Face The New World

from Yorick by Dawn of Oblivion

/

about

When bringing more metal influences into the band we gave ourselves the opportunity to write songs like this. This is a more of a poetic view on the darker sides of man and the cause and effect we bring upon our lives.
We still like the ending repeats: 'If God exists, well is he proud of this?'

lyrics

Lyrics:

I watch a world under siege
I watch a world out of relief
The twisted bodies of our youth
Taste the shame of their own blood
The age of wrath, we're all doomed to die
But justice is far from our hands
I don't know what they're trying to prove
Hate your neighbor if he's not like you

CHORUS:
I could stand here just for the night
I could watch the children cry
Burning houses, empty rooms
Face the new world

A young sweet girl is going to bed
She's anxious 'cause she's not going alone
Her own father wants to feel her
Sex! Sex! Sex! Sex!
It's not sex, it's not love, it's awful waste
She will never feel the love to a man
His incestuous addiction destroys her life
It's not a fiction, it's everywhere
Take me out of this place, out of this hate
The Chaos surrounds us hour by hour
If the world is Charon then what is hell?

CHORUS

Come to me
Come and see
Come to me

CHORUS

This path is long, an eternal inferno
Who gives the right to take a life in one's hands?
If you don't have the knowledge
To resurrect one from the dead
You should not be so eager to deal death sentences
While they're killing themselves on the Balkan
For country, for colours, for religion
We're all the same
We're all the same

CHORUS

If God exists, well is he proud of this?
(repeat)
