lyrics

A desert of destruction
between pale lights.
I only see shadows
without any light.
They’re moving like the zombies
in life after death.
They fall down to the sand
with the colour of a bloody red.

As I had crossed the desert
I begin to understand
that there was a flowerful
green land in the past - and
there was a politician
with red button in his hand
gone crazy with his power -
pressed it and brought the death.

I can’t believe that this is real
and look around me
I am the last existence of all human beings!

I run over cadavers
I run through empty streets
I crossed a bloody desert
Searching for rest in peace
This is now the last day.
The last hope has been hoped
There is no time to change this
The last thing is to say goodbye!

I think back on times with children
as they had played their games.
To run after the money was
people’s only basic thing.
They forgot to control
their politicians work.
Now they must think no more
Now they are only coal!

Whole album is a good balance of slower songs and faster tracks which dominate. Really like "What is wrong" due to it's straight punch line and the awesome instruments arranged along. Thomas.P

The Other Man - A Front 242 Tribute
by Leaether Strip

supported by 5 fans who also own “Goodbye”

While these are good remixes, they are ironically stripped down to usual EBM trappings. It lacks a LOT of wild experimentation with arrangements, bombastic use of high dynamic range capabilities and Mariana trench's deep use of sequencers which made Front 242 a Sistine Chapel of the genre. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable EBM Fix ►For You◀ I do appreciate visceral energy on certain songs which added another layer to the originals. Now i wait for FLA's Caustic Grip/TNI tribute like a guard dog. Symbolic ‡ Tentacles
