"Ocean Zest" lyrics
Death to what's craving
In my cold blood
I've been taking
More of these drugs
As I found myself alive
Drenched in sweat and being all burnt down
(And once there's a voice in your head, you're alone)
I had given up on asking why
I lost control, now I won't turn around
And let this desire be dead and
Forgotten
But still I can't quieten these thoughts
I'm cowering down
Holding on to what I have been taught
An ocean of pain
An ocean of venom
That's what I'm heading for
A moment of joy
A moment of pleasure
Lead me into this war
The more I'm accepting my verdict
The more this day
Is just another door
I know
I know
Now I've been locked up for a while
Bound in chains, awaiting salvation
(And once there's a voice in your head, you're insane)
Oh how I wish that I just could die
Much too deep is my fault in relation
To settling down and suppressing the
Yearning
For swallowing pills to get numb
I'm thirsting
For a sip of it before I'm gone
An ocean of pain
An ocean of venom
That's what I'm heading for
A moment of joy
A moment of pleasure
Lead me into this war
The more I'm accepting my verdict
The more this day
Is just another door
I know
I know
I deserve it
Cause what I did
Is a crime in this unfaithful world
But are you the one to blame me
Just look inside your filthy brain
And prove you're not pervert
Speaking of crime as a basic human mistake
How do we define the people that got killed
By the consequences of modern economy
Such as overfelling, prostituition, pesticide pollution
And wars over natural resources
I think most people tend to comfort themselves by
Saying: Where wood is chopped, splinters must fall
But never even think of asking what's the reason
For lust and jealousy, the breeding grounds of every
Conflict in history
It's denial that leads us to betraying each other
You say this is justice
But in fact I'm a lonesome man
Despite my diseases
I'm a coward afraid of the end
You say I'm the villain
And I say I'm a beast just like you
We both need a scabbard
But mine's already rusted through
I used to live a steady life
I used to stagger several times
I used to live a steady life
I used to hate it all the time
We are the scars of the human race
We have to carry the burdens of the golden age
Of greed and oppression and frigid abstinence
That never stopped to command us in every case
Now see what you've done to your peaceful home
It is paved with crippled zest and overgrown
With the smelly weeds that you call scum
That rams its claws into everything that moves
And make it moan
Now punish us with pain, with fear, with loneliness
The more you try to give us the creeps, the less it hurts
We have infiltrated your delicious world
Unwittingly
Maybe it's wrong to blame a man
Just try to say when it all began
With seven billion people on earth
And no end in sight
An ocean of pain
An ocean of venom
That's what we're heading for
A moment of joy
A moment of pleasure
Lead us into this war
The more I'm accepting my verdict
The more this day
Is just another door
I know
I know
To hell
To damnation
Where I belong
I'll take you with me
In my cold blood
I've been taking
More of these drugs
As I found myself alive
Drenched in sweat and being all burnt down
(And once there's a voice in your head, you're alone)
I had given up on asking why
I lost control, now I won't turn around
And let this desire be dead and
Forgotten
But still I can't quieten these thoughts
I'm cowering down
Holding on to what I have been taught
An ocean of pain
An ocean of venom
That's what I'm heading for
A moment of joy
A moment of pleasure
Lead me into this war
The more I'm accepting my verdict
The more this day
Is just another door
I know
I know
Now I've been locked up for a while
Bound in chains, awaiting salvation
