1. Near Dark
1) Humanity is under siege
And we don't stand a chance
An entity untouched
By love, hate of pain
Brave new world
Cold and clear
2) Miles away you feel it's pulse
You don't want to know what it's
While the dark closes in
Lead solo: Hermann, Classen
3) When the shockwaves hit the flesh
You feel death by your side
Shining bright for all to see
The new machine
Lead solo: Hermann
2. Defcon II
1) High Ragid Features
And fust a shask
The politicians worst nightmare
No talking speaches, but talking was
Def Con II, but don't despalz
We got the weapons, we got the buts
And there are satery regulations
So don't you wormy
It will be childs play
To save the west's united nations
Def Con II, we're talking you
Def Con II, the rockets roodaarr!
2) They're using shells
They're using bombs
Blozing rockets fire power
Pulling trigger
The soldiers sense
The giants urge to devour
The got it clear
In their sights
The new keeps moving forward
Them
They have to face it
The chilling truth
All their efforts all in vein
Def Con II, we're ...
Lead solo: Hermann
3) The Politician
Is turning white
He watched it all from the distance
The last decision
Is taken from him
Human technology is useless
And now the giants
Emithing shockwaves
They feed convulsions in their hearts
And their blood
Begins to boil
The pressures
In their lemts
3. Panic
1) Running past the gurning ears
Everyone is crazy
Crying of a new born child
Whose mother has been crushed
Suffocating clouds of smoke
Over smoldering remains
Blackening the blood red sky
Looking like a wild new land
We don't abide the law
No more abide the law
2) The could see it in the news
A giant is approaching
People can't believe it's real
Judgement day is here
You can almost smell the fear
Repressing shane and reason
Violence is breaking out
Order is destroyed
We don't ...
Lead solo: Hermann
3) Class is crashing sirens wail
Defending the senses
Someone grads a riot gun
No one hears the shot
If it's war
Or not
Human natures dark side
Revealed at lost
We don't ...
4. Strange Deception
1) He's got blood shot eyes
Skin like wax
He's malding them like clay
Twisting their souls
Aimed and giting deep
Voracious
Fragile minds
He rips them apart
He faints their conscience
We are more than just conditiened apes
He breakes the proud one's will
Now we've got the chance to break our chains
He stools their purpose
We are more so face the fucking truth
You're just machines
He's in service
Of something strange
Something untomed
That won't be denied
Reaping health
He stirs the crowd
Making them believe
His prophecy
2) That's folic you've machines
Nothing but fucking machines
You can't be anything, but what you are
And that's a goddamned machines
You are a goddamned machines
He faints their ...
He's in service
You are machines
You've done if you don't get into it
5. Lucky Popster
A mummified voice behind the veil
A distant sound that still reminds me
Of churchbells mourning my success
I want to leave this world behind me
Feeling lonely and confused
I am losing my grip on reality
Can you see me I am sure you don't
My mind's protected from your sanity
Face of a jerk
Eyes of a jerk
Face of a jerk
Can't sleep at night or in the day
'Cos I created something dreadful
A juggernaut that haunts my dreams
Gave life to something that will end it all
Right now I am Drawn into the void
You see I am beyond redemption
This hybrid god that I called forth
It's a sin against creation
Face of a jerk
Eyes of a jerk
Face of a jerk
Can't sleep at night or in the day
'Cos I created something dreadful
A juggernaut that haunts my dreams
Gave life to something that will end it all
Right now I am Drawn into the void
You see I am beyond redemption
This hybrid god that I called forth
It's a sin against creation
6. SSP (Secret Service Project)
A blinding flash of light
A cry of pain and agony
People search for medicine
No sense in moving underground
Bodies burn and turn to ash
There's no cure to ease the pain
Shining bright for all to see
The new machine
SSP it's not nuclear
SSP it's bigger than before
SSp it's a power of another kind
SSP it's a giant of technology
It's a new kind of machine
impossible to stop
Made of living circuitry
It grows up more and more
It's skeleton keeps changing shape
Mad metal grinding bone
Raw energy runs through its veins
Expanding from the core
SSP it's not nuclear
SSP it's bigger than before
SSp it's a power of another kind
SSP it's a giant of technology
You've been in fear of missiles
You've been in fear of A-bombs
There's been no nuclear holocaust
But the new machine of Liechtenstein
A blinding flash of light
A cry of pain and agony
People search for medicine
No sense in moving underground
Bodies burn and turn to ash
There's no cure to ease the pain
Shining bright for all to see
The new machine
7. State : Catatonic
Everything is proceeding nicely
The fools don't realize what they're working on
They don't see my potential
The Potential for unprecedented destructive power
It's first glimpse
See a scientist
Sleazy men
They all look alike
A clean room
cold light
Wearing specs
But they're blind
Confident that it will work
You'll wake up mad
Confident that it will work
You'll wake up mad
One futile attempt
To grasp and comprehend
The unbelievable
The megaforce
Their minds go blank
But it's no use
Too much input
Catatonic state
Confident that it will work
You'll wake up mad
Confident that it will work
You'll wake up mad
It's first glimpse
See a scientist
Sleazy men
They all look alike
A clean room
cold light
Wearing specs
But they're blind
8. The Brood
Now it's infecting you
Just like a plague
Your body is transformed
Before it's drained
Sucking life energy
From every cell
And your remains
An empty shell
The slightest touch
Will trigger this effect
So it's your own fault
You came to close
Life is lost to the brood
They hide in lonely places
In backyards
At night they come alive
Glow in the dark
It got you curious
This strange device
It was attracting you
You paid the price
So there is more to them
Than meets the eye
And you will never know
The reason why
Life is lost to the brood
Life absorbed by force
The hide in lonely places
In backyards
At night they come alive
Glow in the dark
It got you curious
This strange device
It was attracting you
You paid the price
So there is more to them
Than meets the eye
And you will never know
The reason why
9. Lost in the Maze
The darkness moves
Flickering lights
The faint impression that it's watching us
But are we safe
It might sneak past
The shattered windshield of this bus
A new machine
Has come to purge
The planet earth of human pest
It's evil force
Is irresistable
The lord of lies performs his final jest
The ghoul of time it's creeping lace
Is stretching fear to infinity
'Til sudden death
With childlike ease
Will free us fools from this insanity
Lost in the maze
Of this new continent
I see no reason to endure my wrath
The endless cave
That wreaks my mind
Rightful successor of the human race
Come take my hand
Unleash my soul
To let it sink into oblivion
'Cos more or less
I lost my faith
Ain't got the will to carry on
Lost in the maze
Of this new continent
I see no reason to endure my wrath
The endless cave
That wreaks my mind
Rightful successor of the human race
Come take my hand
Unleash my soul
To let it sink into oblivion
'Cos more or less
I lost my faith
Ain't got the will to carry on
