lyrics

Max Enix: Tell me... where you are going
In this dark... and wet alley
Marcela Bovio: A bum... on the ground
Asking for... some change
Max Enix: Looking for... a new way
A door... To the unknown
Marcela Bovio: who walks... a pathway
Echoes of these... ancient worries
Max Enix: Screams Resonate... in the distance
Raped or beaten... to the ground... no chance

Max Enix:
What's going on in their minds? I'll never know
She looks so fragile in her silk clothes
Wrong place at the wrong time... Did heaven know?
The fight for freedom now is closed
And they just stand there watching
Taunting like rabid dogs
Enough is enough now
Revolt should take its toll

Chorus
Max Enix: Under the moonlight
I see a line
Marcela Bovio: Beyond this tragedy
I see the front's fire
Max Enix: Take all the bastards down
Their world is "me,me, mine"
Marcela Bovio: Their hands know no caress
Leave blood stains on the face
Max Enix: Under this scarlet moon
They'll leave without a trace
Marcela Bovio: They have no fear
Their hate is crystal clear
Max Enix: There never is a heartbeat
Their flesh is only meat
Marcela Bovio: Once execution's done
The end we finally meet

Marcela Bovio: This alley... darkened now
As time is passing by... Where women scream and shout
Max Enix: Always punishment time... They cry...
But no one hears a sound... No one hears a sound
Marcela Bovio: We're deaf, dumb and blind... To all their cries
The tragedies of men... Seem so pale in this light
Max Enix: When hands that should protect... Are used to beat the fragile
Just be a man!... Pathetic silly coward!
Marcela Bovio: You are the monster... That nightmares are made of Your blood-soaked eyes... Will never know Love..

Max Enix:
In this society
Full of inequality
Each one has to take place
Respect everyone's pace
The need for glory
Of this displaced respect
Makes you so ugly disarticulated puppets
Disregard and violate
One finger on the hip
Another on the fly
They want to dominate
« Slavery of our time »

Chorus
Max Enix: Under the moonlight
I see a line
Marcela Bovio: Beyond this tragedy
I see the front's fire
Max Enix: Take all the bastards down
Their world is "me,me, mine"
Marcela Bovio: Their hands know no caress
Leave blood stains on the face
Max Enix: Under this scarlet moon
They'll leave without a trace
Marcela Bovio: They have no fear
Their hate is crystal clear
Max Enix: There never is a heartbeat
Their flesh is only meat
Marcela Bovio: Once execution's done
The end we finally meet

Marcela Bovio:
I remember them
Women where there again
Why is this place so empty?
Who made them fear incessantly?

Max Enix:
Revolt is boiling
To act to conteract
Buildings will fall apart
Bodies be torn apart

« How did we get there?
Agression is cowardice
Easy to play the victim
Easy to roll the dice »

Marcela Bovio:
Easy to turn the tide
The guilt will step aside
The other's fault is bitter
« Ego never... surrenders »

Solo made by Xavier Boscher

Max Enix:
Random agressions,
against the easy prey
Bullies ruling the nations,
Justice is... far away
Who was the architect/ The mastermind ?
« To treat us like insects Subject to sick sick minds »

Marcela Bovio: Choirs behind

« And still the genocides...
Blood angels spread their wings
The leaders of our times
Are those who pull the strings

Their world is made of them
With them, by them, for them,
Abduction of the hearts
For some pleasure insane
I did my time
Under the violent blows
Of my inconsistencies
Locked up inside
Glass prison all around
Women that have no rights For men that have no hearts
Why do you close your eyes? Perpetuate the lies? »

Max Enix and Marcela Bovio: The Life that you don't save Is digging your own GRAVE

Solo made by Michael Romeo

Max Enix:
The flames that lick the bodies
Shall be the final answer
Spirits and souls set free
Passing through massacre
Cruelty is nothing new
History's painted red

« The finger points to you Lessons you've never read
Reverse the spiral,
The crushing of the bones
Why should it last forever?
Why should you turn to stone? »

Marcela Bovio (and Max Enix some words): Silence is the killer
When words can be the healer
And it must happen now!
You must ended now... We’re up against a wall
We all hurt as one
No more submission
No more self destruction
When you took their lives a part of you...
died with them

Solo made by Xavier Boscher

Marcela Bovio:
She is a broken mirror
Bruises cover her face
Her blood casts a shadow
Over all human race

« A broken hip, a broken arm
A broken dream, that's made of harm
A broken mouth, a broken eye
Her beauty's in her "I"
Sexism is the plague
The illness of our world
If the whole world's a stage
Then, there are no more words
They are part of the play
Unsane and filthy ones
But when I write the end
I'll burn the stage at once
If this is theatre
If this is not for real
Why are your laughter
Echoing in my ears?
This world is rotten
And the reason is you
Be soon forgotten
'Cause soon I'm off with you
And soon her heartbeat
We'll hear it once again
She's gonna rise up
Rise up from all this pain
The scars are there forever
But this is not your shame
This place is getting warmer And brighter in your name »

Max Enix: You are not alone... In this world
The Divine sees all... And some will fall
Marcela Bovio: There will be Justice, judgment will come
No more time... For crude games of old
Max Enix: And all the women...Beaten up yesterday
Shall be restaured... For what we see today
Marcela Bovio: A world of beauty... Only they can create
Wronged for too long... I Bless your name
Max Enix: My only wish now... For now and eons to come
Is that the taste of Life... Will be back on your tongue

« I love you woman
For you are me and I am you
If I become a man
Please forgive me and love me too »

Max Enix:
Millions of you have died Like children, petrified
So many men are tied
To this weakness I find...
Under my eyes so blind
I see a woman write
Abuses she endured
Like millions, that's for sure

Chorus
Max Enix: Under the moonlight
I see a line
Marcela Bovio: Beyond this tragedy
I see the front's fire
Max Enix: Take all the bastards down
Their world is "me,me, mine"
Marcela Bovio: Their hands know no caress
Leave blood stains on the face
Max Enix: Under this scarlet moon
They'll leave without a trace
Marcela Bovio: They have no fear
Their hate is crystal clear
Max Enix: There never is a heartbeat
Their flesh is only meat
Marcela Bovio: Once execution's done
The end we finally meet

Solo made by Xavier Boscher

Marcela Bovio:
In my dreams I can see,
So far and deep in me
Her smile's a victory
As sad as it can be
And suddenly I hope
That somewhere deep below
The guilt dies slowly

Marcela Bovio:
The shame that men have built

Solo made by Michael Romeo

« Her fist is in the air
She is and will be there
To witness to the change
The twist in our fate
Surviving the horror
Preserving the honour
So now look up to her
Her soul
Immortal
Above all
A miracle »

Max Enix and Marcela Bovio: ALIVE /VICTORY (x 4)
