The Anthem 03:22
Coming in another way The year is over then let’s get the party started Hanging out and wasting time It’s all we had to do but could we ever realize On that way We will never be the ones that we are supposed to be But I can’t find The strength to be saved You will find another life Another man to be, but could you believe in Another day, another chance When nothing you could say will make you feel another way On this day Where the dreams and all the faith have never been so far away When you can’t Believe in your fate You can’t believe in those days and you try to forget All the dreams, all the fails, to take another way You can’t believe in that way where you can’t bleed but You can find out all the faith and the strength to live Tryin’ to waste another day You’ll try to find another answer, Frustration, to gather that we can bleed We from the class of Fallen kids

Born in the early 90’s Holy generation blessed by your legacy Drenched in gasoline I’m just another long lost son Disowned by our fathers For being so innocent But can’t we realize we’re falling down Dragging down in the decline by the lies It finally shakes my pride and testify It can’t be right And through the lies I can’t believe in this working class of sacrificed It can’t be right And through the crowd I try to sing the anthem, the song of sacrificed Your generation burned in refinery Between war and lobotomy Building our make-believe Landscape of the century We’re tryin’ to escape the reality Where work is king of a new tyranny Sweating for a damned liberty But can’t we realize we’re falling down Dragging down in the decline by the lies It finally shakes my pride and testify It can’t be right And through the lies I can’t believe in this working class of sacrificed It can’t be right And through the crowd I try to sing the anthem, the song of sacrificed

I’m waking up, again, in a stranger’s bed Feeling ashamed, again, of this stupid game Wasting my time to fake on a TV set The fame I’ll never get And you will try, I guess, to keep the faith In the medias who share the last in fashion TV game instead of the falling nation And this frustration will never let you go ahead And these strings on you are leading you to the edge I bet it’s too late I met a man, one or maybe two days ago, He said « my friend you have something to know We’re living in a kind of sinking world Coming to it’s expiry date » Looking ‘round I suddenly realize This fucking hell that he was talking about And coming to the point that we can’t turn back We just have to pray for another chance To never be so mad (Again) And to never be so blinded By the tricks and the lies That they bring into our mind It’s the song of a man A serenade (of a) so lonely guy As a call in the night Why can’t you hear me screamin’ I can’t find my place in this world where we’re livin’ With someone screaming in my head Is that a voice or a friend that I’m hearing It’s reckless but it seems to be brave Ok guys, this is the time for us to be proud of the things we did before These fucking damn things that lead us to the shit where we’re living today I got these voices in my head who scream « You can’t find another way to live The lies into your eyes Have finally overcome your smile » (You’re finally going mad) Devin said it was too much for me (You can’t believe) Too weak for this reality (In this reality) I’m begging you today (I pray to get) To get the point and take another way (Another chance, another way) To never be so mad And to never be so blinded By the tricks and the lies That they bring into our mind It’s the song of a man (These damn things are getting you) A serenade, So lonely guy (Over and over) As a call in the night (Again ! So it’s time) To free yourselves and take this chance ( To free yourselves and take this chance)

Fallen Kids 03:47
We are the kids, the fail, of mother nation In the field of grace and aberration Leading on the edge of desperation By the men you crown with your election So give it up, give it up, there is nothing to say ‘Cause you will fail, Mr Fail, and never be blamed For what you do, what you say, but never be saved It’s not up to you, it’s in your vein, but you can fight against them You can’t be right, you’re so blind And it’ll always bring you Down on this way you will fail You’ve always been this Enemy that you thought you were better of In this world in trouble that you’re still bringing down ‘cause you can’t Find in your mind the strength to fight And it’ll always bring you down I try to leave this world of innocence To be a man of yours but I confess I’m not a man, you know, I’m just the lie That they secretly bring into my mind So give it up, give it up, there is nothing to say ‘Cause you will fail, Mr Fail, and never be blamed For what you do, what you say, but never be saved It’s not up to you, it’s in your vein, but you can fight against them You can’t be right, you’re so blind And it’ll always bring you Down on this way you will fail You’ve always been this Enemy that you thought you were better of In this world in trouble that you’re still bringing down ‘cause you can’t Find in your mind the strength to fight And it’ll always bring you down Ladies and gentlemen I had a dream. A dream where all the young generation could work and live in a world where everything will be possible. And you can trust me, this world’s gonna be real

Fight ! You can believe in me but you can’t believe in lies ! You’ll try to go ahead but you can’t without a fight ! And it’s up to me to be aware for you and I Can’t you be another man The one who’ll find the strength to take another way (A lie, a lie, it’s just a lie) To lead the fight and bring the men to better days (You’re mad, so mad, you’ll be mad) And from the cradle to the grave you’ll be (It’s time to find another life) The king in their world of desperation (It’s time, you’re mad, It’ll never save you) Mad, you’ve been mad and your fate finally catch You, you can’t believe in this hell where you were raised And you can’t find the faith and the strength to be enslaved Please forgive me father for I have sinned I pray for absolution but I’m not sure that you can Save my heart and soul from illusions that I hate ‘Cause it’s driving me insane It’s time So go ahead, forget the past You’ll find Another man into your mind Who’s tryin’ To lead you to another life So please Believe me and let’s take this ride For now You’re feeling bad but it won’t last So what Are you waiting for to sign the pact And be The holy savior of your life The wreck The future this damn lie
6.
I can’t see the light You put inside of me tonight Oh and I can see the spark Going out of my mind I am here tonight To leave the past, to leave the lies Oh and I promise you I will miss you, I will save you From your own rise and decline The time has come for me He opened up my eyes on this shameless life But I can’t find the strength to say goodbye Once again, you’ve never been On the road we used to live in Can’t you see through the fears That you can believe in me, and carry on I can hear you I can feel you I can’t hold you into my mind So I will trust you I will love you So why, why can’t you leave me alone in my mind The time has come for me Falling angel in the night To lead ‘em in the dark And be the future of your life Once again, you’ve never been On the road we used to live in Can’t you see through the fears That you can believe in me, and carry on Close your eyes and through the time I will send you in another life Lead the fight and break the lies You will be the one, the savior of your past Looking at the road again You still bring me down Asking what tomorrow brings You will never find The blood and the tears wrote your fate Through the Devin’s hell And the day will come for you to find Your own shameless life
