Lyrics


1. DROWN IN DARKNESS

My body falls to the depths
And darkness has engraved my mind
No visions or solution,
Gagged for air, deeper below I sink


2. INTERNAL TORMENT

Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside
Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide
My body is possessed by an unseen force
Crippled for life as I try to speak my voice

No future, an obscenity,
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up,
And the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger, why?
Not allowed to make decisions,
If only I could tell them all I can think


3. MORBID EXISTENCE

In my afterlife, I'll rise again
Destroy all the ones who laughed
Kill them all, able to think, flex my limbs
Talk and socialize, live my life...

No future, an obscenity,
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up,
And the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger, why?
Not allowed to make decisions,
If only I could tell them all I can think


4. PARADISE LOST

Claws of death grip my life,
Empty my mind and my knowledge is deceased
Mindless and dumb, instincts gone

Running in circles,
Not knowing where my fate lies

Blinding, running through the eternal maze
Surrounded by people the same,
Not knowing this place as the darkness falls above
Will we ever see the sun deteriorate away?

Feelings disappear, your eyes stare blank
Another world to greet, life now ends...


5. INTERNAL TORMENT

Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside
Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide
My body is possessed by an unseen force
Crippled for life as I try to speak my voice

No future, an obscenity,
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up,
And the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger, why?
Not allowed to make decisions,
If only I could tell them all I can think

In my afterlife, I'll rise again
Destroy all the ones who laughed
Kill them all, able to think, flex my limbs
Talk and socialize, live my life...


6. FROZEN ILLUSION

I lay in the darkest room,
The door is locked, at chains I grasp
The chill runs through my bones
In panic I grief, oh please help me die

The walls close in on my existence
Unreal illusions re-appear
Darkness increases still

Frozen illusion...

I lay in the darkest room,
As images appear once more...
The chill runs through my bones,
My body is stiff as my soul departs the earth


7. INTERNAL TORMENT (LIVE)

Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside
Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide
My body is possessed by an unseen force
Crippled for life as I try to speak my voice

No future, an obscenity,
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up,
And the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger, why?
Not allowed to make decisions,
If only I could tell them all I can think

In my afterlife, I'll rise again
Destroy all the ones who laughed
Kill them all, able to think, flex my limbs
Talk and socialize, live my life...


8. OUR SAVIOUR (LIVE)

Kneel on the ground and pray to the Lord,
But will He hear your prayers, will He hear your call?
As you sit in the church and the madman speaks,
Listen with awe at the lies he'll preach

Only the mindless will listen and obey
Worldwide wars are caused by this uproar

Pray to rest your conscience for the sins you have done
Where is your God now, as you're dying alone?
Brutal wounds cut deep, no miracles to heal
Watch your life now fade, He's not there to help you die

Raised upon repulsive lies
From the time in which we were born
Driven into heads, holy laws

Cast into a circle of preaching vomit
All decent holy people, their consciences free
Massive neurosis and impending doom
And the holy power will be silent

10. DROWN IN DARKNESS (LIVE)

My body falls to the depths
And darkness has engraved my mind
No visions or solution,
Gagged for air, deeper below I sink


11. PARADISE LOST (LIVE)

Claws of death grip my life,
Empty my mind and my knowledge is deceased
Mindless and dumb, instincts gone

Running in circles,
Not knowing where my fate lies

Blinding, running through the eternal maze
Surrounded by people the same,
Not knowing this place as the darkness falls above
Will we ever see the sun deteriorate away?

Feelings disappear, your eyes stare blank
Another world to greet, life now ends...
