 Alterations
 You've got this weird feeling of fear
 That someone's watching you close
 You must demean yourself to calm it
 Down with some stuff of sickening chill
 
 But an explicit, deceptive effect
 Forces you to take more
 It's the fictitious world you're dying in
 So death is condign!
 
 [Chorus:]
 Please point out the way that's right
 Please bring me a nice dream this night
 One that can relief my questions
 The one of life alterations!
 
 It seems like I am the only one to care
 But I'm not the one to blame
 Are you just careless concerning your own health?
 Or have you just lost your sense?
 
 How can I hide that I'm so tired of
 The carefree deaf humanity
 When the punishment, decay and disease
 Are beyond all your beliefs!
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Lead: Schultz, Hansen, Schultz, Hansen]
 
 Why do I have so many questions
 And not one single answer to them?
 I am so helpless alone here
 And yet it's crowded up
 
 Nobody to call my inner self
 And make me wake up
 I am dying slowly from deep within
 Do you have a space for me?
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Why haven't anyone told me all
 And everything about life?
 Just about the womb from where I was born
 Is there anyone to blame?
 
 Is heaven a place for those who prey
 And not for some like me?
 Why not entomb me in a hole
 And I'll just rot in peace?
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Lead: Schultz, Hansen]
 
 
 
 
 6. Occurrence Concealed
 
 Occurence Concealed
 Is poverty the plague of the new generation?
 Economical corruption caused by leaders of oppression
 Cheating you with words false and meaningless to them
 Fascism and hate is the law they're living for!
 
 Rottenness revealed in the higher men's places
 Greed and corruption are shattering the weak
 Giving all illusions to their own necessity
 If you will survive you must fight on your own!
 
 [Chorus:]
 Putridity revealed - interminable destitution
 Occurrence concealed - solicitudes expiration
 Putridity revealed - interminable destitution
 Occurrence concealed - solicitudes expiration
 
 Ruling governments are taking every chance
 To destroy, dispose and none will live it through
 Shattered ideas, the population is betrayed
 Deceived and displeased, criminal reinforcement!
 
 Born to poverty, is this what you expect
 From a government of brains to which we all pay?
 All tyrannical leaders are chosen by their own
 So you'll never live to see a life without greed!
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Lead: Schultz, Hansen, Schultz, Hansen]
 
 The conditions of life become difficult to see
 Will this ever stop or is it just meant to be?
 Raging and hating grow fast among the poor
 Insurrection of hunger is now a waste of time
 
 Unemployment rises in the lower social life
 A scaring, dreadful subject which all are talking about
 But who will have the strength and possess the guts it needs
 To change this putrid plague and destroy it for lifetime
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Behind this painted surface the decay is clear to see
 Destroying what they can, no nature left behind
 Exploitation, greed, corruption, aren't them an end?
 Defalcation, need, oppression, this will never change!
 
 The militant development is wasting big amounts
 And you know that your money has gone there too
 Leave us in the dirt and take all our bucks
 Buy more weapons, is this where it lacks?
 
 [Chorus]
 
 
 
 
 7. The Persistence From Memorial Chasm
 
 The Persistence From Memorial Chasm
 Back in the days of laughter and fun
 We were the perfect to prevent any tears to come
 Promising that nothing could ever fail
 You weren't ready to receive the final nail
 The tiny loss of health would drive someone insane
 Fading fast away could only leave some remains
 So you meet the fate in which you've never believed
 Are you happy now for the things you've achieved?
 
 Now in my mind there's only despair
 Could I just go on or did I even care?
 Decaying to a world so far from yourself
 You're gone by now that's what the rumors tell
 The instant kind of pain would drive another insane
 Resulted in sending you "The Dying Day"
 So you meet the fate in which you've never believed
 Are you happy now for the things you've achieved?
 
 The immaterial things you did for me
 Reflected in underserved sympathy
 Were you certain in the way you acted?
 I'm sure it is a brain you lack!
 The incessant missing person drove me more insane
 Stupidly protecting you from a world of hate
 So you meet the fate in which you've never believed
 Are you happy now for the things you've achieved?
 
 So my doubt grew fast and more each day
 Could I miss one so much or was it meant this way?
 Sometimes the chasm of my soul came close
 Where were you when I needed you most?
 The careless kind of world drove my void insane
 But from where should I know that I'd wait in vain?
 So I met the fate in which I've never believed
 Am I happy now for the things I've achieved?
 
 The anachronism in my carnal thoughts
 Gives more depreciation to the dying force
 Anxious I prepare the final call
 Captious words in my anterior form
 
 [Lead: Schultz]
 
 The cauterized minds of the ethereal need
 Makes me forget how much I for you feel
 Inveracity hides in your nicest deeds
 The persistence of memorial chasm!!!
 
 [Lead: Hansen, Schultz, Hansen]
 
 [Repeat 1st and 2nd verses]
 
 
 
 
 8. Pursuit Of A Rising Necessity
 
 Pursuit Of A Rising Necessity
 Turn around, look at me
 I'll tell you what's bothering me!
 Where's responsibility?
 Do we have the same ideas?
 The abject sense of humour
 That you're trying forcing through
 Exceed my patience and I'll might
 Point you own gun right at you!
 
 [Chorus:]
 Pursuit of a rising necessity
 The feelings that nobody believes
 Errors in the ways of humanity
 Collision of the topics never needed
 
 The intractable attitude
 Shows the clear diffidence
 Needless talk I can't take
 All your so-called friends
 Vilification is the symbol of
 Your own stupidity
 So feel a lot more sensible
 When you think you're arguing with me!
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Lead: Hansen, Schultz]
 
 Take your stupid money
 Go to hell, turn my back, I don't care
 As long as I'm alive
 You'll soon be aware of me
 Your way to behave
 Show a clear affinity to the scum
 So just insult me while you can
 I think you'll surely regret your mistake!
 
 [Chorus]
 
 
 
 
 9. The Eternal War (ARTILLERY cover)
 
 
 
 
 10. The Promise Of Agony (DARK ANGEL cover)
 
 You tell me what will become of us?
 Are the lines so drawn and the stage so set,
 That as we age what reamins is burdened sufferance?
 My mortality looms in its visage is doom,
 And it's speaking to me alone.
 The years will unfold but what is the use?
 In solitude I'm left to atone.
 The sins of my past are returning to gnaw at my core,
 The scars I have left and those that have been left on me.
 My purpose in life, is it unfair to assume I have one?
 I'm not fooling myself, what now awaits is a nightmarish end.
 What I'm saying, do you understand?
 Do you know what it's like to feel inadequate?
 And the future ahead has no place for you,
 As if you ever thought it did...
 Alone in my shell, if I come out I'll die,
 I don't want to escape though I should.
 No, just leave me alone,
 *I don't want your help!!!
 *Yeah, if you could ease my pain you would... (right!)
 No, you don't even know me!
 And your words of comfort fall upon deaf and frightened ears,
 I lament my bitter fate, lachrymation upon examining my fears.
 I've built a fortress around my soul, impregnable the door,
 I refuse to admit you to my netherworld.
 You're correct, I've absolved my self-control,
 This spiraled course depression has me on.
 AGONY!
 I'M A STUDY IN DESPAIR, DOMINEERED BY THE PROMISE OF AGONY!
 AND THE HAPPINESS IS BOUND, AND THE HOPELESSNESS IS FOUND.
 I'M IN AGONY!!!
 CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND, DESPONDENCY COMMANDS MY AGONY!
 and I'm waiting to die alone...
 As I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams,
 A chilling descent into a phobic hell,
 Insanity's blade performs it's correctional surgery.
 Impending doom in this blackened room,
 I can give this all away.
 It's all so easy to capitulate,
 Nothing is making me stay...
 Retreating within and hiding behind my wall.
 Dealing without, there's no escape from this moribund state.
 Awaiting deep sleep, we don't care if I don't wake.
 In darkness' hands though terrified, I feel safe.
 I don't fit into the scheme of things!
 These years as an outcast are quickly wearing thin.
 My carefree days are a thing of the past,
 And I welcome the fact that I'm coming to an end.
 Melancholy, my bride, I devote unto thee,
 My, breath, my mind and my soul.
 As silence washes over me,
 I've never been so tired, so cold...
 Confusion seizes unto me,
 Manacled and beaten, chained up by it's frozen vice.
 This is killing me, but my mind is set, and I'm too weak to fight.
 Have you any idea what it's like to want to die?Then you will know from where I speak.
 This winter in my soul,
 This winter in my soul...
 AGONY!
 I'M A STUDY IN DESPAIR, DOMINEERED BY THE PROMISE OF AGONY!
 AND THE HAPPINESS IS BOUND, AND THE HOPELESSNESS IS FOUND.
 I'M IN AGONY!!!
 CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND, DESPONDENCY COMMANDS MY AGONY!
 and I want to be left alone...
 Yet again, I have no answers,
 The confusion of my fate takes it's toll.
 Symbolically speaking, what's another life
 That lists "ending itself" as its one and only goal?I've examined my options and I see nothing in my sight,
 Is there an avenue I've yet to explore?
 As of now, I'm decided I have nothing to live for...
 Defeated, alone, yet you laugh at the state I'm in!
 I can't help what I am, but you think this is all in my head.
 I'm not asking for help, but I want you to understand,
 That I'm going away, you guess if I'm coming back.
 You wish I had a will to live?
 This condition I'm in didn't happen overnight.
 I've hated myself for an eternity,
 Now I finally feel that I'm doing something right.
 As darkness descends I behold the Candlemass,
 I seek intimacy with death.
 Again, you're correct, these feelings will pass,
 When my memory is all you have left.
 My life has metamorphosed,Into a marriage of the twisted and macabre.
 I'm sitting here now feeling the effects of my words,
 Trying to see a reason why I should go on.
 I have to wonder, do I still believe in God?
 'Cause God no longer believes in me.
 I lay myself down for my final peace,I welcome Death, my spirit is free...
 AGONY!
 I'M A STUDY IN DESPAIR, DOMINEERED BY THE PROMISE OF AGONY!
 AND THE HAPPINESS IS BOUND, AND THE HOPELESSNESS IS FOUND.
 I'M IN AGONY!!!
 CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND, DESPONDENCY COMMANDS MY AGONY!
 and I'm pleading to die alone...
