Swampsong lyrics by Kalmah

1. Heroes To Us

Old prophetīs land -a battlefield Of non-believers in a violent rage A declaration of human rights a pretext For maintenance of a new world order Above all written laws a growth concept Created by the patriot of the civilized world Rearmament -Welfare state Disarmament - Non-member state Free market economy a consequence Of military needs -loss of lives Human rights activists political pawn in a game Nothing Can they do without state subsidies A gift of today`s world Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us Production at any price Admiration of those who earn With blood on their hands We will never learn A gift of today`s world Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us...

2. Burbot`s Revenge

There is a net under the ice With a thousand knots tied And unchecked amount of slime Hanging down There is a burbot on the net Into the mesh he has put his head Now struggling for his life Entangling more and more And there is a fisherman on the ice Drilling a hole with sweat and blood Trying to draw the net above The icy surface But even though how hard he pulls The net wonīt budge Under the ice the net has stuck With thousand knots into the ground With frustration and despair in his mind he decides To fight to the bitter end with all his strength But with his latest wrench The net will tear to shreds Burbotīs revenge Burbotīs revenge With frustration and despair in his mind he decides To fight to the bitter end with all his strength But with his latest wrench The net will tear to shreds Burbotīs revenge Burbotīs revenge Burbotīs revenge Burbotīs revenge...

3. Cloned Insanity

You take a frogīs eye and give it to a man Pleased with your cyborg proudly you stand This glorious madness that is not in gods hands Makes you believe youīre all powerful This inhumane robot Becomes a heathen god Will be idolized and takes all control Spreads over the planet and infects us all With this evil act the main race will be And too late resisted by you or by me Cloned by you or by me Cloned Insanity Cloned by you or by me Cloned Insanity Cloned Insanity Cloned by you and by me Cloned Insanity Cloned by you and by me Cloned by you or by me Cloned Insanity Cloned by you or by me Cloned Insanity Cloned Insanity Cloned by you and by me Cloned Insanity Cloned by you and by me This inhumane robot Becomes a heathen god...

4. The Third, The Magical

Iīve been searching some answers concealed in my heart The spirit within Iīve been hunting those secrets with my deepest bottle But have found none So I need a deeper dive: With the screws on my lips I am falling down Into the kingīs sea Feel the rope winding in me And feel the touch Of oblivion Now Iīm floating There is no way out, diving deeper down In my memories All the losses and all the minor joys With affectation This rope around me tightens again And I wonder who I really am Who I really am? The third day, the magical A way to believe Iīm born again The third day, the magical A way to believe Iīm born again Waves of unconsciousness lulling me to sleep In my own whirlpool And the fear of sobering up Is lurking around But the rope around me tightens again And I wonder who I really am Who I really am? The third day, the magical A way to believe Iīm born again The third day, the magical A way to believe Iīm born again...

5. Bird Of Ill Omen

Thoughts of hope in the minds of those whose Lives are on decline A thousand lies told them with bright eyes And believed without doubts of employment Now itīs time to think very positive Deny all the evil things Hah, right time to face this reality Take all the pain Coming with me - Bird of ill omen Living in me - Bird of ill omen Bird of ill omen Purity behind the mask of innocence Weakness of this world Blind-eyed fools will never rise from unfairness Until theyīll join the Good! Coming with me - Bird of ill omen Living in me - Bird of ill omen Bird of ill omen The carrier of the crown of thorns Hides behind a dollar smile And will judge the Poor! So letīs throw away all our useless hope Nothing will ever change! Hah, right time to face this reality Take all the pain Coming with me - Bird of ill omen Living in me - Bird of ill omen Bird of ill omen...

6. Doubtful About It All

Things move when Iīm not watching them They have their own will And I donīt even feel insane Because I know Iīm ill I know there is an eye and Iīm under observation I am a marked man got some information Governments use millions for supervision Global message interception Satellite receivers of Echelon system Carnivore technique for digital control It is said that terror lives behind the wall of privacy But what do the rights really mean in our society? Finger prints, personal I.D, credit card, database A paradox of privacy Doubtful about it all Doubtful about it all Doubtful about it all Doubtful about it all Eyes of god, secret crimes, causality, reckoning day A paradox of humanity A paradox of humanity Doubtful about it all Doubtful about it all Doubtful about it all Doubtful about it all...

7. Tordah

Iīve chosen my way of life Iīll drink my every coin And even if Iīm broken Iīll drink my homemade moonshine Until it is all in my head and I will meet my fellows Those who creep around at nights and will not allow me To be acceptable, to be respectable, to be normal, To be a decent man But Iīm neurotic, I am vehement, I am withdrawn, A psychotic man Unsuccesful, hesitant Tordah! Tordah! Donīt have much lifetime left the rest Iīll spend in deep Tordah! Donīt have much lifetime left the rest Iīll spend in deep Tordah! And with all my fellows we will take our place on the bottom We will gather in your neighborhood to reach our destination We will drink our past, weīll drink our future for you my friend So, that youīll have a fixed point, a point of comparison To be acceptable, to be respectable, to be normal, To be a decent man But Iīm neurotic, I am vehement, I am withdrawn, A psychotic man Unsuccesful, hesitant Tordah! Tordah! Donīt have much lifetime left the rest Iīll spend in deep Tordah! Donīt have much lifetime left the rest Iīll spend in deep Tordah!

8. Man With Mystery

In the middle of nowhere Where the wild spruces grow Stands a man with his chainsaw Gloomy thoughts in his mind Until my foot has gone to sleep I must have sawn A million blocks of wood, no payment before What a hell did I do wrong to deserve this trade Feels like Iīm a marionette, an errand boy, a slave But I never give up I will never give up Gnawing bones, muscle cramps, backache Coldness, warmth, heavy rains, mosquitos And this goddamn saw that will never work But with a madmanīs eyes I carry on, nothing they can do A man with mystery A man without history A man with his story A man with mystery A man with mystery A man without history A man with his story A man with mystery...

9. Moon Of My Nights

I thought I knew who you were But I didnīt know myself Didnīt see the things hidden In my hollowness Didnīt peep round the curtain Of your exterior And the crack turned into an edge That opens between Listen to the wind singing in the grass, my love As you lay yourself down to rest Listen to the cry of the river in autumn cold, my dear Before I close the gates deep down inside You were Moon of my nights Moon of my nights Those secrets that I revealed Buried in icy bosom Those words that Iīve spoken Taken by the dawn The strings that were connected Separated parts left Read are the rhymes of story Of the endless poet Listen to the wind singing in the grass, my love As you lay yourself down to rest Listen to the cry of the river in autumn cold, my dear Before I close gates deep down inside You were the moon of my nights And you know you were the moon of my nights Moon of my nights You were Moon of my nights Moon of my nights Moon of my nights Moon of my nights...
