Faith and Control
03:39
|
|
||
faith and control swallow me whole
the circle still vicious, still craving, still cold
overwhelming greed
chains of infinity
hands of hunger, eyes of disease
stories unwritten, freedom forced to its knees
past, present and future - eternal conduct
mighty borders, reapers in suits
blood filled ocean - drown my pursuit
born a slave - history repeats
worlds colliding - gallow dance
vanished focus - no helping hands
trembling, stumbling, falling
all shall suffer
a fight i can not win
a war you can't conclude
and i won’t find peace in solitude
i won’t find peace in solitude
no peace in solitude
it hurts to see that nietzsche was wrong
we didn’t kill god
he was dead all along
you cannot kill what was dead all along
the snakes as bonds biting our tongues
swallow every word of what they took from me
the pigs aside with nothing to share
stare harsh and smile wide at pain and despair
the vultures fed on shame and grief
rest still on me, their future feast
the rats, prophets of decay
spreading their doctrine where hope is astray
eternal sheep to the wolf caressing in disguise
soothing knife at our throat while we’re forced to
demise
start losing faith cause your lord is switching
sides
feel the cold running through your empty eyes
start losing faith, abandon all you ever thought
real
start losing faith and let yourself be healed
it hurts to see that nietzsche was wrong
we didn’t kill god
he was dead all along
you cannot kill what was dead all along

Crosses and Gallows
03:47
|
|
||
when i’ve dug my grave I’ll drag you down with me
trap of existence, i was put here to rot
you’re afraid of the end
so you still keep your eyes shut
arms opened, eyes closed
the march of the blind
no heaven above us
no more prayers to hide behind
crosses and gallows look the same to me
holding on or hanging from - it's all the same to me
when i've dug my grave
i'll drag you down with me for good
nothing in this world for us to hold
wrath of humanity lies heavy on me
death by our side
fear its chokehold
trap of existence, i was born into your fangs
build me up - crush me down
i shook the devils hand
it got me nowhere
tricked by the lies
no hell below us, still demons to fight
when i've dug my grave
i'll drag you down with me for good
nothing in this world for us to hold
wrath of humanity lies heavy on me
death by our side
fear its chokehold
i see life passing me by
just an inch away from the grave
i never felt so alive like the time i was dealing with death
take your shovel, tuck me in
put me to sleep
take your shovel, tuck me in
put me to sleep down by the filthiest creek

Blind Delusion
03:41
|
|
||
paranoid you create your own reality
panic-stricken your mind grows bleak
rejecting guilt on a path of no resistance
cruel domination, essence of your existence
you search the truth in past days
the foundation of your rules is slipping away
wrapping your hands around freedom’s throat
by killing words you strive for control
an empire of rats obeys your throne
if they follow your truth they’ll be gone
fighting fire with fire and burning the ropes
for yours to sink and your realm overthrown
being under a blind delusion
feeds your tunnel vision
cruel domination, essence of your existence
sadistic drive, denying life
shaking death’s hands in silence

Martyrs
05:16
|
|
||
like an orphan i wander
stare at my lost mother’s wonder
you gave me relief and i cause you pain
is it dead faint or am i going insane
disconnected in space and far gone in time
i’m cast away in the whirlwinds of my mind
every step forward makes two steps back
is it dead faint in a world painted black
i envy the martyrs
a life for nothing, a death for it all
nobody hides in the sky
wherever i go i feel home and displaced
can any welcome give trust that remains
since time’s a river and i can’t seem to grasp
is it dead faint or just the shadow life casts
the way i was born leaves me with doubt and blame
i want to unlearn and start over again
liberation, my very last breath
i understand now, dead faint is the essence of death
i envy the martyrs
a life for nothing, a death for it all
nobody hides in the sky
the monuments, a failure
nothing left to take
all they reveal
the arrogance of meaning
the fear of being lost

Strangled Souls
03:51
|
|
||
strangled souls, all meaning scarred
in every destination another world falling apart
on what to cling to
when the abyss calls, when time runs fast
on a slowing pulse
is this the life to live or do we live to die
do i fear the truth when i embrace the lie
do these thoughts haunt me when i forever lie
free my soul, eternalize my sleep
wherever i die
bury me deep
on slippery grounds whispering to my ear
what i have to sacrifice are my deepest fears
i wished and i feared
yet what remains is but a thought
free my soul, eternalize my sleep
wherever i die
bury me deep
what is left for me to defend
the claw will slash, the tooth will rend
feel it lurking, the evil within
cut off the helping hands

Dust
04:08
|
|
||
every time you caught my loneliness
i found shelter in your crystalline arms
all these nights spend helpless, harmful
abusing myself
no spirits around, nothing secures
it's me against time waiting in vain
for nothing to prove
try to lock out the voices
try to drown them in sound
when they call for their duty
when there’s no one around
try to lock out the voices
try to drown them in sound
they’re always calling for their duty
there’s never anyone around
take control, guide me wrong
i've must been a fool to believe i’m strong
like a bird on the tree
it's the devil praising this endless song
away from conscience, away from faith
a path for wicked, a path to hate
fill my mind, ease my pain
dust, set me free from where it began
try to lock out the voices
try to drown them in sound
when they call for their duty
when there’s no one around
try to lock out the voices
try to drown them in sound
they’re always calling for their duty
there’s never anyone around
life falls apart
will i find my way
i'm losing touch, losing my face
in search for hope i fell off the track
i stare at the mirror and judgment stares back

Relics of Mind
02:57
|
|
||
shallow minds, tainted humanity
guide a planet, destroying eternity
a breath in the sand
a piss in the sea
wasting a world for paper and fees
life on the outside, an untouchable dream
reviews remaining
talk is cheap
try to find an answer
try to stop the greed
try to get out
out of the deep
imprisoned to my own fainted mind
told to act in time
decisions were made
when nothing holds true
relics to mind in a world without weight
i’m struggling to live in a world led by fools
breaking down what was built up for good
when everything becomes meaningless
in a world dubbed free
my pain, a piss in the sea
'life will go on' but will it for me
'life will go on' - why should it for me
shallow minds, tainted humanity
guide a planet, destroy eternity

Thousand Lines
02:39
|
|
||
kept between morals and the never ending drive
worlds keep carving in behind these eyes
in fear of self destruction
gasping for the breath of happier times
i will always walk between a thousand lines
no more me in myself, no light to shine
and what kills me keeps me alive
these snakes start snarling too silent
no more space for me in my mind
still an overgrowth hunger for witches
pushing wild behind the black of these blinds
in the forest of the long lost loved ones
there can’t be no sorrow when there is no soul
how could you think of holding hands so dearly
when there is no inside on the outside to show
stare into these eyes
and don’t see the dawn
keep begging for answers
only the snakes could know

Faces of Death
02:55
|
|
||
suffered from fate and born into hell
reality hits hard
deaf concrete knows well
high and mighty - eaten by fear
expired existence, blinded by greed
rotten planet - no one is afraid
death reaches out
all hope is fading
eternal disease
no one gets out, nothing relieves
army of slaves - trample me down
the abyss ahead, no way to hide
closer to the edge
iblis by my side
nervous systems
a beast ready to bite
faces of death caught me in dreams
shaped by the devil
dead eyes in the streets
faces of death soaked by my realm
blindfold me whole
dead eyes never see
omega is coming
an end to end it all
no way out
all shall fall
no justice, no peace for human disease
omega is coming
an end to end it all
no way out
all shall fall
