Superstition, disguised as faith
The Fear of death plagues their eyes Automated animation, a fingerprint personality Born of desperation, So terrified that you just might dissappear when you die And that there is no difference between right or wrong Elimination of the modern nation No need for the excess population Twisted monuments of human decay Old death to new beginnings Remake the world in genocide Everything they taught you is a lie Would you die for this? Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured Would you die for this? Crossbred and numbered, we are cybertrash Proclaimed by a thousand prophets Believed by a million fools Its an endless line of tragedies What is faith but another word for superstition On the ruins of the old Free of the moral waste Perfect and gleaming In the light of the morning star Would you die for my sins? Or would you take my life and try to make it yours? Prove me wrong, but I'll still see it my own way Would you die for this? Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured Would you die for this? Crossbred and numbered, we are cybertrash 02. Planet Of The Apes Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
To many lies breeds to many flies
It's evolution through confusion Hate is never without reason Love is never without treason Monkey see - Monkey do Evolution was never true Of all the lies they feed to you What you see is what you do Monkey me and monkey you "Godly" parasites in massive invasion Deformed creation... Unnatural Invention Procreate, then desecrate - Inseminate, then devastate No hope for humanity...It's a planet of apes Monkey see - Monkey do Evolution was never true Of all the lies they feed to you What you see is what you do Monkey me and monkey you Nothing new ever came out of someone like you Don't decieve yourself thinking that you know what to do What will you do when all your toys are broken What will you say when all your lines are spoken No hope for humanity.... it's a planet of apes Gently violated and desecrated The quintessential art of self-destruction You left behind the will to believe in nothing You are never going to be what you want to be Monkey see - Monkey do Evolution was never true Of all the lies they feed to you What you see is what you do Monkey me and monkey you 03. Star By Star Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
We were alone and on our own, in the dark between the stars
From the shadows to the pyre, amidst the chaos, isolated Love, life and liberty, hate, death and captivity Like a stain of starless darkness, across the canvas of space Star by star Corrupting all of humanity So much alike are we When I see you I see me Galaxies glitter in the black night sky, Towards progress, towards death From the stars we have come, and to the stars we will return The violence of passion - The passion of violence The perverse impulses - The savage egoism The wicked presence - The wicked essence The thing that unites us - The thing that divides us Star by star Corrupting all of humanity So much alike are we When I see you I see me 04. Via Negativa Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
The arrogance of angels, the heresy of Christ
The stupidity of humanity, the skeletons of society It's time to separate the saints from the sinners Judgement day is coming - Evacuate then renovate Proclaimed by a thousand prophets, believed by a million fools But the day will come when everything falls apart All it takes is a single act of animal desperation And what if all the things we believed in were true? Decades of decadence and aeons of evil Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star From the center of damnation to the outskirts of Hell Redemption only comes with a pair of numbered wings In our quest for miracles, we started a war of genitals Disguised as the bearers of justice, we took your fears a made you a God Why are you afraid of something you're not even sure exists? I am the maze of God... I am the true face of fraud Embrace the pain, and I will lead you to another heaven For who are you to belive in another paradise than mine? The Infant Prodigy - The Bearer of Light Without me you would be nothing at all The beginning and the end are the same, the circle never ends And the more things change, the more they stay the same Decades of decadence and aeons of evil Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star From the center of damnation to the outskirts of Hell Redemption only comes with a pair of numbered wings 05. Stillborn Universe Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
Lost in this place, like fragments of another time
I close my eyes and see myself from above Drifting apart, like splinters of scattered glass But we all have our own reasons to continue Don't you want it this way? Don't you want it this way? Don't you want it this way? Don't you need it anyway.? We are battered, we are torn (it pleases me to see you broken) We're the hate that you adore (it pleases me to see you broken) We are hollow, we are bruised (it pleases me to see you broken) We are numb and self-abused (it pleases me to see you broken) I can't come down when your around I lose control and hit the ground So everything must change And all remains the same This is a stillborn universe You thought that life would be so wonderful You thought that all could be so beautiful You thought that everything, would be so simple You thought that everything would be so perfect I can't come down when your around I lose control and hit the ground So everything must change And all remains the same This is a stillborn universe 06. Acid Theatre Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
Liquid phantom fields of motion
For those who cannot see the future Like masked sands of deception The wave of the future foundation Green fields of euphoria A disfigured replica of paradise A distant enigma light Splintered apart in spatial distortion Never believe the things they tell you Never trust the lies they feed you Never do what the want you to do Never be who they want you to be Shade and shadow, through glory and ecstacy Erotic sensations arising from the misery of others Believe what you will, until experience changes your mind For the day is not done, and I have miles to go to make them sleep forever Never believe the things they tell Never trust the lies they feed you Never do what the want you to do Never be who they want you to be 07. Perfect End Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
Look at me and tell me what you see
I am not what you think I am Too weird to live, too rare to die Haloed in the headlights of death Is this Hell disguised as heaven? Is this death masquerading as life? So much is said, so little shown I see no reason, I feel no end This is not a happy ending This is not a last goodbye Open your eyes and stop pretending This is not the perfect end This is not a new beginning This is not a last farewell Open your eyes and stop pretending This is not the perfect end Stitched up like a ragged doll Wrapped around your naked soul I am what you know as temptation I am the ancient deception I wish I could leave this world behind I wish I had the will to end it all But I shall paint my nightmares And things will never be the same again This is not a happy ending This is not a last goodbye Open your eyes and stop pretending This is not the perfect end This is not a new beginning This is not a last farewell Open your eyes and stop pretending This is not the perfect end 08. Neon Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
Bastard proclamations of a dying nation
Social deconstruction through deceit and deception Hit us with your pointing stick Golden arches crucifix We will never be like you Subliminal derangement of the human senses Corporate illusions of holy intervention Vulture culture history Television ministry We will never be like you Let me be your neon god We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls Were all wired up and ready to go Because gravity means nothing now A man made messiah of concrete and steel Instant salvation through your TV screen Let me be your god.... Subdue your maker, Subdue your maker I am the giver and I am the taker Subdue your maker, Subdue your maker All succumb to me... Let me be your neon god We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls Were all wired up and ready to go Because gravity means nothing now A man made messiah of concrete and steel Instant salvation through your TV screen Let me be your god.... 09. Keepers Of The Garden Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
In the darkness of space, they suffer in temptation
Dementia creeping closer, but what difference does it make Sometimes the best way up is down And for some moments in life there are no words The sky is filled with dead stars There is no escape, there is no return In a state of terror and confusion With euphoria as an ambition... Through the doors of perception We will leave this place behind Wide open space, so out of place We were exiled and we were disgraced Eye at the centre, dawn of our race Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space The ancient deception, the so-called fall from grace And Eden was just a place in outer space... The shining ones, the keepers of the garden The ancient ones, those who came from the sky Wide open space, so out of place We were exiled and we were disgraced Eye at the centre, dawn of our race Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space 10. Pantomime Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
Burning bright in the industries of night
Between the stars like a wanderer, across the sea of suns I reached out for the radiant shadow of a figure with horns Drawn like a moth to flame, and into the lions den Space cities of wonders, at an evolutionary dead-end Pale electric shadows, locked together in common self-hatred All it takes is an idea, a single word can change the world I tried as hard as I could to make you understand, There's no difference between up or down out here Xenophobia, five fingers are no longer enough Xenophobia, we lost control along time ago The Judas halo, the betrayer spirit The human ambition in all its disfigured glory Liars of Light, masters of Night We all get what we deserve in the end Xenophobia, five fingers are no longer enough Xenophobia, we lost control along time ago 11. Hollow Earth Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
Dead center in the middle of nowhere
Coma existence, surrounded by the living dead There is no hope, there is no tomorrow You took our world and you bled it dry These are the last days of planet earth (And) we will be there when they realize the truth We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousel These are the last days of planet earth Victims of a defective genepool Soulless existence, forever in pointless directions Out of tune with true evolution There are no answers, there is no solution These are the last days of planet earth (And) we will be there when they realize the truth We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousel These are the last days of planet earth "The heart of a mystery is seen through imagination but obscured by our inability to control chaos..." We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousel These are the last days of planet earth We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousel These are the last days of planet earth 12. Industrial Twilight Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
United we stand in shared perversion
The love of death, the paradise of Hell This infinite limbo, like a great black engine Ultimate abomination, no one here gets out alive Let the poison arrows fall Let the pillars of "Heaven" crumble Martyrs to no one but ourselves We are the rusted pillars of a better tomorrow Give me your crippled hand, and I'll drag you into evolution Compassion is obsolete, the answers are no longer true To many sides to chose from, fascism in masked control forms Paradise, prepare for deconstruction Welcome to the radiant silos of atom Man-made misery, the perfect anti-life Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh Ours is the God of nuclear winter Synthesized evolution of tomorrow When we tried to become, the world turned negative You were the words in my mouth When I was just trying to save their world Welcome to the radiant silos of atom Man-made misery, the perfect anti-life Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh Ours is the God of nuclear winter "Once I was the carrier of wounds, featherless and without direction, Never a saint nor a saviour, relentless in my search for a higher existence... In a nuclear war...All men will be cremated equal!" 13. Subtopia Music & lyrics by The Kovenant
We are the shattered illusions of a perfect world
We are the symptoms of your deceases We are your self-imposed arch nemesis And we are your broken hopes and dreams We are the people of subtopia And we make no sound underneath the ground We are the ones you didn't want us to be Now were taking over, were breaking free We are the bastard creation of radiation We are your filth, lies and dirt We are manipulated and fabricated And We are the toxic children of earth We are the people of subtopia And we make no sound underneath the ground We are the ones you didnt want us to be Now were taking over, were breaking free "Your chains cannot shackle us Your light cannot blind us Your words cannot deafen us We are, what you didn't want us to be" We are the people of subtopia And we make no sound underneath the ground We are the ones you didnt want us to be Now were taking over, were breaking free 14. The Memory Remains Music & lyrics by Metallica
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain Gone insane But the memory remains Heavy rings on fingers wave Another star denies the grave See the nowhere crowd Cry the nowhere cheers of honor Like twisted vines that grow Hide and swallow mansions whole In light of an already Faded prima donna Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane... Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane... But the memory remains Heavy rings hold cigarettes Up to lips that time forgets While the Hollywood sun sets Behind your back And can't the band play on Just listen, they play my song Ash to ash Dust to dust Fade to black Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane... Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane... Dance little tin goddess Drift away Fade away Little tin goddess Ash to ash Dust to dust Fade to black Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane... Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane... But the memory remains Ash to ash Dust to dust Fade to black... But the memory remains Faded prima donna Dance little tin goddess dance |
