01. The Moribund Choir Vs. The Trumpets Of Armageddon

Instrumental

02. Martyr To Science

Congratulations my little friends
You have the chance to become a martyr to science
A hungry man has no conscience
And I badly hunger for innovations to save mankind
It's not the lust to kill or torture
But what is your life worth, compared to millions

Swallow these pills
Shoot me to fame
While you meet your end

That's one small step for you
But could become a leap for mankind
And who cares about some dead bugs
On our verminous rotten planet

Once unimpressive
Don't be afraid
I will give your life a sense

Take the injections, martyr to science
Be a part of the progression, martyr to science
While your tumor is pounding, it's just uniqueness you feel
Your death is our future, we are reinventing the wheel

Your little brains can just not comprehend
It's all about business and not about commiseration
Immunizations already cure generations
So come out of your cage
It's time to take the final deathblow

Take the injections, martyr to science
Be a part of the progression, martyr to science
While your tumor is pounding, it's just uniqueness you feel
Your death is our future, we are reinventing the wheel

Mankind needs money, research and control
And all the non-human beings play a minor role
Transmitting our diseases to lovely and innocent beings

Watching them suffer
Is the most horrible idea
But maybe perversion
Is the only cure for our plagues

Take the injections, martyr to science
Be a part of the progression, martyr to science
While your tumor is pounding, it's just uniqueness you feel
Your death is our future, we are reinventing the wheel

03. Slaughter's Palace

Time to tell you how became
A master in the most delicious trade

To be honest, I did not like to go to school
And I was not any good at it either
I did not have any friends or things to do
So I assisted my dad and soon I fell in love

With the art to be butcher by the tender age of 14

Come in, come in
And you will never find a way out
At least not in one piece

All that innocent and lovely flesh suppliers
Running into my abattoir
Don't know what they have to expect
Don't know what they have to expect
Hahahaha!

Their one way ticket to hell
Always lead them to a sanguinary end
But that's just the normal way of life
Because one man's meat is another one's poison

Come in, come in
And become a part in my work
In the truest sense of the word

Don't blame me for killing animals
Because cattle is only raised to be part of our food chain
No cows or pigs could soil in our stables
If we would not take care for them

Their one way ticket to hell
Always lead them to a sanguinary end
But that's just the normal way of life
Because one man's meat is another one's poison

But if we really get back what we have done
I hope I won't die by a correctly applied captive bolt gun

04. The Brave / Agony Applause

I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance at the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene

Far away from my home, caged behind rusty bars
Beaten and mortified, you're shouting and cheering
Would forever fall silent
You would be ashamed of clapping your hands

I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance at the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene

Dear spectators I'm coming from the boondocks
To your wilderness of mirrors
Pretending to be dangerous and unpredictable
But look into my eyes

And all you will see
Is frustration and fear
Disappointment about man
Creation's crowning glory

But now it's time to go once again
March us prisoners off, rush to the trucks
Cause the next town is waiting for our show
Let our agony and torment entertain you

I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance at the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene

I accept the agony applause
Brave as I am
An insane dance at the brink of death
In your circus of the obscene

05. Deathrace

Driving a truck was always my dream
King of the road letting off steam
Follow me while I check the truckload
Call me the master of life and death

Join the deathrace, come on

Hear their excited groaning
Which turns to painful screams
When I start my powerful engine

I am the king of the road
With my moribund load
Their torment, pain and fear
Makes me drive in top gear

Where is the fucking difference
Between a living load and normal cargo
Arriving on schedule
Means getting paid punctually

Don't blame me for being one of the first parts
Of mankinds insane catering monstrosity
I just laugh about these pseudo guardian angels
That think they could change our world

I am the king of the road
With my moribund load
Their torment, pain and fear
Makes me drive in top gear

If they could what should they pray for?
Dying in my truck on the road or in the abattoir
The ones condemned to death
Have not a single chance to win this race, this race

Cattle crossing, keep silent
Man fated to be tyrant
No mercy, no barrier
Express cattle carrier

Animals can't speak but we can...

Look at the peak of evolution the food chain leader
Looking like the freight that he's chauffeuring to eat up
Ain't that some wack shit rolling to the shambles
Acting as a cab bitch slaying loads of animals
Imagine you all was cannibals and mankind the cattle dude
Locked up in a box small enough to get in rampage mood
I fucking disagree with the price and the fee
That these beings have got to pay
So we can feast and fucking eat
I'm one with all fauna the animal persona
Raw and distinctive the beast master warned you all
Keep roughhousing and I will be the karma
For acting too supreme make me have to armour up
Testing chemicals and genocide to foreign species
Acts of our society so sick son believe me
We got to keep it real how the fuck would it feel
Locked all ya life behind rolling bars of steel

This is a story about this man in a slaughter house
Took me on tour and showed me all his whereabouts
And in my lurking doubts
He starts to light a cigarette
And starts drinking on a genuisstot
You greenpeace fools we handle your food
And if you like fast food
Here's some examples for you
Livestock cows in dead, destroyed milk
They use burger king meat
What they feed to the streets
No time to negotiate
Blood fills their death
When their alive when they breathe they lungs aspirate
You like veil, this will spoil your meal
The baby confined to no light and food and that's real
Respect to Islam for eating no swine
Here's some waist pits we use to feed them there time to time
He expressed no pain for four weeks pain a cut in the juggler-vain
Is something yo, I can't explain

06. Fire At Will

Me and my family love roaming the woods
It's all about hunting, live, learn and play
But it's not easy being a hunter these fucking days
We have to find new excuses for our madness every day

Should I ever kill an animal without a reason
I will quickly fake up a new hunting season

Deep in the woods, I am the law
Man against nature, that's my war
Seek, aim and kill
Fire at will!

Under the cloak of tradition
An executing mission
Seek, aim and kill
Fire at will!

There are so many of them
They need some killing
My instinct tells me to

And their heads make a good trophy, don't they?
Okay, I kill for fun and amusement
But don't blame it all on me

Because I am not the only and by far
Not the most vicious creator of misery

Wait, quiet now, shut up
I hear something coming

Thank you god
Finally I will get my trophy

It is time for a shot now
A shot for glory
My god made me kill
My own daughter Sophie

Deep in the woods, I am the law
Seek, aim and kill
Fire at will!

Under the cloak of tradition
An executing mission
Seek, aim and kill
Fire at will!

Deep in the woods, I am the law
Man against nature, that is my war
Seek, aim and kill
Fire at will!

Mankind is made for hunting
And that is all we do
Seek, aim and kill
Fire at will!

07. Seal Slayer

Comrades come on, enter the boat
We are about to start the hunt of our lives
Comrades come on, the hunt is on
Let's get us some dead corpses

Hunt down the weak, predators of the sea
Oh, it's my life and I am proud of it
Comrades come on, the hunt is on
Let's start a massacre on the open ice

I still remember killing for the first time
I must have hit it one hundred times
And the snow turned red all over
It's a fucking pleasure flying the flags of my fathers

Respect the sea, respect the ice
For they are stronger than we are
And my son will soon be a hunter
This violence is perpetual

Comrades come on, enter the boat
We are about to start the hunt of our lives
Comrades come on, the hunt is on
Let's get us some dead corpses

Hunt down the weak, predators of the sea
Oh, it's my life and I am proud of it
Comrades come on, the hunt is on
Let's start a massacre on the open ice

Don't tell me we are cruel, while our children
Are being killed every day, homicide
And now you will tell me that anybody cares
About these babies being massacred in a barbaric slaughter

Respect the sea, respect the ice
For they are stronger than we are
And my son will soon be a hunter
This violence is perpetual

As long I will be, our tradition will continue

Kill, kill, kill...

Hunt down the weak
As long as I shall live

Now, die

As long as there is no law against the hunt
And the animals don't speak
With a cruel blow to the top of the head
We will kill and hunt down the weak
If he who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind
Doom will soon await us

08. Manifesto

Instrumental

09. Dying Breed

No instrument of torture, no weapon
Not any fucking technical horrible machine
Can put the disaster to the next level
Evocation of Armageddon

All that we can kill, has been killed before
In every single possible way

Humanity is always innovation
Improvement of a controlled
And dominated creation
Our breed has been elected

No instrument of torture, no weapon
Not any fucking technical horrible machine
Can put the disaster to the next level
Evocation of Armageddon

All that we can kill, has been killed before
Even in the most unimaginable perverted ways

Humanity is always innovation
Improvement of a controlled
And dominated creation
Our breed has been elected

Pain isn't what it was anymore
Rape somebody, kill a child, an awful bore
Pain has to be reinvented, putting murder and violation
On a higher non-human level, to become godlike

Humanity is always innovation
Improvement of a controlled
And dominated creation
Our breed has been elected
To become social neglected

Humanity is always innovation
Improvement of a controlled
And dominated creation
Our breed has been elected

Humanity is always innovation
Improvement of a controlled
And dominated creation
Our breed has been elected

Megalomania is creation
Extremism loved to distraction
Altruism is forced to rest
Such a sorrowful
A sorrowful manifest
For the dying breed
We are the dying breed

10. Altruism

What have we done, where do we want to go?
The city sleeps forever
It slithers away as we speak
And we tell ourselves to deny it

Their lies dominate our inner eyes
While the sounds of laughter shake our dying earth

We can't count on our old brothers
We know tomorrow brings consequence
But didn't we tell ourselves to deny it?

Their lies dominate our inner eyes
While the sounds of laughter shake our dying earth

We meander ourselves through our daily lives
Why do we have to be tortured for all the lies?

Humility it's creation
Altruism and freedom
Rethink traditions at last
Let this be our manifest

Their lies dominate our inner eyes
While the sounds of laughter shake our dying earth

11. Temple Of Love

Oh, temple of love

In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love
Temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love
Temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love
Temple of love, hear my calling
In the temple of love
Temple of love, hear my name

With the sunlight died and the night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside

You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another it's all the same
For the wind will blow
And throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder, cry like rain

And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows longer cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before
This black wind calls my name to you no more

Oh, temple of love

In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar

All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust
And only air remains

In the temple of love
Temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love
Temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love
Temple of love, hear my calling
And the temple of love
Temple of love is falling down
