01. Condemned To The Gallows

You're worthless
People refuse to take you
Discarded
They do not agree with you
Imploring
Beg for someone to save you
Imposter
This is what people call you

Pay for your sin
Or they'll take you in
Save all your guts and repent to the end

Wanted... dead or alive

So ruthless
People tend to make you feel
Destructive
This is your reputation
Forbidden
We taught you never to bend
Farsighted
The hangman lives for your head

Wanted... dead or alive

They're coming to get you
The jury has the verdict
Can't escape, to the gallows

Wanted... dead or alive

When you think
You are convicted to sin
Surrender
To the executioner
All tied up
Walk towards your burial
Death sentence
Is your payment to evil

Wanted... dead or alive

They're coming to get you
The jury has the verdict
Can't escape, to the gallows

Pay the price, for your life, and for your sins
Let's go!

Evil, treason, overkill, prison
Pay for your sin
Or they'll take you in
Save all your guts and repent to the end

Wanted... dead or alive

They're coming to get you
The jury has the verdict
Can't escape, to the gallows

Hangman has come for... revenge!

02. Thrashing Rage

I'm in a nightmare and it's gonna burn tonight
I don't know why but there's something strange in me
Losing all control if you dDon't want to stop
Searching the way where I can get the force

This is the beggining of hostility
In the still of the night
I keep a strict eye on you
Somewhere on the hill of immortality
The butcher is running down the land
...is running down the land

Taking your chance
Looking for a fight
Biting the bullet
Ready you'll catch your death

Rough and tumble life
Such and eternal night
We're the die-hards with a
Nasty mind deep in integrity
Joining our destructions
With our domination
You can't resist it's thrashing rage

In the labyrinth I run to see the end
Mirage of death as long as infinity
Living dying in this deep misery
I'm gonna raise hell coz I'm over the top

This is the beggining of hostility
In the still of the night
I keep a strict eye on you
Somewhere on the hill of immortality
The butcher is running down the land
...is running down the land

Choose your awful swords
And fight until the end
Scream the pain that you have
Die right here in the hole
Hunt if you wanna live
And kill until you win
Lust the blood of your enemy
Falls or return in a deep sin

Now we are the guards of their thrashing land...

03. Killing Technology

We are connected

Thinking about another project
How the hell are they gonna make it
Anyway nobody's gonna object
Even if they make shit
Now you better get wise
Lasers passing through the sky
For me there's no alternative
This sphere is a bad place to live

Growing technology
Fooling technology
Killing technology

The star wars have started up
The new invention is coming out
Making a spider web over the atmosphere
To make them sure that we can't get out of here
Computers controlling your functions
Seems like we got electronic alienation
Trading children for a new kind of robot
Waiting for the old people to disappear

Growing technology
Fooling technology
Killing technology

Use the killing technology
How can I destroy the enemy
Security plans are not easy to find
That's my generation, the nonsense time
You lose your function
You're just a substitute
You lose your function

Glad to see you change
You've got automatic moves
Take your pills to have energy
And sit down in your robotic living room
People are gonna progress
Who knows whether we'll get more or less
Some say it's the beginning of the end
Some say they've got our lives in their hands

Growing technology
Fooling technology
Killing technology

Look at the chaos, how much does it cost
The circuits gleam
Push this buttom, memory runs
You're gonna pay for this
Ready or not, ready or not

Tomorrow is the fear
The fear will come from the sky, from behind
Tomorrow disappears
The fear will come from the sky, from behind

We are connected

04. Macrosolutions To Megaproblems

A long way to get here
The chaosmöngers scream
No more, control
Leave minds, alone
We'll turn it upside down
Been waiting oh so long
This is it, it's finished
This is it, we get it

The big liar on his side
Hiding, hearing inside
No more, control
Leave minds, alone
We'll show them what we got
Forever they'll be locked
This is what, you look for
This is more, this is war

It's gonna be, hostility
Hypothetic is liberty
Anti-being society
As directed reality

My point of view that's for sure
Is lucid but insecure
Revolution is evident
Chaosmöngers are resistant

You better shake up your mind
Coz if you're just staying blind
Integrity you won't find

The discord is real now
Echo is very loud
No more control
Leave minds alone
Soon the system will die
It's another rough time
Don't back off, and stand up
Go for it, we need it

My point of view that's for sure
Is septic and insecure
Evolution isn't a shame
Each member stays in the game

You better shake up your mind
Coz if you're just staying blind
Integrity you won't find

Maybe we'll win, maybe we'll loose
Confrontation, both side they use

Macrosolutions to megaproblems

It hasn't changed
It's all the same
You'll check the box
You'll put that cross
The vote is done, another one

My point of view that's for sure
Is worry and insecure
But I won't forget this gang
The chaosmöngers who still stand

You better shake up your mind
Coz if you're just staying blind
Integrity you won't find

05. Pre-Ignition

Hey you
Tell me, what's your call name
Closed negative display
Engaged on section three
The acrid factories
You

Putrid perfect product
Proper platinum parts
Proficient prototypes
Steadily spew from these pipes

Are you
The Prime Automaton
Christen as YB-1

Are you
Generated by waste
Arid quarry displaced
Environmental squeeze
Aluminum disease
You

Conscious of origin
Intent is in the wind
Atmosphere infected
Descendants defected

Are you
Novel stroke of design
Or relics from this mine

Casually choke
Noxious nourishment
Embodied illicit cure

Ground and rock and sand
Come crumble tumble down
Grinding round
The hydraulic wheel
Extraction
The ultimate greed

Now...hidden from view
Surveying stable shifts
A feeble groove
Unintentional split

Then they return to work
As if they're not disturbed
Cybernetic beings
Omniscent regiment

Thriving with vigor
Incessant loom
An assumed order
Auspicious tool

Franticly flow
Spumous sediment
Remedied, neurotic fuse

Ground and rock and sand
Come crumble tumble down

Yonder sound an echoing gong
Disjunction
Of their disowned gods

Now...some are set free
Emotions flood their gaze
Synthetic breed
The pre-ignition phase

Pre-ignition
Flares up in you
Pre-ignition
Provokes me too

06. Nuage Fractal

All under one command
Clouds overcast the land
Infinite division
Chaotic creation
Patterns of flat spiral
Spinning a triangle
Wind on the schizosphere
Nuage fractal appears

Out there!

Dynamic intruder
Mutating whole numbers
Systems are compromised
Viruses organize
One simple memory
In every theory
All random elements
Become determinants

Out there
Out there lives someone
Pirate space kingdom

We get lost
In this chaos
Too soon for us
To be in touch

Tomorrow we will know
Something about the code
Salvation's on its way
In the light of today
Cloud of all destiny
Ghost of reality
Nobody can detect
The butterfly effect

Out there
Out there lives someone
Pirate space kingdom

We get lost
In this chaos
Too soon for us
To be in touch
So we get lost
In this chaos
Too soon for us
To be in touch

07. Fix My Heart

I don't want to go home
I'm feeling like a ghost
I'm falling all apart
Could you please fix my heart?

Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live

Tell me now...
What do you read in my hand?
Please don't spell me wrong
What is going on?

Tell me now...
What is seen from my hand?
I know what is true
Nothing's really new

Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live...

Tell me now...
All my will and destiny
Won't erase my hand
It won't change my plans

Tell me now...
What could be the best for me?
It's always been the same
I'm running like a train

I don't want to go home
I'm feeling like a ghost
I'm falling all apart
Could you please fix my heart?

Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live

Here we go...
No one said it was easy
I'm on my feet again
A ticket in my hand
Here we go...

08. Rise

Anark
Neuro-perfect
Lies sleeping in death
Nether darkness underground
Scared silence
Not a sound

Demok
Meta-control
Out goes the signal
Radiation from the sky
Activation
Second life

Now see the new light
Rise

Anark returns to earth
Out into the world
Restoration over all
Nether darkness as before

Now see the new light
Rise

Now see the new light
Rise

Must overcloud
Dark like before...

09. Rebel Robot

You don't decide
What's wrong, what's right
You can't define what's good, what's not
You have to hide all your feelings
Having opinions can be your worst enemy

You will respond without asking
You will perform like all of them
You will behave as predicted
Being a rebel, and it's the purgatory

What about your ego
How did it end up so low
You have been robotized

It's what you eat, it's what you wear
Look around you, it's everywhere
In every action, in every move
A vague impression, having the right to choose

What about your ego
How did it end up so low
Like a seed, it will grow
In your head, it will glow
You have been robotized

You wear the freedom while a child is working
You taste a kingdom while the trees are falling
Loud voice and clear messages
The demons are so creative

There is a little matrix in everyone

10. Morgöth Tales

Here's a story from an otherworldly land
In a metal factory town was forged the iron gang
A monolithic object, one night, landed from the sky

Come to me...The transfer has begun
Origins you're really from
And knowledge for things to come

Far out, forever mountain, four basic forces,
Blasting with power
Rose from the cold
Curious engineer souls
Cast out, in isolation, smoke in the basement,
Making creations
Sounds of their own
The wake forever goes
The unknown knows

All systems go…Yeah!
So this is not an exercise
You build your weapons shaped with spikes
The time has come for mass awareness
The lost machine will never rest

Rise from the X-stream
Fall, we carry on
Black city is burning
Post society
End of dormancy
Now we are connected
We are not alone
Not alone

Come to me…through the psychic vacuum
Use the sonic mycelium
There's another divine sun

Reach out, making the distance, traveling the world,
Spreading the news
Flag of their own
The alien skull still glows
The unknown knows

A multiverse in your head
Ahead a time warp to the death
Forgotten in space and always moving
Voïvod lives, forever it will,
Remains in your brain
As long as you live, to the next you will give
