Little did he know
Little did he know

Little did he know
Feeling didn’t show
Now he’s in “too”
Too deep to sleep
Too dumb to run
Too mean ‘n obscene

Too far to stop
Too far from top
Too mean ‘n obscene

Soon, he’ll be in two, too
Too close to hell
Too lost in spell
Too mean ‘n obscene

Він мало що знав
Він мало що знав
У що він вплутався
Він мало що знав
Почуття не виявилося
Тепер він у "теж"
Занадто глибоко спати
Занадто тупо, щоб бігти
Занадто злий і непристойний

Він мало що знав
Він мало що знав
У що він вплутався
Він мало що знав
Почуття не виявилося
Тепер він у "теж"
Занадто далеко, щоб зупинитися
Занадто далеко від вершини
Занадто злий і непристойний

Він мало що знав
Він мало що знав
У що він вплутався
Він мало що знав
Почуття не виявилося
Тепер він у "теж"
Незабаром він теж буде у двох
Занадто близько до пекла
Надто заблукав у чарах
Занадто злий і непристойний

LYRICS
Gone the birds and bees
Farewell life of ease
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
Forced down on our knees
Begging for the keys
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
An inhumane squeeze
No way to appease
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
Trying to starve and freeze
Atrocities as these
We’ve fallen… under siege
Under siege
Everyone sees your sleaze
We’re calling out your siege
Is that you want to be
Besiege
Is that where you want to be
Besiege
Tragedy
Besiege
Travesty
Besiege
The way you be
Be siege

bookmark_borderIf You Believe in God

LYRICS
Feel the onslaught coming
Enter the terror reign
See the forces are bombing
The human error rain
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

Evils not relenting
Reign of terror remains
See all the rules bending
Beyond moral restrains
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?

The battlelines redrawing
Extend the terror range
At our hearts it’s gnawing
Do you find guilt strange?
If you believe in God
It’s time to pray for peace
If you’re an atheist
Some empathy at least?
Amen

LYRICS
What’s the answer
So perplexing
Witches’ hexing
Please tell me, sir
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
Politicians are rambling
A gremlin in charge of the Kremlin
With a narcissist twist
The underground children trembling
With their lives we’re gambling
For Christ’s sake
How much can they take?

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?

You cast your die
Die is your fate

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
You’re in too deep

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
Cut off your nose
to spite your face
Lord knows
Human race disgrace
