Lyrics


1. CORROSION

Corrosion
Corrosion
Corrosion

Like water corroding metal
Your world is withering
All you had you have lost
Never to return again

Your life, will rust

Particles that used to be you
Falling down like dead skin
What once shone is now matt
It can never be saved

Rusting from the inside out
Dead and dry you fall apart
You're nothing but corrosive waste
So what's the point of trying?

Corrosion... No devotion

So tied up with no devotion
Your life is falling apart
You've lost your sense of color
Everything is in shades of red and brown


2. DOOMBRINGER

No need for apologies we all played fair
No reason to forgive nor to forget
4 years of highlife and then you die
Beaten by the clock yet you try to stay alive

Doom - the end is closing in
Just before it all begins
The end is closing in

Destined to lead yet you're always last
Strictly narrow-minded don't give a shit about the past
Yet the future is dimmed in a cloud of gasoline
In blood red darkening you try to float upstream

Doom - the end is closing in
Just before it all begins
The end is closing in

Doombringer
Doombringer

Disappointed by the truth
Misery shines through you
Endless pain is all you give
Wade through emptiness for eternity


3. JUST ANOTHER HOG

From the highest tower
You pull the puppet's strings
While you command your slaves
Someone is watching you

You're enslaved, you're their slave
They dominate your fate

When all is said, you're a living dead
They dominate your fate

All that massive power
You're just another hog
Sucking up to the master
While feeding from the trough

You're enslaved, you're their slave
They dominate your fate

When all is said, you're a living dead
They dominate your fate

Your stink suffocates me!
Your stink suffocates me!
Suffocates me!

They dominate your fate!
They dominate your fate!
They dominate your fate!
They dominate your fate!


4. INHALE / EXHALE

Inhale/exhale

You breathe to live
You breathe - you die

Inhale/exhale


5. SCOOP

A new beginning, a fresh clean path
Yet slightly curved and striving to come back
The one you thought you were is gone

A loss of faith, all bridges burned
A strong commitment to return
And find the place where it all began to... Burn!

A failure, a disgrace
You'll get yourself erased

An old replacement will not do
Only fresh young meat will satisfy you
The purist in you tells you to stay clean

Your conscience now removed with haste
The stench of death reveals the taste
So precisely portrayed within frames - then replaced...

...the stench of death reveals the taste...
...an empty shell is all that remains...
...slow death...


6. BULLSHIT

You claim you're being civilized
A barbarian tribe forcing it's views
Upon a world you hardly recognize
Securing your wealth with brutal force
You call it "defence"

When will you wake up and realize
There will come a time when enough is enough
The ones you shit on, on your way up
Will surely shit on you on your way down

Defense?
Bullshit!
Defense?
Bullshit!


7. RELICS

Take aim at your promised land
Where would you be without it?
Destroy your legacy so grand
No "peace" will halt your vengeance

...and so again...
What makes you settle so convinced?
A relic that leaves no room for peace?

So fragile it has always been
Outside main focus

Your focus should be suffering
Or have their cries made you go numb?
Can't you see the enemy within?
Blind with hate you desecrate what brought you here

...but then again...
It makes you settle so convinced
A relic that leaves no room for peace

So fragile it has always been
Outside your focus

Extinction - your final goal
Now you're the relic

...and so again...
You stand here settled, so convinced
Blindfolded, hatefilled, without regrets

The centre of attention
Doomed, you stand and fight the flames...
...lit by your own hand
You can't float upon the river of flame


8. LÖPANDEBANDSPRINCIPEN

Tusentals kopior stæpta i samma form
Alla med samma ¥sikt, alla med samma m¥l

Maskinell kloning skapade deras liv
Tusentals framst¤llda p¥ læpande band

Konstruerade, dehumaniserade
Stereotypa, sj¤llæsa

Tusentals kopior stæpta i samma form
Alla med samma ¥sikt, alla med samma m¥l


9. I HATE PEOPLE

When you try too hard
To find meaning in what you see
You forget the origin of the landscape
So carefully laid out at your feet

Is it hard for you to understand?
Does it bother you that I don't fucking care?

I'm not here for you to read me
Like an open book, so don't fucking ask
I'm just thinking, thinking loud
Bringing words to tongue and moving fast
All this shit you take for granted
Leads to nothing, makes no sense
Instead of waiting for being told
Maybe you should tell yourself?

You're a slow learner, you'll never last
In a world so cold you're supposed to make it fast!

Disappointed - yes, but this is hardly news
You're disadvantaged from the start
There's no denying it and you are through...

I hate people telling me what to do - fuck you!


10. MASSHYPNOSIS

Like a ray of light
Like a shooting star
They can see you come
To set free The Swarm

From a different world
From an ancient land
Will you say the words?
Let them breathe your air?

Death at your fingertips
With your venomous tongue you lick them clean

This is not what it said in the prophecy
Your are not what they thought you were meant to be
Salvation at your fingertips, precision is a must.
You are The One.


11. A WELCOME BREEZE OF STINKING AIR

Now the balance is set
We're changing foot from left to right
Eager and with false hope
We gave them our trust

Speech on speech
Lies on top of lies
Empty Promises
The guys are having such a blast...

But nothing's changed
It is just a different set of lies
Nothing's changed
It is just a different set of lies...

Attempting to win
It's a race without a finish line
They're all relay-runners
And you're left behind

Thank you, come again
It has been nice shitting you
Improvement's around the corner
Your vote made a difference...

But nothing will change
It is just a different set of lies
Nothing will change
It is just a different set of lies...


12. FATAL SEARCH

Millions of human lives to sacrifice
They were born to die now they're dead at last
Millions of human lives to sacrifice
Born to die...

Wished for death all their lives
Searching for truth on the other side
Darkened souls to purify
Dead and buried...

Millions of human lives to sacrifice
They were born to die now they're dead at last
Millions of human lives to sacrifice
Born to die...


13. THIS IS...

This is what it's all about
This is why we play
This is why me make your day
This is it...


14. THE MASKED FACE

Picture a masked face
Painted black with shining teeth
Unmask the image
Realize - you stare into a mirror

Denude - the masked face
Free yourself from the illusion

Refine the reflection
Re-establish the fundamentals
Wash away the filth
Purify - your head is clogged with doubt!

Denude - the masked face
Free yourself from the illusion

The masked face!


15. THE IDIOT PARADE

Thought you were deaf
Yeah, I thought you were blind
When you just stood there
While the idiots walked in line

In the Idiot Parade

You are taking their side
You are holding their hands
You stupid motherfucker
This must come to an end

...come to an end!

Your senseless thoughts of racial pride
Have infested your weak mind
Will you ever realise?
It's not you or them - it's us!

Protected by laws
Made by your own kind
It's the system in progress
It's the death of the free mind...

It's the Idiot Parade!

Deaf, dumb and blind
May be your only excuse
Not how much you have suffered
Not the years of abuse

...the truth is foolproof!

Your senseless thoughts of racial pride
Have infested your weak mind
Will you ever realise?
It's not you or them - it's us!

Face me
Convince me
And show me
How I am wrong, what I have started

Blame me
Seduce me
Convict me
Decide my fate and end my struggle.

Nothing went wrong
There is no one to blame
Yet no one is safe
When the idiots are on parade


16. DEN SVARTA FANAN

Här förgås ett liv på en sekund
Det finns inget mer att hämta här
Som fågelskrämmor på utbrända fält
Noggrant sanerade med napalm

Glimtar av vad som komma skall
Ett fårtvivlat skri i raseri
Med rädslan satt på plats
Och vreden fast i hand
Måste vi agera medan hela världen står i brand...

Med två fria händer och kämparglöd
Kan vi så ny säd och bryta ny jord
Med livet som insats och vreden fast i hand
Låt den svarta fanan vaja högt...
