1. A Time to Die
Breathing fire,
hatred has made you known
Promise of more hatred than before
The Legacy will roam
for centuries to come
Let the pressure ease,
and the blood will boil
Born in flames,
my silent empire no longer will be
Making the ground tumble -
I will soon reign
The circle is complete,
your work is done here
You cannot fly with those burned wings
The time has come to die
You will not go down by yourself
Bringing many to come
Taking you down to my hell...
Stalking to the end of time
Welcome to my hell
My friend of fire, my demon
Can you hear, the answer has arrived
See my colony of hate grow
A colony that grows from the inside...
...from inside...
FROM INSIDE
The flames will reach high -
you'll become my slave
Brought to my altar of sacrifice
They will know when they see my eye,
yellow as the sun - smooth as the cat
Near the earth's core,
all the seven gates are open
They stand with mouth open and gaze
See my arrival
on flowing comsuming flame
Cane in the ground -
this is my metropolis...
...the dark age has arrived
Born in flames,
my silent empire no longer will be
Making the ground tumble -
I will soon reign
The circle is complete,
your work is done here
You cannot fly with those burned wings
The time has come to die
You will not go down by yourself
Bringing many to come
Taking you down to my hell...
Sculptures of the dead
Skulls in line
Chandaliers of bone
Sulphur in veins
2. One More Kill
Bringing me to justice
won't change my cause
I have all the plans needed to perform
I have everything under control
Leading to disaster for many to suffer
I have what it takes,
I have the skill
I need the human bait,
I need just one more kill
Surrender won't make things easy
I know how you spend your day
They think they know who I am
No matter where they try...
...they will always fail
See the transparent skin smooth as silk
The plan is almost to an end
A final stroke that will end this life
I have what it takes,
I have the skill
I need the human bait,
I need just one more kill
I need just one more kill
I NEED JUST ONE MORE KILL
Flashing and turning makes no sense
The way of life will come to an end
Struggling to maintain the theatre of pain
My life has been left in shame
Continuance struggle
to get through the day
Institutions numbered on the hand
The scars I will have to carry all my life
The scars that no one else can see
I have what it takes,
I have the skill
I need the human bait,
I need just one more kill
It feels like the dawn of the creation
Flames shoot high - rocks melts
Blood boils and rage begins to rise
The first cut was the deepest
Opening my mouth
Scream from the top of my lungs
No matter how hard I try
No one ever hears
3. Acid With Acid - Piece by Piece
your thought, my will
your thought, my will
melted to one and formed with flesh
my need to hate, a spine of hate
broken down using my skill
a madman making the change
tender and smooth, sealing the fate
divide the evolution of time
assembling the conerstones of life
you haven`t seen anything alike
the soul burned to a crisp
a madman making the change
Part by part
Stone by stone
Forgive my father of life
Shrink it in size
Inserted and fitted for fight
Adapting my brother, my slave
You will become my prize
Acid with acid - piece by piece
I`m putting you together
So beautiful, you`ll see
As the world now...
...sleeps
rise my creature rise
my creature...
...RISE
[Lead: Persson]
I fest on the knowledge that I possess
I`m not your god
A madman making the change
The becoming of the future
We become...the dead
Formed into theory
A protein fed to grow
Caring, watching every move
One by one they join
Cornerstones of the body, soon whole
Ways of the future come as one
My creaure in red will now grow:
Acid with acid - piece by piece
I`m putting you together
So beautiful, aou`ll see
As the world now sleeps
I`m putting you together
So beautiful, you`ll see
I`m putting you together
So beautiful, you`ll see
4. Glitches Will Tell
This time I`m on the edge
The edge of my ability
Something crawls within me
Give me an answer what to do
There must be someone
Does anyone care?
Resistance is futile
I`m beoming a machine of the future
One leader - one goal
Hooked to cables and hose
Programmed with instructions to kill
Hydraulic blood and synthetic eyes
If assignment goes as planned
An upgrade will be done
The files say
Armed with electricity
You know when I`m around
The glitches will tell
I don`t show up alone
No minds - just the will to kill
No regrets bathe in blood that's spilled
One mind - taking care of the plan
One voice - telling us which are to be scanned
Exterminating every humand life
Taking control of space and time
Pray for death - it will come soon
We breathe no air - advance is mine
[Lead: Persson]
I`m becoming a machine of the future
One leader - one goal
Hooked to cables and hose
Programmed with instructions to kill
Hydraulic blood and syntethic eyes
We will just be one
One kind, one machine
One leader, one goal
We will grow the flourish
Become the intelligent race
Control every boundry
Infiltrate your world
Soon we will have your mind
No minds - just the will to kill
No regrets - bathe in blood that`s spilled
5. Traces of the Past
Big Bang
Day one is born
I`m coming through
God at the table
Science by the table
What will it be?
A war...
...ending in decay
never knowing how it became
my life ending in turmoil
leaving a trace from my finger
passed on for generations
twisted but still whole
it is pumping in my veins
a reflection
a reflection - within my pain
[Lead: Persson]
Not knowing how it was like this
Withholding the conerstones of life
It has been left inside me
You tell me that I alone am the one
The one who matches the past
A past that should be in my skin
The more I kow...
The more I see...
[Lead: Persson]
Time is ending, no more control
The root of the past is now done
You found the traces of the past
A tree showing how it was done
Murder...
Betrayer...
I`m the one who carries the past
He was the root of the past
An ancestor who has made the ground
That I now stand on
A life that should reflect in me
It was said in the books that I`m the one
Traces all through my body
I see the ancestor in me
It has been part of many troops
Troops roaming the globe
Preparing to see my destiny
Reaped as we are sown
I am - the spawn of history
I am - the traces of the past
I have - been constructed
I have - your blood in my veins
Traces of the past
6. Serpent's Tongue
Desolation of the fool left standing
Devastation of our lives
You messenger with lies
Entered our world of life
Calm seas and no wind
You arrive as a majestic figure
On horseback you ride
No armour or weapon
No weapon except for the words
The master, a deserter from a group
I will never throw my self under you
My beliefs will stay in blood
Blood that has been shed
My story told and carverd in stone
"take my hand" you say
"I`ll show you the light like never before
he will forgive and make things right"
you figure, you creature of death
when you talk I see the serpent`s tounge
the evil in disguise
infiltrating and undermining
taken by surprise
the past is forgotten
buried under stone
all the memories cast as building-stone
reinforced by the words of god
crosses, altars and followers
they spread like a wildfire
making way for infestation by the lies
your way has no end
this holy war has many lives spent
[Lead: Holm]
[Lead: Persson]
A story made up
Read between the lies
The preacher has no mind of his own
These are the lost souls
On the quest nothing shall stop
My story told and carverd in stone
"take my hand" you say
"I`ll show you the light like never before
he will forgive and make things right"
you figure, you creature of death
when you talk I see the serpent`s tounge
the evil in disguise
displayed as an object of brutality
tried all the way without success
now only hatred remains
a hate that only blackens my life
maimed of my past
a broken heart, blackend your light
crucifying soul to make your point
pain is all that is left
a pain that won`t go away
7. God of Demise
the storm has settled
the ancient sun will rise
we obey every your demand
the world is tumbeling
our god of demise...
still you abandon me
I have praised the words
Taught in your name
Worked as your slave
Trying to understand
These weak words
Now show me a sign
My knuckles are bloody
My knees are week
From...my praying
[Lead: Holm]
I own the simplest of things
Dedictated this life...in vain
Others that disbeliefed,
Were hung by the neck...
And were found,
With the tounge cut out...
[Lead: Persson]
Relics all around
The isle that should lead to you
Studies of the history of mankind
Read and write in latin
Travelled the world from coast to coast
Seen the plauges
The blacken the tounge
Trying to heal, speaking your words
Pray for helf - so that mankind
Won`t go under
Have I proof of the excistence
Believed in the end of the world
The one that gave us life
Read the printed words...
Why have you forsaken me?
Lord, why have you forsaken me...?
FORSAKEN ME
I have no proof of the things
I teach are true
Disbelief...
8. Massive Machinery
reality has...died...
my way of life ending in decay
new eras of the wind is blowing
clearing everything in its path
creating new world order
plague on a fictive level still haunts
computerized levels in the new world
taken from the mind of the insane
rose of orphans to fuel the creation
a creation that is a ghost in mind
miles and miles of the dead but alive
I wander in the desert landscape,
Formed by the hands of evil
I hear the bell chime,
Fed to the massive machinery,
That keeps forcing
Soft walls encaged within ourselves
The coming of a new world
Who are we?
[Lead: Persson]
Another mouth to feed
Are we to walk the same path?
Yanked from the machine,
Which leeps me alive
No air, no sight
Terminated, control denied
Gave up without a fight
You colony of my disease
I wander in the destert landscape,
Formed by the hands of evil
I hear the bell chime,
Ther time has come
Fed to the massive machinery,
That keeps forcing
Soft walls encaged within ourselves
[Lead: Holm]
You make me tremble
My complex from
My disfigured body shaped
I have drunk the blood
I have eaten the flesh
I wonder in the desert landscape,
Formed by the hands of evil
I hear the bell chime,
Ther time has come
Fed to the massive machinery,
That keeps forcing
Soft walls within ourselves
9. The Empire
a man in position
a man with massive power
I feel my hate grow
This feeling is due to you
The perverted, twisted and sick
You corrupt...
You deceitful...
In front of the evil at stake
Every thought there is a plan behind
Guardians at every path
Secure, safe and locked up
Your days will be counted
The iron first that chokes us all
Telling which way to walk and to crawl
The empire is growing
Total war
The empire is showing
Mayhem, slaughter and gore
Mayhem, slaughter and gore
Your time will come
Evil with the puppets
Pulling the strings of your subjects
Ending in total winter
Blood on the hands of many innocent
You don`t care if they die
People have to pay the price
Total hatred aimed
Maximum security
Don`t work without control
Patterns of arrangements
Won`t bend one inch
Sick of it all
Classified
Information
Only need to know basis
Forwards and forwards
You tell them to move
An empire in the shadows,
too big for me and you
[Lead: Holm]
A man in your postion
Greed overflowing
Can`t conquer the world
Even when the empire is growing
Controller...
Inspires anger to flow
The illusions will turn to storm
Evil...
Believer...
I know how it will end
Exploit your power
See the rise and fall
Secure, safe locked up
Your days wil lbe counted
The iron fist chokes us all
Telling which way to walk and to crawl
The empier is growing
Total war
The empire is showing
Mayhem, slaughter and gore
Mayhem, slaughter and gore
10. First Weapon of Choice
Difference of living alone
A way of life that soon will show
Seen it from the start
They will make the stone melt and we will rot
Misleading to wipe the race away
Not knowing the next to fall
A messenger with the written word
Feel it, fell as it swallows you whole
The divine flames caress
The flames will lead the way
Ending you without a breath
Wrapped with elegance
The printed manifest will make the start
Every word written, everything I say
Trying to get back to what seems normal
Ending fast and in decay, no light I hardly see
Working to prove that I`m right
Sending the celestial gift to the first one to go
This time a deadly way out
Would there be any to follow:?
Yes there will
Feel it, fell as it swallows you whole
The divine flames caress
The flames will lead the way
Ending you without a breath
Now listen what I have to say
Advance, my first weapon of choice
A step ahead, I make no mistakes:
Take note of everything happened
My manifest is taking form
Simplicity, this makes them fall
See what you turned this into
[Lead: Persson]
Going higher in the hierachy
This time will hurt
Leaving a trace behind for the puzzle
Confusing factor this will be
I hide in the shadows of lies
Drawn characters has no resemblance
I redefine my craftmanship
Nothing like others
Corpes will be numbered
Sending the final note to the one survived
Telling that this was just a lie
Feel it, fell as it swallows you whole
The divine flames caress
The flames will lead the way
Ending you without a breath
Now listen what I have to say
Advance, my first weapon of choice
A step ahead, I make no mistakes:
