Sing in Silence
Music by Alberto Carballo, Chris Hayes & Emilio Martinez
Lyrics by Emilio Martinez

Intro solo: Alberto 

Seal your ears and guard thine tongues 
Suppress your passions or be labelled as scum 
By the sheeple of society mired in anxiety 
Secretly, silently, a witch hunt has now begun 

Have they become too fragile and frail 
To distinguish true terror from tale? 
Must all runes we recite 
Be misread as indictable ails? 

Shall we sing in silence 
At the peril of being detained? 
Shall we sing in silence? 
Would it still be seen as insane? 

How can mere words predate such terrors? 
Why must we suffer for others' errors? 
Shall we sing in silence and in shame? 
Are we to blame? 

Lay down your freedom to express 
To sing a song or speak in jest 
Lest ye be doomed to persecution 
At society's behest 

Out of civic paranoia 
They'll traduce and vilify you 
As a potential danger to mankind 
And so shall the troops be deployed 

Wretched proles 
Know your roles 
Damn your souls! 

Shall we sing in silence 
At the peril of being detained? 
Shall we sing in silence? 
Would it still be seen as insane? 

How can lyrics predate such terrors? 
Why must we suffer for others' errors? 
Shall we sing in silence and in shame 
Into our graves? 

Beware, for you could be taken away 
For naught more than mere wordplay 
Though misread in error, mistaken for terror 
Still the price is yours to pay 

Guitar solos: Alberto & Chris

Have they become too fragile and frail 
To distinguish true terror from tale? 
Our system fails, yet society regales 
As injustice prevails 

So shall we sing in silence 
At the peril of being detained? 
Shall we sing in silence? 
Would it still be seen as insane? 

How can mere words predate such terrors? 
Why must we suffer for others' errors? 
Shall we sing in silence and in shame 
Forever enslaved?
 

Nowhere to Hide
Music by Chris Hayes
Lyrics by Emilio Martinez & Chris Hayes

Intro solo: Chris

Wake up from this ignorance
To a world of insignificance
Where all we know is a lie

The dawn of comprehension
A newfound tension
A glimpse at our reflection seen through synthetic eyes

Signals are amplified constantly
Through all our modern technology
Such a clever disguise

Oh, brother! Are you watching, are you listening
To every aspect of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?
And have we nowhere to hide?

Cellphones and cyberspace
All collected and databased
Our secrets and mistakes are accessible
And there is no escape

So, to shit with our privacy
To hell with human intimacy
All the wealthiest bastards have purchased this power
To fuck our dignity

Oh, brother! Are you watching, are you listening
To every aspect of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?
And have we nowhere to hide from brother?

Always watching, always listening
For every detail of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes
And have we nowhere to hide?

Just how much further shall you take this disregard for our liberty?
Subjugation of the innocent while the guilty run free
And what of the constitution? Will it become obsolete?
And will the story end in revolution or defeat?

Solo: Alberto

We can only tell with time
If the threat is real or benign
Our future's uncertain, but maybe we've nothing to fear
It may all be fine if we only stay in line
...but can we ever be certain?

Piano: Federico Vindver (guest)
Solo: Emilio

Oh, brother! Are you watching, are you listening
To every aspect of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?
And have we nowhere to hide from brother?

Always watching, always listening
How could you possibly memorize
Every detail of our lives
Through your millions of ears and eyes?

Era of Distrust
Music by Chris Hayes
Lyrics by Emilio Martinez

I taste deception, betrayal of trust 
In those who once stood beside me, now choose to disgrace 
Promises cheapened by greed and lust 
And in a matter of moments, all my trust is misplaced 
Slap in the face 

Reality of humanity 
Mentalities I once thought inconceivable 
And confidence is irrelevant 
Line between good and evil's practically invisible 

Costly lesson in depth perception 
When choosing companions in this era of distrust 
This life tests me to second guess 
Before making decisions that are bound to end in disgust 

Just look at the world around you 
How could we possibly expect 
To tell the difference between friend and foe? 
How will we know? 

Have we all lost conscience of what's most important? 
Now I question the loyalty of those I adore 
With surrounding temptations such as fame and fortune 
Even your closest friends defend you no more, NO! 

Reality of humanity 
Display of what is clearly unforgivable 
And confidence is irrelevant 
Line between good and evil's practically invisible 

Costly lesson in depth perception 
When choosing companions in this era of distrust 
This life tests me to watch my step 
Before making decisions that are bound to end in disgust 

Where will I turn when my once strong social circle's 
Reduced to a desolate dot? 
Has all of my faith been for naught? 

Guitar solo: Chris

Shall we keep forsaking all our companions 
Leaving our ethics to rust? 
For we are the ones who've created 
This era of distrust 

Guitar solo: Alberto 
Keyboard solo: Mike 
Guitar solo: Chris

Reality of humanity 
Mentalities I once thought inconceivable 
And confidence is irrelevant 
Line between good and evil's practically invisible 

Costly lesson in depth perception 
When choosing companions in this era of distrust 
This life tests me to second guess 
Before making decisions that are bound to end in disgust 

Just look at the world around you 
How could we possibly expect 
To tell the difference between friend and foe? 
Maybe we'll never know
