1. Ignorance (intro)
Were we all just innocent takers
Ignoring the signs of the flame
That now burns in the sky
Never breathe, scream or see again
Only remembering the meaningless lives
We once had
So onow
Let your soul fly away
'Cause it all turns to hate
2. Premature Burial
PREMATURE BURIAL
PREMATURE BURIAL
I'D RATHER BE DYING
TEN TIMES A DAY
THAN GOING THROUGH
THIS BLOODY MISERY
THE ETERNAL FLAME
IN THE GARDEN OF THE GODS
I NOW SEE BEFORE ME
NEVER BREATHE, NEVER SCREAM
NEVER SEE AGAIN
CANNOT SOMEONE HEAR ME?
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SIX FEET UNDER
STILL ALIVE AND WELL...WELL I WONDER
HEAR MY HEARTBEAT DECREASING IN TIME
APART FROM THAT I'M DOING FINE...FINE!!!
DRAGGED AWAY IN A CASKET I AM
A NIGHTMARE WORSE THAN VIETNAM
I NOW LIE IN MY DOMICILE
ANOTHER NAME ERASED FROM THE FILE
SCREAMING MY LUNGS TO BLOOD
DREAMING AWAY TO FAR OUT PLACES
REVENGE IS CERTAIN
IN MY FORTHCOMING LIFE
COMPULSION IS MY MOTIVE POWER
NEVER BREATHE, NEVER SCREAM
NEVER SEE AGAIN
OR FEEL MY SOUL DEVOURED
BLESSED BE THE MAN
WHO SPARES HIS STONES
AND CURST BE HE
WHO MOVES MY BONES
CAN'T USE MY EYES ONLY JUST MY MIND
NOW I KNOW THAT I'M GOING BLIND...BLIND!!!
THEY TRY TO KILL ME
BUT I'LL NEVER DIE!!!
3. Battle Thy Demons
DONT BE AFRAID
OF THE PRICE WE PAID
IT SEEMED SUCH A LOSS
WHAT THEY DID TO US
TO LIVE WITH HATE
IS TO DIE WITHOUT PAIN
THE HOUNDS ARE HERE
TO SEEK THEIR PREY
YOU CAN REDUCE YOUR LOSS
BUT YOU CANNOT WIN
BATTLE THY DEMONS
DESCENDING FROM HELL
OPEN YOUR MIND
TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE
BATTLE THY DEMONS
THE PRAYER THAT YOU TELL
YOU TELL!!!
THE BATTLE WITH THE DEMONS
SEEMS TO NEVER END
THERE IS A NEW SOLUTION
ENCOUNTING WITH THE DAMNED
NOW IT'S TIME
TO FOLLOW THE SIGNS
INTO THE PAST
THE FUTURE WILL LAST
CURSING THE KINGS O'TIME
PEACE WITHIN MY MIND
LONGING FOR A PLACE
FAR BEYOND THE DEMONS MAZE
AS WE START TO FIGHT
WE HAVE TO REALIZE
THEY'LL LAY YOU DOWN TO REST
DAMNATION OF THE QUEST
4. Obscurity
AT NIGHTFALL
IN PITCH DARKNESS
A DARK COMPLEXION
DEVESTATION
ACT OF CONSCIENCE
I AM HERE
OBSCURITY
TOO LATE TO LIVE
TOO LATE TO GIVE
YOUR LIFE AWAY
YOU'RE NOT CONTENT
WITH THE WAY WE LIVE
WE LIVE IT TODAY
THEY'LL TRACK YOU DOWN
HAUNT YOU NIGHT AND DAY
AND THEN YOU'LL PAY
THEY'LL ALWAYS TELL
YOUR MIND TO PREY
BUT WHO THE HELL
ARE THEY TO SAY
TO SAY
...OBSCURITY
BURN
JUST ONE MORE THING
YOU'LL HAVE TO KNOW
BEFORE I GO
IS WHEN YOU DIE
YOUR PLACE WILL BE
DEEP DOWN BELOW
IN THE FLAMES OF HELL
YOU'LL BURN LIKE...WELL
YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW
THEY'LL NEVER TELL
YOUR SOUL TO GO
BUT IT'S YOUR MIND
THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW
FOLLOW
LET YOUR SOUL FLY AWAY
TO THE UNKNOWN
TURNING TORTURE TO PLEASURE
AND PLEASURE TO PAIN
5. Induration of Sorrow
LOOK INTO YOURSELF LIKE SOME ENEMY
YOU ARE THE OBJECT TO UNKNOWN SECRECY
KILL ALL YOUR FEELINGS
JUST DON'T ASK ME WHY?
THEN YOU'RE PURE LIKE AIR
RIGHT ABOVE THE SKY
INNOCENT TAKER
STRANGE AND HOLLOW
FACE THE MAKER
INDURATON OF SORROW
LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
FORGET ABOUT THE PAST
EXPLAIN TO YOURSELF
IT WOULDN'T BE THE LAST
CHAFE THE SKIN
BY THE IRONY OF FATE
ANNOYED BY SARCASM
IT ALL TURNS TO HATE
HATE HATE HATE
IT ALL TURNS TO HATE
THINK OF YOUR NEEDS
TAKE EVERYTHING YOU CAN
EVEN IF YOU BLEED
YOU BLEED FROM YOUR HAND
THINK ABOUT YOURSELF
LIKE A ONE WORLD MAN
FORGET ALL AROUND YOU
NONE SHALL UNDERSTAND
NOW LOOK AT YOU
YOURE THE DEVIL HIMSELF
CLEAR ALL MINDS
AND FILL THE DUSTY SHELF
TRY REMEMBERING THE LIFE
YOU ONCE HAD
THIS IS OUR WORLD
JUST DON'T FORGET THAT
HATE HATE HATE
IT ALL TURNS TO HATE
6. The Gate Away
The gate away
Do not take my life
Eat my sins
Do not take my life
Eat my sins
Oh why
A shadow amongst shadows
A lonely wanderer of unseen paths
Carrying a burden of unnamed sins
Silently watching, forever apart, mountain
Just walk right in
The return
Just walk right in
The return
Ethical nightmares are somewhat alike
Oppress your sins
Just walk right in
The return
Do not take my life
Eat my sins
Sigh
Confront your fears with me
Exist with no regret
Reflect your reality
The gate away
Just let me fly
Daddy, where do people go when they die?
They go to hell
Gateway
Gateway
7. One-Eyed Beast
HE LED ME THROUGH ILLYRIA
ALAS THE DAY OF RECKONING
IS UPON YOU ALL
YOU BELONG TO ME NOW
THE WORD OF THE BEAST
SHE POURED HER SOUL
INTO THE SEA
FACE TO FACE MY MEAN MACHINE
THE KINGDOM WAS ECLIPSED
THEY BITE THEIR TONGUES
IN AGONY
EVERY HUMAN BEING DIED
YES THE SOUL THE SOUL TO SEA
THEY CURSED THE HEAVENS
SO THEY DID
THEY BURNED THE VILLAINS
WORSHIP THE BEAST
COUNT THE NUMBER OF MY NAME
FILLED WITH
BLASPHEMOUS FLAMES
THE SCARLET BEAST
SEVEN HEADS WITH HORNS
THE PENALISED SMOKE
INTO ETERNITY
ONE-EYED MAN...KING
ONE-EYED MAN...BEAST
IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND
THE ONE-EYED MAN
SHALL BE THE KING
HE LED ME THROUGH...KARAN
SO THE DAY OF RECKONING
IS UPON YOU ALL
YOU BELONG TO ME NOW
THE WORD OF THE BEAST
I TURNED AWAY NOT TO SEE
FACE TO FACE ENEMY
EVERY HUMAN BEING DIED
YES THE SOUL
THE SOUL TO SEE
THEY CURSED THE HEAVENS
SO THEY DID
THEY BURNED THE VILLAINS
WORSHIP THE BEAST
WORSHIP THE BEAST!!!
8. Hour of Grief / ...Majestic Virtue of Silence
This is a true story
Of a friend I once knew
It’s an authentic and tragic story
Called the hour of grief
Rage
From brothers to drugs
A maze of confusion
Betray your lies
I hope you are losing
First time out
And all is well
In my head the demon dwells
The demon dwells
The psycho inspiration
Leading my brain
From darkness to destruction
You’re leaving me
You’re leaving me, left to die
The hour of grief
Tormented soul in me
When I begin to see
The hour of grief
Time pisses by and I see
This man is sick
Or is it me
Day by day
The pain slides away
Sometimes less
But it’s here to stay
It’s here to stay
The psycho inspiration
Leading my brain
From darkness to salvation
You’re leaving me
You’re leaving me, left to die
The hour of grief
Tormented soul in me
When I begin to see
The hour of grief
Rage
Switch turn
The hour of grief shall return
The psycho inspiration
Leading my brain
From darkness to salvation
You’re leaving me
You’re leaving me, left to die
The hour of grief
Tormented soul in me
When I begin to see
I see myself
The story has ended
Killed by the light
Feel the demon fire
Raped by machines
Killing for the name
The diary is made now
You can cry all you want
No…
9. Supremacy
IF YOU COULD SEE
INTO THE FUTURE
HOW DARK IT COULD BE
I WOULD SURE CONSIDER YOU SUPREME TO ME
QUESTIONS REGARDING
WHAT WE CAN CREATE
IS STILL TO BE HUMANE
SO FAR
ANSWERS ARE WHAT
WE START TO SIMULATE
THE CREATION OF WORLD WAR
YOU DON'T LEARN TO LIVE
LIFE TO THE EXTREME
UNTIL YOU STAND BEFORE DEATH SO NOW YOU CAN CREATE
YOUR OWN SCENE
SIMULATING YOUR LAST BREATH
RAISE THE FLAG FOR ME
RAISE IT REAL HIGH
SUPREME BEAST
RAISE THE FLAG FOR ME
RAISE IT HIGH IN REAL
SUPREMACY...
SUPREMACY
THEN BURN THE FLAG DOWN
IN 1998 WE CAN SIMULATE
WHAT WE CAN NOT CREATE
HIDE BEHIND THE MASK
WITH 3 DIMENSIONS
TO CHOOSE YOUR FATE
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS
THIS INTERACTIVE LIFEFORM
YOU FORGOT TO SEE IT
BECAUSE YOU HAD YOUR MASK ON
SO WE HAVE TO FIND A NEW WAY
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
CYBERHEAD PUNCH IN YOUR CODE THEN YOU CAN GO
HIGH-TECH ACCESS DENIED
THE CODE WAS BROKE
AN OLD MAN ONCE TOLD US
THAT TECHNOLOGY AND REALITY WOULD COLLIDE
SUPREMACY
YOU ARE SUPREME TO ME...
