01. Hail The Apocalypse

Music & lyrics by Avatar
There's a storm heading our way
All that's been will be gone
All your cities will sink into the ocean
You run away like cattle
But you can not flee the battle
Wipe your ass, it's time to put on your war paint

Throw the spear
Let your hatred fly
Throw the spear
Let your hatred fly
The desert is my prophet
As our lives end by the minute
Stand up straight and fucking put on your war paint

Time to die
Hammer high
Name your price
And kneel

Hail the apocalypse
All flesh is equel when burnt
We are forgiven
Forgive as we never shall learn
Get down
Hail the apocalypse

Once you built
Now you run away
The world is coming down
Leave your mark upon the graves of your stillborn
Just wrap it up in plastic
Isn't killing this fantastic?
Fuck your greed!
Come on and put on your war paint

All the lords I've sworn to obey
I take it back

02. What I Don't Know

Music & lyrics by Avatar
I don't know what I don't know...

There's hellfire in the chalice
Let your lips touch ground and drink
Sister dearest
Sick of love
Don't you know?

I've been promised no salvation
Just a lonely bitter end
For the while I'll spare our lives
Promise me...

I'm the worm inside the bottle
And the fairies gone astray
In this forest creatures dwell
Let me out

03. Death Of Sound

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Welcome to the wasteland
The universe between
Dive intor the darkness and see
The end and oblivion
Entropy

Sinking to the bottom
Lost in a giants dream
Breath the smoke of bodies set free
Read the scripture and glorify
Agony

Let the death of sound
Sing the end of time
By a promise bound
To the water
Bring me water, I'm dying

Given to the ocean
The depths will set you free
Drawn down by the current and feel
Dissolution of body parts
Make me real

04. Vultures Fly

Music & lyrics by Avatar
All orders to surrender are false

Eyes on the target
Back to the wall
Your body's shaking
The mountain's too tall
You want to
Lie down and rest
On Elysian Fields
Carry you home
Upon your shield

A mighty Spartan
You answer to none
You're on a field trip
And hell sounds like fun
You know that
The path is dirty
To fortune and fame
You're sworn and ready
To go down in flames

All orders to surrender are false!
All messages fabricated!
Our goul is the gate of the castle!
Unleash hell!

Vultures fly
And we'll make it worse
Drowning out the light
Out of sight
It's just like a curse
Drowning out the light

You're God's own soldier
The lost and found son
War is you calling
It has to be won
You want to
Show your daddy
You're all grown up and strong
But now the journey
Proved to be too long

Eyes on the target
Back to the wall
You motherfucker you are killing us all

05. Bloody Angel

Music & lyrics by Avatar
How can I sleep when everyone else turns to dust?
How can I breath when my mouth is filled with ashes?
Another day lost trying to exit the program
I've seen enought to feed a psychosis for a lifetime

Bloody angel

When did it strat?
This force is too strong to resist
Where is too far?
All I did was trying to save them
Haunted by screams, chasing me back to my childhood
I cannot flee
I've gor tormentors for a lifetime

Come bloody angel
Break off your chains and look what I've found in the dirt
Pale battered body
It seems she was struggling
Something is wrong with this world

All that I know
I'm willing to give it away
All that I love
Disappeared like sand in the ocean
Remember their lives
Lost within withering pages
Trying to hide, but I see tragedies through our lifetime

Fierce, bloody angel
The blood is on your hands
Why did you come to this world

Everybody turns to dust...

The blood is on your hands

06. Murderer

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Once there was little girl
Visiting a little boy
Stayed up watching late night shows
No one else was home

Once upon a time below
Stangers' faces pale and old
Misery and broken bones
Set the stage

Are you sacred of what you might like?
Are you scared you'll get out alive?
Hear the wind blow and church bells chime
Hear the mob that awaits outside

Shame on you who dared survive
You shall pay
The dead will rise

Murderer
Murderer
Tiny children small no more
Voice their anger:
"Burn the whore!"
Murderer

Will the torturer save your soul?
Will this path take you down below?
Speak the truth, there's no need to fear
Speak the truth that they want to hear

Innocence
Innocence, you have to sink
Innocence
Return from the devil
Release us from hell

Shame on you who dared survive
You shall pay when dead will rise
Pain and torture waits below
Thank these men who made you go

07. Tsar Bomba

Music by Avatar
Lyrics by Avatar and Annette Eckerström
Wach auf!
Was gibt's denn?
Der Regenbogen scheint mir schwartz
Durch meine
Geburt
Hat sich entschieden
Ich habe kein Herz
Ein Geist
Verfolgt mich
Sei mir gegrüsst
Du Meister Streit
Zurückgestossen
Du ziehst mich in die Vergangenheit

Sei brav
Komm näher
Was siehst du auser meinen Gesicht?
Der Abgrund frisst alle
Ein Wesen aus Angst und Hass:

Pharao, Kaiser
Herr über Leichen
Tsar Bomba

Eine Weit in Flammen
Ich kann nicht atmen
Es gibt keine Luft
Im Kieg gefallen
Im ewigen Kampf gegen dich

Ein Mensch bleibt immer ein Mensch und wahrscheinlich bleibt
Ein Schwein immer ein Schwein... Du verdammte Schwein!

08. Puppet Show

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Puppet king, oh puppet king
When you sleep do you dream of control?
Everything, run by strings
Your shadow has a voice of its own

Puppet king, oh puppet king
Have your subjects found out that you're dead?
Whispers sings in the wind
The puppet mob has come for your head

Puppet show
Puppet show

Puppet king, oh puppet king
The end is near
The curtains come down
Hear them sing, dance and drink
A puppet king without a puppet crown

All the children sing
Of a crownless king
When the children sing
The you will know...

The puppet show

09. Get In Line

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Get in line with the plans
Deconstruct
Reassemble
Drill a hole in your head
Say hello to the future
Reproduce
Reconnect
Realize nothing changes
You are part of a piece of a fucking machine

Get in line
Get in line
Get in line

Say your prayers
Speak the truth
Lie and suffer in silence
Sell you soul to the screen on the altar of progress
Scan the earth
Print the sky
Draw a map of the circuits
See your part in the scheme of the fucking machine

Show your face
Hide your scars
Be the pride of your nation
Take a gun
Shoot a load
Join the army of puppets
be in time
Stay online
Stay in tune with the noises
Hear the voices that scream in the fucking machine

Get in line
Get a life

God among machines

10. Something In The Way

Music & lyrics by Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way

11. Tower

Music & lyrics by Avatar
You look like you need a friend
let me in and we'll pretend
Light some candles, do not cry
I'll sing a lullaby

You've lost your key and cannot leave
I'll play with you and make believe
I'll keep you safe with all my power
I will build you a tower

In every stone I'll carve your name
Nothing will be quite the same
Laughter at the midnight hour
In our own little tower

Ashes paint our bedroom gray
These shall be our finest days
As I pledge, my precious flower
Keep you safe in a tower

Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home

Don't be scared you won't be hurt
I promise that I'll keep my word
Just behave and we can play
Just do everything I say

Do not speak and do not think
I will give you everything
Everything within my power
I will bring to your tower

See your home on the horizon
What you were will fade away
Every day of every season
Is devoured by the gray
