...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL   (song teksten)

BLACKENED
---------
Blackened is the end
Winter it will send,
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end;
Never will it mend
Never

Chorus:
Fire. 
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackend

Blistering of earth
Terminate it's worth
Deadly nicotine,
kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing never more
Never

Chorus

Blackened

Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life

Termination   (Expiration)
Expiration    (Cancellation)
Cancellation human race

              (Expectation)
Expectation   (Liberation)
Liberation    (Population)
Population lay to waste

See our mother put to death
See our mother die

Solo

Smoldering deacy
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears
Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun
Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dancce of the dead
Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened
Blackened


...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
----------------------
Halls of justice painted green. Money talking
Power wolves beset your door, hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite, they devour
Hammer of justice crushes you. Overpower

Chorus:
The ultimate invanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the thing you say
I can't believe,
I can't believe the price
You pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your string
Justice is done
Seeking no truth
Winnig is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Apathy their stepping stone. So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity, so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns, hoping to find
Inquisition seeking you with crying might

Chorus

Interlude I
Solo
Interlude II

Lady Justice has been raped. Truth assasin
Rolls of rep tape seal your lips. Now your done in
Their money tips her scales again. Make your deal
Just what is truth ? I cannot tell, cannot feel

Chorus:
THe ultimate invanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe,
I can't believe the price
We pay
Nothing can save us
Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seekiong no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real


EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
-------------------

Do you see what I see ? Truth is an offense
You silence for your confidence
Do you hear what I hear ? Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, Keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel ? Bittering distress
Who decides what you express ?
Do you take what I take ? Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

Chorus:
Doesn't matter what you see, or into it what you read
You can do it your own way, if it's done just how I say
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend !
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend !
Freedom with their exception !

Do you fear what I fear ? Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me
Do you choose what I choose ? More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative

Do you need what I need ? Bound'ries overthrown
Look inside to each his own
Do you trust what I trust ? Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie

Chorus

Solo

Do you know what I know ? Your money and your wealth
You silence just to hear yourself
Do you want what I want ? Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring

Chorus:
Doesn't matter what you see, or into it what you read
You can do it your own way, if it's done just how I say
Freedom of choice is made for you my friend !
Freedom if speech is words that they will bend !
Freedom no longer frees you !

Doesn't matter what you see, or into it what you read
You can do it your own way, if it's done just how I say !


ONE
---
Solo

I can't remember anything, can't tell is this is true or a dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream, this terrible silence stops me
Now that the wart is through with me, I'm waking up I cannot see
That there's nothing left to me. Nothing is real but pain now !

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real, in pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal, look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me, just like a wartime novelty;
Tied to machines that make me be. Cut this life off from me !

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Solo

Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me !

Darkness imprisoning me,
all that I see, absolute horror!
I cannot live ! I cannot die!
Trapped in myself, body my holding cell!

Landmine has taken my sight,
Taken my speech, taken my hearing,
Taken my arms, taken my legs,
Taken my soul, left me with life in hell!

Solo


THE SHORTEST STRAW
------------------
Suspicion is your name. Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame. Dishonor
Witchhunt, modern day. Determining decay
The blatant disarray. Disfigure
The public eye's disgrace. Defying common place
Unending paperchase. Unending
Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo, it doth bring.

Chorus:
Shortest straw. Challenge liberty
Downed by law. Live in infamy
Rub you raw. Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you   (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you   (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you   (Shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly. Discrimination why ?
Your inner self to die. Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you. Its teeth and tallons through
Your living catch two-two. Deluding
A mass hysteria. A megalomania
Reveal dementia. Reveal
Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

Chorus

Solo

                (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you  (Shortest straw)
Pulled you for  (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you  (Shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind your hands are tied. Your being ostracized
Your hell is multiplied. Upending
The fall-out has begun. Oppressive damage done
Your many turn to none. To nothing
You're reaching your nadir. Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear. Defending
Channels red
One word said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead

Chorus:
Shortest straw. Challenge liberty
Downed by law. Live in infamy
Rub you raw. Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw. Shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you


HARVESTER OF SORROW
-------------------
My life suffocates. Planting seeds of hate
I've loved, turned to hare. Trapped far beyond my fate
I give, you take this life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth. You turned this love to truth

Chorus:
Anger, misery, you'll suffer unto me
Harvester of sorrow  (Language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow

Pure black looking clear. My work is done soon here
Try gettin back to me. Get back which used to be
Drink up, shoot in. Let the beatings begin
Distrubutor of pain. Your loss becomes my gain

Chorus

Solo

All have said their prayers. Invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes. You'll find where murder lies
Infanticide

Harvester of sorrow  (language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow  (language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow  (6x)


DYERS EVE
---------
Dear Mother, dear Father
What is this hell you have put me through ?
Believer, deceiver
Day in, day out, live my life for you
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call live

Dear Mother, dear Father
Ev'ry thought I'd think you'd disapprove
Curator, dictator 
Always censoring my ev'ry move
Children are seen but are not heard
Tear out ev'rything inspired

Chorus:
Innocence. Torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality. I'm living blindly

Dear Mother, dear Father
Time has frozen still what's left to be
Hear nothing, say nothing
Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee, it's life as is
But damn you for not giving me my chance

Dear Mother, dear Father
You clipped my wings before I learned to fly
Umspoiled, unspoken
I've outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing I've always heard from you
Do as I say not as I do

Chorus

Solo

I'm in hell without you.
Cannot cope without you two
Shocked at the world that I see
Innocent victim, please rescue me

Dear Mother, dear Father
Hidden in your world you've made for me
I'm seething, I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew
 hing, I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this hel
