Stand before the gates and watch metropolis Empires come and go we live forever And eternity is in your hidden eyes Take my broken wings teach me to fly again
2x I stand alone We stand alone
Down the empty streets head for the seven hills Vestal virgins dance we steal the fire Battered columns stand as silent monuments Deep inside their dreams I see your memories
3x I stand alone We stand alone We share the last champagne and watch necropolis Still and so let's leave her to her silent walks The sun of Rome is set and our day is gone A kiss a taste of red from your open lips
I speak from a place
Where some talk of signs
Tired superstitions
To drown out the wise
Dark clouds have gathered
To block out the sun
All of our sins
To judge us in turn
Mothers and daughters
Fathers and sons
Would any be counted
To take up the cause
If we can't imagine
That the hour is near
Then all of our sins
Won’t fade with the tears
Do you hear the drums
Of the warmonger's charge
Who feeds on the blood
Of our youngest and brave
Throw oil on the fires
Turn friend against friend
All of our sins
Consume us in flame
I hope you know
I hope you can see
The march is beginning
All over again
Will we ever learn
Will we ever know peace
Before all of our sins
Drag us to the deep
Can you not see them
There's blood on their hands
They rape and they murder
For pleasure and gain
The harbinger comes
In blazes of gold
With fear and destruction
A haven for none
What would it take
To force us to act
Before visions have faded
And hope is worn out
Would we strive to be better
Could we learn from the past
For all of our sins
Atonement at last
For the sake of our conscience
For the sake of our souls
To never more suffer
Peace without end
Or will we pass silent
Into the great night
When all of our sins
Will lie with the dust
Tell me their names
Tell me their names
Look into their eyes
And what do you see
Do you see their pain
And look blindly away
Do you hear their voices
Do you hear their screams
And do you not suffer
Do you know no shame
All those around you
Would banish you away
I hope that their cries
Haunt you till the end
All of your sins
You can’t wash away
For the sake of our conscience
For the sake of our souls
To never more suffer
Peace without end
Or will be pass silent
Into the great night
When all of our sins
Will lie with the dust
For the sake of our conscience
For the sake of our souls
To never more suffer
Peace without end
Lyrics
There's a place where all the people used to go
To ease the pain and cure the suffering
They try to hide their everyday prostitution
They value themselves by comparing themselves to others
They're not like me
I keep my self-deception
Behind a mask of pride and dignity
It seems to me
That they are searching all day
Not knowing what they will find, to be
I don't need the city, it never cared for me
I don't need this pity, of tranquility
I want to see the blue sky, but darkened clouds I see
I don't need the city
I don't need this
There's a place where all the people used to be
And suffocate from all their lies
Somehow they have managed all their misbehavior
To the point of this despite
They're not like me
I hide my self-reflection
Behind a wall of privacy
It seems to me
That I have found my pleasures
In watching them drowning... slowly
I don't need the city, it never cared for me
I don't need this pity, of tranquility
I want to see the blue sky, but darkened clouds I see
I don't need the city
I don't need this
I don't need this
I don't want this
I don't need this
I don't need the city, it never cared for me (cared for me)
I don't need this pity, of tranquility (of tranquility)
I want to see the blue sky (want to see the blue sky)
But darkened clouds I see (darkened clouds I see)
I don't need the city (I don't need the city)
I don't need this
Catatonic a distant hide
I left a bone on a toxic lie
A demagogue that takes sides
Be afraid the state will bite
Loss of pain a whipping substitute
Were all we really want for you
Blind hope is fucking with the dopes that warning when they failed to choose
Or you
What have you got to do?
When the bombs starts breaking
In the meantime
What have you got to do?
When the bombs starts breaking away
Loss of frame in syphilitic hopes breeding in reactive stew
Blind-eyed in cinematic scope but with frameatic infant news
Shift gay the radiation's gay for all the gay want to do
Find blows its spending in your loans
The money money mades anew
For you
What have you got to do?
When the bomb starts checking in the meantime?
What have you got to lose?
When the bomb starts plopping away
When the bomb starts dropping away
Catatonic so blind
Waking up for what is happening
Labor seems so kind
Never watch this, it's not happening
Labor seems so blind
I don't know why this all happening
A vision in
A vision in
Your vision in is blind
The happening is blind
Your vision in is blind
When the bomb starts dropping away
Lyrics:
"Dangerous transmitter of disease..."
"Germs and parasites..."
At letting loose cause to find
And meditate afterlife
The light passes far to high
And the rain starts racing overtime
I'm destitute your resolute
Unjustified police don't shoot
The mighty beast at the feast
Is bringing down all the heat
Slowly grows the body codes
Underground identifies meat
"Dangerous transmitter of disease..."
Rotting in the bloody holds wasted souls
A victim of heat
"These germs are spread and multiplied in the same manner..."
The many who force the flight
The manic knows not to fight
The knife slashes far too wide
And the race starts shrinking overtime
I'm absolute your resolute
Tear it apart
Please don't shoot
This mighty beast is at the feast
And bringing down all the heat
"Now a new generation is ready to carry on the spread of filth and disease"
"Since there are not sufficient natural controls to effectively reduce the population, man must assume the responsibility for stopping this notorious public health enemy."
This is the video teaser for the song "Resolute"
