Lyrics


1. MANIPULATE TO DESECRATE

Can't leave well enough alone
And that's there you call your own
Not for you, you'll change your fate
Manipulate to desecrate

You take all that's in your grasp
No one knows you wear your mask
I will fight while you will take
Manipulate to desecrate

I'll carry on
As if nothing's going on

Blood on my hands
I bleed. It's my only plan
I will stand tall
I will hold on. I won't fall
Going is slow
I won't give in. I won't let go

Catastrophic is your style
Selfishness I find so vile
Change the world with all your hate
Manipulate to desecrate

I've lost battles. You've won wars
I won't give in. I'm back for more
Lose this time is what you'll take
Manipulate to desecrate

Over now the scars are there
I can't tell whether you care
Sword of truth the dragon slain
Live the truth forgive the pain

Fought so hard exhausted now
To live again I'll find out how
Pressure gone and freedom gained
Live the truth forgive the pain

So nice now it's friends you say
But it's always been that way
With eye on you I'll do the same
Live the truth forgive the pain

Want this to be the last time
Got too close to lose my mind
Leave things be and we'll stay sane
Live the truth forgive the pain

The pain


2. SOULITICITATION

Alone drifting my mind an ocean
Senses failing sleep has awakened
Fly over forests how did I get here?
Detach the problems in my mind forget fear

How can I escape my mind?
It is full of infinity
Forever moving to the wall

To find that it's not there
A single path won't conquer me
All roads are open
Unchain the binds that hold me down
This is fulfilment

Into the void, endless awaits me
I won't collide with a thing there's no fear
Cannot will not stop I'll be patient
Reaching inside for an unknown location

How can I escape my mind?
It is full of infinity
Forever moving to the wall
To find that it's not there
A single path won't conquer me
All roads are open

Unchain the binds that hold me down
I am now free

I can save myself from me
Find out how I can break free


3. TUNGUSKA

Within the shaman's mind
Lords of thunder rise
Birds of prey, disease a plague
Our enemies must die

Unholy night breeds festering light
Adgy have risen
From unknown they point to the bone
Goodbye Tunguska!

Fireball, 800-mile wall of death
Thunderous boom, crushing silence deafening breath
Tremors, shaking earth shattered souls
Destruction, comet? Asteroid? Renegade black hole?

Matchsticks have fallen, the forest no more
Landscape decrepit and bare
Genetic mutations the cesspool complete
A tangled world a twisted hole

Shadow of time a shaman's curse
Answers still evade
Unexplained forgotten and lost
But so much pain, Tunguska

Madness triumphant
Sciences scarred
Energies legacy
Another man's sword

Worlds demise
Imminence blame
Another man's loss
Tesla's game

Comet ancient energy crimson snow
Meteor mineral storms rumours grow
Supernova matters loss is nothing's gain
Unexplained Tunguska's hell memory's bane

Good-by Tunguska


4. UNKNOWN

Hidden deep from eyes
The light has dimmed – it's faded
Frozen, buried, still alive
It is there are you listening?

It can tear through you
If you don't understand it
The animal instinct, a killer's heart
Is waiting, watching, ready to claim you

(It says)
Hear my voice, little man
You can't kill, but I can
Always there, I am you
Feel my wrath, I claim you
We will be, last standing
All others, hurt dying
Let me out, set me free
We'll be friends, you and me

Can you feel its hunger?
See its greedy eyes?
Impassioned pleading cries for release
Will continue haunting you
How strong is your will?
Can you keep it buried?
Can you dismiss it away for good?
Or maybe you like what you hear

This is
A test of my strength
Can I
Can I resist
Suffer
Suffering I know
Calling
Calling out my name


5. I FALL TO PIECES

Watching waiting crawling
Bleeding for her love
Her sweet toxication

Crush my feeble mind
Lying beside her
Pleading for quick death
Chained to the memories
Drowning in her bed

Thoughts of you converge to fire
Burning aching with desire
Naked flesh arouse my fear
Where is the voice I need to hear

She's the sight that burns my eyes
Liquid death mixed with her lies
Her blood pounding through my veins
This burning lust loves to maim

Love and bloody doom
Curse her rotting tomb
Can't escape outside
To live must die inside

Slow strangulation
Carnal fornication
Slow strangulation
Carnal fornication


6. WISDOM

Feeling the strain of a life full of consciousness
How can I hide when I'm my worst enemy?
I can't find peace in myself
When all I am is pieces

When sleep doesn't come to me where can I seek it
I've been searching around for years
I've found my place in the sun
I'm there burning consumed by flames

I've found freedom in the form of a long leash
Search for the light, some things I cannot reach

How can I falter?
When failure is what I expect from myself
I can now alter
The future because unseen I don't exist

I cannot die
How can you die when you are not alive?

My shattered soul
Is reconstructed stronger than you will know

I will arise
How can I falter?


7. CRUSHING TORMENT

Sick of the sound of my voice
Ears bleeding from the terrible noise
Unlocked my leaden cage

To unleash all my white hot rage
Want to crush all inside
Want to have death to be my bride
… to be my bride

I hear the scream
It's just a dream
Fight a lost cause
Life's rushing past
I'm fading fast
No time to pause
My will is weak
I must believe
To carry on

Cry for help no one hears
I'm left alone to face my fears
Endure torment survive
Struggle endlessly, stay alive
Wrench demon from my back
While I am strong I must attack
… I must attack

Nemesis haunting me
Taking all I can be
Stalk the land
Knife in hand
Time to make one last stand
Life is pain blood is life
Chose to live live to die

Live to fight to breathe
Live to fight to breathe
You die!


8. BLEED BETWEEN THE LINES

(instrumental)


9. KEEPER OF SECRETS

The movements are the same
I am the one to blame
My hairs stand on end
I've killed my last friend

Demons and darkness won my heart
From death's embrace I'll never part
Blood tastes rusty salty sweet
Dripping with gore form head to feet

You see your face upon my sword
You gave your life for your lord
In the night I hear your silent cry
I will extract all your filthy lies

Lusting for blood battle and war
I am the greater demons whore
Malefic ways I must confide
Upon the broken wings I glide

Fields of white
Now endless night
For darkened day
I'll always pray

Don't wonder of the night
My claws are poised to strike
There I will always be
Do not come in search of me

You see your face upon my sword
You gave your life for your lord
In the night I hear your silent cry
I will extract all you filthy lies
