Messina - Terrortory lyrics



Tracks



01. Messina

Life's all grey, like the first morning rays
After a dark Sicanian winter night
Assassin stands, out in the badlands
It's the isle, the isle of fright

Eyes, filled with hatred
Eyes, radiating fear
Eyes, filled with hatred
Eyes, tell tales of fear

Sings are clear, no solution here
There's no change, no change to stay
Hell's have to go to lands of tomorrow
It's the price he has to pay

Eyes, filled with hatred
Eyes, radiating fear
Eyes, filled with hatred
Eyes, tell tales of fear

The ones who slay
For man's desire
Must be aware
It can backfire

You were the hunter
This is the day
Now you are hunted
Yes, you are the pray
You assassin

Life's all black, he leaves no track
Like a dark sicianian winter night
Assassin goes, where to no one knows
Far away from the isle of fright

The isle of fright

Eyes, burst veins in the white of his eye
Eyes, no one can live his life as a lie
Eyes, is this for him his eternal goodbye
Eyes, that speak of fear

02. Attempted Suicide

You might have won the battle,
But you ain't gonna win the war
Like stampeding cattle,
This sight what I just saw

Can see them all around
Those who feel so bound
They live their life like
An attempted suicide

Bounces, drums and pounds
And it's tormenting my head
And you hear all these sounds,
You sense the tears that have been shed

Can see them all around
Those who feel so bound
They live their life like
An attempted suicide

An attempted suicide
An attempted suicide

We have to do what we want to
We have to do what we want to

An attempted suicide
An attempted suicide

You might have won the battle,
But you ain't gonna win the war
Hear the snake's tail rattle,
Sings for what you got in store
They bounce, drum, pound
And are tormenting your head
You hear the sound,
You sense the tears that have been shed

Can see them all around
Those who feel so bound
They live their life like
An attempted suicide

Can see them all around
Those who feel so bound
They live their life like
An attempted suicide

An attempted suicide
An attempted suicide

03. Nothing Will Change

The ferryman got a warning:
"Take the oars and you'll be damned"
Now he crosses the lake filled with mourning
From life to after life he goes

Nothing will change, nothing will change
Nothing will change, nothing will change
Nothing will change for better I say

Years of agony, years of pain
Swollen blisters on his hands are the witnesses
He knows he never ever will again
Be set free from immortality

Nothing will change, nothing will change
Nothing will change, nothing will change
Nothing will change for better I say

Searching for the answers,
Solutions to his fate
How can he break this curse?
How can he break these chains?
Will he enter the last gate...?
Will he taste victory...?
Will he be set free...
From his immortality?

Searching for the answers,
Solutions to his fate
How can he break this curse?
How can he break these chains?
Will he enter the last gate...?
Will he taste victory...?
Will he be set free...
From his immortality?

Returning without a breathing man
His ferry takes people over
Oh, will they ever understand
Who defeats death will be his slave till eternity

Nothing will change, nothing will change
Nothing will change, nothing will change
Nothing will change for better I say

04. Terrortory

Ewrah!

Sailed under flags of christianity
Hailed from civilized society
Ruled with barbaric insanity
Believed they were the chosen ones
Who should be

You thought they were your salvation
But they tried to wipe out your generation
Some could flee the holocaustic suffocation
Many had to die for a thing called civilization

Terrortory
Put foot on their domain
While doing so driving them insane
Terrortory
Deprived men of their right
An unequal battle, an injust fight

Terrortory

Sailed under flags of christianity
Hailed from civilized society
Ruled with barbaric insanity
Believed they were the chosen ones
Who should be

Terrortory
Put foot on their domain
While doing so driving them insane
Terrortory
Deprived men of their right
An unequal battle, an injust fight

05. Who's For Dinner

Gaping wound down into his brain,
Calls upon your imagination
Who it is nobody will know,
That's her inspiration

Guess who...?
Guess who is coming for dinner?
Guess who is coming for dinner?

What she does no one will know
Her eyes are the invitation
Blood behind her fingernails,
Witness desperation

Guess who...?
Guess who is coming for dinner?
Guess who is coming for dinner?

She's alone but still together
And she is quite hungry
Carcass is already swollen
Yes, he looks deliciously

Eats her meat raw, blood is flowing
Skull is crushed, what does she see
A grey mass which looks oh so tasty
It's all hers, she owns the key

Guess who is coming for dinner?

Cuts the corpse up into pieces
Pulls bones out of the body
Feeds the liver to the chicken
'Cause she's not so bad you see

What she does no one will know
Her eyes are the invitation
Blood behind her fingernails,
Witness desperation

Guess who...?
Guess who is coming for dinner?
Guess who is coming for dinner?

06. Drop Dead

You've been born on the wrong side of town
But you're gonna put that straight anyhow
You will get what you want, get your share
Nobody stands in your way, they wouldn't dare

Drop dead
No signs of hate
Drop dead
Pain is his mate

You've killed for power, the power of the street
Ripped out hearts, felt their beat
You showed no emotions, no mercy
The thirst for might is unquenchable

Drop dead
No signs of hate
Drop dead
Pain is his mate

Deliver me your pain,
The fear that's in the eye,
Last look before they die
You'll be under my reign

Deliver me your pain,
The fear that's in the eye,
Last look before they die
You'll be under my reign

You've killed for power, the power of the street
Ripped out hearts, felt their beat
You showed no emotions, no mercy
The thirst for might is unquenchable

Drop dead
No signs of hate
Drop dead
Pain is his mate

07. Deathrow

Time is rushing by
I'm waiting for the end
'Now' has no meaning for me
I'm on the brink of mortality

Now your on for deathrow,
Staring at your end
You're on deathrow, can you understand

I can't comprehend,
I'm beyond myself
Why this has to be,
is this my fate, my destiny?

Now you're on deathrow,
Staring at your end
You're on deathrow,
Can you understand?
Understand?

In a flash I see my life
Passing day by day
On this point of no return
My youth slips away

No!

No, it wasn't our mistake,
We don't share the blame
Why, this had to be,
It's all in the game, all in the game

He was on for deathrow,
Staring at your end
He was on deathrow,
Could he understand?

08. Ritual Killings

Man sentenced for life,
Child killed for belief
Injustice created, by humanity
Keelhauled for excuse,
Slaughtered for one's view's
Assassinated, by reality

No matter what we do,
it all comes down to ritual killing
No matter what we say,
it all comes down to ritual killing

Starving for esteem,
Found revenge for grief
Lies insinuated,
By machinery
Quartered for the truth,
Butchered for abuse
Excommunicated, by society

No matter what we do,
It all comes down to ritual killing
No matter what we say,
It all comes down to ritual killing

Life's like a rain of fire,
All these bullets try to hit you
Maybe you cannot avoid the last one

No matter what we do,
No matter what we say
It all comes down to...
No matter what we do,
No matter what we say
It all comes down to...
Ritual killing

Quartered for the truth,
Butchered for abuse

Starving for esteem,
Found revenge for grief

Keelhauled for excuse,
Slaughtered for one's view's

Man sentenced for life,
Child killed for belief
Injustice created,
By humanity

No matter what we do,
No matter what we say
No matter what we do,
No matter what we say
It all comes down to...
It all comes down to...
It all comes down to...

Died for ignorance,
Killed for amnesty
Skinned for innocence,
Stabbed down for equity

Died for ignorance,
Killed for amnesty
We died by the rules
Of our killing rituals
