1. ...The Storms Are Gathering
don´t waste your energy
invisible walls of suffering
you offer me eternal darkness
an inferno that never ends
let me be your dark angel
I will lick away your tears
I´m at your side in your darkest hours
to tell you truths you don´t want to hear
leave my way
the bitter taste of a painful life
burning in the flame you hold
there is no turning back
release your anger, you will not fail
no time to run and hide
...the storms are gathering
2. Cold Sweat
as I wander through this maze
of broken mirrors, broken glass
trickles of red blur my sight
my skin is torn by shards
the cuts go deeper than they seem
my shattered image on the wall
can´t feel the pain, my body is numb
so I go on with my aimless quest
don´t know what I am looking for.
don´t know why I am here
stumbling on the verge of sanity
one step away from free fall
I try to ignore my uselessness
the senselessness of it all
I fight hard against my inner self
the urge to make it all end
now I´m crawling on my knees
there´s the promise of salvation
in every fragment of glass, pointing at my wrist
I´m striving to escape- by any means...
3. Living The Pain
go on like that, cross my path
one more time and you will die
cross the line if you dare
feel my fury, feel my hate
you won´t live to tell - what I did to you
you won´t live to see - what will be left of you
I´ll rip open your face and crack your skull.
I will slit your wrists and skin you alive
mark my words, I´ll break your neck
just one more step and I will bury you
don´t push me too far, I´m about to explode
get out of my way or you are next
4. The Price Of Innocence
protest taken to the streets
turned them into battlegrounds
an attempt to reign what once was theirs
opposing countless threats
no hesitation in their onslaught
there is only one law
uncompromisingly taken to the extreme
now warlike violence reddens the morning haze
while boiling blood drowns all common sense
rats are fighting over the bones of the slain
the plague is weaving a shroud
to hide the innumerable dead
the moment is here, long awaited
strive for purification
innocence bought at the ultimate price
no one is innocent
5. Masters Of Chaos
we slaughtered god, we killed the devil
satan begged for mercy and god cried for help
angels fell to death, struck down by our claws
demons tried to hide, but could not flee their fate
we crushed dimensions, burned the worlds
time is just a word, we bend and twist reality
this is the end of the world as you know it
point a gun at your head- pull the trigger
we await you on the other side
join our ranks of immortal fame
and kill some gods with us
warriors of the void- nothing is holy
souls are worthless, we have no masters
time is just a word, we bend and twist reality
this is the end of the world as you know it
join us, join the immortal
we are the masters of chaos
we don´t need no leader
we don´t need a guiding light
we will march eternally
we will be the end

Lyrics:
...The Storms Are Gathering
don´t waste your energy
invisible walls of suffering
you offer me eternal darkness
an inferno that never ends
let me be your dark angel
I will lick away your tears
I´m at your side in your darkest hours
to tell you truths you don´t want to hear
leave my way
the bitter taste of a painful life
burning in the flame you hold
there is no turning back
release your anger, you will not fail
no time to run and hide
...the storms are gathering
(music by FOS, words by Rene)
Cold Sweat
as I wander through this maze
of broken mirrors, broken glass
trickles of red blur my sight
my skin is torn by shards
the cuts go deeper than they seem
my shattered image on the wall
can´t feel the pain, my body is numb
so I go on with my aimless quest
don´t know what I am looking for.
don´t know why I am here
stumbling on the verge of sanity
one step away from free fall
I try to ignore my uselessness
the senselessness of it all
I fight hard against my inner self
the urge to make it all end
now I´m crawling on my knees
there´s the promise of salvation
in every fragment of glass, pointing at my wrist
I´m striving to escape- by any means...
(music by FOS, words by Ulli)
Living The Pain
go on like that, cross my path
one more time and you will die
cross the line if you dare
feel my fury, feel my hate
you won´t live to tell - what I did to you
you won´t live to see - what will be left of you
I´ll rip open your face and crack your skull.
I will slit your wrists and skin you alive
mark my words, I´ll break your neck
just one more step and I will bury you
don´t push me too far, I´m about to explode
get out of my way or you are next
(music by FOS, words by Ulli)
The Price Of Innocence
protest taken to the streets
turned them into battlegrounds
an attempt to reign what once was theirs
opposing countless threats
no hesitation in their onslaught
there is only one law
uncompromisingly taken to the extreme
now warlike violence reddens the morning haze
while boiling blood drowns all common sense
rats are fighting over the bones of the slain
the plague is weaving a shroud
to hide the innumerable dead
the moment is here, long awaited
strive for purification
innocence bought at the ultimate price
no one is innocent
(music by FOS, words by Ulli)
Masters Of Chaos
we slaughtered god, we killed the devil
satan begged for mercy and god cried for help
angels fell to death, struck down by our claws
demons tried to hide, but could not flee their fate
we crushed dimensions, burned the worlds
time is just a word, we bend and twist reality
this is the end of the world as you know it
point a gun at your head- pull the trigger
we await you on the other side
join our ranks of immortal fame
and kill some gods with us
warriors of the void- nothing is holy
souls are worthless, we have no masters

we are the masters of chaos
we don´t need no leader
we don´t need a guiding light
we will march eternally
we will be the end
(music by FOS, words by Ulli)
Followed By Hell
illusions, fake, beautiful lies
we try to alter our reality- success denied
the urge to be special, to be the one
dashing towards the downward spiral
lights fade out, white turns to black
burn the bridges to common sense
the moment is now, why learn from the past
and after us? why waste a thought
that will be the future´s domain
today we are striving for our fall
but will we find it? find salvation?
everybody desires to die
but the biting pain is fleeing and hiding
in the end our fissured horizon will unleash
dark clouds of perverted stench
and pain will come upon all of us
and there will be pain and suffering
(we are) followed by hell
7. Holy Divinity
holy divinity
you kept my horizon
saved my light
but now I´m paying for my confidence
´cause you were intoxicated by your own beauty
didn´t mention your conversion to a lord of deception
and so i wish I could rip out your spine
I hope to feel the warm red running down my fingers
leaving soulless shreds of flesh
to spill out bloody food for worms
in my dreams you´re crippled by the knife
but now I´m awake and I feel I´m too weak for my bloodlust
and so I remain in my barbarous dreams of alteration
8. The Gift Of Fury
creeping hatred
a focus is found
instincts unleashed
purifying violence
relieving the burden
of common sense
slit a vein in darkness
and blood runs black
an unseen truth
never questioned
dripping down
feeding the earth
cathartic slaughter
channeled aggression
with devastating impact
too violent to handle
end of sub-conscious dreams
fulfillment of needs
9. Broken Doorways
strangled dusk- fallen time
earth saw the burning sky
through the eyes of the fallen
now a black gleaming veil of flies
has closed their wounds
nights with lungs full of smoke
the hard breath of the fleeing
when gunshots let the silence shatter
like a wet blanket, fear has enclosed their lives
the stifled screams of the wounded
hurt like needles
left behind to die
they watch their hopes disappear
fires quietly chew the dark
in silence ashes join the wind
blowing through broken doorways
10. Grey Man's Requiem
11. Casket Garden (Dismember cover)
Inherit the nightmares - can't put them to sleep
Rainstorm of chaos awaiting release
Speaking the truth - considered a crime
A world with murder on its mind
Believe; be deceived - a wound never closing
We're racing the rats - humanity's losing
Under the gun of a nation imploring
Machine infected system controlling
In the casket garden
Bonewhite, bloodred
In the casket garden
Dealing with the dead
The blaming days are over - too late
Falling into the arms of hate
Witness the execution of mind
Feeding another killing kind
In the casket garden
Bonewhite, bloodred
In the casket garden
Dealing with the dead
In the casket garden
Spiders in the web
In the casket garden
Just hate and tread
12. Electric Funeral (Black Sabbath cover)
Reflex in the sky warn you, you're gonna die
Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky, turns houses into sties
Turns people into clay, radiation, minds decay
Robot minds of robot slaves lead them to atomic graves
Plastic flowers, melting sun, fading moon falls upon
Dying world of radiation, victims of man's frustration
Burning globe of obscene fire like electric funeral pyre
Buildings crashing down to Earth's cracking ground
Rivers turn to mud, eyes melt into blood
Earth lies in deathbed, clouds cry for the dead
Tearing falling rain ease the burning pain
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
And so in the sky shines the electric eye
Supernatural king takes Earth under his wing
Heaven's golden chorus sings
Hell's angels flap their wings
Evil souls fall to Hell
Ever trapped in burning cell!
