'We are blind to the
World within us, Waiting to be born' I cast aside my chains Fall from reality Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth [Chorus:] The face of all your fears All your fears unleashed The face of all your fears Born of the demon sky Twisting reality Sweet nauseating pain Is death the only release? Nauseating pain Is death the only release? [Chorus:] The face of all your fears I cast aside my chains Fall from reality Suicidal disease The face of all your fears Now covered with sores Humanity exiled Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth 02. Slaughter Of The Soul
Never again
On your forcefed illusions to choke You feed off my pain Feed off my life [Chorus:] There won't be another dawn We will reap as we have sown Always the same My tired eyes have seen enough Of all your lies My hate is blind [Chorus:] Slaughter of the soul Suicidal final art Children - born of sin Tear your soul apart Never again My tired eyes have seen enough Of all your lies My hate is blind [Chorus:] Slaughter of the soul Suicidal final art Children - born of sin Tear your soul apart 'Men must attempt to develop in themselves and their children liberation from the sense of self ...men must be free from boundaries, patterns and consistencies in order to be free to think, feel and create in new ways' [Luke Rhinehart, 'The Diceman' - 1971] 03. Cold
To rid the earth of the filth
To rid the earth of the lies The will to rise above Tearing my inside out [Chorus:] I feel my soul go cold Only the dead are smiling To rid your heart of all lies Their poison tongues, poison hearts Burning cold... Now let the final darkness fall [Chorus:] '...The dream of the new disease On wings of euphoria... Sucking terror from the needle scars...' 22 years of pain And I can feel it closing in The will to rise above Tearing my insides out 04. Under A Serpent Sun
Web of corruption thick with deceit
The language of destruction, the slaughter of the meek Under a serpent sun - we shall all live as one No rest for the wicked, the children of god The final retribution, the final curtain torn Within us - the flames of the end Survival of the fittest, the hunt for the sacred game Under a serpent sun - we shall all live as one Children of chaos - born of holocaust seed Inherit the addiction, angels of genocide breed Within us - the flames of the end Survival of the fittest, the hunt for the sacred game Under a serpent sun - we shall all live as one Sweetfleshed, hellbent creature Artist of the fevered soul Heavenly, venomous rapture Stricken numb by fear I fall Stricken numb by fear I fall 05. Into The Dead Sky
[Instrumental]
'Recently it has become possible for man to chemically alter his mental state and thus alter his point of view. He than can restructure his thinking and change his language so that his thoughts bear more relation to his life and his problems, therefore approaching them more sanely...' [the 13th floor elevators] 06. Suicide Nation
Utopia - lost in chaos
As the sky turns black Suicide legacy There is no turning back ...no turning back [Chorus:] Retribution answers cold Moving in for the kill Deep hideous festering Bestial spidemic, repulsive need Control, control Suicide nation Mass-appeal, death-addiction Dead but dreaming Restrained by phobia, brainwashed into submission Control, control Suicide - jaws locked around your spine ...locked around your spine 'The face of evil is always the face of total need...' [W.S.Burroughs, 'Deposition: Testimony concerning a sickness'] [Chorus:] Control, control Suicide - jaws locked around your spine 07. World Of Lies
Degeneration tears your black skies
The final descent for the last in life No joy in our tired lives - the torment builds inside The sun sets forever on a world of lies World of lies [Chorus:] World of lies Non-divine Release me Demonic vultures feed on your mind Disarmed of all your pride you die No life in our alien eyes - the blind lead the blind The sun sets forever on the non-divine Non-divine [Chorus:] Final psychotic eclipse Painted in the colours of war Final psychotic eclipse A world drenched in blood Degeneration tears your blackened eyes The final descent for the last in life No joy in our tired lives - the torment builds inside The sun sets forever on a world of lies World of lies [Chorus:] 'And it's his illusions about what constitutes the real world which are inhibiting him... His reality, his reason, his society ...these are what must be destroyed' [Luke Rhineheart, 'the Dice Man' - 1971] Final psychotic eclipse Painted in the colours of war Final psychotic eclipse A world drenched in blood of the innocent 08. Unto Others
You hold high the banner of self-deceit
Encaged in the dogmas of life, you join the elite [Chorus:] My judas-window stays shut - shut forever more My judas-window stays shut - shut forever more You mock the weak for not giving you their trust In your world of make beleive, where statues turn to dust [Chorus:] You walk through what is me Stare blind - cannot see Your thoughts flee to a different land They are free, but you are bound Silenced forever, the walls are closing in The keys to our damnation - burial... burial within [Chorus:] ...shut forever more 09. Nausea
Release me from your world of lies
I cannot bear this pain Degenerate machinery The monsters we create The monsters we create Nausea, oh sweet nausea Genetic barcode hell Mental genocide Repulsive human shells Choke on the fruits of life Choke on the fruits of life Nausea, oh sweet nausea Cold stare, starving eyes Blinded, tired lives Release me from this pain Unknown to man Nausea, oh sweet nausea Cold stare, starving eyes Blinded, tired lives Release me from this pain Unknown to man Unknown to man 'The family structure, victory over adversity through the family. Mix the god and country add the ten hour day and you had what was needed...' [C. Bukowski, 'Ham On Rye'] 10. Need
'...Because of my love for all living
...I choose to die...' Open me, with your kiss of steel End my pain - set me free For we are enslaved, forever enslaved Open me, with your kiss of steel End my pain - set me free Live only to die some more Need - killing yourself to live For we are enslaved, forever enslaved Lay your fears to rest.. fears to rest Let your dreams awake... dreams awake For we are enslaved, forever enslaved Lay your hate to rest - open me... 11. The Flames Of The End
[Instrumental]
'Humanity - the living end, a walking disease Beyond good and evil, the flesh that never rests The flames of the end inside us rest' |
