01. Gospel Of The Wretched

MY ENEMIES COME TO DIE
I WILL LIVE AGAIN
HEAT THE RAGE OF MINE
CLEAN THE SOUL OF MINE
MAKE ME SEE MY WAY
WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
THE LOST REIGN THE TWISTED

A SICK MASQUERADE YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME
SPIRITLESS - NO WILL TO SURVIVE
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
THE LOST, THEY REIGN THE TWISTED
WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
THE DOUBLE TONGUE OF THE WICKED

FILTHY PAGES OF BRUTALITY
ENDLESS ROWS OF ENEMIES
CLOSING THE FINAL CHAPTER

02. Thy Won't Be Done

I SCREAM THESE LINES FOR A DYING WORLD
WE´VE GONE TOO FAR
WE´VE CROSSED A LINE
THE RICH FEED THE WEAK
THE DUMB SPEAK FOR THE BLIND

THY WON'T BE DONE
THY KINGDOM WON´T COME
I WON´T BOW

I SCREAM THESE LINES TO A WORLD OF DECAY
I WISH I WAS POSSESSED BY OPTIMISM
I WISH I COULD HIDE FROM MISERY
ADMIT, YOU FEEL IT TOO!

HOW MUCH PAIN DO WE HAVE TO BEAR?
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO BREAK?

THY WON'T BE DONE
THY WON'T BE DONE

I SCREAM THESE LINES TO THE COLD-HEARTED
WE SOLD OUR FATE WITH THE CHEAPEST KIND OF HOPE
GIVE ME A NEW VERSION OF YOUR LOYALTY
MAKE ME SEE ´TIL I WISH I HAD NO EYES

THY WON'T BE DONE
THY KINGDOM WON´T COME
I WON´T BOW

I SCREAM THESE LINES TO A WORLD OF DECAY
I WISH I WAS POSSESSED BY OPTIMISM
I WISH I COULD HIDE FROM MISERY
ADMIT, YOU FEEL IT TOO!
HOW MUCH PAIN DO WE HAVE TO BEAR?
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO BREAK?

03. Hours Of Infinity

CITIZEN ZERO - REGISTERED LOWLIFE UNDER CONTROL
EXIST IN TOTAL DYSFUNCTION
NO DREAM TO DIE FOR
A SICK MASQUERADE YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME
SPIRITLESS - NO WILL TO SURVIVE
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
THE LOST, THEY REIGN THE TWISTED
WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
THE DOUBLE TONGUE OF THE WICKED

RIGHTEOUS PIGS IN CHARGE
MARCH OF THE FORSAKEN
WAR OF WORDS
UNSOLVABLE CONFLICTS
WHO WILL BE NEXT?
AMONG THE APES
SHARP LIQUOR IN YOUR VEINS
SPEECHLESS - NO MEANING AT ALL
NO ONE CARES

WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
THE LOST, THEY REIGN THE TWISTED
WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
THE DOUBLE TONGUE OF THE WICKED

DEAD - DEAD - WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD

TO LIVE - TO KILL - TO EXIST
ALMIGHTY BASTARD SET US FREE

WHERE SPIRITS LIE DEAD
DILUTED SPINES - FORMING SYMBOLS
TWISTED SOBRIETY - TRUE INTENT - DEFY THE SYSTEM
AN EMPTY COALITION
LIES FOR SALE - BURDEN OF SIN
THE SHADOW OF FEAR RISES DARK

IMPENDING DOOM
MY HOURS OF INFINITY
IMPENDING DOOM

DAYS OF SOLEMNITY - PURGATORY IN COUNTLESS REVERIES
SURVIVAL OF THE RICH
DIG DEEPER AS THE BLADE TURNS
SORROW REIGNS MY WORLD

LAST CHANCE LOST
THE CODE IS OUT
MARCH OF THE PIGS
BABYLON´S ON FIRE
GIVING INTO INSANITY
ANGST IS THE HEALER

WE SMILE AS YOUR HEADS ROLL
HARDEST WAY INTO HELL
DESIGN OF HATRED
ERASING GOD
LAST MAN DOWN
WE SMILE AS YOUR HEADS ROLL

DILUTED SPINES - FORMING SYMBOLS
TWISTED SOBRIETY - TRUE INTENT - DEFY THE SYSTEM
AN EMPTY COALITION
LIES FOR SALE - BURDEN OF SIN
THE SHADOW OF FEAR RISES DARK

IMPENDING DOOM
MY HOURS OF INFINITY
IMPENDING DOOM
MY HOURS OF INFINITY

SORROW REIGNS MY WORLD
MY HOURS OF INFINITY
SORROW - PAIN - EMPTINESS
MY HOURS OF INFINITY

04. Altering The Whore

FEEDING THE LIES - REST IN RUST
THROUGH THE MEMORIES OF DEPRIVATION - GIVING BIRTH TO ETERNAL SLAVERY
NO MORE THIS RAGE - I´M RAISED UPON - I´M RAISED UPON
IN MY HEAD WORLDS COLLIDE
IN MY VEINS BLOOD RUNS DRY
IN MY HEART SNAKES ARE CRAWLING
OUT OF ME

ON THE DAY GOD FAILED - MANKIND ROSE TO DISTINCTION
LOST SOULS BEGGING
WHORES ARE CHANTING CURSES - SIRENS ARE CALLING
FROM A WORLD DOWN BELOW

ALTERING THE WHORE
FOLLOW HELL
SPIT OUT THE FINAL CURSE FOR VILE RECKONING
SHADOWS OF MACHINES - DANCING ON OUR GRAVES

REVEAL THE TRUTH - RATS RUNNING FOR LIFE
ABOVE OUR HEADS - SKIES BREAK OPEN
VALLEYS CRUMBLE - UNDER OUR FEET
WE WERE NEVER BE ONE - BE ONE

LIE IN WAIT TO FALL - COLOURS OF WAR
TRACES OF BROKEN MEN
SO LONG OVERCOME THE PURPOSE OF DIGNITY
THE REASON TO LIVE - WEAKEN THE MIND
TRUTH IS ETERNAL - WOUNDS WILL HEAL - SCARS THICKEN THE SKIN

ALTERING THE WHORE
FOLLOW HELL
SPIT OUT THE FINAL CURSE FOR VILE RECKONING
SHADOWS OF MACHINES - DANCING ON OUR GRAVES

ON THE DAY THAT GOD FAILED - A CHOICE WAS MADE
DOOMSDAY WHORES WITHOUT A CHANCE
AEONS OF UNLIGHT FADE

05. Conditioning The Weak

ON THE EDGE - TREMBLING TOWARDS THE END
DRINK THE DISGUISE OF YOUR MEMORIES
POUR OIL IN THE FIRE OF YOUR LOSS
NOTHING IS CERTAIN

MY SIREN CRIES YOUR NAME
THE WRITING ON THE WALL
FOR ALL TO SEE
TELLS YOUR FATE - YOU CANNOT SEE

CONDITIONING THE WEAK
SLAUGHTERING THE DREAM

SHOOT OUT THE LIGHTS
THE HIGH FLOATING THROUGH YOU
PUMPING ADRENALINE
HANGOVER - HAMMERED AND DEAF
TOO WEAK - TO DEFEND YOUR WAY

SANE MINDLESS - BITTER PILLS FOR CLEAN DREAMS
DIGITAL WORSHIP FOR THE RICH
ON THE EDGE - BLACK DIMENSIONS OF MY INNER SELF
HEARTLESS WHORE

SURVIVE THIS SOCIETY
SURVIVE THIS INSANITY

CONDITIONING THE WEAK
BRUISED INSIDE - DEFEND YOUR WAY
SLAUGHTERING THE DREAM - CONTROL YOUR NEEDS
CONDITIONING THE WEAK
SHINE DOWN ON YOUR EMPTY GRAVE
SHINE DOWN ON YOUR EMPTY GRAVE - DREADFUL INSIGHT
SHINE DOWN ON YOUR EMPTY GRAVE - DREADFUL INSIGHT

06. He Who Sows Hate

ACTS OF GOD - WORDS LIKE FIRE
A MORBID NATION - UNDER THE GUN
THE BASTARD IS GRINNING - AS WE LOSE CONTROL
EASY KILLING FOR CHEAP THRILLS

HE WHO SOWS HATE
SEEDS OF VENGEANCE
FOREVER MORE
FOREVER MORE AND MORE

WORN OUT IN THIS ENDLESS RACE FOR LUXURY
CORRUPTION MAKING NEWS
HEARTLESS LEADERS SPITTING EMPTY PHRASES
WE´VE ALREADY CROSSED THE LINE

FORGOTTEN MEMORIES
A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
SAD STORIES OF A RESTLESS WORLD
THE PROPAGANDA IS TAKING ITS TOLL

ACTS OF GOD - WORDS LIKE FIRE
A MORBID NATION - UNDER THE GUN
THE BASTARD IS GRINNING - AS WE LOSE CONTROL
EASY KILLING FOR CHEAP THRILLS

WORN OUT IN THIS ENDLESS RACE FOR LUXURY
CORRUPTION MAKING NEWS
HEARTLESS LEADERS SPITTING EMPTY PHRASES
WE´VE ALREADY CROSSED THE LINE

ECSTASY BY LAW
BROKEN DREAMS OF BLIND IDEALS
HYPOCRISY IN EVERY SHOW

07. Beyond Damnation

ONE MORE TIME FAITH IS LOST
ONE MORE TIME GONE BLIND
ARTEFACT OF A DOWNFALL
LEGEND OF RELIEF
A LOSING GAME - A LOSING GAME
BENT TO BE BROKEN
WITHOUT A WARNING
MY WORLD IS FALLING DOWN

ALL MINE - ALL MINE
THIS GRIEF - THIS LONGING

LIKE A CREEP - UNDERTOW
TORN TO BE WHOLE AFTER DEATH
COLLECTION OF FLAWS
IN CHAMBERS OF FEAR
A LOSING GAME - A LOSING GAME
BENT TO BE BROKEN
WITHOUT A WARNING
MY WORLD IS FALLING DOWN

THIS LIFE HAS NO WORTH TO ME

BEYOND DAMNATION - DEATH FOLLOWS SALVATION
BEYOND DAMNATION - TO DIE IS TO FREE YOUR MIND

LAST BREATH - BLAST IN MY TRAUMA
SYNDROME OF NEUROSIS
SLAY THE DREAM WITH FORGIVENESS
REPEAT CRUELTY LIKE ART
A LOSING GAME - A LOSING GAME
BENT TO BE BROKEN
WITHOUT A WARNING
MY WORLD IS FALLING DOWN

ALL MINE - ALL MINE
THIS GRIEF - THIS LONGING

IN DEATH - IN DREAMS - IN PAIN
ENOUGH IS SAID
VIRTUE OVER FATE
ONLY SICKNESS REMAINS
A LOSING GAME - A LOSING GAME
BENT TO BE BROKEN
WITHOUT A WARNING
MY WORLD IS FALLING DOWN

08. When All Becomes Nothing

FOR THE WAYS OF SIN - PROFANE CREDULITY
OUTRAGES THE FEAR TAKES OVER
A LASTING TORMENT IN MY SOBRIETY
MY DESPERATION BOILS UNKNOWN HATRED

WHAT WILL IT BE?
WHEN ALL BECOMES NOTHING
NEAR THE DARK BLOOD SPILLS OPEN

10 STEPS TO FREEDOM - ONE TO HELL
BREEDING IN THE SOLEMN STILL OF HYPOCRISY
CANNOT COMPREHEND YOUR ILL-NATURED METHODOLOGY

WHEN ALL BECOMES NOTHING
WHEN ALL BECOMES NOTHING

THIS CAGE - THESE WORDS WAKING WOLVES
FORCED TO FIGHT THE NIGHT
SARDONIC VIRTUE LEADS
THE WAY INTO A BLAZE OF ANGER

FOR THE WAYS OF SIN - PROFANE CREDULITY
OUTRAGES THE FEAR TAKES OVER
A LASTING TORMENT IN MY SOBRIETY
MY DESPERATION BOILS UNKNOWN HATRED

WHAT WILL IT BE?
WHEN ALL BECOMES NOTHING
NEAR THE DARK BLOOD SPILLS OPEN

10 STEPS TO FREEDOM - ONE TO HELL
BREEDING IN THE SOLEMN STILL OF HYPOCRISY
CANNOT COMPREHEND YOUR ILL-NATURED METHODOLOGY

09. Where Spirits Lie Dead

THIS IS WHAT - YOU´RE DYING FOR
THIS IS HELL - YOU FEAR
THIS IS LIFE - YOU HIDE FROM
THIS IS WHAT - YOU CANNOT STAND

TIME HAS TOLD THE FAULT IS ON
SEAL OF MANIPULATION
BRANDED SCAPEGOATS FOR ENTIRE GENERATIONS
ON MARCH THE PRIESTS - SAINTS AND SINNERS SIDE BY SIDE

ALL FOR CONTROL - AMONG THE WORMS
ALL FOR A LIE - RITUALS WON?T SAVE A LIFE

THE ENDLESS LEGIONS OF MARTYRS LIKE SHEEPS LEAD TO SLAUGHTER
DRILLED FOR PARADISE - IMMACULATE SINNERS, HOLY ON EARTH
COLLECTOR OF DISCIPLES - COUNTING THE DAYS TO EXTINCTION
THE OVERCOME CONCEPT OF SIN - MANMADE THE MORAL CONFUSION

ALL FOR CONTROL - AMONG THE WORMS
ALL FOR A LIE - RITUALS WON?T SAVE A LIFE

RELIGIOUS INFILTRATION - SPIRITUAL CONTAMINATION
PERVERT THE SYMBOL FOR DELIGHT

THIS IS WHAT - YOU´RE DYING FOR
THIS IS HELL - YOU FEAR
THIS IS LIFE - YOU HIDE FROM
THIS IS WHAT - YOU CANNOT STAND

CULTURES BUILT ON - GUILT AND SHAME
SACRIFICIAL ECSTASY - EASY PREY FOR DUAL PATTERNS
IN SAFE COMFORT SAY A PRAYER - AS POOR STARVE AND DIE
