Complacent

An adverse situation, one more test.
But i´ve made a commitment to last
And I know I still haven´t done my best
In this place I live.
So much to be adjusted in this age.
Starting within our own lives.
Rearrange!
The time has come to make a change in this place we live.
Should I be content? Not at this moment.
I can´t be complacent about cruelty.
Dignity belongs to the whole humanity.
We must strive for a fair society.
Two steps forward. Three steps back.
When hard times come, motivation lacks,
But moral reasons impel me to go ahead.
It´s not a game.
And the weakness of those who give up the fight
Enlightness my eyes to keep my goals in sight
And strengthens my hope to conquer what´s right.
I do have hope.
Words are not enough.
I won´t just sing this song.

Against The Stream

Can I retain it?
Can I prevent my heart from spawning hate?
Another tear is shed.
Another innocent lies dead and this bloody war never ends.
Cold crimes. It´s a crucial time.
We must not bear violence against nature.
If it isn´t fought until it stops,
Life in this world will no longer be safe,
So move! Stop it now!
Can you repay it?
No one could repay one single life taken away.
So start today. Change your ways.
Listen to what I have to say.
Refuse to be a cold human being.
A life means so much.
Can´t you see it?
As for me, I care, so I won´t sit and stare.
I know that it´s not fair,
So i will move and stop it now!
"Civilization" is killing the Earth.
Any effort to halt it is worthy.
Against the stream I swim.

Take Over The Reins

Mankind strives to satisfy their senses.
They´re not concerned about the consequences.
The masses are blinded by their selfishness.
Destiny will be our judge in the end.
"I do what I want" - You think you´re smart.
Realize it!
This way you´re going to fall apart.
Being always responsible.
That´s being free.
Realize it or don´t talk about liberty.
Take over the reins.
Your mind can be your best friend or worst enemy
Because if you don´t conquer it,
A slave you´re gonna be.
I´ll extinguish the pyre of evil desires.
Through abstinence we can control this fire.
You know one´s negligence puts everyone at stake.
In this world we all pay if one makes mistakes.
Hold on to the edge.
I claim it right now.
My mind will be under control...I vow!!
Nature is dying. Can you hear her call?
We´re all to blame for the world´s downfall.
Yet we can stop that.
My advice: control your mind now or you´ll pay the price.
I´ll pay the price.
We´re all gonna pay the price.

Words Of Hope

Get ready to the facts!
A whole generation in complete alienation.
Wise enough to change it, but too weak to face the situation.
Possessed with lust, hatred burns within all of us.
Will we let this society turn into dust?
Blinded, we´ve been given a looking glass so that we could see all the self made mess.
Emancipate from such a suicidal state.
Don´t let insanity seal our fate.
Human liberation through drug abstinence.
Doping brings apathy and fear of confrontation.
Sobriety can grant us enough energy to face social oppression and achieve equality.
Seeds of hope.
Animal liberation for Earth preservation.
Veganism is the best way to stop nature´s exploitation.
Abjuring cruelty. Embracing sympathy.
The basis for a civilized humanity.
Future lays in our hands.
It´s up to us to change it and I´m sure we can.
The hands that have built it all will be the same to make it fall.
Let´s make reality out of these words of hope.
