1. Intro
2. Freakshow 666
I am he, the strange one
i´ve been marked for life when i was born
frightening, disgusting
i punish the world with my appearance
i´m the monster
i am here inside my cage
waiting for the show of tragedy
i am strong, i will escape
i will take revenge on my tormentors
hatred´s rising
welcome to the freakshow 666
of evil creatures
welcome to the freakshow 666
that´s entertainment
i wish i was aborted
will you ever see that i am human
i´m a beast, (a) deformity
i´m the two-faced man to make your flesh creep
a sensation
four eyes, a second mouth
i´m the biggest fault of mother nature
no rights, left for me
i´m a serf and a slave to my destiny
i´m abandoned
welcome to the freakshow 666
of evil creatures
welcome to the freakshow 666
that´s entertainment
you hate me, spit on me
you say i´m the scourge of mankind
you all fear the unknown
now it´s time for a lesson in pain
the act of vengeance
rebellion, bloodbath
the revolt of the creatures is rising
remorseless massacre
pure slaughter, unbelievable horror
total cruelty
welcome to the freakshow 666
of evil creatures
welcome to the freakshow 666
that´s entertainment
3. Teutonic Death
screams in the arena, two thousand years ago
breathe in the atmosphere and the clouds of dust
he´s blinking at the sun, there he stands alone
(you) gotta fear him, the gladiator, he´s there to win
warrior, warrior, show your face
your scarred face to the world
superhero, they´ll never bring you down
you´re a slave to the roman empire
full of pride in contempt of death
teutonic giant, pure death machine
teutonic master, praise the gods
hail to the emperor, there upon his throne
armoured legionairies now open the gates
hordes of roaring warriors, all doomed to failure
fanfares prepare them for their final fight
warrior, warrior, observed by
tenthousand pairs of eyes
he swings the axe and a sword of steel
waterfalls of blood are flowing
to the ground and mixing with sand
teutonic giant, pure death machine
teutonic master, praise the gods
warrior, warrior, a shield of hate
will always keep you save
the dust descends, a single man´s alive
he´s earned the right to live another few days
in the circus maximus
teutonic giant, pure death machine
teutonic master, praise the gods
4. Fairytale
In the forest, in the wilderness
a little cottage, on a clearing
light-proof windows, a rotten door
creepy dark rooms, hold a secret,
there he lives, an old man
years of sorrow and loneliness
his face is pale, grey and folded
his hair is long and white as snow
he hates you, he takes you, mistreats you
his madness, infects you, destroys you
he talks to spiders and spleeps with angels
dances at midnight and feeds the wolves
civilisation lost a son
he´s grown wild, bewilderbeast
deplorable people, lost their way
the madman´s home, sealed their fate
noone knows, what he´s done
a pile of bones, a cruel suspicion
he hates you, he takes you, mistreats you
his madness, infects you, destroys you
he´s banished from the sunlight, to scrape a living
in sinful harmony with mother nature
he´s banished from the sunlight, to scrape a living
in sinful harmony with mother nature
there he lives, an old man
years of sorrow and loneliness
his face is pale, grey and folded
his hair is long and white as snow
he talks to spiders and spleeps with angels
dances at midnight and feeds the wolves
civilisation lost a son
he´s grown wild, bewilderbeast
he hates you, he takes you, mistreats you
his madness, infects you, destroys you
he´s banished from the sunlight, to scrape a living
in sinful harmony with mother nature
5. Black Gallows
in the setting sun it stands alone
like a majestic throne
the ancient gallows painted black
the gallows that once broke my neck
accused of evil sorcery
condemned to die in agony
beneath my feet i saw the crowd
the people roared aloud
i curse you all
your stars will fall
i will return
your souls shall burn
the hangman came and whipped my back
he laid the rope around my neck
in view of death, a magic spell
the hollow sound of the demon bell
i cursed this place
before i died
they won`t forget
this evil night
execution, suffocation, the rope of death
termination, strangulation, a strangled breath
i clench my fist
i will subsist
spectators died
no god in sight
execution, suffocation, the rope of death
termination, strangulation, a strangled breath
rise...rise...rise...black gallows
6. Gharbiyah
I tell you a story, from horrible times
of primitive instincts and bloody revenge
in the desert, in the sand
ancient wargods, unholy ghosts
fourthousand years of terror
noone dares to speak their name
the merciless chasers
of the unbelievers
missing people, lost forever
long forgotten, crying souls
in the sands of Al Gharbiyah
lies the darkest of all mysteries
in the shadow of Anubis
lies a fatal attraction
deep within the eye of Horus
the reflection of your death
don´t breathe a word, when you´re searching
for your roots, you will find demons
fourthousand years of terror
noone dares to speak their name
the merciless chasers
of the unbelievers
remember the warning, withstand your instincts
beware of the voices, hypnotising you
in the sands of Al Gharbiyah
lies the darkest of all mysteries
by the calling of Osiris
you´ll be paralysed with fear
may this prophecy protect you
from the bloody hands of Seth
in the sands of Al Gharbiyah
lies the darkest of all mysteries
in the shadow of Anubis
lies a fatal attraction
deep within the eye of Horus
the reflection of your death
7. Hordes of Twilight
we´re back, the coming of chaos prevails
the wolfpack returns
armed with a fistful of terror and hate,
a storm is rising
harmful and mean we kill the weak
harmful and mean we kill
harmful and mean we kill the weak
harmful and mean we kill
mayhem bringing violent death to this place
we´ll bring you down
we laid the world in ashes, yeah right!
you called for redemption, now we´re out to kill
we know our enemies well, we´ll succeed
we´re gonna win this war with burning hearts and skill
we laid the world in ashes, yeah right!
you called for redemption, now we´re out to kill
we know our enemies well, we´ll succeed
we´re gonna win this war with burning hearts and skill
we´re back, the hordes of twilight are led
by the reaper
harmful and mean we kill the weak
harmful and mean we kill
we´ll strike, your armies will be undermined
by our mercenaries
we fight the ones who pretend to the throne
we´re digging their graves
we laid the world in ashes, yeah right!
you called for redemption, now we´re out to kill
we know our enemies well, we´ll succeed
we´re gonna win this war with burning hearts and skill
we laid the world in ashes, yeah right!
you called for redemption, now we´re out to kill
we know our enemies well, we´ll succeed
we´re gonna win this war with burning hearts and skill
8. Christcrusher
i´m youre nightmare, the madman
i´m back from the dead
death´s shroud lies on this place
on this holy land
do you fear my rituals
you´re doing right
can´t control my dark urge
i smell your death
christcrusher
christcrusher
christcrusher
i crush the bastard son
i shed your snow-white skin
i slice your flesh
i taste your heart, your sweet blood
and yearn for more
my hunger grows forever
as i bare my teeth
four candles light up my chamber
i´m in a trance
christcrusher
christcrusher
christcrusher
i eat the bastard son
shadows dancing on the wet walls
to a silent hum
then i´m burning your entrails
and your crown of thorns
your dead eyes are staring at me
so i rip them out
i crush your feet with a steel mace
and your stigmatized hands
christcrusher
christcrusher
christcrusher
who´s the next in line?
9. Swallowed (by The Sea of Grief)
flying high across the ocean
dark waves raging hard
a warm feeling
a touch of freedom
my wings are made of love
my plumage made of silk
i think i´m safe up here
i`m untouchable
the voices from the past
they laugh and scream at me
with every word they speak
i start sinking
swallowed by... the sea of grief...the waters of...repentance
swallowed by...the sea of grief...the mirror of... reality
swallowed by...the sea of grief...embraced by fear...tranquillity
swallowed by... the sea of grief...the waters of...repentance
swallowed by...the sea of grief...the mirror of... reality
swallowed by...the sea of grief...embraced by fear...tranquillity
accusing words create
a mighty weight of guilt
upon my shoulder
like a burden
they pull me down, i smell the salt
and taste insanity
one look into the throat
of the hungry sea
my precious mind is washed away
to blackest shores
as i reflect my dream
i feel anxiety
swallowed by... the sea of grief...the waters of...repentance
swallowed by...the sea of grief...the mirror of... reality
swallowed by...the sea of grief...embraced by fear...tranquillity
