Atrocity – Hold Out (To The End)

[Music: Roderer/Klasen]

[Lyrics: Krull]

“You are here again

At this wicked place

Men look at you

They want to pay the price”

Somebody speaks to you

He wants to set you free

He wants to be your real friend

“It’s time for you to leave”

He is an addict, too

He needs the same help

Both have the same aim

To escape from this hell

After a few years

They want to come together

Make a withdrawal treatment

And encourage each other:

Hold out to the end

Resist …and live

After midnight you hear screams

Addicted bodies wnat their rations

Painful days, sleepless nights

Always greedy of more pills, of more pills

[Lead: Roderer]

Take care of your life

After one week without H

They’re thinkning it’s all over

Having new hope and courage

Time to leave their dirty flat, dirty flat!

One new man is born

One new girl is born

Death can wait for them

Now they wanna live!

Full of happiness

Both are careless

Going out of the flat

To walk down the streets

[Lead: Roderer]

She reads the newspaper of today

Another guy died by an overdose

But new victims are ready to die

Smiling faces of the big bosses

These rich, powerful, common men

Making business, dealing death

She is shocked by reality

He is going out with “old friends”

Late in the night

The girl is coming home

After closing the door

She looks to the ground

The boy is lying there

One paper in the hand:

“I couldn’t still resist

But you must go on:

Hold out to the end

Resist …and live!”

Hold out!
