1. Response
Follow the one
Breaking no "rules"
Joining the green
Or joining the blue
Second to none
Better than you
Best pedigree
And lowest IQ
Fingers starting to itch
Think of burning this witch
Brainwashed son of a bitch
I need the switch
No one will leave
This place alive
No one will ever
Feed on those lies
Useless and fat
Spit in your face
Die and then dogs
Will piss on your grave
Fingers starting to itch
Think of burning this witch
Brainwashed son of a bitch
We'll bring the switch
Fuck you
I won't follow you
2. Gone
Somewhere left in time far
Far away from now
Distant shores and places
Up above the clouds
Colors fade in darkness
Of oblivion
Still I feel them burning
In my eyes and soul
And as you touch the open sky
Memories inside begin to cry
As you recall your fear awakes
And then you scream
The Name in vain
Shapeless shapes - I see them
Figures with no face
Hazy looks and cold smiles
Lost without a trace
Layers flooding background
Stream of consciousness
They all pass before me
Into nothingness
And as you touch the open sky
Memories inside begin to die
As you recall your fear awakes
And then you scream
The Name in vain
Time is running out and I can see all fade away
The hourglass is the one who betrayed
I never wanted to be pulled down by this force
Now I must seek for the cause to retaliate
Nothingness is hunting me, it's slaughtering the lambs Erasing pages from unsaid book of life
Voracious, ruthless time is marching on and on
Will not take prisoners, the one - the invincible
3. Shortest
Coincidence or master plan
No matter what my time has come
The shortest straw was pulled for me
I will accept my destiny
The life is lost, all hope is gone
With no regrets I leave this hole
I know for some no better place
For others hell and endless pain
The lamb has failed for the first time
And for the last, forgot the light
I know it's how it's meant to be
Nothing has changed - just there's no me
I have no fear to face Charon
Your will is done, I stand alone
Immortal soul - most precious gift
The Hanged Man's curse and flames beneath
4. 33
Why is it now?
Why now not then?
Why all the moments keep on turning in despair?
Why am I here?
Why then not there?
Why all my dreams merge into one and flow this way?
Over your head
Nothing's the same
Even the skies and the blood red sunset far away
You follow your fear
You follow your hope
Blackness is fading into deep, so deep unknown
Your god won't save you
Your god won't break you
Your god will fail again this time
In a blink of an eye the world is changing
In a blink of an eye all fear is gone
Now it withers - your life - the one you've wasted
In a blink of an eye your time has come
No one before
And no one will
Ever be certain more than me that you are real
Is it above?
Or maybe below?
Where is your secret place to pull the strings of all?
Your god won't save you
Your god won't break you
Your god will fail again this time
In a blink of an eye the world is changing
In a blink of an eye all fear is gone
Now it withers - your life - the one you've wasted
In a blink of an eye your time has come
Offer me greed and offer wisdom
Offer denial, lust and pain
Now it's done for all time - I've crossed this river Styx or Rubicon - no return
Why is it now?
Why now not then?
Why all the moments keep on turning in despair?
Why am I here?
Why then not there?
Why all my dreams merge into one and flow YOUR way?
Your god won't save you
Your god won't break you
Your god will fail again this time
In a blink of an eye all fear is changing
In a blink of an eye the world is gone
Now it withers - your life - is it all wasted?
In a blink of an eye your time has come
Offer me greed and offer wisdom
Offer denial, lust and pain
Now it's done for all time - I've crossed this river Styx or Rubicon - no return
So I awake
I reach the highest highs
And the lowest lows of all times
I have never felt something like this before
The walls begin to cave in
And everything turns into nothing
Oh please God help me - I have never felt something like this before
5. Unconditional
Who's the one you need?
What would you believe?
Where's your guiding light
Through the dark of night?
Who's your guardian now?
Now and when you die
Die before you wake
Keep your soul to take
Thousands years before
Two or maybe more
Word made flesh to send
Hope to mortal men
Born of woman - son
Death and life in one
You shall know his name
Early the third day
Now and in the hour of death
In your darkest hour
Ready to devour
She's the one you need
When you wait and bleed
The only human heart
With no evil scar
The only human love
Unconditional
Now and in the hour of death
Now - in the hour of death
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grace
Le Seigneur est avec vous
Vous etes benie entre toutes les femmes
Et Jesus le fruit de vos entrailles est beni Sainte Marie,
mere de Dieu Priez pour nous pauvres pecheurs
Maintenent et a l'heure de notre mort
Amen
Now and in the hour of death
Now - in my hour of death
6. Human Machines
Naked navel pierced with gold
Silver shoes and hair in blond
Colored lenses, lashes armed
Plastic smile - my natural charm
Destroy the machines
Living only for today
I respect only myself
Counting banknotes
I don't care If I'm female or I'm male
Destroy the machines
Perverse intonation, naive innocence
Monotonous voices, artificial race
Word that have no meaning and that have no sense
Pornographic image, someone else's reinvented face
Cloning human monsters, word wide factory
Mass hypnotic control, modern slavery
Die… Desecration, defecation, death
7. the March of Elessar
I stand alone, here I walk on my own
No one will know ever my name to call
Deep in the forest where shadows wander
Reflecting of glory and lost ancient lands
Where I come from, what am I heading for
My secret thoughts can be touched by no one
Cover my face with and old traveling coat
Ghosts of the dead shall lead me to the throne
In a land with no king
And of man's broken dreams
Bow your head to the lord of the rings
With an army unseen He's dispersing your fear
Bow your head to the king of the kings
All of my life I've been running astray
Chasing, escaping, no alive on my way
Fearless and ageless, existence - death row
Doomsday is near - I am your final hope
Your final hope
Bow to me in praise of my madness
Pray to me - I will make you god size
Come to me - I'll sweeten your sadness
Devote to me - I'll scorn your religion
Bow to me in praise of my madness
Pray to me - I will make you god size
Come to me - I'll sweeten your sadness
Devote to me - I'll scorn your last sacrifice
King of the kings
8. Sad Remains of Man
Tear down the morning into the night
Silence approaches closely, crawls by your side
Scan the horizon, stand if you dare
There is no way to fight you on this very day
But sorrow remains and sorrow is back
And sorrow still stays and soI am back into your room
I'm back into your room
Picture the darkness above the hill
Is it your father crying or your free will?
Staring from distance I cannot see
Which of convicted are you - which one of three?
But sorrow remains and sorrow is back
And sorrow still stays and keeps you alive down in your tomb
Alive down in your tomb
But sorrow remains and sorrow is back
And sorrow still stays and keeps you awake
No matter how far, no matter how long
Oblivion won't take your undying soul
9. In a Silent Room
I'm lying in my room, there is silence around
You don't know how I tried to create
Something out this lack of essence at all
But nothingness is still holding strong It's not the way I am - it's all by accident
I'm stuck here all alone for so long For lifetime? - Maybe not, maybe earlier there was
A different thing, a name to be called
I wipe my brow
The sweat is red Is it my blood?
How long I'm dead?
So come into my place where hours sleep tight
And everything is silent and calm
No useless hesitation, no conscience, no end
Nothing ever bothers your fate
There is no one at all who can comprehend this
For ages it has been all the same with no change
So could it ever make any sense?
I wipe my face
The sweat is red It's only blood
I'm only dead
You don't exist
You never did
It would be too
Trivial, my dear
10. the Ultimate Incarnation
Time goes by and tomorrow comes
On and on while today has passed
I know it will change one moment into year
Waiting still - minutes disappear
Come at last - let it all be clear
I know you will - truth unfolds before me here
Ashes to dust
Into the void It, oh, came so fast
Desires to lust
Once has been - never will again
Remembrance - it bears only pain
Your miracle - maybe some day shall be done
Where are those who have lived before?
Rusty stones on forgotten shores
Your miracle will not happen, it's a lie
Ashes to dust Into the void
The dawning of day
And this is your last
Gravestone and rust
A blink of an eye
With no second chance
Ashes to dust
Day by day under silver shroud
I decline and I realize
My miracle will not happen, never come
Broken spine carries dark decay
Shameless mirror and paling flame
My miracle never had a chance to come
Ashes to dust Into the void
It, oh, came so fast
Desires to lust
Gravestone and rust
A blink of an eye
With no second chance
Ashes to dust
Your face is numb
Your lips are cold
Your eyes are blind
Wings are broken and denied
Your time has come
The hot winds blow
Your story ends
And it'll never start again
Your face is numb
Your lips are cold
Your eyes are blind
Wings are broken and denied
Your time has come
The hot winds blow
Your tale now ends
And it'll never start again
11. Afterlife
