The story that I'm telling you
Something that you can do
Ask yourself and try to find the answer
See the signs they're always there
But you know you never care
You're always looking for another reason
Try to reach it's not too far
See it as you really are
Ask yourself, to try and find the answer
Always, always it's the same thing
Try it, try it, you just can't win
Circles, circles spinning round
People, people always bring you
Down and down
Round and round, down and down
Round and round, down and down
Round and round, down and down you go
Round and round, down and down
Round and round, down and down
Round and round, down and down you go
Down and down, down and down
Down and down, down and down
Down and down, down and down you go
Down and down, down and down
Down and down, down and down
You are a paradox to me, a senseless maze
I run around, I'm looking for you all of my days
The more that you want it, the more that you need it
The less that it does
Run out it's rough, too much is enough
And that's what it was
I cannot bear to share you, we can't be alone
You make me drift up and float, and fall like a stone
The more that I see you, the more that I miss you
The less that I care
I know I should try to kiss you goodbye, but
You're never there
I've got a nickname for you, I call you weakness
I get a little strength out too, or is it meekness
The more that you want it, the more that you need it
The less that it does
Run out it's rough, too much is enough
And that's what it was
You are a paradox to me, a contradiction
I'm on fire, burning with the question in my mind
Strange desire, seems there's nothing else for me to find.
'Cause I've been here, and I've been there,
Seems like I've been everywhere before
I've seen it all a hundred times,
Still I think there surely must be more.
I've been livin', I had to take my time and change my style
Now I wonder is something gonna make it all worthwhile
I know there's more than meets the eye, I'd like to see it
'fore I die for sure
Something tells me it's all right, only one step closer
To the door
There ain't no feelin', feels the same as findin' out the key.
Now I'm reelin', thinking of the things that I might see
I'm not afraid to face the light, I'm not afraid to think
that I might fall
I was going nowhere fast, I was needing something
You are a paradox to me, a senseless maze
I run around, I'm looking for you all of my days
The more that you want it, the more that you need it
The less that it does
Run out it's rough, too much is enough
And that's what it was
I cannot bear to share you, we can't be alone
You make me drift up and float, and fall like a stone
The more that I see you, the more that I miss you
The less that I care
I know I should try to kiss you goodbye, but
You're never there
I've got a nickname for you, I call you weakness
I get a little strength out too, or is it meekness
The more that you want it, the more that you need it
The less that it does
Run out it's rough, too much is enough
And that's what it was
You are a paradox to me, a contradiction
YOU'RE TOO MUCH AND YET I CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH
THAT'S ONE PARADOX I COULD LIVE WITH
LOVE OF MY LIFE AND YET NOT REALLY MY TYPE
THAT'S ONE SWEET ??? I COULD LIVE WITH
WHEN MY MIND IS SPINNING AROUND
YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE TO CALM ME DOWN
LIKE AN AUTUMN LEAVE THAT FINALLY TOUCHES DOWN
WHEN MY FEVER'S RIDING HIGH
I KNOW YOU'RE ALWAYS STANDING BY
WITH SOME INSPIRATION WHEN I'M RUNNING DRY
BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO MUCH AND YET I CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH
??? to violent ???
I tried to find my own ???
And I'll rule ???
And create a perfect race ???
The voices I here are trying to conrol me
Need to clean my mind or never survive
Suicide, the only solution
Life is to a fault for no retribution
But now ???
This is ???
Slashing my arms,
To let the blood free
Soon to get away from the pain
I have lost all I believe,
To a world of hypocrisy
Not afraid to die,
Just an empty soul, unconscious
Whats a drug to make a difference
But now I'm taking it through
Only the pain I earn,
The kind that sticks right through you
The voices are here are trying to control me
Soon to get away from the pain
I have lost all I believe,
To a world of hypocrisy
Not afraid to die,
Just an empty soul, unconscious
Whats a drug to make a difference
But now I'm taking it through
Only the pain I earn,
[Instrumental]
he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear
see him burning the fruits of his labours
and with joy in his heart digs the graves of those
that he's trying to save oh, self destruction's his aim
see the soil turn to dust see the steel turn to rust
killing all those he loves thanking god up above
the paradox of man the paradox of man
he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb
he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man
and he envies the power of his neighbours
and he still fails to see he's become his own
worst enemy oh, will he ever learn?
see the truth turn to lies see the greed in his eyes
wasting all that remains his soul trapped in chains
the paradox of man the paradox of man
he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear
soil turn to dust, can his power ever last?
the chains of his gain, reveal secrets of his past
bitter is his greed, but man will never pay
oh lead me through, lead me through, the faults of his rage
he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb
Bite your tongue until it bleeds.
This pain is worth more than what you have to say.
Swallow your pride because silence is golden,
And I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts.
Lie down your guard and surrender.
All that you're proving is your ignorance. (2x)
Choose your words carefully.
He that keeps his mouth keeps his life.
He that opens his lips too wide
Shall bring on his own destruction [Proverbs 13:3]
Bite your tongue until it bleeds.
The pain is worth more than what you have to say.
Swallow your pride.
Swallow your pride because silence is golden,
And I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts.
Lie down your guard.
In concepts of space
We were an illusion
A second in the cosmos
A minute in real time
We spent our time in search of life
It was so hard
He started off too late
We were a dream
Product of imagination
By a god unseen
He knew that we would be destroyed
He felt so old, yeah
He knew this was his final chance
After years of trying to get it right
A dreaded foe would try to spoil
Homo sapiens on sight
He guided our direction wisely
Helping only when it was needed
Laying traps for all our enemies
No voice unheaded
Had to keep that satanistic man away
Everything he tried
Came to no avail
There was just destruction
At another's hand
He tried in vain
To stay the hand
Of his fallen brother
So he tried in vain
Had to keep the satanistic hand at bay, yeah
Can't let them fall
Can this be all
Everything I've tried
Can't let it ride
They should have a place in time
They should not end
Tried to help us through our life
Helping when we fall
Say those words of satan's wrath
Try to keep us whole
Aid us in the flight against strife
Comfort when we call
Cast aside the sins we make
Revel in our joy
Have to win this battle, satanists beware
Oh. we have the belief
Violence and power
Have a life to live
In an ivory tower
Had we had more time
We could have been more real
We didn't stand a chance
Because of powers unseen
Life was over before it had begun
God was wrong
They will fight through all of time
Cursing as they meet
Sending lightning across the sky
A panoply of heat
A battlefield through time and space
A fight of avid fury
Thunder heralds each new move
Only angels as their jury
The fight will last a millions years or more
We won't be here to tell
Or even keep the score
We can only hope
That we'll be here for more!
[Instrumental]
I'm a genie
From the bottle
A voice upon the raw north wind
I know you
If you hear is good
I'll also know if you have sinned
You can lead me
To a warhorse
See me riding on it's back
All be with you
As you reatreat
I will lead the main attack
Paradox?
No just a lie!
Paradox?
I wonder why
You will feel no joy
You will feel no pain
You'll never see the sun
You'll only feel the rain
I run with the wolves at midnight
I can stop the sun at dawn
I'm a king
A queen, a bishop
You are just my lowly pawn
I sing with the elves of Mirkwood
And I've watched the dragons die
I'm the king beneath the mountain
I'm an eagle in the sky
Paradox?
No just a lie!
Paradox?
I wonder why
You will never feel the power
You will only feel pain
You will never see the sun
Are you insane
Is it only common senses
Ooh it the truth
Tell me, is it all a lie
Do you need to have the proof
Yeah!
Tell!
You will feel no joy
You will feel no pain
You'll never see the sun
You'll only feel the rain
Gangdalf rides
Fair shadowfax
Arathorn strides far and wide
Boromir stands by
The mighty oak tree
A hundred arrows pierce his side
I have formed the highest mountains
I have hurled a storm of rock
The world equates as paradise
To you it's just a paradox
Paradox?
No just a lie!
Paradox?
I wonder why
You will never feel the power
You will only feel pain
You will never see the sun
Are you insane
Conquering time, conquer the world
Spreading death, screaming and pain
Sending our warriors ready to die
Thousands will kill and be slain
To build your monument
To build your monument
No repents,no regrets
It has to be done,to be done
To show the world who is in charge
'I am the immortal one'
Godlike, undead, steadfast,
eternal, holy, fame
Hallowed be thy name
A monument built with death and pain
Indestructable
Built on walls of blood
The battle is won, people enslaved
Cannot fodder for the next strike
Command and obey, no other choice
Subject to the emperor's reich
To build your monument
To build your monument
Hallowed be thy name
A monument built with death and pain
Indestructable
Built on walls of blood
Who cares - If soldiers have to die
Who cares - If blood is shed for a lie
Who cares - about the next to come,
When creating a monument for the 'one'
Eternity,pride and lust
Perverted killing - fun
Burning skies, bitterness
All for one,and only one
Godlike, undead, steadfast,
eternal, holy, fame
Hallowed be thy name
A monument built with death and pain
Hallowed be thy name
Indestructable
(Steinhauer/Blaha)
"The hatred that was shown by the crusaders for
people who were basically peaceful and the
extremes of torture and murder to rid France of
the heretics..."
Look out Sentry, we're in a killing mood
don't stand in our way, don't try to slow us down
This is war, seek Devinity
We only want to stop heresy
Terror, hatred, Murder
Error, fateful, Mistake
No need to shout boy it won't save your skin
it's best to prepare the time must come for all
Terror, hatred. Murder
Error fatefull, Mistake
Don't stop carry on ahead
don't stop till they are all dead
Minerve die
Cathars fly
Don't stop just swing that sword boy
no one to resist you just forge on
Massacre, Heretics, Cathars
Murder, in the name, of the Lord
Blood flows like fire in my brain
Blood flows like water, reddened rain
won't you come and join us
praise and rejoice us, more
If we don't act and win this war
These heretic bastards will be knocking at
your door
Massacre, Heretics, Cathars
Murder, in the name, of the Lord
If we do not end this blasphemy
the war will reign for centuries
Keep our church free... we will
I look into a strangers eye as I look into the mirror
Can you see me when I'm looking at you?
Eyes expressing hell – wicked spoiled and sick
Infecting my environment and creeping under skin
Infiltration, domination, alienation from inside
Detect the septic place
Hunting down the trace
Here I'm under skin, now I'm deep within
I crawl through your veins he must be infected
I am feeling a chain reaction
Devouring my mind
While I'm analyzing I'm loosing my sense
Will I win the fight or will I die in pain?
Here I'm under skin, now I'm deep within
I crawl through your veins he must be infected
I am the virus that's creeping through your system
You feel the pain when I'm running through your veins
What is this that grows inside me, devouring my sanity
Can't get hold on it, I can hardly see – unholy source of energy
I need the antidote, the infection's gone irate
Getting devoured from inside is not to be my fate
Disconnect to rid this biomechanical killing machine
Scanning the all systems until I'm virus-clean
Here I'm under skin, now I'm deep within
(Steinhauer/Blaha)
"The massed attack and slaughter of the people
and city of Bezier's because the residents of
that city killed a few of the crusaders..."
To Béziers city
Came a host from the far north
Death riding at the head of this vast horde
At the bidding of the king
their swords began to sing
no living thing was safe from punity
Fly, as swords swing
you will die for our gods law
you will find no safety
within your city walls
we will come right through you
untill your back's against the wall
Crusaders Revenge
prepare to die
Crusaders Revenge
Destroy all the leaders
bring their heads to me on a plate
seek out the kids and the wives
Kill, kill them all
God will decide on whom to blame
God will find his own among
the slayers and the slain
we're just here to butcher
not to keep the score
Who!
On this day the order
to slay was handed down from the king
kill everything that gets in your way
Destroy all that live
Hope and pray that none survive
We have been given orders
that no-one will remain
if one man is still standing
there'll be one to lay the blame
Crusaders Revenge
prepare to die
Crusaders Revenge
Crusaders Revenge
prepare to die
Crusaders Revenge
Crusaders Revenge
Crusaders Revenge

"A short poem about the Castle that was home
to the lyricists during writing of this album..."
700 years of cold nights it's been there
700 years of power fading away
Mysterys, Enigmas steeped within it's walls
Secret hidden never to be known
Like a massive Guardian
Crouched upon the hill
Windows look like eyes
Ramparts seem like teeth
A view of all around if sightless eyes could see
Industrial Madness encroaching on it's fief
Insidious decay
Nothing stops it's spread
Don't bring down these walls
Don't destroy history
These old stones tell us so much
to fall would be an end to
Serenity
On the hill
Serenity
On the hill
See the life on the hills all around
Keep destruction at Bay
Don't surround us with modern things
Let histoty survive, keep industry away
Warm Summer Nights
Moonlight on the walls
Worlds are at peace
let there be
Serenity
On the hill
Serenity
On the hill
Listen to the massage, a voice from the past
Heed it's warning, this monuments won't last
Help to stay the plight
of these ancient walls
now the time to fight
they must not fall
See how they stand
so majestical and free
etched on the skyline
our heritage for free
Serenity
Nows the time
Serenity
You want to piss on my back?
You want to manipulate?
You're just a hollow creature
Constructed to bring hate
Instructed to detest,to destroy and discreate
You want to hollow me out?
You want to suck me in?
You're like a nasty machine
Constructed to destruct
We are just numbers,figures in a game
Can we resist? Or must we back in shame
Who will be first? Who will be last?
Unmistify this: second over third by force
No will to break or change
No reason to believe
No enemy to fight, noone to deceive
We defend our fate
We have to flick the switch
We must resist, in order to exist
We are just numbers,figures in a game
Can we resist? Or must we back in shame
Who will be first? Who will be last?
Unmistify this: second over third by force
We must defend the sacred treasure
We must obey the judgement of heart
First come numbers,then comprehension
Never to remorse, second over third force
THIRD FORCE!
We are just numbers,figures in a game
Can we resist? Or must we back in shame
Who will be first? Who will be last?
Unmistify this: second over third by force
Second over third by force
Power to the fifth or sixth
Feel the pressure of this time hear your heartbeat pounding twice
Man's emotions is growing cold always asked but never told
See the colours turn to grey our life has led astray
Life is so complicated - the hope is lost in time
Problems underrated - there is a way
(Out of the dark)
What we need right now is a saviour from these times
To take us far away where our inner child can rise
Now the time is close at hand fate's so hard to understand
Mother earth will take revenge for the spoil and all the stench
Everyday maybe our last remind the shadows of the past
Life is so complicated - the hope is lost in time
Problems underrated - there is a way
(Out of the dark)
What we need right now is a saviour from these times
To take us far away where our inner child can rise
Confidence is hard to find success is all we have in mind
Love and faith are getting rare god help us now we better care
Please release us from our sins and in the end no one wins
Life is so complicated - the hope is lost in time
Problems underrated - there is a way
(Out of the dark)
What we need right now is a saviour from these times
If I could rewind - the turning hands of time
Only progressing forwards on a constant speed
A pace without disgrace - right to infinity
We must go on without correction of our deeds
It sounds like irony - "we all are free"
Captured by our past eternally
Those to me are fools - "who try to change"
The facts of history
Like our acts of hate - which will never fade
Inside our memory like a secret haze
On the day we die - sins evade from inside
Never to fade - impossible to erase
It sounds like irony - "we all are free"
Captured by our past eternally
Those to me are fools - "who try to change"
The facts of history
That's why we feel - sadness...madness
So many tears we shed - a lake of tears
To wash the sins away - but they never dissapear
Memories always coming through
Life does not forget the truth
Our ancestors accused - same us our children
They point their fingers at us (it's us) you were killing
Time is running out - to correct the direction
Is there only sadness left or time - for correction?
A possibility - "that we are free"
To change fate with fantasy
We can make the rules "change the lanes"
Away from hate - away from hate
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
You seemed so far away though you were standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
There is no proof the bringers of death seem to leave their sins behind
Cause their deeds were not observed will be lefy as unpunished crimes
They gpt nothing to lose and nothing to win - dead within their lives
Who cares about truth - who cares about sin - who is a killer at large
Look into their eyes
No use for prayers and forgiveness hearts have turned to stone
They don't care, they are aware that they are all alone
This is the age were killers run free denying their own past
Washing their hands but the dirt beneath will forever last
Look into their eyes
Their eyes can't hide the truth...even if they rearrange the past
Historical facts - modificated no consciousness of wrong and right
Memory, history was manipulated horror was changed
Into fairy tales to keep alive
A prophecy we have in store for those about spoken of
We can see the closing door to eternity and peace
Time preceeding life is fleeing towards the bitter end
Then they will ask - was is worth all this never again
Look into their eyes
Their eyes can't hide the truth...even if they rearrange the past
Rearrange the past
Rearrange the past
The warriors of Asgard fly
Their seeds across the sky
Lightning snaps from shield and sword
The god that never die
Helmets shining
Spears aligning
As they ride
Hallowed knights on golden chargers
Screaming as they say
Pray...to the godz of wrath
Speedin in the silver morning
Sunshine lights their day
Eyes a sparkle, spirits soaring
Nothing bars their way
Helmets shining
Spears aligning
As they ride
Golden gods on golden chargers
Screaming as they say
Pray...to the godz of wrath
Great swords swung against their foes
Cries of battle end the air
Thunder rolls across the sky
Of the gods of wrath beware
Helmets shining
Spears aligning
As they ride
Savage lords on golden chargers
Screaming as they say
A still life - a life still
A new love - a new kill
Fascination for blood shed
A work of art in blood-red
No! No accusation
Art is free - freedom of art!
Gone is fascination
The shiny red is fading away
Colour the portrait in grey
A still love - a love still
A sharp knife - a sharp will
Silent admiration, unheard, unseen
Fantastic immolation, totally cleen
No! No accusation
Art is free - freedom of art!
Gone is fascination
The shiny red is fading away
Colour the portrait in grey
Blood is red or is it grey
It's not the same, it fades away
It gets forgotten, discreate
Shadows fall, dissimilate
No! No accusation
Art is free - freedom of art!
Gone is fascination
The shiny red is fading away
Colour the portrait in grey
Never saw it any other way - for him it was the truth
He lerned it early: the method of denying
When accused - the easiest to say was "no not me"
Pointing the finger at somebody else
Was far from lying
Sealed his fate by denial, never defend - never repent
Life no holding is trial - never again
Here is the end of the path of denial
The reason wasn't personal fear - just a way to get on
Weakness of character - no force to fight
But striving ahead
Instead of standing up - he broke down
And lied like a child
No energy for conflict - no power to arise
Sealed his fate by denial, never defend - never repent
Life no holding is trial - never again
Here is the end of the path of denial
Falling backwards - falling down the stairs of life
Down on the knees - crowling to escape his fate
Crying it out - too late to relieve the soul
Used to be proud - now he's gonna pay his toll
Throning in fame on the top stair of commerce and society
Nothing was wrong to get get there - reckless for success
Reality lurking to bring him to fall, a silent strike
A little mistake an undercover eye
He couldn't stand the test
Sealed his fate by denial, never defend - never repent
Life no holding is trial - never again
What happens here,
Some call it life and others call it hell
Cannot be sure if its all real
Or just a prison cell
Release me out of here
Into neverness of fear
Unable to move, forced into this fate
Never to escape
Attracting looks of hatred - hate is in their souls
Past and future fight without control
Do you feel their anger? - what have they been told?
The books of history have to be closed
Falling...beneath the shadows of the past
Strawling...to leave the past behind
You are just a victim of our memory
Forget the past and just be free
Falling...the blood in your veins seems to burn
Burning...burning up inside
Deep in there down in your heart
Down in your soul there's something cold
And you feel the misery
And you hear them pray
Overshadowed...history terrifying me
Overshadowed...must we feel this pain
Of the shadows in our soul
(You're) falling...inner feelings so absurd
Turning...back the hands of time
Deep in there down in your heart
Down in your soul there's something cold
And you feel the misery
And you hear them pray
Overshadowed...history terrifying me
Overshadowed...must we feel this pain
Of the shadows in our soul
Trouble!
I saw in hanging in the night air
Exactly as it shouldn't
I prayed for it to go its own way
Allthrough I knew it wouldn't
Who can I tell
Who would believe me
There's no one else around
Something's changing
It's moving off now
It's not making a sound
Someone tell me I didn't see it
It was only a dream
Oh God! It's moving towards me
I think I shall scream
Where am I now
What am I doing here
What is this thing in the sky
Why does it want me
What have I done here
Why does it come for me now
Who could tell things would turn out this way...tonite!
I know why it's here, it's coming to take me away...tonite!
But why
Mystery
Mystery
Mr. Bureaucracy can you control the air I breathe
A broken democracy you won't control my sanity
Mr. Bureaucracy can you control my privacy
A state of security you can't control my mind it's free
I'm broken down by what I need freedom of choice not good for me
My stomach hurts your hungry greed can't put me down I'm on my knees
Mr. Bureaucracy can you control my destiny
The clothes I wear the food I eat the lies I'm told my self esteem
Mr. Hypocrisy can you destroy my hopes and dreams
A blindfold monopoly you can't destroy my mind it's free
I'm broken down by what I need freedom of choice not good for me
My stomach hurts your hungry greed can't push me down I'm on my knees
It's better to stay down don't have to think for yourself
It's better to play dumb don't have to prove yourself
There's never a way out you gotta work for your debt
It's better to break out you gotta free yourself
The government won't leave me alone, I'm tired and spent I'm tired and old
The government won't leave me alone, I'm tired and spent just leave me
alone
Leave me alone
I'm all jaded intimidated, My colour's faded I'm liberated
Make me sad, make me beg, contents read, weighed and fed, I'm half dead
drained and bled
It won't be long..
(Steinhauer/Blaha)
"The beginning - How the believers of the
dualist theory turned there backs on
catholicism and found their own methods of
embracing God..."
They started on a distant shore
The rich believing with the poor
Fighting, striving hard to seek
A higher power with something else to say
Spreading their belief
praying for a life
It's the perfect way
But to the church it's just called heresy
Heresy
Heretics, that and nothing more
Daring to renege on our gods law
It's wrong for them to feel this way
Detrimental for the soul
Help them through this time
Disregard these lies
They say the perfect way
But to the church it's just called heresy
Heresy
Yeah... Choose!
Cathars gaining more control
The choice is free, us or holy Rome
Join with us you'll see the light
We have a holy Right
It's the perfect way
But to the church it's just called heresy
Heresy
Heresy
Heresy
(Steinhauer/Blaha)
"The thinking of the knights and mercenaries as
they fought the cathars, how they were paid for
forty days at a time..."
Before the sun goes down they'll scream
Heretics, cower, our blades are sharp for thee
We'll put you to the sword
or hang you from a tree
KILLTIME, Bloodlust, no time to pray
Heretic
Voices
We don't give a damn
You're all gonna die
Forty days
that's all we're paid for
Forty days
Longer if you want us to stay
Forty days
That's what you paid for our hire
Forty days
No more
Fighting every day
in this holy war
KILLTIME, Bloodshed, let loose the dogs of war
Your heretic beliefs with which we don't agree
our sword thirst to end your day
Heretics
Hearsay
Hope your gods are with you
watching as you die
Forty days
to destroy the aura around you
Forty days
to put an end to your lives
Forty days
We're just soldiers for hire
Forty days
No more
War!
Mercenaries and Knights
Warriors of the north
KILL TIME, Bloodlust, you wil be no more
Our sword will set you free from this mockery
KILLTIME, crush, our mandate is to slay
Cathars
Vaudois
Why don't you face the true god
Give up Idolatry
Forty days
We'll put you all to the fire
Forty days
You'll then just be history
Forty days
Perhaps is what you desire
Forty days
Massing on the borders
All over this small world
The big red bear is coming
The big red flag unfurls
Spreading mindless terror
Through puppets the world wide
No one really knows for shure
Who is one whose side
Kill...that beast!
Kill...that beast!
The bear is in San Salvador
He's out in Cuba too
He's marching on North Africa
Is there nothing we can do
See the eagle in his nest
Not knowing who its master is
Or is it all the man in power
Or is it a disaster
Kill...that beast!
Stop...the spread!
Kill...that beast!
Rushing through the danger zone
Why can't you see
There's something going wrong
We have to move now
We can't sit back
Just like we have been
Doing far too long
We have the power
Should we use it
No mistakes now
Don't abuse it
Kill that beast!
We saw it in Afghanistan
We can't allow that to happen again
If it doesn't stop now it never will
We all just drown
In the nuclear rain
Nuclear rain
We have the power
Should we use it
No mistakes now
Don't abuse it
Kill that beast!
Take look into the future, a look into the past
Can you realize that we are goin' fast
I feel yesterday was just a second away
But as the seconds flow memories disarray
Our way leads to nowhere, time is a mystery
Our plan is to find it, we're goin' hyperspeed
Our life leads to somewhere, it seems a memory
As we speed to find it we loose the entity
History went by so quickly
A raving, erratic race
Yesterday was bones & stones
Tomorrow: hyperspace
Fantasy to us
The sci-fi-stories only to amuse
Which have become designer blue-prints
Complicated, easy to use
Our way leads to nowhere, time is a mystery
Our plan is to find it, we're goin' hyperspeed
Our life leads to somewhere, it seems a memory
As we speed to find it we loose the entity
Hyperspeed hallucinations
Hyperspeed hallucinations
Tomorrow will be even faster
No way to let thoughts go astray
Concentrate and navigate
Calibrate, don't estimate
Loose your mind then loose your life
Keep it under your control
Push the button, flick the switch
Full speed ahead off we go!
Our way leads to nowhere, time is a mystery
Our plan is to find it, we're goin' hyperspeed
Our life leads to somewhere, it seems a memory
As we speed to find it we loose the entity
Hyperspeed hallucinations
When the levee goes, the heart breaks away
The mind holds back, just loose dirt in pouring rain
The truth is not free and everyone must pay the price
There were diamonds, there was gold in your eyes
Now just silence and broken words on the side
The journey is never done, and the way is long
This love is like celebrating
4th of July with dynamite
4th of July with dynamite
There is no right way
Only the way that keeps your mind free
Every moment to count in the living judgment day
Life to live shall not be a burden carried on shoulders
The long mystic trial, the dreams leave the dust
No blues are coming down this time
This love is like celebrating
4th of July with dynamite
4th of July with dynamite
This love is like celebrating
4th of July with dynamite
Where am I now? Where I am here? What has happened to me?
I seem to be somewhere, seem to be unfree
Unhuman cold existence with human conscience
With human feeling and a human soul
Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, corpse without soul
Seems I'm floating aroung through hyperspace and time
Falling through an unknown clime
I breathe nothing, no taste, no feeling, lost my mind
I'm in a new, yet explored surrounding: cyberspace
Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, corpse without soul
I feel observed, analyzed, like an alien thing
Millions of users in front of the screen
I feel no weakness and I begin to understand
I am the master, I am in command
Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, mechanical soul
A perfect role, separated soul
I'm disconnected
A story...
A cold night somewhere
Such a cold night
Hands held in fear
But it's going to be alright
It was a seance
But no one really knew
What they were doing
Or how they were no perform
No one knew why they were here
Tired, played out and scared
Fear numbing the brain
Windows drumming with rain
Shapes forget out of flame
Death, screaming and pain
Don't call on me
I'm not yours to see
You'll feel my power
And you won't be too pleased
I'm called by many names
None of them portray
The hate that's burning in my mind
The havoc I can play
I am the true Lord of Hell
Satan's my name, I'm king
Fears stab into their brains
Windows drumming insane
A candle is guttering flame
Death, screaming and pain
Hell!
Death!
Oh! The candles go dim
A great sound cracks the wall
A voice in hears saying
I'm coming for you all
Come down with me now
I'll give you your desire
But if you do not heed my words
I'll smother you with fire
Nobody followed the sound
They just stayed there and burned
A house that's empty again
Windows still drumming with rain
There's no one to see any flame
I look at you and I know it will never be for real
We seem to be unreal
We chose a faith beyond the flesh, beyond reality
Without intimacy
Forlorn we linger in this endless seeming space
Our love is lost without a trace
How could this tragedy begin, I cannot understand
We never had a chance
To fall in love by the screen, we were so goddamn lonely
Constructed our misery
A relationship built by disgrace
Condemned to be so far away
Last night, I remember – you said you'd be forever mine
Just you and me within space and time
We drifted away, conjoined in fantasy
No bounds to break our gathering (to break your gathering)
I'll take you home, so come take my hand
Reach out and feel the love that I send
This is to you, just give this a chance
Well it's a sweet system with no solution,
Breathe in Corporate Pollution.
Standardise what is all the same
Analyse what is all in vain
Paralyzed by authority
A pretty picture society where do I stand?
But it's a sweet system with no solution,
Breathe in Corporate Pollution,
A mind prison of self illusion,
Breathe in Corporate Pollution.
Advertise what we must obtain,
Compromise for financial gain,
Patronise the minority,
A pretty picture society we're doomed,
Consumed.
Your government swore your patriotic scars,
I ask what for?
Your government wore your patriotic stars,
I ask what for?
What for?
Interest rates up 20 per cent
(Corporation world domination)
Defecating dollar bills
(Corporation world domination)
We must rage war for your security
(Operation scare the nation)
Crossfire naive society
(Corporation world domination)
Are we just some kind of puppets on a string
Enslaved to be tools of presidents and kings
Players in a show that runs almost for free
Only to the costs of those whose straings are weak
It's a tragedy (tragedy) - neglet the domination
Like a parody (parody) - a fiendfish agitation
The people of the world - on a collision course
Dictators and religions - the population as their toys
Racial hate unfurled - it's a collision course
Humanity collides - it's a collision course
Stop - breaking the rules of nature
Blind - can't you see the danger
Mute - standing there in silence
Screaming echoes of hate and violence
(A puppet you no longer shall be - set yourself free)
The troops are sent out - for a fast kill
Are we directed without an owl will
Do we have to obey - in order to survive
Do we have to march on to sacrifice life
A possibility (it would be) - to neglet the domination
Play a parody (parody) - war assassination
The people of the world - on a collision course
Dictators and religions - the population as their toys
Nations of the earth - it's a collision course
Some incredible noises are crushing my head
There's no other choice – the code is red
I feel all is in vain
This life is insane
Daily pressure is rising
Search the way to rid the pain
Is it time to give up
Abandon this game?
I feel all is in vain
This life is insane
A call from behind opens my mind
Wake up, step back, unwind!
I turn back to myself
Start anew, ending it all
Step a new into existence
The bridge to silence must fall
Now the time is right to conclude this fight
The future is clear, start right now and here
I feel all is in vain
This life is insane
A call from behind opens my mind
Wake up, step back, unwind!
I turn back to myself
Start anew, ending it all
Step a new into existence
The hammer has fallen - the sentence has been past
I can't imagine now long time can last
It's just a factor - between birth and death
Left isn't much and it's only getting less
I don't know why but I've been blamed for nothin'
Look at me, I'm unable to move my hands
You're making a big mistake - I'm victim of justice hate
It seems judge and jury forget what justice really is
One way thinking - games with paragraphs
Abusal of law and reckless denial of facts
I don't know why but I've been blamed for nothin'
Look at me, I'm unable to move my hands
I don't know why but I've been blamed for nothin'
I'm not the one I deserve no punishment
Listen, I am innocent - yes I am
There is no reason to repent
I don't know why but I've been blamed for nothin'
Look at me, I'm unable to move my hands
I don't know why but I've been blamed for nothin'
I'm not the one I deserve no punishment
Can't you see I'm no killer - I can prove my innocence
Won't you realize it's impossible to kill with the hand
Witnesses missing - the truth is clear to see
Just no one else to accuse except for me
I don't know why but I've been blamed for nothin'
Look at me, I'm unable to move my hands
I don't know why but I've been blamed for nothin'
I'm not the one I deserve no punishment
Out of time
Out of spacial, space
Out of time
We're a new race
We had to come
Across the nebula
We had to come through
A black star, we're right
We had to fall
Through a time warp
We had to fall
We had to fly
Through a star burst
We had to fly
We were in flight
We could not delay
We were in flight
Each and every day
Oh oh...
Not to worry
There's a new world there
Time to hurry
We may not have to care
If it isn't we will take it anyway
Beyond space, fight
Look!
We haven't come
This far to be scared
We haven't come
This far to be there
We had to fall
Through a time warp
We had to fall
We had to fly
Through a star burst
We had to fly
We were in flight
We could not delay
We were in flight
Each and every day
Oh oh...
We don't worry
We don't even care
Don't have to hurry
It will still be there
If it isn't we'll find in anywhere
Beyond space - we will fight
We had to fly
Through smoke and clouds
We had to fly
Through a storm of dust
We felt that we'd come through hell
We didn't like it
We didn't want to stay
This wasn't what we needed
It wasn't good or right
It wasn't what we wanted
It wasn't light or bright
Oh oh...
No to worry
We have time to spare
Not to hurry
We don't have a care
If it's not good
We'll go anywhere, anywhere
(Steinhauer/Blaha)
"How the events of the 13th century are
remembered today, and does it really have
any boaring on today society..."
A country splintered by religion
Torn by anarchy
Herretics burned for their derision
of the holy See
Seven, Hundred Years on
World, do you recall
just what happened then
Gentlemen and Gentlewomen
Let into the pyre
Seven, Hundred Years ago
Let's think
Images of war
Flashing swords, burning homes
The Albigensian Crusade
See the ruins upon the hills
just seven hundred Years on
So now in nineteen eighty nine
How much do we know
Except for learned scholars
No-one knows at all
Blind
Apathy
Forgotten
A part of history
Flashing swords, burning homes
The Albigensian Crusade
See the ruins upon the hills
lust seven hundred Years on
To blind to see that religion's free
Believe what you believe
Established Churches still don't agree
Seven hundred Years on
Heresy a different route
from mother church in Rome
See us, we're hurting no-one
why can't you leave us alone
Hunted
Persued
Burnt
Marched into the fire
(Steinhauer/Blaha)
"How the crusaders burnt the cathars as
punishment for their so called heretic beliefs..."
The final scene at the Bucher or the stake
Gonna build a tower to burn
Torch, a flaming brand, a pyric blazing scourge
Heretics Clad in flames die in silence
It is no doubt the right way
The perfect way to go
an end to this damn heresy
an end to this damn war
Crowds watch and wait the spectacle unfolds
Orgasmic in intensity their hate
Look, feel the power as flash begins to char
die now and speak your useless prayers
Yell for forgiveness
Grovel in your shame
You'll'find that your protector
wont save you from the flames
Your vision of a brand new day
was ravaged by the war
Fire is your just reward
Ignomy your fate
Flames shall feed the fire
Flames shall purify
The church of Rome has issued this decree
Flames destroy the works
Flames destroy the liars
Fire destroy the heresy we fear
So, if you don't see it our way this is what
you get
War and flaming towers as reward
So renounce your tachings come back
into the fold
The choise you have peace or holy war
It is no doubt the right way
The perfect way to go
an end to this damn heresy
an end to this damn war
Burn if you desire
Burn this very day
we have a thousand torches to help you on
your way
Burn if you desire
Burn in silent rite
Your heretics beliefs could even save you all
Ahh!
Heresy was to blame
For lives lost in the fire
The holy church in shame
She was born in a country place untouched soul, innocent face
Finest education anyone could get with high society wisdom she was fed
Oh no - she is leaving home she ain't ready to leave this idyll
Oh no - she is all alone an illusion of a childhood-thrill
Lost in the streets - a fatal decision
More than real - fantasy destruction
Blinded by light - glamorous confusion
Hide in the dark - shattered illusions
Taking the tray away from her home so excited there was no time to moan
And as she saw the lights of the city they looked at her shining with pity
Oh no - she is leaving home entering the world of enhancing light
Oh no - she is all alone the grab of the city hloding her tight
Lost in the streets - a fatal decision
More than real - fantasy destruction
Blinded by light - glamorous confusion
Hide in the dark - shattered illusions
Life beginning to end in a blur - gone away from home
She has left her home forever - lost for all time
She lost her life - to crime and agony she was so blind - overdosed vanity
So disillusioned shattered childhood dreams
The new friends turned out to be fools falling in love with the angel of doom
Deadly poison seeping through her veins (drug bound) - her body for sale
Oh no - she is all alone she has entered the word of light
Oh no - far away from home it's her destiny to lose this fight
Lost in the streets - a fatal decision
More than real - fantasy destruction
Blinded by light - glamorous confusion
(Steinhauer/Blaha)
"How, through their beliefs the cathars tried to
achieve a state of Perfection..."
SEARCH!
We can't eat no flesh no fowl
Sleeping around is out
Women are against the rules
fornication frowned upon
We live by the law
wrapped in the world
nobody wavers
nobody strays
Lonely nights and lonely days
are looked upon as right
but lonely days and lonely nights
are a symbol of our fight
No cause has lived
so strict in it's rules
A life filled with pain
a path to our god,
a road to the right
Long does it wind
Along way to go, way to go, evermore
Search for Perfection
our creed self control
Search for Perfection
our life for the cause
Priests talk like Jesus wrote
everything is right
we talk of John the Lord
we think were right
Our John the brave
lights up our way
Teach by example
shake off the scorn,
join us this day
We have the strength
our road is straight, to the Lord it's the way
Search for Perfection
our creed self control
Search for Perfection
For this we'll die
No other way is any good
Life doesn't last
our belief is heaven sent
forgive us our past
what we do now is good
not what we did then
we dedicate ourselves to help
our welfare comes last
Follow our road,
find a new world
a search for Perfection
in the eyes of the Lord
join us on our way
help us through this day
try to break away from the roman captivity...
Search for Perfection
A perfect mind
Search for Perfection
All the things we must achieve
To keep our state alive
A prostitution of society
Truth - is what they calm to say
That it's for the sake - of the human race
Shame - they should be ashamed
They're the ones to blame
When we lose the game
We vote to be free - society - will never die
Fools - are those who still believe
That society is free - it's not reality
The lies - produced by gouvernment
Yes I do believe - that we are deceived
We vote to be free - society - will never die
All those word we try to understand
Are all together so irrelevant
Just open your eyes to insanity
And to prostitution of society
Use - your brain to check your soul
You have lost control - you no longer rule
But you - are not the only fool
This is how we work - of which we are the victims
We vote to be free - society - will never die
All those word we try to understand
Are all together so irrelevant
Just open your eyes to insanity
And to prostitution of society
We vote to be free - society - will never die
Control - is what they strain to hold
So they rule alone - an egoistic role
Time - we cannot rewind
But we have to find - salvation from this crime
Now we know it's real - the words we hear
Produce no fear
All those word we try to understand
Are all together so irrelevant
Just open your eyes to insanity
Racing through the atmosphere
Tiny matter you should fear
Artificial energy strong and fast
Colder than hate fix to blast
And as we scan the sky
We know that we must die
We dare no to defy – electrify
And as we race the night
We know we all must fight
A force of blinding light – electrify
The flick was switched so many years ago
A mission for mankind
Having gone out of control
A trike back operation
Of the fortitude we made
Electrocution of the inventor: immolate
And as we scan the sky
We know that we must die
We dare no to defy – electrify
And as we race the night
We know we all must fight
A force of blinding light – electrify
Lightning strikes the atmosphere
Neutronic power from an outer sphere
Everything to be blown away
What is this force that we lead astray
To splatter us away
And as we scan the sky
We know that we must die
We dare no to defy – electrify
And as we race the night
We know we all must fight
A force of blinding light – electrify
And as we search the night
We recognize in fright
[The hatred that was shown by the crusaders for people who were basically peaceful and the extremes of torture and murder to rid France of the heretics]
Look out Sentry,
We're in a killing mood
Don't stand in our way,
Don't try to slow us down
This is war, seek Divinity
We only want to stop heresy
Terror, hatred, murder
Error, fateful, mistake
No need to shout boy
It won't save your skin now
It's best to prepare
The time must come for all
Terror, hatred. murder
Error fateful, mistake
Don't stop carry on ahead
Don't stop till they are all dead
Minerve die
Cathars fly
Don't stop just swing that sword boy
No one to resist you just forge on
Massacre, Heretics, Cathars
Murder, in the name of the Lord
Blood flows like fire in my brain
Blood flows like water reddened rain
Won't you come and join us
Praise and rejoice us more
If we don't act
And win this war
These heretic bastards
Will be knocking at your door
Massacre, Heretics, Cathars
Murder, in the name of the Lord
If we don't end this blasphemy
The war will reign for centuries
Keep our church free, we will
Massacre these Cathars and make sure
I can't take this
Forever I've wanted to be a lot more than just a person
Not to play on the side of the humans
We're forced to live and die in this system
I can't see the logic that we are taught
Pleasure is attained through freedom
Pain is the answer
Try to escape from the body
Welcome to the paradox
Can not take this
I thought that pain was my savior
Living a lie from what I'm thinking
I'm chasing my life which must end right here
How can I free myself from this world that I'm forced to live in?
We'll see at the end that this idea freedom
that you hold to yourself, can never
Retrieve all the things that were meant to be
if they're causing us pleasure
I want to be the pain causing the change to our race
When it hurts you
I want to be the pain causing the change to our life
When it hits
I want to be what I am, not the circumstance of how I was born
I can not take this, I will not take this
I want to be the pain causing the change to our race
I want to be the pain causing the change to our life
I want to be what I am, not the circumstance of how I was born
I can not take this, I will not take this

[Genius] I Told You I'm Genius
[Genius & Twin Spirit N. 32] What A Dangerous Paradox
Paradox, Paradox, Dangerous Paradox !
[Well, you probably didn't imagine that when humans start to dream, the adventures, the great fantasies, that they experienced are caused and controlled by their assigned twin spirit. This Twin Spirit is a sort of guide created to handle the dremaers minds, making them live what they dream as if it was true. But, under normal circumstances they shouldn't see him and they shouldn't even know about his existence. When created, to be admitted, the twin spirits knock at the gates of the Dreams kingdom with a particular beat sequence that works as a password. Causally, the Genius clock alarm beated exactly the same sequence, and, being a drummer himself, he started to imagine in his mind a snare drum pattern that followed that beat. He was not completely awaken and the snare beats he was imaging of reached the dream kingdom gate, and he was wrongly admittend in that parallel dimension by the doorkeepers considered as a regular Twin Spirit ! ]
[Storyteller]
Plain as ghosts
Now our faults
Are clear as day
Drop the persona, it's so fake
So vain
Shame on you
Search yourself
Change
End this bullshit
Afraid. You are
Fraught by lies
Bound by slurs. Cursed
Misled by fools so blind. To see.
Drowned. And left to lie in wait
Dissolve
Don't let go!
We disconnect ourselves and
Escape to the paradox that we deny
Enclosed by phony company
With every waking thought we bleed them dry
Take your life and carve away
All that keeps our minds at bay
Drop this ignorance, it isn't bliss
