TRUTH CRUSHED TO THE EARTH SHALL RISE AGAIN
(Music & Lyrics V. Ghent)
Pravda podavlynaya k zemlee vostaneet opyatsh
Twenty million people died in Stalin's great terror
Sideways up and upside down
let me tell you a story 'bout what was found
floating in a river in Siberia
you're not gonna believe this so just hang tough you see
Stalin's people purged the masses
but not like Hitler they didn't use gasses
they buried bodies in a riverbank many years ago
so many years it was a long enough time
to pretend to forget and close your mind
but when the heavy rains came, showed the shame
and reclaimed the soil that covered those souls
the ground was frozen for so long
you could still see the clothes that the people had on
the day they were collected, herded like sheep,
shot in the head and piled in a heap
there they were for the world to see as they tumbled from their misery
alive and kicking to the end
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
about those bodies don't be surprised
when they were found with open eyes
workers caught the corpses and sank them down
at the river station one thousand people
only a fragment of twenty million more felled by evil
the Cheka, secret police (NKVD NKVD)
the executions, fake trials,
and those sent to the labor camps in exile
were alive and kicking to the end
but truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
Truth crushed to the earth (byelostomuy)
crushed to the earth shall rise again (Stalinsky)
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again rise again
how many times will we be forgiven
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
there are no crimes in history more terrible
there are no crimes in history more terrible
Trotsky was one of millions killed as Stalin purged party
and people of opposition to his rule
"Stalin's trial against me is built upon false confession,
extorted by modern pugatorial methods"
don't have to be loud to be strong
don't have to be right to be wrong (Stalinsky)
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
there are no crimes in history more terrible
there are no crimes in history more terrible
Thousands of bodies of people killed in the great terror have been discovered in a mass grave outside the town...twenty thousand people died in Stalin's great terror...Forty million people were repressed - about half of these were executed...I just fell down on my knees - byelostomuy
So if you're daring to be different where the safe survive
just remember most important is to stay alive
we've got plenty of martyrs, plenty of saints
the best thing you can do is educate
you know it's more than watch your back jack all the time
because there's never no rest for the urban survivalist
adapt or die is the law of the street
that's where you'll find common ground with your enemy
is it really any different from the stone age life
when we fight before we reason 'cuz there's no insight
alive and kicking to the end
truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
we don't need another Stalin
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again
at the rate that we are goin'
Pravda podavlynaya k zemlee vostaneet opyatsh
Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again

SURVIVE
Music and Lyrics by Valerie Ghent
Another day
with no expectations
and you find it don't make
much of a difference if you love or hate you know
I don't believe that fate
determines the hereafter
I won't sit and wait
'cuz when you hold on to the dock
the waves crash anyway
I, I want to live more than survive
It's getting late
the rising sea of ignorance calls
too many flames
are clutching and grabbing and learning to hate now
the crucial key
trust in your own instincts
don't believe all you read
but take a good long look
at who profits from the greed
I, I want to live more than survive
there's more to life than struggle
I, I want to live more than survive
I'm gonna live more than survive
I got to know that I'm alive
I'm gonna live more than survive
There's got to be more to life than the struggle
Another day with no expectations
and you find it don't make
much of a difference if you love or hate you know
the crucial key
trust in your own instincts
don't believe all you read
but take a good long look
at who profits from the greed
I, I want to live more than survive
there's more to life than struggle
I, I want to live more than survive
I'm gonna live more than survive
I got to know that I'm alive yeah
I'm gonna live more than survive
There's got to be more to life than the struggle
Yea I wanna live more than survive
Survive yea…………

Justice
music & lyrics by Valerie Ghent
In the times of Ancient Greece
the Fates and Furies avenged the wrong
while the goddesses Justice, Order and Peace
labored long
these sisters three left by the wayside
our Lady Liberty
is all but forgotton the river smells rotton
and no one holds the key to
Justice
Justice
only the few can buy justice
it's getting harder
to prove that evil succumbs to good
it seems that every day
another famous crime is only celebrated
in politricks, lies and holy statements
watch the headlines whip
us into thinking without ever blinking
that no one holds the key to
Justice
Justice
only the few can buy justice
oh is it just enough
I call your bluff
the hole of greed burns every pocket
no more Plato's ideal
when the seven sins have such appeal
in time in time
hold the scales high
the sword will prove the lie
I dare you to deny
Justice
Justice
only the few can buy justice
as a sign of decency
let's give credit where credit's due:
be ever mindful
of what your local kingmaker says to you
wooed by slow advance a carrot on a string
you might think she's taken in
but don't be mistaken cuz she won't be taken
this lady's not a fool
Justice
Justice
only the few can buy justice
Justice
Justice
if it were you would you buy justice
