No Trace

The wind is racing through another wasted day,
running through these empty rooms
where no one ever stayed too long.
Well, it's carrying the ashes away
and with them all the memories, the faces and the names,
they leave no trace.
The sightless hands that always reach in vain -
if some sign appeared we wouldn't see it anyway because we know,
condemned to toil for an ignorant elite,
we're just the bodies that shovel shit in their annihilation schemes,
we leave no trace.

All asylum is denied,
and they claim between the lines
that there are no human rights,
only laws, only walls,
and the endless loss of life.
This is all that remains -
no sanctuary in sight.
Not here, not on the other side.
Not here, not on the other side.

Dead End

Trapped in cycles of addiction
of self-abuse and mass decay
These substances medicate depression
but then they just increase the fucking pain
You're staring blankly at the future
The signs all say no second chance
You count the hours and the minutes till it's 7
You count the days and years until the bloody end
It's a dead end.
I see no prospects for the vision of a future
within the confines of this killing state
Enclosed by walls that block the sunlight from the city
where we waste away the final days.
I thought one day I saw an exit in the distance,
it didn't seem so far away.
But that was only an illusion I was dreaming
and that was yesterday.
It's a dead end.
Last dying end.

Void (Demo)

I walked straight through the gates of hell again.
I saw them scattered on the ground again.
The streets were full of death and pain.
The rain was falling on such hypermodern graves.
Falling on the empty thrills,
on the wounds that never heal.
Falling on the twisted steel,
on a void that can't be filled.
All your joys, and all your thrills -
they left a void that can't be filled.
