01. Until Death Do Us Part

All the sorrows mine
Spitting on all mankind
What is this thing called love
A disgusting thing we all know

You made love to another
That night I cried
In lust you cheated me
That night I died
You say you're sorry
That you love only me
But that night when you did it
You weren't thinking of me
That night I died

Been dead for 15 years
Nursing my hate and tears
I'm sorry I didn't know
But my hate is always slow

One side of me loves you and keeps on going on
The other side says no way, this is only wrong
I cannot live in this uncertainty
Love & hate that struggles over destiny
That night I died
That night I cried

I'm living in unharmony
Sitting & watching my TV
Oh God!

They say unfaithfulness doesn't mean a thing
How come that my hate keeps on growing?
Listen!
As old as creation, this thing was sent
I'm the history, past present
Listen! Past present

Only death will set me free
Living is a mad reality
I'm blind and I can see
Please end this misery

This eternal prison I feel I've done my time
I want to get out now and make you all mine
Fear that I will one day end the beating of your heart
How could you forget, "Til death do us part"
One night you're going to die
And I will cry

Oh, lord!

02. Hippies Triumph

Peace & love & understanding,
Was the cry of the mid sixties
Visions in acid showed the way,
We smiled at one another
Colours of the rainbow filled my head,
And I loved a beautiful princess
We lived for a better day
And for a world where we loved each other
The freaks they really showed the way,
Gods children of the new tomorrow
Fight for a new society, or you will die in sorrow

This is a hippies thriumph, and at the same time
He fears the mistake of all youth

One mistake we made and so do you
All youth think they live forever
Life is short and runs away from you
And you have no time to hate your neighbour
Think of yourself all the way, was the cry of the eighties
Corrupted minds ruled a whole decade
Let's hope it turns in the nineties

This is your father speaking
And as every parent I'll fear for my youth

So sick & tired, of hearing same cry
The youth they don't understand us,
They don't hear what we say
The younger says that they don't listen
But you don't give them a chance to try
Use communication, on this I pray

Looking at the world today, no one loves each other
Hate instead of love we want they say
From the cup of madness you are drinking
Spitting in the face of love
then you spit in the face of creation
If You want a better world today
Then face it now and start thinking

This is a hippies thriumph, and at the same time
He fears the mistake of all youth

03. Destruction Of The Void

Oh you wonderful people
I need you all today
I reveal myself to you
If that is okay

In my minds eye I see people they are not free
In my world I'm living in I feel no harmony...

Started out and raised a little family
I was happy for a while
Sadness struck I realised eventually
You're the family that makes me smile

I need you and you need us
Together we break free
There's no other way to go
To feel the federaly

Listen people I have had a vision
Help me before I go paranoid
Search your souls and help me in this decision
A total Destruction of the Void

My heart is an unfinished galaxy of dreams
Before I go I want to know just what this life means

04. Let The Dead Bury The Dead

You are an asshole, you're the worst kind of worm
That have crawled out of the ground
Your existence, I'm sorry to say, is everywhere
On the new job & on the beach, I find you there
The Antichrist is born of a Jackal they say
It seems that you've been born the same way

I can tell that you
didn't plan to go far
I just want to know
who the hell you are

You suck the bosses dicks, a sad shape
You put the poor ones down, a human fake
Your whole life is a masquerade
All you are looking for: a better grade

The whole creation knows
you're Satan's slave
Who doesn't realise his sorrow and pain
A child of the grave, of the grave

I tell you there ain't no use in denying
Life's short and one day you are dying
Then you stand trial to the maker
What will you say to the giver and taker
You believe the lies that fills your head
All I say is let the dead bury the dead

I'll tell what will be
your biggest fear
No one will remember your name
You weren't here

06. Leaving The Warzone

It's another day in my home town
In the center of all Hell
But tomorrow I'll be long gone
I bid the pain farewell

I'm leaving the Warzone
I leave it behind
My father is gone
Not a trace to be found

My neighbours children are dying
The Devil stroke again
On the streets women are crying
The curse of evil men

I'm leaving the Warzone
I'm leaving today
I'm leaving the Warzone
It is the only way

I see your face is in sorrow
As I telling you goodbye
But here there's no tomorrow
No matter how I try

So listen to my story
Listen to what I tell
Some people think it's glory
But you know it's living Hell

I'm leaving the Warzone
I leave it behind
My father is gone
Not a trace to be found
Farewell

07. Angel Of Death

So sorry, it got out of hand
Sometimes it happens, you understand
The prisoners broke free, inside of them was our experiment
Like LSD to go public it was never meant
Now we must immediately close the file
All accusations, the usual way, we must deny
The shadow minds, gathered around the Pentagram
They always fight, a war, on our planet grand

Angel of death has come this way and to stay
Using his forces, and its resources, to spread the decay

The knowledge of the facts, are kept in the dark
A disease you can't see, still it is in your body and heart
Panic buttons are pushed around the world
There's no solution, still they pretend like they never heard
There is no safe sex and condoms won't save you
Tell me brothers & sisters, what are you going to do
Now the world is entering a sad state
We see no difference between true love and hate

Angel of death has come this way and to stay
Using his forces, and its resources, to spread the decay

Children of love arise
Now's the time to use all understanding
Children of God arise
Now you've got to move faster than lightning

To help these people out, all minds are set
We pay no attention to those who haven't caught it yet
This is what really makes me ill
To prevent it to go further, it seems to be no will
There's only one way to go right now
You don't like it but listen anyhow
Give those people a country, help them build it well
Work this out or we will face a global hell

Angel of death has come this way and to stay
Using his forces and its resources, to spread the decay

Are you ready for the signs of the time... [3x]

08. The Final Journey

Now the time has come for me to go
To the place that we all know
I'll travel with my silver machine
That was meant for every human being

Stars are in the sky
Here I go, I am going to die
A journey through the universe
To the sweet home of mine

An endless journey through the Universe
An endless journey through the Universe

No use to scream, this is no dream at all
The final journey, the final call
The greatest mystery and reality
And all you people are gonna join it with me

Soon I'll be walking the streets of gold
The Milky Way is Heaven I was told
100,000 stars with life today
You age 27 years to go that way

Stars are in the sky
Here I go, I am going to die
A journey through the universe
To the sweet home of mine
Sweet home of mine

Farewell, my sweet friend
I am saying farewell to you

09. No One's Hero

Where in Hell did you get so wrong
You're out to ban Rock 'n Roll songs
You want the people to follow you
Rule the masses, that's Rock 'n Roll too

You're no ones hero
A mental zero

A Christian you say you are
I saying that you're misusing His name
You're liar, you've gone too far
When He comes you'll be the one to blame

You're no ones hero
A mental zero

The greatest crime of all time
Another fool in the line
You say that you will follow the Lord
But when He comes you won't be heard
No, no way

You're no ones hero
A God-damned mental zero

Talk about the blind leading the blind
You're not nice, you're evil and unkind
Your moral views has caused the pain
That's why no one loves each other and you're to blame
Bastards!

You're no ones hero
A mental zero
You're no ones hero
