К 1993 году Protector продолжают свою эволюцию, звуча более интенсивно и одновременно менее брутально, мельча ставшими изворотливыми ударными, продолжая совершенствовать скупые, но крайне лаконичные мелодии. Трэшовая динамика начинает постепенно брать вверх над отмороженной дэт-метальной молотилкой. Умение играть маневренней, изысканней сервировать нарезку из оголтелых спуртов ритм-секции и проникновенно-атмосферных передышек с участием вкрадчивого вокала и нежно баюкающих соло-партий, как ни странно, нисколько не повредили посылу, который эти немцы впервые решили вложить в свою музыку еще в далеком 1987 году. Начало ремонта и старт художественной отделки были предприняты на предыдущем альбоме, но тут операция по корректировке внешности проведена с истинно ювелирной точностью и почти не задела знакомые всем фанам черты лица. Даже наоборот: коллектив к последнему номерному альбому на наиболее простых участках трэка разгоняется до невиданных ранее скоростей и трамбует поверхность трассы «возмужавшим», плотным звуком, демонстрируя возросшую интенсивность риффопиления. Хотя в целом же команда не хочет признавать в своем творчестве «лирики» в лице запоминающихся, прилипчивых мотивов, несколько таковых все же нашли себе лазейку в тех местах, где коллектив налегает на медленный темп. Акцент местами как будто бы смещается с дэтовой мясорубки на умение неторопливо поиграть мышцами и пожонглировать умеренно навороченными риффами, чего ранее не наблюдалось. «The Heritage», возможно, получился сумбурнее своих более лаконичных предшественников, но художественная ценность этого материала тоже подросла. Такие альбомы, как ни старайся музыканты, вряд ли когда-нибудь станут общепризнанной гордостью тяжелой музыки, но тем, кто в теме, это не так уж и важно, верно? |

Mental Malaria
Dreadful pictures in your head
Through the dark you'll drive
Wake up fast before the dead
Machines rule your life
Dreams reflect experience
Running down this horror scene
Try to understand the sense
No one hears your fearful scream
Mental Malaria
Nightmares are a chronically
Recurring disease
Horror figures – Bad emotions
Buried in debrise
Repeat 1st verse!!!
Mental Malaria [2x]
Dreams reflect experience
Running down this horror scene
Try to understand the sense
No one hears your fearful scream
Sneaking when you're unprepared
Never try to dream again
Feel the things that make you scared
You'll survive when this dream ends
Mental Malaria [2x]
2. Scars Bleed Life Long
Believe what you feel
And not what you see
The will imprisons emotion
A face is a mask
It changes so fast
Distinguish hope and frustration
Scars
Bleed life long
Bleed forever
Behind our eyes
The pain in our soul
Is omnipresent
In good times of life
We often repress
One side is crying
The otherone is laughing
In chasms of mind
Is lurking our wrath
Scars
Bleed life long
In oblivion
They grow strong
Scars bleed life long
[Repeat 2nd verse]
Scars
Bleed life long
In oblivion
They grow strong
In mental rain
Rusts sorrow and pain
We try to survive
To stay alive
Scars
Bleed life long
3. The Heritage
In a time where grass is grey
Where trees can't clean the air
Toxic gas is what we breathe
No escape from this disease
Winds rising into shrieks
Noises piercing in the air
Glaring flashlight on the street
Hear the dying people blare
Clouds of dust
Run away and hide
What has happened
You're afraid inside
This inferno
Erases mankind
Those who died
Escape wars of mind
Starvation / Consolation
Those who said
Let's make war not peace
Lost their life
Falling on their knees
They die young
Leave this life behind
R.I.P.
Is what they'll find
Evisceration / Consolation
Your mouth so paralyzed with fear
You dare not to speak
Your eyes so blind and hypnotized
You cannot weep
The heritage – Of an golden age
Repeat 1st verse
Devastation / Consolation
Repeat 2nd verse
Starvation / Consolation
4. Lost Properties
Shadows move back to the ground
The sun begins to show
Lay to rest, when it is light
The day it makes them go
Gates of hell are open wide
Resists the savage dead
We are safe at least for now
Recuperate what's left
[Chorus:] Forgotten times before
Fighting an inner war
Living for the future
Today we'll pretend
Empty houses on the hill
Proprietors unknown
Without licence we move in
Take it as our home
In this sick society
Citizens get sick
Fight against reality
With every kind of trick
[Chorus:]
Burning down the walls
The rebellion force
All across the land
Fight in selfdefense
We will make the worse time better
We write down new laws
That help us living together
No one can ignore
You teach children harmony
And to use elbows
In this sick society
Only strong kids grow
[Chorus]
[Repeat 1st verse]
[Chorus]
5. Convicts On The Streets
Terror daily seen on the screen
Emotions lost – is it real or a dream
Neurosis drives the man insane
Sickness that we cannot blame
We are not entangled in
To think about it makes us no sin
Unknown victims that were killed
They don't need our full compassion
Hear screams out in the night
It must be another gun-fight
Been alone on the street again
On 5th Ave. there're standing 3 men
One man said: “How is your trip?”
From now on I am in their grip
It's too hard for me to say “No!”
So I said: “Come on! Let's go!”
Hear screams out in the night
It must be another gun-fight
Feeling like a ship on the stream
Sitting at home, what's happened on screen
On channel ‘3' is a fight with killer “T”
Who survives lives for 20 hours free
Convicts on the street
Convicts on the street
Convicts on the street
Convicts on the street
Shoot by driving is the game that they play
Later that day I remember I was far away
The criminal movements shown on TV
This sad affair means nothing to me
Terror daily
[Repeat 1st verse]
Hear screams out in the night
It must be another gun-fight
Shoot by driving...
6. Protective Unconsciousness
Manipulation in the world
Is everywhere we go
We're influenced by religion
Commercial and TV
Laws made by minorities
To rule the world of hate
Oppressing the majorities
And lead them into fate
Hear
The rich ones laugh
Feel
What you can grasp
Smell
This decadence
Scream
Unconsciousness
Stand up and be like me
Let us fight this unseen enemy
Don't forget it's for ourselves
In this world exists no grace
[Repeat]
7. Paralyzer
8. Chronology
Past is the written history
Times been good and bad
Future is unknown and surely
We won't run things so bad
[Chorus:]
We don't know
Where to go
But who cares
No one dares
Great characters come and go
Fame of today lives hundred years long
His name returns in grandpa's narration
He lives on his own creation
[Chorus]
Chronology...
Read the sign
Through the time
Art gets fine
Chronology...
Soon you'll be
Just like me
Never see...
Chronology...
Let's complete the ideas we have
Avoid the flow to consider success
Future is made by ourselves
Don't judge a try before it failed
[Chorus]
A valuable relic never dies
Forever it shines in our eyes
Things that occur in the past
Their place will forever last
[Chorus]
9. Palpitation
