« The storm is here
New Apocalypse
I send a prayer for all
For all who hear my call
Those who now lay to rest
Those who have made their best
And wished for better days
To them I send my prayers »


Max Enix and Benjamin Guerry (Guitars):
Hey you, playing your games
This pain is here to stay
Never played by the rules
The storm shall take you, fools
Your wrath is there for everyone
Deserved or not, right on time
All caught in a rat race
The blow right in your face


Niklas Kvarforth:
Deception politics
You loved to play your tricks
Whining like babies
You are the disease
Corrupt society
You're rotten to the core
People lived left for dead
This cannot be ignored



Niklas Kvarforth:
Are we just pawns?
While you strengthen your thrones
While laws are made by you
For all except for you
On this twisted playground
The chessboard of all crimes
We die without a sound
While you deny our rights


Max Enix:
You look superior
Or at least you want to
Your way's inferior
And malevolent too
Ego, divisions
Driven by bad decisions
So clever to your eyes
You are nothing by lies


Max Enix and Mody Ptd (Benjamin Guerry Guitars):
People against people
Country against country
You're waging war on our souls
Just stay away from me


Elise wachbar:
In this moment of calm
Everything revolves around me
In this moment of clarity
We want a world in peace



Max Enix:
But something's on
That can be good for none
Skies painted gore
Another cry for war

Chorus:
 

Max Enix:
Their dream is now complete
The plan is clear: delete

I want to see... the world turn
Some want to see... the world burn
 


Max Enix and Mody Ptd:

Give everything my Love,
My Freedom and my Joy



Benjamin Guerry (+Guitars):
To hell the Ego
Off with your attitude
Still a long way to go
To finally get rid of you:
Max Enix and Benjamin Guerry (+guitars): 
 Corruption and the oppression
Division and domination
Benjamin Guerry (+Guitars):

This permanent destruction
That you call civilization

Niklas Kvarforth:

To hell with cruelty
Death to superiority
Preaching demise
You're all snakes in disguise
Off with your every "ism",
You hide behind in treason
What's hidden there
Is hate beyond repair


Niklas Kvarforth:
Sale of human beings and animals, 

forced prostitution, forced marriages because of religions, 
 pollution, forced labor, 

destroy and manipulate, our friends and neighbors



Max Enix:
Nature gives and takes back
The world is back on track
This world unfair
Where no one ever cares
See your mistakes
You thought you were so strong
See what it takes
To just never belong


Max Enix and Mody Ptd (+Benjamin Guerry Guitars):
Our necks soon broken
Like matches start the flames
Slowly you lit the torch
The day of reckoning


Elise wachbar:
There is no devil per se...
Just good and bad ways
Spirits and souls meet halfway
The choice was yours to make

 

Max Enix:
I want to see the world turn
Some want to see the world burn

Chorus:
Max Enix:
Their dream is now complete
The plan is clear: delete

I want to see... the world turn
Some want to see... the world burn
 


Max Enix and Mody Ptd:

Give everything my Love,
My Freedom and my Joy

« Suddenly, you see it too
The world turns before you
We start to hear the rumours
They end up in a clamour
The storm has turned
We were prepared to burn
A hope of life irrupts
For all this world corrupt
A chance is there to get
I can't believe it yet... »


Max Enix and Benjamin Guerry:
Human history
Is broken history
Neglect and take
That's what you make,
A world of blindness Ignorant maze
In this unconsciousness
You dwell for real
This void of emptiness
Is oh too real
That's what you're all about
For all humanity



« Here comes again The real storm
The heart of man
The heart of the storm »
« The hope was thin, soon crashed down
The swirls of the wind are flying now
In a burst they take away the towns
An air like fire all around
Houses turned to ashes
Dreams of old in lashes
Roofs are crashing on the floor
The Gods can't quench their thirst for more
It brings back tortured memories
When blood melt with the seven sees
Polluted oceans turn to red
Humanity on its deathbed
Like napalm spreading all over
For trees and grass, and spring and flowers
The table's set, the dance is over
The pesticides are all we breathe

The smiling ones now all bereaved »



Benjamin Guerry (+Guitars):
The fear of fear, the crashing bombs
Old soldiers walking from their tombs
They laugh at us, at all that lives
To never learn, never believe
The same madness, since dawn of times
The same complaint, sung with the eyes
The same moments, sung on repeat
The same, the same, the same... complete


Niklas Kvarforth:
Nothing stops machines of death
A single drive can hold a breath
Forevermore this is our fate
The high command, commands the hate
The worst of crimes that you commit
Avenged but Earth itself, admit
That what's to do is to submit
When all is said and done, that's it!
You can beg for mercy
You can't gain from misery
When shaking death's hand is postponed
It means you are the eye of the cyclone
Because what is doomed to fail will fail
We all know the end of this tale
The clever and the strong prevailed
But now we all share the same hell



« Nature's purge Feel the urge Torrents of mud »
 


Niklas Kvarforth: Mad mad world


« And everything must end
Even the storm itself
The urge is to survive
The enemy is time »
Gold is the war nerve
But servants are to serve
You can't obey and rule
You remain just a tool
Some sleep on piles of gold
They also will grow old,
They sing and dance, forgetting That without miners, they're nothing
See that all this time they've lied
Bread and games to keep you all occupied
Numb by your TV screens
Deaf to the ones that scream
Through artificial skin
You cannot feel a thing
Or even dare to think,
Making sense from nothing »


Elise wachbar:
We played with fire
With brains so high and wired
Distraction from all Life
Running in circle lines


Max Enix:
In the gloom I see a light
Wallflowers laid in line

Chorus:
Max Enix:
Their dream is now complete
The plan is clear: delete

I want to see... the world turn
Some want to see... the world burn
 


Max Enix and Mody Ptd:

Give everything my Love,
My Freedom and my Joy


Elise Wachbar:
It seems the threats are now receding
Here, there and everywhere
But homes are still collapsing
Life as a whole seems so unfair
The waves are crashing down
Carrying all sorts of remains


« Dead bodies all around
Hard to clean the mental stains »
 


Max Enix:
The question of survival
Has always been the only one
The answer's not material
In fact it's all a state of mind



Max Enix and Niklas Kvarforth:

In fact it!s all a state of mind x2


« Comfort is a mystery
A blur before our eyes
Distraction from our misery
A veil, a thin disguise
The rocks that light the skies
Will surely soon be there
The curse of our time
Insecurity everywhere »


Niklas Kvarforth:
The warning signs you ignored
Are screaming for you now
Humanity transformed
For the rest of our time

« It has happened before
There's nothing new at all
Vanquished civilizations
We're the new dinosaurs
The only difference
Is the truth of our guilt
In our indifference
We broke ourselves, you see...
We look so pale and shaken
An entire world has fallen
And still we have to face
The ultimate disgrace
That's coming from the sky
Our dying time is now »

« We pray for another chance
To dance another dance
Oh Gods if you exist
Let us now live in peace
Is there a final chapter?
Or are we really doomed?
This question needs an answer
It will come really soon...
The end of an Era again ? »
