STUDIOVÁ ALBA - BETTER THAN RAW
|
| Velice zajímavé a pestré album. Skupina zde tak trošku spojila svět moderního pop-rocku a heavy metalu a pomalu se začíná odvracet od starých riffů a začíná se odebírat jinou cestou. Better Than Raw je velmi specifické album, na kterém najdeme i přezpívanu jednu starou latinskou modlitbu "Laudate Dominum", která je vcelku pěkným doplněním alba.

Better Than Raw
DELIBERATELY LIMITED PRELIMINARY PRELUDE
PERIOD IN Z Music: Kusch
PUSH Lyrics:
Deris, Kusch, Weikath / Music: Kusch
They're spending millions for your
thrill Collective desperate overkill Wrapped up in harmless words that
grin Forbidden games you'll never win The more you see the more you know
Intended media mind control Shut down and see how beautiful life can be
This is the prime if your lifetime You see through eyes of someone
else More than the half of your halftime Is just a tale in a storybook
Push, enforce your independence Push your real intention Face
your unconcious addiction Push your private fiction Push
It's
getting sicker frame by frame You're always staring at the same What is
a lie, what is the truth? Incredible disgusting news The world is rough,
the end is near Just calculation with your fear Without a shame nor
least respect The operators stand erect
This is the prime if your
lifetime You see through eyes of someone else More than the half of your
halftime Is just a tale in a storybook
Push, enforce your
independence Push your real intention Face your unconcious addiction
Push your private fiction Push
FALLING
HIGHER Lyrics: Deris, Weikath / Music: Weikath
I thought that I felt
alright with my world But now what I knew seems taken by someone Probing
me, waiting if I take the bait Surrender, step into the line
We
won't give into the false We are not as dull as taken Some will hold out
if they can They must kill us if they want us to fall
When we unite
We're falling higher When worlds collide We'll stand straight in
turmoil and fear No harm coming near
Hungry forever since we took a
glance Feared that the world was taken by someone We realized by the
look in your eyes Metal will never die
With magic in our hands
We are lost-and-found contenders For a kingdom of our stand Come
together no surrender at all
With magic in our hands We are
lost-and-found contenders For a kingdom of our stand Come together no
surrender at all
When we unite We're falling higher When worlds
collide We'll stand straight in turmoil and fear No harm coming near
No harm coming near No harm coming near We're falling higher
HEY LORD Lyrics: Deris / Music: Deris
(What is it all about?) Pleasure or pain Cold or fire Love
against disdain Hope or dispair Truth or liar Normal or insane
Do you know what to choose? It can't happen you lose Like the
stars need the light No left without right
Hey Lord, hey Lord
Life is striking as you taught Hey Lord, hey Lord Time is running,
time is short Hey Lord (What is it all about?)
Good or profane
Odd or even All is face to face Sinner and saint Serve each
other Life is called this place
Do you know what to choose? It
can't happen you lose Like the stars need the light No left without
right
Hey Lord, hey Lord Life is striking as you taught Hey
Lord, hey Lord Time is running, time is short Hey Lord
Hey Lord,
hey Lord Time is running, time is short Hey Lord, hey Lord Life is
striking, life is short Hey Lord, hey Lord Time is running, time is
short Hey Lord, hey Lord Why did you want us so wayward?
Hey
Lord, hey Lord Life is striking as you taught Hey Lord, hey Lord
Time is running, time is short Hey Lord (What is it all about?)
DON'T SPIT ON MY MIND Lyrics: Deris / Music:
Deris, Grosskopf
Every lie will win a prize Love sold by a whore
Calculated sacrifice Death without a war Aftermath and alibies
Straw-doll-chess to please the poor
Don't tell me of any wonders
shitting gold Don't tell me of a hard way we have to go through Still we
pay your warmth out of the cold Do you really think we're that blind?
Don't spit on my mind Don't spit on my mind Don't spit on my
mind
Any form of government Has a black sheep part But the brave
will never know What the black sheeps start In the name of country-love
They enrich themselves apart
Don't tell me of any wonders shitting
gold Don't tell me of a hard way we have to go through Still we pay your
warmth out of the cold Do you really think we're that blind?
Don't
spit on my mind Don't spit on my mind Don't spit on my mind
We
are the people, we are the masses you are for We give the power and our
desire must be your law Don't think I'm standing here all alone, one of a
kind Don't think because you're still there Means that we are all blind
Don't spit on my mind Don't spit on my mind Don't spit on my
mind
REVELATION Lyrics: Deris / Music: Kusch
Now we chase the end of time Afraid what we will find Once again
since Jesus Christ The stars look down on mankind
Revelation
Overcome creation False illusions Fade and die Whatever we
awaited Charity or hatred Whatever we awaited Will arise It's
revelation Revelation
Power and prosperity It won't be like
before Name, rank and authority Not counting any more
Revelation
Overcome creation False illusions Fade and die Whatever we
awaited Charity or hatred Whatever we awaited Will arise It's
revelation Revelation
Bemoan your words Bemoan your deeds
Repent your thoughts of lies Attain your sword Attain your shield
Defend the sense of life Bemoan your hate Repent your greed
Improve your rotten seed
Pray for the child Though born just by
a fraud and a whore Pray for the child Who won't know what it's crying
for
Revelation Overcome creation False illusions Fade and
die Whatever we awaited Charity or hatred Whatever we awaited
Will arise It's revelation Revelation
TIME Lyrics: Deris / Music: Deris
Feel it running off
So strong and clear An age is over fast And disappears Help him
if you can His hour will come soon Push away his fear He'll see
Elysium It's time It's time
Guard him a little while And
calm his shiver Wash and dry his tears And cool his fever Take the
bibles words Speak it pure his soul Lay love in his mind His close
to the final goal It's time It's time
It's time to go Time
for the freedom Time to face what we all believe in Pray strong Pray
to the higher Turn your back on the devil's fire Time to go Time for
the freedom Time to face what we all believe in Time is passing by
When his mind was clear He called you brother Now his brain is
dazed It's resigning rather Mother take his hand Say a last
'good-bye' We're not gifted to Turn water into wine It's time
It's time
It's time to go Time for the freedom Time to face
what we all believe in Pray strong Pray to the higher Turn your back
on the devil's fire Time to go Time for the freedom Time to face
what we all believe in Time is passing by
I
CAN Lyrics: Weikath / Music: Deris, Weikath
May I take you higher
Feed well your desire We won't be forgotten Foes left slain and
rotten
I will have my way as once before Others stand in awe can't
scorn at all
I can, I can, I can make it all again I don't wanna
lose, I don't wanna go down I can, I can, I can make the call again
Fulfill my dreams until I'm cured I can
Will I be the flyer
Keep you more inspired Some will leave here shattered Wish us tarred
and feathered
Show me anyone who doubts our ways I will laugh out
loud and I will say
I can, I can, I can make it all again I don't
wanna lose, I don't wanna get drowned I can, I can, I can heed the call
again Can attain ev'rything to leave you sure I can
Leave me
waiting years or strike today Trample down the walls and pave your way
I can, I can, I can..... Fulfill my dreams until I'm cured
A HANDFUL OF PAIN Lyrics: Deris / Music:
Kusch
I still remember every hour Every second has been ours Far
away from any burden We met eyes without a curtain Headless into a new
sensation Wether brain nor fear or patience Careless we had a game to
play You crossed my way for twenty days
Why don't you just heal
The yearning that I feel? Hey, what we called a game Is more than
just a handful of pain We go the wrong ways Cause I believe it's more
than just a handful of pain We go the wrong ways Cause I believe it's
more than just a handful of pain
We're different colours, different
nature Both we were like pupil and teacher It's a puzzle with two pieces
Still not done 'cause one still misses Helpless I go through unknown
stages A chapter of life which has missing pages Torture's not only
physical It pains unbound Way, way down
Why don't you just heal
The yearning that I feel? Hey, what we called a game Is more than
just a handful of pain We go the wrong ways Cause I believe it's more
than just a handful of pain We go the wrong ways Cause I believe it's
more than just a handful of pain

MIDNIGHT SUN Lyrics: Weikath / Music:
Weikath
Tried so hard to understand your feelings Tried to cope with
your insanities Come to think about too many ways of healing What we
lost or maybe never had
One small step into the hidden decoy One
more word is help and one will destroy
I woke up in the midnight sun
So aware damage has been done Agony or sanctuary Only fate will show
the way
From the bright of day into the jaw of darkness One is
shoved, a victim of a lie Friendly face turns into a fiery grimace
Suddenly feelings learn to die
Used up sympathy no chance to return
To a world one knew but wounds that will burn
Spent more time in the
midnight sun Still aware of what else has gone Agonized and hypotized
When will I be shown the way
Fell asleep and no midnight sun
Still aware justice has been done No more doubts but disbelief When
the night was day Celebration, miracle And fate did show the way
