1. MY JUDGEMENT COMETH

Black flecks of madness swarming in my brain
I load my weapon and jump the midnight train.
Alone forever. There's no-one I can trust.
My judgement cometh and it be right and just.

My mind is speeding although my eyes are blank.
Behind them weird ideas and dreams are growing rank.
I never sleep because I have to watch the moon.
The voices tell me then exactly what to do.

My judgement cometh!
My seed will rise!
Full moon is burning
Burning out my eyes!

My name is something that I long ago forgot.
Of one thing, though, I'm sure - I'm excellent a shot.
I've got my Bible, a gun that I adore,
Two quarts of petrol and a big lump of C4

Tonight I'm laughing.
Tomorrow I'll be dead.
Voices are screaming


2. HOUNDS ON MY TRAIL

Bloodhounds on my trail.
I run to no avail.
Fear and sweat and failure
Are all that I inhale.

The horror's catching up with me
But that don't change a thing.
For one night I am truly free
Tonight I am The King

Bloodhounds on my trail.
I run to no avail.
Fear and sweat and failure
Are all that I inhale.

It's a perfect night to die.
Time to say goodbye.
There's no way I can make it
But I sure as hell did try!

The night is almost over
The dawn is my demise
The dogs are coming closer


3. THE SWARM,THE HIVE,THE EMPIRE

Mine is the future, mine are the stars.
Soon I'll be ready to strike.
Man's reign will end and he will be scarce,
rich man and poor man alike.

I am the legion, I am the hive
A wasp, a cockroach, a grig;
A living machine, only partly alive,
Small alone, but together we're big.

I am the empire, I am the Hive.
When I choose to attack no-one survives.
I can dispose of trillions of lives
Till the day arrives when the Empire thrives.

Using the language of pheromones
Palpi atremble we cheer.
After we've eaten the flesh from you bones
The way to our future is clear.

End product of evolution is me,
Emperor Roach is my name.
Flesh as you know it was not meant to be


4. BATTALION BERSERK

Take the cup that's filled with might
Drink the juice to banish fright
Heavens roar with Odin's voice
Time has come to make a choice

Feel the power scourge your veins
Gods lend you their purest rage
Now or never, men of war!
"Victory or death!" we roar

Red is the veil in front of your eyes
Red is the blood that you let
No longer you care if you live or die
As long as you're not dead yet
Gods that are holding your life and your fate
Make you maim, kill and destroy
Invincible warriors storming the gates
Are filled with pure battle-joy

Battalion Berserk
Kill the enemy
Battalion Berserk
Kill with bare hands


5. HELL BRIGADE

Downtrodden man, the system's slave,
Forced to dig yourself a grave -
Are you ready to shun the shame
And join the fight of the Hell Brigade?

Lose your face. Forget your past.
Take revenge loose and fast.
Don't hope to win this vicious game:
These are the stakes in the Hell Brigade.

Lose your past. Forget your name.
Your life will never be the same.
Take the oath, unsheath your blade.
Join the ranks of the Hell Brigade.

Refuse to live a pointless life.
Arm yourself with guns and knives.
Refuse to be the one enslaved.
Join the cause of the Hell Brigade.

You watched the last bridge burn with tears of joy in your eyes.
From now on only secluded, forsaken trails are open to you


6. HEAVY METAL WAKES THE BEAST

I'm the perfect rocker, the headbanger elite.
Hey, you up on the stage, can you sweep me off my feet?
Play some righteous metal, make my eardrums bleed.
Give me all you got 'coz that's exactly what I need.

From nine to five I'm slavin', working for the Man.
Come Friday night I'm out of here, let 'em catch me if they can.
Feeling like a beast that's been let out of its cage
I'm sweating like an animal in front on the stage.

Come thunder, come lightning, come rain and snow and hail,
come heavy metal weather, come raining studs and nails.
Come Friday night I'm always there to roar and scream and shout,
To drink my beer and bang my head until the lights go out.

The gang is all together, they're moshing here with me.
Our favourite band is on tonight and we won't let them leave.
None of us is sober - we're high on Rock and Roll /
Wild and wicked metalheads out of control!


7. SUMMON US

Fathoms deep is our sleep.
We are incarnate nightmare screams.
Yet we dream as we speak
And control you all in your dreams.

When you feel the world can't be real, summon us!
When you know your life is woe, summon us!
When you feel your world can't be real, summon us!
When you yearn to scream and burn, summon us!

Dormant race out of space,
We shall feast on your deepest fear.
Aeons old is our cold.
We are far yet always so near.
We are dead, yet we dream
In the depths of our ancient tomb.
Just you wait till the gate
Opens up and lets through your doom.

When your mind welcomes us,
We will gain the passage across,
When you call, we will come
And reality will succumb...


8. GOD FOUND DEAD IN SPACE

It started to dawn a little,
This time I didn't read it between the lines.
Read it forwards or backwards,
It is still all the same here, moon or shine.

You feared for something different
And hoped for nothing less, I know the feeling.
When everything comes crumbling down, bow down...
Oh shit! You're already kneeling!

The news today is disturbing.
The world today is refurbished.
And as the Wurm keeps turning
They found no better wording
Than "God Found Dead In Space".

I hear the autopsy went well.
They learned everything and then some.
I am ready to step in the queue of those
Waiting for thy kingdom come.


9. BLACK HEART BLUES

Just when you thought you were happy and healthy,
Comfortably blinded and bound,
We came along and we truly mean business.
We're serious this time around.
We are the reason behind your affliction.
We are the lords of your mind
Shooting you full of ideas that are useless,
Making you lose and not find.

We are the thoughts that will not let you sleep,
The demons that keep you awake.
We are the memories you tried to forget,
The ties you have struggled to break.
We are the deeds that you know must be done,
Done despite of the cost.
We are the questions you don't want to answer,
The conscience you thought you had lost.

We hide inside your black heart.
We sing the blues you despise.

You cannot ignore us. We're inside your heart.
Make you anew as we take you apart.
Now that you know the true meaning of strife,
why don't you wake up and start living your life?


10. DREAMREAPER

If you really prick your ears,
There's a hum you can almost hear,
A darker place your body fears,
Sonic door to the realm of dreams.

Dreamreaper! Gatekeeper!

Next time you go to sleep
You better not get in too deep.
There are sights you should never see,
Entities you would not believe.

Dreamreaper -
Standing right behind you,
sucking in your fears.
Gatekeeper -
To the realm of Hypnos,
To a world of tears.

Cross against his dark domain,
Use his sacred name in vain...
See this dream you won't sustain?
The reaper ends your life in pain!
You won't have time to go insane -
The reaper ends your life in pain.
