Human Error
03:27
|
|||
|
Is this the right thing? Or is it just bullshit?
Nowadays we should question everything!
It’s now or never, or we’re doomed forever.
We need to fix this altogether.
I’m tired of lies,
they tear us form the inside.
Corruption likewise.
And you keep being pretentious?
Cause even the best,
the best of us will fall
to the common greed.
The human error,
like a festering wound that never heals.
We become too blind,
too blind to see!
What’s wrong with our society you call democracy.
The rules they lay,
with money they decay.
Handshakes to slay
the honest betrayed.
We lost the war,
the battle and the soul
by letting corruption be the norm.
Is this democracy?

Panic! Panic!
01:06
|
|||
|
The hero is trapped inside and the walls are closing in.
Below the water creatures pull him by his feet.
In the movie, he breaks free and saves the girl.
In this story, he's still trapped and can't let go.
Is this the same feeling?
This is the same feeling.
Is this the same feeling?
This is the same anxiety.
Crawls under my skin.
Doesn't let me sleep.
Keeps closing in
but…
No feeling is the last,
soon the pain will be in the past.

The Stand
03:28
|
|||
|
You’ll see, when all comes down
athough it feels like a suicide,
at least I can say I did everything I could.
Come on, just look around.
Big corporations on the other side.
Do you believe this change will happen as it should?
Yet another threat is on the rise.
You can feel it in your soul,
it throws our backs against the wall.
Yet again we stand prepared for war.
Yes, outnumbered, not alone.
All for one and one for all.
Come on just look around.
Big corporations on the other side.
Do you believe this change will happen as it should?
You’ll see, when all comes down,
athough it feels like a suicide,
at least I can say I did everything I could.
Yet again we stand for war.
Outnumbered, not alone.
All for one and one for all.

Punk Rock Today
03:23
|
|||
|
We see the leaders of the world
always more worried about money, power, and war.
Making everybody fight because
the people, divided, will always be defeated.
Politicians feed the fire with fear and hate.
I cannot follow someone who discriminates.
That's why we need Punk Rock today.
Twenty five years before “Seattle Was a Riot”,
Joe was fighting for a riot of his own.
We murder the government in a minute song.
We all sang with adhesive for an hour long.
When the sun will rise again
we’ll find ourselves singing same old songs.
Will the words mean the same?
Will we learn what we did right or wrong?

Point of No Return
02:31
|
|||
|
Feeling strange inside...
What would be the answer
to the problem I have never faced before?
Chills run up my spine.
Life came out with no guide.
The situation is getting out of hand.
Now it’s time to decide!
Avoiding the point of no return?
Now It needs immediate action.
Approaching the point of no return?
An irreversible reaction.
I do wanna see the other side.
I don’t wanna get an irreversible reaction
I took a leap of faith into the unknown.
I stood from the outside like no one before.

Before, we roamed this land,
500.000 or more.
You made a sport to kill us for...
To kill us for our horns,
Our heads up on the wall.
How can this be fair?
You're the reason we're dying
One day I will be gone,
extinct from this world.
Humanity will cry.
What the hell did we do wrong?!
This is a gun for the voiceless,
A verse for the deceased.

Dead Matador
01:30
|
|||
|
WHEN WILL YOU FUCKERS OPEN YOUR EYES?
Take a second
to consider how important is their life.
Our actions
cause reactions, if we don’t stand idle by.
No, no progress
if we keep repeating our history.
Blood, paint us blood red
like the matador that's gored until is dead.
WE CAN NOT CHOSE
WHOSE LIVES WE USE
For our personal gain.
WE CAN NOT CHOSE
WHOSE LIVES WE USE
For us to entertain.
Now stop looking from the outside!

Make Antti Dance
01:27
|
|||
|
He moves his legs and feet
to a different beat
than you and me,
enjoying every band
no matter small or big.
Erin got him on film.
In summer then he goes
to Punk Rock Holiday.
He jokes with Joey C
and sleeps under a tree.
If you don't make Antti dance
it maybe means you suck.
He has it in his veins to dance.
When the song is fast,
he won’t give a fuck
if anybody is jumping.
He'll pick you up,
give you a hug and...
Dance!
Murder on the dancefloor, dance!
...then continue dancing.
He'll hide a beer,
dance without fear followed by a cheer.
He won’t give a fuck,
so everybody
Dance!

Crossfire
02:44
|
|||
|
Another day has passed feeling the taste of lead,
away from all I desire.
I wish I had a safer place to stay instead
of hiding from crossfire.
I lost everything even a part of me.
Should I’ll be waiting?
No reason to stay, so what are you waiting for?
Life is running low.
We all gotta find then somewhere else to go.
I left behind three kids of mine [away from me]
hoping one day we can all reunite.
One year has passed, they are in a raft [away from me]
left on their own while the war still goes on.
In my home there’s no walls.
Take me away from the drones,
from the sound of the bombs.
Now I’m here all alone.
I can still hear the bombs.
Can I find a new home?
Now I’m here all alone.
Can I find a new home?
I need somewhere else to go.

Kintsukuroi

I can fix you whole.
I can fix you whole again
‘cause you’ve been broken down.
So, let’s make you better than before.
Better than they all could hope for.
Better than they all could hope for.
Don’t let them see you down.
Even though they didn’t fit into their perfect life,
these pieces you gathered down.
These pieces you gathered...
With your inner gold you’ll shine again.
They did cast you out.
You’re on your own again
but don’t let them see you down.
Like a picture in a cracked frame
you shutter into pieces without your own identity.
Don’t let them see you down.
Even though they didn’t fit into their perfect life,
these pieces you gathered down.
These pieces you gathered...
When your loved ones turn into your enemies,
fiends are the family you choose.
Now we fixed you whole.
Now we fixed you whole again
‘cause you’ve been broken down.
We made you better than before.
Much better than they all could hope for.
Better than they all could hope for.

Not So Fast
02:53
|
|||
|
So many goodbyes
feel like a countdown to me.
But for the last one, I won't be there to say:
There's so much of you in me
that I know you will forgive
I'm here writing a song and not helping at home
Don't move so fast.
Stand still and let me
catch up with you.
I don't want you to leave me.
I’m just fucking sad
someday I won't hear you laugh.
I'm just fucking mad.
This is what life is.
One thing
is sure
and it scares us the most.
Will she remember
the conversations we had?
When I was stressed out
and worried about my life.
“Don't worry son you'll get through”
and I did, all thanks to you.
I will always remember the day when your father passed and you wanted me to stay.
Something that will live with me and I won't let it fade away.
And I’ll see you on the other end.
