1. Voivod
My lands are infectious
Your sun begin to gloom
You see my harmful country
And my sky is black today
Pay the price for your life
Your ticket to open gate to die
VOIVOD ! I'm a paranoid
VOIVOD ! The wine of blood
VOIVOD ! I'm a crazy god
VOIVOD ! The ferocious dog
My eyes fix your soul
I like it cos it's too late to go
When I relish, I'm a beast
When I torture, You freeze
And if you see your angel
Contaminate him with cancer
[Chorus]
I'm a nuclear creature
For atomic fight
Come with me in my spider line
In the black hole of the night
Your visit is short today
Don't worry in the terror you stay
And if you don't trust me
I'll chop your body to eat
[Chorus]
2. Ripping Headaches
Delivering the noise to keep
My head red hot
Riding in the long run
I get the energy
Tonight let's go I'm here
To feel my suicide
We turn it on
And you'll be going crazy
The electricity is in the air to shock
Breaking into shivers
If you want disorder
They're many maniacs here
The shit is just beggining
It will be long before
We see posers again
I'm gonna tear some wimp
Rockers limb from limb
Running the speed in blood
Blowing my ears with noise
In this place everybody becomes mummified
I don't know why but it's sure
We're the violators
Anyway I shall go wether fate leads me
In some place they looked at
Us in wide mouthed
Maybe because we are heavier
Than all destructors
It's a lot of fuss and you don't have a choice
Bite kill rush skulk and there's
No chance to save your cracked brain
Burn slam shout scream the end is
Always near I want to drop my pill
Ah!Ah!The riff came full putch at my head
Do you like it ??
You've got a brain damage
It's the ripping headaches
I'm still smashing and
My body is doing bad
We don't care and you know
All the world must die ! Aah!
3. Korgull the Exterminator
There's a new killer in the line
Of the host
He catches his victims and let
Them fall into decay
It's the law of the jungle
One or the other must die
Awaiting unavoidable death in the hole
If you need the horrors of war
See Korgull
The nebulous prowler will come to
Take you and exterminate your life
You take your chance but the
Sky is clouding over
You wanna be out but nobody
Lets you go away
The grand master of fast purification
Know that you'll never survive
If you need the horrors of war
See Korgull
The nebulous prowler will come to
Take you and exterminate your life
Korgull, Korgull is here I'm
Exposed to the direct danger
I'm hearing the echoes of the battle
Korgull walks along the land
He kills and terrorizes me
His name is Korgull...
Awaiting reinforcements
Rematerialize in nothingness
I am not out to reform this world
Just to fight with this creature
I saw him with my own two eyes
He was coming from other worldly
With his vitreous eyes that fix me
It's too late
Korgull rules the earth !!!
4. Tornado
Nature deadly twisters
War of winds strikes again
You live in a nice neighborhood
As nice as it will be after
They drop down from the clouds
Completely out man's control
Some day it's gonna catch me
The tornado is right behind
It picks me up to overseas
The tornado is right there
Cumulonimbus storms arrive
Lightning flashes a hundred miles around
Electrical collision course
Creates the elephant trunk
Creeping and looking for your home
Sucking anything from the ground
Go 25.000 feet in the air
The deadlist of all thunderheads
The strong winds and the vacuum
Are gonna take you to the heart of the storm
Moving and turning
No escape, you disappear
It rips you off, keeps you in
Rises you up and pushes you out
Into the guts of the tornado
Get high by the suction of the funnel
Spinning at 300 miles an hour
And trying to outwit this monster
Moving and turning
No escape, you disappear
It rips you off, keeps you in
Rises you up and pushes you out
The frontal attack, now is in the past
Is it finished, or is it coming back?
No one knows, where it goes
Am I safe ? Am I gone with it ?
Running scared !!
Do it quickly, if you see it
There is no time, for a warning
The tornado has struck, hope you have some luck
Dust will make you blind, nothing you can find
Running scared !
Tornado ! Tornado ! Tornado !!!...
5. Ravenous Medicine
Another emergency truck keeps rolling fast
Two lane highway and they run on the wrong track
You still don't know that you're never going back
You're going to the science hospital
You guess that your body is still alive
They estimate you're in pretty good health
Good shape for some of our sadistic tests
Doctor said you must stay in bed
Surgical scourge on you
Surgical scourge on you
Electric shock through you
Electric shock through you
Feel the scalpel they cut you with
Going into the experimental room
How much radiation can your body stand?
You did very well, you'll feel better soon
The red cross is turning black
Wake up in another department
You see the nurse with blood on her clothes
They got another experience for today
Maybe the worst of them
Diagnosing the pain, the ravenous medicine
Discovering the cure, the ravenous medicine
Died through illness, the ravenous medicine
Don't care how many organs you gave
Injecting the drugs
'Till you become the slave
Turn off the machine that keeps your heart beating
They're gonna do it to you !!
6. Cockroaches
They can put waste to civilization space
Cos the human species you can stop
See the end, it’s got nothing to protect
Now it’s too late.
Invaded by millions
Millions and millions.
I see them everywhere
Now they are walking thru my head
My brain is all over.
Their food is plastic clothes and boots.
Flesh and bones
You head.
I would like a monster
Mechanical creatures
Fire is their fear
But you must burn the whole city.
Tomorrow they are gonna lead
Machines keep running.
To the limits of the country.
There is only one solution
Invade one by one.
7. Tribal Convictions
Dance for masters...primitive
Full of colors...offensive
I've just arrived
Like a flash in the dark
My life has been
Lit up like a spark
They turn around the big fire
They sing a song to get higher
I've just got here
To find underbrains
I'll watch their voodoo
That starts the rain
Are there any forces
Are there two faces
Are there some chances
We've never seen...that before
It's what we've been...waiting for
It just arrived
To save our lives
The flying lord
The god of all time
Have no idea....what it thinks
But have no fear...we trust it
It is the leader
Of our sacred wars
Came from the sky
It rules so far
Are there any forces
Are there two faces
Are there some chances
They're searching for something
Something to believe in...
Their convictions
Blood effusion
Is it a crime
Their convictions
Self-destruction
At the right time
Their convictions
Exploitation
Under the sigh
It's gonna be more
It's gonna be war
It's gonna be...
Who's the god
Who's the dog
Who's the dog
Who's god...Who's dog
Who's god...Who's dog
Who's god...Who's dog
Who's god...Who's dog
8. Psychic Vacuum
Still twisting and suggesting
Some passengers
Play with my nerves
It paralyses dexterity
Inculcating anxiety
Can compromise my reason
Reach out of trance
How could I stop the entrance
Over the stress
I have to find the weakness
Involve a quest
Between my mind and myself
Head is like a burning house
What can I do for my rescue
Inverse the strike to take the lead
Then following what I believe
Ain't got the same conception
I'm now able
To push those spirits outside
My thought is free
And forever lives in me
Psychic transfer
I've stolen their unique power
Nothing can stop the evacuation
Nothing can stop the psychic vacuum
9. Astronomy Domine (Pink Floyd cover)
Lime and limpid green
The second scene
The fights between
The blue you once knew
Floating down
The sound resounds
Around the icy
Water underground
Jupiter and Saturn
Oberon there on the run
Titanian, Neptune, Titan
Stars get frighten
Winding signs flap
Flicker flicker flicker flap
Pow! Stairways scared
And death rules there
Blindman limpid
Green the sound
Surrounds the icy water on the
Lime and limpid green the sound
Surrounds the icy
Waters underground
10. The Unknown Knows
On this train
Will it always rain?
Try to analyze
This led venture
Songless sky, digital bug-eye
Octogonal seams so much clearer
Indiscrete, status incomplete
To provide me with
Something better
Things come and go
This world is droll
All that I know
The Unknown knows
Talk to me you flying shadows
Wandering into the ozone stew
Keep your myths from the embryos
Who would misconstrue
Anything new
An outright official fiasco
Can you shiled me
From the drastic truth
Times come and go
How dull the flow
All that I hope
The Unknown knows
Have some sign come to me
That I am in their league
Back down to reality
Look about, response is wanting
Events are carefully on display
Common sense, a gift, is given
But mystic mistakes are never made
Suspecting premature daydreams
I surrender to ritual grey
I come and go
Endless approach
I must be close
The Unknown knows
Why all this commotion now?
Stop...wait
I wish I knew the one who knows
Yesterday will come
With tomorrow's sun
And merry-go-round
Stuck on muddy ground
Nineteen yelping fools
Half-wits spouting drool
Half of which have some
The others have none
I knew all along
11. Panorama
walking down an alley
deep in blue neon
a dead end for today
under skyways worn
concrete from far below
rising up above
surrounded by shadows
garden without gods
all are strangers alike
all riding the blind
the purple of blind
the purple of their eyes
in reverie unwind
circling sub-city
a rainbow appears
to calm down the fury
to calm all the fears
this random occurance
is only a sign
of the incoherence
in the clockwork mind
a symphony of our time
recalling the past
people in a decline
denying the vibrations we're made of
somber drama
rolling down hill
panorama
all is so still
anyway, anyhow
anyhow, anyway
end of all reason
is what I go through
yes, it is what I go through
slip-sliding nation
is what they must do
yes, it is what they must do
over the greying landscape
under a deadened sky
sitting on a mountain
I will stand aside
as I am a witness
I turn a blind eye
I am feeling helpless
but it passes by
is this a modern legend?
maybe a fairy tale
just a future requiem
cutting along the fiction that we're
made of
12. The Prow
there you are, you're with me
protecting all my crew
I carved you, from a tree
my vision is you
Lorelei, I have thee
in front of my ship
cutting waves, at full speed
savouring the trip
down the mirror of the waterline
leaning over underwater life
hidden treasures of the seven seas
I'm starboard to nowhere
on the milky way
howling wind, salty air
tearing at the sails
looking down the crow's nest
gliding in the sky
without sound, going west
boating on the fly
but some day
you'll go home
far away
on your own
dans la mer
you'll go down
go down where
you belong
