01. Tales Of The Weird

From the darkest hole, the eye of the storm
Creatures creeping out, hungry and reborn
Anguish in their faith, their believe
Conquest and disease

Fear takes over, reason should not, but it fails
Thrill of malice, inquisitivness prevails

Hands snatching at us so cruel
Will they get us and kill?
No! We will grow up and spread the thrill

Tales of the weird, horror and fear
Parts in us love it!
Blood thirsty nights, no rules
But fights for heir apparent

Entering your skull with depravity
Lord takes you aside finally you are free!
What is awesome rush overtaking all!
One time comes the call!

Your time's over! Speeding furious - gone!
Hard impact, but you knew that this time would come

Hands snatching at us so cruel
Will they get us and kill?
No! We will grow up and spread the thrill

Tales of the weird, horror and fear
Parts in us love it!
Blood thirsty nights, no rules, but fights
Cowards attack from behind!

Pounding, scorching, crushing, recharging hate
Amdness, roughness, distress, confess to your fate
Tales of the weird

Lord will make you pay sins and bills
Sword of Damocles sure is falls and kills
Life is leaving you, maybe now it's time
Finally you decline!

Your times over, karma judges you
You were takin', never givin' that is true

Hands snatching at us so cruel
Will they get us and kill?
No! We will grow up and spread the thrill

Tales of the weird, horror and fear
Parts in us love it!
Blood thirsty nights, no rules
But fights for heir apparent
Tales of the weird, coming so near
Just trace the world-news
U.S. make it real, one minute, one kill
Tales of the weird, they are near

02. Day Of Judgement

As long as people live on earth
They talk about a sense
And surely there's a man in here
Proclaiming "Planet ends!"

Prophecy's never sure
It's entertainment pure of the cure

Day of judgment kills!
End of agreement!

There's anger between man and God
The one with many names
Commandments that we hurt too hard
Too many mortal sins

Humility is lost
Hearts of us made of frost
Pay the cost!

Day of judgment kills!
End of agreement!

Claws unchaining gates open hell
Shake hands with the fallen one
Earth! The needles up on the peak
Ruthless demons, tyrants speak
Saints confess to army of pain
Warriors get together now
Curse! Control of heaven is gone
Hell does celebrate the new sons

2012, 2012, all lives
End or the world survives
Date arrives

Day of judgment kills!
End of agreement!
God has fulfilled!

03. Brutalized

Coarseness is the creed of our gang,
Shows you that we're serious
Terminate the government
We're soldiers of the road

Brutalized minds of hate
Execution!
We march on
Curse your fate
Resolution!

We are the new aggression
A merciless confession
We do not feel compassion
We're brutalized!

Change your knife!
The 45 m.
Standard in the movement!
Fear no jail!
We gonna prevail!
We've come here to stand

We move on while you die!
See you running out of options
We're so god damn upset of your lies
Tired of your corruptions!

Inside us burns a fire
An overloaded wire
There's tension and desire
We're brutalized!

I smell you're not a soldier!
Your blood is getting colder
'Cause you know we are bolder
We're brutalized!

Youth of today crawls out of your lies
Tough disillusioned
Accept no more compromise
So often betrayed
We lost all our faith

The cause for complaint and mistrust is correct
Loss of respect!

Blood runs red down your face
Your extinction!?
Six feet under -- there's your place
Termination!

We are the new aggression
A merciless confession
We do not feel compassion
We're brutalized!

We're just a little movement
Mobility's improvement!
We have a clear intention
We're brutalized!

Knights!
Bites!
Collide!
Excite!
Fight!

04. Fragile Alliance

There's darkness all around
They draw the curtain over
My body and my life is gone
Anybody, help me out!
'Cause I'm fallin' and fallin'
All is still, I can hear if you're calling
Something's tearing me down

I'm losing all my memories
Life turns away from gentle peace
Stay! But another picture fades away

Now there's no more friends to lose
Throwin' light upon my lifetime
I'm supposed to break in two
Fade away!
What I feel is an empty head
But I'm tryin' and tryin'
Not to lose, not to leave and forget
Make my whole life a lie

I'm losing all my memories
Life turns away from gentle peace
Stay! But another picture fades away

Fragile alliance, of that I know
Getting less, takin' me over
Fragile alliance, body and soul
Broken mind, getting cold
Fragile alliance, of that I know
Getting less, takin' me over
Fragile alliance, body and soul
Broken mind, getting cold
So cold!

Some day depression comes hard
A slap in my face
Drifting, no haven in sight
All alone I have to fight

Down and tired - I'm blown away now
Down and tired - deep in the storm
Down and tired -there's harm inside me, telling me
You should not have been born, have been born!

And I say: "Anybody, help me out!"
Because I'm fallin' and fallin'
All is still, I can hear if you're calling
This is breaking me down

I'm losing all my memories
Life turns away from gentle peace
Stay! But another picture fades away

Fragile alliance, of that I know
Getting less, takin' me over
Fragile alliance, body and soul
Broken mind, getting cold
Fragile alliance, of that I know
Getting less, takin' me over
Fragile alliance, body and soul
Broken mind, getting cold
So cold!

05. Escalation

War, infernal core, business, not more, blood spattered fame
For I sell the death, march on the path of vice and pain
Escalation, exaltation to kill

Hunt, bombers and guns, warlords have won, before they fight
Arms, rockets and tanks, the means on the bank tell me, I'm right!
Escalation, exaltation...

Carnivores and marauders, that's what I saw
My equipments, I promise, decide your war!
Escalation of violence, state power's gone
Domination of malice, the battle's done, done, done, lost and won

We raid you, 'til you have paid the price of your fate
Survive, if you're bold!
Kill, charge and fulfill contract and bill that we have resolved!
Escalation, exaltation...

Carnivores and marauders, that's what I saw,
My equipments, I promise, decide your war!
Escalation of violence, state power's gone
Domination of malice, the battle's done, done, done, lost and won

06. Brainwashed

It's breakfast and the TV's on
He talks, we listen then we're gone
School's out, the children are at home
Turn TV truth and power on

The radio, the reports, the media great and strong
The TV, so powerful, so influential all alone - right and wrong!

We're told we live in freedom-states
That's not untrue
To some extent you love your fate
That's what you should do

We watch TV, believe what's said
They tell the truth, why use my head?
When did we stop to ask'em why?
Since when we're falling for their lies?

The TV - a construct of NSA or the damn FBI?
Newspapers in China, Korea, do they lie?
Daredevil dies!

We're told we live in freedom states
That's not untrue
To some extent you love your fate
That's what you should do

Now I think I'll get paranoid
All, I believed in, seems destroyed
They tell you, what you need, what's true!
But can't you see, what's overdue?

When we phone, they bug us, our data made of glass
The secrets of army and politics should not last
The die is cast!

We're told we live in freedom states
That's not untrue
To some extent you love your fate
That's what you should
But total truth would bring conflicts, heavy loadings
We can believe most of the news
We're the world's best truth!

07. Slashdead

There's oil and gas detected in the sea
And they need tons of it to move their goods
Oil tankers break in two periodically
And death is playin' his melody

Out of sight, out of mind, waste pollute the sea
Who's to die the brutal kind?

We deserve the blackened rose
Tons of trash won't decompose
Money's reigning in your head
You don't care, you slash her death!
Slash!

The timber trade, good for the company
The Amazonian forest offers much
There's hunt and trade of threatened animals
In so much ways, we can not see!

Greed for cash and avarice, lumberjacks arrive
They don't care, who will survive

We deserve the blackened rose
Tons of trash won't decompose
Money's reigning in your head
You don't care, you slash her death!

Death commandos operate
Worldwide and decide your fate
Stand up and frustrate their plan!
Earth recuperates again

Atomic waste disposal underground
Nuclear reactors - an eternal risk
We do not have complete control of it
The folks demand to shut' em down

Hell, infernal overkill
The danger is latent
People start to comprehend

We deserve the blackened rose
Tons of trash won't decompose
Money's reigning in your head
You don't care, you slash her death!
Slash us dead!

Slash!
Slash!
Slash!
Slash!
Slash!
Slash!

08. Zeitgeist

(instrumental)

09. The Downward Spiral

Heaven knows I'm not blind
Can't adhere without a mind
Heaven breaths another sigh
Hesitate what I seek
Terminate society
Heaven weeps another cry

Sail me sober
Stray me closer

Heaven knows I'm alive
Motivate what's inside
Heaven breaths a passive sigh
Can't escape reality
Never wake a fantasy
Heaven weeps another cry

"Tormented screams, that only I can hear
I thrust myself into the black hole and fall through the depths
Sinking Deeper, Becoming Weaker
Will I Wake... I Break..."

Heaven knows this,
Can I beat this hell?
Have I known this
Enough to save myself
Have you noticed,
Another signal's down,
You're barely focused,
I shy away

Heaven knows I'm not blind
Can't adhere without a mind
Heaven screams another cry

10. A Light In The Black

Can't forget his face
What a lonely place
Has he really let us go?

All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away?

All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star

Can't believe it all
Did he really fall
What to do now I don't know

Something's called me back
There's a light in the black
Am I ready to go?
I'm coming home

Breathed the air before
Heard the thunder roar
Never knew it was for me

Always looking down
Lost and never found
Eyes that look but not to see

All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star

Like an open door
That you've passed before
But you've never had the key

Something's calling me back
There's a light in the black
Am I ready to go?

I'm coming home, I'm coming home, yeah
I'm going back to my home

I'm going home, home, home
Going home, home, home
I'm coming back

Don't forget his face
What a lonely place
Did he really let us go

All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away?

All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star

Can't believe it all
Did he really fall
What to do now, well I don't know

Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Yes, I'm ready to go
I'm coming home, home, yeah

I've got my way back home
To the sky
There in the sky
I see your star
