In Your Face

Can never think myself
Though individual
Can never ask myself
It's not original
Be cold
Stone cold
Can never be myself
Too unpredictable
Can never know myself
So unforgivable
Be cold
Stone cold
Gonna throw it in your face
Gonna scream all over the place
Now that things are not well understood
No shelter in my neighbourhood
Gonna throw it in your face
In your face
Always wanted to be a part
Not reconcilable
Always wanted to be good
Too unbelievable
Be cold
Stone cold
Always tried right from the start
It's unequivocal
Always failed where others stood
So unforgettable
Be cold
Stone cold
Gonna throw it in your face
Gonna scream all over the place
Now that things are not well understood
No shelter in my neighbourhood
Gonna throw it in your face
In your face
Something kept me going strong
The pleasure principle
Something virtuous, always wrong
Habitual criminal
Be cold
Stone cold
Something's nagging in my head
Psycho analytical
Something tells me it's them instead
I'm indestructible
Be cold
Stone cold
Gonna throw it in your face
Gonna scream all over the place
Now that things are not well understood
No shelter in my neighbourhood
Gonna throw it in your face
In your face
Can never be myself
Too unpredictable
Can never know myself
So unforgivable

I watched you die
06:06
|
|||
|
Slowly shed my skin
and I feel hungry
for a desecrating fury
leading man across the waters
of an everlasting vow
You will not fail
You will not bend
You will prevail
or I will mend
You will not fail
You will not bend
You will prevail
or I will fire
or I will fire
or I will tear your flesh
or I will fire
I watched you die
Kneel before your master
Your existence's insignificantly small
and at the end I will condemn you
for my narcissistic urge

No More

Expression of reason it's still in this world
Worth giving it up because it's all so absurd
It's growing on me, it's growing on you
It's not what you see, it's what you can do
It's growing on me, it's growing on you
It's not what you see, one million will do
'cause this life is just a fraction
But now it's no more
Think you saw a revelation
But now it's no more
Remission of pain it's all set in your mind
Life gets so insane, you're one of a kind
Believe that things will change, hard promises made
While all you cared for is set ablaze
It's growing on me, it's growing on you
It's not what you see, it's what you can do
It's growing on me, it's growing on you
It's no what you see, one million will do
'cause this life is just a fraction
But now it's no more
Think you saw a revelation
But now it's no more
In the light of temptation
But now it's no more
It's growing on me, it's growing on you
It's not what you see, it's what you can do
It's growing on me, it's growing on you
It's no what you see, one million will do
'cause this life is just a fraction
But now it's no more
Think you saw a revelation
But now it's no more

Executioner
05:13
|

Come, do as you please
Consequences never to be had
It's just business, you see
But I'm sure you understand
Debts are to be paid
It may be trivial to you now
Once the sentence's made
The executioner will be coming for us all
Aggression, the game is set
Keep on raving until you're dead
Aggression, last words said
The axe is falling, it's falling on you head
Do as you're told
It's always something of a bore
Your blood runs cold
You've always said you'd wish for more
It gets kind of frightening
You didn't hear the final call
A bolt of lightning
The executioner will be coming for us all
Aggression, the game is set
Keep on raving until you're dead
Aggression, last words said
The axe is falling on you head
Aggression, the game is on
Let's party until you're gone
Aggression, it's what you get
The axe is falling, it's falling on your head
Come, do as you wish
Why put up a face that is so sad
Comes an end to lavish
But I'm sure you understand
Prayers don't mean salvation
The sound that hammers through a wall
Waking up from illusion
The executioner will be coming for us all
Aggression, the game is set
Keep on raving until you're dead
Aggression, last words said
The axe is falling on you head
Aggression, the game is on
Let's party until you're gone
Aggression, it's what you get
The axe is falling, it's falling on your head

Failure's not an Option
04:39
|

|
Battle cries over wasted fields
Choice of blood, what anger feeds
Think surrender, your forehead bleeds
It just reminds us on what it feeds
Determination
We've got the world to know
Failure's not an option
It's too late to go
Annihilation
We've got the world to burn
Failure's not an option
It's too late to learn
Deafening sighs over a silent corpse
Inventing something that almost works
The end is coming but there's no fear
Socially blinded and nowhere near
Determination
We've got the world to know
Failure's not an option
It's too late to go
Annihilation
We've got the world to burn
Failure's not an option
It's too late to learn

It's too late

Running down an endless road
The future doesn't look so good
Striking for a better world
It isn't all well understood
It doesn't matter now
There isn't anyone who'll help us
Realise that the end is nigh
There isn't anything that can save us
Hiding in your cyberworld
of fashion shows and videos
It's too late
It's too late
Situation in dire need
No-one's looking at the cause
The illusion that a finite Earth
will always suffer our growing breed
It doesn't matter now
There isn't anyone who'll help us
Realise that the end is nigh
There isn't anything that can save us
Hiding in your cyberworld
of fashion shows and videos
It's too late
It's too late
There are too many of us
It's too late!

Timeless Body
03:52

Dead-born living
and seriously lost
Forget giving
Keep all you've got
Timeless body
Don't leave me now
Timeless body
It works somehow
Look at you now
Your reason's gone
You're oh so pretty
You're oh so gritty
You're oh so pretty
You're oh so gritty
Timeless body
Don't leave me now
Timeless body
It works somehow
Is it gonna crash down
Is it gonna blow up
Is it gonna fly like an overweight back-drop
Is it gonna crash down
Is it gonna blow up
Is it gonna fly like an overweight back-drop
Here in this land
where all ice has gone
Grab all you can
We're just having fun
Timeless body
Don't leave me now
Timeless body
It works somehow
Look at you now
Your reason's gone
You're oh so pretty
You're oh so gritty
You're oh so pretty
You're oh so gritty
Timeless body
Don't leave me now
Timeless body
It works somehow
Is it gonna crash down
Is it gonna blow up
Is it gonna fly like an overweight back-drop
Is it gonna crash down
Is it gonna blow up
Is it gonna fly like an overweight back-drop
Timeless body
Don't leave me now
Timeless body
It works somehow
Timeless body
Look at you now

Bent double
like beggars under sacks
Knock-kneed
we turned our backs
Our distant rest
began to trudge
All lame and blind
Shells dropping behind
Dulce et decorum
and we marched right into the deep
est Pro Patria mori
and we marched all sound asleep
Gas! Gas!
Helmets just in time
Someone yelling
in fire or lime
The thick green light
saw him drowning
Helpless sight
choking, drowning!
Dulce et decorum
and we marched right into the deep
est Pro Patria mori
and we marched all sound asleep
You too could pace
where we flung him in
White eyes in his face
sick of sin
Hear the blood
from corrupted lungs
Bitter as cud
for the old lie:
Dulce et decorum
and we marched right into the deep
est Pro Patria mori
and we marched all sound asleep

Dignity, your dignity, you'll not give it up
Liberty, your liberty, you'll not give it up
Dignity, your dignity, you'll not give it up
Liberty, your liberty, you'll not give it up
Not property, you're not property
Not property, you're not property
Not property, you're not property
Not property, you're not property
Tear it off!

The black city's calling
Don't know how to get in
My head spinning and stalling
I'm staring at the ceiling
Looking back at a painful past
It's there and you see it
Shaken up but it's changing fast
You're getting stronger and you feel it
Do it! Do it!
Stand up while you're living
Get it, get it...
in your head!
The insignificance of time
Fall back upon what you know
Seems right, but there's something
There's knocking on the door below
Remember all you've been loving
Thinking that you're really great
See your face in the mirror
Realise that it's all too late
Now you see things clearer
Do it! Do it!
Stand up while you're living
Get it, get it...
in your head!
The insignificance of time

Death of a Friend
06:21
|
|||
|
Once there was a hill where we went dancing for a while
Enchanted by the distance of the suffering that was mine
The days that seemed so short but it was always going to last
How was I to know that it would once be part of the past
With the death of a friend
We were dancing in the knowledge that good time was on our side
The world that couldn't touch us yet it was not going to abide
You stood so tall and firm yet you were crumbling under my feet
Foundations of existence that would yield to other need
With the death of a friend
One day I came to visit, handn't seen you for a while
I'd brought some lovely flowers and I wore a genuine smile
The winding road was long and I felt anxiously somehow
And there you lay all crushed yet no-one cared about our vow
With the death of a friend

Pro Patria Canossa, Italy
Belgian origin Pro Patria was founded in 1988 by Peter V. (aka PVC). After achieving some success in the nineties, their first CD "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" remained unpublished after the bankruptcy of their record label and the band disappeared for 15 years. In 2017 they returned, however, and have since then produced 5 full albums. ... more
