01. When In Sodom

Music & lyrics by Alex Hellid, Lars-Göran Petrov, Olle Dahlstedt and Nico Elgstrand
When in Sodom
You Live on Lies
And See the World
Through Sodom Eyes
When in Sodom
You do as you Please
And You Pay on Your Knees
1000 Days, 1000 Nights
Gomorrah is on the Rise
When in Sodom
You Bend over Quick (And Say)
Here Let Me Guide
Your Little Stick
When in Sodom
You Do As the Sodomites
And You Earned Every Right
1000 Days, 1000 Nights
Live and Die as Sodomites
So What Difference does it Make?
If I Give or If I Take?
Make No Difference What I Do
I Do it all for Heavens Sake
So What Difference does it Make?
If I Give or If I Take?
Make No Difference What I Do
I Do it all for Heavens Sake
When in Sodom
Time Plus Tragedy
What A Farce
Divine Comedy of Arse
Keep it Nice and Neat
and Shit Where You Eat
We're All Co-Stars
Gomorrah Days
Gomorrah Nights
Live and Die as Sodomites
So as I told you Before
Live just to even the Score
Discredit Everything You See
Give Me Give Me
Much Want More
So as I told you Before
Live just to even the Score
Give Me Give Me
Much Want More
When in Sodom
So What Difference Does it Make?
If I Give or If I Take?
Make No Difference What I Do
I Do it all for Heavens Sake
When in Sodom

02. Carnage

Music & lyrics by Alex Hellid, Lars-Göran Petrov, Olle Dahlstedt and Nico Elgstrand
Through blood and cement
Across dimensions vast
The fuse of Big Bang number to
Is burning fast
Hark ye all
Beneath the treadmill's spell
Lift you heads for all ain't well

Awake ye now to hear the sound
As feet with claws
Tread holy ground
The dogs of hell
Free from their straps
Behind their steps
All laws collapse
The laws that govern
The laws that chain
Nourishment for world insane
Downward spiral vortex twist
In blazing speed the devil's fist

What once was again shall be
Behold the dark emissary of
Carnage
Carnage in the house of god
Carnage
Walls adorned with
Tears and blood
And as if the devil bred
Dogs they chew upon the dead
Banquet served in tombs exhumed
Commemorate the living doomed

By the love of god
And moral codes
Will they still sing
When the world explodes?

Through blood and cement
Across dimensions vast
The fuse of Big Bang number to
Is burning fast
Hark ye all
Beneath the treadmill's spell
Lift your heads and welcome hell
Lift your heads and welcome hell

Carnage
Carnage in the house of god
Carnage
Walls adorned with
Tears and blood
And as if the devil bred
Dogs they chew upon the dead
For flesh shall be
As flesh consumed
In the stomach of
The beast entombed

By the love of god
And moral codes
Will they still sing
When the world explodes

03. Thou Shalt Kill

Music & lyrics by Alex Hellid, Lars-Göran Petrov, Olle Dahlstedt and Nico Elgstrand
Thou shalt kill
You got blood to spill
The first to aim
The last to laugh
I will take your world
And break it in half
I will make an example
Out of you

You are the symbol of hate
I am the powers that be
Running will just fan the flames
Destruction in heaven's name

Thou shalt kill
You got blood to spill
Destroy at will and kill
You got lives to end
For the thrill
And you will

Kill everything that you love
Destroy everything
That you need
Together you kill everything
There's hate
In the love song you sing

True believers and kind souls
Get it every time
Always first to taste the whip
And to polish it

First to aim
Be the last to laugh
I will take your world
And break it in half
I'm sending out a message
Shaped like you
You are the symbol of hate
I am the powers that be
Running will just fan the flames
Destroy in heaven's name
Worship me and fulfil
Fuck free will
Thou shalt kill

04. Heresy

Music & lyrics by Alex Hellid, Lars-Göran Petrov, Olle Dahlstedt and Nico Elgstrand
All you deity wannabes
With all your hearsay heresies
You lie to everyone
You want to be the sun
You want the world to kneel
Hearsay heresy
Deity wannabe

Liar - it's plain to see
Liar - it's you and me
Liar - and I won't kneel
You're not the only one
You're not the holy son
You're not trinity

Hearsay heresy
Deity wannabe
Crucifixion so absurd
It's time to thin the herd
Fuck your word

The problem with religion
Is that it's full of lice
That suck the blood
And marrow
Out through it's bleeding eyes
Spare me your contradiction
And hearsay heresies
The word is Crucifixion
And pervert reveries
The world is full of vermin
Pathetic wannabes
Who knows there's
Something out there
Spare me your prophecies
You smell
There's something rotten
And everybody knows
But when you
Cut the grass to see
Only the scapegoat show
The snakes are all in heaven
That's how the story goes
And when the grass is cut
(Surprise)
Only the dead shakes show

Liar, liar
And everybody knows
Liar, liar
Dynasty in blasphemy
Deity wannabes
It's time to thin the herd
Crucifixion remedy
Hearsay heresy
Dynasty in blasphemy
Deity wannabes
It's time to thin the herd
Crucifixion remedy
Hearsay heresy

05. Amen

Music & lyrics by Alex Hellid, Lars-Göran Petrov, Olle Dahlstedt and Nico Elgstrand
Hell yes, god bless
we're such a beautiful mess
I want to be a one in a million
Overnight success
I want the world handed to me
On a silver platter
I want to be the only thing
In this world that matters
Free

Sure hell we all smell
But on TV you can't tell
Dumb luck or coincidence
But you're buying what I sell
I offer you the world
Give you everything you need
I'll bless you with patience
And then I give you will
To succeed

I will give you
Everything you need
'Til it bleeds
Hell yeah, I'll be there
Whenever you got
A minute to spare
I'll be all dressed up
Just waiting to take you there
I offer you the world
On a silver platter
I make it look like ice cream
And I swear
It won't make you fatter

Well what the hell
Does it matter
When you got the world
On a silver platter
How could anything else
Possibly matter
