1. RETRIBUTION

And the time has come to stop and look around
As the point of no return was passed long ago
Old civilization lost it's face in the nuclear games
And no eyes left to see it's terrible demise

Cities were burn down to ashes and dust
At the time all the industry was dead for ages
People learned how to survive in the world
Of endless cold, radioactive zones and hunger

All the rules and laws of society were lost
As now the humans live under the ground
Centuries old catacombs have now become
The home of a small tribe once called humanity

Severe mutations deformed the remaining races
Eyes lost their functions in the blinding darkness
Legally blind, people can only touch the walls
Of concrete and metal, melted into one cold mass

Another senses, unknown or little know before,
Developed into something useful and even usual
Telepathy now is the main method of communication
Between those who was entangled in the abyss

Remmants of men try to forget about the past
Feeding on slime, living as worthless worms
Not a single piece of art, not a trace of religions
Can be found in the ashes of once mighty culture

A very few books that left from the early days
Said not a word about the violent cataclysm
That erased the plague from the planet
Just to infest it with even worse disease

Little by little desperate men start to connect
The inhabitants of the scorched surface of the Earth
Some smaller animals, unrecognizably mutated
Still dwell on the bottoms of oceans, now dried

From the upper dwellers the Man receive the knowledge.
The line between man and animal is now eerie
Emotions telepathically shared by every creature
Now rule the processes on all the levels of existence

Friends of misery, they were forced to unite the efforts
Before the face of extinction and complete ceasing
Intertwined developed the new forms of life
The Man and the Beast gave birth to the new race


2. WHEN LIFE GOES TO THE END

Feeling no connection to the deceased
Staring at the clouds that are rising from the pipes
Will you ever think about the immortality of soul?
No, the visions will be much darker, colder

Now you live, then you'll die. It's so fast!
One born a second ago already takes his first step
To the pit, where he'll end his hollow life,
In the mud of the rotten wood and soil

All the flesh you now adore will turn on loathsome
Pile of decomposing tissues and then to dust
Hidden from the eyes of the living, bodies are
Giving up their fight against the hands of time

First come the stains on the skin, turned pale,
Blood congests in the lower side of the body,
Muscles get hard before they relax forever,
Brain withering, drief of emotions and thoughts

Laying there without hopes, without words
Foud peace, equilibrium? Who can say.
Losing the shape of what actually was you,
Or maybe just losing useless mortal coil

The sight of dead, cold body is always touching
Disgusting, but fascinating at the same time
Work on the body is the ritual, horrible for some
But full of sense and pleasure for others

Human flesh is sacred as the most holy thing
A fetish and the object of constant desecration
Once you'll taste it they'll call you a cannibal
A beast, deserved to be killed immediately

Controversial feeling in the back of our minds.
Patiently waiting as bones wait under the skin
For the moment they'll show themselves
To the wet coffin walls, squeezed by ground.

How to walk this hard and painful path called life?
Obeying the oppressive rules of society
Or following the hidden desires, buried deep
In the core of our brains as they still work?


3. SOULS DESPISING THE GOD

It's easy to accept something that you know
You'll never be able to change or escape
Like sheep being lead to the slaughter
Blindly bow down before the killing blade

Machines made of meat, caring for their souls
For something they never had and never will
Praying to god while spitting on his commandments
Waiting for the holy solution they'll never receive

A needle, a bottle, a pill to escape from reality
To solve the problems made up from nothing
Vacant skulls shaking from on the tv-command
Fingers gripping on anything that's in season

Society? nation? race? it's all the same
A pack to mercilessly hunt the weak
To bring some 'enemy' down on their knees
And to give some sense to empty lives

Crawling beneath, watched from above
With scorn and utter disgust by apostles
Well prepared, trained for their small roles
That every human forced to play in his life

Controlled by those who controlled by those
Who controlled by one from emptiness
In fact, there's no real control in the world
The cage's not around, its inside the brain

Constantly twisted by the invisible evil hand
Spirits are more than low and the pressure is high
Already dead hearts seating until fear stops them
The law of submission man can never deny

Standard indifferent faces, all blank and retarded
Not even a trace of thought reflects in the eyes
All these beings was born to be cruelly slaughtered
To oil with blood the ever-turning wheel of time

Acting without will, thinking without minds
Looking for another stupid thing to have fun
Dreaming about the evacuation to paradise
From this god- given hell on earth


4. IN AUTHORITY OF MADNESS

Eternal struggle for authority
On a threshold of world cataclysm,
Created by human's vital actions,
Leaking into consciousnesses of a society,
It seizes your bodies
Unfulfilled promises said from above, become daily norm

Explanation to all-excessive greed, like a tornado
Devouring and destroying all on the way
Which leaks in bright spirits
Taking away deep-seated faith in justice

Hypnotizing theme about freedom choice and conceptions
Absorbs original mind and,
Under surrounding influence of slaves
Forces to choose their idols
Destroying your mind autonomy

Stumbled once, you become a silly puppet,
Mind doesn't belong you, heap of masters hold it,
Teaching you brutal self-deception
Your life becomes excessive burden of paying another's debts

Confused and bounded,
Without point of view and life purpose,
You bended by monster fakers
You assimilate with band of stupid sheeps,
Carried on destruction,
Giving yourself to ruthless essences without mercy,
To be lacerated

Laws and deception become your life shape
Shit spoken by x-person, which you idolize, as the messiah
Akin to the clown's smile, reached the pretty ecstasy
After successfully executed focus

The purpose is reached, you in a trap!
The future regeneration is coming,
Irreversible processes of
Destruction are turned on

Reduction of population
Of the nation bring to ruin the whole states
Life like a dead flesh, decaying,
Loses initially strong structure
It is time to reflect, to face the truth

Madness and actions without common sense
Will lead to irreversible
Consequences inside destroyed societies
Doomed and disappointed waiting for new prophets
Which will dictate new game rules


5. INHERITED ILLUSIONS

Inherited illusions of ancestors make you helpless
The belief in holy writ confuses you even more
Your mind is stuffed and deceived by lies
You cannot accept society dictatorship

Only you can find you own way
Pure and virgin is sucked by life that is like a bog
Life is leaked by lies
Of many people struggling for a tidbit
Caring only about themselves, people forget about the roots

They consider the life, as something correct and conclusive,
They have stuffed their minds by full shit
The facade and lies will be suggested to us through the life
Nobody else can change these stereotypes

Who can force you to be cleared of this baneful influence?
No one of them extend a helping hand to you...
The society which has got used to filling gold pockets?
You are unnecessary grain, lost the way in this huge,
Lonely world

You learned to trust and live for the god,
To be honest before yourself
But, falling into clutches
Of the debauched crowd, you fee! the helpless
Your illusions about the pure world are wasting away
Before your eyes
You are doomed by yourself to suffer
And struggle against the world sprouted by lie

Life is oppressed by fear,
Your essence cannot withstand a siege
Constantly being among a stupid heaps of hypocrites,
You cannot supervise the emotions any more
Something within you results self-destruction

Your body is bandaged by strong chains,
You are disappointed and broken
Sufferings make you hate, fright is reeking in your eyes...
You are turning to nothing. there is no sense to live
You realized, that cannot get out,
The destiny prevailed over you

Destroy you fetters and release yourself from temple pain.
Try to be happy release your pain and sufferings
Fight as never before for your honour
Arise against your personality degradation!


6. SLOUGH OF DESPOND

Hellhole of depression,
Infinite wave of weariness and hoplessness.
Slough of emptiness absoring all alive...
The despair leaving in depth
Which are waking up from certain drowse,
Attempting to change something...

Senseless, cleanly human hope that all will be good.
Something nostalgic, quiet, pacifiying.
You are ready to plunge into grey infinity of existence.
But no... a mad stream of pain finds you again.

The life arose suddenly as once has strange interrupted
Universe is grabbed by loneliness and sad
Secular thoughts and dreams go down in ocean emptyness.

I feel thousand eyes seeking me in dusk of the night.
Palpitation of paranoia slaughters my mind.
Suffer again and again
Nothing can help me

Causes and consequences are burned out by indecision.
Black hole of despond sucks out of my feelings
Faceless apathy locks my thoughts
The end is near... and i'm on my knees before it...

Placid echo of lifeless memories
Crushes my will
Dark chill muffles my body...
Life looks like insipid hallucination

Who am I?
