Sepultura - Arise
Sepultura - Arise
Arise
[Lyrics: Max]
Obscured by the sun
Apocalyptic clash
Cities fall in ruin
Why must we die?
Obliteration of mankind
Under a pale grey sky
We shall arise...
I did nothing, saw nothing
Terrorist confrontation
Waiting for the end
Wartime conspiracy
I see the world - old
I see the world - dead
Victims of war, seeking some salvation
Last wish, fatality
I've no land, I'm from nowhere
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Face the enemy
Maniac thoughts
Religious intervention
Problems remain
3. Desperate Cry
[Lyrics: Andreas]
Sacrifice is pleasure
When life ends in pain
Conceive the last mistake
Which belongs to all
Creation of insane rule
All we hear:
Desperate cry
4. Murder
[Lyrics: Max]
Chaotic violence in my eyes
This whole world moves backwards
Peace, another sign that lies
Life today is not worth the pain
On the radio, another homicide
Inmates suffocate in jail
Severed heads of revolt
I wish I'd never been born
Same hand that builds - destroys
Same hand that relieves - betrays
Same hand that seeds - burns
Same peace that exists - here lies
I can't trust anymore
Criminals within the law
I have something to say
Where I live, don't believe in another day
5. Subtraction
[Lyrics: Andreas]
First generation born
A plague was created
The cure is in my mind
Solitude is all I see
Powerful nations repress feeling
Buried beneath the fear
Making you a coward
Buying your safety
Grey shadows fill your head
Stealing your last breath
Scared of the future
Prophecies of chaos
Subtraction of personality
Within the human race
You'll always be
Green castles from the past
Bleed in sands of war
No man is immortal
History is no more
Confused leaders behind our backs
Stifling our ideas
Misunderstand signs of progress
Minds of time regress
Searching for an answer
To understand myself
Trying to save our world
While they kill the Universe
Green castles from the past
Bleed in sands of war
No man is immortal
History is no more
Subtraction of personality
The Earth will never
Be born again
6. Altered State
[Lyrics: Andreas]
Fear in my subconscious
Terror invades my speech
Faith in my own words
No one knows the nameless
Warm winds and burning tears
Spirits outside bodies
Endless repression by majority
A master without command
Strange new dimension disturbing my brain
Censored ideas, counterfeit answers
Shining blast, no perception
Altered state, no reaction
Shining blast
Altered state
Slow talk, fast thoughts
Ancient scriptures
Controversial lines
Knowledge changes
Running in the wrong direction
Crossing with blind eyes
I'm closer to myself
Sanity can't invade
8. Meaningless Movements
[Lyrics: Andreas]
Born with remorse
To a cold barren place
Battle between minds
Hungry for words of prey
Contradictory truth
Secrets in lies
Meaningless movements
Icons review their sins
Faith cheaper than thou
Doubting your ideals
9. Infected Voice
[Lyrics: Andreas]
Fear ties you up
And you don't grow
Being wrong and lost
No one admits the defeat
Conscience is fair
Unfaithful words
Betrayal and greed
Past thoughts to win alone
Envy - still strong
Hatred - still alive
From beyond - an empty world
10. Orgasmatron
I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in my pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.
