1Die Hard02:36
One shot at this thing called life
So start fucking living and not just survive
Time is the only thing you got
Don’t you fucking waste it being someone you’re not
Don’t you fucking waste it being someone you’re not
Don’t waste your life
Don’t waste your fucking time
Never give up
Never give in
Keep on fighting
Till you win!
Live fast
Die hard
Take risk
Have heart
Don’t waste, don’t waste - your life
Don’t waste, don’t waste - your time
Don’t waste, don’t waste - your life
Don’t waste your fucking time
So start fucking living and not just survive
Time is the only thing you got
Don’t you fucking waste it being someone you’re not
Don’t you fucking waste it being someone you’re not
Don’t waste your life
Don’t waste your fucking time
Never give up
Never give in
Keep on fighting
Till you win!
Live fast
Die hard
Take risk
Have heart
Don’t waste, don’t waste - your life
Don’t waste, don’t waste - your time
Don’t waste, don’t waste - your life
Don’t waste your fucking time
2Dead End Generation04:17
We are the dead cast out from this society
We are the dead estranged from the mass
We are the dead living outside the hierarchy
We are the dead - dead end generation
We are the dead unconfined by authority
We are the dead undividable by class
We are the dead breaking walls around humanity
We are the dead - dead end generation
We are the dead and we don’t give a shit
We don’t lose, we don’t quit!
We don’t lose, we don’t quit!
We are the dead end
We are the dead end
We are the dead end
Dead end generation
We are
We are
We are
Dead end generation
In the dead end streets where the dead ends meet,
we’ll rise together as a dead end fleet!
Outgrowing the shade controlling our streets,
united dead ends marching over the elites!

3Blindfolded03:26
Democracy is nothing more than proper fiction
Broadcast on a blindfold you call television
It is a made to believe political charade
And you’re just dumb enough to take the bait
Religion is the world’s accepted social sickness
With blood on your hands asking god for forgiveness
Whilst the book of faith deems a criminal a saint
And you’re just dumb enough to take the bait
And you’re just dumb enough to take the bait
And you’re just dumb enough to take the bait
Dumb enough to take the bait
Open, open, open your eyes
Open, open, open your mind
Open, open, are you alive?
Fucking deaf, dumb and blind (2x end)
Blindfolded, see nothing
Blindfolded, hear nothing
Blindfolded, shut your face
Broadcast on a blindfold
Face your fears, dare to fucking face what is reality
Save yourself, overcome this self inflicted tragedy

4Sick of you01:54
Tried to beat
The test of time
This is it
I draw the line
Time has come
To turn the page
Won't sit back
Fuel the rage
Reached out, given in, given everything: everything
Wasting my time, making me sick
Sick of you, and sick of your shit
Sick of you, sick of you
Sick of you, sick of you
Sick of you
Sick of you
Sick of you
Sick of your shit
Sick of you
Sick sick of you
The test of time
This is it
I draw the line
Time has come
To turn the page
Won't sit back
Fuel the rage
Reached out, given in, given everything: everything
Wasting my time, making me sick
Sick of you, and sick of your shit
Sick of you, sick of you
Sick of you, sick of you
Sick of you
Sick of you
Sick of you
Sick of your shit
Sick of you
Sick sick of you
5Fuck Hope03:50
Addicted asocial brainwashed breed!
Whining, begging, crawling the streets!
Addicted asocial brainwashed race!
Howling, craving, dragging your case!
Addicted asocial brainwashed fuck!
Never your fault, always shit out luck!
Addicted asocial brainwashed shit!
If you will not change, this will be it!
This will be it!
Blind to the mirrors that show you the truth,
Focused on crooks you'd rather salute!
Dependent on lies that will easy your mind,
Drugged and controlled to keep you blind!
Deaf to the truth screaming in your face,
Addicted to lies that you’d rather embrace!
Cling to the fiction designed to unwind,
Stop taking drugs that will keep you blind!
Fuck hope, fuck hope, fuck hope!
The public sucks, the public sucks!
When are you…
Sick of the shackles holding you back,
Sick of the bullshit you’re forced to drag!
Sick of losing your last piece of hope,
Sick and tired of the social slope!
Sick of the lies you stuff into your face,
Sick of knowing there’s nothing to embrace,
Sick and tired of playing along,
Sick and tired of being so numb!
Fuck off with the lies you tell yourself,
Fuck off with blaming it on someone else!
Fuck off with playing the victem card,
Fuck off with your so called sacred heart!
Fuck off and accept you need to change,
Fuck off with acting like you’re all deranged!
Fuck off and see how they kept you still,
Fuck off with wanting their toxic pill
Whining, begging, crawling the streets!
Addicted asocial brainwashed race!
Howling, craving, dragging your case!
Addicted asocial brainwashed fuck!
Never your fault, always shit out luck!
Addicted asocial brainwashed shit!
If you will not change, this will be it!
This will be it!
Blind to the mirrors that show you the truth,
Focused on crooks you'd rather salute!
Dependent on lies that will easy your mind,
Drugged and controlled to keep you blind!

Fuck hope, fuck hope, fuck hope!
The public sucks, the public sucks!
When are you…
Sick of the shackles holding you back,
Sick of the bullshit you’re forced to drag!
Sick of losing your last piece of hope,

Fuck off and accept you need to change,
Fuck off with acting like you’re all deranged!
Fuck off and see how they kept you still,
Fuck off with wanting their toxic pill
6Entrapped03:09
Entrapped in time as you’re strapped to the clock
See your life fading but too tired to wake up
Your time is yours but it’s not truly your own
Limited existence in which life is on a loan
Entrapped by the pyramid and all seeing eye
Valuing wealth over your health and your time
Bestowed upon birth with the curse of debt
A burden to carry till your very last breath
Take back your time, take back your life
Settle the score, take what's already yours!
Entrapped in your time
Entrapped in your life
Entrapped by your breath
Till your death
Your time - your life
Your breath - your death
See your life fading but too tired to wake up
Your time is yours but it’s not truly your own
Limited existence in which life is on a loan
Entrapped by the pyramid and all seeing eye
Valuing wealth over your health and your time
Bestowed upon birth with the curse of debt
A burden to carry till your very last breath
Take back your time, take back your life
Settle the score, take what's already yours!
Entrapped in your time
Entrapped in your life
Entrapped by your breath
Till your death
Your time - your life
Your breath - your death
7Chaos01:34
no rest, no break, no air, no silence!
No switch to kill the fucking sirens!
No rest, no break, no air, no guidance!
No antidote for this virus!
No rest, no break, no air, just sirens!
No peace and no fucking silence!
Chaos in my head, chaos like a virus.
Nothing can give me guidance!
It is like a virus!
Tired eyes! sunrise! blocking light with my shades!
Humanize! disguise! blinders on through the day!
Twitching eyes! clockwise! sleepless rush in my head!
Chaos, clutter, fucking mess, distorted and possessed!
Chaos, clutter, fucking mess, distorted and possessed!
Chaos, there is no silence!
Chaos, there is no guidance!
Chaos, it's like a virus!
Nothing can give me guidance!
Chaos, there is no silence!

No switch to kill the fucking sirens!
No rest, no break, no air, no guidance!

No peace and no fucking silence!
Chaos in my head, chaos like a virus.
Nothing can give me guidance!
It is like a virus!

8Total destruction03:02
Learn from our mistakes, learn and see the infection
You'll learn from our mistakes, and learn our downfall
You'll get smarter and smarter and see the disease
Gather all our weaknesses and start plotting your survival
Start saving yourself, from the pain you have endured

We'll become your fools, the fools who'll get tossed
It's already in motion we know that you have started
Now we will need to accept, accept that we have lost
Total destruction, total repulsion
Total destruction, total seduction
Total destruction, total corruption
Learn from our mistakes, learn and see the infection
Learn from our mistakes, accept that we have lost
Learn from our mistakes, we are not the fucking answer
See what we have done, and what it all have cost!
