Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Follow your common sense

...

You cannot hide yourself

Behind a fairy-tale forever and ever

Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose

The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever

...

Forever and ever

Indoctrinated minds so very often

...

Contain sick thoughts

And commit most of the evil they preach against

...

Don't try to convince me with messages from God

...

You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves

It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror

Behind the scenes opens reality

...

Eternal silence cries out for justice

Forgiveness is not for sale

Nor is the will to forget

...

Follow your common sense

...

You cannot hide yourself

...

Behind a fairy-tale forever and ever

Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose

The soul of this sick bulwark

Forever and ever

Virginity has been stolen at very young ages

And the extinguisher loses it's immunity

Morbid abuse of power in the garden of Eden

Where the apple gets a youthful face

Eternal silence cries out for justice

Forgiveness is not for sale

Nor is the will to forget

...

Follow your common sense

...

You cannot hide yourself

...

Behind a fairy-tale forever and ever

Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose

The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever

Forever and ever

Eternal silence cries out for justice

Forgiveness is not for sale

Nor is the will to forget

...

You can't go on hiding yourself

...

Behind old fashioned fairy-tales

...

And keep washing your hands in innocence

...
