The Hucksters' Meal

THE HUCKSTERS’ MEAL
Well the killer has to talk
There’s another child to drop
With his skin ploughed by red signs
He does all not to look behind
Mr President is hurt
Unintentionally dead (we hope)
But the killer eats his meal
And you still find time to crow
To crow, to crow, to crow
And a kid is crying
In a fuckin’ cage
And a kid is crying

The Same Old Glory

THE SAME OLD GLORY
Skipping on satellites
I can keep an eye world-wide
The same old story
Some are sitting around the fire
The others move across the sea
And the birds are flying
Echoes from the seventies,
The age of Aquarius has never dawned
At the corner of power and addiction
To see the facts as they are
Trying to make your mark on this footnote
Betray your nature and swear tonight
Driving out the eye of the storm
Spinning out of control
The shape of useless

What You Leave Back

WHAT YOU LEAVE BACK
How do you feel now? Are you satisfied?
Broken off with all, you’ve changed your life
Broad-shouldered, with staring eyes
What’s this temptation to look behind?
What you leave back never returns
What d’u leave back?
Now it’s time to take new root
Choose a lush field, build a firm house
There are many dreams to realize
Don’t be taken up with memories
What you leave back never returns
What d’u leave back?
This sense of dismay that worms into you
You feel the ground shake under your feet
And when you are alone it’s easy to stray
Don’t lose control, gather and keep calm
Don’t lose control, gather and keep calm
No matter what happened on your way
For what you can’t forgive yourself?
What you leave back never returns
What d’u leave back?

THE FOUNDING FATHER
I’ve got friction, got a reaction
I’ve got seeds to grow this place,
So, now, come on!
I’ve got devotion, got a protection
I’ve got my gods on the top of the Olympus
So, com’on!
I’m out there in the middle of fighting
Kick and Punch them on the nose,
Punch up to shed blood
I see statues bear my name
I’m the saviour of the country
Founder of a new homeland
I’m out there in the middle of fighting
And I fought a war not of my choosing
I was kicked out of the country
Drifting to a new homeland
They’ve turned their backs on me
They’ve knocked me off my perch
I’m on a death sweep left holding sand
I’m out there in the middle of nowhere

COLLAPSE
We’re just calling home
Are we waisting time?
Just falling apart
We are spending time
Just calling home
Are we unfit to plead?
It takes a while
Are you breathing?
Maybe it’s just enough
Overthinking
Maybe it’s not your mind
Caught in a landslide
No means of reacting
Are you breathing?
Maybe it’s just enough

SAṂSĀRA / संसार
Walking on a valley with no way out
The only escape is through the sky
It’s like to be on an eternal return
Miles and miles of faces all around
The same gaze that strikes you down
It’s like to bathe in an eternal sun
Something moves my mind
Threatening clouds rage
Over my walk
On a valley with no way out
I take part in this divine plan
At the mercy of flows of air
It’s like to be in a hamster’s wheel
Something moves my mind
Threatening clouds rage
Over my thoughts
Something moves my eyes
Towards a breach in the sky
Over my walk
On a valley with no way out

EUPHELIA / Εὐφήλια
Up to the last grain of sand
Eat it up, leave the torture behind!
You gave us a desolate land
Where can I feed my broken mind?
Ooh baby, ooh dear
You lay down your life ‘cause of greed
Hucksters bought our skin
Flayed, ready for slaughterhouse
Tear apart my flesh, dig in
Do as you damn fucking please
We’re the hucksters’ meal
We’re the hucksters’ meal
Ooh baby, ooh dear
Throw them out from the temple of your heart
Up to the last grain of sand
Up to the last grain of sand
We’re the hucksters’ meal
You lay down your life ‘cause of greed

WAKES
We’re chemical
We’re shy
We’ve lost control
We’re alive
It’s just a careless world
We’re running through the perfect storm
The division bell has rung
Our destiny in fakers’ hands
We hide in walls of stones
The water we feed on has already poisoned
We’re chemical
We’re blind
But we keep our heads above mud
They call it ‘life’
We’re invisible
We’re invincible
We’re invisible

SHADOWS
We’re shadows
With terror
This tremble
We’re shadows
We are the soul of downfall
Media-tortured
We cover up with feathers
To rise into the air
We are the soul of downfall
Fast-fading
We’re shadows…
We are the soul of downfall
Beneath the stones the last cry
