Orphaned Land

Fail Lyrics



No surprise this morning, as usual I woke up again to a

world that kills itself repetitively with no shame or

fear. The papers were telling me as always in burning

red colors that it's everywhere I'll go. An eternal

loop of slavery, murder, rape, corruption and wars.

Same old story in colored versions of death, death,

death. As if we are doomed, sucked and being smoked

from far beyond by a dead star, a black hole, an

endless appetite that swallows our light and wants

nothing but more & more & more.



Yes I am too the fuel that feeds this machine, this

vast engine of destruction that takes our lives, our

souls and our freedom. And what other choices do I have

in a society that educates me to be stupid. I am

brainwashed like a sheep, so that every liar with a sip

of charisma can easily turn himself into my "shepherd".

So, here I am, sitting like a fairy princess, waiting

for her Messiah while happiness is everywhere except

here and now. And we all keep on hanging onto our

hopes, while the storm still rages inside.



Slippery tongues fork from my screen

Spewing such lies in the name of the green

They play the game of thrones till one wins

A rule of one liar ends and another beings



So why do we fail to see

And why in this jail are we

Living our life with the threat of fire

We’re losing again all to this mire



Money tied with power, war and bloodlust

They’ll spend our money until none of it lasts

They will send our sons to war to die for a god

That they use as a coin to barter for blood



“Yes sir, no sir” – can I go home now?

Your thirst for blood has lost me somehow

I was young when they took me;

I am a young man no more

As they used me and threw me like the army’s last whore



A children’s crusade – we are brothers in arms

A multitude of fools like a rain of falling stars

We walk the road to war while they smoke their cigars

Like a serpent forever feed on its tail

This cycle of death goes on forever gain,

and again… and again…
