Tracks



01. Save Your Prayers

Hey you, I know you don't like me
But the feeling is mutual
Pardon my French, slimy bitch
Do I care? Of course, I wrote this song for you

Save your prayers cause I don't care
Your tongue is digging your own grave
We are born with our conscience clear
By the time you're 15 your life is full of misery

The frames of lies you cannot escape
It's calling your name
Mistakes of your past you can't erase
It's coming back to you

Why don't you stop cause you're nothing
I don't care cause you're nothing
Why don't you leave cause you're nothing
Disappear cause you're nothing

Save your prayers cause I don't care
Your tongue is digging your own grave
We are born with our conscience clear
By the time you're 15 your life is full of misery

The frames of lies you cannot escape
It's calling your name
Mistakes of your past you can't erase
It's coming back to you

02. Nailed To The Ground

Now I've got something to say
So just get out of my way
I won't take shit from you or anyone that stands in my way
I've been quiet too long and now it's out of control
I've had it up to here and nothing's gonna stop me now

I don't believe in god or destiny
I always lived my life with one foot into the grave
The world is cruel and filled with enemies
I take my chances cause I know my life won't go anywhere

We're searching, we're burning out
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground
We're stranded, we're all tied up
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground

Nothing in life is for free, everything has price
You start to pay when you're born until the day you die
They turn you into a machine and keep you in the line
If you fall out of their path they will come after you

I don't believe in god or destiny
I always lived my life with one foot into the grave

We're searching, we're burning out
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground
We're stranded, we're all tied up
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground

Ah, I won't go down on my knees
They won't stop until I hit rock bottom
No.... I won't go down on my knees
In this government controlled society
NO NO NO... I won't go down...

We're searching, we're burning out
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground
We're stranded, we're all tied up
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground

03. Zombie Slam

There's something coming crawling
'Round the corner of your mind
Oh... your funeral has just begun
Buried alive, it will be over in no time
The date is set for tonight
VIP at the dead man's ball

Come and die with the zombies in the moonlight
They become alive when you die, you cannot fool them
You got to slam with the dead and let it go now
See a thousand hallowed eyes stare into the night

The sun goes down and the dead head minds,
They start to resurrect
Under the velvet sky and thirsty for your flesh
Steals your soul and you will lose control
And turns your tears into dust
You're fool that will never learn
Play with fire and you will get your fingers burned

Come and die with the zombies in the moonlight
They become alive when you die, you cannot fool them
You got to slam with the dead and let it go now
See a thousand hallowed eyes stare into the night

It's getting dark so prepare to die
They're coming after you
It's getting dark and you can't get away
They're coming after you

Come and die with the zombies in the moonlight
They become alive when you die, you cannot fool them
You got to slam with the dead and let it go now
See a thousand hallowed eyes stare into the night

04. Psalms Of Extinction

Why do we have to live in fear?
The future's looking dark
No one seems to care

It's a shame, it keeps pounding my head
I feel sick, is there someone to blame?

Now where do we go
When there's nowhere to turn?
It's starting to show
Will we ever learn?

Countdown to extinction
It has only begun
We're heading for extinction
To be one with the sun

The sun is burning through our skin the blood is boiling hot
Cancer's spreading out
I see the end is closing in
The world is turning black, acid rain

It's a shame, it keeps pounding my head
I feel sick, is there someone to blame?

Now where do we go
When there's nowhere to turn?
It's starting to show
Will we ever learn?

Do you feel ready to die?
Or have you changed your mind?

Countdown to extinction
It has only begun
We're heading for extinction
To be one with the sun

Now where do we go
When there's nowhere to turn?
It's starting to show
Will we ever learn?

05. Clouds Of Ecstasy

Pushing forty, cracks on her skin
Needs to get out, she's ready for sin
All dressed up and no one to blow...
She's so low

Silicon tits and silicon lips
Grammy awards and playing your tricks
Let the champagne flow
And powder your nose

Walking the white line of fantasy
Glamorous life is all you seek
Living in Hollywood make believe
Lost in the clouds of ecstasy

Silicon tits and silicon lips
Grammy awards and playing your tricks
Let the champagne flow
And powder your nose

Walking the white line of fantasy
Glamorous life is all you seek
Living in Hollywood make believe
Lost in the clouds of ecstasy

Feel it, it's knocking on your door
The parasite is ready to strike
Digging for gold

Walking the white line of fantasy
Glamorous life is all you seek
Living in Hollywood make believe
Lost in the clouds of ecstasy

06. Play Dead

Darling, stop confusing me,
With your wishful thinking.
Hopeful embraces,
Dont you understand?
I have to go through this,
I belong to here where no-one cares,
And no-one loves.
No light no air to live in,
A place called hate,
The city of fear.

I play dead,
It stops the hurting.
I play dead,
And the hurting stops.

Its sometimes just like sleeping,
Curling up inside my private tortures.
I nestle into pain,
Hug suffering,
Caress every ache

I play dead,
It stops the hurting.
I play dead,
And the hurting stops.
I play dead
And it stops the hurting.
I play dead
And the hurting stops.

07. Does It Really Matter

Does it really matter anyway?
You have to feel real bad
Before you can feel good again
Drown before you can breathe the air
Blinded by hate
Until you can't open your eyes to see
That it takes more than a knife to make you bleed

Does it really matter anyway
That we won't get what we're searching for
We slave through life to stay alive
To get a piece of the pie
Does it really matter anyway
That we cannot reach our goals
The more we work, the more we earn
The more we live, the more we burn

With money we think we're god
With success we think we can do whatever we want
But when your star starts to fade
You crawl back to a nothing, into your shell

Does it really matter anyway

Regrets from your past
Makes your future collapse
Insecured by failure
Anxiety attacks
Your heart's still pumping
While your veins are running dry
The clock is ticking
But the time stands still

Does it really matter anyway
That we won't get what we're searching for
We slave through life to stay alive
To get a piece of the pie
Does it really matter anyway
That we cannot reach our goals
The more we work, the more we earn
The more we live, the more we burn

Does it really matter anyway

08. Computer God

Computerized technology
Wipes out all your enemies
Digital world controls
A dying analogue blasphemy

Distorted codes in your DNA
Passwords running through the veins
Our brain cells overwon
By the zeros and by the ones

This is the end of humanity - thrill me, kill me
Computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
There is no lord that will set us free - thrill me, kill me
The computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me

Computerized technology
Wipes out all your enemies
Digital world controls
A dying analogue blasphemy

Acid dreams and hate patrols
Anarchy put the wold on hold
Cyber love, my only love
Never complains, she's under my thumb

This is the end of humanity - thrill me, kill me
Computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
There is no lord that will set us free - thrill me, kill me
The computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me

09. Just Think Again

Have you ever seen a child die?
Did you even know that it exists?
Did you know people outside your walls are starving to death?

So what would you do if it was up to you?
Would you even care?
I bet you would look another way and think of better things

Oh no, it's better to look away
You better close your eyes
Oh no, you don't wanna see anyone die
You just want to live your pretty life

Why won't we do anything?
Build up a wall around you so you don't have to see
Don't wanna preach but just think again

Oh no, it's better to look away
You better close your eyes
Oh no, you don't wanna see anyone die
You just want to live your pretty life

Why won't we do anything?
Build up a wall around you so you don't have to see
Don't wanna preach but just think again

10. Walking On Glass

So how many times do I have to pick myself up
When you're just crushing my life?
So I can carry on
Fill my soul so hollow

I've been down the drain
And washed away
And still I come back for more
I keep my head up high
Always try to walk the line

I'm not like you
My life flashes before my eyes
No, I'm not like you
The truth turns me upside down

Here it comes again
Pain is calling me
And I don't understand
It's just like walking on glass
Here we go again
And I can't turn it off
It's been following my past
It's just like walking on glass

Life's too short but I don't give a fuck
Why try to think like you
I have my own free will
Life is built on sorrow

Fields of burning lies is getting clearer by age
Soon we start to realize
Burn and raised in a cage

I'm not like you
My life flashes before my eyes
No, I'm not like you
The truth turns me upside down

Here it comes again
Pain is calling me
And I don't understand
It's just like walking on glass
Here we go again
And I can't turn it off
It's been following my past
It's just like walking on glass

Walk with me
It's getting dark
Walk with me
We'll try to save our broken souls

Here it comes again
Pain is calling me
And I don't understand
It's just like walking on glass
Here we go again
And I can't turn it off
It's been following my past
It's just like walking on glass

11. Bottles Nest

Woke up this morning
with my head in the dirt
Master of disaster has raped my soul again
I feel like slut and my body hurts
What did I do?
Can't remember a thing
Not a thing

It's constant battle
And the bottle always wins

I wanna go all the way
Down the bottle's nest
I'm gonna go all the way
Why pretend?

I'm falling

Another day
Another party
Another toast
I slam the drink
And I almost fall
And the madness is ready to choke my throat

It doesn't matter
It won't hurt at all
Not at all

I've stopped fighting the bottle
Cause the bottle always wins

I wanna go all the way
Down the bottle's nest
I'm gonna go all the way
Why pretend?

Pour me another drink
Oh how I need it bad
Pour me another drink
Pour it down my throat

I wanna go all the way
Down the bottle's nest
I'm gonna go all the way
Why pretend?

12. Bitch

Bitch

I'm the king in this dirty game
Be my puppy and lick my erection
Taste my juice while I pull the chain
It feels so sweet, another victim to my collection

You say you've been so naughty
Bu I will teach you to behave
It's my rules and my game

You say you want me
But I'm gonna let you wait
I will make you sweat
And I'll make you beg
Beg for me...

I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
And another one bites the dust - Bitch
I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
And another one bites the dust - Bitch

You look so good when you're all tied up
I might let you go down when I'm done
Why this sad face?
You don't have to be ashamed
Let's seal it with a kiss and end this game

I'm not looking for love
I just need another slave

I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
And another one bites the dust - Bitch
I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
And another one bites the dust - Bitch
