When Nothing’s Mine We have all lived hell and known it well before in times of misery As in glory we declared, to have touched the skies The money, the woman, the alcohol, delicious sins at the reach of the hand I want them all The soul, the brain, the culture, the knowledge, the books, and some video games I need them all Something that I want is not what I need (Solo: Vettor) We feel: our own magic fills our souls We Say: we are slaves of our own words We see: we believe thru our eyes We end: with nothing in our hands Kill all egos, ambition without greed Takes the to latter steps without a fall Care without obsession, love without dependence Because I have found myself in a position When nothing’s mine A way to salvation is always pursued, concept? How may I understand it? A way full of traps that tempt you to take the detour, but where is the end? The friends, the careers, the business, the parties, the movies, distraction and stress I want them all A bottle of wine, a moment of bliss, inside in the crotch of my girlfriend I need them all Something that I Need is not what I want (Solo: Machado) We feel: our emotions take control We Say: that treasure in life all We see: satisfied thru our eyes We end: with nothing in our hands So take the advice, Ambition without greed Satisfy yourself revolting in a life of sin Clean your spirit; don’t forget to talk to god In the end there’s nothing left to man When nothing is all So then we shall live in harmony, no adversaries to undertake As some people walks crushing others in the ways of greed May their sickness consume their power, may their ugliness grind their hearts As man is forced be away from sin, to desire it

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!

With or Against Us. We are set to remind to everybody in this place That some values where forgotten when they where not to be replaced We commit the narrow minded to forget to be divided To be implied into the actions that we all need to take Nothing’s to be changed, just reminded and corrected Educated into minds that are meant to be corrupted Because menace is now present, all need to be saved So we all complain when we have time to talk to some one who only will listen Complain to discharge but never to take action, failing to proceed in ways Don’t wait for extraterrestrial beings, saviors won’t come, they have just teached By the hands of god, are we saved, are we good, and evil? And so their representatives always say, with or against us, set to obey And so life will be better if you are controlled, a world that saw religion and follow But leaders never do what is meant to be helping our home be a nice place It’s in us! To do, or leave undone! (Solo: Machado) So we live by a unjustified justice way, end always justifies our means Comment your sins and go on to the end, manipulate, lie to convince Beliefs are lost now, no logic in good ways, no reward? Burning in hell. By the eyes of god, who witness, who decides, who beholds? Our representatives always say, with or against us, Set to obey And so life will be better if we are like stoned, so paranoid to be living But leaders never do what is meant to be helping our home be a nice place It’s in us! To do, or leave undone!

From the Shadows Dark is the sky when solitude is my companion Weird is the feeling that burns inside my heart Familiar is the fact when everyone around me Reaches out to console me: leave me alone Because in love everything is ecstasy And with me everything is agony! What have I done to you: to see you perish Why the hell I’ve met you: to curse you, to kill you And from the shadows I see all laughs, feeling miserable, lost and hiding from pain I think that I am slowly going insane, or I was, but I am Just remember with me Dark is the sky when solitude is my companion Dead is the feeling that burns inside my heart With everything against my Life is always ecstasy My life is agony What have I done to you: to see you perish Why the hell I’ve met you: to curse you, to kill you And from the shadows we learn thru life, watching all those that live inside their light Looking to absorb their light to help our shining And I am, Trying to heal without the use of time… (Solo: Vettor) And from the shadows I see all laughs, feeling miserable, lost and hiding from pain I think that I am slowly going insane, but I am Learning thru life, to help myself, to see the gain that curses might have to gave For there’s always a blessing hiding there in a curse Waiting Waiting for you and me.

In This Disgusting Planet. Well, In this disgusting planet, the air we breathe is vicious, it’s filled with lies, and discontent for us To learn and act Righteous In this disgusting planet, kind words we hear are precious – and precious when behind our backs They talk, it is control, and it’s desire what we live, Sentence, judged and Judgers, in this court we will believe Are we safe and are we secured? All our surroundings have been cursed! (Solo: Vettor) And, In this disgusting planet, man has invented religion, for higher beings to tolerate all Actions of oblivion In this disgusting planet, where life is all that’s valued, with a nature of killing for all! If we observe closely today, But we really don’t care at all I can’t relate anything, where do I stand? Is it normal to hate this world? (NO) So, In this disgusting planet, where we should care for everyone, we learn one day that no one will Ever be there to care for us In this disgusting planet, where trust and faith are weapons, are weapons for manipulation Sentence to decrete law to abolish to create Celebrate to exalt and to dethrone and to libate Left to workship and left to know, taught to believe in a savior (Solo: Vettor) Then, In this disgusting planet, where human race continues, to fornicate and expand the rate And eliminate if needed In this disgusting planet, I’m natural selection, the food chain, the leveler, the fall! We walk in the same land today We just don’t want to save this world I can’t relate everything, where do we stand Do you want me to accept this? (NO?) (Solo: Machado) This world wouldn’t learn from today, how would we fix our life here? Come now and scream with me my friend, no one would listen now As we see how this dies, won’t you agree?

The Consuming Element I control, I Possess I am the everything seen World that moves, under me, I am the force in within Of Sects, Cults and Governments Of Spectacular Sculptures My System my earth my Beautiful Creation I have Existed for so long I just don’t remember time, I was created to impulse the growth of modern man I paved streets and grew the buildings and all surrounds, crowned and replaced all kings So therefore I am the king of all kings, I’m the devil and I’m god, infallible immeasurable powerful in all I move the world, because I conquered it all, I am the revolution So where is my true opponent in battle? I said, I come I saw I conquer! That time and now, I draw all existence All beings will work for me All man would kill for me I care for no one! I will Keep on going with this role my power is in all; I dress the very holy man and shatter all the poor I’ll teach the children to come to me, When they grow I’ll be their fall! So I can never think of being replaced, I live inside all minds, of powerful, of sick, of poor, of everyone alive Man’s desire for me surely ensues his fall, and moves my green energy The Land, The Space, The time, my wheel is turning I Said, hold me now, because I will erase you! I consume I make you consume me, I create wherever you want from me And my price is as high as you need from me I kill I consume all I am the fiercest fire, I am the fire of hell And I am the key to the life we all desire! (Solo: Vettor, Machado) With me your life’s giving you One thousand reasons for your Hate. One thousand reasons for your hate.

4204 Good bye when forced can sprout destructive feelings In me, and teachings may come with it, hard to take is life sometimes Will picture this in my story, to my brother I dedicate Heat stroke and laid to rest… Would this be fair to him, 23 rd of October 98? Would this be fair to my family? Left to understand the ways of god. There is no happiness when you see the negligence and the consequences Of someone doing what he was meant to be, died for practicing his own life So why the ways of god sometimes work with injustice, why the hell does it burns inside I see my brother dying Departing when life was just about to start Solitude situations – and I think that he is close to me That day with expectations – wake up from that hospital bed! A fucking heat stroke, just water lacked, why no one gave that to him This hospital room, is making me sick, can someone speak to me I’m waiting right here, to hell with the world, Francisco wake up man please! Wake up from that bed, there’s so much undone, and so much we ought to see Sometimes the truth can destroy the world, shocked I stand, hear my words And I know tears won’t bring him back, some one at my back tries to calm me down My father shouts at me, my mothers screams, what the hell is going on? My sister just arrived; horror and frustration are coming through Family Situation – nothing more to do in this empty room Negligence situations – Left to deny any word from them The cemetery, a place with no color a place with an empty feel We expect ourselves here, at the ends of our days, supposed to be long and lived At 20 he died, because of negligence, we cry again to god, And again I say, sometimes the ways of life are hard to take now Innocence or destiny, Negligence or Simpathy Explanation needed now, his life ended to soon how Castrated Society, so depresive to feel free In the school for empty shells I knowone day they will pay (Lead Melodies: Machado; Solo: Vettor; Solo: Machado) As days pass everything can heal, except frustration that we have I just don’t know if I can learn to take care or love more than I do With no justification, there is no answer I can find Is left undone and no one knows why So we’ll meet in the skies, and there I ask god only why He took you with him; because consolation is a lie

No change today. And change is a constant now. And has always been the door at the entrance of all new worlds and their forms And has always forged the new laws that will control the ways we all act and follow And has always forged the improvement of our ways to think our ideologies And has always endured the voice and the force within those with inconformity Forced, Resisted, Forced, Accepted Promise gold is all that glitters Under skies that look pale gray In a planet, with some people With some problems, with some vicious things With hunger, with pain and poverty and lies In our way to the light We kill everybody that stands So there is no change today. (Solo: Machado). No room in this world for its population, health is to bless only a chosen few No food to quench hungry stomachs, no love to quench thirsty souls Your order: try to follow the rules Strong, Surviving, Weak, Are dying Is this equation a constant of, a race that is superior and conquers all? Or is it just an explanation, of an advanced animal that kills for all? In a planet, with some people With some problems, with some vicious things With hunger, with pain and poverty and lies In our way to the light We kill everybody because In our way to the Light We are always measured by time And time will not end The world will not end The race will not end And there is no finish line at all. There’s no change today at all.

Figure of Deception. Let this call go To all man, to all sons, to everyone who lives in earth Observe the actions we’re doing It’s set to fall and no one will deny that in this day Our time is passing to wish us well Poverty, imminent war, alert on the warming on our globe Nuclear weapons advising the end of us all Governments, Leaders of worlds, political parties searching your votes With promises coming (in with) more problems to solve And for us to choose to be living the life of this world Between our garbage we live, no evolution is seen All improvement is far away… Figure of deception, wrote by the hands of man Models of a promise to be fixed have just failed for this world. (Solo: Vettor) Well, Where is the root of this problem / our misery without and end? No god to come and save us from us / we see our actions and we think Why we hate, we always hate, we seem to hate ourselves. Let the future Never come, earth won’t heal, man will never learn At least we try, to escape from burning… We try to care, try to teach, and give a grain of sand But power seeks death, and death seeks us! Species extinct, as so will man, proud to continue to walk to the end A wall is expecting our imminent crash as our goal. No more health, more pollution, welcoming death of mass populations Give me the truth is it right to kill all, Genocidal killing creatures controlling the world. (Solo: Machado) To need a Helping hand, won’t help to solve the problem Because man regrets to solve and this is How we can see this race That creates and controls and destroys but denies the end Figure of deception The ego of the world inspires us all To kill us all.

Holiday in Wasteland An esoteric tale it is I’m about to tell you, a mystery of good and evil, Guides our souls, guides me and you Eternity’s soul reflected heaven’s gate in the sky To materialize thoughts and feelings, dictating our destiny This good and evil, angel, demon, god and Satan, revolt around, our hearts always pounding Head to sky feet to ground Believe and it gets real, be prepared to receive, Holiday in Wasteland No rainbows end in pots of gold (Solo Vettor) Geometric figures, defining life’s blood, all encoded as always has been Some called it magic some saw it as a treasure and to keep it they called the devil I am the nameless, I’m the eternal spirit, listen to me now as I dictate. Please just keep me a secret, I hide in front of you; evoke, my name in silence, As my name is just all There is the universe that will conspire with you and there is failure there Always to haunt you too Success does not exists and there is death awaiting you, Awaiting me and you (Solo: Vettor) As water we have to reach it all, to nurture or leave a sediment, as a teach we give to many souls Stucked like stones in the pavement A wasteland can teach you humility, as a heaven implies a heart of stone As poorness makes your soul rich but leaves you rotting in the mud Resentment consumes souls; the wastelands will absorb them so they wait to teach you And wait for you to fuck you. Believe and it gets real, be prepared to receive, Holiday in Wasteland No rainbow ends in pots of gold
