Clean puncture and now she's gone
but her spell still carries on
Can't touch no one, can't get out of my shell
She left me burning in this lonely hell
Through the restless night souls wander holding on
Through these cold nights that never come to dawn
She's still my enslaver
Where's the heart that I gave her
My sweet enslaver
I hate her
Shades drawn growing lunacy staring,
staring from the abyss ahead
Longing for the sight of the face that I hate
grinding teeth, raising the dead
I get so scared of the cruel dreams I see,
scared of her shadow coming to claim me
She's still my enslaver...
I hear voices, whispers of resurrection
Sounds like tombstones corroding
Laid my love to sleep with heart impaled
but I can't escape this dark forebonding
The earth shook and the mighty angels wept
the brooms of fire sadly swept
In a flash of light all we knew was lost
no one was left to bear the cost
Parasites were fed, weak hearts had bled,
mediocres were lost between
In the end they all screamed and burned
the faulty ones laughed and died unseen
The darkness rules the molten graves alone,
where millions of fools lived in sin
All those who bowed to the unholy throne,
were to see the skull beneath the grin
Torches from hell let out their deadly scream
The demons cracked the blue sky with flames
Riding trough flesh and steel on a laser beam
ridding the unborn of their names
Iron stars in their mindless courses
corpses blown by the void
Thunder rolled with heavenly horses
as they crashed and were destroyed
The earth shook and the mighty angels wept
the brooms of fire sadly swept
Iron stars...
Voices of those who had to die in vain
can be heard echoing through the night
A useless replay of their endless pain
never finding their way to the light
The flesh is weak, the bones are brittle, the blood is thin.
I'm a father, brother, lover to all you sisters of sin.
My soul was never sold, I gave it away for free.
No conscience worries, just me.
I'm the rider of the last day.
The rider of the last day.
Better lose your dreams on me.
They were wasted anyway.
The stars are my brothers, they're calling me to shine.
Into the deep dark cold, all this emptiness is mine.
Here's my hand, take it and I'll share it all with you.
There are no saviours but one and you know who.
I'm the rider...
Bathe in the coolness of meteor rain.
Walk unscarred through the bullet hail.
Feet in the mud, fist to the sky.
Draw strength from the lightning spitting my eye.
Lost from holiness, I couldn't care less.
Drudgery for the masses of the hopeless.
Wide-eyed hypnosis, just stare your life away.
Build in my castle from your shreds,
burn it down on judgement day.
Ever constant change, timefilled space
Spacefilled time just hits right through your face
A moving picture, flame explodes and it dies
Is there a secret truth behind the veil of lies
Fly with the wind full of sigh
Fly away and let out your cry
Never forever
Through countless futures, a point to leave to the past
There's been a thousand times
Thousand times I've wondered
Is it a hand of fate
That pushes me out into the cold
And the ex-friends say
That I've hidden my feelings too deep
Truth is that I've got nothing to hide anymore
I feel myself weary and old
I've had more than my share of pain
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone
I've been on the edges of unknown
I've roamed the spaces wild and free
I've always been on my own
I can't change my ways can't you see
And now the dark is rising
And my back's to the door
I think it's time to give in
My legs won't carry me no more
I've had more than my share of pain
I wonder if I am still sane
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
A Monday morning earthquake
Another weak tooth, backache
Keep him alive for god's sake
Higher, liar when the will is the vice
I broke a mirror in his dolls house
An all night soldier of love
He swallowed down another fantasy pill
To give himself a push and a shove.
[Chorus:]
Tonight's the night he's gonna jump the moon
I hope he'll never crash and burn too soon.
He's just lit another live wire
It's just the bread we borrow
Here today like it'll be gone tomorrow
Another daylight foreigner
He's just a weekend warrior
Come on he plays life anymore
Love for pound and turned around
He only listens to the voice in his head
Than separate the truth from the lies
A wounded creature that just won't slow down
You can tell by the look in his eyes
[Chorus]
He's flying high with his silver spoon
He's really gonna try and jump for jump yeah
Jump the moon
[Chorus]
Tonight's the night he's gonna jump the moon
He's just lit another live wire
It's just the bread we borrow
I hear, I speak, counted the words all of my life.
I see, I dream, if world's a womb, I'd be the knife.
I run, I flee, your fingers just won't leave my head.
I hear you speak for those I left for dead.
I hear, I speak, the tongues are forked, the ears distort.
I see, I dream, your world's a horde against my fort.
I run, I flee, the vermin stalk within my walls.
I hear them speak their dirt within my halls.
Mother help your... UNDEAD SON
Let go of your... UNDEAD SON
Mother help your... UNDEAD SON
Let me go... UNDEAD SON
I walk, I'm dead, I'm slowly eaten from inside.
I walk this walk, been walking since I died.
Safety of the cages an the butcher's love.
They've held us down for thousands of years.
We are the despised, the cursed and the scum.
Imprisoned by their rules and their fears.
They said we're evil, and the flames will make us well.
But the cure has made us sick, can they tell?
And now we rise forevermore from the grief.
The lost! The damned!
The dead will rise for still some more.
Into their dreams.
The tribes of hell!
The dead will rise forevermore into their worth.
The lost! The damned!
The dead will rise on n' on, reborn.
Turn a rock, you'll find us.
The chains go to the deep.
We've become the wretched images of ourselves.
Our ways were mended so that we broke down.
But the machinations were left for us to pay.
They said we're evil, and the flames will make us well.
But no one should one made to suffer eternity in hell.
And now we rise forevermore from our grief.
The lost! The damned!
The dead will rise for still some more.
Into their dreams.
The tribes of hell!
The dead will rise forevermore into their worth.
The lost! The damned!
The dead will rise on n' on, reborn.
Find your scream!
Use your scream!
Assume a shape, take a wing.
An alien lover, superconducting.
On every moon and star,
I've gone too far.
[Chorus:]
I close my eyes, and I'm up there.
In the black skies and everywhere.
Bring ya sights to raise your hair.
THE PILOT, THE PILOT, THE PILOT
OF ALL DREAMS.
I've seen the wonders of the molten flesh.
The "Thing" and the "Fly" through "Predator's" eye.
At every quantum leap,
The terrors also creep.
[Chorus:]
I close my eyes, and I'm up there.
In the black skies and everywhere.
Bring ya sights to raise your hair.
THE PILOT, THE PILOT, THE PILOT
OF ALL DREAMS.
Time will take you to your grave, but still you remain.
The sum of what you were. Particles in flow.
Onward to void they go. Never free of pain.
The privilege of existence never let's you go.
[Chorus:]
God knows I love you
Meaning I love you as much as I can
How could you trust me
I should've said
I'm not the right kind of man
Don't wanna tell more lies
Don't wanna blind your eyes
We can't go on, our time has gone
Oh can't you see, oh can't you see
There is no return
Oh baby, no return
God knows it hurts me
To see how this betrayal of mine hurts you
I thought that this time
I wouldn't let you down but now I do
Don't wanna tell more lies
Don't wanna blind your eyes
Now it must be clear
You weren't even near
To my heart, lies from the start
There's no return
Oh baby, no return
You must bury your love deep
Don't let the painful cracks
Of broken heart show
But never turn cold
Tomorrow stays there always
So you'll never know
I won't tell more lies
I won't blind your eyes
But someone may and that's the way
Of no return
Screams falling out of the sky
Blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
Twisted shape of eternity
Freezing wind bites my flesh
Rips it off over the bone
Stranded in the night forever
Pain makes me scream and groan
I can no longer break the shields of my loneliness
I'm only waiting in the everlasting fortress of midwinter nights
Soul lost in anger and frustration
Darkness enters me
Ruins, decay and desolation
Are left from my world to be seen
Out in the snow with my ghosts
Howling in the woods with beasts
Blackhearted grief swells in me
Gone too far for anyone to reach
I can no longer break the shields of my loneliness
My name is forgotten, I'm only growing less
Won't you please let me in, I'll do no harm
Oh can't you see I'm in great pain
Won't you please let me in, there'll be no harm
My heart just can't bear this chain
Of midwinter nights
Screams falling out of the sky
Blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
It's how we think and how we move
And see our bodies changed.
The vibrant youth and endless love can be arranged.
Masters of the air and sea drunk with the flashlights.
At the gates of hell on the red carpet we spend our nights.
We can't tell the difference,
We've lost our destiny.
We can't tell the difference
Between magic and technology.
Seduces of the city left me drained and with infection.
The angels must yield or burn by the rules of rejection.
The lords in their highest spires, they will have to fall.
This One rises beneath them. Hungrier than all.
We can't tell the difference,
We've lost our destiny.
We can't tell the difference
Between magic and technology.
The lords in their mighty spires had better watch their feed.
The tide rises beneath them, the horde needs to eat.
We can't tell the difference,
We've lost our destiny.
We can't tell the difference
Between magic and technology.
There's a sign, there's a star,
it rises over the sea
There's a voice that calls in whisper
and it might set you free
The pain has a lesson to teach
and we always get taught
Every joy is a forbidden fruit
and we always get caught
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
Your soul is a miracle
It glows brightly to my eyes
but you won't raise your stare
to the light beyond the skies
Don't you wanna learn, don't you wanna burn
don't you wanna find out
we still have time enough
to know what it's all about
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
The days go by melting to a gray line
in the dead of the night there's a short relief
You gotta wake up, I've given you the sign
I've shown you the way, just take my hand
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
My thirst for you helps you to do me wrong
I'm afraid of you, it makes me strong
Promises of sin in a wink of an eye
Deceiving me again, I wish you would die
Keep me in chains when you go around
Still when you come
I crawl before you on the ground
Lady Deceiver
I don't know which one I lust for more
Your body or your blood all over me
In your cage I rage at the door
Opening my mind for sweet insanity
I want to crush you under my weight
You've made me mad
By being an ultimate bait
Lady Deceiver
From desire I cannot be relieved
I've forgotten the god in which I believed
All the things you say are just lies
Wish I were able to claw out your eyes
I want to crush you under my weight
You've made me mad
By being an ultimate bait
Lady Deceiver
I was crowned a king in a womb,
tore my mother apart at birth,
gnawed at my father's bones,
then gave them to the earth
Bowels of a grave turned loose,
spat out the one the reaper couldn't use.
I RULE!
I crawled into the moonlight.
The sky fixed me with its stare,
filled me with razorteeth
and covered me in hair.
Did you ever think that the stink
of the flesh I suck, would be you, sad fuck.
I RULE!
The holy insult at the face of all divine.
Purity of damnation is mine.
There's a place that I must find
in order to explode.
The hell pales beside me
as I spill my load.
Bowels of a grave turned loose,
spat out the one the reaper couldn't use.
Time to burn the inhuman torch.
Rip and slash, impale and scorch!
On the legs of lightning,
the storm rears in defeat.
Rising in vain once more with the sea.
Grey hand's reaching, cold under the swell.
Withered in the forge of our unbelief.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
Uncrusaders, heretics to all faith.
No slavery beyond death!
Every idol will feel our scourge.
They can't hold us in this life.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
The ransom of your soul must be paid for your dead.
The way out for us all: We'll take the jailer's head.
All gods want, all gods need. Their sacrifices must bleed.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
don't wake this child of lies, he sleeps here in me
now I'm just his dream
he sees things with my eyes, things he knows that can't be
floating in my mindstream
he's been betrayed by the truth, led astray by answers
bruised by all that's real
so sleep my sorrowed youth while I stand guard here
afraid you'll never heal
I wouldn't mind if he was lost
he wouldn't mind if I was free
I wouldn't mind to take the cost
strike me blind and leave me be
you are me
I wouldn't mind if he was lost
he wouldn't mind if I was free
I wouldn't mind to take the cost
strike me blind and leave me be
Sound of falling water in the deserted halls
Red light dims to extinction as the darkness falls
Circuits blocked underground, the senility of mechanical brain
No one to stop the current madness, no one to share your pain
Hear that static cracking
Through your sleep
Eaten by corrosion
Without eyes you weep
Just a rose on the grave
Rose, rose on the grave
You cannot escape the dark dreams haunting you
You've died for thousand years hoping this time it would be true
They gave you the power, by the power you were deceived
You fulfilled the order, look what you have received
Radar eyes blinded by the ancient storm
Now your mind is capable only to deform
Just a rose on the grave
We sent the word ou our coming.
We've done it many times before.
Arrive the day of our choosing.
We're hungry, we're back for more.
Tear your souls from their bodies and...
...Fall across the sky into the fear.
Cold star flies by, now we're here.
We sent the word of our coming.
You've heard it many times before.
Rise in the name of our legion.
Prepare the feast of slaughter and war.
Blinded in the land of the one-eyed.
Took a walk the day I died.
I'm a dream in a clutch of nightmares,
a coward who dares.
Afloat in the dirt underground,
the singer and the sound.
I'm the voice and the word, the prayer.
Suffocated by air.
They told me fire would burn,
but it doesn't matter anymore.
The wound in my back,
the best place for your knife to turn.
But now I know it's PAINLESS.
Pushing through the rock of future.
Still drowning in the past.
The mighty icon of stubbornes.
The iconoclast.
All skin and bones.
The flesh is just dead.
I, I, I, I grow fat with hatred.
I know pressure will blow.
Don't get caught in the blast.
From the dark into the black.
Throwbacks always have to go.
space, time and rocketjuice, suck at the bittersweet taste
light, sound, they mutate, paradoxic waste
face, grime, the ingrained humor, the black laughter drowns it all
flight, bound for event horizont, head on to the fall
got a crush on you
you'll do some time here
I will pull you through and hold you near
love binds all, it's true
I'm a dark star burning
blue sky, endless spiral, get dizzy, it's all right
these ways of your flesh are too small and thight
you, the final joining, never need another one
They knew about the curse but didn't mind
Blew up my tomb, robbed gold under my sign
I have to follow them for my pride
I'll get the peace, when they are mine
They will be dead, I'll be free
There is nothing that could save them from me
I'll wait in the shadows, those they can not flee
The death is only a way to feel
The Pharao's revenge
They don't see my shade near by the door
Now it's time to take what I have come for
I'll burn their souls for shaming my sign
blood is thicker than water but nothing beats oil
take the torch to the oil and let the blood boil
take a look at the sorry state of this place, what is it coming to
but don't dare look down on me, I've got it in for you
crawlspace, we've gotta stand up
crawlspace, the only thing we've got is just
crawlspace, we could use some help
crawlspace, help doesn't come cheap these days
walk face down through the future warxone
the Russian mob is bringing lead to the bone
there's racist vigilante, he's on his kicking crusade
I'm the wind, I'm the snow
taste me with the tip of your tongue
I need your heat
and if I have to steal it, I'll do it gently
there's no shame
my words are sweet
I've been sucking on sore hearts
knelt by the cold mountais on a starlit night
I've watched the people of this earth
seen their love, their dreams
seen them losing sight
there's a world of ice within me
a kiss is all I need and it grows in you
pregnant with all that's lost
a flower of the moon
a dream that shouldn't come true
no sorrier villain, a lover more sinister
but this one here
all of our regrets will be put away soon
Change over the suit of flesh.
Can't touch my mind with all their poisons.
Take over the white padded space.
Imprisoned spirit stays in full motion.
Hurry not endless time.
Convulsions, my bones crack.
Cannot break, will not bend.
Convulsions, fade to black.
Orgastic 'til the end.
Stay over here with me.
Some day I'll walk out the wearing your face.
Worry not, patience be.
Convulsions, my bones crack.
Cannot break, will not bend.
Convulsions, fade to black.
Orgastic 'til the end.
Convulsions, migraine head.
Insides are twisting free.
Convulsions, soiled my bed.
Behind all the empty glitter the city's a painted whore.
A mother with a concrete womb for the zombie horde.
Juices from the flesh of the living are bled to sewers.
If we gave thoughts, they are harnessed to feed the hive.
Messenger of gods
Where's the lightning, where's the thunder?
Messenger of gods
Where's the word and where's the fire?
Ooh! Where is the messenger of gods?
We need a messenger of gods.
In here just 1. equals absolutely nothing.
The machines know you, your face and your life.
Death, escape, that's why boneyards have fences.
Go read your e-mails. Junk comes to junkies.
Breat of living, heart punding, poison stinging
tiny voices, wrong choises, blood starts singing
I never had anything to lose, no touch, nor taste
my body is here for abuse, braincells for waste
sirens calling, walls falling, fists bleeding
bones cracking, scent tracking, the void is feeding
the last of me is about to go, basic primality
putting up one hell of a show, they will remember me
I'm here, this terminal case of lust upholds this prison of dust
I'm here, the sexiest god is pain, just gimme the ball and chain
I'm here, falling pround and tall on my face, reaching grace within disgrace
I'm here, at the frontline of fools, share my flesh before it cools
Prayer ain't no key.
Words aligned to make a puzzle of mind.
Never meant to make you free.
Prayer, insanity.
You compete for the never complete.
And it just won't make you see.
Pick your god from the lot, choose your stimulations.
More down there where they came from,
drunken revelations.
From the shadows of time,
the dead are singing their lies.
Their dirt is in your eyes,
no one who believes dies.
From the shadows of stones,
laughter of their rattling bones.
Their dirt will cover your eyes,
no one who believes dies.
Prayer, masked devilry.
Under the yoke of a cosmic joke.
And you just can't let it be.
Pick your god...
inhale from the barrel of my gun
swallow these words and be blown away
the spirits are here to fill me with nothing
there's no one here to keep them at bay
and I say...
no more cover-ups, no more scheming
I hear it coming kicking and screaming
the punishment, long due
the souls convulse together, I'll never be throung with you
the promises under the hammer of time
they're in pieces but you never heard them break
now the dreams are voided, the threats are real
come to an understanding with the mutual hate we feel
and I say...
no more...
I drink from the life of your soul
and laugh at the wraith punched with holes
you had the same idea, I'm sorry but I'm still here
so gimme the kiss of life and death my dear
I say...
I may no longer be your friend
but this much I know.
I'm still me.
Away you turn if you are scared.
Walk into the black.
Yeah, I'm still me.
You, forgotten you, forsaken you, forever you!
You had the nerve to say,
that I've lost the way.
I'm still me.
After losing sanity,
together you and me,
guess who still walks free. It's not...
You, forgotten you, forsaken you, forever you!
This anger, with hunger.
You've chosen to hold on
to your bitter needs.
You lost yourself somewhere.
Blamed me for not being there,
not loving a stranger, that was...
You, forgotten you, forsaken you, forever you!
The skies are open, smell of a danger in the air
We ride in the northwind over the mountains without a care
Adventures calling beyond the faraway stars
The battles has been won, falling enemies ships on fire
Diving through the void, the wings are spread to take us higher
No place to call home in underworld or sky
Living on the edge, looking danger into the eye
Flying towards the stars so bright
Straight into the heart of the night
Wings of darkness carrying the spirits of us
The skies are open for atomic Vikings to roam
And when the quest is ended, Vallhalla will then be our home
No place is safe from us in underworld of sky
the pround son of proud fathers, the feared and fearless me
soldier of harmageddon, I was born to fly free
now they see a wasted resource, I'm banished, I'm scorned
lonely in my rusty shell a restless mind hellspawned
warhead...
they've marched with banners and they've torn down the wall
onware to new tomorrow, it illuminates them all
I was left anone to sulk in ther rift they had to heal
forgotten threat still lives on in this body of steel
warhead...
they say they'll make a deal, trying to pull the very last fang
they think that I'm asleep but I'm ready to make a bang
they thought to guar against the coming of the judgement day
I'll just say let there be light and there'll be hell to pay
warhead...
nothing really maters now, the weak they just complain
do they thin their lives somehow have any worth to gain?
naked in the blast like flies, they'll leave an oily stain
Hundred lashes!
-The battles are fought outside.
Count your blessings!
-The war is in the head.
Hundred lashes!
-Try to suffer less than learn.
Count your blessings!
-I try to be fair with both.
Hundred lashes!
-Walk proud to the pole.
Count your blessings!
-The seconds are really short.
Hundred lashes!
-Don't forget how to breathe.
Count your blessings!
-They'll carry you away.
I won't stand your cowering.
Your selfpity disgusts me.
And here you're just wallowing in you feces.
You're a traitor...to your species.
I want my secrets kept.
The hand's hard for the curious.
Iron grip, the whip flies furious!
I won't stand...
You're a traitor...to your species.
I want my secrets kept.
Oh, I see your face as if in a dream.
Eyes where the shadows drown.
Frozen in a frown.
And I feel like paper burning free.
The wind is shattering me.
I'm the sky, I'm the sea.
Walk for now.
Endless days alive somehow.
Staring, dreaming, cold rain, skin steaming.
Just some fog in my eyes.
Tides in my blood follow the pale moon
drawing my soul to the skies.
Standing here, where a dream once had a home.
Emptiness now calls,
where hope crumbled with the walls.
And I feel like dust, lighter than air.
Winged by the smallest prayer.
Destination anywhere.
Walk for now.
Endless days alive somehow.
Keeping pace.
Staring, dreaming, cold rain, skin steaming.
Just some fog in my eyes.
Tides in my blood follow the pale moon
drawing my soul to the skies.
Stars, they're skywide, forever burn.
The night falls in the forest and the light fades away
The wind cries over the snowy plains as I wait for another day
The circles of thought don't turn
The candles cease to burn
I'm left alone the darkness that fills my heart
I hear kind of weeping, small voice but a great pain
The pool of my soul fills with tears that come in rain
There's no one to save the light
But you, who cast me into the night
There is no rescue from the state in which I am now
Just because of you I've come to know them all
I have become one of the things that crawl at night
The frost grows on your window at the touch of my icy fingertips
I come to give you a kiss to suck the warmth from your lips
And I just slip away
As the night turns into a new day
I've seen the marvels of the molten flesh
I've smelt the wired nerves burn
I've been at the barriers of endless time
I've felt the knives of pleasure turn
the bloodless wounds pulsing with energy
crack myself open, I'll have to set it free
in me... the scourger
there are things I never thought I would see
the shredded one will say all right? the scourger
the better me fell to the blight, I was cursed anyway
I've ripped my nails climbing the razorwalls
I've grown new ones of steel
I've skipped the conscience and it's nagging calls
I've thrown over th unreal
the third eye, the lizard mind cries victory
I've never ceased to wonder
at the strangeness of my days
Cruelty and tenderness hand in hand
interlocking by mysterious ways
Sometimes I've seen beyond the scape of our dreams,
beyond the gold at the rainbows end
and I've seen empitiness striving to be filled
a plain longing for a friend
I've been hanging on here, dreaming of the other side,
sometimes I've been so near, near the invisible hand
We are born to the times that change so fast,
and we can't trust the way we were feeling
The need for truth is strong within us all,
but so many times we'll face a hidden meaning
So many have fallen to insanity,
thinking they could draw and cross the line
leaving others behind and ending up believing
in the exclusive right for the grand design
I've been hanging on here, dreaming of the other side,
sometimes I've been so near, near the invisible hand
Ive seen the light that shines on, flashing through the other side
fraction of a second then gone back to the invisible hand
Where am I going, where did I come from,
Ive been longing for your freedom, please
I can feel the poison
In the pulse pounding straight trough my head
Feel the fever, its in me, in this heart of lead
I can feel some strange things
Crawling their way under my skin
The line I'm hanging on wears dangerously thin
Now I can see, your love twisted me,
you'll never be free of me,
I'll see the colour of your blood
The colour of your blood on my hands
The colour of your blood
The face of the moon turns colder,
a grinning skull with bleeding eyes
knowing that it ain't real, I'm glad to believe in lies
The death comes so tempting
My hand feels so good holding some steel
The reason why you can't live, the hurt you made me feel
Now I can see, what your love did to me,
you'll never be free of me,
I'll see the colour of your blood
I'm a man with no flesh
Your betrayal stripped me to the bone
But I won't be resting until your life is blown
Now I can see, what your love did to me,
you'll never be free of me,
Did you see the black snow falling?
Did you see the grey sky bleed?
Have you felt the fear that's growing?
Born out of a senseless greed
This world keeps on turning
For us? I don't know
Down here too few are learning
too few and a way too slow
Blinded led by the chains held by whoever that reigns
Innocence lies with the dead, out with their remains
Did we want to be the chosen
No, forced by the creed
Did we have to be the chosen
No, what do we need, do we smile or bleed
There are those who stare with a snake eyes
asking to join their cause
Lost souls who live to hypnotize
tricked themselves by a devious force
Starnger may walk the cold streets
of your hometown
Hand on his heart that never beats,
wearing a barbed wire crown
Is the truth for us to say, are we been taken away
When the world turns black, the price will be ours to pay
Did we want to be the chosen
No, forced by the creed
Did we have to be the chosen
No, what do we need
Can you place your trust in this world unjust
Affections misplaced expose it twofaced
Hearts of stone, ice cold, stupidity so bold
It's easy to drown, the highest walls come down...
We live with rage, conditioned and natural, that is all
Another closed page, that's where all these victories will fall
This deadly lure, the eerie song of the sirens, we hear the call
We are the cure, we're worse than the disease
because we see what we've ceased to be, that is all
These times walk over us ripping us off the frames
Only wind stays to whisper all those forgotten names
of those who shared our tears of steel
Mercenary instinct, inbread domination ready to flare
Our pain is distinct, supressed with an effort of will
but always there
Blood crusted heands, signals of fear which we almost can't bear
The balckened sands from a thousand holocausts, we are to blame,
we drown with our shame and we don't care
We walk with madness which we are to enforce
We will be back again on our lonely course
Once again we'll rape with tears of steel
We're made of power which no one can deny
Our humanity was just another lie
You weren't bor out of time, the time went out on you
Stare into the mirror, see yourself broken in two
The ropes you thought you held are at your neck
biting into your skin
There's no compromise, dying is a way of living
Who do you blame for the pain that's been inflicted
Four walls around, you inside, but the air's been evicted
Living in the sunken graves, corpses for company
Sunken graves
Sunken graves, groundworks of misery
Sunken graves
What's behind your downfall? Too many bolted doors
Do those who locked them see you walking on all fours?
Pride overridden by a feather, an easy prey
Here's a cruel joke: every dog has it's day
Feeding on crap has become an emptyheaded reflex
Here's your contract, read and weep
you signed it with an
Living in the sunken graves... Heartsoil of misery
You're trying to ignore your mouth that's filled with mud
Trying to get drunk from the bitter menstrual blood
The only transparent wall is the hardest to break trough
Who did this to ya, who? Nobody but you
I see the hill
scattered to horizons
They've haunted my dreams
for a long time
The bones of ancestors
lay unrestful
They're calling me
to their shrine
And I struggle
With the season before the snow
The ground is hard with ice
the road beckons, I'll follow
Home must be left
to know the longing
The toes will grow numb
from the frost
I used to know
where I was heading for
Somewhere, somehow
it just got lost
I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
Wheels of fire wild at play
spinning, ascending
To learn that there's more than
just to live and die
Some love would be sweet
before the final ending
I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
The pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
To know there's more
than just to live and die
I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace
To the state of grace
Oh iron, the taker of men
Gray glitter through the blood and rust
Your blade will fall again
Your spell will turn men into the dust
The spell of iron
Born from the heart of the earth
The spell of iron
Your death is promised by your birth
The spell of iron
Oh iron, you are a murder
You taste the life-force and eat it away
As we cross the lines of a border
We know that some of us will not see a new day
Oh iron, it is your bite
That drains our blood and gives us death
You give us the eternal night
Tonight the wind comes from afar
with a distant call
Scent of valleys and fields
in early fall
There's ache in my heart
a mystery deep within the bones
She lays beside me asleep
She sometimes softly moans
Everything I do, every word I say
they're solid by the light of day
The night fills with dreams
I wish them real
There is no deeper way to feel
Oh, to feel
Does she understand
if I'm distant and feeling lost
Hiding inside one's self
is not dishonest
My fingers are not crossed
sometimes I don't feel
as good or strong
as I would like to be
I'd bring peace to her heart
if I could find some also for me
Everything I do, every word I say
they're solid by the light of day
The night fills with dreams
I wish them real
There is no deeper way to feel
Ooh...
Hear this Holy word, let it burn the world.
Slaves must be abused, put to use, blackened blues.
Bloodsucker charisma, in thrall we're one and all.
Worthless, let 'em drown, take control, crush 'em down.
The light that bleeds out of the
Wrists of the madmen makes me
See I can only trust the dark.
The light that's bleeding out of
They're eyes will burn us with their mark.
I CANNOT SLEEP BUT IN THE DARK.
Husks of holy hate want you to dehydrate.
Madness they've followed through now hollows you.
Brought into battlefield angels disintegrate.
Sent in this place that'll crush you,
Maim you, break you, you too.
The light that bleeds out of the
Wrists of the madmen makes me
See I can only trust the dark.
The light that's bleeding out of
They're eyes will burn us with their mark.
I CANNOT SLEEP BUT IN THE DARK.
Walk the righteous road road and never stray.
There's only circles of hell to pay.
Be sure to send down
MANY BEFORE YOU AND YOU'LL BE OK.
The light that bleeds out of the
Wrists of the madmen makes me
See I can only trust the dark.
The light that's bleeding out of
They're eyes will burn us with their mark.
I've been fasting face to the dawn
from the desert of thoughs only prayers will cary on
I've been waiting knees in the sand
will there be time enough for me to understand?
I've been breathing the air of high pass
the cold reaches into my bones turning me to glass
I've been bleeding but the cup's not filled
I hope to see into it now, see my heart stilled
far and away from here I'd lie down to find some rest
something whispers in my ear, the hurt has found a place to nest
shining black... I see you now
shining black... you're made of steel
shining black...
I've been fighting the worm of despair
the hollowed me is losing strength, maybe I don't care
the demon whispers in my ear the hurt has found a home here
I've been living so long in a very short time
Who knows my face, who knows my name
they are changing almost day by day
and all I've got comes down in shame
I'm getting closer slippin' to the darkest side
How soon the party's gonna end
I'm getting closer slidin' out of the day
fallin' faster with every coin I spend
Shame
The time is flying with growing sense of decay
and I keep telling myself it's okay
I've been drowning with booze and dirty women
found no salvation, my head keeps on swimming
I'm getting closer slippin' to the darkest side
The wreckage is already in sight
I'm getting closer slidin' out of the day
Somehow I gotta find more will to fight
Shame
Ooh, it's sucking me in
the more I fight, the more it grips
Ooh, it's sucking me in
Please don't, don't hurt me this way
I can't go on
If there's nothing but yesterday
Please lord, I'm pleading on my knees
I'd search the skies for her
I'd cross the seven seas
I am breaking apart
The darkness spreads
From the shadow of my heart
There was no reason
No reason for us to depart
The mold is black
Like the shadow in my heart
So cold is this solitary disgrace
Am I losing my mind
The despair of my face
My heart behind a weeping door
Carries the wounds of love
Open, bleeding and sore
From the darkness
I hear your song twisting my mind
Laying me into the deepest grave
Poison so kind
I will be by your side
Out of the time stream
I'll hold the light
That shows the way
Just a few letters from the earth.
Corporate policies, corrupt politics.
Suckle the hate from birth.
Transparent fools with coloured views.
No god will take a side in this anthill war.
Got plenty of drones eager to take the fail.
I beleive that the Satan is dead.
And we race to take his place.
We have seen that the Satan is dead.
Rest in peace, we got your disease.
Put up a fence for me to look over.
The sheep are evil with the grass more green.
Got to have a barbecue.
I want my piece, the smoke and the grease.
No god will take a side in this anthill war.
Puppet at the front goes down, they put on one more.
(Chorus)
The empty throne awaits in hell, it won't be long.
'Til one will rise to claim the horns for one more head.
Ane we will feel no slightest change. It always hurts to burn.
But the business still stays cool.
The touch of your body still lingers on my hands
I can feel them burning
Like acid, poured down on me,
the rains steams off my skin
Imaginary visions like broken mirrors,
the shards are in my brain
I know you'll be waiting, rolling on the sweaty sheets,
waiting for me again and again
The wet dirt grinds between concrete and my feet
the voice of my passion gets higher
Drowning my senses my blood starts to roar
for the need to embrace your fire
I race through the alleys and the realms of shame
carrying the blazing aura of aggression
I used to be free, now I can't think straight
you're blinding obsession
In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love
I remember the sunlight, I hate it now
for making my face look so pale
There's no more reason behind my actions,
I'm a wolf on the same old trail
In my blood...
Eyes turn blind, she whips my mind
Enslaved to her needs, she takes my body
and she feeds
