1. Icons Fall
"Those who still stood,
gazed on from afar as the might fell.
The statues of the gods broke asunder,
and all that was left,
were the dismembered carcasses,
and the wails that echoed within the empty halls.
This was the ascendance of a new breed,
that blackened the earth with it's foul design.
None could flee.
Death, was only the beginning..."
2. Weave a Web of Vanity
face the final failure
it's time to look truth into the eyes
feed the force inside
and reconstruct from the start
building up pure rage
a primitive state
watch your self-built empire rise and fall
psychotic insanity
the darkness inside of me
breathe fire
spit blasphemy
venom in my veins
spiders weave a web of vanity
die before bow down
kneel to wear the jesters crown
predictions turned out as said
waters flow upstream bloodred
self-inflicted pain
to cover up the shame
watch your self-built empire rise and fall
3. Without a Soul
like the morning star they rise
to haunt the aimless sheep
in search to tempt them into their lair
mesmeric fake facade
yet rotten to the core
the beast in search for the blood of repenting souls
lurk beneath the white shadows
preach the prophecy
the curse is set to raise tyranny
break the spell or suffer the loss
your world is upside down
like a servant
must obey
to live without a soul
integrity burnt at the stake
no choice, no cure, no life
silent screams of cacophony
peace ends in war
a war without guns fired
hypocrisy is your sanctity
4. Scars
senseless temptations fell into regrets
innocence i sought but fell into madness
constant search for perfect life ends up in misery
the inner-peace you sought made you lose your dignity
scars of sacrifice
the flames will not suffice
horror of it will be prevailed
i'm scarred for life
grab the handle and turn the knife
unearthly prize granted by the son of man
you drilled inside my brain and sucked all the mess out
the promise in the end i never had a doubt
constant passion towards the crown
the kingdom one's supposed to get
all the wisdom you gave
i never will forget
5. Killing Innocence
sadistic fatal choice now suffer the consequence
a wasted precious dream now witness it fall
sickness in gaining health
inject the antidote
bury the living dead
spread the plague
soft caress of steel, the words of the enemy
do what must be done, spit words of wit
massive hysteria follows you where you dwell
draging behind all hell from the bottomless pit
killing innocence inside me
killing innocence inside
infernal hate from this black heart
fall from grace
world torn apart
witness the melting bars around the gilded cage
to enter the solitude wrapped in barbed wire
invisible entity awaits in the oncoming night
at the break of dawn all is dead calm
6. Silence of Decades
screaming sounds of the northwind
you plan to head to the east
towards the den of deceased
tempting stench of the flesh
the galleon waits to set sail
your choise was to give up faith
for evermore
cold inside the warmth is building
silence of decades is free
last call
the icons fall
reveal a prophecy of pain
eerie cloak black cane
the guardian of the gate
last nail to end the wait
wallow in the carnal feast
paint the scenery black
you better watch your back
for evermore
the thin line is crossed
to make the masses aware
the substitute
a grim faced clone
the circle is no longer a part of this life
a sad clown with a wish to be saved once again
7. Maximize the Misery
swarming locusts summon around the symbol of eternal fire
we peel off our second skin
past as servants now in control they found a new way of life
vengeance is the only god
one try
deeds are causing mayhem
all in all
one world
no mistakes in their world
marvel the steps of the old
they will fool you, now it's time to...
maximise the misery,enjoy the pain, praise the monstrosities, make restless tame
maximise the misery, enjoy the pain, inflicted on parasites, make restless tame
lifeblood is all sucked dry
the blizzard made me blind
growing silence killing me
like thirsty vultures they gather around to manipulate their prey
morning will never come
8. Dead in Me
as you gaze in my eyes
tell me what do you see
do you see the real me
or just a false disguise
a hollow soul
dark and cold
penetrate this mask
and you'll see the dead in me
my mind is in collision course
with brutal sanity
it's rotten to the core
with no sign of humanity
driven by the need for a change
the more you choose to change
the more you stay the same
can you sense the dead in me
testify by screaming the truth in the hollow halls
can you hold your dignity
consequences of misanthropy
from fetus to eternity
counterparts will choke
trick without a treat
blessed by this hoax
start the cat-mouse chase
commence the deadly race
crucify me as human waste
9. The Discomfort of Artificial Euphoria
swallow the mellow comfort of artificial joy
inhale celestial fumes to exit the pain
manipulate your brain to handle your innerself
push aside your thoughts
suffocate your hate
something eating me inside
it drills my brain
the discomfort of artificial euphoria
mandatory way of life
the discomfort of being guided from ash to ash
with passing moments of delight
walk around the burning fields to avoid the flames
smell the stench of sulphur, hear the cries
a fraction of what used to be keeps twisting your mind
a cancer in your brain compells you to die
10. Filth
reputation to destroy the meek
chaos in order to hide the deceit
confrontation too much to endure
i defy you to do it to be pure
it came across the waters
and i filled my lungs with the bitter salt of the broken seas
you're so fuckin' vain
you think this hate's because of you
close your eyes and dive into the fountain of fools
where dreams end
and sins reveal all this filth
alienation of your worlds rat race
no cause for your foolish frantic pace
deportation from love into hate
as the crow flies towards an altered fate
11. Black Hearted Angel (Remorse)
crawl back to the comfort of your black womb
step inside the fortress of mayhem and doom
circled by trenches full of filth
catastrophic end as the last deed before your last breath
seize this moment and gaze into wishing well
white words spoken by the black hearted angel from hell
is it the devil that crawls deep inside you
a tumor that whispers the ultimate truth
tortured by dreams whilst awake
fractions of past and of memories untamed
twitching and gasping for air
falling deep in despair
unable to breathe
unwilling to speak
