Tabazan Lyrics & Meanings: I've tried to understand the ways of men they taught me / They've lost their values as we define a wealth / Semen and blood is all i've got, investments of a future / I'm searching for a new gold yes i'm searching for a new gold / / A voice is calling / Move closer to you - yeah / / Virile young men run down the street in havoc singing /

Darkness Before Dawn Lyrics & Meanings: The lore of elders passes judgement on this waste / And finding me or them does lack accepting fate / And as the moments pass another face arrives / We watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds / / Forbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love / Of lands untouched and ways to come always maybe / But choking on promises meant for the deal / Thinking again the darkest hour before the dawn / / Confirming fears that from the dawn of time have been / Retracing footsteps in dark chambers of grey lands / And through the madness through the terror we must pass / As if awaiting sunlight that may never come / / In time we face ourselves with all our faults and fears / Now that i know the final conflict is within / I recognise the faces of my friends and hear the call /
