lyrics

International Slavery Song.

Freedom is just an illusion in the evolution of modern mankind
Changes has been done for manners of conquering places and conquering minds
Is globalization negative?
The enslavers always lurk in hiding
Choose to follow, choose to be

Some say slavery is a mental state, what we believe can be used
To form ideas that makes us slaves, because they define freedom,
And that is never around
To stand for, to choose, to believe, to use
In this life that we see, in this world that we live
We prepare, we apply, and we go on, till we die.

Life’s been controlled from centuries before generation to generation
Awakening is just an illusion when freedom ideals are different in all
Slavery has different tastes
Religious, Gastro, Academic,
In which one you quench you tell me

So I guess I’m not free yet not a slave, and guess this would be that for all
No one outside is controlling me, and then comes television,
With like reality shows
To stand for, to choose, to believe, to use
In this life that we see, in this world that we live
We prepare, we apply, and we go on, till we die.

(Solo: Vettor)

Contradictions are all in this our life, so I guess I’ll keep wondering to find
That we all live like this, we all fight to achieve
We conceive, we apply, we go on,
Until we die

(Solo: Machado)

So well,
Slavery just ends in freedom, as this freedom ends in slavery
They complete themselves inside all minds, so better to keep going
And always nevermind
To stand for, to choose, to believe, to use
In this life that we see, in this world that we live
With no pain and no gain
Break the chains and you will see
To something you´re the slave
To others you’re still free
And this sarcasm is just real!

Overhate Caracas, Venezuela

The thrash metal genre has been spinning its wheels for a few years. However, Venezulas Overhate adds some much-needed polish to the style. Relentless is Our Strength is their latest album, and it pushes the boundaries about what metal (and thrash specifically) can be. ... more
