NEUROSIS INC. LYRICS

1. Karma

[Instrumental]

2. Pain (The Sad Fact)

[Letra & Música: J. Mackenzie]

Pain, pain, the sad fact
Pain, pain

Thank you for the pain
Thank you for the chaos
The very true friends for me
Throughout this dreadful life

Things are blacker then ever
A constant battle rages in my mind
When to end my life is the question left
Of the thing that will lay me to rest

[Coro]
Pain, pain, the sad fact [x2]
Pain, pain
My life has come to an end
My life is done

My selfish decision, the idea will come a fact
The world has overwhelmed my soul
There is nothing left of the warrior I used to be
Fought for years with a lot of tears

The sad fact is I will be soon be forgotten
My name will fade away, my body too
Cowardice will be the only word
That people will speak about me

[repite coro]

The good things I have done will rot
There is no other place worse than this world
I would like to change but I cannot
Things are very dark and unreal for me

3. The White Man

[Letra & Música: J. Mackenzie]

Nothing remains of my past
Just a little hatred
A little fear inside
The white man has come

Nothing reminds me of my past
What I used to do, used to feel
A new life is born from today
Learn to walk fast in this game

The white man has come
Wiped out all my tribe
Killed all my best pride
Crushed all my beliefs

Now I must learn to play the dirty game
Dirty game with no honesty
No remorse, my death is sure
Disease is waiting on my back

Who discovered who?
Is the primitive man?
Who is the beast?
Who wrote the history?

The deadly white man
The man who killed my tribe
The bastards that came across the sea
And filled our lives with pain
Now there is no future for me

Technology - seems to me absurd
Technology - the way to kill fast

Who discovered who?
Is the primitive man?
Who is the beast?
Who wrote the history?

4. Love After Death

[Letra & Música: J. Mackenzie]

She gave me her hand
Led me out of the ruins
Anaesthesia for a painful life
New eyes for a new life

She is the fountain of innocence
The glory of a battle won
A bright red river of passion
That never meets the sea
In her precious womb
My son will be born
To breed a love fallen from the hands of god

Contradict, oppose, reject, confront
The ones that say that have never been in love
Contradict, oppose, reject, confront

If you want true love pain is close at hand
Pain is a part of life and has its reward

I said I would love her after death
She did not believe but the promise is still kept
I died a few years ago and my son became a man

She took away her hand
And led me back into the ruins
The anaesthesia was gone
And the eyes became so blind
The fountain ceised to exist
The battle was lost
And the bright red river of passion
Finally met the sea
She is the fountain of innocence
The glory of a battle won

5. Inner Hate

[Letra & Música: C. Rodriguez]

My day, my day starts with a sigh
A sigh that I don't know how long will last
Every dawn I think I have a vision
Of how I will react to the world

Inner hate - react
Inner hate - awake

My hate, my hate is about to flow
When very young
We wanted to change the world
But now the world has changed us
Do I have to remain silent?

Inner hate - awake

I don't want to live this way
I don't want to remain silent
I want my reaction
I don't want any more confusion

Sometimes I hear
Voices in my head
Created
In my subconscious
Those voices
Invite me to explode
To win back
What I gave to this life

I look at life
As something wrong
The matrix of my being
Wants to reign
The voices
Are getting louder
My unconscious reality
Is coming

6. Third Reich

[Lyrics & Music: J. Mackenzie]

An astonishing man
Astonished the world
The avenger of versailles
The defier of the world

A genius and a criminal
Brought raging war to the world
People trembled to his word
And so did the world

He persevered and never lost hope
The owner of the third reich
A man who died for his cause
And refused to lose the war

Blood quickly spread its wings
To the innocent
Six years of decadence
That marked the world
The eagle reached its highest point in 1942
Sudden death and destruction
From skies and land

And in his last days he killed himself
Madness still standing by his side
Anger still guiding his thoughts
A shot in the mouth
And the nightmare was over

Third reich, third reich, third reich
Destiny upon the human race
Suffer when no god could help
Third reich, third reich, third reich
Legions blinded by hatred
To kill became natural

7. Open Wound

[Lyrics & Music: J. Mackenzie]

I have an open wound
Its right in my heart
When I watch this world
Getting worse and worse

The respect is lost
The truth has become a lie
We could change this shit
I have an open wound

Coro
Life means death
Love means hate
Peace means war
Life means death

Can you heal my open wound?
Perhaps if you behave better
If you stop destroying the world
You think you are so cool...

The respect is lost
The truth has become a lie
We could change this shit
I have an open wound

Life means death
Love means hate
Peace means war
Life means death

8. Deprived Of Liberty (Live)
