Sweet Poison 03:19
A low dose makes it a drug, a higher dose makes it a poison. Who defines the limits? Science, studies? YES, WHO DEFINES THE LIMITS? Science was bought a long time ago by capitalism. All is tested under a corrupted belf of influences. The medicines we use, the food we eat. They prefer to call it "age diseases". It's almost impossible to prove the connection between The disease and what you eat. It isn't proven that some drugs Used in food will make you sick, But as strange as it can be, you're Unable to prove they are safe... Aspartame was only considered safe in bought studies. There is a lack of knowledge of what it does to the human body. Sometimes you need a lifetime to see the full effects and their downside. Besides that, all neurological diseases still have a lot to be studied. If a drug is approved to be used in the food industry, It means a group of people will earn a couple of millions. HEALTH/MONEY, BIG GAME! The industry wants it this way. Nothing will change, everything remains the same. The money is on their side, free diseases for everyone! MANY TYPES OF CANCER, Were found within studies. A lot could have been done. Still there's a lot that you can do Could drugs be the fuel for the creation of cancer cells? ON THE OTHER WAY, Green vegetables made the difference, slowing down their reproduction. It's not impossible to live in this world. Our answer is to go as natural as you can. EAT FRESH, BE HEALTHY! With a naive and uninformed public opinion, the truth lies between science and the pharmaceutical lobbies. An anbiguous issue we could say... Ahah, NOT IN THIS WORLD! About this song: Sweet Poison is about the bitter taste that the biotech industry left in our relatives and friends. We all lost part of our families and friends with this “modern” way of feeding. We can’t see cancer without a cause. Poisonous food, fast stressed lives, etc. Scientific studies are bought to “prove” that medicines and gmo’s are safe... not sure about that! As long as we keep ignoring the facts, more people will be killed. Bear in mind that there are alternative ways to feed yourself.

Our Aim 02:17
Walking a path that will take years to accomplish “results”. The commitment took us to a place that we call home. Building a brotherhood of unknown creative minds. Knowledge we so kindly accepted, questioned and developed. A network based on trust. A solid rock to carry on. A test of time passed, THIS IS OUR AIM. Scavengers of truth. Still believe our dreams. A test of time passed, THIS IS OUR AIM. Regrets we all have, it’s part of growing up. Trying, Reaching, Failing... back on our feet! Tomorrow, the sun will rise again. Sober, Awake, Compassionate... A different way of education. A modern war inside the system. Camuflados, Infiltrados, minando o sistema por dentro. YOU’RE IN! Release a rock between two cogs. Turn a screw loose, cut a wire... Prepare the failure! Our mission is to jam the engine. Become aware of what’s going on. We will fight with tremendous anger. We fear nothing... Nothing at all! WE WILL FIGHT WITH TREMENDOUS ANGER. WE FEAR NOTHING... NOTHING AT ALL! OUR IDEALS ARE SOLID AND TRUE. OUR IDEALS ARE SOLID AND TRUE! About this song: Although you will always see reality with different eyes, once you are inside the system, you’re part of it - you’re one of them. You’ll use your encrypted words to pass your message. You’ll play with the same weapons, but with different purposes. In a mission mode (life) you will be exposed to situations where you can make a difference. Be true to yourself. Dare to be righteous, unbreakable in your beliefs, lead by example. In a dark society where everything is so vain and futile, You can be the light.

God's Work 03:55
"Self-made-men" in a liberal market Buying and selling virtual assets. Vampires with golden teeth, Money sucking beasts... But well, just “doing god's work"! It all started with a promised land. A free passage to run business. After controlling the biggest economy, they had to go further. Working behind a shield, protected by governments. Bankers, traders, politicians - SECRET SOCIETIES OF PROFIT. Well, but it ain't that simple. The game of few, becomes the fall of many. It's not numbers or virtual money, But people's lives! Leaving banks without supervision turned into catastrophy. Nothing that wouldn't be expected. Greedy human beings thirsty for more. Epic episodes of the capitalist tales, Where me and you are actors without a script! The bad taste of the directors Lead us to a destroy\rebuild scheme, without questions Do you want to keep playing the role that was written for you? Do you want to carry on being part of this? ASK YOURSELF! See beyond force fed truths. GET INFORMED! Try to read between the lies. WALK YOUR TALK! Turn theory in to action. WE ALL NEED TO... Be wiser. About this song: If this is truly a “God’s Work”, we have to say that from flesh they made money and from blood they made debt. There’s no democracy! There’s a system based on virtual money,where you can create problems and at the same time you find the solutions. The value of money used to be indexed to the wealth of a country in gold, not anymore! Everything is virtual, based on finantial figures that represent nothing. People have to understand that the game has changed. Secret societies of bankers, lawyers and politicians, all positions of power and control. They are the 1 percent - while they play we keep “living” our lives. For how long will we accept this?

Foundation 05:08
A young boy, lost, searching for a leading role. A mentor, someone to lead him in the right direction. When you’re 10, you are still a naive child. Easily influenced by the ones around you. Setting your goals. The search for an identity. Mistakes were made, but they were a good way to learn. As a teenager, with lack of confidence, you just wanna fit in. Afraid of what’s next, a lot of directions were appealing. Some of his friends were starting bands, going to shows. Doing what they believed in. Getting involved, it just seemed right! You wake up. The light is shining outside. Every single day is a good day to start your own personal revolution. A quest for the answers, improving yourself as an individual. You keep your mind open and absorb the knowledge. That feeling grows every day and it starts being contagious. Those comrades will get along with you during this journey of a lifetime. This path gave us the foundations to guide us through the maze And we just took the opportunity. When you live in a place, where there is nothing to do. Either you start being creative or end up following the stream. This is the time - YOU’RE NOT ALONE You start to change - YOU’RE NOT ALONE Feeding your mind - YOU’RE NOT ALONE You’ll become stronger. Well, there was nothing to do. Those were the suburbs, where your parents go to sleep and you go watch TV. No positive inputs by the ones around you. Overwhelmed by apathy but I managed to break free. Well the thing is... After being exposed to a counterculture you will never see reality with the same eyes. There’s no turning back. There’s no turning back! Questioning the so called Truth, you don’t fit the moral majority. It’s what you are, you feel good in your own skin. What defines you as an intellectual being, able to think for yourself. Compassionate with all forms of life, setting a new standard. You didn’t quite manage to change the world but you were able to set the foundations to live in it. About this song: Foundation is about my own perspective of growing up inside the punk/hardcore scene. My father died when I was 10 and I’ve found myself lost, without guidance. Many roads I could have travelled, but some of them were quite dark... When I started going to punk/hardcore shows I’ve found a positive escape and soon I realized that I was not alone. We all came from different backgrounds and past scenarios. All we needed was a place to restart... The punk/hardcore scene became our second or first home. To meet inspirational people, to read challenging fanzines, to sing our aims, hopes and dreams. Growing in a creative and free thinking environment, through a DIY perspective, we found the weapons to develop ourselves. Looking back, I understand now how lucky and priviliged we were. It’s in our hands to use what we learned and to do things differently.
