Wreck of a human mind blurring the line
Between what is real, what's fiction and what I feel Night after night, sin after sin Year after year I don't know where I've been Different day with the same old refrain And it's starting to blare all over again Bloodshot, black and blue Eyes empty through and through Faceless, dreary soul Like a bottomless black hole Your future is bleak, my past is unknown Don't leave me behind, just leave me alone Nowhere to be found, forever lost Making a break for it at any cost This road's gonna kill me So put me down, distill me End of the line, the end of me, oh yeah This road is goin' down And around until I drown This road's gonna kill me, oh yeah You start at bulletproof And ten feet tall With anger through the roof Still feeling so small This road's gonna kill me So put me down, distill me End of the line, the end of me, oh yeah This road is goin' down And around until I drown This road's gonna kill me, oh yeah 02. Under Grass And Clover Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
Flashback from the night before
Was it the other day, I couldn't say It's all coming in pieces But before you know they just fade away Goddamn! What did I hear, what'd I do? Where did I go and how'd I get there? I know... I'm too far gone A deadbeat, a travesty What's my strategy? Fuck me, there's blood on my hands That's nothing new but now they're shaking too Everything's soaked in sweat Here comes the "forgive and forget" Who should I forgive? Forget that plan I really don't give a damn I just need my fix, I'm dying Break out the bottle and stop crying And the calm washes over My soul drying my tears Under the grass and clover A new sense of hope appears Choking - breathing exhaust Hard to keep an even keel Shot - boiling mercury It burns so bad yet I can't feel Choking - breathing exhaust Hard to keep an even keel Sweating - boiling mercury It burns so bad yet I can't feel Walking - in a mine field Tired of keeping my eyes peeled Shot - to hell and fried No heaven, evermore denied And the calm washes over My soul drying my tears Under the grass and clover A new sense of hope appears 03. Glass Houses Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
Keep your enemies closer they say
But I prefer mine dead and miles away Wanna save the world now and right away? Tomorrow would be better cos there wasn't one today The absence of your mind Preaching, judging Is hard for you to fake Reactions of your kind Cringing, whingeing Is too much for me to take Ignorance is a bliss That might be but not when you throw Stones in a house made of glass With your halo buried far up your ass If a pen is mightier than a sword I wish you luck sincerely in your world What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger Is a crock of shit, I'm sick of it Sick of you, fuck you too Distress and nothing less you breed Confess and you're blessed Set free from your sin ain't that something Absolution leaves me nothing The absence of your mind Preaching, judging Is hard for you to fake Reactions of your kind Cringing, whingeing Is too much for me to take The absence of your mind Preaching, judging Is hard for you to fake Reactions of your kind Cringing, whingeing Is too much for me to take 04. Hecate's Nightmare Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
We never meant to let you down
But it all just goes to show We keep on dancing though we know It's the same old song of woe Two torches light up the way As they beckon from below To the groves of willows where The seeds of hate we sow Lost souls hover over the crossroads Crying out your name If the desire is do or die When all else has failed Calling upon you is a game Never lost or never prevailed Lost souls hover over the crossroads At rise of the new moon When the gates slowly open wide The hinges creak their tune We're like Hecate's nightmare Three shots from you and none to spare Should've been more watchful Calling out your name in vain We never saw your pain Hecate's nightmare Unaware of the damage beyond repair We're like Hecate's nightmare Three shots from you and none to spare Nightmare - unaware Of the damage beyond repair Gates close in the light of the moon And the hinges creak their tune We have become... Hecate's nightmare - unaware Of the damage beyond repair Hecate's nightmare Three shots from you and none to spare Nightmare - unaware Of the damage beyond repair Should've been more watchful Calling out your name in vain We never saw your pain Hecate's nightmare - unaware Of the damage beyond repair 05. Kick In The Spleen Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
You're whining bitching all day long
You don't connect you don't belong When you wanna 'fess up and you wanna come clean It's like taking a kick in the spleen Could you dial back just a notch I'm asking? Will you won't you do you don't you With the insecurities that you're masking Not that I would do but could you You wear things out like the air we breathe You care about things like what's underneath You rant about shit and nobody cares Take a tumble down in a flight of stairs Could you dial back just a notch I'm asking? Will you won't you do you don't you With the insecurities that you're masking Not that I would do but could you Your sob stories are the oldest ones in the book Will you won't you do you don't you That's what we call a storm in a tea cup Not that I would do but could you So could you dial back a notch I'm asking... Will you won't you do you don't you With the insecurities you're masking Not that I would do but could you Your sob stories are the oldest ones in the book Will you won't you do you don't you That's what we call a storm in a tea cup Not that I would do but could you 06. Platitudes And Barren Words Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
I'm broken, you're bent
I laugh while you repent Threw punches never left a dent Kick and scream you can feed the flame Put out the fire it's all the same Just either clock out or stake your claim C'mon just lay it on the line You're running on fumes and out of time It takes more to be convincing Than platitudes cause your words are wearin' thin I rush you stall Here we go you're on a roll Driving me right up the wall Emotions left ripped at the seams The game is over or so it seems But sticks and stones won't Break your fuckin' routines C'mon just lay it on the line Cut me a break don't take your time I'm up for laying down the swords Just no more platitudes or barren words I'm filled to the brim What's one more deadly sin? To lose or win Should I frown or grin C'mon just lay it on the line You're running on fumes and out of time It takes more to be convincing Than platitudes cause your words are wearin' thin I'm filled to the brim What's one more deadly sin? To lose or win Should I frown or grin 07. Hexed Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
Sometimes my pain is so damn elaborate
That I can taste the blood in my tears Trying to forget? They haunt me? taunt me The dreams that are nothing but A cruel joke on me I'll ride 'em out yet I'm taut In actuality Hexed Turned into a casualty Hexed A blessing or a travesty? Kill me once, who's to blame? Kill me twice, I'm yours to claim Curse me once, shame on you Hex me twice, shame on me If spirits could be visible, Not just a fallacy Your hex would be tangible But in reality? They haunt me? taunt me Am I just a victim of my insanity A final chapter in a tale That ends in tragedy Hexed Turned into a casualty Hexed A blessing or a travesty? Hexed Demon's within Hexed Crawling under my skin Kill me once, who's to blame? Kill me twice, I'm yours to claim Curse me once, shame on you Hex me twice, shame on me Hexed Turned into a casualty Hexed A blessing or a travesty? Hexed Demon's within Hexed Crawling under my skin Hexed 08. Relapse (The Nature Of My Crime) Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
Say you're hurting? but that's not where you're at
But then again who am I? to say a word about that Come again? Did you wanna ask something? Amen! I'm ready for judging Forget - I even said anything Better yet-turn around and start walking So I sleep on it 'til next morning Recurring dream so far from close This nightmare is not my first warning So on and on it goes Relapse once again drain out my peace of mind Too blind to witness the nature of my crime I remember sitting through this strife I didn't just meet you, I've known you my whole life You tell me - to grab a knife or a bottle Watch your life - travel by at full throttle I'm done - rackin' out my fried brain Just go away - you're nothing new, You're all the same You knew my story turn a page and read the signs They speak of relapse between selected lines Relapse once again drain out my peace of mind Too blind to witness the nature of my crime Relapse once again drain out my peace of mind Too blind to witness the nature of my crime The thought of turning back sends shivers down my spine Your delusions sure as hell were never mine You knew my story from the get go, read the signs They scream of relapse between selected lines 09. Say Never Look Back Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
Struggling to stay awake
Don't wanna take my chances (wake up!) Tossing and turning How am I supposed to block these voices Drifting off to sleep Count sheep, you're now in deep Whimper though you wanna shout No use, he's in, you're out One two three you're now in a dream Never look back, never look cos you're gonna crack Five six seven see the flood lights beam Down on you as you wanna scream Eight nine ten here we go again You can lie down, you can lie but you're gonna drown End of the games, your number is up... for now Wake up! Who said that? Am I awake? My eyes are shut Weary once again But was I out? What the hell was that all about? Where did All these scars come from Still warm? Blood on the sheets But was all real? I just don't wanna feel? One two three you're now in a dream Never look back, never look cos you're gonna crack Five six seven see the flood lights beam Down on you as you wanna scream Eight nine ten here we go again You can lie down, you can lie but you're gonna drown End of the games, your number is up...for now One two three you're now in a dream Never look back, never look cos you're gonna crack Five six seven see the flood lights beam Down on you as you wanna scream 10. Soon Departed Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
When your hands have been tied
From front, back and from side to side It's hard to see the shape of things to come And the past becomes undone No stars aligned to lead the blind When your future is already declined Lying, discarded Dying, soon departed Another morning it's hard to breathe Waking up so damn confined By these walls. Cut, bruised and left behind Another day and it hurts to burn Your candles at all ends No more looking and waiting for the godsends? You keep throwing away If that is the life you choose No circumstance can excuse Why you run when you've passed A dead end sign at long last The days are numbered you swear So you can start the countdown for all I care Keep on telling yourself there's nothing left to do Your story's weak and so are you Lying, discarded Dying, soon departed Another morning it's hard to breathe Waking up so damn confined By these walls. Cut, bruised and left behind Another day and it hurts to burn Your candles at all ends No more looking and waiting for the godsends? You keep throwing away Another morning it's hard to breathe Waking up so damn confined By these walls. Cut, bruised and left behind Another day and it hurts to burn Your candles at all ends No more looking and waiting for the godsends? You keep throwing away 11. Knuckleduster Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
Walls are closing in on me
Hear the clock ticking But time is standing still for me Used... or did you say abused? Makes no difference to me Can we agree to disagree? I would rather tune out Than open up my mind To be placed in your little faction No... pick another time Choose another day And a place if it's another interaction Roughed up, rundown Gave in to giving up You can take it out on me Cos I don't give a fuck! Hey! Did I ever ask you To step on my toes? Face the knuckleduster And you'll end up six feet under Thou shalt not kill is what they say But I swear we'll see the day To bring you down And you will end up six feet under Roughed up, rundown Gave in to giving up You can take it out on me Cos I don't give a fuck! Hey! Did I ever ask you To step on my toes? Face the knuckleduster And you'll end up six feet under Thou shalt not kill is what they say But I swear we'll see the day To bring you down And you will end up six feet under 12. I Worship Chaos Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
No peace of mind from quietude
Haunting nightmares follow thru The panic that lingers in my eye 'Til I rip shit up, make angels cry Comfort the silence sighing faintly My dark twisted secrets gravely Every night's the same The world is sleeping Yet my demons keep my creepin' Thru the cracks of my shattered mind So I stir up the chaos one more time Mayhem, wrath I claim thee mine And both the sun and moon will shine End of times Just kill the quietude Hear my cries And start the countdown Bury my crimes Somewhere deep within It's not that complicated Simply I just worship chaos Ya! Turmoil, terror I now conjure The hell in my head please do conquer So I throw down kickin' and screaming Lie flat on the ground discarded and bleedin' But the noise is gone and that's why I stir up the chaos one more time End of times Just kill the quietude Hear my cries And start the countdown Bury my crimes Somewhere deep within It's not that complicated Simply I just worship chaos 13. Morrigan Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
Holding the key to my darkened past
She's painted with my sins unsurpassed That'll live on to distend She's the story that'll never end And I choose her to take, carry my soul To fly away with me when all's said and done...but now she's gone I don't believe in faith The un-aquired love I refuse to let this cut me deeper Bound to make her mine Left to feel so numb Yesterday can't be undone But I'll mark these words with a blade that'll find you once again... Morrigan She's the conduit of my demise In a bewitching alluring disguise A six foot drop and a jet black sun Is all that's left with the things I've done...because she's gone' I don't believe in faith The un-aquired love I refuse to let this cut me deeper Bound to make her mine Left to feel so numb Yesterday can't be undone But I'll mark these words with a blade that'll find you once again... Morrigan I ache and I ache from the fall so steep I'm awake I'm awake from a twilight's sleep But I refuse to let this cut me deep I refuse to let this cut me deep I don't believe in faith The un-aquired love I refuse to let this cut me deeper Bound to make her mine Left to feel so numb Yesterday can't be undone But I'll mark these words with a blade that'll find you once again... Morrigan 14. Knuckleduster Music & lyrics by Alexi Laiho
