[Verse 1] This burden They are the scourge of mankind Fear is their profit And they will never rest Producing sorrow and distress Incitement of a monstrous industry This is the time to act Just cut your idle talk We're getting nowhere fast Just cut your idle talk [Pre-Chorus] Ruthless accessories Preaching dogma from the past Decades of stagnation But this order will not last This is the time to act [Chorus] But you send thoughts and prayers Yet we will never rest You ache for prudent leaders, but there are none Declare your silent surrender, thy will be done [Verse 2] Inhuman policies Serving their crime-fueled companies A well-known syndicate But no regime is built to last Numbered days Embrace all coming tragedies [Pre-Chorus] Your fall from grace Just drifting, you're sinking Descending from your decadence Why should you take the blame? Just lying, you're crawling Before this blood-stained shrine This is the time to act [Chorus] But you send thoughts and prayers Yet we will never rest You ache for prudent leaders, but there are none Declare your silent surrender Thy will be done [Bridge] And now you dare to tell me That we shall never mourn again We never mourn again And again I hear their hollow sermon There will never be a compromise Just empty words Forsaken are the victims But they will never fall [Chorus] We see the signs of time And we will never rest You ache for prudent leaders, but they're all gone We are the final resistance

[Verse 1] Absolute rule Reason alone did not prevail Only one hope Your time is up And all new entities Will dawn and they'll be risen from no ashes Merciless and adamant All options gone We are surrounded by the wolves [Refrain] Es zwingt Dich auf die Knie Vor Unerbittlichem stehst Du allein Und voller Zweifel im Zustand der Angst Endlich, beugt sich Dein Haupt der Übermacht English: It forces you on your knees In front of the Relentless you stand alone And full of doubt in a state of fear Finally, your head bows to the Overpower Du hast die Henker selbst gewählt Hast jeden Widerstand aus Deinem Geist verbannt Als die Jahre des Handelns verstrichen Dein Tanz im Lügenreigen Brachte Dein treues Herz zum Schweigen English: You’ve chosen your own executioner You have banished all resistance from your mind As the years of action went by Dancing in the roundelay of lies Silenced your loyal heart [Chorus] Days of the green wolves dawning A new hegemony ascending, survive at any cost Like flies you'll crowd around the only light [Verse 3] No storm will sweep away what you call safety No war will swallow all your rapture For generations, unfolding in obscurity Lifted upward to the stars by collective heresy [Chorus] Days of the green wolves dawning A new hegemony ascending, survive at any cost Now you know, time wasted is time lost [Refrain] Es ist vorbei Vor Unerbittlichem stehst Du allein Und ohne Gnade hör' ich die Seelen brechen Endlich, devot folgst Du dem Übergang English: It is over In front of the Relentless you stand alone And without mercy I listen to souls shattering Finally, devout you follow the Transition [Verse 4] Did you never see the shadows? Freedom from danger is no more How could you fail to hear the echoes? The calling of impending doom [Chorus] Days of the green wolves dawning A new hegemony ascending, survive at any cost So much too late you saw and understood [Outro] Es zwingt Dich auf die Knie Endlich, beugt sich Dein Haupt der Übermacht English: It forces you on your knees Finally, your head bows to the Overpower

These are the final days Of your pharisaic unconcern So just stand back And witness the fall Of modern Babylon! New empires rose from ashes And they will fall to dust Just like these everlasting fortresses will burn Believed to be untouchable Invulnerable Not taken by an alien army But eroded And weakened from within By rotten dogma And indifference Awake! Now fools will be your leaders And these jesters are your only hope? Drowning in decadence and degeneration As inbred modes of thought Will degrade all of your cultures This elitism has lead you down the darkest path Take up the baton This is not the time for declining battles Never stop disputing Never stop the struggle This enemy is wide awake And willing to march way ahead of us! They all preach harmony But they just promote surrender And their poisoned peace will suffocate! As liars rise to speak Yes, we shall wander this world As wolves among sheep Yet, they shall not claim these words! They will not take this mind! And here I stand I can do no other! I come into this unforgiving conflict So deep within the darkest abyss Excommunicated, expatriated But still fighting amidst the heart of blackness No longer am I misled by your deceitful hopes Embracing the certitude of victory The triumph of integrity This is my strife For all eternity Und wie die Motten um das Licht So tanzt Du weiter um das Feuer, das die Welt verbrennt Stehst lauthals lachend Und doch taub und blind vor einem unbestechlichen Gericht Das Licht von Schatten Das Existenz von Nichtsein trennt Dein geschundenes Herz Geknechtet und betrogen Von falschen Träumen, Verblendung und unsäglicher Vernunft Klagt Dich und Deine eitlen Götter endlich an! Dort steigt kein milder Nebel der Vergessenheit Es fällt kein Tuch des Schweigens über all die Zweifel All die Lügen! Denn Dein Wissen siegte niemals über deine Taten Du hast verstanden und gesehen Doch niemals aufbegehrt Hier triffst Du die Wahrhaftigkeit Erbarmungslos Doch auch gerecht und rein Ein kalter, klarer Blick in stille Tiefen Deines Seins Aus diesem Abgrund starren Dich Hellwach, die Augen aller Deiner Ängste an Und tausend Stimmen Deiner Feinde Verkünden eine hohe Wahrheit Die wohl niemals vor in Dein Gewissen drang: Eure Führer Eure Farben All Eure geliebten Staaten Und alles, was Euch heilig ist Sind nichts als Treibgut In den ewigen Gezeiten Von Aufstieg Herrschaft Niedergang! English: l eternity Und wie die Motten um das Licht So tanzt Du weiter um das Feuer, das die Welt verbrennt Stehst lauthals lachend Und doch taub und blind vor einem unbestechlichen Gericht Das Licht von Schatten Das Existenz von Nichtsein trennt Dein geschundenes Herz Geknechtet und betrogen Von falschen Träumen, Verblendung und unsäglicher Vernunft Klagt Dich und Deine eitlen Götter endlich an! Dort steigt kein milder Nebel der Vergessenheit Es fällt kein Tuch des Schweigens über all die Zweifel All die Lügen! Denn Dein Wissen siegte niemals über deine Taten Du hast verstanden und gesehen Doch niemals aufbegehrt Hier triffst Du die Wahrhaftigkeit Erbarmungslos Doch auch gerecht und rein Ein kalter, klarer Blick in stille Tiefen Deines Seins Aus diesem Abgrund starren Dich Hellwach, die Augen aller Deiner Ängste an Und tausend Stimmen Deiner Feinde Verkünden eine hohe Wahrheit Die wohl niemals vor in Dein Gewissen drang: Eure Führer Eure Farben All Eure geliebten Staaten Und alles, was Euch heilig ist Sind nichts als Treibgut In den ewigen Gezeiten Von Aufstieg Herrschaft Niedergang! And like moths to the light you continue to dance around the fire which burns the world, laughing at the top of your lungs you stand there and yet you’re deaf and blind in front of an incorruptible court which divides light from shadow, existence from non-existence. Your maltreated heart, subjugated and deceived by false dreams, delusion and unspeakable rationality, finally accuses you and your vain gods! There is no mild fog of forgiveness rising, no veil of silence falling over all the doubts, all the lies! Because your knowledge never even once bested your deeds. You have understood and seen, but never rebelled. Here you meet veracity, ruthless. But also just and pure. A cold, clear gaze into the silent depths of your being. From this abyss, wide awake, the eyes of all your fears stare up at you and thousand voices of your enemies proclaim a high truth which never entered your conscience: Your leaders, your colors, all your beloved states and everything that is holy to you all are nothing but driftwood in the neverending tides of rise, rule, decline!

An everlasting state of conflict Forgotten and remote Disregarded and concealed There is slaughter and bloodshed every day Hunger, pain and forced migration So far away from your safe homes A world engulfed in violence None of your fathers, none of your brothers Sons and daughters lost in action Self-sacrifice, a privilege just granted to the poor The cruelties you know Are black and white So distant in time and space Manipulated And sedated by military vapouring about surgical precision And righteous interventions Now they promise "no feet on the ground" But you're just bored with peace These wars are televised, edited and defanged Blindness No screams of anguish resound No air raid sirens sounding through the night You just consume the horror Entertaining and amusive You're not at war Your land of bliss Lies in an oppressed world of misery There has never been esteem For simple human harmony And you're just bored with peace These wars are long-yearned-for They need these states to burn Believe me, you don't know What war means, what war does to your families Feelings of supremacy Reckless and inconsiderate Contracted patriots heady with victory And lacking ordinary empathy An everlasting state of conflict Forgotten and remote Disregarded and concealed And you're just bored with peace, an abysmal tragedy

We're trapped within an endless loop Of empty words and declarations We will not trust in you This deliberate confusion makes me want to carve the truth (The truth) Into their sneering faces Our time is now All your deceptive protestations I can't stand it anymore We are the wake up call This is the end of your misleading Divide and conquer, your tried and trusted concept Executed and enforced Yes, from year one We see decades elapsing, years passing by This idleness an endless bane In the name of progression, it's time To terminate, to terminate the unconcern And a long time ago I heard your talk about our current age And today you're still discussing times ahead So powerless and impotent Phrases all repetitive I say future You mean futures I scream future You hear futures Your talk is cheap A fight for tomorrow means The uncompromising transformation of today Before uneasy truths become just bitter certitudes Yes, all must change to save the status quo We see decades elapsing, years passing by This apathy a heavy blame I cannot wait for confessions It's time to terminate Terminate the unconcern As all your lies became convictions And blind beliefs infected common sense We cannot wait for shining saviors We will end your tampering The days of your timeworn doctrines are over Your fall from power imminent And never again will you fail to fulfill Your duties and commitments Those days are over Gone forever Strength of purpose will now rule Your corrupt world You shall be driven

[Verse 1] This is a life led in the shadows of your greed As all your rotten leaders keep on corrupting our peace So profit-craving and addicted to increase There is no limit No giving over But I swear that this cold man-eating machine will be destroyed And shall rust away This is a land crushed by the pressure of your lies Since mindless wastage and consumption Growing stronger day by day [Chorus] There is this cause you once called guilt Now you just wash it off your hands Yes, we are the children of a lesser god But hear my oath, we shall untie this Gordian knot Never kiss the hands of the swayers [Verse 2] This is a man, scarred by injustice and defeat Enslaved and kept away from education Now so frustrated and distracted, on their knees They beg for reform, they pray for rescue To the masters of their earthly misery I swear I'll throw just everything against my bitter fate [Chorus] There is this cause, you once called guilt Yet you just wash it off your hands Yes, we are the children of a lesser god But hear my oath, we shall untie this fatal knot Never kiss the hands of the swayers And never bow to servants and betrayers [Bridge] There is no conflict, as none of you has any interest in me Where rights of men should rule, there are just blindness Disregard and apathy, your shining promise This so-called pursuit of happiness, it's all exclusive It's just a lie to keep you warm [Outro] World conquest This baneful dogma of reckless accretion Your highest law and order Within the darkness of your domineering ignorance We roam about, we go astray And nothing you will ever hear about this struggle About this lonely fight for survival

I speak of truth and sacrifice, yes here I am to end this rightless rule at last. High, high, high, high were your dreadful hopes, high, high, high, high are your casualties. Yes I defy your leaders! As long as this heart beats there will be defiance. As long as these eyes see they'll look for hope. Ad infinitum! All the hatred you invoke, only one spark to light the masses, to turn the fearful calm into a raging storm to liberate this world. I dream of peace and equity but all this oppression it leaves no choice for me. High, high, high, Heidegger is marching, high, high, high, high minded and reckless. "Tant que mon cœur battra, il battra de défi. Tant que mes yeux pourront voir, ils chercheront de l'espoir. Il ne brisera jamais, tant que je respirerai, je serrerai le poing." As long as this heart beats there will be defiance. As long as these eyes see, they'll look for hope. You'll never break these hands, as long as I breathe I'll clench my fists. Ad infinitum! All the hatred you invoke, only one spark to light the masses, to turn the fearful calm into a raging storm to liberate this world. Unbroken, hard minded. Unbroken, hard minded.

We welcome the wandering years We follow the road of destinies And ten thousand men ride by my side Leaving their homes and pasts behind At my command, the greatest armies fall like leaves And I triumph, so I carry the sorrows of victory A feeling of fatedness captures my mind We are the favoured few and I'm the chosen one Bright eyes stare Now I carry the sorrows of victory And dark eyes glisten A passage at arms, in veneration of the enemy As crusaders leave their fortresses Sent by the only god Blessed and elected man at arms I see a grand and noble army of the highest knights Brave and superior Elite leaders never to be conquered Yield to their fate Delivered to the splendid force of destiny Their graceful providence predestinated By the holy ghost alone Their death defiance is so vital for this upright war They ride with courage born from true belief Boundless devotion until their self-abandonment From the beginning longing for his glorious order To be immortal and eternalized As deathless songs will carry all their names This glorious endeavor eternalized Ad perpetuam memoriam Gone are their colours All saviors lost without a trace Set to each other by the same divinity As they stare into an unknown distance Untold passages at arms Welcome his triumph, eternally And we carry the sorrows of victory Oh, this glorious disaster, immortalized Per omnia saecula saeculorum (I carry the sorrows of victory) In perpetuum As crusaders reach the promised land Their sense of mission unrestrained I see a grand and noble army of the highest knights Doomed and convicted Haunted elite leaders never to return Per omnia saecula saeculorum In perpetuum

[Verse 1] My bitter truth I am stateless, just drifting loveless Born into a dungeon and brought up by despair Haunted by distress, isolated, dominated [Chorus] Never will I reach my final haven And your freedom burns my soul For I am stateless, no past will set my future Oh, how I miss the purity of my heart [Verse 2] There was nothing that I knew about your world And the more I learn, the more I grow apart from you I've never met an honest smile I never felt a caring touch My bitter truth [Chorus] And never will I reach my final haven And your liberty just confined me For I am stateless, no past will set my future Oh, how I miss the purity of my heart [Bridge] All this falseness, all your vanities and stains Your pointless pains and sorrows It's raining down on me like countless burning arrows Just scorch my body and pierce my unshielded soul Pointless Escaped into a world full of deceit I never learned to live under a thousand creeds [Chorus] Never will I reach my final haven As my inner dungeon defines me For I am stateless, no past will set my future Oh, how I miss the purity of my heart [Outro] My bitter truth My bitter truth I am stateless

[Verse 1] Sitting on watch In deep and icy boreal fjords Yet untouchable A man-made mountain of cold Wotan-Stahl Wielding a silent reign of terror From afar, northernmost Summoned to this distant post Still shrouded under heavy clouds And worthy crowned by glacial mountain chains Absolute supremacy [Chorus] A fleet in being Avoided fearfully By all her enemies The lonely queen of the north Raising her lethal scepter All superior artillery But doomed to fall as the last of her kind [Verse 2] A cathedral of steel Dedicated to annihilation and dismay Wearing the signum of oppression Surrounded by auroras of perdition Breathing chemical fog Even trees refuse to grow [Chorus] A fleet in being Despised abysmally By all her enemies The lonely queen of the north Raising her lethal scepter All superior artillery But doomed to fall as the last of her kind [Post-Chorus] Direct hits Out of clear skies Twelve thousand pounds Armor piercing Tallboy bombs Putting an end To her command The death knell sounding Over this iron tomb [Outro: Sample] Now through the clouds above the north coast of Norway The camera of an Australian Lancaster spots the Tirpitz in the Tromsø fjord Smokescreens stream around the great battleship But earthquake bombs drop toward the target and hit Flak puffs dangerously around the plane An earthquake bomb bursts on the shore But three others hit the Tirpitz fore, aft, and amidships Below in Tromsø fjord, as the Tirpitz keels over, shrouded in smoke The shadow of Nazi conquest shrinks from the north

Unmask the lies Expose the filthy liars Combat the untruth A lonely voice among the mute You are the only one to see through all deception Shunned by the world, an arrogant establishment Your fear of sooth No urge to get real And wake the demon of self-awareness And ye shall know the truth And it shall set you free Mental overload And complete failure Run like a common thread through all your lives No, you never take the blame Scapegoating Stubborn, escaping reliance Deny a social contract, no rational perception Abhorrence of science Elevation of deceivers, hysteria Infatuation Your fear of sooth No urge to get real And ye shall know the truth And it shall set you free Again and again Your faint ideas, your antic guesswork Replacing common sense Truthers Truthers Tragic figures

The bio-sphere, the place we live It seems like we don't give a damn Other species flushed down the tubes We need another race to rape The way we live we will destroy Every other living thing 'Til none are left except our race And then we will destroy ourselves Another oil spill Atomic waste displaced Another forest dies Bring on the acid rain Slightly insane, the type of greed That makes a world unfit for life Toxic wastes destroy the seas While poison gas pollutes the air A waste of life, while no one cares The earth becomes a giant tomb Critical mass will be achieved And ruins will be all that's left Another oil spill Atomic waste displaced Another forest dies A Hell on Earth, what we create Dragging life to death with us All living things destroyed or used By shortsighted human beings We do these things, let them be done Apathy creates despair The damage done will be too great The world wounded beyond repair Another oil spill Atomic waste displaced Another forest dies

[Intro] Yes, I I see eagles among vultures And I I am an eagle among vultures Yes, I lead off the fight As an eagle among vultures But I survive [Verse 1] Yes, I am drifting, I am swaying to and fro As I pay the price For all this dissolution But I never lost my compass Purposeful, I stand upright Rectitude against all odds And strong my will to sacrifice But a steady object of damnation [Chorus] There are untold fights within me And my fair rage tries to break free Alienation and unrest are my constant company It is a million of them versus a thousand like me [Post-Chorus] I am an eagle among vultures Yes, I know It is a million of them Versus a thousand like me [Verse 2] There's just no deference towards the needy and the weak I see misuse of power, I feel regard declining A community so disunited and corrupted Only fist law will prevail [Chorus] Still there are untold fights within me And my fair rage tries to break free It took so many tries and setbacks to see It is a million of them versus a thousand like me [Bridge] Yes, I I see eagles among vultures And I I am an eagle among vultures But I survive I take this strife I hear them talk like masters Not like servants I see them guard the palace Not the shacks [Chorus] There are untold fights within me For all one is worth, pushing the law towards equality And always wary to not fall between the cracks It is a million of them versus a thousand like me
