01. Guillotine

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
Piece by piece, limb by limb
Hear the screams of a dying world
Everything you bring smells of decay

Because you, you let me down
Deep down in a state on confusion

Hate, you build on your hate
As you lay under the guillotine

Stone by stone, strength by strength
Your betrayal is monumental
Hiding through the cracks of fear
I see you dying

Because you, you let me down
Deep down in a different dimension

Greed, it's all about your greed
As you lay under the guillotine

Heads will roll, justice served

Because you, you let me down
Deep down in a state on confusion

Hate, you build on your hate
As you lay under the guillotine

Because you, you let me down
Deep down in a different dimension

Greed, it's all about your greed
As you lay under the guillotine

02. Outsider

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
I told you before and I'll tell you again
I'm the last one you'll see before you die
I came from the gutter
Just to see you suffer

Don't say a word, don't even breathe
All the poison you spill, all the lies you feed
Designed to kill and torture lives
All the innocent darkness with no regrets

No regrets

This chaos you bring, a symphonic greed
As you fall in your fate, the abysmal doom
These hypocrite lies made to enslave
As you sharpened the blade... incarcerate
I've seen you stumble in your weakened soul
All the broken promises untold
The blood will spill, there's no escape
I'm here to say, your time is over

You think you know it all...
But before you open your mouth, you need to take a hard look in the mirror
Learn how to walk the walk before you talk the talk.

Outsider
Outsider

It's who I am, it's what I live for
Two steps from the grave... always
I came to kill your heroes
I came to kill your heroes

No place to live, no place to die
No heart to break and no guilt to take
All the things you said, I'll never forget
You push to kill, there's no remorse
I step inside your pitiful life
And tear apart all your broken lies
I can't express all the anger inside
I'm sick of the world as it comes undone

03. The Last Breath I'll Take Is Yours

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
Run where you can't hide
Your stabbing words of anger
Steal my innocence dry
Steal the sun from the sky
I feel all of your hatred
I see all of your weakness
Lost in a vision

I push all of you bastards out
I'll take all of you traitors out
The last breath I'll take
The last breath I'll take is yours

You can't escape your own shadow
You can't walk backwards and see your path forward
Every single time you broke the promise
You looked me dead in the eyes and lied
It's just a matter of time

You can't escape your own shadow
You can't walk backwards and see your path forward
Every single time you broke the promise
You looked me dead in the eyes and lied
It's just a matter of time

I push all of you bastards out
I'll take all of you traitors out
The last breath I'll take
This last breath I'll take
I push all of you bastards out
I'll take all of you traitors out
The last breath I'll take
The last breath I'll take is yours

Is yours

04. Narcissist

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
Narcissist
Narcissist

You're a narcissist and you can't lie
Everything you spit is bulletproof
Because you're godlike
But I see right through you

You're a coward
You're weak and distorted
You're a fraud
You're just human

I bet you'll never see this coming
I bet you worship the gods of deceit
I see you dwell in your heaven
Where the pit of snakes dwell to rot forever

I'm here driven to cast you out...

You're a narcissist and you can't see
All the things that lead the blind
You drown in yourself
The mirror of death

You're a liar, liar
You're a narcissist, narcissist
You're a venom, venom
You're a narcissist

05. Born To Kill And Destined To Die

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
Born to kill and destined to die

We got the seed
It's deep inside
And ready to bloom
Ready to strike
It's waiting in the dark
It's looming in the front
Cast aside your dreams
Cast aside your demons

Bred to kill with no remorse
Bred to feed the god machine
Bred to walk among the dead
Bred to dictate the way of life

Your hope is my demise
The sky will come falling down
We're born to kill and destined to die
Born to kill and destined to die

Don't you threat on me
Don't you disrespect where you come from
Where you breathe, where you live
And where you'll die
Where you'll die

I am lawless
Feel the cut from the broken glass
Head first in the fire
Fall down to the traitors above
You crawl left to burn

I am lawless
Feel the cut from the broken glass
Head first in the fire
Left to burn

Born to kill
Destined to die
Born to kill
Destined to die
Born to kill
Destined to die
Born to kill
Destined to die

06. In Limbic Resonance

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
Ride along the fiery skies above
Walk the path of the fearless ambition that crushes the souls below
Hand me the light that will bleed the sun to dark
Then let the ravens roam the faithless core

Connected through the parallel abyss
Struggle the fear of failure beneath the horizon
Let the vision guide you to the gates of knowledge
Bleed the fears your mind beholds

Shatter the chains that nail you down
Eclipse the mirrors of deceit
Trample down the faithful assassins
And taste the blade of vengeance

In limbic resonance

Pull me up from these drowning waters
Intensify the core inside
Pull me up from the fire below
Intensify my will to survive

Survive

I will be the one to stand above all
I will be the one to reign again

07. And Then I Saw Blood

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
And then I saw blood
I saw your life fading away
I saw you fall to darkness
I saw you blame me for everything

So hate me, love me
Envy me, but destroy me
For everything you cannot be
Cannot see and cannot feel
Above all the loyalty
You're a traitor to your own heart
I'll never stand in your way
No I'll never stand in your way
Of self-destruction

Rise above the shadows
Rise above your empty words
I walk the path of those who battle
Beyond redemption

Slave
You're a slave to all your demons
Take a bite of this rotten apple
See your fate unfold
Let temptation walk right through you
Bleed you dry into a venomous snake
Take the steps of decay
And forever lay to rest

And then I saw blood
I saw the truth stabbing your heart
I saw your core bleeding to death
I saw your fear fading away

So hate me, love me
Envy me, but destroy me
For everything you cannot be
Cannot see and cannot feel

Through your everything
Let the world sow, everything falls
Let the guilt of sin die
In the wake of the burning sun
Salvation will never come
Betrayer of souls
Our bound forever lost
Forever lost

Rise above the shadows
Rise above your empty words
I walk the path of those who battle
Beyond redemption

08. What Doesn't Break Doesn't Heal

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
What doesn't break, doesn't heal
The faster you learn, the slower you burn
What doesn't break, doesn't heal
The faster you learn, the quicker they turn

Break it, just take it and seize it
Let the pain become your strength
Your altar, your tower
Your everything, everything

They said I'd fall in the ocean of failure, failure
They said I'd crawl to the gates of hell, to the gates of hell
But I'm hard to kill, hard to kill, I'm here for the hunt
And want it all, and want it all, I'll take it all, I'll take it all

Bring me your tyrants
Bring me your gods
Bring me your wrath
Bring me your hate

What doesn't break, doesn't heal
What doesn't break, doesn't heal
What doesn't break, doesn't heal

I drank from your poisoned well, yeah
I walked on your rusted nails
I drowned in your sea of blood
And I'm still alive, still alive, still alive
I'm still alive

09. Bend The Arc, Cut The Cord

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
Bend the arc and cut the cord
Let the rage and blood flow
Imagine the world you left behind
Coming for vengeance with the gods below

And they'll never let go
Till you give up your soul
In the fire of rejection

Bend the arc and cut the cord
Live your life in torment and hell
There's no choice for you my friend
All the guilt will swallow you whole

And they'll never let go
Till you give up your soul
In the fire of rejection

And they'll never let go
Till you give up your soul
In the fire of rejection

Can you withstand the pressure within
Can you carry the knives that will serve her to your death
They will topple your kingdom and bring you to your knees
So bend the arc and cut the cord
Bend the arc and cut the cord
Bend the arc and cut the cord
Bend the arc and cut the cord

10. Achilles Heel

Music by Kataklysm
Lyrics by Maurizio Iacono
Can you hear them screaming? As they storm into the night
Where shadows take cover and lash at the light
King of the fallen, you come to pay
Pay the gate keeper
To save your soul... betray your dreams untold...
Son of lies... fire of the gods...

Descend the arrows (descend the arrows)
Upon the burning bodies (upon the burning bodies)
You left to die
To die

Fear me
In your darkest hour
I climb the ladder of snakes
Enthralled and mangles

Stay with me
Until the very end
No matter how hard you fall
You'll always be my Achilles' heel

In war defeated
In triumph uplifted
I lift the spirit of victory

Dawn the new age
Where everything means nothing
Where you're swallowed in black
And the vultures fly above
Denied existence
As you fall to your knees

Stay with me
Until the very end
No matter how hard you fall
You'll always be my Achilles' heel
