Lyrics
Human
THE CONSCIENCE:
(verse 1)
It’s time to hate the world,
Human world of domination!
Think, if Earth could talk
just would need only a word:
Nooo!
What are we doing around us?
Right here! Right now! Right
Taking everything,
Consuming all the life,
Parasiting the fate
Now you know what’s the human race!
THE NATURE:
(chorus)
Human!
When will you stop your hungry devastation,
human?!
Human!
Thousands of years spreading like a virus,
human!
Human!
Always feeding your machinery of madness,
human!
Human!
But one day you will not…
(pre-digression)
Saw my lungs!
Rot my veins!
Rape my entrails!
Ohhh!
(digression)
Someday
You will kill the last forest,
And then you,
you won’t be able to breathe and to live
Someday
You will kill the last of me,
But then you,
Then you will die and I will be reborn free!
And you won’t be,
Human!
THE CONSCIENCE:
(verse 2)
Our hunger is out of control
We can not stop our destruction!
Face the coming future
Just we’ll need that same word:
Nooo!
What were we doing in the past?
Right there! Right then! Right
Wasting everything,
Destroying all the life,
Parasiting our fate
Now you know what’s the human race!
THE NATURE:
(chorus)
Human!
When will you stop your hungry devastation,
human?!
Human!
Thousands of years spreading like a virus,
human!
Human!
Always feeding your machinery of madness,
human!
But one day you will not…
(coda)
You will not
Saw my lungs!
Rot my veins!
Rape my entrails!
WAR
Die!
(verse 1)
Hey, you stupid men,
What did you think?
Thousands of years and you did
Not not did not learn this.
Hey, human race,
I am the death,
I’m the destroyer of worlds,
Because my name is WAR!
(chorus)
WAR!
No solution!
WAR!
No solution at all!
(verse 2)
Hey, your fucking brain,
There is no gain,
I’m going to bring you again
The blood, the pain, the death.
Hey, revolting race,
Where is your faith?
The only thing I live is:
The blood, the pain, the death, the WAR!
(chorus)
WAR!
No solution!
WAR!
Brave men, let’s go…
(digression)
WAR!
WAR!
Destruction! Torture! Rape!
Poverty! Famine! Hate!
Disease! Death! Regret!
Liars! (rich!) Power! Farce!
WAR!
Swing Of Love
(verse 1)
Argh! Argh!
Another day I wake up dead,
’cause despite I breathe,
my legs are so tired I can not
get up to keep your swing.
Anyway I’m here, my sweet love,
waiting for your return,
moved, excited and counting the seconds,
trying to raise and get on…
Let’s dance!
(pre-chorus)
BORN to beat my face!
BORN to kick my head!
BORN to teach my child!
BORN to break my faith!
BORN to rot my heart!
BORN to kill myself!
(chorus)
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh!
(verse 2)
One day you brought the hate at home,
everything began.
First your insults and reproach,
later the despise was.
I learnt to dance your swing of love,
taking as own my role.
Everyday I yearned for the change of all,
stupid and guilty I was…
Let’s dance!
(pre-chorus)
BORN to beat my face!
BORN to kick my head!
BORN to teach my child!
BORN to break my faith!
BORN to rot my heart!
BORN to kill myself!
(chorus)
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh!
(digression)
Woman, you do know that
he’s not going to change for
you decide, as the first time,
if to dance!
Victim of his frustrations,
accomplice of domination,
fight or just be a number
more of stadistics!
Fight!
Hit her!
I’m not possession of your fist!
Beat her!
I’m not the face of your shit!
Watch you!
Venom, pestilent virus!
Turn you!
REMEMBER YOUR VILE ATTITUDE!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight!
(verse 3)
Argh! Argh!
Another day I wake up dead,
’cause despite I breathe,
my legs are so tired I can not
get up to keep your swing.
A long time ago we began to dance
and we haven’t stopped yet.
How many years, my sweet love?
How much more remains?
Let’s dance!
(pre-chorus)
BORN to beat my face!
BORN to kick my head!
BORN to teach my child!
BORN to break my faith!
BORN to rot my heart!
BORN to kill myself!
(chorus)
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh! Swing of your love!
Argh!
(coda)
Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!
My Own Hell
(verse 1)
My own hell
Would be to lose your faith
In all this love we give us
So much pain you removed to heal that!
Ohhh! So much pain!
Those times of Fire, Love & Hate
Don’t let me to remember them
If you leave, they will make me
(pre-chorus)
Broken! Rotten!
(chorus)
Circle would end,
Spiral would begin
Going down my whole universe
Earth bleeding tears,
Stars collapsing,
Black holes eating galaxies
(verse 2)
My own hell,
My cosmic enthropic own hell,
Where you are a shadow I dreamt
You, my light from every star was sent!
Ohhh! Look at me!
Look and tell me you are not a dream!
’cause without you there is no peace
If you leave, my heart would be
(pre-chorus)
Broken! Rotten!
(chorus)
Circle would end,
Spiral would begin
Going down my whole universe
Earth bleeding tears,
Stars collapsing,
Black holes eating galaxies
The Great Old One
You!
You!
(digression)
You, The Mindless Blind Daemon!
Boundless Lord of All!
Amorphous Blight of Primal Pain!
Crawling Chaos of Hate!
I summon you to…
Kill!
Them!
(verse 1)
Azathoth,
The King of Gods,
Nuclear Void of Cosmos
Bleeding are my fleeting sockets,
Take and burst my eyeballs!
Let my pain be witness!
Let my blindess sing!
Rape my body and break my soul!
But destroy this world!
(chorus)
Wake from your nightmare!
Break all of your chains!
Chain the human race!
Enslave the consciousness!
Grave for the opponent!
Bane of the innocent!
Crawling Chaos of Hate!
(chorus)
Wake from your nightmare!
Break all of your chains!
Chain the human race!
Enslave the consciousness!
Grave for the opponent!
Bane of the innocent!
Crawling Chaos of Hate!
Hate!
(verse 2)
Azathoth,
Killing of All,
The Great Old One Beyond the Spheres
of the Universe,
Am-
putate my hands,
my legs and everything
I have been and drink
My brain
and all my entrails
gnowing from my inside
You, my Eternal Pain
Doomsday,
for human race,
I will be the first
one, and then the world!
You!
