Fifth Dominion
Pain, Rage & Laughter
1. Tormented by Irritating Giggles
instrumental
2. Vicious Circle
Hereditary, no hope of breaking the mould
Poverty, to which your life is sold
Segregation, no social acceptance
Salvation, begging for your existence
Circled viciously,
In a world of corruption and depression
Poverty hereditary,
Doomed by society
Trapped, in your way of life
Suffering, the bare necessities of life
Aghast, only seen as a public nuisance
Cry for help, no one gives assistance
No one cares,
If you live or die
Their sympathy,
Is nothing but a lie
Pinned down from generations, misery and despair
Public opinion shows that people do not care
Totalitarianism, rules the world of today,
Not enough good samaritans to help those who are dying
3. Flagrante Delicto
Hidden crime no-one could explain
Only the doer knew who to blame
Fighting a pain he couldn't face
Using the court as his hiding place
Convicting people without any thought
Revenging the pain with which he fought
Justice with him never to prevail,
Innocent people were sent to jail
But, finally, guilt overcame,
No more victims could be maimed
So he decided to give himself trial
His own guilt he would file
The trial began and ended in fury
No decision without a jury,
He knew there was nowhere to run
So he passed sentence with his gun
4. Vow of Silence
instrumental
5. Premature Existence
Reflecting on my past life
With a tear in my eye
I had the right to live
But I had to die
A few weeks spent in the womb
I did exist, but it wasn't to be
Now I won't be missed
As I die I scream in pain
But my shouts are all in vain
She has murdered my human seed
My own mother, killed me
Terminated by a needle
When only a few weeks old,
Not seen as a living being
No life for me to hold
OK she had the right to choose
But was that really fair?
If I had wanted to live
She would not care
As I die I scream in pain
But my shouts are all in vain
She has murdered my human seed
My own mother, killed me
She doesn't know,
If I had feelings before
She didn't wait to find out
To like or to abhor
Her answer was death
For poor little me
She thought I had to die
With that I disagree
Good-bye!
6. Refusal to Mourn
The multiplying villainies on nature
The diversities of the world,
Have finally seen their end,
As their destruction has unfurled
The dischord that was always raging
And the man who preyed upon man
Have finally gotten what they deserve
And there will be no reprieve
It seems again it is time to learn
In this untiring crumbling place of growth
For which time I remain,
To learn about the spiritual truth
To suffer the monotony of timelessness
The experience of immortality,
But still rejoicefull of the day of doom
Which has brought an end to human mortality
Eternal unrest for the human soul
For the harmony it has disrupted
Mankind has denudated life,
Leaving it barren and corrupted
Look beyond the blindness of reality
Experience death and you shall see
That there is a God of which we don't understand
Yet we don't have the right to question His command
Is there a meaning of life for a life so meaningless?
Is there a meaning of existence in a meaningless world?
Is life really a fantasy?
Is it a dream or is it ha ha reality?
One questions the afterlife,
Not knowing what is waiting for us when we are faced with it
We are all destined to meet our Maker,
But only some will return to our place of heritage
My misanthropy has no remorse
And forever it shall scorn
Now that humanity is dead
I refuse to mourn...
