Tracklist & Lyrics
We wanna be hardliners, we wanna be an inspiration for the criminals
We are one of those people shouting “gimme more! gimme more!”
To live like the end of our days, to be studied on the far east Tibet
And our time is precious, better not to stay sober and alone
Don’t look for the guilty, here I am and alone,
My only fortune is my freedom, which sounds illegal now.
Richies got more richer by alienating us,
The more I see, the more I am eager to hunt all of you down!
We charge and we judge, we are renegades
But don’t worry, it’s all how its meant to be
We live, to give something for people to dream about
We start to ride by the thunder, as we fly above the horizon
And find Jesus when and where it suits us better
Don’t look for dignity, yours in my wallet
Your promises depend on it, which is very common right now
Witches got more pleasure, by sucking our souls
The more I see, the more I am eager, to burn all to the ground!
Don’t look for the guilty, here I am and alone
My only fortune is my freedom, which sounds illegal now
Richies got more richer by alienating us
The more I see the more I am eager to hunt all of you down!
Here’s the price, I want it all,
Can’t deny it’s glitter calls
It’s a brand new day, not hard to tell
The future of this cigarette I’m holding
Feels like it’s not late for things to change
When a man stands up to transform
“Imagine a blue sky, no bank accounts”
said the tv guy, in Prada shoes
With materials, I bless myself for a matter of time
No fake love and no regrets, they don’t manipulate
Despite of my longing for a companion
Can’t take the risk of being exposed
When I can entertain myself
With high street fashion, whenever I may choose
Feels like it’s not late for things to change
When a man stands up to transform
But take a look around you, and tell me now
Who’s gonna be our confessor?
With materials, I bless myself for a matter of time
No fake love and no regrets, they don’t manipulate
It’s too late to change now
Or at least that’s how they want us
To feel like enough is enough
They want us to pretend
In our own life of exile
And name ourselves as free
Feels like it’s not late for things to change
When a man stands up to transform
But take a look around you, and tell me now
Who’s gonna be our confessor?
(Music: B.Gundogdu/ T.Cigdem, Lyrics: B.Gundogdu)
I feel it by my side,
It’s blinding darkness, my unbroken home
Alarming sunset preaches me
Keeps me pretending in vain which I’m done caring for
It’s becoming an unnatural piece of our lives
Mixed with my blood, it always keeps me thinking of
The story ain’t like no one knows
Why am I destined to have this shame on my life?
On behalf of my pride, now I have long sleepless nights,
Only God knows..
(Music: B.Gundogdu/ T.Cigdem/ N.Dovgopolov, Lyrics: B.Gundogdu)
I was born, when the lord
Forgot us all
With my absorbed soul,
I pledged my oath
In the dark, I saw his sight
And made my deal
To give birth to a child
To a demon
You’re holding onto the path you took,
I`m shutting you down with the walls I built
Now take it out from the lord,
and think about how I turned from
Zero to hero
Between two scripts, I picked the one
No one ever tried before, as an illusion
All my life, I’ve waited for you,
To taste my misery, so I can see you cry
For satisfaction
You’re holding onto the path you took,
I’m shutting you down with the walls I built
Now take it out from the lord,
and think about how I turned from
Zero to hero
(Music: B.Gundogdu/ T.Cigdem/ N.Dovgopolov, Lyrics: B.Gundogdu)
Back and forth, pushed and forced
Sleeping through the night with one eye open
Their pictures of war are sabotaging
The last hope in our lives with gloominess madness and sadness
When the curtain falls, it silences us all
The master’s sound fills the hall
No more waking into exciting mornings,
There’s just lonesome sleepless nights
Darkness shall grow as time goes on
While we’re trapped by the hands of despair
Can’t change the mood that I’m inside
In this period of time, I’m living
The things that I won’t wish to see, crossed my eyes
Who’s to tell now we are still the same?
It feels so close like it’s my eye blinking
It’s another rich man’s war, whether you like it or hate it
When the curtain falls, it silences us all
The master’s sound fills the hall
No more waking into exciting mornings,
There’s just lonesome sleepless nights
Darkness shall grow as time goes on
While we’re trapped by the hands of despair
Can’t change the mood that I’m inside
In this period of time, I’m living
(Music: B.Gundogdu/ T.Cigdem, Lyrics: B.Gundogdu)
Why are you always up for treason?
Yeah! I stand up for this reason
To make our fucked up lives, mean again
In all this mess, in all this dirt
Oh my darling aren’t your feelings hurt?
Can’t your drugs keep you sane?
I wandered, crawled and shed
My blood to whom I owe this blessing
Didn’t realize until, I felt like, I’m me again
Cracked by ambitions,
haunts my dreams and threatens
I woke when I heard
The gun fired by my dame
C’mon now beg me again why don’t you?
Ask, why I treat you like an old shoe
Cause you only love shit that turns green
All the dramas. All the vows
You were getting along, ’till your turn came
To plot against me, as you were born to
I wandered, crawled and shed
My blood to whom I owe this blessing
Didn’t realize until, I felt like, I’m me again
Cracked by ambitions,
haunts my dreams and threatens
I woke when I heard
The gun fired by my dame
(Music: B.Gundogdu/ T.Cigdem, Lyrics: B.Gundogdu)
What’s to fight, for another day?
I asked myself when l fell from the highest peak
Greed haunted me forever
And gave more satisfaction until it was in my grave
High cash flow drives to off limit
Benjamin in my mirror, chemicals in my veins
So how much further can everything get,
As long as l breath and am not clinically dead?
So what fight is this after all
I feel nothing despite I’ve seen the end.
And what am I to be afraid of?
When I’m already dead and reserved my place in hell
Consulting is no God’s term
For being born, humans instincts within
Valleys of gold to be conquered by
Bold imagineers with wildest thoughts
But the grass looked greener on the other side
I had my time, in blurry scenes
Scared lands full of strayed souls
Who’s to say all you need is less
So what fight is this after all
I feel nothing despite I’ve seen the end.
And what am I to be afraid of?
When I’m already dead and reserved my place in hell
(Music: B.Gundogdu/ T.Cigdem/ N.Dovgopolov/ V.Babienko, Lyrics: B.Gundogdu/ T.Cigdem)
Who knows, where you’ve been so long, brother
Actions were forbidden, delusions are invented
That drifts faster towards your fate
Scores will be settled before judgement day
If you had to go and die
Then l must reconsider
Those who sacrificed,
Whose cause is justified
As you live on in my thoughts now, in my words
The world didn’t get any better
Seasons still change, the show still goes on
As we keep the blinkers on
If you had to go and die
Then l must reconsider
Those who sacrificed
Whose cause is justified
Sun doesn’t rise anymore into my world it’s black and white
How can we accept the apologies
When everyone’s acting so well?
Liars! Betrayers! Deceivers! Speakers of evil
You will never find peace in the light
Or before you sleep at night
You are neither able to live nor die
Hell awaits purification in fire
You will live on in my words in my thoughts too
And the world will get better for sure
Seasons still change, the show still goes on
This will continue for out sons to follow
If you will have to go and die
Then u should reconsider
What you will sacrifice
And whose cause it justifies
Roused and deceived by repeated lies all around
Swords were drown, blood was shed
Battles end with the loss of humanity
Which only the dead have seen
