The downfall, ‘twas long in the making
The rot spreading far, spreading wide
The spoils are now theirs for the taking
Nowhere left…to flee or to hide
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
The wolf and the wind just fell silent
Ax, sword and shield will be banned
Our words and our songs are now violent
Lost our voice and lost our command
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Triumphant, the thieves and the liars
They throw out the virtues of old
They cast our rights into the fires
“Bend the knee and do as you’re told!”
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
The serpents, deceivers rejoicing
Perverted and broken our laws
The few who objected, were voicing
Resistance, for us, for our cause
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Now that the last hope seems lost
Brotherhood and kinship betrayed
All of us will be bear the cost
Some of us will feel their blade
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
They brought the dark time, the dark winter
And some of our own let us down
Our people, oh how did they splinter
Lost our faith, lost our way, lost our crown
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung
Twilight of the gods
Götterdämmerung

Automatons
03:42
|
|||
A dismal, dread, debacle dispersed from the far east,
Caused global pandemonium, to unleash a wicked beast.
The politics and mayhem the “experts” had in store,
Exaggerated the number of victims by the score.
Our country stood for freedom and was once home of the brave,
That has now fallen to tyrants who treat us all as slaves.
Abolishing our basic rights when forcing us to mask,
To hide our personalities and take our character to task.
Automatons, Automatons, they’ve made of us Automatons!
Automatons, Automatons, we’ve lost our sense of self!
Are you smiling?
Did you frown?
Are you angry?
Are you down?
Have you passion,
Or compassion?
I guess I’ll never know,
Since this masquerade is endless
And we’re all now just lost souls!
That dismal year has mercifully found its way to end!
But the despots of the ruling class never seem to want to bend.
We need to take back power, no matter what the cost,
For if this evil trend continues, our future will be lost.
Automatons, Automatons, they’ve made of us Automatons!
Automatons, Automatons, we’ve lost our sense of self!

The Liars All Along
04:09
|

“For freedom” to decide for you
What to hear and what to say
The arbiters of what is true
Have led the world astray
“For the climate”; frequent flyers strike
What a latte-commie fail
None of your beachfront properties
Have been put up for sale
They’re not against war, not against hate
Just against competition to decide your fate
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
“For peace” but not for everyone
They’re in love with all their wars
Take yours away and keep their gun
Bring the fight to our own shores
“For the future” they destroy history
Take down what brought us here
It’s critical – not theory!
See the red, lift the veneer
They’re not against war, not against hate
Just against competition to decide your fate
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
The eternal defenders of democracy
Go beyond double-standards and hypocrisy
They’ll try to crush the weak and undermine the strong
Cause they were the liars all along
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
“For the vote” but they won’t let you see
The counting that’s so flawed
And don’t you dare to question them
Not allowed to mention fraud
“For justice” – but not equally
It’s second class for you
They’re all about the “equity”
To hold the scales askew
They’re not against war, not against hate
Just against competition to decide your fate
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
“For the children” – this is what you should
Let them teach to those still pure
Might as well leave them to Hollywood
No pedos there - for sure
“For science” you’ll stay in your homes
Wear a mask within your walls
But forget those pesky chromosomes
And wax that “lady’s“ balls
They’re not against war, not against hate
Just against competition to decide your fate
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
The eternal defenders of democracy
Go beyond double-standards and hypocrisy
They will never admit that their claims are wrong
Cause they were the liars all along
They’re not against war, not against hate
Just against competition to decide your fate
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
The eternal defenders of democracy
Go beyond double-standards and hypocrisy
They’ll try to crush the weak and undermine the strong
Cause they were the liars all along
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars all along
And they’re going on with the same old song
Cause they were the liars - all along

And straight my spine

Icarus
02:37
|
|||
Watch the man of science working
See him twist and torture life
Just dissecting, never caring
Wields his scalpel like a knife
See the social planners planning
How to bend us to their mold
For our own good they'll direct us
All they're asking is control
Icarus your wings are melting
Never will you reach the sun
Though you feel your spirit soaring
Your proud wings shall come undone
Your proud wings shall come undone
See the test-tube babies forming
All alike in even rows
Mutant robots in the making
Numbered tags upon their toes
For the dictocrats convenience
See them catalogue our lives
Hear computer giants ticking
Thought police control our lives
Icarus your wings are melting
Never will you reach the sun
Though you feel your spirit soaring
Your proud wings shall come undone
Your proud wings shall come undone
Never will you reach the sun...

Rage For the Machine
04:27
|
|||
Verse1:
Edgy rebel army
Cosplay on the streets
Your victories from ambush
And you downplay your defeats
Socialist utopia
With everything for free
But knives and bats and guns for those
Who just will not agree
Chorus1:
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
Masked thugs’ fake resistance
A sponsored lamestream scene
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
Stars and Che with your all-black
Repeat what’s on the screen
Verse2:
Permanently changing
The language that you scrawl
Eat the rich or eat your own
No one is safe at all
Play with definitions
Just fodder for a meme
Your made-up pseudo-science
Is a money-making scheme
Chorus2:
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
With corporate indulgence
For their deeds, oh so obscene
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
Paid for with the funds
From the people you demean
Verse3:
Sloganeering brainlets
Marching in a line
Don’t even know what sex you are
Or when to stop to whine
Regurgitating media
The scandal of the hour
You’re not against the state you’re just
In it for the power
Chorus3:
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
“Peaceful protests” – what a joke
We all know what you mean
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
None of us are buying
That Marxist magic bean
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
With corporate indulgence
For their deeds, oh so obscene
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
Paid for with the funds
From the people you demean
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
Masked thugs’ fake resistance
A sponsored lamestream scene
Shock troops of the system,
Rage for the machine,
Stars and Che with your all-black
Repeat what’s on the screen

The New World Order is the construct of an arrogant and parasitic minority intent on ruling the globe in accordance with their needs, desires, and aggrandizement.
It is the world plantation, in which mankind at large, is reduced to the lowest common denominator. A world where all, except for the dominators', are interchangeable and replaceable work-units.
It is a world in which differences in men are not tolerated. Where each man is reduced to an isolated atom left to careen in a void of uncertainty. It is a world with neither past nor future. A world in which only the here and now have substance or meaning.
It is a world in which mankind has been reduced to the ultimate ant-hill activity of laboring for the masters. It is a world of pragmatic materialism and consumption. A profane and nihilistic world which denies the soul and crushes the spirit in man. It is a world whose population is hypnotized and made dumb by unrelenting media propaganda, distortions and lies.
It is a world of hate crimes, speech crimes and thought crimes and crimes of self-interest and pride. Of purges and pogroms, of Gulags and prisons, of confessions, penances and rehabilitations, all conducted with show-case respectability and decorum.
It is a world devoid of privacy and common decency. It is life lived beneath a magnifying glass. A world of bar-codes and plastic money, in which every purchase, every conversation, every communication, every move you make is watched and recorded – analyzed and accessed, scrutinized and investigated.
It’s the New World Order, and it's lurking just around the corner – waiting to swallow you up body and soul.

(In)tolerance
04:21
|
|||
Verse1:
One law for them - one law for you
Have them practice what you preach not what you do
“Repeat after me – don’t stray from the track
Follow the lead or you’ll be hunted by the pack”
Chorus:
This is your tolerance
Intolerance from you
Your renowned tolerance
And you still claim it’s true
Verse2:
The puppet used to sing – it’s not easy being green
These days it’s the norm and the singer’s deemed obscene
In front a friendly face – in the back the cabal
If not for double standards you would have none at all
Just a couple towers - so much ivory in mind
Turning up the nose - looking down on our kind
You don’t own your failures – you don’t own your flaws
Always for the greater good, for the people, for the cause
Chorus:
This is your tolerance
Intolerance from you
That famed tolerance
And you still claim it’s true
I have seen your tolerance
Intolerance from you
That noted tolerance
All twisted and askew
Solo (Verse)
Chorus:
This is your tolerance
Intolerance from you
That high-flown tolerance
And you still claim it’s true
I’ve come to know your tolerance
Intolerance from you
That pompous puffed up tolerance
From a lyin’ cheatin’ crew
Verse3:
Redefine the words and the past from which we came
Silence opposition with the one and only claim
You don’t own these words - you don’t own this space
Sticks and stones and censorship you are but a disgrace
Just a couple slogans - you’re stuck in a loop
It’s not an RPG - you are still a dupe
Which saviors you may bring - which heroes in their tow
Even if you had the facts my answer would stay no
Chorus:
We’ve seen your tolerance
Intolerance from you
That fake and phony tolerance
And you still claim it’s true
Who believes your tolerance?
Who still says it’s true?
Who believes your tolerance?
That garbage that you spew

Letting It Slip Away
04:44
|
|||
Together our lives began so well,
With many magical wondrous years.
Sharing our glorious moments of bliss,
Could it ever possibly end up in tears?
For years we felt invincible,
We held our fate within our hearts.
Striking envy in all others eyes.
While no one could ever drive us apart!
Our passion for life was our guiding star,
Seeing the future take root from our past.
Holding the torch as we boldly rode on,
With all of our expectations surpassed.
They told us it would never last,
Our foundation being too weak at best,
We scoffed and knew we'd beat those odds,
Determined to survive this quest!
We’d climbed to the top of the highest peak,
And rode the crest of the tallest wave!
But when it vanished in a flash,
We knew it was gone and could never be saved!
How did we let it slip away?
How could we ever let it go?
We truly missed the tell-tale signs,
Which could have been quelled
when they began to show.
Dreading that something might take it away,
Hoping that day would never come to pass.
Our trailblazing went on for years,
Until the darkness crept in at last.
Nothing truly lasts forever,
Like civilizations that rise and fall.
But never a thought it could happen here,
Leaving nothing but a gloomy pall.
We’d climbed to the top of the highest peak,
And rode the crest of the tallest wave!
But when it vanished in a flash,
We knew it was gone and could never be saved!
How did we let it slip away?
How could we ever let it go?
We truly missed the tell-tale signs,
Which could have been quelled
when they began to show.
Now our children will have to pay,
For us letting it slip away!

Wasted the Day
04:16

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson to W. S. Smith, 13 November 1787
Verse 1:
So thirsty for many years
But the calls fell on deaf ears
Thus always (1) – to water the tree (2)
But you thought you’d keep it all for free
"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle."
Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, June 11, 1807
Chorus 1:
Squandered away
What they left you to hold and to guard
An oath to betray
Squandered away
The ruins all ashen and charred
Just wasted the day
"Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."
Thomas Jefferson to Richard Price, January 8, 1789
Verse 2:
Never thought it would fall
Never thought you’d lose it all
Didn’t heed the gun – advise (3)
Didn’t want to pay the price
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
Thomas Jefferson to Colonel Charles Yancey, 6 January 1816
Chorus 2:
Squandered away
What they left you to hold and to guard
An oath to betray
Squandered away
The ruins all ashen and charred
Just wasted the day
" . . . there is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive."
Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse, April 19, 1803
Verse 3:
Dissolution (4) – but just for you
And all your power they took that too
No rights to claim (5) – just bend the knee
You broke the axiom of liberty (6)
"To attain all this, however, rivers of blood must yet flow, and years of desolation pass over; yet the object is worth rivers of blood, and years of desolation."
Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 4 September 1823
Chorus 3:
Squandered away
What they left you to hold and to guard
An oath to betray
Squandered away
The ruins all ashen and charred
Just wasted the day
What’s left to say
But a curse to the end of the earth
To see their decay
What’s left to say
If there are any left of some worth
Somehow make them pay
“I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.”
Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, August 1, 1816
Footnotes:
***********
(1) Sic semper tyrannis -> thus always to tyrants
(2) The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. (Thomas Jefferson)
(3) As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. (Thomas Jefferson)
(4) When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state, and calls for an exercise of the power of dissolution. (Thomas Jefferson)
(5) A free people [claim] their rights, as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate. (Thomas Jefferson)
(6) It is an axiom in my mind, that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves, and that too of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This it is the business of the State to effect, and on a general plan. (Thomas Jefferson)

Reclaim Your Story
03:17
|
|||
Verse1:
Your story it was taken
They took it from you
Fed you lies and slander
Instead of what was true
Chorus:
It’s time to take a stand
It’s time to take command
It’s now or never to
Reclaim your story
When you shed doubt and fear
Ignore the lies you hear
Rise up, heed the call and
You’ll be bound for glory
Verse2:
Falsehood, fake and fiction
Wool over your eyes
Stand up and choose the option
To reject their lies
Chorus:
It’s time to take a stand
It’s time to take command
It’s now or never to
Reclaim your story
When you shed doubt and fear
Ignore the lies you hear
Rise up, heed the call and
You’ll be bound for glory
(Solo)
Verse3:
Breaking through suppression
Conditioning and lies
Free yourself from shackles
And open up your eyes
Chorus:
It’s time to take a stand
It’s time to take command
It’s now or never to
Reclaim your story
When you shed doubt and fear
Ignore the lies you hear
Rise up, heed the call and
You’ll be bound for glory
Verse4:
Go on claim that story
Only you can write
Reclaim that which will lead you
From the dark into the light
Chorus:
Keep what they took from you
And you will make it through
It’s now or never to
Reclaim your story
Wipe out deceit and smear
Show past and future clear
Rise up, heed the call and
You’ll be bound for glory
Heed the call and
You’ll be bound for glory
Heed the call and
You’ll be bound for glory

Reject
02:56
|
|||
I don’t share your views. You won’t force me to. Whatever you do to me it won’t change the number of fingers you are holding up. You may want me to say ‘five’ but there are ‘four’. No amount of repetition and overwhelming propaganda will let me accept falsehoods and distortions as truths.
I disagree. I dissent. I oppose. I reject.
You told me not to question. But I reserve that right. You told me to respect and adhere to truths protected by laws and shielded by a vigilant establishment. But I disagree. You created the dissident. You made me the denier. Being told that one is not allowed to criticize someone or something is the clearest sign of a weak argument.
I contradict. I diverge. I deny. I reject.
The persecuted dissident will not see the error of his ways through the oppression and victimization he endures. To the contrary. The reprisals will be seen as confirmation and validation. The suppression of information makes the information more attractive to the yet uninformed and casual reader, listener or viewer.
I criticize. I dispute. I diverge. I reject.
I disagree. I dissent. I deny. I reject.
I disagree. I dissent. I deny. I reject.

Waiting For the Fall
02:10
|

There's talk of revolution.
Impending Civil war.
The lines are being drawn.
The writing’s on the wall.
Ancient spirits slumber.
The calm before the storm.
Hero wakes and stretches.
Reaches for his sword.
Waiting for the fall my friend.
Just waiting for the fall.
Waiting for the fall my friend. I am –
Waiting for the fall.
The first shots have been fired.
The battle has begun.
The blood-red tide is rising.
Swelling like a flood.
An age of soot and ashes.
Hero takes his stand:
"Let’s have this out with fate My brothers,
and liberate our land."
Waiting for the fall my friend.
Just waiting for the fall.
Waiting for the fall my friend. I am –
Waiting for the fall.
Waiting for the fall my friend. I am –
Waiting for the fall.
Waiting for the fall my friend. I am –
Waiting for the fall.

They Made Us Fall
04:17
|
|||
Verse1:
As before it came again
Same place, same cause
You can’t maintain
An order, a system
Crooked scheme
It popped the bubble of your crazy dream
Contagion creeping through our land
You won’t repel, you won’t defend
One tiny that your eyes can’t see
The other wants you on your knee
Chorus:
Tear down the walls
Let in the wave
Destroy the fence
That made us safe
Open the door
Come one, come all
They brought us down
They made us fall
Verse2:
Filth of decades rots the minds
Whole generations wearing blinds
Now wearing muzzles, oh wait, masks
Doing what big brother asks
What’s left of freedom is a thought
A dream, a wish to cut the knot
Pull down the veil and drain the swamp
To see what lies behind the pomp
Chorus:
Tear down the walls
Let in the wave
Destroy the fence
That made us safe
Open the door
Come one, come all
They brought us down
They made us fall
Break the locks
And lift the gate
Your death-wish
Has sealed our fate
One world for you
Nightmare for all
You brought us down
You made us fall
Verse3:
Can’t name the terror that stalks around
And most of you all just backed down
Don’t rock the boat or stir things up
And gulp down more out of that poison cup
You did this, you are to blame
Won’t even hang your heads in shame
Traitor-scum and liars all
You brought us down, you made us fall
Chorus:
Tear down the walls
Let in the wave
Destroy the fence
That made us safe
Open the door
Come one, come all
They brought us down
They made us fall
Break the locks
And lift the gate
Your death-wish
Has sealed our fate
One world for you
Nightmare for all
You brought us down
You made us fall

The Old Beast (for Kyle)
08:48
|
|||
Verse1:
From afar we saw it coming
But the rest refused to see
Same old curse it seemed upon us:
None would hear Cassandra’s plea
Though the voice was loud and clear
‘twas the wilderness too vast
Steady lies and propaganda
brought the fall, the die was cast
The low-lives and the rubble
Rising up to tip their spear
Burn and loot and murder:
Same old fist, the reds are here
Never gone, never forgotten
Veiled and hidden for so long
Grew as cancer in the world
Swayed the youth in ways so wrong
Chorus:
They sacrifice the children
For their riotous red dawn
And crucify the hero
That the mob had set upon
They’re lusting for the blood
Of the innocent and free:
“You shouldn’t have your rights -
fall in line and just agree”
Verse2:
Pictures burst the frame
Yet their framing will not stop
'til our heads are firmly placed
On their bloody chopping block
In view of all the world
Trotting out their pervert’s views
But the ones are vilified
Shielding children from abuse
Sick and twisted evil
From the same old rotten crew
They open up the prisons
In the end there’s nothing new
Miscreants as the shock-troops
And the comrades in the back
The plan was always known
And it seems they are on track
Chorus:
They sacrifice the children
For their riotous red dawn
And crucify the hero
That the mob had set upon
“Let yourself be martyred
Or we’ll throw away the key”
So blatant were their lies
We all saw, he tried to flee
No matter what’s uncovered
Still, the wretch they idolize
Even built a statue
And ignore his victims’ cries
The toxic coalition
And the perfect firestorm
Rolled over the world
The old beast in a new form
Verse
Justice, by a thread
Held our breath and bit our nails
For better men to set it right
Where blood had left its trails
The avatar of all of us
Broke down but never cracked
Set free again - was in the right
Fought back when they attacked
Brought too far - so close this one
And the others, they fell down
For standing up against the dregs
That set ablaze the town
Still, they want to come for him
Plan death for him and all
Who stand against what they believe
Who oppose our culture’s fall
Chorus:
They sacrifice the children
For their riotous red dawn
And crucify the hero
That the mob had set upon
The toxic coalition
And the perfect firestorm
Rolled over the world
The old beast in a new form
They’re lusting for the blood
Of the innocent and free:
“You shouldn’t have your rights -
fall in line and just agree”
No matter how hard they may try
To choke, smother and squeeze
Enough of us will die upright
Than live upon our knees
Enough of us will die upright
Than live upon our knees
Than live upon our knees

Θαρσείν χρη, τάχ’ αύριον έσσετ’ άμεινον. Eλπίδες εν ζωοίσιν, ανέλπιστοι δε θανόντες.
You need to have courage, because tomorrow will be better. While there's life there’s hope, and only the dead have none.
