Cenotaph
07:07
|
|||
|
A monument built on ashes
Black carbon traces in the snow
All lenses fixed to cast the white light
A final image taken by your dying eyes
While we rest in frozen waters
The fires of the broken splinters burn
We were never meant to step on ancient ground
Flying too close to hear the foghorn’s sound
A cenotaph beneath the dead white
Don’t come too close just one more time
Our souls are trapped in this cold hell
No one will leave just time will tell
We won’t rest in our burnt bodies
Condemned to wander this white desert
A cenotaph beneath the dead white
Please come close just one more time
Your soul’s is trapped in our cold hell
No one will leave just time will tell
The fractured splinters will drag you down to us
While your breath will freeze, your soul we break apart
Why am I here in this silence of light and ice?
And feel empty if everything dies?
I’m left behind without meaning or faith
Get me out of my darkness before it’s too late

Stigmata
05:37
|
|||
|
We are free – scintillating
All born human and not equal
Full of fear of a maker
Who is foul and dead inside
Inside you is meaning
How to decide your fate and will
Inside you is power
To hold up faith in your own self
Inside you a god
With will to conquer all in sight
Inside you is Satan
Your own free will to set all ablaze
We’re the resistance of the thinking men
To set ablaze all the lies again
We are of science with no borders set
Conquer horizons beyond the realm of death
Deceivers
Under the cross the wolves shall wait
The hypocrites
The way of the cross deceides our fate?
Dead silence! This god is deaf to your own words
In torture! This god will answer in pain and grief
I am no servant to royal blood – or the emperor’s throne
I am a master to my life and all around

The Silence
04:45

|
-1-
The sea abandoned us – just like the moon and stars
The sun has broken to pieces
A raging sonic storm –through hell it was reborn
In waves of crushing fury
As liquid fire and its thousand servants
Have come to reap our souls abandoned
We’ve lost the way to hear all that we couln’t see
Neptune’s revenge will set us free
-Ref-
Lay beside me – loosen life’s grip
This is our final moment
Tell me you love me – for one final time
Keep your eyes shut – as darkness storms at us
Our fortress will fall to the waves
For all that has been – in silence there’s nothing left
-2-
The time we saw it come – there was no place to run
The waves have come for their feast
Lovers embrace their kin – like they could save their skin
In waves of crushing silence
-Ref-
Lay beside me – loosen life’s grip
This is our final moment
Tell me you love me – for one final time
Hold your breath now – night falls upon us
This is our finest hour
As moments fly by – monuments in time

Shadow of the empire
80er Teil -1-
Deep in the mainland
Our future awaits
The bear splits the atoms
To enlight our faith
We’re waiting in line
Just to witness it all
To harvest a force
That is our curtain call
Ref:
And all of our dreams
And all of our prayers
Are left in the dark
Beneath the red star
And all of our lives
What we aim to be
Our glorious nation
Will last eternally
Theme
All we were
All we will be
Lies in the hands
Of the force in front of me
On this day
We plant the seed
To nurture earth
With infinite energy
Ibiza Teil
SAMPLE
What have I done to prevent it?
To change the course of time
As history repeats it all again
As I receive the party’s last orders
To keep calm and deny it all
As the cloud passes our borders
Spreads from the kremlin to the Berlin wall
Shall I remain calm towards the end – for the sake of a brighter day?
Or shall I tear down the day for an endless night - to comfort my fear of light?
As I fight my will and sanity in defence against their voice
May their darkness be a part of me – as I turn the course of fate
Failed – their vision’s lost- alone in their fortress they’ll pay the cost
Futile – their last attempt – We shall arise to bring their end
(1)
Of lies and truth your stories tell
Of empires lost and found as well
And how you dreamt and how you fought
For the sake of the higher thought
We have travelled all so far
Centuries ago through times of war
And heavens wait for those so kind
And hell awaits for those unblind
Ref.
A thousand deafening voices scream
Through storms of lies they shall redeem
Look behind the front of rain
In the shadow of the empire we’ll reign
Use their fear as a crown on your head
Relinquish mankind for the sake of yourself
Neither heaven nor hell you shall fear
The rise of our empire is near
(2)
As the iron curtain fell – all our hopes fell as well
What once stood in unity – a crumbled torn community
We are powerless and weak – dethroned and pushed from our peak
A shattered dream of leader ship – the leaders left the sinking ship
The flames give birth to ashen butterflies
Imago from the kindling paper
Last words – now ascending to the skies
Only visible for our creator
Blame malfunction or the others – we must set fire to the truth
Tell their fathers and their mothers the men were brave every recruit
Mother Russia weeps for now – crimson tears of shame and failure
No one shall know the cause the how – the loss of the ship outweighs each sailor
Ref.
A thousand dying voices scream
Through storms of radiation beams
Look behind the fallout’s stains
In the shadow of the empire we’ll reign

Wind Of The Gods
04:41
|
|||
|
We’re the fire – we’re the light
Through burning darkness – a brighter night
We glide on wings of steel – our arrows drawn
A new beginning – a sudden end
A righteous weapon – we’re heaven sent
Guide our souls to eternal victory
Every hour of every day – your salvation slips away
As the ashes fill your sky – and the birds all cease to fly
Forged in fire we’ll arise to choke your world with divine ties
And this fire burns alive every man not on our side
Through wind and sea we glide, carried by divine hands
Our iron grave we ride – for us it does make sense
In clouds and waves we hide – to break through their defence
Aimed through our emperor’s guide – on final piercing lance
Let the empire rise high – from the cherry blossom’s strike
Wind of the gods, wind of the gods
May our death not be in vain, as long our enemies are slain
Wind of the gods, wind of the gods
We are our nation’s pride – defend our father’s land
Our enemy in sight – frozen in fear he stands
The sun is on our side, fiery on our headbands
Riding the beam of light – die for a final chance

My Lai
06:23
|
|||
|
We came here to cleanse, rape and burn
Kill all that’s moving – leave nothing unturned
White skinned devils with our hate-filled eyes
Gained satisfaction from the innocent’s cries
Kill them all!
No matter if they’re the ones
Shoot ‘em all!
As long as they’re holding guns
Now is the time – this is our chance
Avenge Uncle Sam – leave no evidence
Piles of bodies and rivers of blood – there are
Whole families left shot in the mud
We burned and killed without any sense
Hide under corpses to stand a chance!
Kill them all!
No matter if they’re the ones
Shoot ‘em all!
As long as they’re holding guns
Now is the time – this is our chance
Avenge uncle Sam – leave no evidence
Slow – the dreams they haunt me still
The children that drowned in blood we spilled
These times of chaos still linger today in my mind
The embers still burn as nobody cared to
Silence! The voices inside
I can’t bear this guilt any longer
A final solution’s at hand
A death full of pride – a final disguise!
I will not cease alone – not in solitude
Everyone who was in charge will come
With me – there is no hiding – avenge the fallen
From either side – no deed left unatoned
I hunt you down like prey, you cannot hide from me
I have nothing to fear, my life is already lost
Beside the bullets I deal, no mercy will be shown
This is your order fulfilled – avenge the dead on our side!
Bow down to the eyes of existence
And embrace the dark void I proclaim
This is your fate and completion of your deeds done
I am the last of the fallen!
I came here to cleanse, rage and burn
Kill all who ordered – leave nothing unturned
You were a devil with your hate-filled eyes
Gained satisfaction from their innocent cries
Kill them all!
The orders are now reversed
Shoot ‘em all!
No one shall be spared
Now is the time – this is our chance
Avenge My Lai – disclose all evidence

Before I Fall
04:32
|
|||
|
Why did I stray from the path?
Why did I walk into the dark?
I lost my way so many years ago
Fled from love and the grip of home
To the spheres of impending doom
Until I met you on this fateful night
Like an angel created all from light
And the days passed from then on
And I forgot the place I came from
I thought to find comfort in haze
A love to keep and one final embrace
The damage done – the pieces left broken
Of lost trails – and words left unspoken
Deeper down the spiral of despair
Into your dungeon of control and fear
Chained by the circle of rape and despair
No light through the haze to see it all clear
You turned defiance into submission
But your actions shall start a slow fission
To break free from your prison of rape
But there shall be no silent escape
Tearing down the walls build inside me
Count down the seconds left to be!
My blade awaits you in hell
My cuts are my story to tell
I will force you into submission
Your death – my liberation
Everlasting agony
The price you`ll pay for torturing me
No remorse, no mercy for you
Revenge for all you’ve put me through
Before I fall – release it all
Release the terror through wounds never healed
A life of torment now fulfilled and complete
There is no hope for you
No second chance, no way to get through
This in the end for you and me
The only way to set me free

(1)
Everything spins out of control these days
In pity, we watch all the faults in our ways
The terrors, the bombs and the holes in our hearts
And cultists still tell us to not float apart
We calmly deliver our hate word by word
Behind glowing boxes to names never heard
Communicate with the needle in vein
We don’t need to change ‘cause we stay all the same
Br:
Step by step we destroy our homes
Consume the dead bodies bone by bone
Watch the demons that we all have become
Dead inside to the horrors to come
Chr:
And the gods fell silent!
Deaf and blind to our needs!
And the gods watch silent!
As we consume our dying breed…
(2)
Separating the distance again
Everything’s the same – the rest has been banned
A live feed of torture and rape on your screen
Hide who are – hold tight all that’s been
Hate from the right and hate from the left
Finally they set your life up for theft
The temperature’s rising – no place left to go
Watch them burn down this wretched freak show
Br 2:
Come to find it all through time
As history repeats its play divine
(3)
Words made of silence and words made of hate
The latter is loud and will still be heard
So count down the days to the end that will come
And bury your head in the lap of your god
All that we’ve made and all that we’ve been
A passage in time from the past to be seen
Future spectators be warned at all cost
We are the sickness - the earth was our host
