Tracks



01. Piston Head

Full throttle, speed ahead
Punish the roaring engine
Burnt rubber, the scent of lead
Fast down the highway

Flames feed on gasoline
Bone crushing heavy pressure
Tight left, adrenaline
I'm on my way

Oil as blood under the hood,
Pumping freely through

I live behind the wheel
The dusty grey keeps calling me
So I drive through the night
Another city, another scene
Straight ahead aimlessly-
The open road is my bride
This is life on the fast lane

Sparks fly, dynamite
Bullet on wheels, explosive
Hit the gas, tight right
And on I go

Black leather, paint glows red
Horny pair of legs beside me
Speed junkie, piston head
And on I go

Oil as blood under the hood,
pumping freely through

I live behind the wheel
The dusty grey keeps calling me
So I drive through the night
Another city, another scene
Straight ahead aimlessly-
The open road is my bride
This is life on the fast lane

02. Mercury Falling

Let's celebrate this suffering
While the grave is still warm
We've got no time to lose
Let's set fire on everything
In honor of flame to be gone
We've got nothing to lose

Kiss before the fall

Hearts beating fast
Let's make the moment last for
Tomorrow's doom is already gleaming
It's gone so fast
Let go, forgive the past for the
Mercury of life keeps falling
Falling down

Let's enjoy this suffering
Disillusioned and free
We've still got time to choose
Let's desire everything
The name of extinction to be
We've got us to abuse

Kiss before the fall

Hearts beating fast
Let's make the moment last for
Tomorrow's doom is already gleaming
It's gone so fast
Let go, forgive the past for the
Mercury of life keeps falling
Falling down

03. A Good Day For The Crows

I fill the chamber bullet by bullet
Hoping this time it won't jam
To play a round of the northern roulette
And leave this world with a bang
Just one squeeze and all will cease
One for the gun to drown the last line of defense
I'm ready for hell

I'm so sick of it all
With a vengeance I have hated
I hear them crows call
For the death black wings I've waited
To come and peck the flesh off of my bones

I oil the rope to be sure the knot slides
Tie down the other end tight
Stand on a chair and close my eyes
Knowing this time it's alright
A step.. just one and all is done
One for the rope to drown the last line of defense
I'm ready for hell

I'm so sick of it all
With a vengeance I have hated
I hear them crows call
For the death black wings I've waited
They're hovering close
-Oh so close
They've come to drag me down to the unknown
Let them peck the flesh off of my bones

I'm so sick of it all
With a vengeance I have hated
I hear them crows call
For the death black wings I've waited
They're hovering close
- Oh so close
They've come to drag me down to the unknown
They're close.. oh so close
Won't need no coroner to tag my toe
Let them peck the flesh off of my bones

04. Maggot Song

Through the six-feet of dirt they
Claim to hear the sound of the pouring rain
Saying it's me up here pissing on your grave
The stench of shit gathers more of flies to run
Their mouths
Them brainless know not
What they're talking about

It's the outcome of severe inbreeding

Back then, now and always
You maggots will be crawling by my side
Keeping the flame of hate alive
Until the hell freezes over I will
Be the cold thorn right there in your side
I promise you rain tonight

From behind them aliases
Pathetically trying to point their gun
To me it's none for all and all for none
It must be hard without them brain cells
To try and understand
With empty pig-ass-eyes to make a stand

Hooray for the severe inbreeding

Back then, now and always
You maggots will be crawling by my side
Keeping the flame of hate alive
Until the hell freezes over I will
Be the cold thorn right there in your side
I promise you rain tonight

05. From Now-Here To Nowhere

This is where it ends
I can't have the years wasted back
Re-invent something I've lost how to feel

The table is set for three
Indifference, you and me and we
Sit there in silence
Don't care to speak
It's not temporary
It's our cemetery
And we are carved in stone

From now-here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my piece.. want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time - Just let us go

This is where it ends
I'm getting the hell out of here
Leaving nothing behind - It was never real

The hole is dug for three
Suffering, you and me and we
Lay there in silence
No need to speak
It's finally here - No anguish, no fear
And we are free at last

From now-here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my piece.. want nothing from you
I love you
I hate you
I'll sing when you're dead
I loathe you
I need you
I'll scream and regret

From now-here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my piece.. want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time - Just let us go

06. Sycophant

So you thought you had it made
All on that shining silver plate
Now you're turning a brand new page
Not a word disappearing without a trace
You've spawned just rage

Have a nice rest of your life
For it's all you've got

Until it rains ice in hell
The shit will keep on rolling out your mouth
No more of you - It's zero tolerance
Can you hear the final bell it
Tolls for you that there is no doubt
We are through now - This is where it ends

Black is white-Red is green
Spit it out! Say what you mean
Trust is earned not ingratiated
The bridge is burned, the past contaminated
Annihilated

Better to be hated for what you are
Than loved for what you're not

Until it rains ice in hell
The shit will keep on rolling out your mouth
No more of you - It's zero tolerance
Can you hear the final bell it
Tolls for you that there is no doubt
We are through now - This is where it ends

07. The Dead-End Stream

Flowers in bloom
It's a beautiful day
Headed for doom
Destruction and decay

Stare at the sun
The warm rays of light
Nowhere to run
We've already lost the fight

Hand in hand we wait this all to end

Everything dies - Withers away
There's no afterlife
No nothing's here to stay
Hope is a lie
We in vain beg and pray
While floating down the dead-end stream until it's time
To drown away

Life is so sweet
So seize the day
Destiny's sealed
And soon to pine away
Enjoy while you can
Breathe in, breathe out
Try and understand, the only way is out

Gun in hand we wait this all to end

Everything dies - Withers away
There's no afterlife
No nothing's here to stay
Hope is a lie
We in vain beg and pray
While floating down the dead-end stream until it's time..

No one gets out of here alive
No one comes back to testify
So enjoy while you can my child
We only got this one time

Everything dies - Withers away
There's no afterlife
No nothing's here to stay
Hope is a lie
We in vain beg and pray
While floating down the dead-end stream until it's time...

08. Futile Man

Still too much I recall of them
Gnawed out bones which the
Mattock of time buried beneath
The pavement
And to wade in the shades won't clear the air,
Won't erase the stench of them dead

Will the solace be found from
The north of the ditch
Dug deep with my own beaten shovel
For sure it is not in the notes of the self-pity moan
Could it be at the end of the double barrel

The time is nigh

Until the end I'll deny that there's sense in this life
I am what I am, a futile man
And till the end I'll deny that there's meaning behind
I am what I am, a futile man

Now, hear my child this weight will land on your shoulders
You too will pay this debt of despair
I'm not here to teach you or to show you the way
It wouldn't make any difference

The time is nigh

Until the end I'll deny that there's meaning behind
I am what I am, a futile man
And till the end I'll deny that there's sense in this life
I am what I am, a futile man

Still too much I recall of them
Gnawed out bones which the
Mattock of time buried beneath
The pavement
And to wade in the shades won't clear the air,
Won't erase the stench of them dead

Until the end I'll deny that there's sense in this life
I am what I am, a futile man
And till the end I'll deny that there's meaning behind
I am what I am, a futile man

09. Scars

Down this road again and it feels like beneath
The dust of time
Down this road once again and it seems this will be until
The end of my time

Oh how I wish you were here
To make the sighs of despair disappear
Oh how I wish you could see
In spite of it all what you mean to me

Along this road once again
Still it seems like it leads nowhere but away
Along this road once again
Still it seems that it has been always this way

Oh how I wish you were here
To make the sighs of despair disappear
Oh how I wish you could see
In spite of it all what you mean to me

Scars are made to remind

Oh how I wish you were here
To make the sighs of despair disappear
Oh how I wish you could see
In spite of it all what you mean to me

And oh how these years have been long
While humming the notes of the dead man's song
Oh how I wish they would fade
All of them wounds I know it's too late

Scars are made to remind

10. Driftwood

Left wading neck-high in dirt
By the flood of waste waters
Completely soaked to the bone
Floating restless in time pining out
Through the unending struggles
Straight towards the unknown with nothing to hold onto

Always against the stream
Beating through debris
But as long as the scenery keeps changing
It's alright
Always against the stream
Riding on the belief
That as long as the scenery keeps changing
It's alright

Left sailing the sea of dirt
On a raft that is leaking
Moved by the stench of the wind
Waiting the high-tide to come
To finally sink in
In the scum-tsunami with nothing to hold onto

Always against the stream
Beating through debris
But as long as the scenery keeps changing
It's alright
Always against the stream
Riding on the belief
That as long as the scenery keeps changing
It's alright
