02. Silent Wars
This is killing us
Fighting the truth a losing battle We believe in nothing Just hatred for each other Tragic sinister serenade Twisted melody shatters reality Dying hopes for a better day Fragile dreams that break away No more, no more This pain must end We have chosen to suffer Believe in nothing but... Hatred is a vicious circle Betrayal is at hand Paralysed souls bleeding Begging for salvation Deeper and deeper the wounds we cut The truth burning our flesh Silent war to set us free Stigmata of a tragedy No more, no more This pain must end We have chosen to suffer Feeling nothing but hate It's eating us up from the inside Taking our feelings away 03. We Will Rise
Tear down the walls
Wake up the world Ignorance is not bliss So fed up with second best Our time is here and now I am the enemy I am the antidote Watch me closely I will stand up - now We will rise Rise above Stereotype Fools Playing the game Nothing unique They all look the same In this sea of mediocrity I can be anything Anything I want to be We will rise 04. Dead Eyes See No Future
Giving our blood
To the doomsday machine Fighting for ravaged land A worthless gain Marching on a dead end road A violent new disorder Feeding off mistrust Forgot what we were fighting for A worthless aim A victory stinking of despair Dead eyes See no future Falling from grace We are coming home Battalions of hate Seeking shelter in hell Bloodstained memories Will we ever be forgiven Our twisted fate Time will tell 05. Instinct
The more I see - the less I believe
The more I hear - the less I care This world we've created, has left me cold This world is sedated, dying in it's sleep I feel nothing Seen it written on a thousand faces The simple truth we fear Seen it happen in a thousand places Instinct brought us here The more I see - the less I believe The more I hear - the less I care We used to be the chosen ones Second to none Look at what we've become A pathetic excuse for life I feel nothing I can feel nothing Nothing at all Except for the pain That hits me again 06. Leader Of The Rats
Crawling in the slime
Dirt infested minds Always second best, leader of the rats Spreading their disease Hiding behind trivial cynicism Venomous tongues spitting forth lies So quick to criticize the life of others Who are you to judge us On a higher plain Our art lives on forever You are the scum beneath us Fighting your pathetic battle Anonymous animosity Dirt infested minds You hide behind trivial cynicism Venomous tongues spitting forth lies So quick to criticize the life of others Who are you to judge us Laughing right into your face As we watch your infantile behaviour Love us or hate us - we don't care We never aimed to please you Anonymous animosity Dirt infested minds Anonymous animosity Spreading their disease Always second best Leader Of The Rats Spreading their disease 07. Exist To Exit
Living in the shadows
Crawling in the dark Another face - you will never see Another voice - you will never hear Erase my mortal shell To feed my dying soul Morbid glory shines on me I will leave my mark You will know When I go You will see Exist to exit Suicide - Escape oblivion Kiss the blade of sharp, cold steel The perfect day for my final exit Hold your breath when I die Art, action, reincarnation Evolution through ritual death Reborn as an infamous legend Forever immortal, post-mortem fame 08. Marching On A Dead End Road
(Instrumental)
09. Despicable Heroes
I spit in your face, preacers and leaders
Spewing false dogma to their believers A nation of wolves haunting the sheep Their fangs in your flesh So painful and deep Despise your heroes Living a lie Despicable heroes Fooling the blind (Open your mind) Puppets on strings, face on the ground Nothing more than a shallow farce Consume the young, thoughtless ones Eat their brain, leave them blind And then destroy I spit in the face of your preachers and leaders Spewing false dogma to their believers A nation of fools, nothing but sheep Their fangs in your flesh, so painful and deep. 10. End Of The Line
Welcome to the circus
Leave your brain outside Sit back - relax As we feed you lies Spoon fed stimulation Glittering fashion fascination You are lost in the game Media corruption You'll be amused By the things we do to you But in the bitter end The clown is you End of the line You sold your soul For a better life You are better off dead You had one life You had one shot You blew it And you knew it The rot sets in No self control At the end of the line You play the fool 11. Dehumanization
This is the age of dehumanization
Perverted creation Damned, misled children You never stood a chance Resurrection a dead messiah For a paralysed race Damned, misled children You never stood a chance Infected Neglected The new breed of a generation to come Rejected Illfated The new breed - a generation to kill Sowing the seed of suffering Upon these fertile hearts Damned, misled children You never stood a chance Chosen to be slaughtered By the masters of manipulation Damned, misled children You never stood a chance Infected Neglected The new breed of a generation to come Rejected Illfated The new breed Parasites A generation to kill 12. Anthem
(Instrumental)
13. Saints And Sinners
Born with eyes
But they are not to see Living on your knees Choking on your spiritual agony Follow the traces of blood Throughout the past centuries You choose not to see Bow down and worship me at the altar of shame You strive for perfection But you don't have the tools Human weakness embodied Fodder for fools Feeding the fear of life itself Over and over again And choose not to see Bow down and worship me at the altar of shame So you're the saint and I'm the sinner? You will never understand You're the saint and I'm the sinner No - you will never understand Born with eyes But they are not to see Living on your knees Choking on your spiritual agony Follow the traces of blood Throughout the past centuries You choose not to see Bow down and worship me at the altar of shame |
