The Vostok – Kato the mad scientist

Here’s the story of a sick man
Inner-struggle is crushing his soul 
His dead soul
Doctor Kato seems like he’s deaf and dumb
But look through his eyes, you’ll know he lies
They tell him « dumb-ass faggot you ought to stop being down
Get yourself a tongue, or give a smile
Give a smile »

Broken, he belongs to the wrecks you fear
Retreated in a lab like a fiend, for now

Out in the streets, the mad professor growls
His straitjacket on, he’s fled his four walls
Quiet and shy, Kato would always try 
To leave the dark, to let this all spark
The urge to control the clones is strong, no one
Would escape his world of science and evil

Broken, he belongs to the wrecks you fear
Retreated in a lab like a fiend, for now
Frozen are the heart and the soul
Asylum to keep ‘em under control

Broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, 
The fall 
The fall X7 


The Vostok - Kato the mad scientist

The Vostok – Creating the clones

Here is the one that Kato chose to breed
The strain of all, he will be 
Here is the one that Doctor chose to feed 
Once and for all, Hiroshi

Ten brothers are, clones spawned to fulfill
The pride of a scientist
No time to grow, entire life to feel
No pain at all, like a freak

Fighting, transforms senses 
Hatred with no genes of pain
Fighting, transforms senses, he knows
Hatred with no genes of pain

Lyrics: The Vostok - Iruka's slaves 

Feeling, feeling like I’m God
Breathing, breathing like I’m God
On my own, on my own X2 

Morning comes, lights the hall
I watch the show, they won’t grow old
I feel young as they are my blood and bones
Blood and bones

Treating, treating them like rats
Breeding, breeding, them in labs
For their own goood, this is good X2

Morning comes, lights the hall
I watch the show, they won’t grow old
I feel young as they are my blood and bones X2

Iruka's slaves are doomed to stare out over these snowfields
When the ice begins to thaw…
Iruka 's slaves belong to the frozen world, and in this white desert
They dwell //


The Vostok - Iruka's slaves

Getting all this bloody drudgery done
We pray for hell's sake
Pushing us into the revolt
We're made to break the gate 

Digging in the ice to extract oil
We fake to serve the base
No submissiveness 'cause our mental distress
Fuels our hate !!
Toilworn are our hands
When will be time to draw straws ?
When will be time to risk this great escape ? X2

Planning to free us the next morning
We'll crush these concrete walls
No slaves, no clones no chains anymore
Under 85th parallel

The Vostok - 85th Parallel

USSR 1994 the soviets strike a deal
In a secret, in a mischief
They send the clones to freeze
Running on control
Siblings, off they go

I’ve been away son, out in the gale to see them carrying  away
This heavy stuff, drilling into the icy ground till dawn  
Shut them away son, lost in the frost hell me how they escaped 
This freezing cold and never-ending polar misery 
Vostok base 1994, the Iruka scientists
Get their slaves to do the job
They’re four feet tall, who cares?
Running on control
Siblings, off they go

I’ve been away son, out in the gale to see them carrying  away
This heavy stuff, drilling into the icy ground till dawn  
Shut them away son, lost in the frost hell me how they escaped 
This freezing cold and never-ending polar misery

When the pain of a foreman
Becomes overwhelming then
I can see who is insane
In the downfall of my brains
I can feel the beast in me I can see who is insane.
