01. A Godly Work Of Art

Welcome to my exhibition
Welcome to my hell

Upon the altar lies
My human sacrifice
Distorted images
I hunt to find

One final body to finish up the artwork
Violent art, the darker part
New murder, new painting
It never gets done
Heavy murders - a godly work of art

Colors created by blood
Murder - I'm bleeding for the art

My sick brain eats me
Lim feeding it with pain
My treasures I hide
But from myself I cannot run

One final body to finish up the artwork
Violent art, the darker part
New murder, new painting
It never gets done
Heavy murders - a godly work of art

One final body to finish up the artwork
Violent art, the darker part
New murder, new painting
It never gets done
Heavy murders - a godly work of art

Selective mind
A collective kind - So frail

Magnetic senses
Electrified

Sublime control
Energetic visions

An organic core
Inside a metal shell
Human flesh
Nailed on rails

03. Within

I feel the shivers running down my spine
It wakes the powers of my undivine
My mind betrays me I''m leaping back in time
All those memories left behind

In the torture chamber where I lived to be?
All my purity is left in greed
Can''t take control, my ego burns me out
Everything seems so faded now

I''ve seen it, believed it
But deep inside I know that something is wrong
I''ve been it, I''ve lived it
But now I know - my schizophrenia is gone

Feel like I''m trapped between two worlds
The doors are locked in either ways
I can hear my echo but there are no walls
A sick brain in a tortured host

I''ve seen it, believed it
But deep inside I know that something is wrong
I''ve been it, I''ve lived it
But now I know - my schizophrenia is gone
But I have kept talking
Not a soul is listening but me

Starving inside
Dreaming of life

Is my soul at a resting point?
Feels like I''m being torn apart

Is my soul at a resting point?
Feels like I''m being torn apart
Apart!
Apart!
Apart!

04. Delusion Of Life

Turn the sail after the wind
You take the easy way out
Make the trend to your believe
A follower in all needs

Your lack of independence
Shows your real face
A wannabe
Why do you refuse to see?

You hide your face in your hands
Your life is a delusion!

Scared to face reality
You wear your mask
How can you still your hunger?
This way you never will

You hide your face in your hands
Your emotions are flattening
You're running cowardly with the herd
Your life is a delusion!

You hide your face in your hands
Your emotions are flattening
You're running cowardly with the herd
Your life is a delusion!

If god were in you'd be a priest
It's your soul that's leaking
Ever wanted to be a leader?
This way out you'll never win!

You hide your face in your hands
Your emotions are flattening
You're running cowardly with the herd
Your life is a delusion!

05. Haterush

Freedom with a gunshot wound
You like to take it
Know what your pay is for
Ever tasted?
The pounding breath of war
Don't you feel it?

The hatred's turned on you
The hatred's turned on you
The hatred grows in you

You're a freak, just like others
But you are weak,
To break the strings that holds you
You would like to have it
The strength to control all
Don't you know it

The target is aimed at you
The target is aimed at you
You are the target now

You need to feel it
Adrenaline rush of war
You need to feed it
The need to hate some more
The need to hate some more

You feel your wings are spreading out
A sense of freedom
You feel gods hands reaching down
You're a believer

Reason, over control
Can't find you heaven
And let your har ashore
You like to hate us
This time you'll flood us all
We all know it

This time you will lose control
This time you loose it all

You need to feel it
Adrenaline rush of war
You need to feed it
The need to hate some more

You need to feel it
Adrenaline rush of war
You need to feed it
The need to hate

06. Cellbound

Fear of living - afraid of dying
I fall deeper into my insanity
Tied to the ground
By the chains of this life

I'm doing my time

Screaming inside of my cell
Burning in my personal hell
I must be set free 'cause I'm burning up inside
This cage is far too small to find a place to hide

Trying to find a way out
Trapped in this cage forever more
Spellbound by my own little demon

I'm doing my time

Screaming inside of my cell
Burning in my personal hell
I must be set free 'cause I'm burning up inside
This cage is far too small to find a place to hide

[Solo]

Screaming inside of my cell
Burning in my personal hell
I must be set free 'cause I'm burning up inside
This cage is far too small to find a place to hide

I'm "cellbound"
I'm "cellbound"
I'm "cellbound"

07. Wounds

I run to hide from myself
But I can't stray from the path
I hide, in my dreams I'm free
To cleanse my guilt? bleeding

I search deep in my mind
To find the answers? to satisfy
I need my fuel injection
To get the needles deeper within

My wounds are turning inside-out
I need to get out of this body

I fight a battle within me
To lose is to die and to win is to lose
I lie to myself and to others
A perfect life? -Yeah, a perfect lie

I smile but inside I'm drowning
I hold my breath as I slip away
I burn, my veins are on fire
A burning pleasure a deadly lust

My wounds are turning inside-out
I need to get out of this body

There's a shadow following me
I feel the walls cave in behind me
I am shadow of my former self
I've trapped myself in this shell of guilt

I search deep in my mind
To find the answers? to satisfy
I need my fuel injection
To get the needles deeper within


The room keeps spinning faster? faster
No more waiting, no more hiding
This time my dreams will last forever

My wounds are turning inside-out
I need to get out of this body

There's a shadow following me
I feel the walls cave in behind me
I am shadow of my former self
I've trapped myself in this shell of guilt

08. Abducted Intelligence

What do we know about our past?
Abducted souls in cold script-stone
Buildings, structures - visions or insanity?
A past abducted?

Out past abducted, vanished in the ruins
Our past rejected, a greater mind disconnected

Knowledge, intelligence selflearned and forgotten
Ancient scripts of a future civilization?
Hieroglyphs speaking have forgotten intelligence
A past rejected?

Out past abducted, vanished in the ruins
Our past rejected, a greater mind disconnected


Our past forgotten - abducted intelligence!

Out past abducted, vanished in the ruins
Our past rejected, a greater mind disconnected

Are you afraid of what the truth might say?
To dig up science instead of graves?
Supreme intelligence greater than all
Our past reflected?

Out past abducted, vanished in the ruins
Our past rejected, a greater mind disconnected

09. ...And The Truth Is Lies

Lock me up from the rest of the world
But I'm alive inside my head
Never to tell the world what went wrong
Only to save themselves

(A hostile humanity)

They make the truth, but the truth is lie
Unleash a lie that will hold me down
They pin me down with their demon eyes
The truth is lie, and will never let me out

I'm an experiment, a failure of science
Hidden from the world
My world is in me, inside these walls
At least I'm not immortal

(The truth lies buried within me)

They make the truth, but the truth is lie
Unleash a lie that will hold me down
They pin me down with their demon eyes
The truth is lie, and will never let me out

(?and yet I'm not dead? I wish I was)

They make the truth, but the truth is lie
Unleash a lie that will hold me down
They pin me down with their demon eyes
The truth is lie, and will never let me out


They make the truth, but the truth is lie
Unleash a lie that will hold me down
They pin me down with their demon eyes
The truth is lie, and will never let me out

I do not exist, I do not live
Don't even know if this is real
I do not exist, I do not live
I would rather die

10. Motorbreath

Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

Motorbreath
Its how I live my life
I can't take it any other way
Motorbreath
The sign of living fast
It is going to take
Your breath away

Don't stop for nothing its full speed or nothing
I am taking down you know whatever is in my way
Getting your kicks as you are shooting the line
Sending the shivers up and down your spine

Motorbreath
Its how I live my life
I can't take it any other way
Motorbreath
The sign of living fast
It is going to take
Your breath away

Those people who tell you not to take chances
They are all missing on what life is about
You only live once so take hold of the chance
Don't end up like others the same song and dance

Motorbreath
Its how I live my life
I can't take it any other way
Motorbreath
The sign of living fast
It is going to take
Your breath away
