Subtraction

Album: Arise (1991)

  • First generation born
    A plague was created
    The cure is in my mind
    Solitude is all I see

    Powerful nations repress feeling
    Buried beneath the fear
    Making you a coward
    Buying your safety

    Grey shadows fill your head
    Stealing your last breath
    Scared of the future
    Prophecies of chaos

    Subtraction of personality
    Within the human race
    You'll always be

    Green castles from the past
    Bleeding in sands of war
    No man is immortal
    History is no more

    Confused leaders behind our backs
    Stifling our ideas
    Misunderstand signs of progress
    Minds of time regress

    Searching for an answer
    To understand myself Writer/s: ANDREAS RUDOLF KISSER, IGOR CAVALERA, MASSIMILIANO A. CAVALERA, PAULO XISTO JR. PINTO
