he who walks the battlefield with pride and courage
sent by god and his army of holy warriors
heavily armed
a burden too heavy to stand
the young fool sinks into the sand
to disinfect the worlds wounds
no one will be spared
to cleanse the world from you
this war was declared
torch of justice
white flag staked in
salute to it or be ceased
my light is all you will need
he who walks the battlefield with pride and courage
sent by god and his army of holy warriors
a mighty hero has come / to force-feed them
bread of peace and milk / from a poisoned tit
to disinfect the worlds wounds
no one will be spared
to cleanse the world from you
this war will be declared
and a thousand suns tear down the beast
that ascends to annihilate
to disinfect the worlds wounds
no one will be spared
to cleanse the world from you
this war will be declared

Racks Upon Racks
07:13

in my dreams I see racks upon racks
filled with humans racks upon racks
eager to be what they are taught to be
in silence they obey any command
I'm bound to vows never pronounced
do not bow to bow to their every will
I will not bleed for you
accept the things you do
this time I'll make you pay
for all you took from me
I wonder if this is the only escape
run away and sink into deaths embrace
We all have lost ourselves
To achieve a life of someone else
You believe you've seen the world, blindfolded
rotting in the prison you call home
How can you be proud of your life
When your life is a lie?
Born to become their slave
The masters show you how to breathe
and where your horizon ends
I wish the wind of old days would return
and prevent the world from moving
I know our hearts would again begin to burn
and save the world we live in
I will not bleed for you
accept the things you do
this time I'll make you pay
for all you took from me
In my thoughts, I stand alone, embattled against the order of things, elated by the intoxicating consciousness of our individual power.
I wonder if this is the only escape
run away and sink into deaths embrace
We all have lost ourselves
To achieve a life of someone else
You believe you've seen the world, blindfolded
rotting in the prison you call home
How can you be proud of your life
When your life is a lie?
Born to become their slave
The masters show you how to breathe
and where your horizon ends

Smell of Deceit

misguided once again
far away from truth
we follow our leader
fear controls our mind
distorted our senses
only rage keeps us together
too many wars we've seen
but we're strong in will to fight
it's time to end your lies
if only failure forces us to see
how blind we are
is this what ignites the fury in me?
this feels so familiar to me
no fear just scars
and wounds that will last
within our souls
following you
by the traces of the blood
the blood that you have shed
drown in the seas
that will surface truth
fire won't become snow
if only failure forces us to see
how blind we are
is this what ignites the fury in me?
this feels so familiar to me
the smell of deceit
fills my nose
bow to our anger
we'll show no fear
if only failure forces us to see
how blind we are
is this what ignites the fury in me?
this feels so familiar to me

Weltschmerz

I've come to an end in this world
the eternal majesty of space
conquered my heart without words
dimensions far from fast pace
frozen and blind to my fate
I reach for the stars
the flame inside of me, never to be tamed
beyond the beating of my heart
The apparition of this life
I failed to deal with, before my eyes
the explosion of all lies
and the only existing smile
cannot cope with this anymore
I feel the cold reach for my inner core
these wings take my to a greater life
the blue marble out of sight
frozen and blind to my fate
I reach for the stars
the flame inside of me, never to be tamed
beyond the beating of my heart
colors start to fade
I am the only existing law
there is no need for arms
his majesty consumes me raw
frozen and blind to my fate
I reach for the stars
the flame inside of me, never to be tamed
beyond the beating of my heart
cannot cope with this anymore
I feel the cold reach for my inner core

Defective God
05:52
|
|

Sins have blackened my eyes
Tarnished eyes once so bright
Unable to find you're broken
Senses cease the fighting
And hands that reach out
To tame the flames that forged us
We sailed beyond the skies
But the clouds couldn't hold my lies
Your pride is starving
How long will you
Stand the pain I've put you through
Taste every fruit that I face
Morals laid me to waste
Unable to hide my yearning
I give in to blackmail
as it quenches my thirst
my ambition consumes you
We sailed beyond the skies
But the clouds couldn't hold my lies
Your pride is starving
How long will you
Stand the pain I've put you through
You were the light to guide me
To enlighten my path
Sins strike my body like lightning
I'm slowly fading away
I'm slowly fading away
Looks can be deceiving
a flawless hero robbed you off your self respect
a face cleansed off all sins and desires
hides the evil grin

From Martyr To Murderer
06:48
|
|

You are not the first in line
to join the endless chain
So many centuries of travelling
have led to nowhere
The tumor grows inside us
It feeds from our guts
You pretend to only serve the one you
Used to call your god
But the verses are blurred inside
Your Bible words collide
Beneath the world of hope
Lies a life to cope ... with
Watching a halo fade to grey
and fall apart
can the population of the earth
be so blind
Blind devotion rots your brain
Prophets promise rain in times of fire
Invading our dreams mercilessly
before the night even starts
Crucifix that spreads disease
Will cause your life to cease
Baptized in the blood of your victims
Victims of manipulation
But the verses are blurred inside
Your Bible words collide
Beneath the world of hope
Lies a life to cope ... with
Watching a halo fade to grey
and fall apart
can the population of the earth
be so blind
You will suffer for their glory
if you don't contribute
The soul of a crusader within each
And every one of your prayers
Polluting minds, choking your will
Disciples starve for his glamour
Wrapped up in divine sermons
You walk straight into the trap
Every riot is suffocated
Our cutups equal blasphemy
It's not a giant leap
From martyr to murderer
Watching a halo fade to grey
and fall apart
can the population of the earth
be so blind
