01. Case Closed

Case closed, end of story
I'll silence you even before you start
I'll draw the line and make it thick
Make it so thick that all can see

I'll modify a brand new line
For you to cross, you won't survive
Can't kill the speed, a vicious being
Forget utility, this is all about me

I've bled for what I've said
But I had to let it out
Can't keep my mouth shut

I've bled for what I've said
But I had to let it out
Can't keep my mouth shut

You fools
I give you five across the eyes this time
A statement by the hand

You fools
I give you five across the eyes this time
A statement by the hand

Won't cope with the world, reduced knowledge
Getting crowded, absorbed by it all
I still prefer life before decay
Just condemn me, I don't care

I've bled for what I've said
But I had to let it out
Can't keep my mouth shut

I've bled for what I've said
But I had to let it out
I'm about to explode

You fools
I give you five across the eyes this time
A statement by the hand

You fools
I give you five across the eyes this time
A statement by the hand
Five across the eyes

You fools
I give you five across the eyes this time
A statement by the hand
Five across the eyes

You fools
I give you five across the eyes this time
A statement by the hand
Five across the eyes

02. Striving To Have Nothing

A man can't foresee it
His own destiny is written
All guessing is useless
Just to do what you have to, to get by

Another road taken
Another bridge is going to fall
Too many dices
Thrown for the sake of his own

Explorations ended
Opportunities lost along the way
Relationships lying dead

Explorations ended
Opportunities lost along the way
Relationships lying dead

Strive - to have nothing done right
To have nothing to live for
To have only existed, and you call it life
Strive - to have nothing done right
Nothing to hang on to
To have only excisted, and you call it life

You can't go around it
All our destinies are written
All denying is useless
Just another breed wasting their days

A wrong turn taken
Another life fading away
Too many rules
Made to protect themselves

Explorations ended
Opportunities lost along the way
Relationships lying dead

Explorations ended
Opportunities lost along the way
Relationships lying dead

Strive - to have nothing done right
To have nothing to live for
To have only existed, and you call it life
Strive - to have nothing done right
Nothing to hang on to
To have only excisted, and you call it life

[Solo]

Strive - to have nothing done right
To have nothing to live for
To have only existed, and you call it life
Strive - to have nothing done right
Nothing to hang on to
To have only excisted, and you call it life

Strive - to have nothing done right
To have nothing to live for
To have only existed, and you call it life
Strive - to have nothing done right
Nothing to hang on to
To have only excisted, and you call it life

03. The Grand Scheme

I hid my horns from all mankind
Just to stir up their lives
Took them to the ledge
And watched it all go down in flames

They lasted longer and somewhat stronger
Than I thought they would
They couldn't see what I am
Now they can't deny

Speeded up the process
Seemed to work so well
Some days it went so slow
Like it went in slowmotion
Like watching metal corrode

I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you
I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you

I want to be the first to use
Your weakness against you
Not your belief which keeps me here
It's the devotion

Still, the longer you resist
The longer I'm here
I'll show myself when it's time
For you to see me

Speeded up the process
Seemed to work so well
Some days it went so slow
Like it went in slowmotion
Like watching metal corrode

I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you
I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you

I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you
I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you

I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you
I would not speak about all things
I had in store for you

...Would not speak...
...Not a single word...
...Nothing more...
...Forever more...

04. Source

An empty stare, a stupid grin
Sweating palms and cold within
Delete past calculations, adapt to a brand new breed
Sudden movements, the smell of caffeine

Won't ever see me turning the other cheek
Tooth for a tooth, I want more than your lies
Won't ever see me walking away
Not forgiving, I won't admit that I'm wrong

Can't rid the disease, a need of release
The source will pull you under
Can't rid the disease, a need of release
Or a way to end it

Can't rid the disease, a need of release
The source will pull you under
Can't rid the disease

Twitching muscles, an aching head
Brain hurting, unable to think straight
A great future would have been, among the lost
Among deceivers, like himself

Won't ever see me turning the other cheek
Tooth for a tooth, I want more than your lies
Won't ever see me walking away
Not forgiving, I won't admit that I'm wrong

Can't rid the disease, a need of release
The source will pull you under
Can't rid the disease, a need of release
Or a way to end it

Can't rid the disease, a need of release
The source will pull you under
Can't rid the disease
Or a way to end it

[Solo]

Can't rid the disease, a need of release
The source will pull you under
Can't rid the disease, a need of release
Or a way to end it

05. Not A Good Sign

I feel cursed, who cast this spell?
I feel trapped, reminding me of mortality
I feel the melting, this can't be real
I feel I'm melting and I'm almost gone

I sense my existence, becoming smaller
I sense the creation of me

I'm like water in the desert sand
I feel infected, my heart still pounds
I can't quench this thirst of mine
I still bleed, it's not a good sign

I sense my existence, growing shorter
I sense the creation of me, becoming smaller
Going in reverse

My world needs me no longer
A struggling existence
No hope of survival
No escape from extinction

I feel chosen to take the beating
I'm uncapable to move an inch
A coincidence, kicked by a cloven hoof
I can't clutch this mess I'm in

I sense my existence, growing shorter
I sense the creation of me, becoming smaller
Going in reverse

My world needs me no longer
A struggling existence
No hope of survival
No escape from extinction

[Solo]

Becoming

My world needs me no longer
A struggling existence
No hope of survival
No escape from extinction

My world needs me no longer
A struggling existence
No hope of survival
No escape from extinction

06. Guidance

Mute all your opinions
Don't you ever take a stand
Still thinking won't suit you
As I said once before
Stand in the row

Wait in the silence
Let the brainwash begin
Forget your morals
Don't think of what is right
They'll do all the thinking for you
Your future is planned

Can't shoot yourself in the head
I'll pull the trigger for you
Too weak to make this simple task
Nothing more than a useless attempt
To do something right
I'll help you trough

Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Don't ever talk back
Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Buried under laws just made for you

Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Don't ever resist
Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Buried under laws just made for you

So now you're on the edge
They'll give you a push
You'll need all help
And a little guidance to the other side

Always expect the worst
They're obliged
No answers received
No questions asked
Forget about the holes in your head

Can't shoot yourself in the head
I'll pull the trigger for you
Too weak to make this simple task
Nothing more than a useless attempt
To do something right
I'll help you trough

Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Don't ever talk back
Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Buried under laws just made for you

Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Don't ever resist
Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Buried under laws just made for you

Can't shoot yourself in the head
I'll pull the trigger for you
Too weak to make this simple task
Nothing more than a useless attempt
To do something right
I'll help you trough

Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Don't ever talk back
Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Buried under laws just made for you

Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Don't ever resist
Don't utter a single word
This is what you deserve
Buried under laws just made for you

07. Lead Astray

I hope you creep, I hope you crawl
Hope you're feeling weak
So now you're lost like never before
I am the end, the end of it all

I feed on the weak
'Cause they're the easiest prey
I lead them astray
Mankind has always functioned this way

Somethings you won't ever understand
Still you want to be dead as I am
Allthings are not to be understood
So you imitate as much as you can

Somethings you won't ever understand
Still you want to be dead
Blocked all the roads that lead you
So you imitate as much as you can

I hope you realize
That there is nothing for you here
Nightmares materialized
Taking you from here to there

Obscure as it might seem
This is absolutely real
Purposes change rapidly
I will never kneel

I feed on the weak
'Cause they're the easiest prey
I lead them astray
Mankind has always functioned this way

Somethings you won't ever understand
Still you want to be dead as I am
Allthings are not to be understood
So you imitate as much as you can

Somethings you won't ever understand
Still you want to be dead
Blocked all the roads that lead you
So you imitate as much as you can

Somethings you won't ever understand
Still you want to be dead as I am
Allthings are not to be understood
So you imitate as much as you can

Somethings you won't ever understand
Still you want to be dead
Blocked all the roads that lead you
So you imitate as much as you can

08. The Destroyer

Skulls piled on concrete, executions made with ease
Tombs filled with sickness, an invader who won't take heed
Evolving with a shotgun, launching killing spree
Unleashing death on mankind, excluding not a soul free

He won't be satisfied
He won't be satisfied

A gallery of death art, primitive actions to be seen
Ceiling dripping from their blood, loves to watch them creep
Opened the gates of torture, he has found his way
Generations screaming for more, ripping trough the gateways

The destroyer

Skulls piled on concrete, executions made with ease
Tombs filled with sickness, an invader who won't take heed
Evolving with a shotgun, launching killing spree
Unleashing death on mankind, excluding not a soul free

The destroyer
