Media Blackmail

This is a war, which not exists
Created by them and shared with us
The propaganda tool
for bringing hate into the masses
Most powerful engine
which creates a cancer inside the core
A first and biggest step
To force the people to unleash the war
Turn on TV. You’ll find
your neighbor is your enemy
If you’re a docile puppet
Aggravate the situation
The media blackmail
Will decide for you where to belong
Don’t be afraid
Be strong to resist
You have a power to mind by your own
So what you’re waiting for?
Savior, defender, liberator
Open mouth and close your ears
Brother, friendship of the peoples
Eat the food that flows so well
Burglar, aggressor, imperialist
Open eyes, open mouth
it principally concerns yourself
Shout so loud, you’re disagree
The media blackmail
Will decide for you where to belong
Don’t be afraid
Be strong to resist
From the media blackmail
"Семьи проживающих в донецкой области стали получать посылки с отрезанными головами своих родных. Все убитые - это ополченцы, которые попали в плен к боевикам правого сектора."
"Проект "Украина" задумывался как "Антироссия", то есть против всего русского, против России. И самое главное - это уничтожение православия."
"Моего сына одевают в костюм Путина. И люди становятся в очередь чтобы насиловать моего четырехлетнего мальчика."
"Даже сейчас уже молодых девушек убивают, и с них делают консервы мясные.
Climb the highest point of your land
Look on all sides, to the horizon
Woods, fields, seas, mountains
All of this belongs to you
Not to those who teaching you
You are the master of this land
bear force to protect and stand
The media blackmail
Will decide for you where to belong
Don’t be afraid
Be strong to resist
From the media blackmail

The Monument
03:47
|
|

Until you’re standing on your feet
You’re recreating a hope inside us
The time will pass and we’ll have win
This bitter battle for our freedom
Was that monument made to you?
It’s shining by the river
You've raised your sword and shield to the sky
And turn it on your enemy
The ground will burn out when you’ll raze your wings
And flap them over heads of invaders.
And hot wind will purify our Motherland
Get free from this cell
Shoot up above us and
Rise our will to being free
Until you stand – you inspire us
You’re symbolizing the brave of nation
Shoulder to shoulder we will fight
Will fight until we keep the hope inside
that monument was made for you
it shining by the Dnipro river
the ground will burn out when you’ll raze
and flap them over their hads
and hot blastwave will purify your motherland

Devastated Grave
08:39

Світе тихий, краю милий,
Моя Україно, За що, мамо, гинеш?
Чи ти рано до схід сонця Богу не молилась,
Чи ти діточок непевних звичаю не вчила?
Виростали мої квіти, мої добрі діти,
Панувала і я колись на широкім світі,
Панувала… Ой Богдане, нерозумний сину
Подивись тепер на матір, на свою Вкраїну,
Що, колишучи, співала про свою недолю,
Що, співаючи, ридала, виглядала волю.
Ой Богдане, Богданочку, якби була знала,
У колисці б задушила, під серцем приспала.
My sons in exile
Working on their own
Mighty Dnipro has dried up
Left me alone
Muscovite is digging
All my native graves
Let him dig them deeper
Reach my holy caves
Devastated open grave
What do they search there?
Who’s buried there?
Let the werewolves grow up
Help the beasts to rule your lands
Grab a patched shirt from poor mother
Unworthy of a man's name!
Devastated open grave
What do they search, who’s buried there?
Anwers of grand ancestry?
Not a half. Not a bit of it.
Devastated open grave
If they found out
What’s buried there
Children wouldn't cry
Mother wouldn't die

Of Dog and Wheel
05:23
|
|

This is it
The call of instinct of the
Dog, that searches
A possibility to
Work, evolve
Create itself in what it
Wants to be best
To be best!
Feel the strength
You’re ready as never before
You strike
Your enemy and show who’s
First in sprint
Of mighty mind and will
You’re on your way
This is it
The call of instinct of the
Dog, that searches
A possibility to
Work, evolve
Create itself in what it
Wants to be best
To be best!
I am a running dog
Last action is to win
Running for the wheel
To prove my meaning
I am a running dog
In a step from the goal
Must catch up with this wheel
Escape the despair
This is a time to decide what you are standing for
Be sure and honest, you’ll chose the right way
This is a chance to achieve your objectives
Everyone waits for what you can display
The killing road will try to beat you to the ground
You’re battle-seasoned sprinter, fight for your crown
Can’t you see
Everything is in your hands
You’re free
To choose your weapon and to strike
But still
This wheel increasingly moves away from you
Feel the strength
You’re ready as never before
You strike
Your enemy and show who’s
Run and growl
Ready to catch this wheel and
Show them what you’re made of
I am a running dog
Last action is to win
Running for the wheel
To prove my meaning
I am a running dog
In a step from the goal
Must catch up with this wheel
Escape the despair

Endless Caravan
05:53
|
|

It’s only the desert that’s shown to your eyes
But you must keep them open wide
To see how they go under cloudless skies
Symbolizing endless motion
How can I find the alternative way
People, tell me, explain me again
I don't want to be the part of this endless caravan
Along the horizon they crawl like a snake
And you have no time to decide
If you want to live - their hand you must take
And always show them your devotion
We will wend our way
Then you’ll never reach and find us
That’s the price you pay
No thoughts and no talks
Only point of destination
You may fall and lag behind us
We will wend our way
He’s safe just who walks
And believes in our salvation
Been stone faced, with cleared minds
With no thoughts to turn from the right path
We will wend our way
By the hot sand-hills
to the endless horizon
Along the horizon they crawl like a snake
And you have no time to decide
If you want to live - their hand you must take
And always show them your devotion
Then you’ll never reach and find us
That’s the price you pay
No thoughts and no talks
Only point of destination
You may fall and lag behind us
We will wend our way
I don't want to be the part of this endless caravan
part of this endless caravan

Obsession
05:18
|
|

I am standing on
a big mountain built of my deeds,
of attempts that I have made
over my existence.
I am looking at
the world at my feet,
at this endless vault of heaven
and cannot see them
I am so accustomed to the wetness of the waters
the hardness of the ground,
the clarity of the sky,
Like a beast of prey
hunting for the turning
Anomalies lead my way
I cannot abandon
And each passing day becomes faded
The more I’m interested in, the more I’m wasted
Like a drunken hurricane, it will sweep me from within
And everything will grow faded in no time
Live in my wheel
in which I run day after day
I cannot appreciate
their nature any more
I need my way to reach the crossroads
And every path will lead upward
Like a hungry wolf
On a trail of victim
Anomalies lead my way
Tamers of my mind
And each passing day becomes faded
The more I’m interested in, the more I’m wasted
Like a drunken hurricane, it will sweep me from within
And everything will grow faded in no time
Like a drunken hurricane, it will sweep me from within
And everything will grow

Reborn Tomorrow
04:37
|
|

The drag of painful memories I always leave behind
For each ten minutes I get rid of them, my friend
And while the others see the end
A new beginning comes alive within my frame
I have no other memories, just point of destination
And in this life where everything is bought and sold
I just create my own world
With its own actors, scene and decorations
Don't care about my way
It cannot bring me sorrow
'Cause if I die today
I will be born tomorrow
Please, forgive me if can't recognize you
I don't remember even myself
Don't need your pities because I will surprise you:
I'm glad my head is not a bookshelf
Don't worry about who you'll be in my play
Cause when it begins I'll forget anyway
Don't care about my way
It cannot bring me sorrow
'Cause if I die today
I will be born tomorrow

Redhead Owl
07:03
|
|
||
On the stone, stone cold ground
I was lying exhausted
Got lost, lost at last
In search for heavenly medicine
Mad vultures flew
Above the silent body
They took me up high
And in that journey they told me:
“Beyond those hills there is a forest
Inhabited by magic bird
Spend your time just to find her
And peace of mind is to unfold”
Above the endless wood
Their claw has weakened
Thousands, thousands of blades
The branches managed to hurt me
I fell and turned off
Beheld the coloured dreams
All shades, shades of red
I woke up under the tree...
Redhead owl – I was amazed
Magic bird, but she sounded weird
Redhead owl – driven me crazed
Chanting again... and again!
I’ve heard a magic song
Raised my head... and saw
A redhead owl – on the highest top
She was beautiful
But her song sounded strange
I believed in what I need
And climbed up the tree
Never thought of consequences
I believed in what I need!
Never mind the time to find her
I climbed up to the tree
Redhead owl – I was amazed
Magic bird, but she sounded weird
Redhead owl – driven me crazed
Chanting again... and again!
Now it’s getting dark
The more I used to crawl up –
The more she used to sing it loud and clear
I am on the edge
I wished to catch her,
take her in my hands.
I decided to make my final step
But it frightened her
She’s turned her back and flown away
And I am... under the tree again
Through the leaves like blades
I fell on the ground
Shattered and cannot move my limbs
Paralyzed... distorted face... I’m left alone
No wish to go ahead again
In quest for useless medicine
All that remains – is to lie in the forest’s maze
Just watching how the redhead owl appears to flee
Away beyond – from good and bad
That’s quickly burying your dreams
