No I won’t give up- No I won’t give up Suffering screaming aching sinking drowning In a sea of mud Stumbling falling kneeling never crawling Back on my feet again Struggling fighting question everything,shedding sweat tears and blood I’ve been through hell to get this far And now you wanna make me go back No I won t give up-I m gonna light up this dark(x4) Gonna light it up Suffering screaming aching sinking drowning in a moving swamp freezing boiling asphyxiating frantic all the time Struggling fighting question everything shedding Sweat tears and blood I’ve been through hell to get this far And now you want make me go back No I won t give up-I m gonna light up this dark(x4) Gonna light it up No I won’t Give up No

Everytime I choose the lesser of 2 evils,I always end up with the greater of these evils. Fake dilemmas put my mind into a dillusional state,I’ve been there once,been there twice and now you want me to do it again You showed me the cheese but not the trap,you deceived me with your diabolic ways,I was so worn out and vulnerable,you used that to get what you could take… you used that to get what you could take from me! I get by,barely alive,for how long,will this go on?(x2) This Time I won’t give in, to the lesser of 2 evils,won’t give in,won’t give in,to the lesser of 2 evils(x2) You want me quiet,you want me in doubt,short-sighted and insecure,a passive person till I hit the ground,shallow dumb and poor Maybe I m broken but I m not blind,maybe I m tired but I m not done,I know I am loosing but I still got time,odds are against me but I wont give up Past experience is my compass past mistakes are my guide,I had enough with your crap, this time I am one with my mind,this time I'll struggle to get it right Cause I get by,barely alive,for how long,will this go on?(x2) This Time I won’t give in, to the lesser of 2 evils,won’t give in,won’t give in,to the lesser of 2 evils(x2)

Feeling down pretty much all the time ain't got chains but my hands are tied My mind is castrated and I can't think clear,all I can think of,is my brand new fear Work like a slave or not at all,either way I got no hope Cause they decided that’s best for me,they decided again without me I've been stuck in a vicious circle going round & round I've been stuck in a vicious circle going down Scrolling down the screen all day,read all the useless information of the day Staring persistently at the wall,trapped in a 4-wall trying to find the door Can;t take panic attacks no more,need someone can't make it through alone Alienated,degenerated,cause I’m oppressed and suffocated I've been stuck in a vicious circle going round & round I've been stuck in a vicious circle going down

Howling Wolf 02:43
I thought I had found,a cool way,to escape my misery To pretend that my problems,will go away,without me doing anything Years went by,and I believed,that nothing could happen to me Until I realized that sth lives inside,lives inside me I’ve got a wolf inside my head,Most of the times he howls so loud,That I can’t focus on anything else,Can’t find a way to calm him down.. Now I am trapped in a maze,my rotten brain,has created for me Filled with despair,filled with dismay,can’t get out of here He seems so angry,so disturbing like a,migraine that never cease Gotta find a way to put him to sleep,before,he terminates me I’ve got a wolf inside my head,Most of the times he howls so loud,That I can’t focus on anything else,Can’t find a way to calm him down.. Diviate from sanity(x4) I’ve got a wolf inside my head,Most of the times he howls so loud,That I can’t focus on anything else,Can’t find a way to calm him down..

Pendejo 02:33
My back is against the wall,my health needs intensive care You left me naked out in the cold,while you were acting like you cared My life is underrated my future looks ominous My discontent is escalating,you try to choke it with your crooked cops Your knee is on my neck pendejo I can’t breath,this time I am gonna fight back,ain’t gonna let you murder me My back is against the wall,my rights are under attack Your so called justice squeezes my throat,I may be different but I ain’t dumb And you kick me when I am down,you try to make me shut up You push me around but I stand my ground,you release your dogs to clean the mess up Your knee is on my neck pendejo I can’t breath,this time I am gonna fight back,ain’t gonna let you murder me Pendejo(whispering) Your knee is on my neck pendejo I can’t breath,this time I am gonna fight back,ain’t gonna let you murder me

Eventhough you went to school No teacher taught you how to use your mind They just made you learn their answers But never to ask why Eventhough you had wings No parent encouraged you to use ‘em to fly They just projected on you their dreams Freedom of choice denied Refrain: All I know is that this damn road is a road you got to walk alone Bought and sold,not anymore, search for answers on your own Eventhough you were so young They chose for you a religion and a god Make sure you would follow- follow their path When you grow up Eventhough you had nothing to do (with) They found a way to blame it on you How long are you gonna wait to To believe in you?? Refrain: All I know is that this damn road is a road you got to walk alone Bought and sold,not anymore, search for answers on your own

Bombs fall like rain,outside my door,I can’t find a place to hide,nowhere to go. Everytime I look around I don’t like what I see,death and poverty pervade everything Oh…..i don’t wanna die Oh…..that’s why I left my home behind Walked for miles,nights & days,towns & cities crossed,somewhere between the mountains my last hope was lost I paid a smuggler with some others,to go across the sea,but the boat he put us in,sunk eventually Oh…..i don’t wanna die Oh…..that’s why I left my home behind And the bodies are floating on the sea..and the babies are crying desperately,and the fascist knife is ready to kill,us who left alive And they threw us in a jail to live,and they treated us as killers & thieves,and the only crime I ever commited,was not to be killed Oh…..i don’t wanna die Oh…..that’s why I left my home behind

Helldays 03:08
Corruption is the symptom not the cause Of a world that crumbles day by day The weak will always pay the cost While the strong will find a way Refrain: Your free market is just a hole Full of lethal snakes They’re poisoning my mind They’re poisoning my soul I am living in helldays Man exploiting man in the name of profit And this is called business as usual Castrated consumers unable to think The paradise you sell is fictional Refrain: Your free market is just a hole Full of lethal snakes They’re poisoning my mind They’re poisoning my soul I am living in helldays Selective freedom ,selective justice Selective morality Now hell are my days & hell are my nights A substitute of life made for me Refrain: Your free market is just a hole Full of lethal snakes They’re poisoning my mind They’re poisoning my soul I am living in helldays
