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 |
