Menschsein 05:04
lyrics

Blades kiss the flesh to shed this tainted skin Resecting the abomination Bitter taste of agony bears mercyful release Pain comes as salvation, vivisection extacy Twisting and turning and tearing the flesh Bending and breaking of bones If deliverance calls for death´s final embrace I welcome her ultimate sweet lethal kiss I fuel the flame to burn this twisted empty shell To rise from the ashes of this inhuman debris Illumination, shine your light on me This is heaven and hell Prowling underneath Enlightenment by agony breeds terror and delight No light without a shadow, no shadow without light Illumination Life fades away

Gallery Grotesque Peculiar faces They stare at me A nightmare travesty Of deviant deformity These dead eyes´ searing stares Burn scars into my mind Like sprawling cancer they grow Bizarre diverging flow Distorting, grim kaleidoscope The grotesque reflection of our false Is this all illusion Or is this evolution´s hand Altered reality Designed insanity The eerie answers Seem buried in the past Broken mirror reflections come to life Bent, absurd, silent masquerade Revealed, lucid mystery Distortions of reality revive Is there nothing left But an empty shell Never filled with truth Here is nothing left But the need to know To unearth the truth

Synthetic Pulse 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Running from my thoughts A fugitive in limbo Gazing at purgatory Ensnared by her glare The beast lies dozing at my feet Her arteries bleeding raving lights Casting torrents into the night I can feel her pulse Deep inside beneath my skin Echoes of synthetic laughter Pour from concrete chasms in the dark Resounding lunacy Abysmal imitation of life Neon lights cut the night sky Like razors cleave through flesh Haze flows through the alleys A silent ghost parade A foreboding shadow Rises deep within Inside unlife´s sprawling From her insidious heart

Medusa 06:09
lyrics
buy track
Blinded by the figment Of illusions and deceit Not seeing anything but What is pretended to see The flickering eyes of medusa Pictures are knocking you prone Mesmerized you stare At the strobe of seductive illusions Life seems unreal Nothing is clear You´re petrified by its eyes It pretends a fake reality, twisting you to be Deaf, numb and blind to your life Hanging on strings Not able to move Left to be viewless The lies that are spun around us Will be faded, eclipsed and Forgotten. Hidden is the core, entwined by myth And sheltered by a dark elite Domination is their covert purpose We´re all slaves To their system of anxiety Followed by a spirit-searing monster You´re petrified by its eyes It pretends a fake reality, twisting you to be Deaf, numb and blind to your life Hollow words buried the dead Inside yourself Inside the depths of sanity The system is all hollow words Feeding lies to the ignorant flock We´re commodities, controlled by and Watched through lidless eyes We have to rise And break the bond of the beast To walk on different paths To set our spirits free

Masquerade 04:35
lyrics

I put on the perfect smile like everyday Blue eyed devil with the looks Mesmerizing stare, serpentine lure I´m part of the game I came I saw I conquered you all A fiendish and ruthless pretender Your adversary My double-tongue lingo misleading a thousand minds Clandestine and secret seducer My poison in your Docile ears A play to keep your primitive minds engaged With staring into your Hollow tomorrow Safe and steady roaming through the hordes of simple fools A hooded nightmare walking among its prey A wolf among the sheep They´ll never see the construct behind the lies Hidden between the lies A fiendish and ruthless pretender Your adversary The great pied piper I lead - and you´ll follow Born from the grey, from the abyss of my dreams A twisted shadow comes to life The spark that lights my fire Ignites my lust, wreathes you in flames A burning born from deeper shades Down in my private hell The curtain falls, turn off the light for the masquerade Fake smile cast into position Greetings from your favorite sociopath This laugh´s for all of you All of you

I Am Pain 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I AM PAIN Night shines bright As I stalk the streets for my prey Bad dreams incarnate I´m the haunting made flesh Spawned from the night Of the darkness from deep inside Oh, how I love to hear you cry A serenade to my ear Oh, I can taste your fear I Indulge in your anguish Voices resounding from grey Hollow reflections of a lesser life Will soon turn to silent screams The snare is set, the air so tense One step from tightening the noose My heart´s aflame, blood runs cold Blazing with fevered passion A wicked smile cuts my face As I got you by your throat Close your eyes - and let the night Swallow you Angel - Demon - Man Angel - Demon - Beast Wicked and stained, I don´t care what you call me I´m an addict to pain and I hunt for the thrill

F.E.A.R 03:27
lyrics
buy track
The puppetmasters pull their strings And we dance at their will Unable to break free from bondage Assiduous they weave their web of baneful lies Twisting the truth with a razorblade smile They shackle you, they pin you down to the ground The stage is set Infected with subconscious fear The parasite keeps twisting and twirling A lie beyond belief - the truth no relief Too afraid to be free FEAR - construct without a face A menace to wake our childhood fears FEAR - foreboding shade without shape To shroud their sinister intents Infected with subconscious fear Fed with quiet anxiety You cower down in terror of the unknown As the cancer silently spreads

A Blaze Beyond The Night 06:05
lyrics
buy track
Pride, control, supremacy Domination is doctrine Disparity the antagonist A threat to the pure - a creeping menace Divided by a fire Fuelled by soil and filth Infected by the least Only the strong got the right to prevail Evoke the crimson Purgation, punishment We´re conjuring the cleansing firestorm Behold the flaring pyres Obliteration´s here You will vanish In a blaze beyond the night Inferior, superior, unnatural selection Who is the actual plague to our kind? Demonized by the prophets of hate Exorcised with blazing flames Divided by a fire Fuelled by fear and rage Infected with paranoia Only the strong got the right to prevail The world´s afire Silence burnt to ash The flames of hate grow higher and higher and higher Behold the glaring pyres Obliteration´s near We´ll all vanish In a blaze beyond the night All hail your natural successor Fear our unnatural oppressor Evolution´s precious gift To mankind

Distorting Mirror Madness 05:35
lyrics
buy track
Needles pierce through skin Liquid fire pouring Flooding my veins Burning down the system Living horror Crushing tide The world bends and turns in the blink of an eye Vivid nightmares seeping in Distorting Mirror Madness A dance on the brink of insanity Tearing my soul apart My soul apart Walls of reality Come crashing down Sanity withers Crumbling to dust Strobing reflections of pain and delight Twisting my mind Transcend... Ascend... A shade in a halo of night Reaching out Tearing me from the light I see a shadow standing Bound to the cold steel wall A cowering silhouette Alone Shaking with anguish, screaming in pain Frenzied and raging, laughing and crying A body bent and crooked Twitching from fever´s bite Dead-eyed madman crying As I offer salvation Hissing curses, singing praises Lunacy with a venomus grin Trembling with fear, shaking with rage Smiling thankfully

Aftermath 06:20
lyrics
buy track
As daylight wanes and dies Shadows rise to shroud the land Like peering fingers sprawling To feed upon the day Creatures come to life Awakened from their slumber By foreboding and unease Foreshadowing calamity Whilst one is cursed to be Unknowingly naive Unaware of what´s been done And what is going to be A faint and fragile light Rose from the black abyss To shine upon the ashes The ruins of humanity This blood upon my hands Will never wash away A metaphor for struggle A torch to light the way The tears that I have bled Burn scars into my mind They will never dry Never dry Never dry The end is near But do not fear For the death of darkness Bears the rebirth of light
