Stick the needle into pipes
Everflowing stream of lies
Deprivated to nothingness
Obedience to substance
With the vile intention
The death grip will control
Vanished from existence
Sink deep into this hole
Cease to exist!
Live life in a masquerade
Hide behind the lie you made
Stare through the mask to the darkest path
Without a motion, alone you stand
Viciousness breeds emptiness
Of a soul so powerless
Marching towards the flames
Onwards to a burning disgrace
Flowing in a lucid dream
Yet so high to see the real
Deprivated to nothingness
Obedience to substance
Live life in a masquerade
Hide behind the lie you made
Stare through the mask to the darkest path
Without a motion, alone you stand
Loosen the tourniquet
Remove the needle from the flesh
Feel the pupils dilate
In a place that desolates

Words of Valour
02:30
|

Once a fragile being
No sense of security
Set ablaze, this life
This force of change by my side
Mark against the world!
Determination - all this strength
Embrace the power I was given
I walk the path, now and forever
I’m the one leading the way
Like a mountain in a storm
I’ll stand my ground
Like a steel forged in the flames
I was made to last!
I’m nailed to the cross!
None but my own!
All against the odds
I’ll keep on pushing forward
Nothing in the hands of gods
Just me, myself and I
Mark against the world!
Words of valour keep me convicted
True to myself
This oath built to the core
Eternal pledge
Words of valour keep me convicted
True to myself
This oath built to the core
Eternal pledge
I’m nailed to the cross!
None but my own!

Fear driven by man’s creation
Overpowered by lunacy
War crimes that are committed
Crumbling down the society
Polluted minds of propaganda
Fake news on the TV screen
Smothered their freedom of speech
War goes on - no matter the cost!
The greed of his
New world order
The belief of his
Has lost all the clarity
No sense of mercy shown
Fire reigns from above
They are running away from their homes
Not knowing of a better tomorrow
Clouds coloured with the flames
The only light in this darkened place
Their fates are sealed
In this killing fields
The greed of his
Has lost all clarity
The belief of his
Self-made tyranny
Firestorms of devastation
His madness fuels the flames
Screams heard from a distance
His only vision is the end of days
Extinguish solution
That aimed for revolution
Devil’s false ascendancy
This endless brutality

Throne of Misery
03:35
|
|||
|
A malicious feeling
Is leading to suffering
Twisted in a form
My thoughts are filled with horror
This fear of emptiness surrounds me
When I am all alone
Forcing to hate myself
And everything,
Everything around me
This throne of misery
That I’ve been condemned
Place the crown on my head
And hail to the king of hollowness
Forcing to prove myself
That this void ain’t worth to dwell in
In this darkness that I've grown
With an ache I've always known
In this silence that's still haunting me
And I'm lost in this pain
So place the crown on my head
And let me fade away
In this darkness that I've grown
With an ache I've always known
In this silence that's still haunting me
This void of loneliness
Will I ever resurrect?
In this silence still surrounding me
This throne of misery
That I’ve been condemned
Place the crown on my head
And hail to the king of hollowness

Into Oblivion
03:20
|

On broken wings I try to fly
I’m going nowhere
There I struggle to stay on the sky
Inside the grey clouds in the air
Yet again I fall and crash down from the sky
Ready to crawl to my own grave
Nothing but a slave to my misery
The sunshine falls into oblivion
Of my memory
On broken wings I try to fly
I’m going nowhere
There I struggle to stay on the sky
Inside the grey clouds in the air
On broken wings I’ve tried to fly countless times
I’m still going nowhere
I’ve been struggling to fly to the paradise that can’t find
Inside the grey clouds in the air
I try to seek the paradise
Within myself
Blowing winds of damnation
Prevent me from flying again
Fly again!
Like scorching flames that burn
From the ashes I shall return
On broken wings I try to fly
I’m going nowhere
There I struggle to stay on the sky
Inside of the grey clouds in the air

We’re trapped by ignorance
Not willing to learn from the past mistakes
Boundless human stupidity grows
Pure obsession by the green machine
Hunger makes us crawl knee deep in mud
We’re struggling to find our way
To the end of the rainbow
In search of a pot full of gold
They make us follow
This illusion so blindly
Leaders programmed to destruct for profit
To build again this nationwide affliction
State of oppression
Weed out the weak
Beneath the gears of progression!
Dance of the marionettes
Cut down the strings and flee
Forget the symptoms of greed
Escape this stigmatized reality
To build again this nationwide affliction
State of oppression
Weed out the weak
Infectious negativity starts to culminate
Streets filled with faces of hate
Future of this decaying wasteland
Outgrowth of structural damage
Serpents tongue that feed
The poison among the rats
With the artificial needs
Waiting for this ivory tower to collapse

To Death
02:28
|
|||
|
Darkness within
A vision I once believed
Fall from the dream
Trapped in this spinning wheel
Inner fear consumes
Conscience shattered
Self-inflicted wounds
Shine beneath this gleaming moon
Sadness transcends!
Struggle remains!
Choke on my thoughts
Overshadowed by tragedy
Gazing in the dark
Sink deep into anxiety
Thoughts breed at night
My world keeps shattering
That final sunrise
I failed to see with my eyes
Absent of light!
My devotion dies!
The warmth I once felt
Now soaked in lament
So bitter I repent
And lay myself
To death!

Tied in Flesh and Blood
03:21
|
|||
|
Eternal sleep in agony
Eyes open wide
Erased from existence
Tied in flesh and blood
Sand runs through fingers
Trying to move my hands
Screaming from inside
Only left with a gasp
Am I really awake
Or in the crypts of mind
Paralyzed and trapped
Split between two entities
The undying will to save myself
Drifting deeper into dreams of unconsciousness
Cast aside from this dream
Barren mind with thoughts unclear
Watch these tangles unfold
As my body turns cold
Foundation shaking
Chains breaking
And I am sinking (sinking in)
Drifting deeper to my dreams of unconsciousness
Train of thought that forces me to move away
Falling through with the spirits, we move as one
Foreseen destiny drives to insanity
These scenes of reality
Eternal sleep with agony
Eyes open wide
Erased from existence
Tied in flesh and blood
Sand runs through fingers
Trying to move my hands
Screaming from inside
Only left with a gasp

Resonating Violence
03:20
|
|||
|
Nails hammered through the eyes
Holy guidance blinded by the lies
Peace driven by suffering
Drowning into sands of time
Religious agenda destroying lives
Worshipping this deadly war
Speaking in the name of the lord
On a mission to take the freedom
Children gathered around
Joined to infantry
Ordered to protect
Your worthless god!
Take the rights from the mothers
Shattered dreams of the daughters
Restrain their only hopes
Violence that resonates
Scavengers decimate
Slaughtering the lifes of the innocent
Violence that resonates
Scavengers decimate
Restrain their only hopes
Nails hammered through the eyes
Holy guidance, is blinded by…
By the lies!
Forced to live in fear
Without a chance
Manipulated by their sacred plan
Violence that resonates
Scavengers will decimate
Restrain their only hopes
Grand illusion guides
Their betrayed society
Heaven called the oblivion!
