01. Experimental Flesh

Experiments involving human flesh
In an age reversing procedure

Experimental flesh we used in our tests
To someday find a cure for this elderly disease

The problems we've experienced
Is finding enough flesh for our needs

It's time, we need more flesh
To continue as planned
Fresh kill, young girl
Don't damage her facial skin

This is insane, do as I say
Or you'll pay the price
Forced to kill at a madman's will

Forced to kill at a madman's will
Or I'll pay the price
Well I'll kill this last time for science
I might be doing what's right

Forced to kill at a madman's will
Or I'll pay the price
Well I'll kill this last time for science
I might be doing what's right

Spotted a girl, walking home
Through the park, late at night
I knocked her down, grabbed a rope
Tightened harder around her throat
Started twitching, turning blue
Tightened harder 'til she choked

Oh no!
What have I done?
I've killed again for this theory

Experiments won't work for age reversal

Experiments with human flesh
In an age reversing procedure

Experimental flesh we used in our tests
To someday find a cure for this elderly disease

The problems we experience is finding
Enough flesh for our needs

Sit in padded cell, my body's cold, mind in hell
All those people that I killed and for what, a madman's thrill
Science and loyalty wasn't worth the price I paid
And this doctor continues experiments today

02. Re-Creation

Re-creation of the soul
Formation of the man
To live a second life
To get another chance

To see again, touch, use waste
Hear, fear, reject, save

Re-creation, I'm real again
Conceived by woman
Made from man
You have to die first to understand

Re-creation to live again
To hear again, talk, live, fear
Learn, neglect, pollute, destroy

Souls released, screaming in pain
In purgatory they rot
Swarming waiting until they're placed
Among the living or the dead

Souls released, screaming in pain
In purgatory they rot
Swarming waiting until they're placed
Among the living or the dead

Are you human? Delivered from flesh and bones
Are you evil? Do you believe in hell on earth?
Were you chosen to live forever or suffer?
Are you evil? Can you control? Do you understand?

Are you human? Delivered from flesh and bones
Are you evil? Do you believe in hell on earth?

Souls released, screaming in pain
In purgatory they rot
Swarming waiting until they're placed
Among the living or the dead

Souls released, screaming in pain
In purgatory they rot
Swarming waiting until they're placed
Among the living or the dead

Life spent on this earth can be so painful
Temptation to return is stronger

Re-creation
Eternal damnation

Life spent on this earth can be so painful
Temptation to return is stronger

Re-creation
Eternal damnation

Life spent on this earth can be so painful
Temptation to return is stronger

Re-creation
Eternal damnation

Now that you are alive again
Now that you can see again

Are you content with your new life?
Now that you've been re-created

03. Demons Of My Past

They haunt me with the sound of ripping flesh
Taunt me with the sight of a woman's breast
Try to feed me and feed me until I bite
Poison me with chemicals that I consume
Envenom me with the sweet nectar of the clit
Demons of my past
Demons of my past!

Slam me down, tear me apart
Suck my life from my very soul
Slam me down, tear me apart
Suck my life from my very soul

Demons of my past haunt me every day
Confusing me, driving me insane
Days are filled, riding morbid thoughts
Nights are spent in sleepless pain
To fight them only make you weaker
For they always have their way with you

I am scared inside and out
My body looks battered
But my soul still tries to hide
The fear of losing my grip
The fear of losing my mind
Holding onto me
Unable to speak free
Frozen for eternity

Days are filled, riding morbid thoughts
Nights are spent in sleepless pain
To fight them only make you weaker
For they always have their way with you
I am scared inside and out
My body looks battered
But my soul still tries to hide

The fear of losing my grip
The fear of losing my mind

Holding onto me
Unable to speak free
Frozen for eternity
To break this spell would mean my defeat

I am scared inside and out
My body looks battered
But my soul still tries to hide

Demons of my past, I cannot escape
Demons of my past will tear my soul apart
Demons of my past changed my life in many ways
Demons of my past, demons!

Demons of my past, I cannot escape
Demons of my past will tear my soul apart
Demons of my past changed my life in many ways
Demons of my past, demons!

To walk through blackened caves
To work for like a slave
Held within its power
Powerless you suffer, suffer

To walk through blackened caves
To work for like a slave
Held within its power
Powerless you suffer, suffer

To walk through blackened caves
To work for like a slave
Held within its power
Powerless you suffer, suffer

To walk through blackened caves
To work for like a slave
Held within its power
Powerless you suffer, suffer
Held within its power
Powerless you suffer, suffer

04. Not Human

To fall of man
End of his sanity
The rise of evil
Departure from reality
The rise of evil
Departure from reality
To fall of man
End of his sanity
Not human
No, not us
Ungodly evil
Sex and drugs we lust
Not human
No, not us
Ungodly evil
Sex and drugs we lust
To fall of man
End of his sanity
The rise of evil
Departure from reality

Untimely patterns, we decay
The world around us takes the shape of a human skull

Untimely patterns, we decay
The world around us takes the shape of a human skull
Skull!

I believe that we haven't seen the darkest days
Massive disease, poverty, blasphemy, incest
Who care less, abortion yes, take this mess

Toxic waste, dispose it here
The money makes it right

I believe that we haven't seen the darkest of days
Massive disease

Poverty, blasphemy, incest
Who care less, abortion, yes
Take this mess
Toxic waste, dispose it here

Purity has vanished
Humanity's at war
Acts of violence so brutal
The people are fazed no more
The time has come for a change
But no one's got the plan
The time has come for us
To make this a better land

Not human
Not human

To fall of man
End of his sanity
The rise of evil
Departure from reality

Not human
No, not us
Ungodly evil
Sex and drugs we lust

05. Fist Of God

No one alive will ever know what happens to you when you die
Heaven, hell, purgatory, it's too confusing

Is our soul really given destiny?
So who's the one to decide?
Whether your soul will burn or be glorified
Is there a judge in this jury?

Powers of good invested upon all of mankind
Powers of good invested upon all of mankind

Reading the Bible, you won't understand
Those who wrote has a master plan
To bring hope and fear to all who read
To protect the holy, condemn the unholy

Resurrection! Crucifixion! Incantation!
Armageddon! Ten Commandments!

Ten Commandments! Armageddon!
Incantation! Crucifixion! Resurrection!

Glory be to Father, Son, Holy Spirit
As it as in the beginning now
And forever will be world without end
Amen!

It's hard to believe in what you have seen
You believe in what God stands for
You know when you've sinned
Can't you feel the guilt?
Or don't you have a conscience?

When you die
Will you see the light?
When you die
Will you feel his might?
Is there a heaven
Is there a hell?
What do you believe?
I'm asking your opinion

No one alive will ever know what happens to you when you die
Heaven, hell, purgatory, it's too confusing

Is our soul really given destiny?
So who's the one to decide?
Whether your soul will burn or be glorified
Is there a judge in this jury?

Powers of good invested upon all of mankind
Powers of good invested upon all of mankind

Reading the Bible you won't understand
Those who wrote has a master plan
To bring hope and fear to all who read
To protect the holy, condemn the unholy

Is there a heaven
Is there a hell?
What do you believe?
I'm asking your opinion

Fist of God!
I don't want to die!
I don't want to die!
Fist of God!

06. Mutated Form

Many years have passed now
Can still catch myself reflecting
On what had passed and what's to come

Seeing what's been seen
Looks like the horror's just begun
Living in the shadows
Of the plague and what it's done

In the beginning, things weren't so bad
The mutated were many but easy to kill
Now they've multiplied so quickly
Soon the survivors will become like them

The fear of nuclear war was so great
That we overlooked this pestilence
The great was lasted seven years
Before the deadly disease started eating away at mankind

Flashbacks frozen in my mind
Of the war and watching people die
Soldiers of death dressed in black
Generals orders to attack

Flashbacks frozen in my mind
Of the war and watching people die

Welcome to the darkest side of town
Death and mutilation is all that surrounds me
Look into my eyes and you'll see what I have seen

Flashbacks frozen in my mind
Of the war and watching people die
Soldiers of death dressed in black
Generals orders to attack

07. Dying Time

Life
Death
Rebirth
A beginning and end of time we face each day

Evil's presence so strong
World leaders are insane
Universal decay
AIDS and cancer are the 20th century plagues

How can you control something you can't stop?
How can you stop something you can't control?
The human race is headed for extinction
The more you feed us, the more we eat

Take this away
The pain is too great
A dying time
Planet's devastation
Man, a greed-feeding power
Hungry tyrant
In the end
We all will pay

Killing machine, drug dealers dream
A chopped up corpse, hookers' juice
Young men with AIDS, priests that are gay
These are the horrors we're dealing with today

We the people of the fucked-up nation
We the people of society's deterioration
We t hashed of man's frustration

Living dead on borrowed time
Intelligence and integrity are our killers

I don't see any changes in our future
Things appear to be worsening year by year

Every day, I look at the people
Think to myself, how short life is
All different tongues, all different faces
A dying time, all man must die

Every day, I look at the people
Look into myself, what do I see?
All different signs, all different places
Walk thru my life, how long can I live?

08. Biomorphic Horrors

Reality is life
Fantasy is death
Biomorphic horrors will take your last breath
Deep beneath the surface
The realms of hatred arise
Shooting through your body
Taking on new form

Reality is life
Fantasy is death
Biomorphic horrors will take your last breath

Deep beneath the surface
The realms of hatred arise
Shooting through your body
Taking on new form

Created by man's own fear to overcome
To persevere, taken from the frozen flesh
To be used with no respect on the one who's chosen it
No one has stopped it yet

Chemical imbalance
Blood rushes to your brain
You have lost control of your mind
But you're not dead
Scientist have worked so long
No such experiment quite so strong

Reality is life
Fantasy is death
Biomorphic horrors will take your last breath

Deep beneath the surface
The realms of hatred arise
Shooting through your body
Taking on new form

Created by man's own fear to overcome
To persevere, taken from the frozen flesh
To be used with no respect on the one who's chosen it
No one has stopped it yet

09. Tombstones

Darkness has fallen upon the land
Where tombstones lie
Eerie old cemetery
Reminder we all must die
Crosses and flowers parade around graves

Tragedy and sorrow fills the autumn air
Hearse delivers coffin to its home

Saddened mourners dressed in black
Parade around a hole that will be sealed
Praying for everlasting life
As they lower you down for eternity

People they chant
Rest in peace

Peace or pieces, most men don't care
You're dead now, gone ever more
Entombed in a coffin
Tombstone as your guide
Life's uncertain, death is not

Peace or pieces, most men don't care
You're dead now, gone ever more
Entombed in a coffin
Tombstone as your guide
Life's uncertain, death is not

Funeral service is over
His family starts to leave
And old lonely groundsman tries to make this burial complete
Looking down at the ground he spits and says:

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Pray for dead, we must
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Pray for dead, we must!"

Learning to respect the dead is easy
Know you're going to die is not

Learning to respect the dead is easy
Know you're going to die is not

Darkness has fallen
Land where tombstones lie
Eerie old cemetery
Reminder we all must die
Crosses and flowers parade around graves
Tragedy and sorrow fills the autumn air

10. Hypnosis

A spell's been put on you
Inside your mind you can hear the screams
To life a life full of pain
Sanity sacrifice another man's gain
To fill the needs for a desperate plane

Visions, dreams seeping through seams
Life, death last breath, realities accepted
Freeze frame, slow pain, move fast
Time won't last, energy burns rapid

Deranged place, no trace, rat race, prime kill
Blood spill, his dream fulfilled
Many years, death, tears, feeding fears
Creating ways, endless days to get the work done

Visions, dreams seeping through seams
Life, death last breath, realities accepted
Freeze frame, slow pain, move fast
Time won't last, energy burns rapid

Master plan is through stage one
Hypnosis works, phase two has begun
Body control, mindless robot
Perfect humans wrongly chosen

Strapped to a chair, the next victim awaits
To give up his beliefs, to give up his faith
Contact through your eyes, a brain full of lies
Makes you believe that what you're doing is right

Hypnosis has frozen the power to control
Kill and destroy is what you've been told
Once in a trance you are now possessed
A non-violent person put to the test

Hypnosis has frozen the power to control
Kill and destroy is what you've been told

You've tried to break the chains
But it's a power that can't be refused
See the other victims in pain from his insane rage
Using humans for violence and pleasure
He has never endured
Stare closely into his maze
Please, don't be afraid!
