-Armygeddon L : I.L. and C.C. M: I.L.
Eighteen years , my time has come
My fatherland calls me to the patriotic service
Coercive methods applied
No reason is worthy , for these musclehead's flock
Officials're screaming , youngmen're punished
Who can be proud?
Chorusx2
Militia , Honour , Fascist Control!
The arny grows up to mantain the peace
A peace that4s built with bloody corpse piles
Two years are wasted , with rigid discipline
a btrainwash by the force , systematically made
erase my thoughts
Chorusx2
-Buried Love L and M : C.C. and I.L.
The tranquility I always loved
I find again in you
The aroma I always loved
Is now lost among funeral flowers
The sweet pain I can't resist
The past I can't bury with you
An obsession of possessing you forever
In strange ways invades my twisted thoughts
For hours staring at your tomb
Bizarre images appears . now
Remembrances of your beauty
Uncontrolled desire moves my hands
Digging hysterically in the ground that's consuming you now
Through your cold flesh I try to find your lost soul
Oh sweet love , my buried and little love
Death wasn't enough to make my feelings die
-Ruined L : C.C. M : I.L.
Losing control of your mind
Is the same story every night
Your body demands its dose
A dose paid by your work
All your money is transformed
In junks , alcohol and drugs
But you need so fucking more
Cuz'you are ruined to the core
Chorus :
Selling your body and brain
Stealing to your best friends
You're a slave of this shit
A puppet in a circle of decay
Now your friends have gone
Leaving you alone and poor
This that begun like a game
Is now the controller of your pain
-Lament L : E.Z. M : C.C. and I.L.
Questins of reality
Lock you up inside your self
Earthly sentence spills bood on your body , soiling souls
The city traps and power rules over you
New horizons to reach for a mind that seeks salvation
Sailing through these dark and uncertain seas
Chorus :
You'll never see your life again
As time face to face to reality
Feel the pain
Of my soul ... again
It's a cold ... Lament
So brief the bliss that lights up your withered life
An unreal paradise fading away in eternal solitude
World of darkness relieves the torture in tears
The cut , before darkness and darkness after cut make you fall forever
Chorus
-Metropolis L: C.C. and I.L. M: I.L.
Endless tension , walking corpses
You see in their faces sad frustation
Cops are hitting , cars are crashing
And piles of people are sucking smog
1. And I die slowly in this grave
My grave , in wich millions will die
The glasscases are showing fashions
While beggars beg for a piece of bread
Busses are filled with human masses
And a dog4s crushed by the wheels
2. And I cry surrounded by stress
and I think , How can I live in this mess?
Chorus:
And the hate is growing high,
And the city grows to the sky,
We're just some little scums,
Trapped in our own pretty tomb
-Metropolisx4
Walls of concrete , ground of concrete
The buildings rise and hide the sun
Urban creature , synthetic nature
The dirty world is your homeland.
Repeat 1. and Chorus
Metropolisx4
-Innocent Shades L: E.Z. M: I.L.
Here in the dephts , of my solitude
Flowing fears and pain , suffering embraces me
....Driving me along unknow ways...
Tears blur my eyes , remembering in agony
And silent cries , mortals under reign of death
Chorus:
The Tyrants close their eyes
Never see the Innocent Shades
Sorrow is what them all , expect
Blood tainted hands , distorted life and brain
Weep eternally , over their thrones of flesh
Chorusx2
Hiding in darkness
Under the real suffering
Of a senseless death
............Innocent Shades.........
