Sick of this endless stride
Let’s switch to the other side
I wanna let them show the way I mustn't go
Bliss flows in my mind
How could I have been this blind before?
They told me that I might find
myself in a spiral
A precipitous fall
Now things have taken a turn
Ain’t nothing left to learn anymore
CHORUS
You broke loosened chains and it will be the same
for naive brats who'll fall into the trap
Without ever wavering or losing face
they get things done playing our sons for a while
Feeling some hostile vibes
I see contempt in their eyes
Keep laughing in my face, keep invading my space
No need to struggle
I indulge in this muddle
Carry on! Carry on!
Dismay and mockery bloom as soon as I’m gone
I am the odd one, I’m a stain, i’m what you’re running from
Can you tell me what’s the matter?
BRIDGE
They got you in this game with no fear and no strain
Enlisted, no way back, stuck in a soulless pack

Prayers

Trouble, rumble
No grace, no mercy in this concrete jungle
Sweet talker, scammer
New block, same story for this creepy stranger
Dead threats don’t mean anything to sassy kids like you
The deed has to be done anyway, will you get through?
CHORUS
Someday you'll get screwed over
That's obvious
We all know what will happen
to you
Trouble, rumble
No grace, no mercy in this concrete jungle
Sweet talker, scammer
Will you keep boasting when they open fire?
Stop duping everyone in town
Ease up, move on, settle your accounts
It's up to you
Don’t wait until you rot in jail
You can still rip your ticket to hell
It's up to you
BRIDGE
They pledge to use any means to mess you up
(Sooner or later)
You boy don't know how much you gonna suffer
Their hatred has been stirring up for so long
(Stronger and greater)
You boy don't know how much you gonna suffer
So say your prayers now
So say your prayers now
So say your, so say your
So say your prayers now

Blame
06:23
|

|
Low blows, lynching, bashing, threats and treason
Deceit is flowing in your veins
Bribes in disguise
Malicious lies
Talking sense into you sounds so silly
You reek of greed and fellony
Hear what they say
Someday you'll pay
CHORUS
We can blame you
Get you off your throne
We won't save you
From the endless fall
That’s it, you got busted, caught red-handed
Draw a line under all your sins
It had to happen
It was written
Think back to when you were simpleminded
Now look at this holy mess you made
Is that a way
to end your days?
BRIDGE
We can blame you
We won't save you
We can blame you
Get you off your throne
We won't save you
Handle this alone

Failure
04:16
|

|
Shards of glass
Blood on the floor
They’ll need divine help
or even more
Striving to keep him
away from their place
It's a matter of time
until the end of their chase
CHORUS
That peer pressure shapes your failure
Will you ever free them from your dismal fate?
Doors are slammed
Curtains are drawn
They won’t interfere
or take him on
Silence, worried looks
Everybody knows
what's goin’ on next door
But nothing here is disclosed
BRIDGE
Now they're coming for you
Now they're coming for you
You moron, guess you didn’t see them come in
You better bite the bullet, grin and bear it
You moron, guess you didn’t see them come in
You better bite the bullet, bite it right now

Off

How did I just get here? I don't know
I've never seen such a place before
Cigar smoke, candlelight
make me feel like a nobleman
Stunned by priceless paintings on the walls
I keep walking around on my own
til’ I hear in my back
steps getting closer to me
Their heaviness doesn't bode well
CHORUS
Ever since I landed here
I've been idle and I love
I was told by a crimson page
to take here some time off
Several decades have passed and I am
still jailed in this gilded cage but I
don't complain anymore
Only big names knock on the door
Charles creates new dances anywhere
Ted writes in his rocking chair
Jack is used to go crazy when he gets ripped off
at the poker table by Adolf and Leo
It’s a mess in here!

Stranded
05:30
|
|||
|
Leaving this ocean
shaken by its streams
Maimed and left to die
Stolen by the shore
Woken by its breeze
Can I reach a town
crawling in the sand?
Frozen by the snow
laying on my skin
Sealing up my eyes
Lying on the floor
Yelling for a help
that I’ll never have
Waiting for the end
CHORUS
Can my faith or my hope change
anything to this story?
I won't fool nobody else
in agony
While my glimmer was dimming
I saw them running to me
I won't fool nobody else
in agony

Fantasy
04:28
|
|||
|
Dull
Feeling
lost in my own thoughts, solitarily
Numb
Waiting
for better days to come, indefinitely
Envisioning my ideals
Steering clear of their appeals is too hard
CHORUS
How can I overcome
what's slowly soiling my soul?
When the hell will I see
a light beyond the maze of fantasy?
Blind
Insanely
craving eternal quests, endless summits
I strayed from straight and narrow
Down
Gradually
losing the taste for life, fading away
But mirages failed to steal my mind
CHORUS 2
How can I overcome
what's slowly soiling my soul?
Up there, I'm sure I can see
a light beyond the maze of fantasy
Of fantasy

Pawn
04:44
|
|||
|
Please forget everything
Please do it 'cause I’m done
Hell-bent on erasing
crooks and jerks who wanted me to tear me down
Their treachery
led me to feel part of a clan
Made me become another man
so irrational, despicable
CHORUS
I was just another pawn, a fool in this sick game
Gave'em all I got for nothing but these glares
Keeping helps and cautions from my overweening pride
I was much too ignorant to figure it out
Striving to take the lead
Striving to realize
how absurd were my creeds
Jive from creeps, it didn’t make any sense
And now I see
myself coming back from a heaven
I erected with illusions
I still don't know why I was that guy
BRIDGE
(Won’t you get over it? Will you ever move on?)
Won’t you try to see
how far I have come?
That’s all behind me
Won’t you find the strength to forgive?

Definitely deafening
this wailing melody
Riots, arsons and looting
seem so ordinary
CHORUS
This wise man's standing here, holed up, away from it all
Calm, devoid of fear, he knows it will die down
Still bearing the scars of senseless wars he made
He’s imploring the stars in a fit of despair
He sees insanity
through his tiny window
Accustomed to this kind
of preposterous show
CHORUS 2
He feels guilt and shame
staring at the sky, waiting for a divine sign
He knows it would be the same
seeing their vacant eyes dazzled by so many lies
This wise man's standing here
This wise man's standing here
