01. The Face Of Fear

The world is gonna fall
Out time already up
We sucked and dried it out

Our hunger is so grand
Of poison fill my cup
I drink from the well

Under crimson skies
Our hopes and dreams they die
This reality - why can't we see?

We burn in misery
With parched and ashen face
With politics of greed

We leave a heritage
Of poverty and pain
We bathe in poison rain

Under crimson skies
Our hopes and dreams they die
This reality - why can't we see?

No heeding the signs
No wait for tomorrow
Read between the lines
The face of fear

Disease must be erased
The trials that we face
Miasma amber mist

They see the face of fear
It whispers in your ear
It all will end in tears

Under crimson skies
Our hopes and dreams they die
This reality - why can't we see?

No heeding the signs
No wait for tomorrow
Read between the lines
The face of fear

A monster in a dream
Our nightmare is really here
I see the face of fear

It rears its ugly head
Our future in a cask
The scary phantom mask

Under crimson skies
Our hopes and dreams they die
This reality - why can't we see?

No heeding the signs
No wait for tomorrow
Read between the lines

The face of fear, the face of fear
The face of fear, the face of fear

02. Crossroads To Conspiracy

I'm trapped inside this nightmare
Future but a memory
Shackled by the bad choices
Frozen in words I said

Crossroads to conspiracy
Future holds but misery
Crossroads to conspiracy
Future holds but misery

It burns inside of my brain
And freezes all of my heart
It leaves my feelings all long gone
Darkens all of my mind

Crossroads to conspiracy
Future holds but misery
Crossroads to conspiracy
Future holds but misery

Backstabbing, subterfuge made the first law
Nowhere to rest these weary bones
Close my eyes and close my own mind
There is nothing left for me now

Crossroads to conspiracy
Future holds but misery
Crossroads to conspiracy
Future holds but misery

03. New Rage

Curse me now spit on my name
You shall see what soon will be

A sick situation force guilt upon me
A knife in my heart twisting it just cos' you can

So, face my wrath no hold upon me
I take such pity you are a joke

New rage - you are the fuel cold fuel of my hate
New rage - forgiveness will come come too late

This mess you created I frown upon you
This hurt by your hand why is it that you can't see

New rage - you are the fuel cold fuel of my hate
New rage - forgiveness will come come too late

So now you must go no sorry for you
Goodbye and farewell bless me by being gone

New rage - you are the fuel cold fuel of my hate
New rage - forgiveness will come come too late

04. Sworn Utopia

Reading in books and searching the skies
Chanting cabala, agreeing on lies
Holding your hands and shaking your legs
Speaking the truth while you're bowing your necks

Litany, rites and altars of confession
Curse of the cloth, mind in recession
Forbidding walls, the selected few
Unity fear, oh what can you do

Sworn utopia - faith put to all the test
Sworn utopia - your saviours next

Your laws religion, dogmatic and vile
Imprison mankind, remain like a child
You must stay absent from glory and joy
Give up on Him, oh my altar boy

Sworn utopia - faith put to all the test
Sworn utopia - your saviours next

You must think you know it all
I know that you must fall

For all I care - make your peace
But don't you take it - it out on kids

Reading in books and searching the skies
Chanting cabala, agreeing on lies
Holding your hands and shaking your legs
Speaking the truth while you're bowing your necks

05. Through The Ages Of Atrocity

A little bit roughed up
A tiny bit broken down
A small crack spreading

Running on fumes of fear
Voices in your ears
Your soul is numb and jaded

For endless seasons
In eternal years
Those close to you

Humiliation
Goes on and on and on
Leaves you pretty gone

Through the ages of atrocity - now you shall see
Through the ages of atrocity - now you are next

Suppression of you
Forever chained
The power that may be

Time to face the facts
You know it's gonna last
Give it all you got

Through the ages of atrocity - now you shall see
Through the ages of atrocity - now you are next

A hope that lies
Make friends with the ground

Gasoline breath
Ritual of death
Faded with a grace

Through the ages of atrocity - now you shall see
Through the ages of atrocity - now you are next

06. Thirst For The Worst

Ferrying across the ocean of waste and debris
My feet touch the water, smeared with grime
I close my eyes and hear the mourning echoes
Of a world we took for granted and for naught

How can we live and breathe also be what we are
Presence is a mockery to all that is good
We clad ourselves in robes of disgrace and vanity
Visions of the light made through forests afire

We drink forever
We eat and swallow
We drink holy water
We have a thirst for the worst

Treading underfoot, shame is our name
Kill without redemption, murder is our game
Polluting and abusing, consume with gluttony
Forcing and bending with nauseous foolery

We drink forever
We eat and swallow
We drink Holy water
We have a thirst for the worst

Man's a disease, their leaders are the worst
We poison our minds, needs put at the first
Artificial deserts with a thirst
We are a curse - thirst for the worst

We drink forever
We eat and swallow
We drink Holy water
We have a thirst for the worst

07. Pain

Sitting here alone in the dark
Feel the fear come creeping
I've got no future, I'm caught in the past
My time is getting nearer

But I can change the way that I've been living
It's all over now
So I have lost and time is running out
It's too late to regret

Sitting here, been drinking all night
All my friends they have gone
I never listened to what they said
And now I'm paying the price

But I can change the way that I've been living
It's all over now
So I have lost and time is running out
It's too late to regret

Pain
Pain
It drives me insane
I'm only living for today
Pain
Pain
It runs through my veins
I'm only waiting to die

Sitting here and falling apart
No one can help me now
Death is calling, it's calling my name
I'm gonna meet my maker

Pain
Pain
It drives me insane
I'm only living for today
Pain
Pain
It runs through my veins
I'm only waiting to die

Pain

Pain
Pain
It drives me insane
I'm only living for today
Pain
Pain
It runs through my veins
I'm only waiting to die

I only live for today
I only live for today

08. Under Water

[Instrumental]

09. Preaching To The Converted

Their eyes they see, their feelings they are numb
Their heart asleep, they fake it to the bone
Twisted and burning they worship the race
Broken and turning their minds are a haze

Their bones like lead, slaves to the law
The future is dead, rotten to the core
Sacrifice all that you really hold dear
Your love and belief made way to the fear

Preach - preach to them - to the converted
Feed - feed them lies

Their hands in shackles, curse of government
Their bodies like vessels, nightmare till the end
Hopelessly sighing the ending is near
Only integrity left is your tears

Preach - preach to them - to the converted
Feed - feed them lies

No more a warning, but blind reality
Our children enslaved, path of fatality
Backstabbing, lying, you miserable shit
You took our lives, now be done with it

Preach - preach to them - to the converted
Feed - feed them lies
Preach - preach to them - to the converted
Feed - feed them lies

10. Mind Of No Return

Cold black night and no damn lights
My shadow is screaming
Hard sad saints and bad bad brains
The essence of evil

They've taken control - I'm losing my soul
They're forcing my down - I can't get around

Mad mad days and heavy iron gates
I'm alone in the night
Got no plan like a stray cat
I'm sneakin' in the alley

They've taken control - I'm losing my soul
They're forcing my down - I can't get around

They are coming to take me away
Forcing my body to stay
My mind is still far away
Killing my soul everyday

They are coming to take me away
Forcing my body to stay
My mind is still far away
Killing my soul everyday

Watch the slapping, foots clacking
My lips are stocking
Shades examples and color rainbows
So what can I do

They've taken control - I'm losing my soul
They're forcing my down - I can't get around

They are coming to take me away
Forcing my body to stay

My mind is still far away
Killing my soul everyday

Got to go, escape this fucking place
When the daylight breaks through
It ain't no life being a bum
Got to be on the run

They've taken control - I'm losing my soul
They're forcing my down - I can't get around

They are coming to take me away
Forcing my body to stay
My mind is still far away
Killing my soul everyday

11. Doctor Evil

Caught in war time trapped forever
Hope for justice never, never
In the wrong place at the wrong time
All your pleading no one gives a damn

Lost forever thrown away
No one helps you time to start to pray

Left to rot there not forgotten
They will call for Doctor Rotten
He can make you tell your story
Even if there's none to tell

Try to stop it tell the truth
Get much deeper
It's hopeless, hopeless

Pain - Torture - Breakdown
Alive - Dead - No difference

You're already, already doomed
But the doctor hasn't finished yet
Your just living just a living wreck
But the doctor hasn't finished yet

Pain - Torture - Breakdown
Alive - Dead - No difference

You don't want to mess
With Doctor Evil
He'll make your life a living hell
He'll never stop his endless torture
Manipulates all your cells

Caught in war time trapped forever
Hope for justice never, never
In the wrong place at the wrong time
All your pleading no one gives a damn

Lost forever thrown away
No one helps you time to start to pray

You're damned, damned if you talk
And damned, damned If you don't
Hopeless situation
You're damned, damned if you talk

Pain - Torture - Breakdown
Alive - Dead - No difference

You don't want to mess
With Doctor Evil
He'll make your life a living hell
He'll never stop his endless torture
Manipulates all your cells

Caught in war time trapped forever
Hope for justice never, never
In the wrong place at the wrong time
All your pleading no one gives a damn

Lost forever - Thrown away
No one helps you - Time to start to pray

You're damned, damned if you talk
And damned, damned if you don't
Hopeless situation
You're damned, damned if you talk

Pain - Torture - Breakdown
Alive - Dead - No difference

You don't want to mess
With Doctor Evil
He'll make your life a living hell
He'll never stop his endless torture
Manipulates all your cells
