Destruction - Born To Perish lyrics



Tracks



01. Born To Perish

We are natural born sinners, our life is full of temptation
We suppress our evil instincts with divine education

Phantoms and ghosts
Are our declared lords, gods and hosts
Creatures of fable
Can't manipulate the mortality table

Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy
Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy

Supreme leaders and demigods, our divine beings in control
Wield our agenda to oppress our rise - to avoid their downfall

Phantoms and ghosts
Are our declared lords, gods and hosts
Creatures of fable
Can't manipulate the mortality table

Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy
Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy

We live in diversity and in doubt
No matter how obscure day in and day out
We act against our common senses
We need to break down all those fences

In this twisted world of fake leaders
We face too many inhuman breeders
The own mind is a gift against all odds
Provoke the twilight of the gods!

Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy
Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy
Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy
Born to perish - we suffocate on our own faith
All that we cherish - we deny, we choke, we destroy

Born to Perish - we are all going to hell
Born to Perish - or purgatory

02. Inspired By Death

Endless is the pain when they go without a comeback
Mentally destroyed are the ones left without a track
Nothing is more evil than the silence brought by the reaper
The isolation makes you feel you are just the gatekeeper

Nothing is more brutal than a soul fading away
A punishment of life for the ones that are left to stay
Nothing can describe the soul torment that you suffer
When you realize that eternity is just a bluffer!

When the spirit - leaves the house
We mourn - we suffer - we grouse!

Inspired by Death - enjoy every breath
Reality means counting lost souls
Tragic like Macbeth
Inspired by Death - enjoy every breath
Reality means counting lost souls
Tragic like Macbeth

No goodbye or see you again simply rips your heart out
A traumatized soul wants to scream, stampede and shout
All the memories are grinding your conscience in endless pain
Our violative right to exist will just leave a bloodstain

When the spirit - leaves the house
We mourn - we suffer - we grouse!

Inspired by Death - enjoy every breath
Reality means counting lost souls
Tragic like Macbeth
Inspired by Death - enjoy every breath
Reality means counting lost souls
Tragic like Macbeth

It feels like a hydra cause the pain will never end
So let it go and enjoy every moment you did spend
Our appearance is too short so make it a real good one
Live it to the max - we only have this single fucking run

Inspired by Death - enjoy every breath
Reality means counting lost souls
Tragic like Macbeth
Inspired by Death - enjoy every breath
Reality means counting lost souls
Tragic like Macbeth - good night - sleep tight!

03. Betrayal

I love and respect
the life I did chose
Cause my youth was wrecked
many called be born to lose

Got mocked, they called me sleazy
My music was the solution
Cause it wasn't always easy
Digging Metal was my revolution

If you don't feel the vibe
You will never understand
Passion became a tripe
We created a bloody brand

Live with Betrayal - create your own destiny
Betrayal - fear the underdogs
Live with Betrayal - create your own destiny
Betrayal - fear the nighthawks

I had a serious aim
I'm not a slave of your system
I got something to claim
Never need your assistance

The dedication for the theme
Made me a soldier of rock
We created the extreme
While YOU end up in deadlock

If you don't feel the vibe
You will never understand
Passion became a tripe
We created a bloody brand

Live with Betrayal - create your own destiny
Betrayal - fear the underdogs
Live with Betrayal - create your own destiny
Betrayal - fear the nighthawks

Once insulted and suppressed
Now screaming for vengeance
Isn't this life just a test
Fail or high ascendance?

If you don't feel the vibe
You will never understand
Passion became a tripe
We created a bloody brand

Live with Betrayal - create your own destiny
Betrayal - fear the underdogs
Live with Betrayal - create your own destiny
Betrayal - fear the nighthawks
Betrayal

04. Rotten

I am more evil that Satan
Cause I am a selfish prick
I'm gonna suck your life-energy
Come trust me, don't be sceptic

I will take profit of your goodwill
I take satisfaction of your naivety
This is my twisted business plan
Thank you for joining me - run if you can!

Values do not matter - other dreams I do shatter
Only the ruthless are king - I am delighted to see suffering!
It makes me feel strong - to the winners I belong
Hell-come to my modern game, call me hero or call me insane!

Rotten - rotten to the core
Rotten - rotten to the core
Rotten to the core - Modern jungle - a cruel law
Rotten to the core - I am a Messiah with a mental chainsaw

Our system creates monsters
Watch me - I m gonna be the biggest one
Ruthless and cruel - second to none
Success is my heroin - just more deadly than H
After I ate your soul - yes I will rage!

Values do not matter - other dream I do shatter
Only the ruthless are king - I am delighted to see suffering!
It makes me feel strong - to the winners I belong
Hell-come to my modern game, call me hero or call me insane!

Rotten - rotten to the core
Rotten - rotten to the core
Rotten to the core - Modern jungle - a cruel law
Rotten to the core - I am a Messiah with a mental chainsaw

I am the master of stiches
Burning all, all the bridges
I am the bringer of pain
I am anything but humane

Why I became a beast?
It is me or you - ain't no love-feast
Society made me an achiever
That's why I wipe you out - disbeliever!

Rotten - rotten to the core
Rotten - rotten to the core
Rotten to the core - Modern jungle - a cruel law
Rotten to the core - I am a Messiah with a mental chainsaw
Rot

05. Filthy Wealth

Filthy!

The gift of a new born life it is so innocent
And in the same time so damned convenient
There is nothing evil in any new born soul
It is so real & pure unsullied and in control!

We create the beast
Start the blood-feast
Benefit from stealth - Filthy Wealth
Our greedy goal
Mankind in control
Risk your mental health - Filthy Wealth

We pretend to raise our kids in the most positive way
For real we educate sheep that fulfill the cliché
We built an empire of lies to damage the helpless the stranded
A business model backhanded

We create the beast
Start the blood-feast
Benefit from stealth - Filthy Wealth
Our greedy goal
Mankind in control
Risk your mental health - Filthy Wealth

Getting rich on others weakness
A business model supreme
What a wonderful ego trip
To destroy peoples dreams

Within livin' memories
We milked our working class
To gain immortal wealth
Like a snake in the grass

We create the beast
Start the blood-feast
Benefit from stealth - Filthy Wealth
Our greedy goal
Mankind in control
Risk your mental health - Filthy Wealth
We create the beast - Filthy Wealth
We start the fucking blood-feast
We create the beast - Filthy Wealth

06. Butchered For Life

Traumatized by life I realized
There is no way I can sympathize
With the soul stealers, fake healers

Fake acting sleazy cheaters
And broad grin wife beaters
Will not waste my time, in my prime

Life is too precious - to tolerate all the vicious
So those who offend - are running into a dead end
I learned to ignore - that is the highest score
They won't suck my brain - and I will remain sane

They're not my friends - I do not need a bloody Benz
Phony ass wannabees - sneaky and displeased

I wipe the scum of my screen
Let's bring back the guillotine

Monsters filled with envy - monsters that love to hate
Butchered, butchered for life, butchered for life
Monsters self-created - Monsters all frustrated
Butchered, butchered for life
Butchered, butchered for life

Some love to be ruled so many like to be fooled
I am a cautionary tale I will prevail
A society of grudge, all here to judge?

The ugly face of malice - they wanna be like Alice
Let's clean up this mess - be real and confess
The sincerest form of recognition - envy is their mission
They just love to hate - let's get this shit straight

They're not my friends - I do not need a bloody Benz
Phony ass wannabees - sneaky and displeased

I wipe the scum of my screen
Let's bring back the guillotine

Monsters filled with envy - monsters that love to hate
Butchered, butchered for life, butchered for life
Monsters self-created - Monsters all frustrated
Butchered, butchered for life
Butchered, butchered for life

Life is too precious - to tolerate all the vicious!

Monsters filled with envy - monsters that love to hate
Butchered, butchered for life, butchered for life
Monsters self-created - Monsters all frustrated
Butchered, butchered for life
Butchered, butchered for life

Monsters - don't trust anyone
Butchered, butchered for life, butchered for life
Monsters - wipe them out - wipe them out
Butchered, butchered for life
Butchered, butchered for life

07. Tyrants Of The Netherworld

Ice cold bastards are destroying our planet Earth
Who made them our leaders?
Who brought this bloody curse?

The system is bent to the core
Why is it the wrong we adore?

We're not in charge of our course of action
There's no more influence - just distraction

We've lost control of our order
Where is the line, the fuckin' border?

Tyrants - tyrants, tyrants of the Netherworld
Tyrants - tyrants - ignore the pain of the souls you hurt
Tyrants - tyrants, tyrants of the Netherworld!

The scared sheep seem to be an easy sacrifice
our lack of unity will sell this cosmos underprice

Power of man needs to win over matter
Or all our dreams will shatter!

Tyrants - tyrants, tyrants of the Netherworld
Tyrants - tyrants - ignore the pain of the souls you hurt
Tyrants - tyrants, tyrants of the Netherworld!

08. We Breed Evil

Give them freedom and you'll get war
Give them hell and they will adore
Give them trust and they will cheat
Forever this will repeat

Give them power and you are dead
Give them love and you'll regret
Give them creation and they will kill
Caught in the human-treadmill

Monsters of the daily grind
Looking for peace of mind
Grudge pokes the fire - the fire

We - we breed evil - we behave primeval
We force devolution
Hell-come to our Execution
Corruption is an abuse - entrusted power for misuse
We force the Devolution
Hell-come to our Execution

Give them peace - they scream for battle
Give them technology but they want apple
Give them wealth and they want more
Only the winner they adore

Monsters of the daily grind
Looking for peace of mind
Grudge pokes the fire - the fire

We - we breed evil - we behave primeval
We force devolution
Hell-come to our Execution
Corruption is an abuse - entrusted power for misuse
We force the Devolution
Hell-come to our Execution

Wake up - you world of slapstick
You really do make me sick
Wake up - world in pain
Or nothing will remain

We - we breed evil - we behave primeval
We force devolution
Hell-come to our Execution
Overpopulation from nation to nation
We force the Devolution
Hell-come to our Execution

Corruption is an abuse - entrusted power for misuse
Time for a revolution
Hell-come to our Execution

09. Fatal Flight 17

Flight 17

The sky was turning black on a nice sunny day
In the airspace of Ukraine - total disarray
Two brother countries have been divided by cruelty
A dark and dreadful day in human history

Why have the warnings been ignored?
Two hundred ninety-eight souls on board
Wiped out by a deadly misguided Buk missile
That brought us death and pain and an obscure trial

Fatal Flight 17 - death came unforeseen
Innocent lives pulverized - on Flight 17
Fatal Flight 17 - death came unforeseen
Endless dreams were shattered - on Flight 17

A barbaric attack against the human rights
In the line of fire alleged terrorists on both sides
A 32000 feet high brutal killing, with no offenders
Political leaders are just puppets & pretenders

Why have the warnings been ignored?
Two hundred ninety-eight souls on board
Wiped out by a deadly misguided Buk missile
That brought us death and pain and an obscure trial

Fatal Flight 17 - death came unforeseen
Innocent lives pulverized - on Flight 17
Fatal Flight 17 - death came unforeseen
Endless dreams were shattered - on Flight 17

Fatal Flight 17 - Fatal Flight 17

Vengeance or remission?
Innocence or deposition?
A tragedy beyond believe
The lost lives we can't retrieve, we can't retrieve

No justice for the ones left behind
They might never find peace of mind
The human soul is full of cruelty & war
It can't get enough - wants more and more

10. Ratcatcher

Why can't I accept the mainstream taste?
My own volition will not go to waste
What is the trigger of this phenomenon?
Repeating the brainwash over and over again?

Opium for the masses
Synthetic standard taste harasses
Emulation & the imitation effect
Wave of euphoria verses intellect

Ratcatcher - identity snatcher
Pioneers break the rules
The majority are just tools
Ratcatcher - identity snatcher
The human sense of belonging
Makes you a follower, a plaything!

The concept of aesthetics are
To adapt - customize and adjust
To stand out it needs guts and pride
But in anonymity they can hide

Opium for the masses
Synthetic standard taste harasses
Emulation & the imitation effect
Wave of euphoria verses intellect

Ratcatcher - identity snatcher
Pioneers break the rules
The majority are just tools
Ratcatcher - identity snatcher
The human sense of belonging
Makes you a follower, a plaything

When did I decide to go my own way?
What did really happen on that special day?
How did I wake up from this dull pursuit race?

Opium for the masses
Synthetic standard taste harasses
Emulation & the imitation effect
Wave of euphoria verses intellect!

Ratcatcher - identity snatcher
Pioneers break the rules
The majority are just tools
Ratcatcher - identity snatcher
The human sense of belonging
Makes you a follower, a plaything!

11. Hellbound

Ripping through the clouds at the speed of light
I'm gonna shoot him down if he gets in my sights

I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground
I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground

Now I'm closing in, he's got some dues to pay
I've got no thoughts of pity, his end is on his way

I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground
I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground

Now he's on my tail and there's a smile on his face
Half a second later and I'm wasted in space

I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground
I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground

No, no

I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground
I'm hellbound, spellbound
I'm shot down, heading for the ground...
