For The Revolution lyrics by Kalmah
1. For the Revolution
To the mighty star, to all its people, to the mankind And to all true believers You have known your brother and your leader You know he never bowed to the despots The dark cloud wavering in the sky Pushed forward with ill-willed wind Underneath walks a man having a dream Wants to teach us his own way to live Forgiveness is the word that he spreads Through the barrels of the guns he have made Entire world he wants to obey And more power for himself to take What does he want from us? What is the reason? To occupy and to conquer, in the name of freedom? We donīt need his principle in revolt we shall rise Soon he will notice that no-one converts us The protest marchers fill up all the streets Soon will bleed in the hands of police The peaceful riot dispersed by the fire In our eyes burning bright we will fight So my brother, reach out your hand And receive the true meaning of faith The seed of the war has been planted Stand firm For the Revolution We rise, We die Amber lights illuminate all guns blazing I am the whip of God lashing you down This land that yesterday leaked nectar Now nothing but a battlefield opened wounds bleeding I can smell the gun oil in my hands When Iīm taking away empty shells I can see someone falling down dead So the game is about to begin Our faith is our bedrock We shall not give up till we drop And we wonder, we cannot understand The meaning For the Revolution We rise, We die
2. Dead Manīs Shadow
Tonight Iīll see the line of thousand ghosts Those once were alive behind my eyes And Iīm on the crossfire of my manic thoughts Under the yoke of the hidden evil Why did you follow my footsteps? Why did you present yourself against me? Now I have to run, I have to leave behind The things Iīve done Over the plains, over the mountain tops Covered with snow, to the unknown, into the Foreign lands there shall I go But I know theyīre after me and it is my time to bleed Those restless dreams keep on teasing I can see your eyes just before you died And the blood red scar between my shoulder blades It is making me mad Dead manīs shadow wavering above me Dead manīs shadow a restless soul haunting me Now I have to run, I have to leave behind The things Iīve done Over the plains, over the mountain tops Covered with snow, to the unknown, into the Foreign lands there shall I go But I know theyīre after me and it is my time to bleed Those restless dreams keep on teasing I can see your eyes just before you died And the blood red scar between my shoulder blades It is making me mad Dead manīs shadow wavering above me Dead manīs shadow a restless soul haunting me
3. The Holy Symphony of War
State of the world today Nothing but the same Violence and disgrace And no-one to blame A murder on a TV-screen The adults playing their game PlayStation controls childrenīs lives As they grow up theyīll do the same I sing - you sing - we all sing Holy Symphony of War Fearful thoughts hide in peopleīs minds Control those who canīt deny Under the patronage of steel The great man is turning the wheel Behind the scenery of abundance No-one hates more than the poor The scribe are spreading the word Declare the peace in the name of war I sing - you sing - we all sing Holy Symphony of War
4. Wings of Blackening
Hey Mr.Charles where are you now? Knocking at the heavenīs door But thereīs no-one around? Standing behind your theory That a man comes from an ape? Or canīt you see all that God has created? Antichrists among us, teasing you up Material world god questioning your heart Stand firm in you faith, remember to pray Secret of life, leave it all to Christ Master lead me, please, in through your door Pierce this willing ear just one more time Please let me stay, Iīll work like a slave I will suffer, obey Hey Mr.Adolf where are you now? Trying to find the path to the light in vain? Standing behind your theory of inequality? Or canīt you see all that God has created? Demons of sin fly with the wings of blackening Pulling faces at you Hey Mr.Vladimir where are you now? Standing behind your theory of ideology? Where have gone all you ideas now? Or canīt you see all that God has created? Demons of sin fly with the wings of blackening Pulling faces at you
5. Ready for Salvation
Desperate cry of a child Who only wants to live An innocent human being Deprived of all his dreams Painful faces of the others Who once were the chosen Innocent eyes of the child Never going to see The voice of crystal children Of deaf ears it has fallen And the preacher delivers a sermon But whoīs ready for salvation Remembrance behind the scene Of unjustice and injustice In the forsaken faces Expression of frustration The voice of crystal children Of deaf ears it has fallen And the preacher delivers a sermon But whoīs ready for salvation
6. Towards the Sky
Time crawls and time flies Seasons wave when theyīre passing by Iīm walking along the shore Wondering is this true or dream? Now when world is covered with blood Everything is filled with nothingness The smoke has covered the sky And the scene is filled with blackness Production spitting shit Into this Godīs gift Consequences are taking us We donīt care future is here The energy policy is just a word Just a tool in a political battle Time is right but who has got he key Thatīll open the sky for the sun to gleam Warnings and threats fall on deaf ears Wilderness screams, it cries for help And from his throne God is watching The world with empty eyes Up towards the sky I send me prayer and I want her to survive But without the light she dies And the cancer is wasting her lungs I can feel that but I still stay hopeless And the smoke in the sky wonīt dispel And God is too busy to give a damn Warnings and threats fall on deaf ears Wilderness screams, it cries for help And from his throne God is watching The world with empty eyes Up towards the sky I send me prayer and I want her to survive But without the light she dies
7. Outremer
Outremer overseas The kingdom of Christianity The crusaders in their holy war Fighting for their temple lords For the crown or for the ring Deus Vult! Shall they shout Three points of view nothing else to do But submit or rule Outremer overseas Religious game played by the kings Prosperity or arrogance The reasons for hypocrisy For the crown or for the ring Deus Vult! Shall they shout Three points of view nothing else to do But submit or rule Jerusalem - the powder keg Lying at our Fathers feet The inferior holding the light That shall burn the sky We are the fuse we are the fuel What can we do to stop the fire? The answer will be found from our brains Not from the books or from the tales Jerusalem - the powder keg Lying at our Fathers feet The inferior holding the light That shall burn the sky
8. Coward
Oh dear mother why did you give me a birth I didnīt ask to be born Oh dear father canīt you see what youīve done Iīm not the one you wanted me to become A coward I am and a good-for-nothing Still I can walk over you When my head is down and Iīm in distress Moonshine is my gentle mistress A drunkard I am and a yokel, too Still I can walk over you My hand is poor and I have to bluff But cheating to win is not even enough Walking alone, testing the water Hiding skeletons in my closet A coward, a drunkard, a withdrawn, a stranger What the hell I feel no shame What the hell I feel no shame So dear mother why did you give me a birth I didnīt ask to be born So dear father canīt you see what youīve done Iīm not the one you wanted me to become Walking alone, testing the water Hiding skeletons in my closet A coward, a drunkard, a withdrawn, a stranger
9. Like a Slave
A sheet of paper wet by your sweat Among the others scattered on your desk Unstable market just canīt wait You moral is now at stake And you know behind the closed doors Theyīre watching you What is your real share? Are you the one they want to fill up their pockets? Or are you simply worth nothing? Smile, obey, behave, educate Do what they tell you to do Like a slave - Hiiohei! Meanwhile Iīm drilling a hole Through the ice Surrounded by white infinity Youīre keep on rolling in your tread wheel My friend, why donīt you just follow me? And you know behind the closed doors Theyīre watching you What is your real share? Are you the one they want to fill up their pockets? Or are you simply worth nothing? Smile, obey, behave, educate Do what they tell you to do Like a slave - Hiiohei!
