After we die, invading our bodily cavities
The young of insects feed On our inactive brains And numb spinal chords Open sores drain slow Spouting yellow pus - from us Dead human flesh brings nourishment Survival from what is dead and cold Our unburied carcass' Will be reduced to bone Open sores drain slow Spouting yellow pus - they're feeding on our souls A sickening odour seeps - from us Inside they multiply Devour us piece by piece New life from us, dead life not lost They feed to hatch the spawn Devour us piece by piece This dead life not lost New life from us - dead life not lost New life from us Open sores drain slow Spouting yellow pus They're feeding on our souls A sickening odour seeps - from us insect - insect, insect maggots 02. Drowning
Pulled down to the depths
I feel that I am going under Swept away I struggle now Gasping for my last breath Choking me - I can not breathe Liquid vision, all I see Drifting - no sign of life Floating dead The tide carries me Fluid fills my lungs, as my eyes open wide I can't reach the surface - no sense of true direction My body turns - violently Cramping limbs - to weak to swim Drifting - no signs of life Floating dead The tide carries me Drowning too weak to swim Floating dead - the tide carries me away Submerged in this grave My body set a drift Skin is white and cold Sinking to the depths In this liquid terror Dead and motionless Drifting - no sign of life floating dead the tide carries me Drowning too weak to swim Floating dead the tide carries me Crushed by rocks and current I float up to the surface My body washed ashore - swollen from exposure Black and blue, lifeless dead Suffocation - in liquid Drifting - no sign of life Floating dead the tide carries me Drowning too weak to swim Floating dead the tide carries me - away 03. Grinder
Never straight and narrow
I won't keep in time Tend to burn the arrow Out of the line Been inclined to wander Off the beaten track That's where there's thunder And the wind shouts back Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Got no use for routine I shiver at the thought Open skies are my scene That's why I won't get caught Refuse to bite the mantrap Be led to set the snare I love to have my sight Capped everywhere Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat I've held my licence It came with birth, For self reliance on this earth You take the bullet On which my name Was etched upon in your game Day of independence Stamped us like a brand Round the necks of millions To the land As the mighty eagle I need room to breathe Witness from the treadmill I take my leave Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Grinder 04. Suffering In Ecstasy
Suffer inside myself
There is no hope In this grave Bottomless The deepest depths An empty pit No way to live Dead It's killing me This deadly plague Poisoned blood Runs through my veins Finding pleasure Within the pain I'm suffering A step away From the edge One more rush All I need is A harder push There is no cure My infection is self inflicted I'm suffering In ecstasy Slowly dying Inside my body Locked away With no escape Finding pleasure Within the pain A step away From the adge All I need is A harder push There is no cure My infection is self inflicted It's killing me This deadly plague Poisoned blood Runs through my veins Finding pleasure Within the pain I'm suffering Suffer inside myself There is no hope In this grave Bottomless The deepest depths An empty pit No way to live Dead A step away From the edge One more rush All I need is A harder push There is no cure My infection is self inflicted I'm suffering In ecstasy Slowly dying Inside my body Locked away With no escape Finding pleasure Within the pain 05. Human Target
My life, my soul
My thoughts are my own I live to die That's why I was born Kill or be killed The law of the land Standing tall, I'm not running scared Human target Scared, beaten My bones were broken Bruised, mistreated For what I believe in Survive or die Fear for your life I grip the gun tight Three shots to the chest One to the head Standing tall, I'm not running scared living through the violence I'm just surviving - there's no way to end This One more dead, one survives Instinct to live Living through the violence I'm just surviving - there's no way to end This Living through the violence I'm just surviving - there's no way to end This One more dead, one survives Instinct to live I won't - die My life, my soul My thoughts are my own I live to die That's why I was born Kill or be killed The law of the land Standing tall, I'm not running scared Survive or die Fear for your life I grip the gun tight Human Target 06. Lycanthropy
The blood of the wolf
Infects my body In the night hear the howling Screaming, flesh chewed to the bone Bleeding, eternal horror dying in the darkness Now one of us Bitten by the wolf Now one of us When the moon is full And the night comes down Fear all unnatural sounds Human beast, animal Curse of the lycanthrope dying in the darkness Now one of us Bitten by the wolf Now one of us Carnivorous Lust for human flesh Legacy of blood Infected dead the blood of the wolf Infects my body In the night hear the howling Screaming, flesh chewed to the bone Bleeding, eternal horror When the moon is full And the night comes down Fear all unnatural sounds Human beast, animal Curse of the lycanthrope 07. Beneath A Black Sky
Look to the sky
It's turning black No sun shining light Day turns into night No moon above Lost in the shadows Eclipsing the sun Only darkness above Beneath a black sky All life will end Infinite winter Eternal darkness Thunder cracks the silence Emptiness Above us only black Frozen stiff Nothing remains Beneath a black sky Look to the sky It's turning black No sun shining light Day turns into night Emptiness Above us only black Hollow horizon No sun rising |
