1. Die by My Hand
Shining metal
Arc of light
Red eyes
Smell of fear
Deep cut
Red stream
On white skin
In slow-motion
Stop time
Close your lips
Keep the word
Lay down and sleep
With bleeding heart
I'll take you away
Save you from
The claws of time
Die by my hand, die by my hand
Now you are
A crystal rose
Frozen for
Eternity
Down on my knees
Caress your body
Inside my head
In slow-motion
Stop time
Close your lips
Keep the word
Lay down and sleep
With bleeding heart
I'll take you away
Save you from
The claws of time
Die by my hand, die by my hand
Die by my hand
2. No Need to Be Human
A new day's born
After a long hard ride
I'm on my way
To a place called home
But now I'm here
Lost between machines
Watching grey, mute faces
Go on and destroy their lives
Why do you do this... stop it now
'Cos in fact you're innocent... Like a new born child
Identity's lost... no need for names
Identity's lost... no need for ideas
Identity's lost... no need for resistance
Identity's lost... no need to be human
Why do you do this... stop it now
'Cos in fact you're innocent... Like a new born child
Why do you do this... stop it now
'Cos in fact you're innocent... Like a new born child
3. Read My Scars
My cry echoes on a naked wall
Cold like a crystal
Numbered hours creeping
Insanity strangles reality...
Weakened, crushed, formed
New dimensions arise
My mind becomes a fortress
Impregnable, shut
The walls between us make the public safe...
Read my scars...see why I'm like that
Read my scars...and don't ask me why
Whisper turns into a scream
Light would burn my skin
My legs, useless instruments
My eyes, almost blind
See the sunny world outside
Ignorant of the fact
Faking shock, forgetting fast
Freedom is a gift...
My cry echoes on a naked wall
Cold like a crystal
Numbered hours creeping
Insanity strangles reality...
The walls between us make the public safe...
Read my scars...see why I'm like that
Read my scars...and don't ask me why
The walls between us make the public safe...
Read my scars...see why I'm like that
Read my scars...and don't ask me why
4. D.O.A.
I won't go till the sun lights the night
And the moon is melting my skin
Water turns to fire
And flames are freezing to ice
I won't go till I've tasted dark wine
Made out of deepest sorrow
Absorbing winds of suffering
On fields of blood and tears
Pictures move fast...the end in sight
But I will break...the laws of time
I won't go till I've immersed myself
On the trail of mystery
Searching for the sacred two-headed worm
Who crawls down my soul
5. Mistress of Deception
Glowing heat, horizon swims
Wall-less labyrinth
Grace and ugliness, combined like never before
It's hell on earth, desert law
Where water means gold
Burning breath, deadly games
Two colored world of disgrace
Where water means gold
Mistress of deception
Daughter of death
Realm of the sun
Merciless, invincible
Glowing heat, horizon swims
Wall-less labyrinth
Storm, culmination of her wildness
Swallows every trace for eternity
6. Tunnel of Pain
Endless run, endless pain
Thousands of words, beating my brain
Thousands of lips, try to explain
But never found the answer
Pushed around, edge to edge
Never felt safe, never felt home
Different system, another parole
Decision demanded, what do I do
Take that stone and replace my body
Take that stone and replace my soul
Take that stone and replace my heart
Take that stone and replace it all
I'm lost, born on the dark side
My life, a tunnel of pain
Take that stone and replace my body
Take that stone and replace my soul
Burned out, head down
Still on search, cry'n out
Take me away, far away
Take me away, away from it all
7. Why it Hurts
Lonely it spreads its wings
Eager to wake my fire
Slowly circling over me
Burning with deep desire
I don't know why it hurts
What the hell is it all about
When I lie awake at night
I feel it all 'round me
Winding like the snake of old
It's foul breath all about me
I don't know why it hurts
What the hell is it all about
It fills my head with words
But when I want to speak
I don't know what to say
I feel like shattered glass
Is cutting at my very heart
I long for it with every nerve
It's tearing me apart
I don't know why it is
What the hell is it all about
8. Last Entertainment
Acted situation
Cheap shadowplay, sold expensive
Triumph of a dying culture
Rotten core
Surrounded by the
Faceless circle stream
Rolls like the boom
Of giant granite cylinders
Exposed victims and their hopeless runs
Breathe in dust with a boot in their neck
The fear in their eyes
Make spectators hearts
Beat the slow rhythm
Of executed "justice"
Spiral progress, unstoppable
Exhausted sources
Replaced by perversion
Now we come down
Down there to the realm of blood
Diving in seas of
Putrefied bodies
Charge yourself during scenes of dying
You will buy again
Cause boredom creates hunger...
