I'll Cast The First Stone The doors of a new millennium Open the stitches barbarity's holding on Your filth and perverse delirium Will be removed from the face of this earth My life burns slave in torment Just one deep cut has traced my path I'm here to glorify 25 years of militant outcry Against your weak flame Shines my ardent sun My pledge is sacred Forget compassion in times of war Human destiny, an apocalypse, An uprising in chaos and brutality, My committed consecration will never bow To the strength of the wind One light inspired me through my journey I have chosen, in submission making history I'm rebuilding my culture anew Forever sinner, reverence comes with justice A truth you can't comprehend The plagues of your modern Babylon Will be pierced by the bullets I evoke I'll cast the first stone

Shadow Life 02:48
Shadow Life The vile line of your conduct Pushed you on the gray path of remorse Fake virtues can't cover The shame of your vulgar life Vomit falls, body pain rejected You are humiliated one more time You poured your powder weakness Into your empty brain You are sniffing happiness away No gratification from your actions Just a sick sense of self-abandon Once power, now total loss of control Makes your existence worth the pains of hell Your passivity makes you a lower man Your addiction is an insult To the beauty of creation Destroyed by temptation, Your inaction is a symbol of every revolution failed Corroded, apathetic, frustrated, Yet arrogant, I wish you death Your insult have been like gasoline to my fire Throughout these years of confrontation Look what you have become You disgust me
3.
Gaia Calls We Die Blood claims the semen of Cain Humans breathe in search of immortality Mother Culture made us play a perfect role As mute brainless soldiers The path of intolerance is our guide Through our warfare for final liberation Three million years of natural living Have been ignored and dishonored I'm the prophet of your age Now I break the seal of your arrogance I'm the prophet in this world of disgrace Must defend innocents freedom Through physical resistance Rapers, abusers, butchers, speculators, dictators, abortion scientist, false Gods, And weak mercenaries of the status quo You'll kneel down for grace, While your victims laugh at your despair Collapse of putrid towers of asphalt And infamy as a vision in the restoration Of one eternal decree in the name of a higher justice I swear this hell will reach its end The sapience of ancient scriptures must come to light Always praise the bridges that carried us over Gaia calls we die

Interlude 01:14

Glory To Your Courage As you sow, so shall you reap A true light in days of selfishness Your actions are love in the purest form Imprisoned, publicly dishonored Please now confide in our reaction These words are like a pledge Of our loyalty to your war May we find your same fortitude and fight In the name of you heroes behind the bars Your revolutionary suicide Speaks deep truth to the world Liberators who fought injustice In a cold cell they now suffer inferno May the labs in flame warm your solitude Hope your dreams may one day be fulfilled Your detention may one day be felt as martyrdom Glory, glory to your courage In your heart may you find a family, plant a forest, Rule your mind and smile with the Gods Your seeds will sprout and grow As you sow, so shall you reap Sacrificed for freedom, your life a victory Burn sacrifice, burn sacrifice burn burn burn sacrifice burn sacrifice, burn
6.
From The Eyes Of The Victim Cold and gray skies walk my confinement My mother shot In her memories lie my inspiration Courage and pride Humans approach my cage As I feel my rage rise My dreams are my companion I view heaven in your anguish Fuck this hostile steel ordeal Where's your superiority Once this cage is shattered Your sterile line of defense Proclaims your weakness From the eyes of the victims Perceive my agony, fear your completion Green visions in my infantile desire to escape Imprisoned forever drowned in agony Screams and tears are my food and torture Oppression and resistance shape my rancor Though kill my life In my name speak truth do justice
