The Lesser Of Two Evils
03:47
|
|

As night falls, the dark rise
The whispers blanket skies
You feel it, the yearning
In shadows flesh is burning
Desires, the splendor
The longing for surrender
You hear it, the calling
The shades comes closer,crawling
Caught between the rocks and the maelstrom
Is the even a choice?
Slowly drowning forever thirsty
Why even decide?
Forced too choose
between the lesser of two evils
Blood leaving, you hollow
Your choking, hard to swallow
It’s creeping, the terrors
Mumbles rife with errors.
Awaken, yet sleeping
Like mist, the thoughts are seeping
The turmoil, upsetting
The purging and bloodletting
Things will never be the same
Carry the burden and the blame
Caught between the rocks and the maelstrom
Was there ever a choice?
Slowly drowning forever thirsty
Why even decide?
Forced too choose
between the lesser of two evils
Forced too choose
between the lesser of two evils
Caught between the rocks and the maelstrom
Was there ever a choice?
Slowly drowning forever thirsty
Why even decide?
Forced too choose
between the lesser of two evils
Forced too choose
between the lesser of two evils

Monster

Step by step it’s closing in,
Inch by inch it will taste your sin.
You and me we will both succumb
This is something that we can’t overcome
Word by word it will draw you close,
Lie by lie blown by wings of crows.
Most of us will fall I fear,
When the darkness draws ever so near.
Say is there a way out of this
To believe that there’s truth, and lies we all shall dismiss.
But
These are the monsters
The instigators
Fire-starters
They walk here among us
Are we the monsters?
The perpetrators
The malignant
That walks here among us
Trust displaced, we´ll bleed you dry
Lost of faith, replaced by lie
We are the monsters
We are the cancer
Abominations
We walk here among us
Sip by sip from a poisoned cup,
Bit by bit it will tear you up.
It is hard to fight what we don't see
Raised with broken backs down on our knee?
Blow by blow the nails are driven deep into our mind
Our shame, our fears inside our souls confined.
But
These are the monsters
The instigators
Fire-starters
They walk here among us
Are we the monsters?
The perpetrators
The malignant
That walks here among us
Trust displaced, we´ll bleed you dry
Lost of faith, replaced by lie
We are the monsters
We are the cancer
Abominations
We walk here among us

We’re all just broken beaten scarred,
Well ain’t life to hard.
The things we try so hard to get,
The illusions of our needs.
But when we try to walk away,
we were never there at all.
We’re stuck in mud still sinking down,
We are drowning.
OOOOh ,
Always searching for something right out of the reach of our grasp
Always searching for something
We’re Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
We’re so tired of being..
Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
So tired of being..
Keep chasing pipe dreams in the haze,
The rabbit in the hat.
Complications of the wants,
the desires of the week.
And when we try to right the ship,
It is already to late.
We´re lost at sea not coming back,
We´re dying
OOOOh ,
Always searching for something right out of the reach of our grasp
Always looking for something else
We’re Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
We’re so tired of being..
Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
So tired of being..
Keep chasing pipe dreams in the haze,
The rabbit in the hat.
Complications of the wants,
the desires of the week.
And when we try to right the ship,
It is already to late.
We´re lost at sea not coming back,
We´re dying
OOOOh ,
Always searching for something right out of the reach of our grasp
Always looking for something else
We’re Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
We’re so tired of being..
Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
So tired of being..
We’re Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
We’re so tired of being..
Incomplete and destroyed
Not only broken
So tired of being..

Dead Rest (Tears)
03:34
|
|

Yeah, it takes so little to tip it over,
It just takes a little time
Before everything comes crumbling down
turning into ash.
Ooh, it takes so little to make it crack,
It just takes a little grit.
Then all the stuff we worked so hard for
just don’t mean a thing.
´Cause in the end we only carry our own grief
It’s time to let the memories be memories.
Let the dead rest
Let the tears dry
We are the living kind
Let the dead rest
Let the tears dry
We are the living kind
Yeah, we always try to grab it all
We just want more
And nothing seems to satisfy
the abysmal greed
Ooh, the boundaries are long since gone
Along with the sense.
With a hammer we smashed the glass
and broken all the seals.
And in the end we only carry our own grief
It’s time to let the memories be memories.
Let the dead rest
Let the tears dry
We are the living kind
Let the dead rest
Let the tears dry
We are the living kind
Let the dead rest
Let the tears dry
We are the living kind
Let the dead rest
Let the tears dry
We are the living kind

Devilman keeps on calling my name,
I get a ride on the rollercoaster.
Calling me a bragger doesn't see his own swagger,
makes me feel like he’s a boaster.
One time two times it is never enough,
I keep on getting thrown back on the ground
Smash me with a hammer punches feeling like rammer
and I’m going down hearing this sound.
You got no chance
Not a prayer in hell
You’re going down
In a river of blood
You’re gonna drown
I got hellhounds running all over my trail
I gotta run and wade in water.
Even if I’m tougher, make sure that i will suffer
Like a lamb that’s brought to slaughter.
Breaking my soul will never suffice,
I got to burn like a witch at the stake.
Grind my bones to ashes, flog my skin with lashes.
And I’m going down, knowing I’ll break.
I got no chance
Not a prayer in hell
I’m going down
In a river of blood
I’m gonna drown
As acid rain keeps coming down all over me
I stand on my knees over the abyss
And I’m falling, falling, falling
As acid rain keeps coming down all over me
I stand on my knees over the abyss
And I’m falling, falling, falling down
I’ve chaos raining down all over me
Let loose the dogs of war
Blinded by the lightning, I have lost no more fighting
10 and out I am down on the floor
Cover my eyes and put me in line
Make me dig a hole 6 feet in the dirt
Burn my corpse I’m rotten, leave no trace I am forgotten
There is nothing left, nothing to hurt.
I had no chance
Not a prayer in hell
I’m was going down
In a river of blood
Knowing I’ll drown
As acid rain keeps coming down all over me
I stand on my knees over the abyss
And I’m falling, falling, falling
As acid rain keeps coming down all over me
I stand on my knees over the abyss
And I’m falling, falling, falling down

Secrets
05:56
|
|

As we step into this world alone,
Empty shells of skin and bone.
The only thing that’s clear is that we fear.
Fill our lungs with air so cold
The vastness of it all behold.
Nothings written not anything at all.
An empty canvas, jars of paint
Try to draw something kind of quaint.
Filing nothing with something thats not there.
Open eyes to light so bright,
Everything so clear so white.
We’ll await our judgement as life is passing by.
But as time waits for no one.
It’s Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.
And life holds for no man
The hours run as steadily as they can
We are ships in stormy water
We are lambs brought to slaughter
We all are the secrets thats left behind
The painting’s getting clearer now,
We thank the artist, take a bow.
All of this came from a block of stone.
We lay our head down, time to rest
With beating heart still in our chest
All is written still not a word was said
But as time waits for no one.
It’s Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.
And life holds for no man
The hours run as steadily as they can
We are ships in stormy water
We are lambs brought to slaughter
We all are the secrets thats left behind
We are ships in stormy water
We are lambs brought to slaughter
We all are the secrets thats left behind
But as time waits for no one.
It’s Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.
And life holds for no man
The hours run as steadily as they can
We are ships in stormy water
We are lambs brought to slaughter
We all are the secrets thats left behind
We are ships in stormy water
We are lambs brought to slaughter
We all are the secrets thats left behind

Crack In The Sky
03:38
|
|
||
One day it just showed up,
And we stood watching, only watching.
No one said a word, not a single thing.
And we stood quiet, still just watching
The silence was always there
But subdued and we just didn't care
Now there’s a crack in the sky,
No one knows why.
But we are dying, slowly dying
There’s a crack in the sky,
And it’s a thorn in the eye
And we’re dying, slowly dying
The rift is getting bigger now
We turn a blind eye, keep pretending
Some say that it was always there
From the beginning, it was meant to be
The presence of pain was there
So constant that we just didn't care
Now there’s a crack in the sky,
No one knows why.
But we are dying, slowly dying
There’s a crack in the sky,
And it’s a thorn in the eye
And we’re dying, slowly dying
The sorrows was always there
It was too much so we just didn't care
Now there’s a crack in the sky,
No one knows why.
But we are dying, slowly dying
There’s a crack in the sky,
And it’s a thorn in the eye
And we’re dying, slowly dying

Watch The World Burn
04:01
|
|

Hammer in the last nail, keeping doors closed
Running all the distance, hold the pain at bay
Batten down the hatches, no way to be exposed
Move event horizon, miles and miles away.
Closer, it keeps on coming closer
Just throw a bomb in
Watch it detonate
Inside the shelter sit there and wait
Await retaliation
Await your turn
Behind the ramparts, you watch the world burn
Taken all the chances, own the spoils of war
No matter what the costs are, as long it’s not your own.
Blaming all around you, no shadow falls on you.
The lies they do not matter, you wear them as your shield.
Soldiers, they keep on inching closer.
Just throw a bomb in
Watch it detonate
Inside the shelter sit there and wait
Await retaliation
Await your turn
Behind the ramparts, you watch the world burn
Closer, it keeps on coming closer
Just throw a bomb in
Watch it detonate
Inside the shelter sit there and wait
Await retaliation
Await your turn
Behind the ramparts, you watch the world burn
(Just throw a bomb in)
(Just throw a bomb in)

The More Things Change
03:34
|
|
||
Crash and burn, twist every turn.
Got to let blood flow free.
Rip and tear, feel whats inside.
See what you want to see.
The things we do, just to make us feel.
Live the pain, to make things real.
Skinned to the bone, raw to the touch
Hard to take, it’s all too much.
If everything around me change,
then why should I?
And if it all just remains the same,
then why should I?
Smash and grab, take what you see
The hunger is all that you feel.
Crack the whip, the flesh getting stripped
Hear what you want to hear
All we are, is the embodied fear.
Living blight, to everything thats near.
The paranoid, the acolytes
Hard to take, just turn off the lights
If everything around me change,
then why should I?
And if it all just remains the same,
then why should I?
If everything around me change,
then why should I?
And if it all just remains the same,
then why should I?
Cut myself to the core just to see if I bleed
A quick lobotomy make the memories recede.
If everything around me change,
then why should I?
And if it all just remains the same,
then why should I?

Drums Of War
05:01
|
|

No stops, you keep on running till I tell you otherwise.
Keep on crawling, always with your eyes on the prize.
Up the hill, you are gunning for your next kill.
MY WORD MY LAW MY WILL
When you hear them, then you better run
When you feel them, then you better start to cry
This is the sound
The Drums Of War
Of raging fires
And burning death
This is the sound
The Drums Of War
Of raging fires
And burning death
You think I care, but if you fall I will not be there.
In the air, the bullets are your only prayer
Feed the machine and the gods with you blood sacrifice.
THEIR WORD THEIR LAW THEIR WILL.
When you hear them, then you better run
When you feel them, then you better start to cry
This is the sound
The Drums Of War
Of raging fires
And burning death
This is the sound
The Drums Of War
Of raging fires
And burning death
This is the sound
The Drums Of War
Of raging fires
And burning death
This is the sound
The Drums Of War
Of raging fires
And burning death

Deadlock
04:07
|
|

Lies, the poisoned truth
Weighs heavier than lead
Still we hold the strain on broken backs.
The writing, it’s up there on the wall
Words full of contempt
They serve as armor and our fear
Twist and turn the phrase pervert it to the core
Let implications be the virtue and the whore
We have reached an impasse
This is a dead-end street
We are in deadlock
We have reached an impasse
This is a dead-end street
We are in deadlock
Intent is the water down a drain
Washed away for good
But pain still lingers
The now is not always black or white
Still grey is not the shade
We hide behind the tapestry of time
Hate and burn ideas and nail them to a board
Crush all intentions let the plough become a sword
We have reached an impasse
This is a dead-end street
We are in deadlock
We have reached an impasse
This is a dead-end street
We are in deadlock
(Female voice: What we’ve got here is, failure ????? some man that just can’t reach)
We have reached an impasse
This is a dead-end street
We are in deadlock
We have reached an impasse
This is a dead-end street
We are in deadlock

Bag Of Bones
03:55

|

The things we do for pleasure
Why are we are willing to degrade ourself?
Is it never enough?
This is the race to extinction
It’s a competition we surely will win
When do we give up?
We programed to do the things we’ll never understand
Be in the race against all other
Will do same until we all are gone
Lost in space and time
Are we not just a Bag of Bones?
The countdown started to zero
From the time that we drew our first breath
Let’s reset the watch?
The toxic still is within us
Why do we still think that there’s a price at the end?
Will we ever learn?
We programed to do the things we’ll never understand
Be in the race against all other
Will do same until we all are gone
Lost in space and time
Are we not just a Bag of Bones?
We programed to do the things we’ll never understand
Be in the race against all other
Will do same until we all are gone
Lost in space and time
Are we not just a Bag of Bones?
