information
That's why! -- We love to lead all the conversations
This can't be for real this must be a bad imitation
We cannot play this game by their rules
Cannot provide them with the powerful tools
Another black paper with so called news
Another excuse to light the fuse
Treated like an object without a mind
Feeling like a product left behind
How can we laugh being this mistrusted?
Question makes me disgusted
That's why! -- I look upon this with fascination
As you try to fill me with the wrong information
That's why! -- We love to lead all the conversations
This can't be for real this must be a bad imitation
I look upon this with fascination
As you try to fill me with the wrong information
That's why! -- We love to lead all the conversations
This can't be for real this must be a bad imitation
Go!
I got a poster with a message beneath contempt
Bunch of insects their mistakes are so frequent
One injection of new life in new ideas
Takes us so much further from finding peace
First I find myself forced to oppose that kind of stupidity
Your propaganda seems to dissapear into infinity
Secondly I feel like throwing up when I see
Salvation army of noble races living in misery
Empty words in my face
It's your dedication I want to embrace
Impressive to see all the energy go to waste
Ridiculous to see how you keep your arms raised -- How you keep your arms raised
How you keep your arms raised
Now I'm standing on the point of interception
I've installed myself ready for your inspection
Equivalence is not a word in your vocabulary
You got nothing to say and that scares me
First I find myself forced to oppose that kind of stupidity
Your propaganda seems to dissapear into infinity
Secondly I feel like throwing up when I see
Salvation army of noble races living in misery
I got a poster with a message beneath contempt
Bunch of insects their mistakes are so frequent
One injection of new life into new ideas
Takes us further away from finding peace
And I feel like throwing up when I see
Salvation army of noble races living in misery
Impressive to see all the energy go to waste
Ridiculous to see how you keep your arms raised
Empty words in my face
It's your dedication I want to embrace
Impressive to see all the energy go to waste
Ridiculous to see how you keep your arms raised -- How you keep your arms raised
Empty words in my face
It's your dedication I want to embrace
Impressive to see all the energy go to waste
Ridiculous to see how you keep your arms raised
This ripped apart large sections of my social life
Disabled from a bitter conflict with a surgical knife
If there was a possibility I would give away my wings
Give my wings to you so you could fly away from the bombings
Dead bodies on the ground & a whispering sound
Another victim down, it's the daily round
Another explosion, panic & motion
Smoke from a rooftop this will never stop
I have no desire to end up in the crossfire
Is there anything that I can do for you?
To remove the barbed wire & to send out more flyers
Doesn't really change what this is developing to
Dead bodies on the ground & a whispering sound
Another victim down, it's the daily round
Another explosion, panic & motion
Smoke from a rooftop this will never stop
Your advice could be to demilitarise
But it's not the weapons that kills, it's the people behind
When no logic applies & no one tries
And no one is willing to compromise
I have no desire to end up in the crossfire
Is there anything I can do for you?
When no logic applies & no one tries
And no one is willing to compromise
Dead bodies on the ground & a whispering sound
Another victim down, it's the daily round
Another explosion, panic & motion
Smoke from a rooftop this will never stop
Moved by nature & everything around
Watching the sky while I try to stay on solid ground
Maybe this can bring new spirit into my life
Maybe this can help me to decide
At least I've tried
Life's too short for us to be apart
The same song echoing sadly in my heart
I know you shouldn't run away from what's on top
But the rain just doesn't seem to stop
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Judging is such a time-consuming process
I've wasted so much time and I have to confess
Filled with anger & despair
This will never be repair
Life's too short for us to be apart
The same song echoing sadly in my heart
I know you shouldn't run away from what's on top
But the rain just doesn't seem to stop
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away -- away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away -- away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Even though I put these memories away you're not returning -- Away
I cannot run away from this today but I'll leave a candle burning -- Cannot run away from this today
Moneymaker, the instigator. Both of them trapped in the same boat
Seem to be more of a fake, playing a completely different role
Insinuate to have the faith in humanity is insanity
I'm waiting for the sun to rise to wipe away those angry faces
Invasion led by other nations
I feel fragile & lost, I have no patience
Intervention is building up the tension
Breaking the foundation
Gravity keeps me standing in the world of heavy branding
Everybody seem so sure when they grasp for more
I'm exposed near getting disposed to an environment of lying men
Mass media is my best friend
Invasion led by other nations
I feel fragile & lost, I have no patience
Intervention is building up the tension
Breaking the foundation.. tion... tion... tion... tion... tion
The time has come for us to speak about the truth
Our ways of thinking is effecting the youth
And I'm engaged to make myself come through to you
We've just begun to realize what we have to do
The time has come for us to speak about the truth
Our ways of thinking is effecting the youth
And I'm engaged to make myself come through to you
We've just begun to realize what we have to do
This part goes out to people like you who knew that this could come through
It's so hard to explain the strength of the chain that binds us
We keep this inside shining of pride knowing that you're existing
You always denied us, tried to divide us into everything
Lack of communication takes the breath out of me
I'm pleading without seeing and I'm looking for my enemy
I have no patience when I see that you are filled with greed
The only thing that satisfies you is when I bleed... bleed... bleed
This is an illustration of desperation
When you're getting your education from the fucking T.V.-station
Seem to fade away -- I seem to fade away -- I wanna fade away!
This is an illustration of desperation
When you're getting your education from the fucking T.V.-station
Seem to fade away, I wanna fade away!
This part goes out to those fucking fools breaking hearts into pieces
Making up names, setting their aims to talk shit about all releases
I want to extend this to some of the people I usually bump into
The running man without a band who thinks he's everything just because of a fucking tattoo
Communication takes the breath out of me
I'm pleading without seeing and I'm looking for my enemy
I have no patience when I see that you are filled with greed
The only thing that satisfies you is when I bleed
This is an illustration of desperation
When you're getting your education from the fucking T.V.-station
Seem to fade away, I wanna fade away!
This is an illustration of desperation
When you're getting your education from the fucking T.V.-station
Seem to fade away -- I seem to fade away -- I wanna fade away!
This is an illustration of desperation
When you're getting your education from the fucking T.V.-station
Seem to fade away, I wanna fade away!
This is an illustration of desperation
When you're getting your education from the fucking T.V.-station
Seem to fade away -- I seem to fade away -- I wanna fade away!
This song is definitely not the operation provocation
I'm writing this of respect of all the punkbands in the nation
I have such faith in people like you that really dare to disagree
And for all the times you've helped us spread the words making mp3's
I'm so glad that you're still the same, with the same name. I love the person you became
I wanna be just like you, just like you
And I'm so glad that you're not hostile, that you're wearing a smile & care less about style
I wanna be just like you, just like you
Among all the places, a million faces but I'll never meet someone like you
Bleeding on the stage when we disengage the happiness that we possess
And I am so glad that you'll never turn into a stranger
I'm keeping you in my mind everyday, when I'm far away and when I feel deranged
I'm so glad that you're still the same, with the same name. I love the person you became
I wanna be just like you, just like you
And I'm so glad that you're not hostile, that you're wearing a smile & care less about style
I wanna be just like you, just like you
To have you on my side fills me with pride, stronger then a castle inside
I cannot throw anger at you, I'm attached to you, you've been with us since our debut
I'm glad that you're still the same, with the same name.
I love the person you became and I wanna be just like you
Let me dedicate this song to those who never act in frustration
Let me give this song to those who have respect for all the punkbands in the nation
Let me pass this song to all the people that dare to disagree
Let me dedicate this song to those who downloaded this song as a mp3
I'm so glad that you're still the same, with the same name. I love the person you became
I wanna be just like you, just like you
And I'm so glad that you're not hostile, that you're wearing a smile & care less about style
I wanna be just like you, just like you
I drank until I couldn't walk anymore
But what did I accomplish by falling to the floor?
I'm filled with cheerful conversation & a loving dialogue
Everything in my dreams, I have the need to scream
Silence is the key, the sound of my breath
Silence is the key
I'm looking to become the absentee
Silence is the key
I had a vision of reconstruction
And now I feel my own destruction
Do we have to meet a certain look taken from a fake book?
Everything in my dreams, I have the need to scream
Silence is the key, sound of my breath
Silence is the key
I'm looking to become the absentee
Silence is the key
Silence is the key
Silence is the key
This isn't a revolution I'm sad to say
It's time for me to meet my friends today
Because I've lost so many hours talking on the phone
I don't know why it always ends like this, now I'm on my own
And I don't give a fuck about the game you're playing -- I... don't... give... a
And I don't give a fuck about what you're friends are saying -- don't... give... a
Once again it's time for me to transform into a stone
I feel much better when I'm alone
Seperation is necessary. This is too much to carry
Once again you've led me into this and it's so fucking scary
I know I handle all relations the wrong way
I'm going to get better at this but not today!
And I don't give a fuck about the game you're playing -- I... don't... give... a
And I don't give a fuck about what you're friends are saying -- don't... give... a
Once again it's time for me to transform into a stone
I feel much better when I'm alone
And I don't give a fuck about the game you're playing -- I... don't... give... a
And I don't give a fuck about what you're friends are saying -- I don't give a
Once again it's time for me to transform into a stone -- trans... form
I feel much better when I'm alone
And I don't give a fuck about the game you're playing -- I... don't... give... a
And I don't give a fuck about what you're friends are saying -- I don't give a
Once again it's time for me to transform into a stone -- trans... form
I feel much better when I'm alone
I am the darkest demon
Taken from the second season
I reside at the bottom of a bottle
My inside is about to rot
I'm working to inflict some pain
Bloodstain!
In front of me you stand trial
Come to me my child
And no one can hear me cry -- The rest of your life
And sadly I stand trial -- Come to me my child
And no one can hear me cry -- I'm the rest of your life
And sadly I stand trial -- Come to me my child
I'm trapped between the demons
Have to get away from the season
Wiping the sweat of my forehead
Seconds before he's eyes turns into red
I'm looking for another location
Simply running into desperation
Nothing changes I've lost my faith
Why did I have to grow up in hate?
My child
And no one can hear me cry -- The rest of your life
And sadly I stand trial -- Come to me my child
And no one can hear me cry -- The rest of your life
And sadly I stand trial -- Come to me my child
Feels like a living insanity -- I am the dark reality
Something is pulling me down -- I capture all the hate around
Moving in different corners -- I'm making you feel worthless
It feels like I'm on trial -- Come to me my child
And no one can hear me cry -- I'm the rest of your life
And sadly I stand trial -- Come to me my child
And no one can hear me cry -- The rest of your life
And sadly I stand trial -- Come to me my child
