Searching for power, who is to blame?
You weak little bastard - bound to symbols of pain Hiding in shadows, a pungent smell You haven't decide your own fate cause Your story of life is too bitter to tell Your dying eyes with a cowards reflection, Heading for the true direction, forward to die! Bastard Chain, with souls so lame the bastards chain Bastard Chain, with souls so lame A Bastards chain So you say your mind belongs to them? Turned upside down again and again and again Feel ashame, feel ashame Yourself to blame, yourself to blame Only yourself... Only yourself you can blame! only yourself you can blame! Helpless you will devour, Everything that comes before your eyes Citizens of restless power, never let your scorn rule your fate... Your fate!! ...always dragging you down, to the ground, A disgrace, a disgrace, your "masterpiece", your "masterrace" Only yourself... only yourself you can blame! Only yourself you can blame! Hey! Won't you tell me your name and justify your way of thinking Walking the stairs of the manipulated ones Only yourself... only yourself you can blame! Only yourself you can blame ! 02. Like an average stalker
I think you just forgot to tell me why,
Why I was fading out again Why my mask of sanity was slipping off again, my friend Beware of hatred when your time stands still Like the average stalker Forge to forgive Like the average stalker I'm just sliding, disappear into the night Like a strange and a forgotten light One, two, three, four and I'm at your door Calculating infinity In my silence where no one else can hear, What is right, what is wrong (right, wrong) In my silence where no one else forgives Where the sane and insane strikes together as one Where is the fire, it makes no sense at all I'm just hiding beneath the hour Disabled through affliction I can't reach out Reach out, reach out In my silence where no one else can hear What is right what is wrong (right, wrong) In my silence where no one else forgive Where the sane and insane strikes together as one With a violent work of art I proceed, In this lack of faith I get what I need, what I need! Like the average stalker, Forge to forget, Like the average stalker, Like a silent talker, Like the average stalker 03. Needlefeast
Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show it makes no difference where I'll go Push injections in my skin To make my mission begin Needles to fly, needlefeast, needles to die, needlefeast Gotta get inside, gotta get inside, needles to die needles to fly Burning up my hunger, lay it all to rest! Waking up my hostile pain, put it to the test When all is said and done I tell you I'm the one The one to reign supreme I'm like a brickwall I'm a solid player and I'm standing tall Who can make me fall On this very road... Needles to fly, needlefeast, needles to die, needlefeast Gotta get inside, gotta get inside, needles to die needles to fly Fly! Fly! Fly! This life I cannot face it, with the writings on the wall, This time - it's hard to face it As I'm screaming what am I doing here?! I bite the days like a suctionpump Another breath, another punch It makes me catch my breath Needles to fly, needlefeast, needles to die, needlefeast Gotta get inside, gotta get inside, needles to die needles to fly Fly! Fly! Fly! Before you steal my breath away I like to know if I was led astray Neurosis comes to me at night It holds the truth cause I'm... One for the money, two for the show Straight to hell is where I go! Go!Go!Go! This life I cannot face it, with the writings on the wall This time - it's hard to face it As I'm screaming... What am I doing here?! 04. Neurotica rampage
Neurotica you player and daughter of mine
Don't you think I know what's all behind I suck on your evil punches that my grants soul tumble and roll You give me strength to break my chains Demonic assaults is all that remains Raising hell within my veins, Claim it's right to play those games You're making me repeat myself again Bury the hatchet, light my torch A true believer, a deadly force You're making my sore eyes live again The wrath of my demon Is all that I can give back to you No use for solitude It's better to be burned And not to learn that your master will return You give me strength to break my chains Demonic assaults is all that remains Raising hell within my veins Claim it's right to play those games You're making me repeat myself again Bury the hatchet,light my torch A true believer, a deadly force You're making my sore eyes live again Hear! hear them say it's so clear What's behind and so near Hear them say it's so clear... That you're one of them Look at the inside and tell me that everything there is so sane You're so affective and only got your roots to blamed You give me strength to break my chains Demonic assaults is all that remains Raising hell within my veins, Claim it's right to play those games You're making me repeat myself again Bury the hatchet, light my torch A true believer, a deadly force You're making my sore eyes live again You give me strength to break my chains Demonic assaults is all that remains 05. The analyst
Straight forward on the path of life
Who makes you choose that way Is it a crime to give it all up To leave it all behind Oh...this is all so crystal clear Going on in shallow blindness To watch the madmen sort things out No time to spill Isn't it such a thrill? By self-deception I am bound to take it seriously I'm way beyond, I've put myself in such horrible way to go I think you just made a big mistake... This is just a fake cause I am Guilty by association, sinner of mankind, I'm forced to build my life upon this, hidden path I just can't find. Well...is this all so crystal clear? Sometimes it seems like time stands still Demolish myself at free will Can you watch me burn As the sun goes down and my life is overturned, Can I identify myself with the judgement that I'm facing here Can't deny, won't deny that I'm level with the ground by fear Punished and banished I kill the ways of life You predict and restrict my views in the hands of time You wear the face of desperate man displacing his fatal actions Refuse to recall the miserable times of stupid and naive attractions Going on in shallow blindness To watch the madmen sort things out No time to spill, Isn't it such a thrill? By self-deception I am bound to take it seriously I'm way beyond, I've put myself in such a horrible way to go I think you just made a big mistake... This conversation's over The analyst may have won this case of Discrimination and nothing but lies This fallen era makes me wonder Is it worth it when your dignity dies 06. Grand failure anthem
Look at the pale face in the sky
It seems so ravaged inside the sense of rage is burning my eyes Burning in my eyes, burning to deny I'm apart of a fallen machine Which reflects my life of misery Please guide my way through fallen galaxies Grand Failure anthem You'll never see what you've become We want to get some well-earned respect before we choke Well, there isn't anything that will kill our lust, our lust for power... They say: "may you get an hour in Heaven before the devil knows your dead!" Grand failure anthem You'll never see what you've become We'll never get some well-earned respect cause we have... Failed! Failed! Failed! Ripped another spine til'the end of time Failed! Failed! Failed! We're being flushed down the drain And the one you hate Will suddenly be yourself And it's all to late... Anything, anything what will Make my conscience clean Is there anyone out there Who can restore what we have destroyed? Grand failure anthem You'll never see what you've become We'll never ever get some well-earned respect cause we have... Failed! Failed! Failed! Ripped another spine 'till the end of time Failed! Failed! Failed! We're being flushed down the drain Disruptive and bound to kill itself The face of earth will turn When you're crawling to the cross And your inner thoughts reveal themselves Grand failure anthem You'll never see what you've become We'll never get some well-earned respect cause we have... Failed! Failed! Failed! Ripped another spine 'till the end of time Failed! Failed! Failed! We're being flushed down the drain... So you have died, you pale face in the sky The rage is burning...burning my eyes I'm blind Grand failure anthem We'll never see what we've become We'll never get some, well earned respect... 07. Structure divine
Cause I can't find pleasure anywhere,
This life is strangling me If I would turn myself inside out Would I find peace of mind, would I find peace of mind? And when the silence remains And all the fields stays the same It isn't different from the power that it holds Now,where is the pain?, As I gaze between my desires There's a shadow and a bleeder every once in a while, Can't you see my eyes they're trembling Beware the millions of senses locked in this rusty cage, A fanatic rage this time I will stand still And no blood will be spilled Yeah, I think I'm loosing it, Back to normal a feast on the moral, served on a silver plate... And when the silence remains And all the fields stays the same It isn't different from the power that it holds Now, where is my pain? A big hail to my sadistic pleasures They saved my soul for a special price As I begin to fade, the creature cries So I'm heading for another one that will Watch me raise my bloodstained banner No questions asked, No question asked A competition that will last until the silent one will speak So this is it, is this the century sun? Mother of destruction, please let me be the one to know Father of my pure aggression, don't cut the way where I will go 08. Shadowchild
I lick the surface of a freedom ride
Under a hammering light....I scream! Let's roll the dice of the future Burning in my hand I've built destruction upon the velvet skies Maybe I'm strong, maybe I'm wrong Lead us Shadowchild - soiled bu your faith in disguise Shadowside - reflecting the eyes I'm raising hell, a magic spell Pain and pleasure together as one I will recall, I will recall When I'm down the stairs.... I spit human cries, I can feel when they lie My sun being one with the...universe Hear my call Creating my crown from the millions of lights I'm abused beyond recognition Pre-Millenium futuristic I predict you all to live Under an individual sun We're all collecting our senses and run... Lead us, Shadowchild - soiled bu your faith in disguise Shadowside - reflecting the eyes Lead us Shadowchild - the truth's lying far from your life Shadowside - reflecting the eyes... 09. Final fatal force
Forevermore, fucked, strapped to the floor
Headlong while I'm pissing on your floor Nameless, clueless a brick in the game Soon to be removed from the face of the earth Is this a human feast? I was in slumber...now! Am I to be released? Way down in my electric pit Where all you gimps reign supreme Where I by your strings are dangling Twinkle, twinkle, dangling tip, tap, toe Is this a human feast? I was in slumber...now! Am I to be released? At least I had a hunger for more! Final, fatal, fatal force, feed the flame once more Final, fatal, fatal force to get rid of yourself This final verdict with a diabolical view Can I ever be free from what is pulling me through Narcissistic, pure electric the savior incarnated Is this a human feast? I was in slumber...now! Am I to be released? At least I had a hunger for more! So you say I'm just a wicked soul, well watch me operate!! So you see me coming back for more You trace my steps like a dawg Nameless, clueless a brick in the game Soon to be removed from the face of the earth Is this a human feast? I was in slumber...now! Am I to be released? At least I had a hunger for more! 10. A predator's portrait
A lesson in democracy, I will never, never be
A servant of a moral standard, a rebelsoul for the free I scream and I burn, I deny what I've learned Can't fight what's inside, on this blasphemous ride Here I stand! Cause he will remain, will remain the same He's a part of the game and he will remain As I cry for more The angels burn their core Let the evil saints have their way When I'm heading for oblivion. Achieving my goals in everyway In malicious ways I hail the insane Nevertheless:my broken promises I scream and I burn,I deny what I've learned Can't fight what's inside,on this blasphemous ride Here I fall! Now, take a look at the predator's portrait Cause these walls are closing in! Now, take a look at the predator's portrait Cause these walls come tumbling down Come watch me bleed one more time! No substitute left to find!, All that I hear is what I preach! A mighty soul is what I keep! I step on the face whose dragging me down Fed up with the precious talk Like a sinner revealing himself again Now his down and out, and ready to strike, His ready to strike, his ready to strike, to clear his very inside |
