Tracks



01. Hand Over Fist

Death, tragedy and despair
For such things I don't care
Nor do I mind the past
I live my life in the fast

To tuning up my engine
Is all I can imagine
To me there's nothing that feels
Like the burning of my wheels

High speed I can't resist
I go hand over fist

Being trimotored I'm flawless
Superior all laws
I'm flawless, I'm lawless

High speed I can't resist
I go hand over fist
On hyper-speed I insist
I go hand over fist

The power surge
The power surge
When these four wheels and I will merge

To tuning up my engine
Is all I can imagine
To me there's nothing that feels
Like the burning of my wheels

High speed I can't resist
I go hand over fist

Being trimotored I'm flawless
Superior all laws
I'm flawless, I'm lawless

The power surge
The power surge
When these four wheels and I will merge

02. Fire In The Soul

Led by a tearing feeling
That grows internally
Like the itching of healing rips inside of me

It's burning holes
It is the fire in my soul
Burning holes
I am the firesoul

My strengths exceeds compared when younger
I'm driven by abnormal hunger -
Extreme thirst
Even though it feels like if I'll burst
I'm spawned and I am cursed

With powers superhuman
Constantly within grow
I am reborn, now few can resist my inner glow

It's burning holes
It is the fire in my soul

My strengths exceeds compared when younger
I'm driven by abnormal hunger -
Extreme thirst
Even though it feels like if I'll burst
I'm spawned and I am cursed

Led by a tearing feeling
That grows internally
Like the itching of healing rips inside of me

It's burning holes
It is the fire in my soul
Burning holes
I am the firesoul

03. Friction

Juggernaut, molotov
Panzerfaust, Glock, Kalashnikov
AK4, civil wars
Anywhere near contradictions
There's friction

I have an inborn addiction
For things that are reversed
'cause resistance and conflicts
Always ends up in discord and in friction

Friction, friction - sweet friction
Friction, friction - my addiction

Juggernaut, molotov
Panzerfaust, Kalashnikov
Messerschmitt, AK4
Tomahawks and civil wars
Anywhere near contradictions
My prediction - there's friction

Friction, friction - sweet friction
Friction, friction - my addiction
Friction, friction - bring me fire
Friction, friction - burning higher

I have an inborn addiction
For things that are reversed
'cause resistance and conflicts
Always ends up in discord and in friction

Friction, friction - bring me fire
Friction, friction - burning higher

Juggernaut, molotov
Panzerfaust, Glock, Kalashnikov
AK4, civil wars
Anywhere near contradictions
There's friction

04. Warborn

Built to be launched
Made to destroy
Created for the final blitz

Born warhead
With hate and uranium fed
Heavier than lead

Heat-seeking
Death-reeking
Launched from it's socket is this rocket

Killing mode
Triggered and with a fatal load
I will explode

I carry armageddon

Soon to erase
Nuke and delete
I'm ready for the total blitz

I am warborn and
I am airborne
To bring death where I strike I have sworn

Born warhead
With hate and uranium fed
Heavier than lead

I'm the courier of death

Built to be launched
Made to destroy
Created for the final blitz

I am warborn and
I am airborne
To bring death where I strike I have sworn
I am warborn and
I am airborne
My target in pieces will be torn

I am warborn
I am airborne

05. Feed On The Fallen

We lurch over sprawling dead
Pain them not, but crush their heads

Front's no longer far
Explosions ceaseless are

You're going down

Following order
To bring disorder
Once we have crossed the border

It has cost a thousand men
Yet we form and strike again

We feed on the fallen
We weed out the weak
We prosper on the fallen
And the feebles we do seek

We practise proxy warfare

Rapidly the warriors decrease
Soon alone and living is a breeze

Following order
To bring disorder

It has cost a thousand men
Yet we form and strike again
Blood is easily sold
For the price of solid gold

We've killed them all then
Empowered by the fallen

06. Royal Straight Flesh

Proud as the dawn and as the sunset brave
For combat our immortality we gave
No remorses, no step aside
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride

Dying is more precious than gold
We know we will never grow old
Crusader
Invader
No death can wait 'til later
We will never fall on our swords
To fail our sanguinary lord...
...blindfolded and we're made of

Royal, straight flesh, royal
To our king and queen we're loyal
Royal, straight flesh, royal
To their bloodthirst we are loyal

Fullbody-armoured and powered by our king
With pride and with lust our axes we will swing
No remorses no step aside
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride

Dying is more precious than gold
Now we know that we have been sold

Proud as the dawn and as the sunset brave
For combat our immortality we gave
No remorses, no step aside
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride

Royal, straight flesh, royal
To our king and queen we're loyal
Royal, straight flesh, royal
To their bloodthirst we are loyal

07. Back For The Attack

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I'm not there, I do not sleep
I'm the thousand winds that blow
I'm the frozen blood on snow

I'm wherever there's a tragedy
I strike without sympathy

I'm back
In black and back on track
I'm back for the attack

Easily forgotten
When absent never missed
But now my flesh is rotten
Yet do I exist, I exist...I exist!

I am back to revenge life
With human race I am at strife
I'm the unluck that surrounds you
And the bitter irony too

Don't stand at my grave and cry
I'm not there, I did not die

I'm back
In black and back on track
I'm back for the attack

Easily forgotten
When absent never missed
But now my flesh is rotten
Yet do I exist

I'm back
In black and back on track
I'm back for the attack

Attack!

08. Blood Brigade

Now our calm nature has changed
As one of us has died
Yet the death is unrevenged
On vengeance wings we ride
...all your beggings denied
Bloodscent is our flawless guide

We will march and invade
With our death parade

We are armed in steel & leather
Dressed to kill and punish tar & feather

Spear-armed, unfearharmed
We will detonate
And devastate
Every state
With rage we storm
As we have formed a rigid -
A rigid death brigade

We are the blood brigade
Of warriors self-made
We will march and we will invade

Spear-armed, unfearharmed
We will detonate
And devastate
With our death brigade

Charge!

Now our calm nature has changed
As one of us has died
Yet the death is unrevenged
On vengeance wings we ride
...all your beggings denied
Bloodscent is our flawless guide

Spear-armed, unfearharmed
We will detonate
And devastate
With our death brigade

We are the blood brigade
Of warriors self-made
We will march and we will invade
We are the blood brigade
Of solid steel we're made
We will march with our death parade

09. Pick Your Poison

Regret is what man is made of
Regret for things done wrong
And for things not done at all

But does it make sense - to build defence
Between ones guilt and ones need - to make amends

The grass is always greener on the other side

So why is this true - why always view
Things from a false perspective - dreams of what others do

How come the upper crust
Do dream of immortality
If in fortune trust then
Dead regardless
Pick your poison

What is man hoping for
Why always much wants more
Dead regardless
Pick your poison

Absence makes the heart grow founder
Absence when asunder
This is a wicked wonder

But does it make sense - to build defence
Between ones guilt and ones need - to make ammends

How come the upper crust
Do dream of immortality
If in fortune trust then
Dead regardless
Pick your poison

Dead regardless
Pick your poison

Is there a point in trying
When our mentality
Is hopelessly undermined
What is there left but dying
Sensing fatality
Of the entire mankind

Regret is what man is made of
Regret for things done wrong
And for things not done at all

So why is this true - why always view
Things from a false perspective - dreams of what others do

What is there left but dying
Sensing fatality
Of the entire mankind

10. Dangerous When Dead

The larger the island of knowledge
The longer is the shoreline of wonder

Dangerous when dead
Fatal when misled
If hopelessness takes place instead, then
Dreams are dangerous when dead

All the carnal beauty is but skin deep
In spite of the fact that grace comes not dirt cheap
All hail the death of a sailor
Cause nothing beats a try but a failure
Now it's time to stand and to wake up
And realize I've been drinking from a broken cup

Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

If you were born to be shot, you'll never drown
Although it means not that you won't go down
It suddenly have come to my senses
It's time to batten up my defenses

Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

All the carnal beauty is but skin deep
In spite of the fact that grace comes not dirt cheap

Jewels are few
And far between
But they're not unseen

If you were born to be shot, you'll never drown
Although it means not that you won't go down
It suddenly have come to my senses
It's time to batten up my defenses

Never surrender or beat the retreat...beat the retreat
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

Jewels are few
And far between
But they're not unseen

The larger the island of knowledge
The longer is the shoreline of wonder

Dangerous when dead
When hopelessness comes instead
Dangerous when dead
Fatal are dreams when they are dead

11. Brakefailure

Brakefailure!

Motorized
Hypnotized
Re-energized
I rapidly accelerate,
Exaggerate...

On burning wheels
Tuned up ruthlessly and founded in
Solid steel

Missiled up when the pedal is pounded
Head over heels

Feeling the heat from underneath the seat
When the top speed is reached and beyond

Brakefailure!

Loosing the sight when approaching a light
Too bright I'm forced to abruptly interrupt
Petrified when realizing I'll collide
In neckbreaking speed on the warninglight I read

Brakefailure!

Motorized
Hypnotized
Re-energized
I rapidly accelerate,
Exaggerate...

Now as the end is near
Put in the highest gear

Fear can not stop me now
I will die anyhow
