Under the Banner of Emptiness lyrics * * * Emptiness We are a failure, a creature of god Who does not exist, but tears us apart Thrown to existence by our sham pride Emptiness, Emptiness is our guide, our guide Emptiness, Emptiness is our guide, our guide And oh we are golems who fall and who rise As mighty Lord Random is throwing his dice We all will be gone when he throws six six six Emptiness, Emptiness - it's her tricks, her tricks Emptiness, Emptiness - it's her useless tricks We are the rain, drops in the flow Wishing to reach the ocean far below But when we land we just crash on the ground Emptiness, Emptiness is our bound, our bound Emptiness, Emptiness is our bound, our bound We are the sand in wastelands forlorn We are so many still we're so alone Guided by wind we roam and we fly Emptiness, Emptiness - when we die we die Emptiness, Emptiness - when we die we just die We haunt for freedom, a ghost in the fog But our feet stuck deep in the bog We yearn for love still being so cruel Emptiness, Emptiness - our hopeless duel Against Emptiness we bare our hopeless duel Sometimes we feel that there is some sense It's imagination, then we understand But we will make the same mistake once again Emptiness, Emptiness - all is lost in the end Emptiness, Emptiness - all is lost in the end Emptiness, Emptiness, Emptiness... * * * Under the Banner of Emptiness Under the banner of Emptiness We walk through the ruins of holyness So free, so free Dressed in grey ordinary clothes With minds full of uneasy thoughts So we go, so we go Carrying the cross of humanity We crawl through this rotten society So lost, so lost Behind the walls of estrangement Struggling with inner derangement So vast, so vast We don't believe in authorities We have discarded our memories By free will, by free will We're not harassed by big ideas Rather we want to live in peace And to go, and to go Under the banner of Emptiness Under the banner of Emptiness Under the banner of Emptiness Under the banner of Emptiness * * * Running Circles We're not able to throw off the chains of past We are indifferent to what happens to us We almost have been lost in this plain terrain We are soaked to the skin in this heavy rain Can't you see - we're running circles Don't you feel - we're running circles And we know nothing And we know nothing We are blaming ourselves with the sign of cross We are killing each other in worthless wars Can't you see - we're running circles Don't you feel - we're running circles And we know nothing And we know nothing And we know nothing And we know nothing Like the Sun is whirling around the Earth We are playing relay-race of death and birth Making progress we are not unless towards the end * * * There Are People There are people who struggle all the time Don't even know for what they fight They are fighting 'cause they have been told so Pain and destruction they sow Don't believe you're right - there's nothing Don't look at the sky - there's nothing Don't believe you're right - there's nothing Don't look at the sky There are people who think they are strong They would laugh at this song There are people who don't care about a fact That all their life could be wrong Don't believe you're right - there's nothing Don't look at the sky - there's nothing Don't believe you're right - there's nothing Don't look at the sky There are people abused by mind-worms Ideas replicated in ugly forms Grown by sick-minded ones who think they know the way If this is the way I'd better stay Don't believe you're right - there's nothing Don't look at the sky - there's nothing Don't believe you're right - there's nothing Don't look at the sky * * * Media (original lyrics by Tony Wakeford) Here we go again: the same old lies again The empty words again, the pigs can fly again From Wall Street to your heart Neon Hollywood lights the dark Hear the bleating of the sheep At the jokes of a media creep And there's nothing I can say No there's nothing I can say And there's nothing I can say No there's nothing, nothing, nothing See a world of tanks, ruled by a world of banks Turn up you TV set, forget the chains of debt See it all go down the drain Switch channels, do you think it'll change? Lapping prole food in the sun Hail the masses - ugly and dumb And there's nothing I can say No there's nothing I can say And there's nothing I can say No there's nothing, nothing, nothing And there's nothing I can say And there's nothing I can say And there's nothing I can say No there's nothing, nothing, nothing * * * So Let Us Live And we know there is no god And we know in noone we could find comfort And we know that there is no warmth or love So let us live our life So let us live our life And we know we are alone And we know everyone will throw at us a stone And we know that one day we'll suffer and die So let us live our life So let us live our life And we know we live our life in vain And we know around us sorrow and pain And we know that every bastard can stab us with a knife So let us live our life So let us live our life And we know nothing to fear 'Cause we know all demons are already here And we know that very soon they'll destroy this hive So let us live our life So let us live our life * * * Eternal Travel We'll make a circle around the Sol And visit our old mother Earth You know it will be merely a stop In our eternal travel We'll fly to Eta Cassiopea Then traverse to planet Almeya We'll meet ancient Ethereals And their beautiful culture Oh you fly faster than your charming gaze So if we would lose each other's trace We'll meet somewhere around the Arcturus Or you'll wait me on Vega Myriads of stars flash before our eyes Billions of worlds all for us to find Whole universe will become our home In our eternal travel |
