1. Never Ending Winter
2. Hellstorm
it never rains
unless it pours
catch your death
in the eternal storm
eternal storm
heavens open
the downfall
soaked to the skin
join the deathroll
sound the deathbell
hellstorm
climb aboard
the death wagon
you can't escape
the rain
hellstorm
3. Life Chain
recognise your chains
you create your own slavery
masters forge the locks but...
you give them the key
hoping your shackles rust in the rain
your just another link in the life chain
take control - life chain
recognise your own potential
break your bonds with your inner power
no amount of ties can hold you down
throw away your mask
take control - life chain
recognise your chains
take control of your life
rip the head from your tormentor
grind their bones to dust
life chain... RUST
take control - life chain
4. War Machine
a red dawn
turns to black
another day of..
the war machine...
MACHINE
waves of hate
crash against the shore
alone we swim in a
sea of war
a child falls and screams
under the weight of the war machine
now at last we are as one
although it means nothing anymore
master and begger die as one
the final chapter in the final
WAR
to this twisted world I leave nothing of worth
except my bones to litter this earth
in a land that has no sun, destroyed my home but who has
WON?
but who has won.. won?
5. Evilution
progress? one step backwards
look what we've done to our homes
evolved? regression, yes
we're now at full speed
and no one's in control
forward? technology bliss
but for all our knowledge
we know nothing
heading towards a total halt
the beginning of the end
has long since past
they came... and destroyed
progress? one step backwards
look what we've done to our homes
evolved? regression, yes
we're now at full speed
and no one's in control
6. Rise of the Serpent Men
the serpent men led the sect
to the catheral
falling over bodied of wars before
in the name of their master
MASTER
so they slayed and were slain
for the legacy of eternal life
blind to the church's profligacy
blind to their evil lies
LIES
the legacy of christ
handed down to surpress again
the insane pave the way
the rise of the serpent men
SERPENT MEN
7. The Final War
looked up at the sky for the last time
so much to learn, now I never will
we screamed out in anger at their stupidity
a million souls cry out as one
so they finally sent them on their way
cruising across the sky and...
LAND
the world exploded in my head
the life blood poured from my veins
arrival time... ZERO!
we lay to waste our world
now face to face with our exodus
we now curse our own apathy
much to late to defend
we're doomed to see our planets end
so they finally sent them on their way
cruising across the sky and...
LAND
the world exploded in my head
the life blood poured from my veins
arrival time... ZERO!
we lay to waste our world
OUR WORLD
the final war
8. Prophetic Believers Prepare
You'll never know what you have done
But I have all my life to take revenge
I have all my life to take revenge
You will
Never know
Never know
Never know
What you've done
9. Insanity Reigns Supreme
In a scene not mature enough for the ideals they hold
Your methods moan failure
Reality moaned failure
But still that's nothing new
We must raze the mental state
Insanity being our only future
I can't take life, it's too close, it's too real
It's too much for I can feel the insanity stilled
Contradicting itself with the truth is a lie
Which face of the face do I face?
We're mauled by subliminal greed
Again that's nothing new
But when intentions drip with pus
Deny forced unwanted conditioning
You can't take life, it's too close, it's too real
It's too much, can yoiu feel the insanity stilled?
Contradicting itself with the truth is a lie
Which face of the face do you face?
I once held the yardstick of another's perfection
I threw it down and carved my own
We can't take life, it's too close, it's too real
It's too much for we can feel the insanity stilled
Contradicting itself with the truth is a lie
Which face of the face do we face?
Who can take life if it's too close, too real
If it's too much - who can feel the insanity stilled?
If a contradiction with the truth is a lie?
Which face of the face can we face?
10. Hybrid Thought
Breathe
Bow down and die
The pinnacle of domination is now within reach
It's the proficient control of our minds that they seek
Their study of our instincts is beyond all comparison
From our ritual conformity to the 'dare' of fashion
When thought control by breath becomes the reality
Our 'paranoid' dictatorship will not be mere fantasy
And what if those thoughts, they won't leave your head?
Their thoughts in our breath - breathe in, they said
Breathing for fun? No breathing in death
Breathing for life, I breathe with the rest
The one thing we do together in breath
We breathe in each other the worst and the best
Breathe in our hopes, breathe in our tears
But what if they plan to force in your fears?
And what if we breathe in the will of another?
We now have no choice - wou breathe or we suffer
We suffer
I suffer
You suffer
11. Earth Really Victim
Love deception, affair correction
It must be - mutilated death
Deep inside feel the rage
Forgotten morality, you're not to blame
Twisted reality will help you through time
Forthcoming revenge - a friend you will find
To ease your pain, they both must die
Your act of death - your duty and mine
Their lives you find with death then severe
Now together they will be forever
Dead
12. Rhetorical Fusion
13. Prophetic Believers Act
(laughter)
14. Rancid Oracle?
Their forced conditioning, their slave imbalance
The all-seeing lie
Their dominant ego will embrace no other
The all-seeing lie
Their truth perversion and mass assertion
The all-seeing lie
Apparent to everyone and fooling no-one
Devoid of concern - we watch and learn
A lesson to all the fallen again fall
Blind from intangible dreams
Our hate is justified
Deny false expressions of tolerance
The isolation of self-expression means nothing now
Complexities fuse, insanity reigns supreme
Safe in its caress I laugh
The all-seeing lie
The mock you hold of me throws me into bliss
For the old must meet the new, the whole not partial view
Re-arrange your minds, redirect your fate
Live your new life
Madness now the guide
15. Calculated Mind Rape
When the stars escape their daytime coffins
The pace was fast, now it's a frenzy
Insanity casts a confident eye
Although the penny has dropped your riches lie uncounted
Progressive hybrid thought
I won't turn a blind eye
A robot is running amok
Its name is civilisation
Their predigested sensationalism
I vomit on your mental baby food
From the day you were born you must do as you're told
The craft and the shape of society's mould
When you emerge you look and think the same
All pathetic pawns in the government mind games
The pace was fast, now it's a frenzy
Insanity casts a confident eye
Although the penny has dropped your riches lie uncounted
Progressive hybrid thought
I won't turn a blind eye
Achieving mind orgasmic virility
Through your mental instability
Not even the toughest will survive
The calculated mind rape has just begun
16. Acknowledge The Confusion Master
