01. Epitaph

Yeah
Keep on struggling
With a world on your shoulders
A thin line between you
And this parasitic void

Breathe in
And this parasitic void
Bleed out

Yeah
Your body's broken
Your senses collapsed
Perceive the absence
Of pure innocence

Fading
Of this pure innocence
Falling

With mouths open
We swallow
Each word ever spoken

Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way (no way)
Of denying (denying)
The words of my own death

The end of the line
It's coming closer
In sight

Retribution
Will take its place
Retaliation
Is my escape

Fading
This is the end of my line
Falling
It's coming closer
In sight

Retaliation
My line
Retribution
Will take place

Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way
Of denying
The words of my own death

This is the end of my line

Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way
Of denying
The words of my own death

It's written on my epitaph
There is no way
Of denying
The words of my own death
My own death

02. Carbonman

Once born within the same core
Death over life is what we adore
Acid clouds and iron skies
Out of the dead we will arise

We are all carbonman
A universe in us
Forever in us

The Earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends

The triumph of the dead realm
Centuries of human decay
Aamon calls
We obey

We are all carbonman
(Carbonman)
A universe in us
Oh, Lord (oh, Lord), forgive us

The Earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends

We're all
We are all carbonman
A universe in us
That's what we are
That's what we are

The Earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends

The Earth does know who we are
A fellowship from the same star
Collapsed and exploded
Scattering our guts
A universe in us
That is what we are
What we are
That's precisely what we are
Just by being alive

03. Berserk

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts

Yeah

Maybe we ruined it
Our lives among the dead
Adapt and rearrange
The inner fight for words to curse

This is my final prayer
This is my final wish to bleed

Are we still alive?
Let's slit and see
Are we still alive?
Let's slit and see

So bear your agony
You spoke of friendship
But you meant worship

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts

Yeah

Maybe we fought in vain
Our lives amongst the pain
Adapted in agony
The inner fight for words to solve

Maybe we fought in vain
Maybe we fought in vain

We are still alive
Why can't you see?
Are we still alive?
Let's slit and see

So bear your agony
You spoke of friendship?
Liar

Oh, we met in blood and dust
From the beginning we were lost
Now in the end, all is bust

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts

We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk (berserk)
With blackened hearts

With blackened hearts
With blackened hearts

04. Blood Ghost

A repent council
Feasting from night to day
No excuse, nor consciousness
Pure essence of decay

I speak the truth (yeah)
A downfall cannot be beared
In dignity

My vicious nightmare
Still drenched in blood and lust
I'm breathing, yet suffocating
Memories to dust

Hold me
Please cure me from
The loneliness that constantly
Pulls me down

A repent council
Feasting from night to day
No excuse, nor consciousness
Pure essence of decay

There's a spark in the dark
I sense my inner fear
There's a path through my heart
I'll follow it, I'll reconcile

Hold me
Please cure me from
The loneliness that constantly
Pulls me down

'Cause when the bloodthirst hunts
'Cause when the bloodthirst hunts
'Cause when the bloodthirst hunts
I finally fade away

Lies sworn above all
This vicious circle
Consuming all my thoughts
Clenched within my chest
Until I'm dead

Yeah

Sworn above all
Sworn above all
Yeah

Hold me
Please cure me from
(Cure me from)
The loneliness that constantly
Pulls me down

When bloodthirst hunts
When the bloodthirst hunts us all
I speak the truth

Lies sworn above
Lies sworn above
Lies sworn above
Lies sworn above all
Yeah

05. Hybris

Let's die

Say hello to your fate
The end comes closer
We ain't got nothing to hide
Through the spiral of hate
Let's ride
Carry on the serpents' will to kill

Is this the way of life?
Accelerated?
None of the dreams
We once created

None owns a heart
Seems we forgot about it
But our suffering becomes accomplished
Where is the way out of the dark?
Where is my weapon?
Is my heart?

Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray and forgotten
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief

Yeah

The release from this plague
When hell breaks loose
Boundaries burst
Into skies full of rage
Let's fly
Blood-red nights are the core

Is this the way of life?
Accelerated?
None of the dreams
We once created

Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray (astray) and forgotten (and forgotten)
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief

The end
Poising straight on the edges
Straight through the surface
Fading
Torn apart on the inside
Dead on the outside

Forgive us our sins
As we've forgiven those
Who sin against us
And lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
Forever pretend

Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray (astray) and forgotten (and forgotten)
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief

Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray and forgotten
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief

06. Wrath/Salvation

Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation

Blood runs down
I lose control
My life fades
I can't feel no more
Hopefully
I will keep my soul

I'm bleeding through my common sense
My common sense
I die, my heart's shattered to ruins

Scattered dreams
Our time runs out
Our end will come
And I have no doubt
That deep inside
My broken heart
My heart, my very core
I'll slowly disappear

Born to obey
'Cause only ash remains
Sworn to decay
I give up, my eyes turn black

Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation

Relief will come, it's close
No matter how much you deny
I have finally found a way
To my last goodbye
My heart, my very core
Will let you slowly disappear

Born to obey
'Cause only ash remains
Sworn to decay
I give up, my eyes turn black

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm falling down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm falling down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm falling to pieces
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm falling down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm falling down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm falling to pieces

Yeah
I'm falling to pieces
To pieces
Yeah
I'm falling to

Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation

Born to obey
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sworn to decay
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

07. Backstory Wound

This darkened
Path we've walked
Led us to nightmares
We're unable to escape

Time runs out
Souls are fading
In a world
Built on our betrayal, yeah

We saved a million lives, but there are more
Just by knowing there will be a cure
I can stay alive, keep going on
What have I become?

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down

We are blinded
By deadly venom
Jaws dripping
With saliva

In time we're born to beg and kneel
Our minds are formed from ash and greed
The sky opens its veins to bleed
All life seems so fragile to me

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown

Can I hope for a better world?
Or should I pray for my soon death?

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown

08. Ein Deutsches Requiem

Selig sind, die da Leid tragen
Denn sie sollen getröstet werden
Die mit Tränen säen
Werden mit Freuden ernten

Selig sind, die da Leid tragen
Denn sie sollen getröstet werden
Die mit Tränen säen
(Werden mit Freuden ernten)

Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?

Ach, wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen
Die doch so sicher leben
Der Gerechten Seele
Keine Qual rühret sie an

Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?

Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit
Aber ich will euch wiedersehen
Euer Herz soll sich freuen
Eure Freude soll niemand von euch nehmen

Wir werden nicht alle entschlafen
Zu der Zeit der letzten Posaune
Der Tod ist verschlungen in den Sieg

Selig sind die Toten
Von nun an
Selig sind die Toten
Von nun an
Denn ihre Werke
Folgen ihnen nach

Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?

Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit
Aber ich will euch wiedersehen
Euer Herz soll sich freuen
Eure Freude soll niemand von euch nehmen

Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?

09. Vergebung

Instrumental

10. Welcome Deathrow

Yeah
Yeah

I won't complain
Since I watched me die
Soul and body reconciled
A nightmare overloaded
Enragement uncontrolled

Open your veins and let go
Unfold your wings for eternity

Welcome, deathrow
Bow down, let go

I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September

And I won't complain
Since I fell asleep
Old scars began to bleed
My senses overloaded
Thy hate grows uncontrolled

Absolution of existence
I sense the streams of blood
Carry my perception
Cut out my mortal soul

Our crime
Our cries
Your saviors' endless hate
A savior
A savior blind with rage
For you and me

I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September

I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September

A song for a broken man
Again down on your knees
Hell, where is your victory?
This is your last goodbye
To life, this time

Yeah, your heaven is raining blood
Even the ground is red flooded
The spark ignites itself
Open your eyes

Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow

I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September

(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
(A broken man)
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)

A broken man
A dying world
A broken man
A dying world
A broken man
A dying world
A broken man
A dying world
A broken man
A dying world
A broken man
A dying world

11. Uncivil Hands

[MORNING AGAIN Cover]

Move towards the light
Freedom achieved with time
Uncivilized hands tainted far too deep
By a remembrance of the past

A product of this world
A product of your world
Will this stain remain?
Will it always be the same?

A life free from pain cannot exist
With all that surrounds
We can't set an example of what's right
With all that surrounds
A product of your world
A product of your world

We can't always rebuild
All that's been destroyed
We can't always rebuild
All that's been destroyed

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was what you made me

Peaceful existence denied
Wash these uncivil hands
Existence denied

Yeah, peaceful existence denied
Wash these uncivil hands
Existence denied

My statement of life in a dying world
My statement of life in a dying world

It's my statement
It's my statement
It's my statement of life
In a dying world

I've moved toward the light
I've seen it over time
Uncivilized hands becoming tainted
From the past I find

I've moved toward the light
I've seen it over time
Uncivilized hands becoming tainted
From the past I find

I've moved toward the light
I've seen it over time
Uncivilized hands become tainted
From the past I find

I've moved toward the light
I've seen it over time
Uncivilized hands become tainted
From the past I find

My statement of life in a dying world
My statement of life in a dying world

It's my statement
It's my statement
My statement of life
In a dying world

I've moved toward the light
I've seen it over time
Uncivilized hands becoming tainted
From the past I find

I've moved toward the light
I've seen it over time
Uncivilized hands becoming tainted
From the past I find

12. Fight Song

[MARILYN MANSON Cover]

Nothing suffocates you more than
The passing of everyday human events
And isolation is the oxygen mask
You make your children breathe in to survive

But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
But I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit

And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds

Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight

You'll never grow up to be
A big rock star celebrated victim of your fame
They'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons
And say that death was on sale today

And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
But I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit

The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
But death of a million is just a statistic

But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
But I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit

And I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit

Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
