1. Against


The more I see, the more I hate
The more I learn, the more I fake
The less I try, the less I get
The less Iīm in, Iīm never out

Donīt do that / I knew it
Donīt do that / I knew it, knew it

You donīt know and I donīt know
The circle seems the same
Falling down or standing up
I care what is against

Donīt do that / I knew it
Donīt do that / I knew it, knew it

What the fuck / You blew it
What the fuck / You blew it, blew it

Against!
Against!



2. Choke


Pray for another life
Pay, regain your pride

See your brain / Choke
Watch it drain / Choke
See your greed / Choke
Watch it breed / Choke

Fake, youīre falling down
Choke, your neck is broken

See your brain / Choke
Watch it drain / Choke
See your greed / Choke
Watch it breed / Choke

Victim in conflict, the ambush of fear
My doubt, my limit, the pulse of my war

See your brain / Choke
Watch it drain / Choke
See your greed / Choke
Watch it breed / Choke



3. Rumors


Loss for words - you lost respect
Food for thoughts - youīre just a fool
Mind of the weak, nonsense says

The rumors will never die
The rumors are only lies
The rumors donīt let you breathe
Talk is cheap

Games of lies - just fucking lies
Itīs all wrong - youīre full of shit
Nothingīs straight, no!
Low moves, low moves

The rumors will never die
The rumors are only lies
The rumors donīt let you breathe
Talk is cheap

I thought Iīve heard
I thought Iīve said
I thought was right
Itīs never wrong

Let it be, just let it be
Never mind, just never mind
Thatīs all you have, thatīs all you got
Never say what you never will

The rumors will never die
The rumors are only lies
The rumors donīt let you breathe
Talk is cheap



4. Old Earth


We gamble with life fighting tribes after tribes
Colors and races misplaced in the spaces
Weīre falling, weīre crawling, weīre crying, denying

Heavy rain shaking ground, no roots will be found
Hate from my mother, the limits of mankind
Weīre lying, weīre dying, destroying

The earth is rotting, the earth is rotting
Rot old old earth
The earth is growing, it keeps on growing
Rot old old earth

Believing in gods and spirits that can save us
Shout to the skies and disturbing the peace
Weīre rioting, weīre shouting, weīre killing, denying

Involved in our minds but not by our own actions
Consume all the wealth, thereīs no hope for redemption
Weīre burning, weīre cutting, destroying

Can you feel? Can you feel it leave!
The earth is rotting, the earth is rotting
Rot old old earth
The earth is growing, it keeps on growing
Rot old old earth



5. Floaters In Mud


Stuck in the ground
Shopping for support, nothing can be found
The mind floats around
Crashing back and forth, never really stopping

Turn around and try to face yourself
You may think it looks like someone else

Look from outside, they donīt heal
Iīm passing through, shaking hands
Eyeless, shit-faced, theyīre not real
Mud in the brain, all insane

Turn around and try to face yourself
You may think it looks like someone else

Raw display of pain
No shelter, refugee

Floaters in mud

Turn around and face yourself...



6. Boycott


Urban war, cracked-up child
Painted in blood on concrete walls
Carbonic gas, cancer land
What do I care? What do I care?
Is he prepared? Can he face that?
He must handle the truth of real demands

Strike Boycott

Armed and ill, psycho kill
Thereīs no ground holding my feet up
Trained to serve but I steal
What do I care? What do I care?
Protect society who pays me shit
Itīs south of the world, no justice sire

Strike Boycott

Stressful mind, fucked up life
I know the end can be suicide
Suicide, suicide
What do I care? What do I care?
Boycott the trigger and youīll have no feedback
Boycott the force that kept the sick in their beds

Iīll boycott the trigger and youīll have no feedback
With hands tied, I canīt receive what I need

Reserve no honor
Reserve no pride

Strike Boycott



7. Tribus


- instrumental



8. Common Bonds


efore weīre born
Before we walk
Before we talk and hate
Yet to come the perfect rule

After we win
After we lose
After the dawn is late
Do it now or shut your mouth

No lack of trust, just trust myself
No more perhaps, no more false step
Changes in sight, sight!
Common bonds

Fear the fate thatīs not the shape of the soul
Trust the heart and share to ease the pain
No mistake is big enough to bring you down
The wrinkles on your face is strength in your mind

No lack of trust, just trust myself
Changes in sight, sight!
Common bonds

The urge to win
A time to strike
Follow no one
Follow no one

Strength in mind



9. F.O.E.

10. Reza


O desespero, a dor, o medo
Fatores decisivos que te obrigam a pensar
O vinho e sangue, a carne e o pao
Chagas que nao fecham que intrigam sua vida
O ceu e o inferno, a cruz o perdao
A luz no fim do tunel e vida depois da morte
Voce tomou sua decisao
Nao espere julgamento sua alma esta perdida

Rezar - Rezar - Rezar - Rezar

Heresia / maldicao
O pai, o filho, o espirito santo
Ignoram os fieis que nao se cansam de rezar
Gritam, cantam a oracao
Desculpem eu lamento eles nao vao te escutar

Rezar

Arrependei-vos pecadores
A penitencia purifica
O sangue escorre
A dor fascina
So o medo te faz rezar

A guerra e santa o pecado e mortal
A hostia consagrada que tem gosto de esfiha
Tortura, fogueira, a inquisicao
O passado violento da igreja e normal
Armagedon, destruicao
O fim do mundo e pouco pra fuder a sua vida
Enriquecer, ressucitar

Em nome de Jesus nao me comece a chorar

Rezar - Rezar - Rezar


English translation by OmegaRed/David Ache

he despair, the pain, the fear
Decisive factors that make you think
The wine and blood, the flesh and bread
Wounds that do not heal that intrigue your life
Heaven and hell, the cross and the forgiveness
The light in the end of the tunnel and life after death
Youīve made your decision
Donīt wait for trial (judgement?), thereīs no hope for your soul
(literal translation: "Donīt wait for trial, your soul is lost")

Pray - Pray - Pray - Pray

Heresy, Curse
The father, the son, and the Holy Ghost
They ignore the faithful that donīt stop praying
(literal translation: "They ignore the faithful that donīt get tired of praying")
They scream, sing the prayer
Iīm sorry, but they wonīt listen to you

Pray - Pray - Pray - Pray

Regret, sinners
The penitence purifies
The blood drips
The pain fascinates
Only fear makes you pray

The war is sacred, the sin is mortal
The Host that tastes like esfiha
Torture, fire, inquisition
The violent past of the Church is normal
Armaggedon, destruction
The end of the world is not much to fuck your life
To enrich, to resuscitate
In the name of Jesus donīt start crying



11. Unconscious


The deepest pain inside
The highest price to pay
The biggest lies are said
Iīm just a fake in life

Unconscious Unconsciousness
Unconscious Unconsciousness

Alone I fall again
My blood runs through my veins
My brain and my strength
No longer are the same, no!

Unconscious Unconsciousness
Unconscious Unconsciousness

The moment of truth
Destroy the sense of it
I thought that was then
I thought that was me

Still I fear Unconsciousness
Still I seek Unconsciousness

13. Drowned Out


He just takes whatīs his
Can never see an end
Build a wall of selfishness
To block out all your fears

I canīt forget, I wonīt forget
I canīt forget, I wonīt forget
You donīt owe me shit

Never any remorse, never any remorse
Always turning your back
Drowned out, drowned out

Thereīs no compromise
Only hate inside
I decided long ago
I would never be so blind

I canīt forget, I wonīt forget
I canīt forget, I wonīt forget

Never any remorse, never any remorse
Always turning your back
Drowned out, drowned out

Feel no shame
Show no shame
You donīt owe me shit!



14. Haltred Aside


Explode in disorder, no matter the prize
Steps on the path the righteous do find
Try as they will but they cannot divide

Time is relentless, pushing us on
Restoring our fate, we never lost sight
Spirits evolving, flowing as one
Having no limits, all hatred aside
Try as they will but they cannot divide

To divide - To divide - To divide

Live for the sound loud to survive
My will has no bounds to keep this alive
Truth pave the way to the world that I know
Love for our brothers weīll not fail to show
Learn what we hear, see what we feel
The air that I breathe could not be more real
Spit out bitter pill that made me want to hide
Try as they will but they cannot divide

Cannot divide - Cannot divide - Cannot divide
No!!!

Time is your enemy only if you let it be
I wonīt let my future get away from me
Listen - let go - out of my mind
Out of my mind - listen - let go

Need to reach, seek to find
Will not breach, cannot divide
