Searching for the next big thing Needing something to feel complete Running away from all the pain Looking for the way out The world collapses Economics taking over Souls lost in transit Strangeness and ignorance Greed determines the thinking Pursuing profit at any cost Regardless of the consequence Exploiting the innocent Contrasting world Social inequality Stranded in wealth Waste and starvation Life in a culture Of consumption and alienation Wealth concentration Another round of the vicious cycle Dancing between Hope and Despair Yeah Dancing between Hope and Despair Break the cycle Break the cycle! The game is rigged The game is rigged We are corrupted by the power of money The more you make, the more you want The more you get, the more you need Is it enough to live my small life? Every time I look away A small part of me dies inside Every time I look away A small part of me dies inside Every time I look away A small part of me dies A small part of me Dies inside! We! Everything is connected Are! Everything is connected All! Everything is connected One! Everything is connected Everything is connected (Yeah) Everything is connected (I know) Everything is connected Everything is connected

From Eden I'm snatched Sacred home to my kind Smirched by dead-keen prayers Virginity got defiled Long before me My rage is no match to their deeds I might die but this is my beacon of liberty No place to hide Break the wall, break the chain In the moment of suffering No, no, no more No punishment No No perrishing No No Visions of fragile memory Crackling my inner spirit Breaking of illusion to an illusion I will no longer suffice to appetence It's time to get down to business A performance just from me The sanctums of my entity Yearning for potency Manifestation of repression Among the illusion This is the first time This is the last time This is my final curtain Now it's up to me my friend Focus on the spot light To be heard, to be remembered Be the one who refuses, who resists this is for all captives, for all wrecked souls To those who already died In the ring of misery My brothers I'm raising the sun Freedom Die, die, die, die
