1.	The Lesser Of Two Evils 03:47	lyrics
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
2.	Monster 03:32	lyrics
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
3.	Beaten 03:52	lyrics
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..
4.	Dead Rest (Tears) 03:34	lyrics
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
5.	Rain 05:53	lyrics
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
6.	Secrets 05:56	lyrics
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
7.	Crack In The Sky 03:38	lyrics
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
8.	Watch The World Burn 04:01	lyrics
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)
9.	The More Things Change 03:34	lyrics
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?
10.	Drums Of War 05:01	lyrics
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
11.	Deadlock 04:07	lyrics
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
12.	Bag Of Bones 03:55	lyrics
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?
