01. Mother Of All Lies

State of the nation is at play
We'll keep the crisis bad at bay
We'll bring you growth and prosperity
Restore financial stability
And then they tax you to your knees

Can't you see
They are twisting our reality
Never practice what they preach
I'm tellin you
We're witnessing the mother of all lies
Powerwhore's and presidents
Breaking down our confidence
Fooled again
We're witnessing the mother of all lies

We'll shape the perfect world design
Reduce the unemployment lines
Secure the rights for minorities
Your health will be our priority
Then leave you dying in the streets

Can't you see
They are twisting our reality
Never practice what they preach
I'm tellin you
We're witnessing the mother of all lies
Powerwhore's and presidents
Breaking down our confidence
Fooled again
We're witnessing the mother of all lies

Stand up to the truth
Your thoughts are disillusioned
We're fed up, we're full
Don't need your bull, no more
Fed up we're full
We won't take anymore

Can't you see
They are twisting our reality
Never practice what they preach
I'm tellin you
We're witnessing the mother of all lies
Powerwhore's and presidents
Breaking down our confidence
Fooled again
We're witnessing the mother of all lies

02. To Fool A Natio

Under the surface there are snakes in
Paradise they're breeding
We don't know who or where but evil
Multiplies we can't see them, oh no
In time

Sickened fascist frame of mind
Ticking bomb on borrowed time
Psychopathic undivine
Never see the danger signs

Rage hard shoot em' dead
Right wing radical dead in the head
All planned the stage is set
Xenophobic manifest

To fool a nation
There are friendly enemies
To fool a nation
And they can't be seen

Armed and ready sleeping cells
Trained to unleash living hell
Waiting for their call to kill
Death to all the infidels

Terrorize without resent
Sitting ducks no defense
Chaos stricken government
Blood of the innocent

To fool a nation
There are friendly enemies
To fool a nation
And they can't be seen

The rage goes stronger day by day
The legacy of hate lives on
The devil has so many faces
We gotta face him and be strong

03. Confession

I found out that,
if you hurt somebody...
They'll leave you alone.
Good guys do finish last!

I shouldn't have done it that way
I don't think about it...
If I think about it, it will wind up hurting me...
so I don't think about it.

If I had a choise, I would like to be different than what I am...
but I can't change yesterday...

04. The Iceman

Aah I pick my prey by random
I kill without compassion
I feast on flesh and blood
The contract pays the bills
The constant need to kill
You´ll bleed and be left to rot

With no remorse and no regrets
I´ll make you suffer til you´re dead
The devil´s right hand

I´m comin´ to destroy ya
The iceman´s comin´ for ya
Evil is my truth
I´m malice hate and horror
I´ll cause you pain and torture
Hell awaits for you

I come out loose and leathal
Impersonating evil
I rage in a violent haze
Avenger of all darkness
The messenger of death
Inhuman and depraved

There ain´t no mercy to your pleas
The last thing you see will be me
In your dying hour aah

I´m comin´ to destroy ya
The iceman´s comin´ for ya
Evil is my truth
I´m malice hate and horror
I´ll cause you pain and torture
Hell awaits you

Blessed by the devil
Abandoned by God
Cursed is my blackened soul
Your pain is my pleasure
The hunger for blood
Watching your body grows cold

I´m comin´ to destroy ya
The iceman´s comin´ for ya
Evil is my truth
I´m malice hate and horror
I´ll cause you pain and torture
Hell awaits for you
You cannot run

05. Sad To See You Suffer

My dyin´ angel
Where´s the smile I used to see
You seem so strange
Can´t feel that spark that used to be
An uphill climbin´
Like a never endin´ stairway
The sun don´t shine for you anymore

It makes me sad to see you suffer
I really hate to see those tears
If I could I´d be your cover
From the world you seem to fear
Sad to see you suffer
Wish I could heal the pain away
I´m sad to see you suffer another day

How can I touch the world
That lies behind your eyes
I cannot comprehend
How deep the bullet lies
Wish I could break the chain of pain
That seems to bind you
And make you feel whole again

It makes me sad to see you suffer
I really hate to see those tears
If I could I´d be your cover
From the world you seem to fear
Sad to see you suffer
Wish I could heal the pain away
I´m sad to see you suffer another day

If I could chase away the demons
In your everyday hell
Give you some belief
If I could break the spell
I would stay strong
When your mind is weak
Be there all along
When you´re in to deep oh

It´s so sad to see you suffer
I really hate to see those tears
If I could I´d be your cover
From the world you seem to fear
Sad to see you suffer
Wish I could heal the pain away
I´m sad to see you suffer another day

Oh yeah sad to see you suffer
I hate to see those tears
Girl I´d be your cover
From the world you seem to fear
Sad to see you suffer
I hate to see those tears
I really hate to see those tears
Girl I´d be your cover
From the world you seem to fear

I´m sad to see you suffer
Sad to see you suffer
I´m sad to see you suffer
Sad to see you suffer

06. Hooligan

Hate infested deep inside
An inner rage that never dies
it is you against the world
It's the pain that whips your soul
Let's the agony unfold
Spawns the violent need to hurt
Somebody

Hooligan hooligan
Never show no mercy
Hooligan hooligan
Another deadly stab
Hooligan hooligan
Just another hatebreed
Hooligan hooligan
Now you hate em' back

Down right hostile to the core
Man lies bleeding on the floor
Another splash of flesh and bone
Still the dagger in your hand
Drives the wraith inside the man
I see hatred in those stone cold blood-shot eyes

Hooligan hooligan
Never show no mercy
Hooligan hooligan
Another deadly stab
Hooligan hooligan
Just another hatebreed
Hooligan hooligan
Now you hate em' back

You don't belong
You don't fit in
Devoid of emotions
Your world is numb
Forgotten son
Now your heart bleeds for no one

07. Infinity

I sense I feel
A love so mighty real
Intense
The strength of unity
I kiss I touch
Obey to all my lust for you

We'll never let it slip away
Let this feeling go
You know our star will never fade
Never loose the glow
We let our hearts and souls
Engage eternally
Into infinity

You shine your bliss
Eclipse the loneliness
And the scent of beauty fills the room
This sweet abounding grace
Confides my truly faith in you

We'll never let it slip away
Let this feeling go
You know our star will never fade
Never loose the glow
We let our hearts and souls
Engage eternally
Into infinity

This love is shining brighter than a thousand suns
Now nothing can divide us or change the path we're on

I feel, touch
Obey to lust

08. Why So Serious

I can't deny the child inside
I got to feel the strong beat of my life still pulsing
Some things in life you can not hide
I don't need prejustice or other people judging me

I can't renounce to what I am
For I am just a man

Who do the things that i do
Live the life I want to
And why does that provoke you
And why so serious

Am I so different to yourself
I've had my misdemeanors did my share of failures
You find me irresponsible
Now what give you the right to question my behavior

You're much too blind to see
It's my reality

I do the things that I do
Live the life I want to
And why does that provoke you
And why so serious
It takes Hell to hold me
And no one can control me
And you don't see what I see
So why so serious

Who do the things that i do
Live the life I want to
And why does that provoke you
And why so serious

09. Motherland

I'll stand my ground
Protect you with all my life
For all I'm allowed
I'd pay the ultimate price

And with strength and honor
Defend

I praise you
I'll never ever betray you
Pledge my allegiance to save you
You are my soul you're my
Motherland

I'd die a martyr
I'm born in the land of the free
In the name of my father
I'd kill for the freedom of speech

And I, I'll bow to no one at all
I'll fight till I fall

I praise you
I'll never ever betray you
Pledge my allegiance to save you
You are my soul you're my
Motherland

I've seen the tears of the world
Oppression and pain as I'm watchin it burn
I'm blessed and I kneel to the flag
And return
To you motherland

I praise you
I'll never ever betray you
Pledge my allegiance to save you
You are my soul you're my
Motherland

10. I See Ghosts

I feel so insecure of those I walk among
I see potential threats in each and everyone

Sometimes it feels like the world is my enemy
Edge of insanity

I see ghosts
i see ghosts
in every corner of my eye
I see ghosts

This maniac phobia black sky is all I see
And my suspiciousness is slowly killing me

Everywhere that I go I feel somebody's stalking me
Twisted reality

I see ghosts
i see ghosts
in every corner of my eye
I see ghosts

Persecuted by the hounds of Hell
It goes on forever

I see ghosts
i see ghosts
in every corner of my eye
I see ghosts

11. Bullet For You

Enter my heart
I beg for you girl
Come be the spark
That light up my world
Let's drown in a dream
Let me hear you say yes
That's all that I need
The message I miss

Risk your emotions
It's all open wide
And I'll be your soulmate
Right by your side
I'll be there for you baby
When the darkness falls
Come to your rescue
Whenever you call

Baby I'll be your rock
Your knight shining armor
Girl there is not a thing
That I wouldn't do
Nothing can stop
This fire in my heart and
You know that it's true
I'd take a bullet for you

Let's fall into
Something divine
A moment with you
Is like a thrill of a lifetime
Let's take this chance
This feeling so strong
Pledge our romance
And melt into one

Baby I'll be your rock
Your knight shining armor
Girl there is not a thing
That I wouldn't do
Nothing can stop
This fire in my heart and
You know that it's true
I'd take a bullet for you

12. Who What Where When Why

You paint me a portrait
Trying to sell me a dream
Your words are all fraud
Yet you're taking advantage of me
You feed my desires
Throw me a light in the dark
Legitimate liars
Prey on a fool with a heart
You are!

Who are you talking to
What are you gonna do
Where do you lead us from here
When do you drop the bomb
Why do you speak in tongues
When does the magic appear

All the corruption
And freedom for nothing they say
War and destruction
Blood and injustice
Just leave us in dismay
The fall of a system
Fuel to my vision
They're fake
Causing our downfall
How long must we tolerate
Them all

Who are you talking to
What are you gonna do
Where do you lead us from here
When do you drop the bomb
Why do you speak in tongues
When does the magic appear

We're all deceived
The broken creed
The need for greed
That feed the swines
It's so pathetic
For your vote they're beggin
The hypocrites
They lead in blind

Who are you talking to
What are you gonna do
Where do you lead us from here
When do you drop the bomb
Why do you speak in tongues
When does the magic appear

13. Wasted

So here we stand like
Despondent refugees
Our love has stranded like a
Ship to shore
What's nothing to you still
Means everything to me
And the final words cut me
To the core

If it's over
Then it's over

If all the time we had was wasted
If all the love we had is lost
If all the purity
We had for you and me
Is wasted

Though I found heaven
In the sparkle from your eyes
Felt like king for a day
But I was a fool for the night
And since you left me
With all the wreckage from the past
The bitterness somehow
Always seems to last

If all the time we had was wasted
If all the love we had is lost
If all the purity
We had for you and me
Is wasted

I got to face it babe
The magic has gone
i have to clean the slate
Its over and done, I know

If all the time we had was wasted
If all the love we had is lost
If all the purity
We had for you and me
Is wasted
