Left! Right!
Eyes forward!
The infinite must be
controlled (by lesser men).
A raging chaos burns inside.
Pay tribute, kneel before his throne;
Death; Supreme divinity.
Master; Death.
Imperial
Lord
Insanity
"See these bright young men and women gladly go to face the unseen trials of what our enemy might have in store for them.
There is no terror too great for these aspiring youths, marching onward to protect our joyful future for the love of God and Country."
Prepare the sacrifice;
The firstborn is the lamb.
Consume the offspring;
The innocent and the weak.
Caesar Caligula we yield to thee.
Caesar Caligula;
Raise the dead to hear them scream again
It's a prize in its own right
Equal in death at last,
with no exceptions made
There's no escape in this and
that's how it ends
This is my ceremony
A blood rite to spite your kind
Smalltown kings and queens
Falling over-it's so concealed.
So let this day remain and linger
(until) the memories come crawling your way
Sinking deeper, closer to who you were
The pain will truthfully bring you home
This is my ceremony
A blood rite to spite your kind
A fire burning deep within me
Become stone in time
sink it into oblivion, endless.
Crawl
Become the master of this pyramid
Venom
Runs like blood through you veins
The more you deny it
the closer it gets
Resisting is futile,
this ends in a coffin kiss.
This is my ceremony
A blood rite to spite your kind
Desensitized. A living scar.
The Painful darkness shrouds my mind.
I´ve gazed into my deformed self:
Tormented and set ablaze.
Under the surface - there are wounds that never heal.
Under the surface - where the demons take control.
So numb and cold. A living void.
Strife, fight, regain control to end this agony.
I´ve gazed into my deformed self:
Tormented and set ablaze.
Cannot ease this pain called living.
Something inside me has died.
I succumb to the pain.
Fighting this long-lost battle.
Struggling in vain.
Something within me has died.
I succumb to the dark.
Drain the life blood from my veins,
Once again I've lost my way.
Going nowhere fast, I dread the return.
Spend my days in this self-made cage.
Where my soul can dwell,
and my loneliness is thriven far to well.
All and none of the answers I've found.
Alone I stand on hollow ground.
Too many years have passed.
Too much blood has been spilt.
I realize it's my destiny, my will.
Things aren't always what they seem
As the scars on my skin will show
On hollow ground I stand
On hollow ground repent
The sins were mine. I'm gone, I know.
Dazed and weakened by the haze.
Went nowhere fast, I dread the return.
I've lost my ways, am I losing my mind?
Conjuring up the demons from the fiery pits of hell.
Slithering serpents of the underworld release their
black worm seed.
Enthralled by the falling star, watch the
daylight fail.
Impelled by twisted vengeance, fortify the armies
of the dead.
Brooding Darkness spreads his wings.
The usurper of the throne.
The world burns in penal fire.
Awakening the spirits of the dead.
The world turns, forged in fire.
Rising..the souls of the damned.
Ravished by the malice, which exceeds your darkest dreams.
Embraced by a sulphur sky, take leave of your mortal flesh.
All life expired.
Our visions dead.
All hope expired.
Painful struggle: (you're) tangled in my web.
Hogtied and worn like a crown on my head.
A notion to move is a motion to burn.
Dare a spark into flames, then roasted they'll learn.
You know there's nowhere to escape
It's carved in stone I own your fate
Mute aggression, perpetuate...silencer.
A non-believer will be pistol whipped
Dropped in the hole then endlessly ripped
You better step back, you better toe the line
Don't twitch or stray, don't you fall behind.
Excessive appetite to capitalize
Another set of morals to realize
Face down, pinned to the ground
It's all justified and sound
Know your place and bow down
What's good for me is good for you
You better accept the facts as true.
Gag the suspects who speak their own mind
The truth is what I say, and not what you find
With a firing-squad's diplomacy
Show state-of-art insincerity.
You know there's nowhere to escape
It's carved in stone, I own your fate
Your dependency I advocate
Worn out - A broken, fucked-up
mind. An empty shell of life con-
scious, breathing, feeling. Forced
on society's back - nailed to the
freakshow cross.
Submissive lever raging through
the veins. Distorting the values
set by us all. You've lost all con-
trol. Immoral machines all pleas-
ure & greed.
Shadow World
Liquify the senses and inhale the
poison. A way to find the path to
divinity. Arise from filth, always
fought for what you believed in
The crystal saviour will help you
on your way
Distorting the values set by us
all. You've lost all control
Immoral machines of pleasure &
greed.
Shadow World
Slipping away into a twisted state
of grace. The pain ignites my
growth. Nightmare closing in,
bleeding and begging for an end
to come. The spawn of a shadow
world. Shadow world. Distorting
the values set by us all. You've
lost all control. Immoral
machines of pleasure & greed.
One last try. Unfinished promise,
reach down deep inside.
I give up the day I die
at least this pains mine!
We all die!
You and I!
Live a life
or live a lie!
No retreat, no giving in,
no spiritual surrender.
Face the facts. You're life is pain,
you're lost inside your mind.
We all die!
You and I!
Live a life
or live a lie!
So now you know,
life's lesson has taught me well
I have no hopes.
Worn down,
broken and beat by society's lies.
New pride,
found in the struggle of your survival.
We all die!
You and I!
Live a life
or live a lie!
So now you know,
life's lesson has taught me well
I have no hopes.
Facing yourself.
Realize that you're nothing.
Through the eyes of despair,
a new fire rises.
Life lived uncompared,
you set your own standards.
In one final statement;
Do what thou wilt...!
So now you know,
life's lesson has taught me well
I have no hope...
Demonseed,
Voices break the silence. Shadows
infect the white-clad walls. Death is
breathing down your neck.
Yoy try ty flee. Forced into submis-
sion. You try to repent. A strip of
tape that kills the screams. You
know this is the end. Surgical steel
twist the flesh. The hand of doom
carves out the mesh.
D.O.A.
- What more when you're dead on arrival?
- What more when you're dead on arrival?
Doped up soul-Senses numb.
Fluids burst into flames. Every high
is a new low. In these vermin-infest-
ed streets. Chained to the altar of
debt. The breed of your sins. Nailed
to the cross of guilt. The spawn of
your greed. A strip of tape that kills
the screams. A deep inspired - The
circle is complete.
D.O.A.
- What more when you're dead on
arrival?
- What more when you're dead on
arrival?
- What more when you're dead on
The streets of broken dreams await
the darkness. To bring new souls
along for the ride. Another statistic
on the sidewalk. Found his peace at
last. In your stare, lost innocence.
Seen all the misery of this world.
Lonely ghosts escaping a dismal
past
Another statistic on the sidewalk
Found this peace at last.
It's my final bloodletting
In your stare, lost innocence. Seen
all the misery of this world. The
hangman's laughter echoes in the
alleys of the dead.
Put an end to the manic frustration.
Find my peace at last. Put an end to
this manic frustration.Find my peace
at last.
Shed the blood that runs through my
veins. Bloodletting. When you bleed
seek salvation in me. When you bleed
Crawl inside it
Become the sickness
Drink it
Elevate the threshold
Destroy the mind
And you suffocate
You learn to hate yourself
And take on the blame
As it burns
(Sweeping the ghosts away)
(But they keep coming back)
And it burns
(The sky is turning red)
It burns
(We're right at the end)
And it's all dead quiet at the centre of the pain
Tighten the noose
Ascend the scaffold
And give in
Assume the position
Bow down your head
A ritual to purify
Undo what is
Absolve
Everlasting the torture
How precise. I see that you finally caught on.
I am an inconsiderate bastard on most accounts.
I plead guilty, now that it's all out war.
Let's make it clear, you were never more than a lousy score.
We miss out by default.
I'm not even trying that hard.
Outside, let's see you carry your own.
This is no surprise.
It's not that I never told you,
we both know I did.
I'm sick of the intricate confusion you lay like bait,
from here to anywhere but you.
(Or where you stand.)
Did you really think I'd make a change to suit your skin.
I don't quite fit your precious little cage.
No more distractions.
Why waste a perfect day,
on your decay.
So this the first time I'm not lying when I said I'm fine.
Cause I'm sick,
sick of being sick.
Sick of being told what or who I am
I'm worth it-every single act of love that comes my way.
Did you really think I'd make a change to suit your skin.
I don't quite fit your precious little cage.
I will not break myself
Give it away, watch it turn - there's nothing I can do
for you
These are my very last and don't we all know it...
As chemistry turns into crime
I'm helplessly watching it die
You were never supposed to be
someone who'd get this close
This is not my victory
Get your sickness away from me
Accusations in velveteen
Tear it up, tear it open and lay it beside me...
Show me a way, something frail
gimme one reason to break these chains
I played your very last - all your desires
But something inside of me broke
I used to be more than this...
You were never supposed to be
someone who'd get this close
This is not my victory
Get your sickness away from me
Accusations in velveteen
Tear it up, tear it open and lay it beside me...
Together we fall
Together we fail
Drain me from all life inside
I will hurt you ever so carefully
We will breathe in unison through an ironlung
for the lost things we become
I'll be your crown of thorns
you'll be my cross to bear
I'm sick.
I can see it now
clear as daylight
So fucking what?
Keep your opinions and leave me out
Paint it red
burn the bitch
Let her serve herself
The pain is real
it's all true I was there
Going insane's overrated
I was right all along
You're all the monsters
I am the normal one
So here I am and yes
I'm fine fucking fabulous allright
(Somehow) I'll make it out alive
no matter how...
The medication knocks the edge right off
and every step away
from feeling this is beauty in its own right
The sidetracks
and your skilled manipulation of my senses
left me down - but I've been down before...
Pigs are a noble creature
compared to scum like you,
but I'm certain there's
one out there left to chew
The medication knocks the edge right off
and every step away
from feeling this is beauty in its own right
The sidetracks
and your skilled manipulation of my senses
left me down - but I've been down before...
Ain't nothing you could say -
Ain't nothing you could do
Ain't nothing there at all for you
Suppose I could make you see
Would it make a change?
Well, come inside and burn
The medication knocks the edge right off
and every step away
from feeling this is beauty in its own right
The sidetracks
and your skilled manipulation of my senses
Generic, symbolic bullshit
Simplified, cliche rehash
It's all streamlined, adjusted to match
Pimped-up junk rides and a minimum life span
Consider a truth (and you hate it)
It's all just a game to you (so you lose)
I'll give you a clue (a foul taste to prove)
If you do what they pay you to do - what are you?
A common thief should feel more pride than you
Washed out, dumbed down crash site
No brain conceptional straight faced lies
An army of well-dressed mannequins
House-broke clones without a clue as to why and what
for...
The harder you fight it (the more you lose)
Because it's all right there (in the fine print)
Never mind how you go about it
The sad truth; it's just a part of the process...
A common thief should feel more pride than you
Move - move the goods
Cold skin clings to my face,
more dead than alive.
Spend your days without a trace,
fed up with the lies.
I'm one of the few undead,
I've seen through the lies,
live life hanging by a thread.
I'm evil undisguised.
Cut the strings that tie you down,
refuse to play the clown.
Bite every hand that feeds,
make sure society bleeds.
I'm one of the few undead,
I've seen through the lie.
Life hanging by a thread,
I'm evil undisguised...
Do you know how it feels,
staring down the barrel of a gun,
everyday more or less the same,
just a wait `til your days are done,
work your fingers to the bone,
grind your body underneath the stone,
stains of red flash across your back,
seize the power to return the attack...
I've seen through all the lies.
I'm evil undisguised...
If you wonder what drove me insane,
take a look at my scars.
They go deeper than the skin,
so with a gun I'm back to win.
I'm one of the few undead,
I've seen through the lie.
Life hanging by a thread,
I'm evil undisguised...
Don't hold your breath fort a new revolution
The future is wasted on petty fraud
A grade A average with perfect skin
Fight for a freedom of choose, between shit and more shit
Truth, to what use? Trust, whom to?
Within these confinements, a word will spread like fire
So stand your ground, choose your direction
Who will decide? Facing the facts, the lie
Who will decide? These are the victims, these are the crimes
Who will decide? If you give up the fight, who will decide?
Exploit, suck out the marrow, suck out the bones
Drain it, a negative image
Roots upturned, a palace of mirrors
So stand your ground, choose your direction
Who will decide? Facing the facts, the lie
Who will decide? These are the victims, these are the crimes
Who will decide? If you give up the fight, who will decide?
Social movement my ass, most of us can barely read
And the rest all believe in the gospel of corporate truth
Skewered and screened infotainment to uphold
And magnify the frail myth of modern democracy
We all know the construction and why it prevails
So stand your ground, choose your direction
Who will decide? Facing the facts, the lie
Who will decide? These are the victims, these are the crimes
Familiar as I may seem
I wish I had never been here before
The re-occurring pattern of dysfunctional
The power and control
It’s not as if I’m new to any of this
But I wish there was a way
To reach your inside
And set you free
And so it stays unseen
Under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust
It’s never going to change
You were the one
I was supposed to turn to
When I need someone
And I realize that I’m powerless
But at least I’m not alone
So turn your screws on any which way
Cause I’m not playing along
You carry this like a trophy
When you could have been so strong
But I am not the one to judge you anymore
I promise you
And so it stays unseen
Under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust
I bind unto myself
today the strong name of the trinity
Crypt of despair
the old man is there
forming a circle of magic and prayers
Guarding the well
the black hole to hell
its evil must never arise I can tell
Holy mission
forever he's sworn
to protect our world from hatred and scorn
He will not fear
though the Sabbath is near
twelve strokes for Candlemass darkness descends
[Chorus]
"Break the circle and all hell comes loose
the well of souls must stay sealed
Ancient force of light against the dark
the well of souls must stay sealed"
Black wind turns out the candles
the air grows cold and threatening
Dark shadows wicked laughter
brings darkness to your heart
Behold the goat of Mendes
red burning evil eyes
Lord's prayer holy water
only faith can save you now
Disharmony, satanic serenade
Black symphony, a tribute to the plague
The twisted souls awakened by the chanting
Unchained at last, rise, they will now rise
A new day's dawn, holy light
Sunlight redeems
slays the dark, warms and heals, makes you
see nightmares' terror is back in your dreams
Sleep well my friend 'cause
this tale's now to end, don't
believe our world is as safe's we pretend
[Chorus]
"Break the circle and all hell comes loose
the well of souls must stay sealed
Ancient force of light against the dark
Save me. I've served my time in hell.
Cleanse me. Release me from the pain.
Bludgeoned and battered. Tears trickle from your mind.
Gaping wounds from the razor-sharp attack.
Something is pulling me down.
A final descent.
Victimized.
A trail of crimson from your eyes.
Eternal scourge.
I crucify your hope.
Violated - struggling in the cold.
Aggrevated - I'm the thorn in your side.
Something is pulling me down.
Too late to repent.
Victimized.
A trail of crimson from your eyes.
Eternal scourge.
I crucify your hope.
Victim iced.
A trail of crimson from your eyes.
A simple murder won't satisfy my taste for death.
Surge of hatred. You drown in the darkness of my eyes.
Razor-sharp desire cutting deep.
Sature the souls of a virgin land.
A nation on its knees by its own naive
beliefs. Feasting on the flesh of our starving
whore. Idly looking on as it bites once
more. Fallen sanctuary stripped off. God,
now worship dogs. Where porno mags
replaces the bible. Who can save us now?
Self-inflicted madness. Run in circles,
come on catch your tail. He's gone hunting,
hunting for humans. Our urban carnivore.
Stone! The one who speaks of justice.
Rape! The one who cries for freedom. Exit
the dreams of full remorse. Enter the urban
predator. Exit the dreams of full remorse.
Enter the urban predator. Still we want our
shit to add up.
Just don't like what it adds up to.
Society's fading foes were first in line &
last to know.
Concede the surplus killing. Clear the
table now roll the dice. Pass the matches,
join the feast. Utopia in flames. Time is the
fire in which we burn. Home, depraved and
tainted from the life we lead. Exit the
dreams of full remorse. Enter the urban
predator. Exit the dreams of full remorse.
Ravished by the urban predator. Concede
the surplus killing. Clean the table now roll
the dice.
Pass the matches, join the feast. Utopia
alight.
Exit the dreams of full remorse
Enter the urban predator
Exit the dreams of full remorse
Ravished by the urban predator
Exit the dreams of full remorse
Enter the urban predator
Enter the urban predator
Tampering with the codes to our existense.
The blasphemy will take its toll.
With blood on their hands, they alter our perception of reality.
Morticians clad in white seek their prey.
Compassion is left behind.
In their search for a controllable mind.
Trespassing on sacred realms.
Sustaining the dying breed.
They will eradicate the features of man's weaknesses.
Delete, improve the versions of ourselves.
Try to cure us from the disease, we're dethroned and left to bleed.
Human nature's shedding skin.
We're all just shedding skin...
Creating but bitter repercussions.
We're disarmed of all control.
With blood on their hands, they alter our perception of reality.
Who are these people?
Where do they come from?
Are they some extra-terrestrial breed of super fool?
What was is not
For fuck's sake let it go!
The past is dead
this is now,
And it's all gone like that.
Can't you see you were beat?
And every time you repeat your firm belief
You're only digging yourself deeper down
the trenches we left behind
If only the strong survive
how the hell is it you're still here?
Your ignorance only exceeded
by your complete lack of human skills
So slow
Oh slower still
The paradox in your claims to a force of will
Can't you see you were beat?
And every time you repeat your firm belief
You're only digging yourself deeper down
the trenches we left behind
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the biggest fuck up of all?
It's getting ridiculous
and we're all supposed to play along.
We're all potential for the bank,
and we don't bleed no
different shade of red.
All my life I've been lonely
for no good reason
Selfdefense or murder of first degree.
Tell me who are you to pass judgement.
Raise my hand in anger,
a just cause, to pacify the aggressor at all cost.
So what is the law?
When all else fails, there's nothing left.
Given a choice.
Stand back or suffer the consequences.
Three times,
my fist came down.
So what is the law?
When all else fails, there's nothing left.
Given a choice.
Stand back or suffer the consequences right now.
[spoken]
I refuse to be victimized, or given your pathetic fucking powertrip.
You're not looking to kill anyone, you just want to display how big and
strong you are.
Well, check again motherfucker!
Do you think that you'll live forever?
I have no qualms about mortalizing your arse!
Check again motherfucker!
You're in the real world now.
So how does that feel for a change?
How does it feel to be the victim?
Victim..victim...victim
Twisted indifference,
Violence against violence.
Destroy resistance.
Violence against violence.
Selfdefense or murder at first degree.
Tell me who are you to pass judgement?
Cold reality, suffer the ultimate truth.
Die motherfucker!
So what is the law?
When all else fails, there's nothing left.
Given a choice.
Stand back or suffer the consequences right now.
Three times,
three times
There is no real way out, no I'm still in here fighting
I've been losing forever, destroying myself in spite
Grind my teeth
Breaking myself
I nurtured a snake
So keep your misery and wellput sympathies
I am not your alibi (I am not the one)
God knows I loved you so
There's nothing left
Here take it all, I'm so disgusted I can't take no more
Keep it all - good fucking riddance
I hate myself just fine alone
I know just how to hold my own
I gave you my all
So keep your misery and wellput sympathies
I am not your alibi (I am not the one)
God knows I loved you so
There's nothing left
With everything you said
Every time you lied
Every single step
I knew you'd come around and show me who you are
Leave me with the scars
I've been waiting for you
With every single lie
The stains you left
behind
I'll never close my eyes again
You're nothing
I am not your alibi
God knows I loved you so
Easy now
Don’t give yourself away
Don’t let them know you’re breaking
These are wolves and they carry no sympathies
Don’t look down
These are but minor details
Hopefully they’ll keep you alive
Don’t let them see you’re breaking
Achieve to justify
Pearls before swine
No more hesitation
No more slipping away
No more waiting for a loving grace
You will crawl
Let’s not get personal
You will serve an example to others
A skull at the gates to mark who’s the king
We learn from falling down
A willingness grows from defeat
To mock the ordinary punk
And see if you still got it in you
Did you cry? I wept like a child
In final acceptance to my own mortality
Fuck your pride, it will be your downfall
Easy now
Go lightly these are tricky times
We don’t need much fuel to feed the fire
No more hesitation
No more slipping away
No more waiting for a loving grace
Easy now
Go lightly these are tricky times
She was a little girl and I was only just learning to
crawl
I would call her name to see her beautiful eyes glow
Look at me
Look at me
They tell you to hold on and say that one day you'll
understand
Well I'm still waiting
I'm still here
I want something more
Something kind
Something pure
She was a little jonesy, oh I should know
He was a little backwards man with nothing much to show
And everything she said would leave me cold
And everything he did leads to nowhere
It all amounts to this...
All this time I never knew who you really were
We pass it down, it keeps repeating
We break and run, we keep deceiving
I am becoming - I am become
I am becoming - I am the one
I am reflection
I am the sun
I am the shadow
I am the gun
I want something more
Something kind
[bonus track]

Welcome!
Remember, the first step towards failure is trying.
Destruction is a meticulous task and must be handled
with great care.
A device for mutual deception and self-abuse.
Rejection and indifference all redeeming values must be
eliminated.
Please keep in mind at all times - faith is the enemy.
Constructing patterns of degrading punitive nature
is of the essence in the profuse altercation of
personality.
Desensitizing and erasing potential patterns of
reparation.
Envy, alienation, and or course self pity.
Supplying the tools of negative identification is
imperative
to implicate the positives versus destructive behavior
and in effect replacing instinct with arrogance.
Implementing a strategy
of resentment and constant comparison.
Search flaws and errors in others
to subconsciously obtain the perfect alibi
for merciless floggings of the self
And pass judgement -
like spreading seeds for grudge and spite.
Repeat after me: I am useless, others are useless.
The deteriorating self is a perfect tool
In the hands of oppressive and totalitarian thought.
War is peace.
Thank you for listening.
Come inside.
Close your eyes.
If you have something you cherish, leave it behind.
Now you belong to me.
We'll never part.
Never.
I carved your name across my heart,
Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions
The structure's true foundations rest within you
The price we pay for sheer indifference
Surrendered self - you're discount spare parts
You give up your rights for your limitations
And abandon all hope
One step further down the line as the flood begins to
rise
You're on your knees faking ambition
Now close your eyes and bleed
I know there are things from the past that should never
be brought back
The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges
In simplified inane depictions of a different world
A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them
As you give up your rights for your limitations
And lay down your arms
One step further down the line as the flood begins to
rise
You're on your knees faking ambition
Now close your eyes
In the darkest corner of my mind I see a boy with a
crooked smile
With a crown made of tinsel and glassbeads on a wire
Singin a song out of tune
Now if you believe I'll bleed for you
And if I could bleed
Well, so could you
Close your eyes and pretend it will go away
Keep your sticky fingers off me
I hate the stench of you
Sickening and stale
The sharp synthetic lies
Bleach amyl, dust and sweat
Cold hands and shivers inside
Who was a victim
and who are you to say?
I was so much younger then
all these years I've kept my silence
Save your sympathies
Shut up and give in
There is no sin, nothing can change it (we're all alone)
Once the damage is done...
I never wanted this
I blame me
Shut up and give in
There is no sin, nothing can change it (nothing at all)
It’s infected
This city’s a wasteland
Slow drone reality
Figure head and scapegoats
Holding back the punch line
To exaggerate just right
We’re collecting IOU’s and absent apologies
The unspoken sense of betrayal lingers
Can we get it right?
When everything we know is so wrong
Everything is expandable here
Mannequins and advert placements
We leave no mark
No tasting impressions
(For a next of kin)
We decay
We cower
We remain silent victims
We argue
We justify our own demise
Inner test market
We suck up the fumes
Meat, ones and bright ideas
Contextualize it and justify
As the passive servility eats you alive
Like a Japanese girl with a taste for absurdity
Roped up and screaming for more
In spinless decisions you cling to a lie
A futile attempt to uphold your claim
As a new generation of nihilist rage
Get a grip on how to get shit done
We'll get you in the end, sweet relief
I survive trough the blaze of another day
Lower down and hide
Let me wake in a dream here you come undone
Sweet relief
Barter, compile it, package the scam
Analyze the effects and the overall consequence
Duping the masses, so fucking what
You get what you give I can see it now
Bring in the puppets, turn on the light
Round up the gullible sheep
Deliver the drama, fake and obscene
The drug of a nation asleep
We'll get you in the end, sweet relief
Die please step this, I'm begging you
Cease to breathe
You are killing everyone I love
We'll get you in the end sweet relief
As the cane draws a line in the sand of time
Blood covers bone
In the eye of the dying I can read your thoughts
Guilt as charged
Guinea pigs all, selfless and blind
An effortless crime
Darkness, closing in on this detestable domain.
Bound and gagged, another soul that cannot take this strain.
Eyes still see, but don't want to see this ultimate misery.
Take my life! Ease my pain! Bring me to my knees.
Living on the edge on insanity.
Falling into despair.
Force fed with horror with,
now submit to the region of dead.
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
No hope!
I'm paralyzed!
Spears of death, pierce my soul, my integrity is stained.
Seeds of death, growing in my mind, my fate seems preordained.
Living on the edge on insanity.
Falling into despair.
Force fed with horror with,
now submit to the region of dead.
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
Not dead!
I will survive!
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
No hope!
I'm paralyzed!
Fractured soul!
Darkness, closing in on this detestable domain.
Beaten, tormented and fractured I cannot take this strain.
Eyes still see, but don't want to see this ultimate misery.
Take my life! Ease my pain! Bring me to my knees.
Living on the edge on insanity.
Falling into despair.
Force fed with horror with,
now submit to the region of dead.
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
No hope!
I'm paralyzed!
Pain inflicted upon my fractured soul.
Not dead!
Ravaged, scarred
Book me in, imperial suit
Twenty hours, hell no
Make it a week
A fashion deprivation
A skin-flick fantasy
The anastesia won't help you now
Slip it in
Lash marks, cigarette burns
Cum stains, lipstick traces
Rehab, therapy, I collapse breakdown
Sex drive, transform anti-lifeforms
Slip it in
Now dig this supply me
A mouthful of absolutely nothing
Now understand I owe you nothing
A tremble beads of sweat well paid
Wash it off burn the evidence
What goes around comes around
It's in the works a cellular collapse
Burning human antidote condone it
Soulless and resurrected. Hiding
where hate resides. I've died in as
many ways. As you can say die.
Infertile Tries. Still I compromise
to meet your master's will. Tarnished
veins, eternal pain. Now innocence
is fading, is fading...
Into my infernal dreams of passion.
That I appease with deeds of sin. You
got your wings from the angels
divine. I stole mine from flies that died.
Needle lies. Holds our demise.
Seems every day has lost its thrill. I
damn the voices inside my head.
Now sanity is fading.
Death lurks where life is cheap
I won't betray what rules my mind -
Shithead! I'm convinced my life
returns in time - Shithead!
My roots beneath your skin
In your guilt I nest. Face the truth
that lies ahead. Alive or dead.
Infertile cries. Still I compromise to
meet your master's will. A feedle life
is a life undone. All that's life is
finally dying. Death lurks where life
expire. I can't betray what rules my
mind - Shithead! Still convinced my
life returns in time - Shithead! Life's
but a dress rehearsal for hell. I'm
convinced my life returns in time -
Shithead!
Infertile cries. Still I compromise
to meet your master's will. Tarnished
veins, eternal pain. Now innocence
is fading, is fading.
Death lurks where life is cheap
I must betray what rules my mind -
Shithead!
Now I know my life will return in
Come closer, take a good look. Learn to love this face,
you won't ever undo this reality.
I'll be right at the edge of your thoughts,like it or not.
Hey! Wait! Don't you walk away.
Like a snail,
crawling down the edge of a straight razor,
Losing no matter what.
There's no escape and no way to circumvene this.
Dead meat, dead beat, dead weight
we're all fucked and you know I'm right.
Here, get a load of this!
It's time you make up your own mind for once.
They will suck you dry like vampires until you do...
Your choice!
Don't let them steal your choice!
No more.
Remember yesterday,
to seize the day
I've travelled more miles and looked into more eyes
than most men could ever dream.
The taste of blood never does quite leave,
once it's in it's hard to wash away
If you could see through these eyes of madness
perhaps you could understand?
These words go deep and deeper still
is where you'll find the strength to move.
They will suck you dry like vampires until you choose...
Your choice!
Don't let them steal your choice!
Go forward!
If biased, the facts all obscured, unrecognizable image of truth
The masses comply while the cancer grows stronger
Corrupting the core, deny and disown a refusal to lose
Undying conviction, a war fought daily in secrecy sworn
Sabotage, overthrow, disobey and demolish
Desecrate, fuck it all
Nothing is holy
Nothing left to explore, a savage condition
The monstrous becomes the official
A permanent state, a condition of ignorant bliss
Undo their main device
Sabotage, overthrow, disobey and demolish
Desecrate, fuck it all
Smash it up, disinform, redirect and confuse
Never mind, fuck it all
Search and destroy
So clean your hands and blame it all on dignity
Cleancut perfection and highborn ideal
(But)
We're not born equal, I quote that and swear
Their liberal bullshit is only a scam
Sabotage, overthrow, disobey and demolish
Desecrate, fuck it all
Smash it up, disinform, redirect and confuse
Never mind, fuck it all
Well the same dull darkened rain keeps comin' down
Whisper little secrets to spite this little mind
See the sunlight in McAllen, TX burns my skin in Rome
Salt on my lips
Cracks in the pavement
Are we going blind, or is there something I've been missing?
Black coffee, somehow soothing, no matter where I go.
Well there's no place to hide
There's no shelter so far away
All rivers end in the same sea
Petty thieves
All hail, the one percent with a bullwhip résumé.
Die slowly, in weeping misery
and drape the bitch in a steel plate eulogy.
Skull and bones, no hope.
Burning fields and the dead game is up and go.
All my life I wanted something right,
but today sure ain't my time to shine.
It's all falling to pieces but you know
There's no place to hide
Ain't no shelter so far away
and all rivers end in the same cold lake
As an outlet for oppression,
and as a tool for control,
Icons of a sterile creed have come to rule man's destiny.
In the guise of self-made saviuors
They've tried to enslave us all,
But these holy chains of imprisonment will be shattered
by the death of god.
Encircled by a deceitful light,
You escape the harsh reality.
Live sheltered from the awful truths
You internalize the lies of a dead revelation.
Within the iron gates of fate,
They send their lambs to certain death.
Control, kill, justify
You've internalized their lies of a fake revelation.
You buy redemtion, they crush your pride
Traces
All the shadows of what was
We crawled through defeat
Until it consumes you
Until we were empty
And nothing but hatred remains
Your holiness displayed
Ashen and hollow
To tear you apart
Piece by piece
Unfolding
Losing all
Through you it flows in abundance
You will carry this treachery 'til it breaks you
Until you could see it clearly
we live like ghosts
Your weakness on display
Hollow
To tear you apart
Piece by piece
Unfolding
Lesser than god
Snake
Goat
Harlot
To tear you apart
Piece by piece
Unfolding
You say this is the path less travelled,
I stab you in the face just to let the
world know how I feel. Can you
sense my pain? I am not scared to die,
just biding time. No escape from the
raging fires. I'll set this world alight
just for you.
Desire
Face death sublime. My soul so dark
and hollow. Moulded by destructive
hands. Can you take the pain? Bury
you with your saviour. Foetal pose in
a pool of blood. I'll set my world
alight just for you.
Desire
Face death sublime. Fuel the fire.
One kill wonder. One kill.
I feel the hatred rise within me.
Fulfil my need and watch you die.
Can you feel my pain? I guess you
can - Right up to the fuckin' hilt. Left
behind for the world to know. My
Terror - Now the tide has turned
I said the tide has turned. Desire
Face death sublime. One kill wonder.
Hey hey, what do you say?
Do you want to be a part of the freak show?
Look at 'em go evade, dodge, collide and connect
A split lip, a low kick a moment of truth
Deep down we all know what it means
It's an animal urge to defy what you see
But it's real right now I can almost relate
A split second I can almost believe
Right? Nothing right? Let's die just a little tonight
Right? Step out line nothing's right
Bruised knuckles and a gallon of gasoline
Homicide rape and abuse
Force fed on a diet of hatred
Shove it in, shove it in, shove it in puke
My life it will only begin when I finally see you go
I will celebrate death a divine pure grace
To liberate me, and erase you
Right? Nothing right? Let's die just a little tonight
Right? Step out line nothing's right
Hate me I will be fine
Encourage me and die
Right? Nothing right? Let's die just a little tonight
(Nothing you say matters)
Right? Step out line Nothing's right
(Erase)
We're untouchable, a breed of our own.
In kinship between those who live on the outside.
No expectations, no extra weight.
Only idiots nurture a dying dream.
Make no mistake.
A world separates our realities.
It'll all end in tears.
The remorseful subside and decline.
Generations of deadbeat passive receptacles.
Brooling in front of their glowing screens.
There is nothing to say.
Stand down.
We have nothing to prove.
Our statement is made:
[Chorus:]
We will not.
Give in, accept, comply.
No way out.
No compromise.
Stand up.
Face agony.
My life.
Can be more than a lie.
I pledge.
Allegiance to none.
My Life.
Wasn’t it supposed to get better?
I thought I heard you say that:
“One of these days you will get what’s coming”
Baby, you don’t have a clue what it means to be
Riding on the breaking point of destruction
No rest for the ones who need it the most
No peace for the weak and the poor
In a position of opposition
Endlessly grinding us down
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Some build for failure
Some build for trust
Fucked!
Anxiety washes in it wants me to fail
Putting me down
A thousand ways to die
But I ain’t giving up
It’s not my time
Though understanding may never come
I’m not surprised
We all buy into the circus
Don’t we?
How could anyone resist?
How could anyone even exist?
I need some way to breathe
Some way to reach out and touch someone
To feel – like I am even real?
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Some build for failure
Some build for trust
Celebrate this day
So far so good
Tick… Tick… Ticking away
These strange lands
In between
Let’s pretend it’s all illusion
And die reaching for the dream
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Some build for failure
Crud scraper.
Lowlife solutions.
Trapdoor fucking exit out.
A new level of debasement.
A klansman mentality in a crackwhore corpse.
Mass psychotic,
assassination of free will.
It's narcotic,
a sickness from within the flesh itself.
You live it alone.
Hopeless.
Deaf dumb and blind.
So loaded.
Bought and paid for.
You become a liability on your own.
At least you transformed into something you promised
and learnt how to crawl.
Dissolving - losing definition.
Distorted - Your vision's lost in a blur.
Impotent, self-absorbed,
filled with despicable pity for nothing.
A DIY masterpiece of absolute bullshit.
It's narcotic,
a sickness from within the flesh itself.
You live it alone.
Hopeless.
Deaf dumb and blind.
So loaded.
It's a perfectly comfortable substitute
and I'm allright
(I'll just sit here and scratch all night)
can't you feel it crawl?
can't you feel it crawl?
(I've got something inside me)
can't you feel it crawl?
can't you feel it?
Curse the day that you were born
Curse the god above for the sheer technicalities
That will keep us apart
(We will stay separated)
Everything you say’s been said before
By someone just like you and me
It’s a comfort can’t you see
Acting out your desperate solution
Because no one understands
(How could they ever understand?)
Once upon a time when you were strong
And you could see it clearly
(Now everything you once believed is gone)
Why does it all seem motionless?
A parody of what we could have had
I’m sick and tired of explanations
(Still blinded)
Find yourself another brick
To act out your delusions
Your fashion statement make-believe
Won’t change a god damned thing at all
Ain’t you got a better place?
Somewhere where you could be who you truly are?
Do you think anybody cares?
(Anybody at all?)
And if so would it matter?
If you lost just a little bit
Of this superficial claim to fame…
Resting on a slab cast on
The shaky graves of those who came before you
(Oh! So hollow)
Your name becomes a trademark
Set solutions for the things you never knew
(What do we ever know?)
Why does it all seem motionless?
A parody of what we could have had
I’m sick and tired of explanations
(Still blinded)
Find yourself another brick
To act out your delusions
Ten years from now you’ll wonder why
No-one was there to stop you…
You’ve got his eye
Are you ready for the next one?
It is appropriate exercise
And the correct way to ruin
What trust we may have had
As if you’re remote controlled
As if you run automatic
I… clay
Mould me into something new
(So) that I can finally be of use
Why does it all seem motionless?
A parody of what we could have had
I’m sick and tired of explanations
(Still blinded)
Find yourself another brick
To act out your delusions
Ten years from now you’ll wonder why
So you say I betrayed you, well ain't that a bitch.
Did you ever ask yourself why?
She whispered secrets to me that you made her swear,
She would never once speak.
By God! What a beautiful thing to behold.
A scene of submissive perversion.
Complete in devotion. A frozen moment of hell.
Pressurize it and saviour the taste.
It lingers. The taste of failure.
I Drink Drown.
[Chorus:]
The wisky burns away the pain.
A liquid clarity.
Trough absolute corruption.
I reach a peace inside - I know what's mine.
It's a redneck treasure it comes with the bleed.
And we pass it on down.
Still you can't understand what you could have had -
'til you lose it for good.
Baptized exhumed.
Nothing compares.
I Drink Drown.
[Chorus:]
The wisky burns away the pain.
A liquid clarity.
Trough absolute corruption.
My future is forged with an axe.
I set the pace for you to follow.
Trade my illusions for your rebellion.
The shit I serve you just swallow.
Honed to perfection.
Now watch me escalate your flawless life.
I am sucking you dry, just feed me.
...sucking you dry, just live for me.
There's no end to the secrets I pour into your
hate-polluted veins.
Now I'll drain the fetus that I grew in you
Bred for abuse
Now watch me dominate your pathetic life
[Rep. Chorus]
Like a greedy pig I wallow
I realize all truths are lost
Easily fooled you all will follow.
Like a leech I'll drain you all.
Just feed me
Facing the options, my life's stinking trail. As all these illusions turn
pale and insane. Victim to none, my own hunger devoured. Full system
shutdown, my drug is divine. My life is becoming a death, trapped
inside…I'll be damned. Christ was a downright cunt in his own time, Fuck
that! I will be damned… So how do you figure you're better than me? You
cower at all (you're) too scared to be free. My vision is clear as I watch
your decline. If I was a god you would all fucking fry! My life is
becoming a death, trapped inside…I'll be damned. Christ was a downright
cunt in his own time, Fuck that! I will be damned… Screaming for mercy,
suburbia burns. Hells opens wide, as the fires light. Rising a new
generation of hate.. Destruction of all life. (spoken) Start praying
preacher man… Feeding the flames of society's end. It's each man for
himself. A loaded gun, a heart of stone. The will. I shall survive! I'm
finding a new way, my hatred will burn. Revel in flesh as the scales
slowly turn. My vision is clear as I watch your decline. If I was a god
you would all fucking die! My life is becoming a death, trapped
inside…I'll be damned. Christ was a downright cunt in his own time.
Pray for me. Pray for my soul beyond redemption.
Pray for my piss-soaked heart, for the hands that
mould my life so shallow.
So shallow
Painted, smiling face
So hollow
Self inflicted pain
Noisome life come cut me and bleed me dry.
Rape me. Rape my mind. Rape what's left of me.
Repulsive abuse yet filled with such desire.
Desire
Painted, smiling face
Such desire
Now watch me fall from grace.
Gagged, violated, forgotten.
Now watch me fall from grace.
My psyche ripped and torn.
Infested - my soul burns.
Abandoned - my mind churns.
Human debris, twitching violently.
