Tracks



01. Ground Zero

(instrumental)

02. Run / Hide / Fail

The massacre has just begun
Don't try to hide
Nowhere to go, nowhere to run,
You're gonna die
Your darkest hour
I will devour

Don't try to run, don't try to hide
I'm always on your trail
Don't try to run, don't try to hide
My senses never fail

My claws are aiming for your chest
The end is near
Your blood will quench my endless thirst
Embrace your fear
Your final breath
Enjoy your death

Don't try to run, don't try to hide
I'm always on your trail
Don't try to run, don't try to hide
My senses never fail

You shouldn't try to run
You shouldn't try to hide
You just can't get away
You're gonna die

Don't try to run, don't try to hide
I'm always on your trail
Don't try to run, don't try to hide
My senses never fail

03. Sinner

Hate, all that I feel
Love, nothing is real
I, I am the one
God, Father and Son

Do you remember what it is I said
I know your every weakness, don't forget

You'll never take me down
'Cause I'm the sinner
You'll never wear my crown
I am the winner

Let, the bullet fly
Straight, between the eyes
I, don't give a damn
You, know who I am

Do you remember what it is I said
I know your every weakness, don't forget

You'll never take me down
Cause I'm the sinner
You'll never wear my crown
I am the winner

04. The Journey

I'm aiming for the Moon
Goddess of dark delight
Our hunt will end soon
Bendis, eternal night

I'm staring at the Sun
The light that binds us all
Oh, Helios, mighty one
Please heed our desperate call

I'm travelling so far
Light years into the past
To learn the knowledge of
A journey through the stars

I'm looking back to Earth
A bloody stain of Mars
The holy god of war
Has found his home at last

We're praying for your blessing
Oh, mighty gods of old
The future, mankind's passing
The end of our world

I'm travelling so far
Light years into the past
To learn the knowledge of
A journey through the stars

05. Devastator

Burning through your head
I'm crippling your body
Your personal hell
Nothing will stop me

I rip you heart out
And throw it to the dogs
You'll scream and shout
No one will know

I am?

Devastator!
You live or you die
Devastator!
That choice is mine
Devastator!
I feed on your pain
Devastator!

An earthquake deep inside
A shockwave of hatred
Nowhere left to hide
The price you must pay

The flood of the abyss
Incinerates your own soul
Taste a leper's kiss
It never grows old

I am?

Devastator!
You live or you die
Devastator!
That choice is mine
Devastator!
I feed on your pain
Devastator!
Soul Tormentor!
Devastator!

06. Sanctuary

I aim to please
There's no denying what I do
Hurts everyone around you

I never ceased
To endlessly race for your love
Your heart, your hand
The promised land

I, I crave your soul
Deep down below
Still lost inside your beautiful...

...Eyes, got left behind
A wall of guilt inside
A sanctuary for the blind

When I look back
All that I see is chaos
My legacy in life

Still I believe
You are the only one for me
Your presence here
An everlasting dream

I, I crave your soul
Deep down below
Still lost inside your beautiful...

...Eyes, got left behind
A wall of guilt inside
A sanctuary for the blind

I, still lost inside your beautiful... eyes

07. Help Me

They call me sister of mercy
They call me keeper of time
They love me, adore me
They're facing the power divine

Destroying their own kind
They're killing mother and child
They're willing to wage
A war that is holy and blind

Help me
I can't find the reason
Justify your treason
I can no longer be
Your almighty God

They're wearing silver and gold
While others die in their homes
They're spreading their false words
A trade of salvation and souls

How long has it been
Since you last confessed your sins
They call you, deceive you
While they are pulling your strings

Help me
I can't find the reason
Justify your treason
I can no longer be
Your almighty God

08. Survive

You left is us in the dark
When you were needed most
I can't believe the things
You asked of me to be

You did betray our trust
Destroyed our only dream
You never wanted us
The signs were always there

When just two souls remained
You hoped that we were done
Did you enjoy our pain
You thought that you had won

The story never ends
And we are still alive
Stop calling us your friends
You're dead, we will survive

How come you did not believe
The things we wanted to be
If you were dying to play
Why did you cower away

How come you did not believe
The things we wanted to be
You left but we're still alive
We will survive

You think your words are laws
Written on walls of gold
Just think again, you fool
Your scripts are bought and sold

Our story goes on
And we are still alive
Your life's an empty book
Goodbye, we will survive

How come you did not believe
The things we wanted to be
If you were dying to play
Why did you cower away

How come you did not believe
The things we wanted to be
You left but we're still alive
We will survive

We did not die
We're still alive
We will not die
We will survive

09. Speed (Man and Machine)

Black screen of death smiles upon your face
Before you'll have your chance, I'm gone without a trace
Just step outside, there's nowhere left to go
Your words are data streams, I still posses my soul

Not for long

Speed, burning faster
Speed, born disaster
Speed, get away
Speed, here to stay

My firewalls are there to feel your pain
Your old encryption's no match for my brain
I scan your life, target your loopholes
Embrace the human spirit, you can't posses my soul

Not for long

Speed, burning faster
Speed, born disaster
Speed, get away
Speed, here to stay with

Man and machine

It seems all your efforts have been in vain
You cannot add machines to a human brain
The symbiotic bond still remains a dream
We're living in the age of man and machine

Speed, burning faster
Speed, born disaster
Speed, get away
Speed, here to stay with

Man and machine

10. Nine Point Seven

You have been warned
(You have been warned)
It's getting closer
Before you know
(Before you know)
It will be over

Have you lost your entire mind
Nothing to lose, no one to find
You cannot fight it, cannot ignore it
Please take a seat, accept and enjoy it

Nine point seven
It's coming for you
Nine point seven
Nowhere to go
Nine point seven
Your time to die
Nine point seven
End of the line

You are a fool
(You are a fool)
For staying here
You'll never know
(You'll never know)
When it appears

Have you lost your entire mind
Nothing to lose, no one to find
You cannot fight it, cannot ignore it
Please take a seat, accept and enjoy it

Nine point seven
It's coming for you
Nine point seven
Nowhere to go
Nine point seven
Your time to die
Nine point seven
End of the line
