Tracks



01. The Grey Massacre

In the battle of the obscure
Tragic death so suddenly
Slowly unlatches the leather strap
Roaming mortals so divine

Deadly intention, with the will to kill
Eyes locked, your heart pounds

The grey massacre, a familiar sight
Substance of fire, the visible truth
Modified version of an alternate reality

Deadly intention, with the will to kill
Eyes locked, your heart pounds

Grey massacre...seared into the flesh

I see this world, I see it dead
Accumulate and multiply the victims of the dead
What always was, will ever be
Dark risen force, repeated history

It's all the more tragic, that they were young
But have they lived very, very long lives
They could not have expected, nor they would have wish to see
As much of the mad and macabre as they have seen that day
For them an ideal summer afternoon drive became a nightmare

In the battle of the obscure
The grey massacre, a familiar sight
Modified version of an alternate reality

Grey massacre...seared into the flesh

I see this world, I see it dead
Accumulate and multiply the victims of the dead
What always was, will ever be
Dark risen force, repeated history

02. Altruistic Suicide

Morse code, signal of surprising prime
Through fields of dreams and primal crime
No rest, no fear
The slaughter meets his victim
Return to the core and finish what they started

Offensive strike, first class of content
Balance and perfection
Who is what and what are they?
Relentless punishment
Troops of doom versus victims of war
Seeds of rebellious vice

Artificial humanoid, I grant thou misery
Occasion, or just a state of mind
Obstruction of the mindless few

Altruistic suicide
Demise by idol cruelty

Imitate this ignorant type
Shiver and shine, revelation of the chained mind
Philosopher and beast are caged with fright
Bounded by their own suicide

Offensive list set the world of fire
Enchained by this demonic vicious liar
Masters and their henchmen walk around the dead
Killed by dreams, the trap is set

To end this war, engage and dominate
Enthrall the beast
Ensure the summoning
Emperor and king, behold the reckoning
Intention verified
Empire falls, empires truth
What does this mean for tenacious youth?
Raise the sword and swear the oath
Situation stigmatized

Precursor of precision preferred to be forgotten
Altruistic suicide
No waste of ammo, no waste of precious tools
Altruistic suicide

03. Men Down

Infinite sense
Nothing to lose
A sacred war
I feel a stroke, a mindless blow, occult seance
Judas or savior, reality or dream
Is this the day of reckoning?

Contradicted suicide
Sacramental doom

Sinner among the saints
Hazard of suspicious thought
Upheaval or denial
Prostitute of morality

Uphold the threat
Messenger of death

Obscene and obscure
Regain, rejoice or burn

Parish from this land
An endless war
A horrific rack
Incapable whore

No concrete goals
Nor an abstract thought
Impaled through standards
The enemy laughs

Men down
No concrete goals
Nor an abstract thought
Impaled through standards
The enemy laughs

"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war
By dying for his country.
You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country...
...When you put your hand into a bunch of goo,
That a moment before was your best friends face,
You'll know what to do..."

Parish from this land
An endless war
A horrific rack
Incapable whore

04. Afterburner

Atrocious crash, altitude of terror
The skies are red, assault on civil liberty
Theft and deceit, weak quest for revenge

Invade and destroy their pride less land
Invaluable words of trust
Written laws of ethnic cleansing

Towards the inwards, invidious and beloved
Irrelevant violence focused on the balance of time

Invade and destroy their pride less land
Invaluable words of trust
Written laws of ethnic cleansing

Kingdom come, or just some lunacy
Monster of urban history
Atheist or a freak of nature
Morals set aside, a living philosophy

Atrocious crash, altitude of terror
The skies are red, assault on civil liberty
Theft and deceit, weak quest for revenge

Afterburner... unrelieved and unbound
Afterburner... uncalled and uncared
Afterburner... unallied and unalike
Afterburner... black mark in history

05. Presage Of The Mindless

Hear me roar, god of infidelity
Be obedient to the past
See what others might have not
Hear the roar of the infinite wrath

Revenge is a virtue
Blood red murder
Hear what others might have not
See the pain from the infinite wrath

Strange values presently among us
Right is wrong, day is night
Misbehave of leaders and their sheep
Follow me I'll be your king

Confirm your lack of faith
Confess or be forgotten
Concede to your weakness
Follow me! I am your king

Feast upon the living
Wisdom will be destroyed
Like a gun calling for duty
Or a knife pierced
Throughout your throat

In sickness and in health
Death is upon your side
Hail Jesus, god of sin
Step aside! I am your king

Burned, stabbed and slaughtered
Senseless lunacy
Like a stream of everlasting pride
Enshrine this sign

Wake up from this dying world
Lesser man of life
Dreaded by the unholy
Not a king, just a lie

Officer of a lesser god
Gutted in your church

Sacramental weakness
Historic failure, died on the cross
Historic failure, died on the cross
Historic failure, died on the cross
Historic failure, died on the cross

Officer of a lesser god
Gutted in your church

Wake up from this dying world
Lesser man of life
Dreaded by the unholy
Not a king, just a lie

An oblivious explanation
Yet... difficult to see
Manipulated offspring
Children of misery

Confirm your lack of faith
Confess or be forgotten
Concede to your weakness
Follow me! I am your king

Sacramental weakness
Historic failure, died on the cross
Historic failure, died on the cross

Presage of the mindless
Presage of the mindless
Presage of the mindless
Gutted in your church

Presage of the mindless
Like a stream of everlasting pride
Presage of the mindless
Enshrine this sign, everlasting pride, fulfill the lie

06. Into Submission

Twenty years ago my anguish sealed an oath
Found on the steps of the demon's church
Fiercely hunted by the secret society
War against the underworld for thousand more years

Rulers of slavery
Relentless tragedy
Become the sacrifice
Hate their empty hearts

Silently they marched, spreading their disease
Gruesome art spread out, tangled in blood
Lugubrious atmospheric design, a feast for the dreadful
A social higher awareness will end the status quo

Bizarre and unique lies
Suspicion of the lead
Frantic rage and fright
Into submission

When all is lost
Buried underneath
Strange change of faith... inside my deepest hate

Into submission
Pray useless prayers towards your fictional god
Only the penitent man will pass

Bizarre and unique lies
Suspicion of the lead
Frantic rage and fright
Into submission

07. The Riot Crossfire

Playground of the holy, preach eternal lies
Gospel for the wicked
Dressed in black, destructive malice
Body to body, knife to knife, predatory raid
The end of civilization, world demise

The riot crossfire
Predetermined
Practical dismemberment
A feast for the beast

Invertible items gathered straight from the core
Favor them all; you'll be dead when he's gone
Meaningless redemption, freedom for all
Father or failure, hear my dead call

Scene after scene, life after death, the riot crossfire
Potential homicide, pragmatic rivalry, the riot crossfire

Like a cut from a blade
Or a shot filled with hate
Death with honor, upkeep the pride
March into glory without asking why

The riot crossfire

Like a cut from a blade
Or a shot filled with hate
Death with honor, upkeep the pride
March into glory without asking why

The riot crossfire

Flesh Of The Servant
Replenish what has been taken
Shepherd of the unholy
Blessed are those who guard their soul
Like a shock to the system

Shortage of violence
Seven priests involved
Rape of innocent children
Approval from their god

08. Flesh Of The Servant

Sexual secrecy
Molestation of those who trust in this hypocrisy

Kneel down, abuser of the light
I am your destiny
Cursed are those who filled their lust
Violence and secrecy

Shortage of violence
Seven priests involved
Rape of innocent children
Approval from their god

Scandals... covered up
Collective absence of shame
Ridiculous speech for forgiveness
Victims not allowed to endure their pain

Warriors of sin
I hate your god
Intend to kill... your benevolent holy man

Flesh of the servant
Inhuman act
Followers of the occult
Mirror of death

Misbehaviour of those we trust
Scars of time will tell the tale of fright
Militant but still oppressed
Millions gathered to slay the hands of time

Flesh of the servant
Inhuman act
Followers of the occult
Mirror of death

Warriors of sin
I hate your god
Intend to kill... your benevolent holy man

Abuser of the light
Sworn to secrecy
Previous signs ignored
Children used as whore

Flesh of the servant
Sexual secrecy
Molestation of those who trust in this hypocrisy

Kneel down, abuser of the light
I am your destiny
Cursed are those who filled their lust
Violence and secrecy

Shortage of violence
Seven priests involved
Rape of innocent children
Approval from their god
