01. Column Of Grey

Civilized temples in black, white and grey
Walls closing in from around
Wherever you turn the night is the day
You accept this and utter no sound
And now - this voice from afar
Coloured in purple and red
It calls - it calls out your name
Reaches your soul yet not dead

Why don't you tell me the truth
Pain - repays - stealing your youth

Life as you know it exposed to the sand
Your self assurance breaking away
You cover it up by tightening the bands
Curse the things that set you astray
Doubts now cover your mind
Again turning colours so black
The fear turned up from behind
You didn't cover your back

You stifle your lust
Turn your back on the day
You must - swallow the dust
Colour the column of grey

Why don't you tell me the truth
Pain - repays - stealing your youth

The solid ground on which you stand
A tower ready to fall
Without an open mind it won't expand
Don't force yourself to crawl
Truth - sealed by a bond
Cracking but only by will
Open up - and let it blast through
The light is there to thrill

You stifle your lust
Turn your back on the day
You must - swallow the dust
Colour the column of grey

02. The Way Of All Flesh

Active life surround my eyes,
Like ants progressing to the hill
Back and forth a pole in the ground
Something for time to kill
My weary mind, captured in this bundle of flesh,
My pleasure is my pain
Blind eyes can see your path is mystaken
Those with lights - are those to win

I will - create - a labyrinth where all exits are shut
The cause - of death - mistaken since it's all in your mind

The way - of all flesh
Lust within flames beneath
The way - of all flesh
Again your conscience breathe

You trample your circles around,
Both eyes shut, your god ain't crowned
Come to me and I'll seal your fate,
Commit your sins and feel your hate
Reality is bound to be washed away,
Open eyes will show the way
We are all and all are one,
We won't commit until all is done

I will - create - a labyrinth where all exits are shut
The cause - of death - mistaken since it's all in your mind

The way
The way
The way - of all flesh

The way - I can see it
The way - I can feel it
The way - Of all flesh

03. Within The Silence

If you could see what I cannot be
You'd understand why I can't be whole
Life is piercing me on its spike
My unawareness is taking its toll
I can feel things you would never understand
The pain so satisfying in the silence
Everytime I go there someone brings me back
My calmness turning into violence

Only an arm's length is holding me back
Reality flushed through my head
What I can see my hands cannot touch
The silence must not be fed
Sometimes - I wish I was there with you
There in the silence where our worlds collide
But this would be purely mental suicide

All this pressure that's building up
Temptation makes me weak
The way you do the things you do
Just take me back - take me with you

The barrier is there and closing in
Soon it will have passed me by
It meant not to be, I still want to go
And I can't stop wondering why
My conscious mind is fighting back
Unconscious though I may be
Dying - fighting - the trial, my choice to live again

All this pressure that's building up
Temptation makes me weak
Bending - giving in
Cannot live - got to be

Within the silence
The silence is complete
Within the silence
My God - is dead - and lying by my feet
Within the silence

If you could see what I cannot be
You'd understand why I can't be whole
Life is piercing me on its spike
My unawareness is taking its toll
I can feel things you would never understand
The pain so satisfying in the silence
Everytime I go there someone brings me back
My calmness turning into violence

Only an arm's length is holding me back
Reality flushed through my head
What I can see my hands cannot touch
The silence must not be fed
Sometimes - I wish I was there with you
There in the silence where our worlds collide
But this would be purely mental suicide

All this pressure that's building up
Temptation makes me weak
Bending - giving in
Cannot live - got to be

Within the silence
The silence is complete
Within the silence
My God - is dead - and lying by my feet
Within the silence

04. Esoteric Traditions

You have lived your life in mystery
Unaware of the unknown
You can still the body, but not the soul
Of the feeling of not being alone
Your own deep mind is pulsing with life
But of this you nothing know
No time now to regret your choice
Withut salvation you will go

The immortal soul takes many bodies
Acquiring experience and character growth in each
Discarding each as its use is fulfilled
And taking new ones until the highest is reached
The different viewpoints we all have
Influence our attitude towards life in different ways
To the one, death is the end of all
To the other, just the end of a phase

The atheist belief the dark pit of life
A pit in which so many dwell
Denying the facts so often proved
You don't care, you do nothing
And you do it well

Esoteric traditions, the knowledge of the cabalistic tree
Esoteric traditions, the art of healing and esoteric philosophy

The right hand path is the one I'll tread.

The immortal soul takes many bodies
Acquiring experience and character growth in each
Discarding each as its use is fulfilled
And taking new ones until the highest is reached
The different viewpoints we all have
Influence our attitude towards life in different ways
To the one, death is the end of all
To the other, just the end of a phase

The atheist belief the dark pit of life
A pit in which so many dwell
Denying the facts so often proved
You don't care, you do nothing
And you do it well

Esoteric traditions, the knowledge of the cabalistic tree
Esoteric traditions, the art of healing and esoteric philosophy

05. Autocratic Faith

Since the first ray of light created life
The mystery about this earth has been unsolved
A creation by a superior force
The only answer before the truth was to be told
Now when we have surveyed the reality
There are stills some dreamers who believe in the holy writ
The fear of death, to be forgotten in a grave
To slowly moulder away in a pit

Forced to believe in a celestial empire after death
This sound like crap to me
You're dead when you can't breathe

Forgive us our trespasses and immortal we will be
And attain the divinity
The preaching of lies has spread out far too wide
But never during his ascendency
I don't have to believe in a figure from a fairytale
I ain't afraid of no infernal flame
A believer or an atheist - the death will be the same

Forced to believe in a celestial empire after death
This sound like crap to me
You're dead when you can't breathe

The cross - a sign of the crucifixion
Of a son of god
For me just a sign of human blood
The faith - in a distracted mind
Don't say no prayers for me
I am what I will be

Autocratic faith - what I can't see I can't believe
Autocratic faith - what I can't see I can't believe
Autocratic faith - you must obey your creators will
Shed no blood, do not kill
You must obey your creators will

The cross - a sign of the crucifixion
Of a son of god
For me just a sign of human blood
The faith - in a distracted mind
Don't say no prayers for me
I am what I will be

06. Nothing But Something Remains

I'm sent down here to make you follow my way
Can you see the fear in the eyes of the one you betray
These eyes are your own, the gates to your soul
If you deny yourself it will take its toll

I am the one and my message is content
Hold me above all or hold me in contempt
Followers of the slanderer, the hideous one
Convert yourself, to father and son

The wrath of divinity has delivered me
To break the seals, to make you see
Reality is vanishing, drifting away
Day into night and night into day

A stillborn child, the gulf is empty
Forgiveness for your sins you ask of me
Ask yourself do you truly believe
Who's to give and who's to receive

What is my colour, what is my fate
Why am I sent here to this world of hate
Enlighten me, make me see
I need to know or I can't be

Father - I have sinned
Relieve me this burden I bear within
Give me salvation, now I see
I am all and meant to be

Does anybody wonder
Does anybody really care
If they'll go down under
When nothing but somethings remains

Riders of the apocalypse
The seven angels of death

Compressed wrath of god
Nothing but something remains

I'm the alpha, I'm the omega
The first and the last, the beginning and the end
The beginning you saw, the end you will not
Blessed is the powers that I have got

All is done, the seals are broken
I stand alone on the path I've chosen
All alone day after day
With no one to talk to and nothing to say

What is my colour, what is my fate
Why am I sent here to this world of hate
Enlighten me, make me see
I need to know or I can't be

Father - I have sinned
Relieve me this burden I bear within
Give me salvation, now I see
I am all and meant to be

Does anybody wonder
Does anybody really care
If they'll go down under
When nothing but somethings remains

Riders of the apocalypse
The seven angels of death
Compressed wrath of god
Nothing but something remains

The rivers have turned to blood
The sky is pitch black
Life has come to an end - silence

Does anybody wonder
Does anybody really care
If they'll go down under
When nothing but somethings remains

Riders of the apocalypse
The seven angels of death
Compressed wrath of god
Nothing but something remains

07. Aren't You Bored Enough

Afraid of the pleasure, afraid of joy
Daddy's little incestious toy

You are so good you know it all
But there is no one there to catch you when you fall

What's your right, to ruin our fate
If money is all that matters we'll pay with hate

Isolated in your own cute world
Too naive, to dumb to see
A life worth nothing be our guest we'll waste you for free

Mr Harmless
It's time that you confess
Is it that tough
Mr Harmless
Aren't you bored enough

Open your eyes, and see what you'll find
It's time to wake up your narrow mind

Life goes on, you think you'll last
The day will come when you realize, you wasted past

Will you exist, the morning after
What has been means nothing, your death means laughter

Asexual freak
From reality you hide
The only way out for you is suicide

Mr Harmless
It's time that you confess
Is it that tough
Mr Harmless
Aren't you bored enough

08. Back In The Habit

Within your mind your brain injury has been transmitted
And it's multiplying piece by piece
You share your pain by giving death
As your hatred against society increase
A weak law government society in which crime pays
Slay a man and become a convict for a day
The organized criminality walks free as our laws decay
But scums like you will have their punishment

Death penalty in the public opinion
But with psychiatric care you'll learn to conform
Mental disturbance since the birth is no excuse
For taking lives of the unborn
The lust to kill an irresistible temptation
A sickness without any cure
We've got to root it out with death condemnations
No salvation cause god doesn't exist

Be held responsible for your deeds
No more victims for your greed
We're demanding your death - or else you'll be
Back in the habit, habit again

Death penalty in the public opinion
But with psychiatric care you'll learn to conform
Mental disturbance since the birth is no excuse
For taking lives of the unborn
The lust to kill an irresistible temptation
A sickness without any cure
We've got to root it out with death condemnations
No salvation cause god doesn't exist

Be held responsible for your deeds
No more victims for your greed
We're demanding your death - or else you'll be
Back in the habit, habit again

Schizophrenia is no excuse, for acting like you do
To slay is your only need,
It's disgusting to breathe the same air as you do - you to

Your sanguinary delinquency must have its final end
You deserve death penalty
How can you call yourself human - you're just shit to me

Be held responsible for your deeds
No more victims for your greed
We're demanding your death - or else you'll be
Back in the habit, habit again

09. Defy The Oppression

Look upon the adversary's living their lives in chairs
Gibbering mindless answers to questions
And governing the nation without care
So summon now against the mockery
You can't just stare in disbelief
Just listen to their crackbrained policy
You don't need this bullshit, but democracy

You're sitting in a cramped position, a change must be done
So gather now for the insurrection, now it's up to everyone
This is the hour of liberation for all who has lived in fear
Dispose the tyrant and his corrupted court, you must be severe

You've got to rise - against their policy
You need democracy
Justice - is what you want
It's what you need - to deny the prophecy - instantly

Testament to its sturdiness incoherent screams of fright
Sons of omission - break out of your prison
It's coming down, it's pouring down
It's falling can't you see - it's the way it's got to be
So defy the oppression - to create your own fate

Light - will you live to see the light
You may be sacrificed - crucified
Maze - you can't find the way
It becomes a possession to - defy the oppression
Nothing left - left to say

Vengeance upon your hatred oppressors
Before it's over blood will be shed
Weapons shattering human flesh
The unprincipled harvest is red
Under the pretence of restoring civil order
They send their armies forth
Impassive foemen choking the disorder

Fighting back but time is running short
Jubilant shouts died into whispers of fear
The mass is driven back
Nothing left that you can do
This is a cul-de-sac
So heed my counsel and don't let it happen again

We must take preventive steps
Do you like - what you see - all around
Is it what you want

You've got to rise - against their policy
You need democracy
Justice - is what you want
It's what you need - to deny the prophecy - instantly

Testament to its sturdiness incoherent screams of fright
Sons of omission - break out of your prison
It's coming down, it's pouring down
It's falling can't you see - it's the way it's got to be
So defy the oppression - to create your own fate

Light - will you live to see the light
You may be sacrificed - crucified
Maze - you can't find the way
It becomes a possession to - defy the oppression
Nothing left - left to say

10. Do You Know Who You're Crucifying

Why am I so lonely, it's time moving back
I sleep on the edge of my mind
Once I was stable, could act, I was able
I found all the things you could'nt find
False - spurious - the words you once said
emotional violence - left me for dead

This is the way - so people say
As I walk into the darkness
Along the walls - truth crawls
Feeding on its own carcass
Fate - ripped away
Frenetic silence burns inside
Contaminate - the things I say
Don't feel my lies

Tell me do you know, who you're crucifying
Tell me do you know, who you're crucifying

You're so impure, so full of guilt
You taunt me with impunity
I must vanquish the sorrow, obliterate the fear
Get back into reality
Crushed - by your guile - I doubt my ability
Come oblivion - come deliver me

This is the way - so people say
As I walk into the darkness
Along the walls - truth crawls
Feeding on its own carcass
Fate - ripped away
Frenetic silence burns inside
Contaminate - the things I say
Don't feel my lies

Tell me do you know, who you're crucifying
Tell me do you know, who you're crucifying
