Tracks



01. Demonic Refusal

You take my hand and sympathize
You felt the flesh, you realized
You took my will, now I'm deprived
Save myself, just save myself

I can not be taken unto
All that I have can not be taken

She has ways mischievous
Takes your soul in pact
Demonic chants of Manatu
Save your soul, just save your souI

I can not be taken unto
All that I feel can not be taken
A strong will is my defense
For my future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me

Yeah, he feeds on innocence
Dreams - the taste of war
Smells the fear that he has dreamt
Wake yourself, just wake yourself

I can not be taken until
All that I have can not be taken
The tarot cards on the table
They showed the future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me

I am a prisoner of fate
I'm refusing all hate
I will cast it away
I will not be a slave

You take my hand and sympathize
You felt the flesh, you felt the flesh
You took my will, now I'm deprived
Save myself, just save myself

I can not be taken until
All that I have can not be taken
The tarot cards on the table
They showed the future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me
I... in through out death I shall be
I... in through out death I shall be

02. The Burning Times

Back in time the punishment was burn
All you witches burn
Some mothers burned, burned alive
Hear the children cry...

Children crying... mothers dying

Some would die the innocent
Some would die a whore
Some so scared the children fled
Confused by this world

Why? They don't want to burn alive

Caught in the burning times
When all the witches died
Still hear the children crying
The burning times...

Some say when you float a witch
You set free their soul
I've always said: burn the bitch
My spoken words of old

Why? They don't want to burn alive

Caught in the burning times
When all the witches died
Still hear the children crying
The burning times...

Back in time the punishment was burn
All you witches burn
Some paid the price of their crimes
Caught in the burning times

Why? They don't want to burn alive

Caught in the burning times
So many people died
Still hear the children crying
The burning times...
Caught in the burning times...

03. Together As One

I was born into a womb so insane
Overcrowded as we share the same veins
You will not be more man than me
I will not be the other
I am the one, the chosen son
Who devours and smothers

Violence is not the way.!. What am I anyway?

Implantation as they ripped us apart
Joined together 'cause we share the same heart
You will not be more man than me
You will not be the other
I am the one, the chosen son
Who devoured his brother

Hurt.!. Help.!. Hell.!.
And now you will see...
That we will be always together as one
Always together as... one
Will not be half a man
We're joined together as... one

The dominant son, who was joined as one always wonders why
The unborn son, who lives inside his head can never die

Violence is not the way.!. Damaging vows I take
The one who was built of rage.!. Bow down before I-

Prayed forgiveness from the father above
Joined together but not bonded by love

I will not be more man than he
We will not have each others
I am the one, the burden son
Who devoured his brother

Hurt.!. Help.!. Hell.!.
And now you will see...
That we will be always together as one
Always together as... one
Will not be half a man
We're joined together as... one

04. Jun-Jun

Cast before my eyes
Deceive me a vision of my life
Cannot seem to help myself
The helpless won't survive
Free us from the beds of hell
Heavens overthrown
The ruler of the realm is seen
In evil and of sorrow

Blessed is the strength of man
Imbedded life entombed

Blessed is the strength of man
Imbedded life entombed
Feeding off the sickened hands
Of man and his abuse

Save you, save me! Help us! I'm so afraid
Help you, help me! Save us and everybody!

I first started thinking I was insane
Tried to talk but could not really say
I turned my pressure into the pain
Let reality slip away!

I have to face my punishment
My sins I will repent!

As I look to the heavens above
Reach for the sky to be touched by the love!

Cast before my eyes
Deceive me a vision of my life
Cannot seem to help myself
The helpless won't survive
Blessed is the strength of man
Imbedded life entombed
Feeding off the sickened hands
Of man and his abuse

Save you, save me! Help us! I'm so afraid
Help you, help me! Save us and everybody!
-- I'm so afraid

05. John Doe

He died on thorazine
Lost life and any hopes
Laid him down on a bed of steel
Laid downtown at the city morgue

John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. His lost soul will never rest

He was raised as an orphan
Abuse victim as a child
Dreaming haunting memories
Made John Doe take his own life

John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. Realize that you're dead!

He, who is victimized can never grasp
Never ever knowing what is love...
He was a bitter man, an only son
Never ever knowing what is... love, no love!

Take heed to my warning
Even though I might be wrong
Fulfill life full of love
Or you'll end up just like John

John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. His lost soul will never rest
John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. Realize that you're dead
John Doe.!. John!
John Doe.!. John!

06. Murky Waters

Hold your breath afraid
Grasp the rope in fear
Grip just slips away
You yell but no one hears

You don't know if you will drown

Your friends showed you the way
They left you to run wild
They just turned away
You're angered with a smile

You don't know if you will drown
You don't know if you'll be found or not

Drowning in the darkness.!.
Lying... ending... sorrow...
Body's feeling lifeless...
Lying... ending... sorrow...

The minds at peace and conscious
Lying... ending... sorrow...

Where are your friends now
Have they let you down
They can't bring you back
They just let you drowned

You don't know if you will... drown.!.

07. Hatred's Rise

Slashing through the fight before him dressed in the armor of the dead
Crossed fists can't deny the swift sword getting closer to their lair

"Follow me and I'll give you a king singing over talking
Fight with me and kill for your king, hatred was a man out to seek
Vengeance for the death of his father, for he is the one bears the mark
Of the great warrior king and no one can stop him"

Waiting for tonight, the ax swings into battle on the wall
Striking blows from life for my king - deathly victim of the blade

Stabbing and slashing when night falls they all must die
Beating and bashing with blood lust from hatred's rise

The high priest blessed the blood shed of defeat
The smell of death roams through the air
Rising flames of war shine through the night
Until the dawn the troopers storm

Stabbing and slashing, the nights gone, no one alive
Beating and bashing with blood lust from hatred's rise

08. Distorted Lives

I'm so distorted, that I'm fading away
Human destruction has now sealed our fate

The truth is war
There's suffering
I am a stronger man
Man who I am... I.!.

I've seen the world suffer human distinction
I've seen through eyes of rage
It's time to stand and rise

And face the war and suffering
The world we scorn is our world uncaptured

Dark machines that shade the light won't let you understand
I side with innocence and, hail for-
Resistance! Resistance! Resistance! Resistance!

Dark disease that takes the life of all our fellow man
No time for ignorance, salvation comes again

I.!. I've watched the earth slowly wither away
Human destruction has now sealed our fate

The truth is war and suffering
I am a stronger man
Man who I am, I am... man.!.

Distorted lives

This planet bleeds...
You, sinners, sigh

09. New Eyes Of Old

Psychological warfare
The first step in creating a situation

Dreams of new... Lies confused...
Lies to you! Will truth shine through?
What the rain won't wash away
The sun is black with shades of gray
Reflections of these stranger days

Live through new eyes, die through old

New eyes... eyes... lies...
Conflicting worlds upon your back
The weight will fate undo
Seen through eyes of new
Crucify me sanctify me... now

Live through new eyes, die through old

New... new eyes of old
Live... dream... die...

Destined to repeat, doomed to forget
Destined to repeat, doomed to forget

We won't survive these strange days
Crucify me, sanctify me... now

Seen through new eyes, die through old

New... new eyes of old
New... new eyes of old

Destined to repeat, doomed to forget
Destined to repeat, doomed to forget

New eyes of old, new eyes of old

10. Ten Thousand Thrones

Cast away by darkness
It's time to let you know
Voices of many soldiers
Arise ten thousand thrones

They're just turned away
They're told that they're OK
The spread of chemical warfare
Destroyed the human race

Life is darkening, sickening
Endless conscious slumber
Ten thousand thrones

Paralyzed, depression
Schizophrenic minds
New born retardation
A war they're born to fight

Life is darkening, sickening
Endless conscious slumber
Ten thousand thrones

Cancerous tumor invading the mind
~Leaving behind!~
Ashes are burning that fall from the sky
~Politically devine!~
Honor the code and defending the line
~Pretentious lies!~
The fighting of war is shattering lives
~The death of mankind!~

Why have we forgotten
A war, the holocaust?
What is the solution?
Ten thousand lives were lost
