1. Defeat
Wasting feeling breeding inside me
A shadow of something crawling behind me
And I´m pretending there´s nothing in there
But hearing those whispers makes me to believe
Here - I lay in my bed tasting bitter sweet
Smell - In my breathe reminding smell of death
Dreams - In my head slowly fade away
The end -Is nearby me and I want it to be
The king - Inside my head seducing me to betray
You - The only one making myself me
The loss - In my life great it will be
The game - Is taking me and the prize is defeat
Defeat
Inevitable, my destiny
Best friend I´ve ever met
Hands stretching up to reach the sky
Grobing for a lifehold a place to stay
Fingers are slipping and I´m falling down
Into the world I know the world of sadness
Room - In my heart empty as a well
Still - Waiting for the victory to take
In vain - I´ve lost this game before I´ve even born
Defeat - My destiny all I ever get
2. Bitter Metallic Side
And life goes on with harmony
Day after day those same routines
And lifetime filled with happiness
The most greatest joy
So great is the sea so small your boat
But you don´t know if you don´t row
And so great is the sky above your blue eyes
But you can´t see behind the lies
In the smallest crack of your life´s track
Is a chance for me to attack
Now the time is right for you to say
Your last goodbyes
Face yourself, your own dreams
I am your real demon hidden in your mind
I´ll show you my own world, I´ll take you down to the
Bitter metallic side
You´re lying next to me and you´re too good to me
And I think you know I can´t let you go
Bitter
But don´t throw away your last coin
I have to do this all my own
I only want you to know
I´m buried deep down in your soul
So great is the sea so small your boat
But you don´t know if you don´t row
And so great is the sky above your blue eyes
But you can´t see behind the lies
Face yourself, your own dreams
I am your real demon hidden in your mind
I´ll show you my own world, I´ll take you down to the
Bitter metallic side
3. Time Takes Us All
In every revolution there´s a man with a vision
He agitates and incites to follow his vocation
He speaks the golden words turns us against the system
Into the stand we rise him and make a low bow
Time takes us all - makes me wonder that who´ll need his call
Time takes us all - makes me wonder that who´ll need his words
We all have to hail the man behind the pain
Soon he will take all the control becomes a mindless dictator
And we just can´t believe he was the One
Under the protection of his faithful indoctination
He dominates and rules and distorts the truth
Time takes us all - makes me wonder that who´ll need his call
Time takes us all - makes me wonder that who´ll need his words
We all have to hail the man behind the pain
4. To the Gallows
Waken by the scream of a buzzard
Sending cold shivers down his back
Now across the barren desert gallops a horse
The only thing alive maintaining hope
soon the steps will slow and horse ends up dead
The rider´s hope now gone too tired to resist
The bonfires behind his back
The chasers wait for their last attack
The long arm of law has reached him
This time he cannot fight back
Now walking in procession hands around his back
Surrounded by the people who only want him dead In his eyes the look reminds he´s not ready to tap
Yesterday a hero now a victim of combat
In Judge´s eyes the look - you´re mine
To the gallows
Says the voice through the white hood
To the rope
Shouts the crowd around the dark hill
Now climbing the stairs with distress
Cannot feel hunger or fear of death
Defiance in his face he is standing
In front of the law he resisted
To the gallows
Says the voice through the white hood
To the rope
Shouts the crowd around the dark hill
5. Svieri Doroga
6. The Black Waltz
And she walks her way so treatled
Leads away from the bless she´s earned
Gone away the meaning
Before the day against the morning
Down the path of the blind souls she walks
Through the dreams of mystery
Tryin´ to reach the touch of human
Finds the way to the secret lands
Calling is guiding
Dazzling her instincts
Hymn of temptation keeps calling Makes her to believe the dream
She wants to lay to rest
And to take away her veil
Soon will feel the touch of the Taker And will see the eyes of the Caller
Can´t resist the feeling
Hand in hand they will fall into sleep
Dancing with me
Forever the black waltz
7. With Terminal Intensity
A child was born into this world
With great emotion he was loved
The evil seed slept in his body
Spreading its roots before the glory
The hell was risen when he was twelve
The squeeze of the trigger was a move he did well
So he killed his parents killed his friends
with black spirit he filled himself
Soon he was taken in custody
But the inner seed was so well-rooted
He needed more the evil doer
With terminal intensity operation was made
His ties were broken and the doors opened
With terminal intensity and hardened heart
Now walking among us a voice in his head
He has an agenda a secret mission
taking orders from higher levels
Fighting a battle for you and me
So we can live in our world of dreams
Tottering on the edge of the grave
Facing violence every day
Causes the new set of priorities
Kills with a pleasure every day
And the hindbrain behind will be safe
From the extra people to play his game
Wrapping himself up in mystery
With terminal intensity the plan was made
But there is no control in evils way
With terminal intensity all hell´s breaking loose
No-one can control how evil moves
Unestrained anger deep inside
Turns himself against the person of high
But will be killed in the name of law
And the voice in his head will be gone
8. Man of the King
Life - Black and white
Without the red in my eyes
Smile - toothless grin
Before the king is inside me
I want to believe to the power higher than we know
But the scene is getting darker in everything I own
So I will dive into dreamworld and clear everything
And the things getting brighter 'cause I am the man of the King
Life - Black and white
Without the red in my eyes
Smile - toothless grin
Before the king is inside me
You might say I´m nothing cause I get nothing done
But do not deny me I have the strength within
The people around you also follow the dream
Take a look I am not the only one of the King
Hey, now I´m saved
From the world today
I´ve found my way
To get away
End - it is nothing
Cause I have sworn my oath
Like the others
I believe to the powered dream
I don´t give a damn because I am the man of the King
The hell with the rest I am the man of the King
Right, Yeah, I am the man of the King
Simply the man of the King
9. The Groan of Wind
The groan of wind a hiding deadly disease
A killer that hides in the wind
And cannot be seen
A powerful enemy a threat that truly exists
By a hair hung our lives
We see that but we´re blind
Ever-transforming, reproductive, worldwide pandemic
Our time is running out
The clock is striking on
And in spite of our drugs
We´ll stay powerless
The groan of wind
A silent killing machine
There´s no place we can breathe
Deep down in our lungs symptom breeds
H5N1 Lethal time bomb
Maybe we have earned our urns
We cannot endlessly breed
Our scientific achievements
Nature simply will beat
The groan of wind a hiding deadly disease
10. Mindrust
In the eyes of the Watcher the gleam of flames
Reflecting pictures of the years gone by
Time makes no difference the sleep won´t come
And tomorrows daylight is hiding around
This lonely mind, eyes still awake
Taking a swig now and then
Poking the fire with the rod
Seeking the truth behind the blaze
Where lost all the glory days?
Vanity just remains in his own wishing well
Has learned to fear the fire of life
Has burned his hands so many times
In the shelter of smoke he is feeling home
Mindrust - watching the embers
Time passes his eyes in flow
Grand failure, betrayal, denial
The pain to swallow
Tarred waiting to burn
The glow stays until it fades
Dying weeping and slow
Before the rain comes falling
So the fire does not forever burn
And before the rain he has to learn
The lesson of life we all have to die
Ashes only stays under our names
If believed Kingdom come before all is gone
Is the chance to reborn who´ll need the fire?
Gives him protection from the outside world
11. One from the Stands
A condemned man in a prison cell charged with a crime he has done
He draws a picture on the wall a symbol of victory
He clothed peoples thoughts in words declared peace and liberty
The iron fist clenching his throat depriving humanity
A political prisoner a propagandistic weapon
Of the proletarian dictature against the other world
After he has been released
Got his name on the paper
A part of a macabre tradition
Released as a gift
And we´re all staring at the news
Nodding our heads in approval
We think that the the world is better now
Although he is already dead
A condemned man in a prison cell charged with a crime he has done
He draw a picture on the wall a symbol of victory
He clothed peoples thoughts in words declared peace and liberty
The iron fist clenching his throat depriving humanity
A political prisoner a propagandistic weapon
Of the proletarian dictature against the other world
We don´t give a damn
He is not one of us just one from the stands
And afterwards we have cleared ourselves
Justice has done
Soon another one will come declares peace and liberty
Speaks the words want to be heard words of alteration
But he will be arrested he will be condemned
But never mind there are more in the stands
