ციტატა ვიკიპედიიდან:
Atheist is a technical death metal band from Florida, founded in 1984, whose music combined metal riffs with subtle latin music arrangements and jazz fusion. Their second album, Unquestionable Presence, released in 1991, has been regarded by some critics as one of the most influential technical death metal albums of all time.დარწმუნდით რა დონის ბენდთან გვაქვს საქმე.დეს მეტალის ერთერთი პიონერი,ბენდ

T R A C K L I S T
01. Piece Of Time
A blast of light is emerging, a soul prepared to learn
Its classroom, our earth, enlightment it yearns
Receiving the life and knowledge it deserves
A spectrum of warmth, a soul is life-preserved
Please don't think that when you die
You'll spend eternity up high
When what you really ought to know
Is just how far your life will go
Another notch in a cosmic climb
Reveal our sanity, reveal your plan divine
To grasp reality is to grasp your biggest fear, you see
Every circumstances is very meant to be
Is your life not the life that you want it to be?
Your soul is young, it lacks response to the things you see
Some must learn the hard way, but that's what they need
When all is learned in this life, your soul will proceed
Another notch in a cosmic climb
Reveal our sanity, reveal your plan divine
To grasp reality is to grasp your biggest fear, you see
Every circumstances is very meant to be
Piece of time
Piece of time
Here we stand at a hallway with nothing but open doors
Venture in your human existence awaits there for you
It's your piece of time
02. Unholy War
Enter this thought in your mind
We all were put here for mankind
To serve and obey a so-called lord
The price we must pay we can't afford
Evangelistic politics
No matter how much pain the might inflict
Now that this thought has set in
Wake up and realize this brutal sin
Unholy war
Thaught to pray for
Plaguing scandal
Unholy war
Religion pays in godly ways, education's not a factor
Sit there brainwashed, insecurity
Preaching life and immortality
Criminal in their ways
To reach eight million in just thirty days
Thrive on mindless human beings
An easy target, so it seems
Unholy war
Thaught to pray for
Plaguing scandal
Unholy war
03. Room With A View
Lie half-alive in my hospital bed
Or to some of you that may be half-dead
I.V. machines running to my veins
Man-made life restores my withered remains
A mirror of sorts appears before my being
My human end has come, that's all that I see
Now that my soul it set free
I'm classified dead now, it seems
My destiny plunders on through
I'm granted a room with a view
Nurses and interns gathering at my side
I try to yell at them, I haven't died
As I project, my soul emerges from fear
I soon remember all the reasons I'm here
How strange, I thought that I could see myself
A different light, sight, sound and smell
A different experience, a new world
Almost unhuman to me
See them cart me away
I venture to a new day
Human inhibitions are gone
Emotions are few
I'd pass up any life
For a room with a view
04. On The Slay
On they slay through clouds of death
No mercy or no fear
The sound of twisting flesh
Is the last thing you will hear
Take your final breath
You dying time is near
Fear clutching on the threshold of death
Spilling your remains' arrogance
Thinking of a way you will die
Rip through your flesh and through your bones, obey
See you lying limbless, you'll decay
Fall amongst the dead, on they slay
Eargerness to kill, the meager presence of their sight
You know your blood will spill, your end's tonight
Praying to be saved, now where's your god?
Infest your putrid mind
Death calls start tot unwind
Beware, for some day soon
They'll come to seal your doom
Fear clutching on the threshold of death
Spilling your remains' arrogance
Thinking of a way you will die
Rip through your flesh and through your bones, obey
See you lying limbless, you'll decay
Fall amongst the dead, on they slay
05. Beyond
Take a piece of life in hand, you know that life is yours
Indulgence, everlasting rage escaping through your pores
Day by day it grows so close, intensify the end
You know the day will come, we go beyond the end
What's in store, we fear no more, a blaze of ritual fire
Accept a form of life unknown by death, I am inspired
Hoping for a place of worship to pardon all my sins
This is where your life will end, beyond begins
Become at one with death it self and see where it will lead
Escaping from domestic, self-inflicted greed
Hoping for forgiveness, can you take the pain much more?
Soon your life will know just what's in store
Craving life beyond the end
To no avail, put down your blackened veil
Assuming that your life was pure
Immense disease for which there is no cure
06. I Deny
I deny your wretched lifestyle
Who am I to fool myself?
A distant cry of help from others
A child's brain, a world of greed
It's all around you, can't you see?
Are you blind to the like of me?
Politician, I see through your charade
Speaking all your brainless lies, you're all the same
Mister preacher, tell me what is right
Send the double figures, son, you'll see the light
Look into the distant future
will they have a tax on nature?
How much more will still remain?
They actually call themselves humane
I deny all you see
I don't have to belief
It's god's way, says your horrid wife
Embezzling, indulging
I believe your nose is growing
Extorting, not reporting
Your pockets are overflowing
Tell us one more thing
How much more holiness did you bring?
I see right through you
Soon they all will too
07. Why Bother?
Stop and look around at politics
No, nothing's changed, it still remains
The same old fear, the things we hear
I've heard enough, I won't adhere
Why bother voting
It won't do us any good
Octogenarian leaders
Telling us they would
I know that there's got to be a way
There's not that much that you or I can say
To make a dent in the land of the free
The darker side of life they never see
Election time is here, but do you care?
It's not our choice, we cannot voice
If they won't hear, the issue's clear
A more modern plan to run this land
08. Life
Numbness, see your fingers turn purple, would you rather burn?
Catching your breath, I'll let you choose your death
Cast your life of agony, I'll dump your body in the sea
I'll drown you while laughing, you know I will destroy you
If chainsaws are your fantasy, I'll cut your body into three
Slicing and grinding, you know that life's not binding
So strangulation is your game, you know I always please to maim
My service to you, to watch your face turn blue
I know your mind, it must be yielding,
I'll throw you off a real-tall building
You can't be found, you're splattered on the ground
I'll still your wrist and let you die, you know they'll call it suicide
Blood on the ceiling, I know how you are feeling
If you'd like to be cremated or maybe decapitated
Speak up now or I'll decide just how
Now you've waited way too long, I knew your mind was not that strong
you've list your chance, so I will choose your death
09. No Truth
I am my own self-ruler
I need not any ministry
I see our music scares you
Can't you see that...
There's no truth in modern religion, a god we do not praise
There's no truth in heaven or hell or what lies between
There's no truth in a man-made bible, so who are they to say?
There's no truth, we are our own god and that's the only way
People live their lives
By something never seen
Dreaming all their lives
Of a place they've never been
Why can't you see live a lie?
Humor yourself until you die
We're atheist as you can see
We all control our can see
There's no truth
T R A C K L I S T
01. Mother Man
Music by Atheist
Lyrics by Schaefer
You say there's freedom
Within our nature
Well I don't think you understand
Mother Earth has fallen to Mother Man
The Air, the Sea, the Grass, the Trees,
The nemesis is the major,
Fearless leader Mother Man.
Come on take a look
At what's become
Of the existence that leads
Or so we think
That's always a popular phrase
It suits the laws written
By dear Mother Man,
Those heavy hands.
What man creates man will surely destroy
The rule of thumb
In the mouths of little boys
Earth spins delight
We kill everything in sight
To serve the needs
And all purple skies will bleed
And a bird flies weak
Against polluted skies
Before it dies
And nature becomes illegal
According to rules
Made by fools
Sift through the information
Everlasting hesitation
To reveal all knowing vices
All the compomising prices
Untouched by the law binders
Setting standards to remind us
That the ink has dried
Behind the goal
We wish to achieve is gone
02. Unquestionable Presence
The fog rolls in thin here tonight
And all that is warm
Grows ice cold
All that are strong
Fill with fright
My ship has returned here tonight
Get away
Don't you touch my precious ship
Be thankful that you witnessed it at all
[Chorus]
'Cause you can never understand
My life in space
Our visits here
Have gone untraced for years
So easy to create
A shell like you
I must leave now and return
Our presence is unquestionable
We cannot be seen for this long
Now look at what you've done
Created such a stir
If only you had kept to yourself
You might have known for sure
Proof of life in outer space
Our mission is completed
Our voyage is ahead
Our data is collected
To manking it's fed
And deeper and deeper we fall
[Chorus]
03. Your Life's Retribution
Music by Atheist
Lyrics by Schaefer
Catered to undo
Mistakes you have made with you
The lessons catch up with you
As I lay awake in bed at night
The thoughts of life
Pass left and right
They appear on my sensory screen
Adding visuals like I've never seen
Mistakes in route are quite expected
My existing plan is well protected
I light the bulb that soothes my brain
For not to learn is not to gain
Tarnished, are the thoughts
That have been told
Wise man, give me nothing real to hold
The writings of the past
Are paper thin
If I seek the truth
I'll look within
Boundaries never hold
They just cater to feelings of self control
In time you'll break through
An abundance of knowledge
Is there for you
The rise and the fall,
Protruding action
The thrill of it all
My fortress when I pass
My retribution, my afterclass
Sunlight, Moonlight,
Can you feel the warmth
Of past lives
Naked stars that come out at night
To make an effervescent dent in my time
Realise, conceptualize,
Prepare yourself for life's Retribution
04. Enthralled In Essence
Music by Atheist
Lyrics by Schaefer
I've scaled over the walls of morality
Not quite sure what I'd find
There on the other side
Waiting in a common stance
Relieve me of my duty
As keeper of this body
Just leave me with my mind
And I assure you
I will be just fine
Tears stream from cheek
Of a man whose body his mind does not seek
A very gruelling rendition
Of a human soul's indecision
The qualities of a finer being
Locked well within this shell
Crying out to be released
To a body that serves as well
Malformed at birth
You see what it's worth
In a mirror I ask why
Such a shame, wanting to die
In a past lifetime
I feel I've had mine
Shared with no one
Excuse me I must go now !
Unhappy as he exits
Unhappy as he came
Enthralled in the Essence
The Essence of life to be
05. An Incarnation's Dream
Music by Atheist
Lyrics by Schaefer
It all seems so strange
The mutes the bums
The dogs with mange, the poor,
Doesn't anybody help themselves anymore
I guess not
Barefoot pregnant women
Little kids with snot on their face
A land of plenty, a dynasty of disgrace !
I'll manifest for you
Careening on the outer limits of reality
My mission to create a better galaxy
I must not fail them now,
I look inside to see that it's clear
Living life is just not enough
You must persevere
Please grab hold
Not to things that are bought
But to things that cannot be sold,
Then you'll see
You're released by trial and error
The world's prophecy is to learn
A candle lit from the bottom
Will soon start to burn
Don't dignify, a false spy in the sky
Re-route your path
With the blink of an eye
Walking around with a mind of your own
With a glance to the past
You can see we have grown
How much we have grown
It's been my dream
To enter the stream
To let carnates know
What life really means
If one understands
That's all I can ask
Life to you
is such a wretched task !
06. The Formative Years
Music by Atheist
Lyrics by Schaefer
In the short time
That I have spent here
In this ghastly plane
I've come to find
There are so many things
That should be changed
Like the relationship
Between the elder and the youth
It lights the fuse that leads
To all our problems
And that's the truth
Ambition, floods our hearts
In a world in which
We must succeed
If it's only in our eyes
Connoisseur of Opportunity
Release your stubborn nature
Don't electrify the seed
Rectify the need
We know you speak with them
Your close but very far
Communication is essential
Like the light to stars
No need to tell them no
No need to slap their hands
These are the formative years
You would not understand
[Repeat]
07. Brains
Music by Atheist
Lyrics by Schaefer
Talking to yourself
You say things
No one ever hears
Knowing yourself better
Than anyone ever could
Bet you never thought you would
Honesty prevails in thought
You just can't lie to yourself
A patch of lucrid decisions
A thought of fame and wealth
[Chorus]
A caravan or process if you will
A stream of conscious waves
A prostitute of ideas
A maze of tracing knowledge
First and foremost feed your head !
Retrieve all that flows with memory
Obtain all you know with sensories
Approaching every act with contemplation
Attacking every-vision with indecision
Conditioning is a routine of minds
Recruiting all the intellect it finds
Insecurity is merely your fear
Of maybe the outside hearing what you hear
Can't let 'em see,
Don't let 'em hear
Projecting like an airplane in flight
I dream of things
That just aren't quite right
A projecter shines on the back of my eyes
So my position of perception can rise
[Repeat chorus]
Insecurity is merely your fear
Of maybe the outside
Hearing what you hear
Don't let 'em see,
Can't let 'em hear
08. And The Psychic Saw
Music by Atheist
Lyrics by Schaefer
And so the Psychic Saw
Meaningful ends and the thrill of it all
To be an equal of infinity's divine
Searching the cosmos for erected confines
Bursting within the motherland
The excess soon will exceed demand
That I see
Man's existence is to form resistance
The timeless reluctance
The all forgotten purpose
Your spectacle of actions
Is the tell tale of my visions
Oh now I, see it clear
You wish to be relieved
Of all fear
Don't worry yourself
Prepare your senses
Until, the knowledge, commences
And so the Psychic Saw!
Visions!
The land and sea, Beauty!
And so the Psychic Saw meaningful ends
Become the meaning of it all
To set the stage
For the fears that will be
To pull the curtain
For the whole world to see
T R A C K L I S T
01. Green
Suddenly all turns to green!!
(whisper) And a forest cracks a smile
A seed conceals an important part
Of the way we see, the world is ought to be
Plants and trees, initiate the air we breathe
And give us more than they receive
Often times, rooting their stability
The way that they ought to be
But sometimes cut down!
In recent years, the peace upon the greenery
Has fallen to machinery
Tree sap tears, dried upon the slaughtered
Bark,
Yes man has really made his mark
It's plain to see, the land as it used to be
Is gone for eternity
The cypress cries loud!!
Beauty bears the colour green!!
02. Water
Like the arrival of the purest from of life
It sets its course to remain just that
If not for the blatant disregard for its purity
It would never uncover the anger
Stormlit, Aqua
The crest of the waves reveal a
Sign of friendship with the moon
Embracing each other with the
Tides and currents that flow, throughout
The spaces meant for it to be!
"Reaching, to hold onto, the liquid, rain"
The perspiration on a sweating soul tells
The body what is known
The the water reveals the human effort
It tends to exceed its own demand
By taking the world by the hand
Stormlit, Aqua
(Reaching to hold onto the liquid reain)
03. Samba Briza
[Instrumental]
04. Air
The air stirs up the galaxy!
Be!!!.........
The crosswinds of forever become me and place me on
The porch of the breeze
Without my sounds would be silent
No gullible gusts through the trees
Carrying seasons to bring us
The atmosphere we all can enjoy and we destroy
The blur on the horizon disturbs me
It casts a disguise on the sun
In the end it's the wind that will weaken
And the human goes from billions to none
The wind will regain all its motion
And clear the air for the following to...(breathe)
(spoken) The breeze of; a new creation
Moving clouds, from everywhere
Sensing a rainy stare
Smelling the moisture in the air
In the air.
The weather can be deemed as deceiving
To predict the unpredictability
The passion that it peels for the ocean
Air and water sharing laughter
A bond between two forces of nature
All to live and breathe
The breeze of a new creation
Breathe
The breeze of a new creation.
05. Displacement
[no lyrics]
06. Animal
Survival below the forest line
Becomes what can't be taken away
Trip through the vines of the food chain
He who doesn't stumble remains the
Dominant of the jungle
The leader of the wooded domain
A defence provides the needed acceptance
To camouflage themselves as animal!!!
Size seems not to matter here
To keep your territory clear
Through all will challenge you just the same
It's will and indistinct to remain the
Dominant of the jungle
The leader of the wooded domain
A defence provides the needed acceptance
To camouflage themselves as animal!!!
Separating weak from the strong
With no points in between
Crawling, walking, climbing, stalking
It's necessary for the predator.
07. Mineral
Leave us alone, we never harmed you
Leave us alone, we beg of you
How could you be, so unforgiving
Without it you see, you won't be living
To see the creator
Compiled of mineral & sea
If given a voice, we'd lash out at you
If given a choice, we'd educate you
A blossoms remorse, could never shine through
The need it attracts, when you're given
The choice of becoming what you need to be
A choice of cradling the creator of mineral and sea
The holding of the bones, of the treasured
Allows us to peel, somewhat insightful
Of course it should be with due respect
For after all, we are all mineral!
Leave us alone, we never harmed you (Leave us alone - [2X])
Leave us alone, we beg of you (Leave us alone - [2X])
How could you be, so unforgiving (Leave us alone - [2X])
Without it you see, you won't be living (Leave us alone - [2X])
To see the creator
Compiled of mineral and sea!
The choice of becoming what you need to be
The choice of cradling the creation
[spoken]
Of mineral and sea!
08. Fire
Feeling the heat that captures
The warmth that see the chance
Imagine the stonelit contortion
Sprawling itself at a glance (anger!!)
Shadows shaded yellow
Both shredded and tapered flames
Reaching at a constant level
Rising, rising, "Combustion"!!!
The blue light at the bottom
Surely sets the stage
For the radiant dancing
If the flares of the sun
Feel them burn!!!
The heat that you feel is friction
Creating a scar that sees
An everlasting reflection
An everlasting appeal (Pain!!!)
Shadows shaded yellow
Both shredded and tapered flames
Reaching at a constant level
Rising, rising, "Combustion"!!!
The blue light at the bottom
Surely sets the stage
For the radiant dancing
If the flares of the sun
Feel them burn!!!
09. Fractal Point
[no lyrics]
10. Earth
A bounded sphere of wisdom
Spinning to create the now
Upon it all will wonder who, what, where, and how
Liquid covers most of her features
Sunlight covers one site at a time
Breathes in to keep everything closer
So it's never far away from
"Earth"!!! That little planet on the hill
Turning out days to guide by
Each with its own display
Some with voltage spinning from the skytop
Some with light in a peaceful way
An appearance second to no other
Such a magnificent face
So broad and full of perspective
Known to everyone as...
"Earth"!!! That little planet on the hill
Seems Earth could last forever
But for us it's not the same
The neglect to protect the creation
Leaves us little chance to remain
All in all it seems to go around in circles
Like the path followed by the moon
Enhanced by the human evolution
The wisdom of the
"Earth"!!! That little planet on the hill
11. See You Again
[no lyrics]
12. Elements
I tip my hat to the creation
And its rewarding disposition
Formed by something
Lacking nothing here
Something so divine
A spectacle of "Elements"
Enjoying all the warmth of fire
Longing for the breeze of morning air
Douse myself with the purest water
Something so divine
The spectacle of Elements
As storms approach the mineral
Bringing the nutrients for the green
They feed the lakes of our mother Earth
Sharing forces for the living
Yes the caption seems to be complete
Our gratitude lacks sincerity
We filter our pollution through the selfish
Declaration of only our independence,
Not concerned about the Elements!
