1. Body Count
Ten years ago today
You were locked away
Classified insane
Mentally deranged
What went through your mind
Something snapped inside
Deteriorate the will
Inborn need to kill
(Pre-Chorus)
Samhain - Season of the dead
Rise - Rise to live again
Hunt - Hunt you till the end
(Chorus)
No escape
No way out
Now a statistic
Body count
Nothing human still exists
The spill of blood you can't resist
Vengeful motive will not fail
A path of carnage is your trail
All those who cross your way
Won't live to see another fucking day
2. Enemy Within (Cycle Of Insanity)
Full moon starts to rise
Wolfsbane in the air
Evil stalks tonight
So you better beware
They say it's not human
Some sort of beast
Victim of a curse
Stay out of its reach
(Pre-Chorus)
If you value life
Don't call it superstitious
Transformation complete
It's nothing short of vicious
(Chorus)
Cycle of Insanity - Enemy Within (x3)
Howling by the bay
Moves on through the night
On you in seconds flat
Can't defend or fight
Strikes without warning
Doesn't seem to care
There's a full moon rising
So you better beware
It lives on mortal fear
Faith is cast aside
The light begins to fade
The moon begins to rise
Heed this warning or
Put it to the test
It'll still be killing
As you're laid to rest
3. Faith Against Faith
Chosen by the elders
Written so it shall be
One man stands alone
To face the wretched beast
Blessed with special powers
Those of second sight
Crusade against darkness
Led by the guiding light
Fall victim to his reign
Eternally you will die
Live amongst the dead
The sun shall never rise
(Pre-Chorus)
Cast no reflection
Prince of night
Hypnotic lifeless eyes
Instilling intense fright
No turning back
Within his grasp
Dominance begins
Soon you will submit
(Chorus)
Can you feel the presence
Of everlasting doom
Experience endless ability
Heir to a throne of immortality
Faith against faith
Alive as darkness prevails
Choose to live or die
Take my hand and follow
Abandon false belief
Taste the life blood
Feel the change within
Morbid exotic visions
A new life soon begins
At one with ancient darkness
Feel the rage inside
Ordained through his power
I shall never die
Face the master
Memories fade slowly away
Black heart filled with sorrow
Drifting further day by day
Reborn without life
Rear the light of day
Fear the light of day
Sleep in native soil
Until the time is right
Stalk beneath the shadows
Waiting for the chance to strike
4. Infected
5. Demise Of Humanity
WAR is over but not in my eyes
Scarred memory, waiting to rise
Long forgotten killing machine
Time grows short, resurrecting
My dream, perfected race
Created by my hand
Ruling the world by my every command!
(Pre-Chorus)
Symptoms fade
Life begins to drain
Slipping to dementia
Applying newborn pain
(Chorus)
Warped technology
Experimental surgery
Crimes against humanity
Life will never be the same
How much pain can you take (x2)
Gaze into my eyes
What do you see
Visions of death
By infectious disease
Strapped to the table
Waiting to die
Shattered Illusion
Can no longer deny
Try to escape torture extreme
Mouth sewn together
Emitting silent screams
How much pain can you take!
Inflicting pain, life slips away
Quest for domination, there's hell today
Demise of humanity will soon be here
Final solution end draws near
Revenge comes quick ever so sweet
There's no tomorrow... annihilation complete
6. Status Nine
7. Frozen Refuge
A cruel twist of fate
No cure, much too late
A parasite to bones and flesh
Sentence life to early end
No chance to sustain
Extending time another frame
A frozen vault to rest within
Re-animate to live again
(Chorus)
Suspended in an icy cage
My eyes have bled the tears of rage
Frozen refuge
Disregard the mortal ways
Unearthly bonds forever reign
Frozen refuge
Shades of grey transmit to black
Forgotten limbs cannot react
Stagnant being lost in time
Astral body flying high
Closed in by forbidden realms
Disembodied from this shell
Not until I am released
Will I find eternal peace
Time and space collide
Target destination arrives
Flashback before my eyes
Uncertainty where my future lies
8. A Fall From Grace
Lines well rehearsed
From a pedestal you preach
They're eagerly awaiting
Time to feed the sheep
Well open up your heart
He's watching from above
Don't you know by now?
Money equals love
(Chorus)
Shroud of temptation
Glorified disguise
Shroud of temptation
Keep feeding us lies
Lies Lies Lies
Toll free number
Call in and give
A phone call away
Cleanse out your sins
Man of the collar
Inspired by the dollar
Caught in the act
Cold busted at last
Broken vows for lust
Again betrays our trust
A mighty empire
Religious serenade
Cash flow hastens
Think you got it made
Truth now revealed
Exposed to be a fraud
Make money elsewhere
Not selling God
9. Altered Image
Scattered thoughts
No coordination
Deserted dreams
Distorted distractions
Haunting vision
Can't ignore
Slow mind rot
Opening new doors
(Chorus)
Laughter - drowning in a sea of mad laughter
Feeling you've lost your mind
Madness - an endless supply of madness
I feast on you and your kind
CHEMICAL - ABUSE - ADDICTION
Suicide
Cold sweat
Violent emotion
Black out
Vile hallucination
Ritual repeat misery
Euphoria - recession of sanity
10. Compelled By Fear
Welcome to my world
When you close your eyes
Reality is lost
As you drift to sleep
(Deep, deep sleep)
(Deep, deep sleep)
Tunnel vision eyes recede
Blind illusion cannot perceive
(Chorus)
Darkness - a cathedral of horror
Forbidden - land of no remorse
Escape - desperate to retaliate
Fear - fear - compelled by fear
Manipulate and control your mind
Cadaver eyes the first of many signs
Endless nightmares have kept me alive
Keep me alive
Welcome to my world
When you close your eyes
Reality is lost
As you drift to sleep
(Deep, deep sleep)
(Deep, deep sleep)
Up sweating
Soon regretting
That you ever went to sleep!
