1. The Swarm

Catch fire - just like a living disease
Unholy desire - a world on it's knees
Our burning minds they are ridden of hope
In a dreaming utopia - dead on dope

A generation of obscenities
We have lost our faith in our own
Creativity
What is evil, but good
Tortured by it's own hunger and thirst?

The living end
The dwarped soul of man
The living end

The sweetest of lies - it's embrace so warm
So void of life - one with the promised swarm
Our burning minds they are ridden of hope
In a dreaming utopia - dead on dope
A generation of obscenities
Our ignorance will be the end of humanity
A dead nation under one dead god

The living end
The dwarped soul of man
The living end

Written in napalm over genetic wastelands
We move on, our fate is to die by our own hand
A dead nation under one dead god
What is evil, buy good
Tortured by its own hunger and thirst?




2. Terminal Spirit Disease

Can you feel the pain I feel?
I've lost all sense of what is real
I'm lost, in a world I detest

Can you feel the pain I feel?
This wound I've got will never heal
I'm lost, in the serpents own nest

Oh - set me free - crucify life itself
And let your joy be the reality,
Our suffering life - the dream

Pain, the highest order
Scorching the inside of my skin
Terminal spirit disease
An itch of thirst twisting my tortured nerves

Kill the worm that is depression
Join the leeches of opression
Unrure - twisted - logic now die

Kill the worm that is depression
My fevered - circle of damnation
Consumed by this torment divine

Terminal spirit disease
Terminal spirit disease
Your souls condemned to sing of life
Must die to be set free




3. And the World Returned




4. Forever Blind

In this cell that is ours there is no pity
No sunrise on the cold plain that is our soul
No beckoning to a warm horizon
The sun shall never greet my eyes again

It is our world
It has been stolen from us, bastards

No goddamn sun
No goddamn pain
I've searched my heart for love
But all in vain
No goddamn sun, no goddamn pain

Exploring life without fear -
Without feeling I am one with
My torment and forever blind

My desire clenches itself in a hungry fist
And welcomes my soul to the thirst of dying
Mother of all, come take your revenge
The sun shall never greet my eyes again




5. The Fevered Circle

Each day a mournful pity
Life looks upon you with scorn
Hopes life, visions elude
As your feeble breath is torn

Six sinister thorns of beauty
The claws of the nondivine
Our right to breathe
Our right to bleed
Forever denied

What some seek in the depths of the unknown
Need not be sought so far
Concealed it lurks behind
The truth of what we are

Each day a fevered circle
Life looks upon you with scorn
Six sinister claws of darkness
Strip your flesh to the bone




6. The Beautiful Wound

My veins they are open
And yours to fill
The beast of my sins
Ain't easy to kill

Drowning in love, by bitterness warped
We sleep in different nights ugly and
Drugged, rotten to the core but I
Just can't let this die

My intellect bund
My will amputated
It's a sweet little need
Your need to be hated

Ugly, drugged and fevered
By Bitterness warped
Your beauty rages through my veins
Declaring war

Drowning in love, by bitterness warped
Stab your darkness into me
Ugly and drugged, rotten to the core
I see a truth you cannot see

As smooth as the skin
The skin of fire
I'm at the mercy of urges
You're my funeral dyre




7. All Life Ends (live)

My life fades
My visions dim
All that remains
Are memories
I remember a time of chaos
Time of war
As men began to feed on man
Only the scavengers survived
Gone now, swept away
For reasons long forgotten
Touched of a blase
Which engulfed them all
A firestorm of fear
The answer is written in their bones
All life ends
I remember an old man
Griping my wrist, he was dying
"Imagine", he said
"Looking into the eyes of a nova,
The bursting flames, the roar of it's energy
Frintly echoing down the corridors of time,
Whispering: all life ends
"Death, he said "is like a bolt of lightning,
Light cast upon every secret,
Just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades
And all is dark..."
Then he breathed out his last breath into my ear
His gaze already way out among the stars...
Among the ruins of the past
I shelter from the storm
My mind is numb from the lonliness
And the rain that never stops
This wasteland, once a beautiful place
Where trees and flowers grew
Where deer, and squirells had their home
Now rotting are their bones
Where raging waters grind the earth
I go to end my days
The sea that witnessed mankinds birth
Shall watch us die again
Black and deep,
Empty of life
As in the heaven so below
The sun has now forever set
And bids our time to go
I am tired
And i fear not
The cold that now descends
As light grows dim, I bid farewell
All life ends
I am leaving now, my body stiff
Just watching for a while
That rigid shell, so small and weak
A corpse on a broken cliff
The stars are calling me now
With distant, speechless voices
And caught by a wind I drift away
And nothing calls me to stay...
I am ridint the wind that has no name,
The fire that burns without a flame
Caught by the spell on which all depends,
All life ends
The answer is written in my bones,
All life ends




8. The Burning Darkness (live)

[Forever burn]

To see the wormhole in your eyes fall to earth
and plague my heavens black

With fear I kiss the burning darkness
Forever burn [, burn]

Leave not only me,
but every thought I think

[Leave not only me,
but every thought I think]

[With fear I kiss the burning darkness]
Forever burn [, burn]




9. Kingdom Gone (live)

God
Creator
Deciever, you are the sinner.
I cast you down from your throne of lies
And accuse you of a thousand sins
Perished in the flames of what you call Hell
I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever

A thousand Colours invade
All different, all dark
A black sun is now rising
Reality unfolds

Kingdom Gone

Absolute Spirit, we revolt against thee
We are the serpent gods, Wall spawned from you
I am the new messiah, and I will babtise you in sin
We wanted a place in your creation but you wouldn't let us
in

With one caress I draw the life from your flesh
With one stroke I render your bones to dust
Kingdom Gone

In the light of the black sun
The seas of starvation start to boil
A new dimension is born,
We die, we learn and are born again

Inverted we've lived our lives
From our death to our birth
Now the liers are awakening
We are the children of God's curse

With our caressyou greet the slaves of your creation
With one stroke you punish us for your sins
Kingdom Gone

The black gate is closed

Inverted we've lived our lives
From our death to our birth
Now the liers are awakening
We are the children of God's curse

I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever

A thousands different colours invade
All different, All dark
A black sun is now rising
Reality unfolds

Kingdom Gone
