Told it over and over again, but still you can't comprehend
There's no way I can restrain these feelings that I bear
Deep inside my chest is raging nothing but sole wrath
And I won't give up until I see the world go down in flames

No, do you feel deluded?
Are you sick and tired of not getting what you deserve?
No, are you feeling rejected?
Still the world around you goes crazy, it feels insane
To be an outcast among freaks, but I'm still standing

We're alive in endless pain
Real life has never been
Our lives are empty
Nether void's reality

Realize you're just alive when you lose control
Self-castrated everyday to play a part that's not your role
I am getting to the point that I can't even stand you breathing
So stay the fuck out of my life cause I am done agreeing

No, do you feel deluded?
Are you sick and tired of not getting what you deserve?
No, are you feeling rejected?
Still the world around you goes crazy, it feels insane
To be an outcast among freaks, but I'm still standing

We're alive in endless pain
Real life has never been
Our lives are empty
Nether void's reality

Creation dirge, cold inferno

Still you throw the stones unable to restrain
Better days will never come drowning into grey
A sparkle of illusion providing sullen smiles
The stench of broken dreams is filling up your life

Come forth and reach for the stars
While you're drowning in the gutter
Ascend from this course of perpetual decay

Regretting the things that you should have done
Sorely bound to fail, decaying alone
I see you're just a shadow of yourself
No matter how hard you try you will only fail

No, are you feeling stranded?
Still the world around you goes crazy, it feels insane
To be an outcast among freaks, but I'm still standing

We're alive in endless pain
Real life has never been
Our lives are empty
Nether void's reality

We're alive in endless pain
Real life has never been
Our lives are empty
Nether void's reality

I have already told you so many times before
We ain't the same at all and never ever were
It seems you're made of plastic, while I'm made of solid stone
I'd rather break down to pieces than crawl like you all do

The blame will tie us together
And pain will hold the strings

Stormghost

A cold September morning
The sun's still up there
But down deep inside me
A storm's raging

You should know your place and stick to it when I'm around
I don't wanna hear your voice or see your goddamn frown
No, I ain't peculiar, I am just unbound
There's a thin line between insanity and lack of morals

Care to see the future? Look at yourself
Mind to face the consequences? I surely will

Raging unbroken, tangled in chains
For rabid spirits never restrain

Stay the fuck away from me
Goddamn you, shit-fed society

Dominance and self-respect
Dominance and free will

Fractured and frail the course of your virtue's faltering
Among the decayed the spurt of injustice will teach all your fears to behave

I am the nail
The thorn in your side, I'm calling back to you
I am the blame
The torture and shame lurking behind closed doors

I see the rejection slowly taking control
As defenses crumble to sustain the guilt alone
Abased to a tool redefined, the action of breathing a torment
Malicious and vile, unknown to yourself, tearing your structure apart

I am the nail
The thorn in your side, I'm calling back to you
I am the blame
The torture and shame lurking behind closed doors

I've tried to conceal
From the murmuring abyss
But the guidance I yearn to behold
Slowly fades beyond my grasp

Come forth, don't hold back a thing, cause I won't fall
And you shall be the one to wear the scars
Leeches feeding on my wounds, till I am sore
For all the seasons spent in anger shall remain

I am the nail
The thorn in your side, I'm calling back to you
I am the blame
The torture and shame lurking behind closed doors

Wake up to the sound of failure
It's been knocking at your door again
Sure, you look so goddamn delusional
For the only one responsible is yourself

Don't look for a reason
For there ain't one
And you're the only one to blame now

Calling the rise of sunlight
Waiting for a new dream
A horrible feeling is growing
I open my eyes but here
I only see in darkness
My coffin plate: "Remember Me"

And I won't sympathize

You got a chance and you blew it off
You got it twice and lost control

No matter how hard you try
The word failure seems to be part of your DNA

And I won't withstand the cross you should bear
No, I'm not your friend
All I want is to leave from this world and finally to die
(And finally you're gonna get rid of yourself)

How does it feel to be a shadow of yourself?

This ain't but hostility
Cause wolves and dogs don't mix
As simple as it can be
You mean absolutely nothing to me

What it takes to be alive?
Sweat and blood, no compromise
Don't be afraid to live your life
And face the changes it brings

Cheap tricks have failed to sustain your walk
On fragile legs you're about to fall
And the best part
Is that I won't move a finger
To prevent you from drowning

Fractal radiation
A demented swan
Spreading wings of mangled beauty over my shroud

Let the scars of reality heal inside the womb
Lacerate the outer structure and become a tool

I'm falling in the void
Lost in my mind
Can't believe this world's reality
Looking through the blood and falling rain

I'm falling in the void
Lost in my mind
Can't believe this world's reality
Looking through the blood and falling rain

Force your will among the scattered ashes of the core
Recreate, forge and shape
Fetch the seed of creation and let it blossom

Ravishing and pure
As the creatures crawl

Mad

We are the breed of the catastrophe
And hear the call of the abyss
We have the future within our grasp
And shall see the world burn
Yeah, burn

No, perseverance is such a strain
While destruction is at hand
We shall destroy and then evolve
Eradicate the anomaly

Ravishing and cold
As the dread unfolds now

Spreading wings of blood
A thousand eyes awake and stare

You have to come back to the haze of the creation spell
Looking through your eyes I can see all their faces still
Will I ever comprehend all the things I've seen?
Follow the way of pain to the other side of Hell

Gazing through the eyes of the eternal becoming
Drowning in the streams of this Cold Inferno

And we shall see the world burn
Sustained by the scars
Aware and awake
Ascend to the burning halls of omnipotence

Never submit to the rules of men
Cold and sore is the heart
As the mind strains for sheer knowledge and power

The disease shall be cured
Washed in the tides of blood

Restoration lies in turmoil
Suffocating beneath piles of dirt
The everlasting sparkle still gleams
Awaiting recovery

Make the stand, dive into the glade
As the surrounding world falters
While the ties of reality fade
Shape the demon that carries your name
In the void

All your thoughts are prefabricated
Your beliefs, a sad parade of fucking clichés
As we're going down the road we failed to see so many times
Still bound to ideals that someone forced into our minds

Go on and deceive me, all I see is crumbling down
I'm so sad to upset you motherfucker
But I wanna leave it for real now

Time to learn something, believe in nothing

I feel like I failed
Can't you see I'm slowly crumbling down
As I'm starting to learn how damn easy is
To breathe like a dead
Devoid of forces

There's no point in taking sides as long as everything's a lie
Still we're glad to enslave our minds to a familiar archetype

We never had
A single chance of freedom
We'll never have
Control over our destiny

Go on and deceive me, all I see is crumbling down
I'm so sad to upset you motherfucker
Are you willing to break?

Slaves to the illusion of life

We're slaves to an illusion
Scorned and decadent till our very last breath

Never let these raging flames abandon your heart

Black and bruised, but still awake
I sink down to the oceans below
Procrastinating, just to achieve
A solace far darker than coal

Eyes to see, deceivious
My vision is clear
Hard to justify the cause
But the feeling is mutual

Coming with praise
Coming to prey on my own
You're nothing but a sin
Nothing but a sin, come again

First light comes, how relieving
To sink into the gallows below
Raw embers, sheer blake
A dreamlike death of silence and stone

Raging, scorching, as a shell shock
A sudden rapture, a blackout of mind
For all I've seen I endeavour
To eradicate your life

Downfall, shan't we all fall?
A bitter lesson to learn
Strangled, bruised and mangled
Still the animal rises

I won't be afraid
Illusive as your smile
I cannot restrain
To force the endtime

Shattered parts of a last wail
Fill the gloom of feral silence
Shadows breathe a serenade
As the crows devour the shreds of life

Eyes to see, deceivious
My vision is clear
Hard to justify the cause
But the feeling is mutual

I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid of myself
I cannot restrain
To force the endtime
To force the endtime

And I see
From a sanctuary of feelings of stone
Your turmoil, your struggle
But my walls won't be shaken
By your masquerade

Blessing from below
Cursing from above

For our time is running over and you better understand
We ain't nothing but a sparkle in a million of flames

Controlled exploitation and your nations fall
A little twist of sacrifice, destination: loss

Time holds the strings of this strain
Consecrating what we did in all this
Time holds the strings, flowing blind
Crawling forth to find another reason to die

Mere losers and abusers, we are victims of our times
Let then come the due conclusion to the illusion of life

Sheer irrelevance and numbness, that's what you are
So concerned about the structure, sick tallow dolls

Your society is a cancer
And your world such a failure
I will never be a slave to your laws

As above, so below
For all creation shall now fall

Celebrate
On the war fields of massacre
The eve of eternity
For the end of humanity
Is now close at hand

Nemo dat quod non habet

It's on us all the stench of fear so putrid
As we march on towards our destination

For the conflict never ever ends like the pain inside
Torn between all extremes till the end of time

Forge the human appetite and shape it like a doll
Grant the nails to crucify and demonize the unknown

There's nothing sacred in this world
And nothing's worth dying for
Condemned to fight all my battles alone
I'm not a servant to your cause

Clone the fool and feed the lie, truth has lost its relevance
Teach the puppets to comply and raise their flags of ignorance
Make 'em laugh and scream and shout, panem et circenses
Till they're nothing but drones, bittersweet tragedy

I refuse to be a part of your freakshow
Cause there's nothing left to hold on
I'd rather sink into solitude and scorn

We've been mold into the clay of hate
We're the breed of the underworld
We are born into the clay of hate
We are bound to the netherworld

Misguided drones eager to unify
Beneath the flag of fear
Fear, the guiding force behind your hate
You need to belong

Build a cage of gold and lies and force us to belong
Free will ain't that free at all lost within a freakshow
Make 'em laugh and scream and shout, panem et circenses
Till they're nothing but clones lost within a freakshow

Take a look in the mirror
Dive into the black of your eyes for a while to define the shape inside
The thrill to become what they crave for
Burned all the bridges that once led you to this place
Torn out the wings that made you fly away from them

If I just could medicate
If I could take away the pain
Instead of moving downwards
Sinking to the bitter end

Accept the sorrow
As all that matters fades away
Feed your illusions
Inside acceleration
There's no tomorrow
No turning point or circle's end
Just one conclusion
Despite the acceleration

Still I need to believe
Despite the blame, despite the shame
Something's left inside on me
Something that just can't break free
Still I don't know why
I'm pushing it further inside till the point of pain
So nihilistic, just ram it down and blow me away

Like a silent wave
Sweeping all the pain
And the dirt inside of me
I accept the blame
Of this fragile state
And become the enemy

You haven't seen the last of me cause nothing's what it seems to be
So talk shit, then run and hide, you're such a wasted parasite

[originally by Iron Maiden]

The tough of the track
With the wind
And the rain that's beating down on
Your back
Your heart's beating loud
And goes on getting louder
And goes on even more 'til the
Sound is ringing in your head
With every step you tread
And every breath you take
Determination
Makes you run never stop
Got to win got to run 'til you drop
Keep the pace hold the race
Your mind is getting clearer
You're over half way there
But the miles they never seem to end
As if you're in a dream
Not getting anywhere
It seems so futile

Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner

I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running and win at
All costs
I've got to keep going be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on

Run over stiles across fields
Turn to look at who's on your heels
Way ahead of the field
The line is getting nearer but do
You want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch
Ideals are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race
It's all so futile

Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner
