Sunny Days 02:57
Gleaming cities in the night hide the darker things from sight, and the redness in the western sky is no omen for a fool's delight, but for Sunny days full of slaughter Is this the only way we can live, is this our precious fate? Is this the way we have to die, is there really no escape from these Sunny days full of slaughter Is this the way it has to end? We're all so specialized. Will there be tasks for all the hands and a highly modern way to lie in wait for these Sunny days full of slaughter...

New World 03:30
The last thing I remember was the laughter all around. A room of voices so familiar in the blinding essence drowned. There's no time to outrun the moment when it arrives with a screaming sound. There's no where to stand in wonder when a modern city's melted down in a new world, in a new world. Who will hear these cries of horror, who'll record this history? Is this your second coming, our common destiny? Thought itself is consumed in silence, all experience and memory. It was clear that the day was coming but we were all awaiting the discovery of a new world, of a new world. This is your new world.

Disappeared 02:24
To the ones who raised their voices who defied the rule of law who fought for a share of justice in a world with nothing at all. To the ones who opposed the power who refused to live in fear who choked on the ends of rifles and were hanged in the public squares. These names purged from the pages of official histories still explode in the sterile darkness kept alive by the memories. They came with no warning, they came in the dead of night, they came with the cries of morning to extinguish the brilliant lights. These names purged from the pages of official histories still explode in the sterile darkness kept alive by the memories.

Their eyes are drunk with judgement, with righteousness and scorn. They curse and jeer the row of convicts. The executioner cleans his sword. Cries of hatred, cries of vengeance resound. The fanfare erupts every time the blade crashes down. Before every death a muttered prayer absolves them of all sense of shame. The consecrated sword of justice does the will of god and state. Cries of hatred, cries of vengeance resound. The fanfare erupts every time the blade crashes down. But there's no justice here - how could there ever be? Where genocide and unchecked slaughter is the foundation of society.
5.
Wasted Hours 02:10
There's no sense, there's no meaning, in the lies that we keep repeating. There's no purpose and no second chance. We hide it, we conceal it but there's no use, you can feel it - how their power consumes our lives. Is there something redeeming about a life spent kicked and bleeding, milked and slaughtered, stripped of all our time? How many wasted hours, these wasted days and years, so hard to tell apart from the ones before? Trapped in these cycles we lose sight of what we're living for, we learn to thank them for our survival. How deep inside our bodies, how deep inside our minds how deep inside our bodies, how deep inside our minds did they implant the roots of their power?
