Cut To Fit - Fire Works

1. THE LIQUID TURNS TO FIRE

So we all crack under pressure
When we dive in too deep
Carving our existence
In flesh and bone
Scarring our memories
With rusty nails

Trees are burning with what-if's
Life is turning yellow and burnt amber
Death has taken another one of us
And all we can think about is ourselves.

They'll be lowered in the cold, cold ground
Wearing gowns of pine and oak
This is something solid
And irreversable
It burns in our psyche.

Cancerous season is upon us again
And I wonder how many will I lose this time.

It's like diving into ocean deep
Deeper down into the sea
You feel the weight of the world
Crushing your will
Demolishing your hope
You will not get out.
You will never breathe air again.
You know you'll breathe in water.
Eventually... The liquid turns to fire.

2. HELIOS

Our father. Giver of life. Fulfilling father.
Intoxicates himself with his own fumes
And runs around with the knife.

Shame's not in his vocabulary
We have lived under the threat of violence
Since we we're given birth
Through the flow of time
Our every trauma can be traced
Back to the Sun.

Helios - Apollon - Fallen Angel - The Antichrist
Helios - Apollon - Fallen Angel - The Antichrist

Our father. Giver of life. Fulfilling father.
Intoxicates himself with his own fumes
And runs around with the knife.

Shame's not in his vocabulary
We have lived under the threat of violence
Since we we're given birth
Through the flow of time
Our every trauma can be traced
Back to the Sun.

Helios - Apollon - Fallen Angel - The Antichrist
Helios - Apollon - Fallen Angel - The Antichrist

3. Tellus

Our Mother.
Made of water and mountains
She's the calming ocean
She's eternal fountain

The sound of her woe
Can wipe us off her face

Resonance of this magnitude
Could bring buildings to the ground
Strange is truly the power of the sound
Astonishing amount the energy it holds...
It holds....

These two worlds converge
And soon they will collide
if we're waiting for apocalypse
We'll unconsciously strive for it

And we are the six-year-old
In between.
The martyrs for greater good
Icaros - Jesus - Einstein, aligned

We are their semen.
Wasted seed in her eye.
And she is getting pissed upon
By our father Helios.
She'll wipe us away
Flush us down the drain

4. WE'RE SLAVES

In these closed-circuit systems
People are rid from all responsibilities
Alongside goes their freedoms
We're wolves with sheep abilities
We're being controlled and watched
Under Faceless surveillance
Technocratic society
Keeping an eye of it's slaves

All resistance is prevented
By ridiculing opposition
Revolutionaries re-educated
Brainwashed and reinstated

When you strip language of all words
Eventually they lose their meanings
And when there's no way to express emotion
They'll tarnish in time.

Festering ugliness of this society
Humilitation and self-loathing
Disconnected by global social network
Communication - diminished!
Replaced with meaningless bullshit!
uninformative, hacked up knowledge

We have six billion mouths
But not a single ear
We have twelve billion arms
But no more fingers to burn.
We have six billion mouths
But not a single ear
We have twelve billion arms
But no more fingers to burn.

We're being controlled and watched
Under Faceless surveillance
Technocratic society
Keeping an eye of it's slaves

We are slaves.

We have six billion mouths..
But not a single ear..


5. OF BIRDS & SNAKES

Like birds in their prime
Colorfully feathered are our lies
And like snakes in their dusty scales
We're chasing each other in the night
Emerald eyes glowing in the dark

Like birds with their light bones
We are but one mortal species
There's nothing special to it
We drug ourselves.
We don't see the forest from the trees
Our reality is one-dimensional.
It is our cage




Like Snakes with their venom teeth
We're bound to the ground
We circle around. Biting eachother's tails
Measuring our enemies
We're exactly the same.
We are our worst enemy.
The liar in our Eden, our brother.
Our blood.

Slowly we develop from colorful birds
To bitter vultures.
Slowly we evolve from snakes
Into lizards
Our hearts turn black
And there's no more turning back.

We're vultures and lizards ripping eachother apart.
Like birds and snakes..
We're vultures and lizards ripping eachother apart.

6. ABOVE

Burning flesh, melting skin.
Bringing peace into this shattered mind.
I'm ending one life and starting another
This is my statement. I stand calm in the flames.
Not even fire can change my mind
I rather burn
Than tolerate this.
My wrath won't burn
My disappointment won't melt.
I stand my ground.
In this moment of death,
I found peace
I found balance
I'm ash, I'm dirt
I'm burnt bones
I'm above.

7. JUSTICE IS A WHORE

We tend to claim that justice is blind
But has it even occured to our mind
How small we stand before her might
And how useless it is to fight
Under her judging eye
It's like serving justice to the blind
Serving justice for mankind....

We tend to think that we are right
That this is ours and we must fight
And there's no use for being polite
I take mine with the kitchen knife
It'se like serving justice to the blind
Like serving justice for mankind.

Justice is a whore raped by all our lies
By all our lies.

Of Birds and Snakes

Like birds in their prime
Colourfully feathered are our lies
And like snakes in their dusty scales
We're chasing eachother in the night
Emerald eyes glowing in the dark

We're afraid to breathe
We're afraid to take flight
We're afraid to show our weakness
We're afraid to die

Like birds with their light bones
We are but one mortal species
We are one kind of dying matter
And there's nothing special to it

We drug ourselves
We don't see the forest from the trees
Our reality is one dimensional
It is our cage

Like snakes with their venom teeth
We're bound to the ground
We circle around. Biting each other's tails
Measuring our enemies. Measuring ourselves.
We're exactly the same

Slwoly we develop from colourful birds
To bitter vultures
Slowly we evolve
From snakes to lizards
Our hearts turn black.
And there's no turning back.

Cut To Fit - Babylon Burns lyrics

1 HOW I SEE THE WORLD

Our banal ways
Fastening demise
Severe burns in both arms
No more fingers to be burnt

Too many mistakes on our conscience
Blood filtered through sands of time

Faceless authorities feed us their power
This is how I see the world

Drowning in blood
for no cause
too many faults
obsessed with war
regret is gone
replaced with guns
we're burning the walls
to get out of here

2 THIN AIR

Death beats D-beats in my chest
My body will be a vermins nest
My skull will be used as a spit bowl
My soul will rot with me

And by every second it's harder to breathe
Thin air

this claustrophobic terror, it takes it's hold on free
I need to breathe this thin air, I need to set my soul free

3 MASSGRINDER

We are controlled by mass media
Forged in the flames of pop culture
Manipulation prevents hysteria
They circle us like vultures

Cut the ties to all contextual understanding
We are guided to this state of submission

Gaga thrown to disturb your mind
Hidden intentions to make us obey
Lose your face in to the sea
Of different social masks

MOSH!

Mediocrity is like malignant tumour
Eating it's way to our brain
Our ambition challenged by plain temptation
Of settling for some heap-shit lies

Cut the ties to this useless group of morons
Let them remain in this stable state of confusion

4 SHITFACE SONG

Brand new skin - already stained with sin
Exchange of blood, overdose on heroin

Do I need to take your shit? No fucking way!
Hate to say, but I told you so, now you're dead to me.

Drug abuse - or who's really abusing who?
Needless to say, you need needles every day
Get the fuck off, drug abuser.

5 BORN TO BE BLIND

From the moment of your birth
You are part of this big herd
Being guided by this hidden hand
Which doesn't exist by any chance

You're born to be blind!
Born to be blind!

Choking to your daily bread
your life is but a mistake
Now when it hangs by a single thread
You see the value of pain

6 AMMUNITION IS CHEAPER THAN BREAD

Ammunition is cheaper than bread
I hate those who profit from death
Making money on other's suffering
Big corporations run this world like cattle

And while we struggle on their leash
THey load their guns and wait for release
When bullets are cheaper than human lives
They load their guns and shoot only to kill

7 VIHA JA PELKO

Tuhoan kaiken erilaisen
Eri uskonnot ja värit tieltäni raivaan
Ja vasta tapettuani kaikki huomaan
niiden kaikkien vuotaneen samaa verta

Tyhmyys ei tunne rajoja
Se ei ymmärrä sanoja
Ei käsitä näkemäänsä
Ei käsitä kauneutta

Ja kun kaikki on tehty sen nään
Miten pelko voi sekoittaa pään
Niin helppoa on oikeuttaa
Tuho jonka itse aiheuttaa

8 OMNIPOTENT UNION

Aligned to enslave
Everyone who won't obey
Choose between slavery and obedience
Swallow every fucking word of law

A simple choice to make
Join us or lose your face
All good will be replaced
With short-term lies and poker face

Peer pressure's growing these morons decide
Whether we can live or not
Pathetic masturbation on this powerplay

Too much power in these wrong hands
Bite them off!

9 WESTERN DECLINE

Like a machine with no purpose
Repeating same chain of mistakes
Obediently keeping the course
of self-extermination

Like anal beads in a virgin ass
It's easy to accept that these are our last days

Programmed to defeat only it's self
Snake biting it's own tail
Grief and sorrow replaced
With fear and paranoia

Where the fuck is your god now?

10 ESCRAVIZADOR

Você entende que está dando
As chaves para os conquistadores?
Abrindo os portões da opressãdo certa
Convidando o escravizador!

Convidando o escravizador!

11 GRIND

This is why we do this
noise just for the sound of it
building up models of airplanes
just to blow them up

we were the kids who bought toy cars
So we could wreck them with stones

12 COCKROACH

Shit batters up to jam up the fan
Too many faults to correct
Limitless capacity of bullshit lies
What do you come up with next?

We're in decline cos we followed your path
Now you say it's our fault cos we strayed from the path
get your shit together you fucking cockroach

13 PRO BONO

I knew it, I fucking knew it
Your ONE foundation does good
But not for the ones in need
In fact it does good
For you

You are truly the world's biggest crap
If I stab you I'm sure you blees sap
or at least green blood
Or something like that anyway

Fucking shoot yourself already
Oh yeah
And Oprah is hypocrite
Fat ugly bitch too

14 BABYLON PALAA

Työmuurahaiset kiertävät päivästä toiseen pesää
Raatavat ympäri vuorokauden, jotta voisivat elää
Äkillinen konfliktin murtaa kehän, paniikki ottaa vallan
Hajanaiset joukot taipuvat, kollektiivisen mielen alla

Leikkaan itseni irti maailmastanne ja nauran kun Babylon palaa
Leikkaan itseni irti maailmastanne ja nauran kun Babylon palaa

"A social order seized by convulsive change,
dislocation values and spiritual uncertainty
Inevitably invites the kind of alienation that
Produces evil"

yhteistilit, asuntolainat
Merkkejä orjuudesta
Elät sitä päivästä toiseen
Elät toisten unelmaa

Babylon palaa!
