We are the voices Of the voiceless Give us the hate Give us the pain Give us the poison Cause there's nothing That can bring us down No there's nothing That can kill us now I look into your eyes You' re green with envy You fight against me Cause you're so sick of feeling empty Invisible and worthless Go find your own purpose Don’t live your life like this Cause it’s not even worth it We stand above you And you look up to us Who we want to be It's up to us We stand above you And you look up to us Who we want to be It's up to us One unity Together we march to our drums Cause we're one unity One for all and all for one You're waiting for something that will never come Cause your own shadow covers the sun It already ended as it has begun Every second you waste Is a second that's gone Your envy will swing back at you Your envy will swing back at you One unity Together we march to our drums Cause we're one unity One for all and all for one We stand above you And you look up to us Who we want to be It's up to us We stand above you And you look up to us Who we want to be It's up to us Your envy will swing back at you Your envy will swing back at you

Go fuck yourself you're to blame For all the terror worldwide Millions of orphans collateral damage is done You can no longer hide from the fucking truth Fuck off Sometimes it would be better to be blind To not see the world burst into flames But I see it each and every day Until the fire goes down And dead bodies cover the ground Until the ashes becloud the sky And the last soldier breaks down Combat, see through the eyes of the weak Combat, see through the eyes of the weak They are searching for a reason To start another war They're colliding with each other Like we've seen it all before They are waiting with their weapons To shoot each other down And they want to die in glory To make their leaders proud To make their leaders proud Violence is a language Everybody understands So why should we speak to each other When we can get away with murder Fuck off

How could I say that I’m alive If everything that I believe in Turns out to be a lie The ice I walk on is very thin And the weights of the world that I’m carrying Are getting heavier with every step I take The ground beneath my feet begins to break Why is this all happening to me You see a smile on my face But tears roll behind the masquerade Cause I am afraid What you all would think of me If I say No nothing is okay No nothing is alright Why we keep lying to ourselves I may not look broken But you just see the outside We all hide secrets in our heads How could I feel fine I feel like a stranger in my own neighborhood I'm so misunderstood It’s like the blind lead the blind Everyone of you Is so ignorant It’s so important to read Each others eyes Otherwise there is no end in sight I’m so afraid What you all would think of me If I say No nothing is okay No nothing is alright Why we keep lying to ourselves I may not look broken But you just see the outside We all hide secrets in our heads There’s got to be someone I can turn to Who can sense the pain That I am carrying with me Will you become the one I can turn to Can you sense the pain Can you sense the pain That I am carrying with me No nothing is okay No nothing is alright Why we keep lying to ourselves I may not look broken But you just see the outside We all hide secrets in our heads There’s got to be someone I can turn to Who can sense the pain That I am carrying with me Will you become the one Can you sense the pain That I am carrying with me

I keep a cool head in the heat of the moment No flames can hurt me a heart like the ocean Great wide open Some hearts are an iceberg Grey white frozen Don't think you're greater with your golden skin Your touch shows me each day that you are cold within An eagle can´t fly with a broken wing But it heals with the time so I won't give in I said it once I said it twice I won't give in Cause my life is worth living No lessons learned No tables turned All bridges burnt But you’re still making it worse When the sea dries out Stay on your ship it can't sink for now I can be the flood to bring you hope That will ignite you When the sun goes down I am your lighthouse I guide you out I can be the calm during the storm That rages inside you I keep a cool head in the heat of the moment No flames can hurt me a heart like the ocean Great wide open Some hearts are an iceberg Grey white frozen I’ll never forget what you have done to me You betrayed my trust I’ll never forget I said it once I said it twice I won’t give in Your pride will be your downfall Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Your touch shows me each day that you are cold within I said it once I said it twice I won’t give in

The pressure lasts on your shoulders And brings you down on your fucking knees This whole story isn’t over The end of your deed is coming closer and closer I see it in your eyes No shame or contrition It will repeat Your fucking ambition And when the sky is getting darker and darker Your inner soul is growing colder and colder And while you skin is getting older and older Once again, you’re losing control The wolf is coming out of his hole It seems like there will never be an end It seems like there will never be an end Seems like there will never be An end of this tragedy Believe me that the day will come You witness your downfall This whole story isn’t over The end of your deed is coming closer and closer

What is your dream worth When anyone can purchase it Numbers on paper Are defining your life Black numbers are all they see Black numbers are all they need You get nothing back from them They have the world in their hands They offer nothing in return You get nothing back from them They still count the money in their hands You’re not slaves to substance They still assess their life in numbers I’ve been told you are what you own Since then I’m proud of being nobody at all Black and red numbers are all they see Digits to define your fucking existence No legacy to find no deeper meaning No legacy to find no deeper meaning You get nothing back from them They have the world in their hands They offer nothing in return You get nothing back from them They still count the money in their hands You’re not slaves to substance They still assess their life in numbers Once destiny calls you will realize You lived for nothing at all For nothing at all No legacy to find no deeper meaning No legacy to find no deeper meaning You get nothing back from them They have the world in their hands They offer nothing in return You get nothing back from them They still count the money in their hands You’re not slaves to substance They still assess their life in numbers No legacy to find no deeper meaning No legacy to find no deeper meaning No legacy to find no deeper meaning No legacy to find no deeper meaning

I try to make it out alive through all the lies that left me blind You turned you back against your friends Thrown away and left behind I understand the rich and their sickness Oh but I see that money can‘t buy happiness The more you want The nearer your grave Cause you slowly Choke on your own greed You have it all But you mean nothing to me I see it in your eyes I see it in your eyes Your hunger can’t be satisfied But you are terrified of the truth you can‘t deny Time passes by it‘s the most valuable thing What worth have your belongings When you ended up in a coffin The more you want The nearer your grave Cause you slowly Choke on your own greed You have it all But you mean nothing to me The more you want The nearer your grave Cause you slowly Choke on your own greed You have it all But you mean nothing to me I understand the rich and their sickness And every time I look into your eyes I see your hunger can’t be satisfied Avarice The more you want The nearer your grave Cause you slowly Choke on your own greed You have it all But you mean nothing to me The more you want The nearer your grave Cause you slowly Choke on your own greed You have it all But you mean nothing to me

This is what is left Ain't it enough to live The world moves on I got nothing left to give This is what is left But if it's not enough I am forsaken This world left me behind Set me free and don’t deny That nothing is alright Nothing is alright My ears are open But all I hear is silence My mind is closed But however I feel violence I'm exhausted by this life No way back I'm lost in my shadow And this time I can't run away Cause I'm already standing at the edge We've been here before It's a never-ending story We've seen this before This is what is left Ain't it enough to live The world moves on I got nothing left to give This is what is left But if it's not enough I am forsaken This is the life we choose This is the life we choose I have lost my way Like a ship has lost his course Or a sick man without cure Like a river without water Or a son who lost his father My path wasn't easy anyway But don’t you tell me I am a coward This pain was haunting me everyday Every second every minute every hour This is what is left Ain't it enough to live The world moves on I got nothing left to give This is what is left But if it's not enough I am forsaken Take my hand and follow me home Before emptiness will swallow me whole Hollow Hollow My friend you left us here alone As you floated up to heaven I hope you didn't get lost along the way This is what is left Ain't it enough to live The world moves on I got nothing left to give This is what is left But if it's not enough I am forsaken
