Electric Chair
Justice: The power decides your destiny
That same power can take your life
When the innocent are its victims
One can wonder where justice lies
And now you're facing a trip to hell
A trip of pain, of grief an tears
You're now living in a terrible nightmare
You starts to feel numb with fear
And there, alone, at night you cry; no one sees through your eyes
That you're alone and no one can - make it easier for what's ahead
In the electric chair, electric chair
Tears in your eyes in the electric chair
In the electric chair, electric chair
Your charge to bear in the electric chair
Dead man walking: your time has come
There's no more time to wonder why
Just another name, another number
And now it's your turn: Your turn to die
Your lifeless corpse still is bound
But you were innocent they finally found
The system realized it much too late
You lost everything: the love, the hate, the fate
And there, alone, at night you cry; no one sees through your eyes
You were not the one to blame: the system put you there
In the electric chair, electric chair
Tears in your eyes in the electric chair
In the electric chair, electric chair
Your charge to bear in the electric chair
In the forest
Now you can't turn back
Out comes the hermit in the middle of the glade
You were warned about finding his shack
Now face the truth for the choice you've made
« What are you doing here? », he questions
« Are you lost? Go back from whence you came
« Better for you to stay with your dejection
« It's still less painful than what lies ahead – leave with shame! »
Now with dusk, light fades from the skies
Only the moon to faintly lit the glade
Out in the trees are multicolored eyes
Looking at you to see what you are willing to trade?
Will you trade your life?
In the forest, you are blind
Without compass, left to divine
In the forest, you are deaf
Sounds abound, left to guess
In the forest, In the forest
Without words, feeling dumb
In the forest, you are real
Choose to heal, make the deal
Now with dawn, sweet brightness abides
Warmth in the clearing but cold in the shade
Gone from the trees the multicoloured eyes
Only the Hermit awaiting to hear what you'll say
You proclaim « I am tired of the lies
« from all others and more from myself!
« I am worth it to open up my eyes,
« accept the truth and be ready to suffer the pain that comes with the change. »
Too dumb to get it
1914, 28th of June: Archduke Franz Ferdinand shot dead
Europe then bleeds and turns into a battlefield
Reaching way beyond the motherlands
Trenches of war, vista full of scars
Standstill for everyone out there
1918: end of the fighting.
Never will we see another conflict like that.
Never again… Never again...
1939, September one: German blitzkrieg in Polish land
Even though, for 2 years, Asia was bleeding
China was being forced to suffer Japan
1941: everybody joined the fun.
The party turned global and no one was spared
1945: how many millions died?
Never will we see another conflict like that.
Never again… Never again...
(Chorus)
The tragedy of history is simple as that
The victors write their side of it with only their crap
By eventuality, time restores the truth for all sides
The tragic reality of all mankind:
History repeats itself because we’re so blind
Each generation too dumb 2 get it through their minds
Two thousand something...
The Hawk of Quraish's firing at any of its people who’s against the mad man
Used to be the enemy lived so far away from me
Now the bullets come from the governing hand
Everyone’s against it. Wants to help stop it
Objections from the bear, dragon, lion and sun
But it’s not their people; their governments are no good
They don’t care about the blood on their hands
