1. Dead Since Birth
The inxtinct of survival sleeps in your brain
You cannot see anymore
The anesthesia has frosen your vains
There’s nothing you want to live for
The surgeon has already done his best
Just words: “He won’t be alive”
Just sudden death the eternal rest-
It’s great pleasure to die.
There’s no endless pain-the fear is gone
Lord Cancer lost its fight
Your soul is free now you’re alone
Immortal, you’ll never die!
The twilight world is greetin’ you now
A dark realm the eternal night
Join the dark, join this town
Remember the words “You won’t be alive”
Madness, my mortal sins
Feed the greed, feed the hate
Fire burns my skin
This pain I will never escape!
Tormence, in the pool of blood.
Who invented this killing machine?
My body is raped, my body is cut-
That’s the blame for my sins!
The twilight world is greetin’ me now
A dark realm, the eternal night
I’m joining this chain, joinig this town
I’m part of this dead, rotten mind!!!
2. Eternal Silence
I cannot sleep, I’m afraid my dreams
I lost my hope, but I found the fear
Praying alone-can you hear my screams?
Can you hear my voice, speaking somewhere near?
My best friend are my hateful enemies
My cold flat’s bleeding loneliness now
Only small pieces of my broken destiny
Are fallin’ into my mind, falling deeply down...
I knew the people, who’s loving me
But when I’ve needed the help, they’ve left me alone!
I knew the friendship so true and real
But when I’ve needed understanding - my friends have been gone!!!
Die! I must die... None is carrying about my life,
No reason to live-only madness and lie,
Just eternal silence in my mind.
Welcome to my blackened world
The endless circle of my morbid thoughts,
Silence is near, silence I’ve called -
And no need to live - my future is lost!
3. The Segments of my Life
Day is darker than night
Life is fading away...
Agony in my mind
I’m afraid the time, afraid the fate
Now she left me alone
Alone with my dismal thoughts
My love is dead, my feelings are gone
I’m looking like a live ghost
But her eyes are lookin’ at me
They’re telling about the feeling
The feeling so sweet, so strong
Calling the love - my broken love
Now I cannot sleep
I hear her steps behind the door
I cannot die, I cannot live
Tears are over - I can’t weep anymore
Dark in my eyes, silence in my ears
I hear her voice, I see her face
But there is none near...
Only the sorrow, only the pain.
Wait me - I’ll come to you in your dreams
I’m part of you, part of your reality
I’m part of your fear.
Now no need to cry, no need to ask, no need to swear
Just say goodbye -
Death is the price for your blame.
4. Shadows
The night falls, I’m left alone in my house
Only dismal rain knocks at the windows
There’s no anyone near-only silent shadows
The silent shadows are calling to me...
I’m listening to the singing of trees
I’m watching the dance of shadows
But there’s none, who believing me
That they are livin’ in my house. Shadows...
Left alone with my frayed destiny.
I’m slowly going insane...
I hear the voices behind the door
Concocted voices, but so real pain!
Candle burns... Time’s fading away,
And I see the emptiness in my life
They’re calling to me, I hear them everyday,
I hear their voices laughing at my cries!
Illusions and the fear
I cannot calm myself.
Only the voice, speaking from the past,
Sweet past that I have dwelt
Sometimes I remember my father
My childhood, my friends -
I feed the sorrow on my memories -
Sorrow, that will never end.
Left alone with my frayed destiny.
I’m slowly going insane...
I hear the voices behind the door
Concocted voices, but so real pain!
5. Jesus
Under the arches of the ancient church
I’m standing between the holy walls
I’m seeing the priest in front of the altar
Praying for our sinful souls
But can you hear his words, when you’re dying alone
Can you her the god, laughing at your naiveness
The church has forgot you - it needn’t you now
And you’ll die in your bed insulted and helpless
Praying for rescue-working so hard,
The blind religion - the faithful heart.
Asking Jesus to realise your sins.
Ok! Heaven awaits you - let the show begins!
Praying the icon, praying the doll
Funny stupidity or the naughty insanity
Bloody sacrifice for our god
That’s our church - blackened reality!
Welcome to fire-fair inquisition
Here’s the witch, raped by the priest
The witch tried to tell you the hidden truth,
Oh, that’s not a truth - that’s a pagan filth!!!
Praying for rescue-working so hard,
The blind religion - the faithful heart.
Asking Jesus to realise your sins.
Ok! Heaven awaits you - let the show begins!
Take our prayers, father; this victim is yours now
But the sorrow still remains
We know the truth
That’s not a truth, created by the god
That’s truth born in our minds
But the primal faith has taken our minds forever
And we’re a primitive sheep
Capable only for instinct life.
