Jihad Lyrics by Forward to Eden

A Human Artefact

0

I can still remember, as if it was just yesterday
When life felt so uncomplicated and light
And I still remember how I thought that this is it
That this is the way it is supposed to be and that it would never change…
Like waking up out of a dream
Waking up from what I thought was real and sincere
Life, taken, by the hands of death, so cold, ripped my chest in half
These hands, which I evoked myself are now assaulting me, while fear is suffocating me there is no light that I could see, only harsh reality
Then suddenly, like out of a dream
An angel appeared and showed me my way out from the dark
It burns, inside, burns right through the night, got struck by burning arrows of light - This life, which I threw away will never be the same, once lost cannot be regained, learned that I have to refrain, new strength is gained through abstention
Abstain from the demons that are trying to persuade
Reborn to fight the eternal struggle of this life
With the heart and the mind, with the hand and the tongue
The eternal struggle of this life...
With the heart and the mind, with the hand and the tongue
For the first is to purify, to be prepared, to internalize
To seek the evil within yourself, to hunt it down, bring it to an end
The second is to speak it out, to bring the truth to those in doubt
To partake and to proclaim, to cut away and to reclaim
The third is to go outside, take action and don’t step aside
To live the change every single day, to walk the path and pave the way
The fourth is to make it clear the utmost extreme, to inflict fear
A force only to be used when ascended, to answer violence, felonies and offense
Now you believe in violence, well I do too
But yours is against nature, while mine is against you…
Direct Action is the only weapon, that holds true
A sacred striving for liberation, burning out the root
