One Of Us 07:02
You, you've conquered the throne so fast Common man, one of us You, you've promised to do your best The only one we would trust "All the other ones just don't care, They are the thieves!" - you said One mistake led us to nightmare The nightmare that can not end There could be a good place to live but the quiet despair prevails There could be a promising country but its pale shadow remains There could be colorful daytimes but instead they're grey Days go by and nobody noticed how the nation faded away You got rid of unwanted brand - Language, emblem and flag And the further you moved ahead, The further we went back Freedom under the loaded gun Hopes have turned into sand While your palace reached the sun We reached the dead end There could be a good place to live but the quiet despair prevails There could be a promising country but its pale shadow remains There could be colorful daytimes but instead they're grey Days go by and nobody noticed how the nation faded away There could be a good place to die, but die like a real man There could be a chance to live freely, not by somebody's plan There could be fear that we’ve never imagined as real How could it be if those who have to protect, are coming to kill?

What's gone wrong? The town's arrested now Every walk on Sunday is like an act of war Who knew with whom the boys learn to fight? Fake patriotism behind the closed door Flash grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets They were used against the real enemy Finally people know where their taxes go As they can not be attacked or killed for free Balaclavas hide their faces but not their empty eyes Used to stand up for the nation but were sold to the legalized lies Real courage is when many rednecks batter one man As the reward's given only for the executed plan There could cry that girl you loved 10 years ago There could stand your first grade teacher in the crowd But your memory is erased and your mind is locked As you kick next body lying on the ground Superiority is such an amazing thing Young half-dead man's life depends on your blow And you're surely doing what you vowed to do - Acting faithfully only within the law Balaclavas hide their faces but not their empty eyes Used to stand up for the nation but were sold to the legalized lies Real courage is when many rednecks batter one man As the reward's given only for the executed plan The right discharge of the duty is line up and take a stand Legs and fists and the batons, that's the key to defend the land Confidence in the future and not being in black list This is how human being slowly turns into beast Someone said: "It's kinda mayhem of the doomed When you use power just instead of (your) brain" Your sadistic nature's taking over you As the order's given to inflict the pain Service is a fiction to kill legally Number of the feats is growing day by day Reason for your kid to be proud of his dad "Father, when I grow up, I'll follow your way!"

Yesterdays' place of which you haven't heard Today's synonym for bitter absurd Nation's divided into man and beast Loaded gun against unclenched fist Prisons are full of the innocents Convicted with having no second chance Those who are free - they're not really free Just on their own trapped in reality National genocide (anyone can be next) Colored in red and white (now you're unwanted guest) Guilty for being right (it is your conscience test) Bastards of system judge the best ones Wagging their tails before the worst ones How do you sleep on your beautiful bedsheets Soaked in a gore and tears of those who walked the streets? Armed ones with only the will to live Trying to get back what they had to give The Road is so long though (the) goal's crystal clear One by one they'll overcome the fear No matter how hard the cowards try The Banner of honor's still rising high But nobody knows how much blood will spill SInce (the) signal is given to massive kill

Yesterday 04:31
It should have been happy end of the national intolerance Conscious majority made their decision and they took the chance Doctors and miners and students and players they all rose as one Suddenly thousands of lives turned to be the targets under the gun No matter who you are, your status and ranks Dogs of false justice they run your trails Even your home is a fortress no more They have the key that opens any door Yesterday - relatively safe, today - just one second and you're gone away Yesterday you had your respect, today you will find yourself in (a) prison bed Yesterday you had something to hope, today you're alone with stool, soap and roap If you will not use them today, don't be surprised tomorrow... (you'll be gone anyway) Three days of blood have divided it all into then and now Better life searching became just a try to survive somehow Taken and beaten with power and fury and they can not force Suddenly thousands of people were turned to corrupt 'junkies' and 'whores' Yesterday - relatively safe, today - just one second and you're gone away Yesterday you had your respect, today you will find yourself in (a) prison bed Yesterday you had something to hope, today you're alone with stool, soap and roap If you will not use them today, don't be surprised tomorrow... (you'll be gone anyway)

Forbidden is the previous life's symbol Every black sheep is going to be fined Just appeared but doomed to be crumbled And hope is something that's so hard to find... Development is just an empty sound Tractors drive slowly along the street Corrupted songs playing on the background Of stability with nothing to eat In the strict regime country everyone's serving his time One until his escape, another 'til his day to die In the strict regime movie everyone's playing his role To amuse the lunatic viewer with no soul Forbidden is to tell the real truth One wrong thinking is considered a crime In just one day you can lose your youth As the grey hair is just a matter of time When you're taken to a paddy wagon Abused and kicked and feeling so small Passing out while the policeman dragon Batoning up your ass and soul In the strict regime country no one can voice discontent If you don't understand well, your tooth will turn into dent For the strict regime movie no one will get piece of fame As the fucked up director will frame each name In the strict regime country everyone's still serving his time One escaped to nowhere, another is gone to die For the strict regime movie no one got piece of fame As the fucked up dictator framed my, framed your, framed our names.

about

"...This album is dedicated to the people of Belarus who suffered or still suffer (and probably will suffer) from the regime of the self-proclaimed president who has been leading the country to hell since 1994. The lyrical concept is mainly based on the events that happened in Belarus in 2020 after another false elections."
