"Mr. Incredible"

Hey boys and girls, are you ready?
To live the daydream of a pop star
Doesn't matter the way you gonna make it
The prize is there for you to take it
Tell me now, are you ready?
For the crazy life of a rock star
Idolized by the crowd
Wanna be a living God?
Are you ready to sell your soul to the Devil?
The only way is up for your hyper ego
Close your eyes and dream as you are yielding
A Paradise on Earth lies there waiting
Wild boys and girls armed and ready
Dreaming the life of a gangster
Obsession and addiction
Money and drugs, chicks and cars
Everything can be sacrificed
In the name of fame
Anything can be available
Showtime for “Mr. Incredible”
Are you ready for amazing things to happen?
You and the Tempter dancing in the moonlight
The price you pay to be in the spotlight is irrelevant
Be a star no matter how, the only thing that is relevant
Are you ready to push the happiness button?
A million deaths on the other side of the planet
At once you'll have whatever you wish for
Isn't it the real thing? Are you in for the kill?
Yes you are!!! Yes you are!!!

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come and hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, say stay away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come and hanging around my door
I don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, say get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, say get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come and hanging around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, goodbye…

Above The Water

I was born to be free, but I don't feel it around me
And I know I must cut this Devil's rope that binds me
Deeply confused from creeds and theories
There is no air to breathe
Money is the only God these days, a charming golden cage
I don't believe in the agenda that is served
I need some wit, to stay outside the fence
Well I've got something to say
See now, don't look and don't hear but listen
Just had enough of this crazy world
What does not destroy me makes me stronger
Must keep my head above the water
Dawn till dusk, night and day, another scar to remind us
That our time is too short, must look ahead not behind us
Don't dangle carrots in front of me, your bait I will not bite
Yeah, I can see behind your filthy lies
You cannot ban me from light
I'm focused now, outside this poisonous fog
I will not dance anymore to your tasteless song
I guess it's not my style
I don't believe in your laws or religions
Who is your justice standing for?
I let your critics for you and your sheepfold
And I don't want you outside my door
Global distortion is of your own making
You are liable, I'll not take the blame
No paper tigers as I'm getting older
Must keep my head above the water
It is no lie…
Behind your smile – second thoughts
Your commitments – sneaky tongue
Holy men – money talks
Politicians – straw men
I think I'm finished with you…
Watch it!!!
I don't believe in your laws and religions
You gotta stay outside my door
Just keep your critics for you and your sheepfold
For those you're really standing for
Now see, don't look and don't hear but listen
Just had enough of this crazy world
Built to destroy, strong, wise, but older
Must keep my head above the water
Just stay up, above the water!
Hold on… Oh, Lord… Yeah! Alright!!!

Blue Cold Cell

Who is right or wrong, now doesn't really matter
I'm just trapped here, behind this stonewall
It's a snake pit, the place where I will suffer
Dazed and confused, a brokenhearted man
No one to trust, I sleep with one eye open
Cruel survival in a jungle behind bars
And no beam of light to warm a soul in torment
Just a sense of guilt that haunts me all the time
Imperfect timing, bad luck or I had it coming?
Now I wonder “how the Hell did I end up here?”
And all my friends have left me
I lost my self-esteem
And maybe God has forsaken me
A nightmare has swollen my dreams
In a blue cold cell
Where the Sun never shines
A blue cold cell
How does it feel like to lose your mind?
A blue cold cell
A sharp knife cuts you to the bone
In a blue cold cell, a living Hell
Fading away alone…
“Do something right just for once!
Are you mentally disabled young man?” – Teacher
“Ah, get lost loser!!!
I'm sure that someday you will end up in jail…” – Boss
“Just stay away from her man…
She is pure evil…” – Friend
“Do you think you're tough enough, hot shot?
Show me what you got..!” – Femme Fatale
“Oh, I'm so worried about you…
Please, be safe my little one…” – Mother
“You are a disgrace… A walking disaster! I have no son!
Do you hear me? No, not anymore…” – Father
Who is crying? (Oh, no)
Who is crying? (Feel me)
Who is crying now..?

The downfall came swiftly
For the mighty Indian nation
The end for a way of life
As old as the Creation
A Harvest Moon in blood
A bird of ill omen
The plains fell in darkness
Violence and destruction
Can you hear deadly stalking whispers through the trees?
Last flight for the golden eagle
Neither wolf, nor bear or horse can withstand
This restless persecution
Disgrace… The ancestral land is no more ours
Shame… No place to roam
Drums like thunder blowing wild in the wind
Unbury the War Hatchet
Spill blood for the Gods, it is time for revenge
Unleash the holy fury
Taken scalps, broken skulls, fight with fire and stone
Warpath of desperation
Massacres, ashes and dust, diseases, decadence
Alcohol… the strongest poison…
Now that the Buffalo has gone
The Great Spirit fades away
Now that the Buffalo has gone
There's nothing left to say
All are lost…
Now that the Buffalo has gone
The Great Spirit fades away
Now that the Buffalo has gone
There's nothing left to say
Although the Buffalo has gone
The sons of tribes still hope
Its reincarnation…
Hoka hey, hoka hey, hoka hey, hoka hey!!!

Hunt The Hunter
06:20

For this throne of blood, ruthless are your moves
Behind closed doors you lurk, plotting in the dark
Everything for money, everybody has a price
Anything for power, no big deal for another lie
You're a sneaky dealer, evil is your trade
Pretend some kind of healer, but I sense you are a killer
Bleeding Earth for riches, smelling blood like a shark
Architects of Chaos, vile shadows in the murk
Metastatic cancer is what you really are
It's time to come after you and hit you really hard
I'll tear you apart
Hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt the hunter
Hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt the hunter
Hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt the hunter
Hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt the hunter
Destroying rainforests and poisoning the seas
For once try to be honest, you had another choice
But you did nothing, except feeding your ego
Malicious you're laughing, push deeper the needle
Hopeless situation, really gone too far
People must wake up and take some action fast
Just do something at last
Stand, stand, stand, stand and fight
Stand, stand, stand, stand and fight
Stand, stand, stand, stand and fight
Stand, stand, stand, stand and fight
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
“Cowards die many times before their deaths.
The valiant never taste of death but once.”
The planet turns to desert, waters rising up
Cornfields are infected, it's the final lap
Power games in Wall St. bankers are unleashed
Blood and tears of people feed the greedy beast
Mercy or forgiveness, things you don't deserve
Into the fiery depths of Hell you gonna burn
Now face the blade and…
Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed and die
Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed and die
Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed and die
Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed and die

In Basements and Attics

“Σα βγεις στον πηγαιμό για την Ιθάκη
Να εύχεσαι να `ναι μακρύς ο δρόμος...”
(“As you set out for Ithaca
Hope that your journey is a long one...”)
Signs of our heroes in misty mirrors
Fade… into the silence
Mind creations, dreams, expectations
Hell… without redemption
Way… of being lost
Why… are we here for?
A child infiltrates, blessed to create
Worlds… of divine harmony
But you must become someone
When time waits for no one
Feel… some kind of shame
You have to grow and try
Bury the dream inside
Hide your spark in the dark
In basements and attics…
I got to be free… Oh, free…
I need to be free, yeah…
Free… Free… Free…
Free from the rules, free from the pain
Free from the past, free from this game
Free from you fools, free from sadness
The grains of time, free from this madness
Free from your screams, free from your cries
Free from your “pity”, free from your lies
Free from your “help”, free from your “care”
Your evil thoughts, free from your stare
“Τους Λαιστρυγόνας και τους Κύκλωπας
Τον άγριο Ποσειδώνα δε θα συναντήσεις
Αν δεν τους κουβανείς μες στην ψυχή σου
Αν η ψυχή σου δεν τους στήνει εμπρός σου... ”
(“Laestrygonians and Cyclops
The wild Poseidon you won't encounter them
Unless you bring them along inside your soul
Unless your soul sets them up in front of you...”)
Free from my ghosts, free from my fears
Free from my furies, free from my tears
Free from my chains, from my desires
Free from my dreams, from myself…
“Η Ιθάκη σ' έδωσε τ' ωραίο ταξίδι
Χωρίς αυτήν δε θα 'βγαινες στον δρόμο
Άλλα δεν έχει να σε δώσει πια
Κι αν πτωχική την βρεις, η Ιθάκη δε σε γέλασε...”
(“Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey
Without her you would not have set out
She has nothing left to give you now
And if you find her poor, Ithaca won't have fooled you...”)

THE SHADOWS OF ITHACA Greece
