1. ROTTING FROM WITHIN

Two ships warships rotting from within
Crew aboard bored in times of peace
Dreaming up wars enemies
Purpose for warriors a dying breed

Rust keeps creeping from the vessel's core
Bring back the myths of the patriarchs

Looking for a battle

Revival - looking for a battle
Uniting - looking for a battle

Two ships sinking old and atrophied
One spots another finds an enemy
Water seeps through the gaps that come from age
One ship sinks first one clams the victory

Rust keeps creeping from the vessel's core
Bring back the myths of the patriarchs

Looking for a battle

Revival - looking for a battle
Uniting - looking for a battle

Pity the soldiers brought down by peace
Useless weapons farewell to arms
No heroes or myths to keep wars alive
Pity the warriors a dying breed

Rust keeps creeping from the vessel's core
Bring back the myths of the patriarchs

Looking for a battle

Revival - looking for a battle
Uniting - looking for a battle


2. REPENT

Messenger sanctified at your birth
Ordained by fate be worthy of your might

Halleluia hail the holy man
Who by right divine right
Gives the command to kneel down
Pay your tithe and then repent

You sinners - repent
You sinners - repent

Hell lies in the heart
Purge your spirit free
No refuge in the church
Swindlers cry repent

Messenger self proclaimed prophet
Blackening hearts while cloaked in sacred white

Resist the call to hatred
By holy men intolerant
Your prophets speak of peace on earth
Tolerance is unconditional

You sinners - repent
You sinners - repent

Hell lies in the heart
Faith appears in waves
No refuge in the church
In solitude repent

Angels fall night shining in their breath
Haunting your dreams awakening dark desires

The messenger will claim your soul
Beware his kiss serpent's lips
Evil within angelic skin
Poison plasma body and blood

Hell lies in the heart
Purge your spirit free
No refuge in the church
Oh holy man repent


3. GET SAVED

Get saved crusade have it made
Battlefields await the righteous man
Jesus saves crusades kill sex for Christ
Be fruitful fill the earth with christian men

Open wide the gates of heaven
We await your reservation
Don't forget your donation

We'll save the chosen few
You don't think that this applies to you
We can save your soul from hell
But only if you're heterosexual

Accept the inevitable leave your nature goddess behind
One culture it supreme the bible says it's mine
Forget that old pagan love primitive path to hell
Jesus saves cultures fade redeem your wampum dreams with gold

Forget - the ancients - goddess
Trust me - believe - follow
Trust me - follow

Devils call the search for wisdom
Eve has seeking enlighten ment for life
We've got a plan for death
Curiosity killed the cat


4. SACRIFICE MACHINE

Burning god my eyes see bloody red
Keep it straight sacrifice machine
Screaming but you don't turn busy head
Got to stay in line sacrifice machine

You're pleading bleeding at the knees
Don't feel a thing sacrifice machine

Evolution born of crisis
No regrets sacrifice machine
Serve the law of natural order
Some must die sacrifice machine
Clean hands servant's bloody
Give the word sacrifice machine
At the altar of pagan greed
Leave a gift sacrifice machine

We feast at his expense deaf to his suffering cries
He strikes in desperation and we cry out revenge

Negligence passive and silent murder
See my stainless hands suicide machine
Inaction until I am the sacrifice
My life at risk sudden interest

Evolution born of crisis
No regrets sacrifice machine
Serve the Law of Dr. Darwin
Some must die sacrifice machine
Evolution child of crisis
No regrets sacrifice machine
Evolution bourne of crisis
Who's next sacrifice machine

Sacrifice machine - sacrifice machine
Sacrifice machine - sacrifice machine
Sacrifice machine - sacrifice machine
Sacrifice machine - sacrifice machine


5. THE LIVING DEAD

New church of the hollow answer to your prayers
Life uncomplicated free from decision-making
Promise of salvation in the land of neon light
Only prerequisite is total submission

The living dead - with empty heads

Followers of the false prophets
Bowdown to plastic gods
Brainwash new form of purity
Next step full lobotomy

Start a new life clean up your conscience
Be reborn just like a child
Leave it to us we'll take the reigns
Just do you duty you're free from responsability

The living dead - with empty heads
Entranced they work - entraced they prey

We are bearing witness for the hypnotist
He filled our emptiness with a sense of purpose
We needed to be led no questions clutter our heads
No wrathful punishment if we keep the commandments

Start a new life clean up your conscience
Be reborn just like a child
Leave it to us we'll take the reigns
Just do you duty you're free from responsability

Start a new life clean up your conscience
Be reborn just like a child
Leave it to us we'll take the reigns
Just do you duty you're free from responsability

The living dead


6. THE DRONES

Witness knocking at my door
Can not hear me saying no
His face has a listlessness
In his eyes a certain blankness
He's one of the master's drones
In obedient servant hood
Out gathering new disciples
Spreading word of the sacred scriptures

Something is controlling me
Someone whispers in my subconsious
They're telling me what to think
It's force-fed information

We're a captive audience
Inactive consumers
Direct link the media
One source of information

Something is controlling me
Someone whispers in my subconsious
They're telling me what to think
It's force-fed information

Something controls
My subconscious
Tells what to think
Force-fed information

In grey flannel uniforms
We serve another master
Not for salvation but for gold
Yes money has its powers

There are sets in camouflage
They are serving a flag
Highest honour is through death
Salute the great strategists

Something is controlling me
Someone whispers in my subconsious
They're telling me what to think
It's force-fed information


7. JUDGEMENT GONE BLIND

Judgement gone blind loss of value
Definition melting down like landscapes in the night
Straining for clarity
Only begets ambiguity

No focus confusion
Chaos delusions

Seek sought the truth
Speak wrought with lies
Fear partial truth
Mercy cruel as lies

Betraying you deceiving myself
Conflicting synonymity
You demand honesty
I offer you ambiguity

Disguised as protection
Merciful manipulation

Don't look at me
Don't want to know
Fear partial truth
Mercy cruel as lies

Lies or is it the truth
Ease slide from my lips
Truth or is it a lie
Lost judgement gone blind

Self constructed mirages
Haunt inner desert landscapes
Magnetic dreams of painlessness
Decide our futile path
Mirages vanish before us
Revealing the death of sacred truth
Mercy's seduction of the mind
Enchants the soul to damnation

Disguised as protection
Merciful manipulation


8. NOSFERATU

Within her outcry against the death
The astounded me with the truth and innocence
Sadly I laughed in spite of myself
And gave her the unwanted news of our chance
I would go forth to the land of thieves
Go forth against her better instincts

Your blood your sweat your reward in gold
Your toil your sweat your reward in dreams
Your blood your neck your youth will revive me
Your fear your blood your Nosferatu

Hellbent on fortune I felt despite her plea
Old man with the ancient script shouting after me
The symbols told that no one can change his fate
I fled ignoring him I knew the count awaited
I took the hell road of local superstitions
My sole emotion was my raw ambition
My greed became my logic and my guide
My dark host laughed as I arrived

Your blood your sweat your reward in gold
Your toil your sweat your reward in dreams
Your blood your neck your youth will revive me
Your fear your blood your Nosferatu

Shadows climbed the staircase walls
Death struck twelve and the guest was prey
I sealed a pact with my morbid host
And awake a prisoner in his estate

Entrapped as the deathship sailed for my home
They found the captain strapped to the mast
The phantom had come lured by a pure heart
Only to perish with her at dayfight

Your blood your sweat your reward in gold
Your toil your sweat your reward in dreams
Your blood your neck your youth will revive me
Your fear your blood your Nosferatu
