1. HANDMADE GOD

For that viper that grows inside your head
She remains there waiting to be fed
Self-made parasite speculating about the end
I ask you: “Can you forgive me?”

Back into the womb of this holy woman
Else pregnant of an entire breed
Of men afraid to create
To take place and to proceed
I ask you: “Can you forgive them?”

They promised me a miracle
A private god for me to hold
Can you forgive me?

They promised me a miracle
Someone to really, really love
Can you forgive me?

Your handmade god
Your handmade god
Is back into your womb
Your handmade god
Your handmade god

Is it right to indulge on an ecstasy
Of creating a god that sees what I see
Looks exactly like me
Rather what I wanted, I wanted to be
Can you forgive me?

For that viper that grew inside my head
For having betrayed you so well
Can you forgive me?

They promised me a miracle
When all my crimes will be just one
But now is gone
They promised me a miracle
Back to your womb it feels so cold
It feels so cold

They promised me a miracle
They promised me a miracle
A miracle
They promised me a miracle
They promised me a miracle
A miracle
Back to your womb
It feels so cold
A miracle


2. THE MAY SONG

I’m waiting for your hands
To fold around my wrist
I’m mellowing in warm grass
And the scent of you I’ve missed

And blue is representing
The draft in my heart
I’m wandering through thin skies
And the transparent air I’ve missed

Pale is my face
You might want to colour
While I breathe

I’m following large drops of rain
With my eyes on the sight of you
I’ve missed

Pale is my face
You might want to colour
While I breathe


3. BEAST OF MAN

Beware the beast of man
For he’s the devil’s pawn
Alone among god’s primates
He kills for sport, lust or greed

...The sacred scrolls...
...The truth unfolds...

Shun him - or become like him
Shun him - the beast of man

Let him not breed in great numbers
For he will make a dessert
Of his home and yours
Shun him - drive him back
Into his jungle lair
For he is the harbinger of death

...The sacred scrolls...
...The truth unfolds...

Shun him - or become like him
Shun him - the beast of man


4. WHEN PAIN COMES TO SURFACE

What does it take to be a man?
The complex of a little man
When your life ain’t so perfect
When your pain comes to surface

Want you... want you to be yourself
But you don’t even know yourself
Don’t even like yourself
Pain comes to surface when you...
Pain comes to surface when you...
Complex of a little man
Complex of a little man

Pain comes to surface
Pain comes to surface
Life ain’t so perfect
When your pain comes to surface

Want you... want you to be yourself
But you don’t even know yourself
Don’t even like yourself
Pain comes to surface when you...
Pain comes to surface when you...
Complex of a little man
So blind you don’t understand

Pain comes to surface
When pain comes to surface
Your pain comes to surface
And your life ain’t so perfect any more
Yeah!

Come on... bitch
Come on... watch the motherfucker burn
Come on... bitch
Come on... watch the motherfucker burn

Come on... what does it take to be a man?
Come on... watch the motherfucker burn

So come on
What does it take to be a man?
With your complex of a little man
And your life ain’t so perfect
When your pain comes to surface


5. TRICK

Hell, no!
So you’re leavin’ me out of your reindeer games
‘Cause don’t have quite enough fame
Lame your excuse, here take the noose
No use, no spine, your trickin’ every time

Tipping around those thoughts that are really on your mind
But we got that cookie cutter going on
Green machine stealing your dreams
Selling yourself short to grab the quick cream

Rebelling and yelling but really who is the machine
Not part of your scene or buying into your routine

Trick!
I won’t be tricked again
Trick!
I won’t be tricked again, no
Trick!
I won’t be tricked again
Trick!
I won’t be tricked again!

Let me see!
Conspiracy you step to me then challenge
I manage to separate the facts from emotion
I get the notion you got a dose of the potion
In the backseat of the pimpmobile

You adapted your style for mass appeal
Sign your name and let’s close the deal
Like Ned Flanders’ running hell
Excuse me while I curse the fools you failed!

Rebelling and yelling but really who is the machine
Not part of your scene or buying into your routine

Trick!
I won’t be tricked again
Trick!
I won’t be tricked again, no
Trick!
I won’t be tricked again
Trick!
I won’t be tricked again!


6. ANCHOR

Why am I still holding on?
This means so much to me

And I know what you think
You think it’s time
I let it go
Get on with my life

I see the life you lead
Is that what you want for me?
I realize
I realize that this is my salvation!

Sometimes it feels like this is all I’ve got

And I know what you’ll say
You’ll say it’s time
I just put it aside
Got on with my life

This is everything
This is my salvation!


7. HIGHER POWER

Open wide the gates of hell
But that’s said by a man who’s never been there before
As another finds out with his own hands
And turns the knob on suicide’s door

Count the days or the hours
Come face to face with the higher power
Grown afraid, hide and cower
We need some answers from the higher power

Statues of angels on top of the churches
Their faces of marble chiseled, pristine and white
These graven images we’ve been known to worship
Do not bring me any comfort tonight

Count the days or the hours
Come face to face with the higher power
Grown afraid, hide and cower
We need some answers from the higher power

Man’s search for...
Man’s search for the higher power goes on!


8. OUT OF SPIRITS

Great dilemma
Detestable thoughts
Non-existing facts
And it’s the grief that accompanies you

Life and death are struggling
The outcome is wavering
The decision is ours
But the truth escapes me

The sadness of bereavement
The loss of innocence
Hate made an untrodden path of my soul

I walk lightly trying not to wake
My sleeping consciousness
Trying to resist myself

I want to be alive
But my soul is asleep
I want to be alive
To be dead, to be fine, to be gone!

The fate has schemed against us
The fate has schemed against us
The fate has schemed against us
The fate has schemed against us

Great dilemma
Detestable thoughts
Non-existing facts
And it’s the grief that accompanies you
Life and death are struggling
The outcome is wavering
The decision is ours
But the truth escapes me

The sadness of bereavement
The loss of innocence
Hate made an untrodden path of my soul
I walk lightly trying not to wake
My sleeping consciousness
Trying to resist myself


9. WHORES OF BABYLON

Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Won’t forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds

Cling, cling to your mind, my words
Never trust a foreign race
All the sweetness you have heard
Has put your soul in carbon haze

Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Won’t forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds

Cling, cling shattered nerves
To the queen you did adore
Has turned to stiff ebonite curves
In scarlet waves on distant shore

Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Won’t forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds


10. NO NEED TO EXPLAIN

I got the key to open all the gates I see
I want this power inside of me
This passage is full of different gates I see

Just try to be yourself
Try to destroy all what you feel inside

Take and hold this hand
What you feel inside is another dream
Want you give me a part?
Let me say you’re truly raspy
But I’m living to discover your soul

Just try to be yourself
You’ve got to be strong
Live in a harder way now

Take and hold this hand
What you feel inside is another dream
Want you give me a part?
Let me say you’re truly raspy
But I’m living to discover your soul

And I know you’re scared about the life that comes
Look in the mirror, the fear is a part of you
Stronger and strong I’ll help you to choose the way
Can’t you let me go away...


11. PENTAGRAM

They set sails towards the sea
Only brave men with hearts of steel
To embark upon the journey and bring the treasure back
They will head the old man’s words
As he wrote so long ago
“Go and find the treasure and live for evermore”

For thousand days they sailed
Towards a distant world
Reaching to where heaven ends
Beyond the stars- to find the pentagram

Now the sky fades to black
Strong winds tear the sails apart
Above them roaring thunder that echoes in the night
Mighty waves cast the ship aside
One hundred men go down
Everyone but one man that lived on to be free

For thousand days they sailed
Towards a distant world
Reaching to where heaven ends
Beyond the stars- to find the pentagram

Long ago they sailed away to a land beyond the stars
One man brought the fortune home and lived for evermore

For thousand days they sailed
Towards a distant world
Reaching to where heaven ends
Beyond the stars- to find the pentagram


12. IN DARKNESS

Why so many obstacles on my way?
Why these creatures whirl ‘round on me?
I want to know who do they obey
Which occult strength manages them?

I’m living in darkness
Far from this world
I’m living in my dreams
My own legend

Their infernal sound leads me to sink into folly
How to overcome this fear which paralyzes me?
Let me dream of a real existence
Far from this world of suffering and anxiety...

I’m living in darkness
I’m seeking the truth
He’s living in my brain
The fallen angel

Let me dive into the seeking serenity
Let me live my own legend
Find the answers which are eluding me
Understand the meaning of my non existence
Let me dream of a real existence...

I’m living in darkness
I’m fighting for freedom
I’m living in my dreams
My own legend

No doubt
Beyond this zone of terror
I’ll find all the answers
No doubt
They try to stop me

But I’ll fight
‘Cause even if the price of the knowledge consists of suffering
Even if the path to the eternal passes in transit to hell

I’ll go to the end
To the end of my dreams
I’ll go to the end
To the end of my dreams


13. YE ENTRACEMPERIUM

Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond

Emperium
Behold my coming

The full moon rise above me
Enlightening my realm in a silvery glow
Yet the shadows crawl
Beneath my storming sky
Guarding treasures from forbidden light

I still remember, though ages ago it seems
The first time I entered the gates
The revelation of ritual death
By which I became divine
Sacrifice of the life I had
Among the flesh of the light

And now I enter again
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see
In ecstasy I mock the world

Suddenly I memorize
Asking what I left behind
Nothing

Can I ever comprehend?
Will my longing ever end?
Never

Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Eternally


14. SERAPHIC DEVILTRY

Whether He the quaint savant’s power
doth held I now not,
Albeit aetat a thousand stars’ birth He is -

Zuoth I that for reasons to me oblivious
August of a granditude of servants is He held,

And by plastic consonantry
e’en more servants to the host addéd are -

Pelf they are, dare I say!
Maugre His diurnal serphic deviltry
I say that deviltry - ‘tis forsooth deviltry! -

Mind not this in scintillating shades clad is;
To claim the glore is He suffer’d.

“Grant me the fatlings”, gouth He,
“the fatter the better!”,

And died they of starvation;
They are not slaughtering their fatlings -

They are slaughtering ‘hemselves.

Sith I at time of yester the questions durst ask,
And dare I say this burthen weightful was,

Wrack of His machine - like motion was I naméd,
Tho’ blind and fond the jesters rebuilt

The machine alike - yet whettéd
The machine alike - and dight are its edges...


15. FUTURE SHOCK

I see and I know there’s something awry
They see and they know with laser eyes

Digital dreams on digital screens
Creating life as they glow
Nightmares forming without a warning
There’s no one to patrol

What securities will the future hold?
It’s getting out of control
I’m in future shock

Overlapping textures of pain
Nightmares race through information veins

Who claims what’s wrong
Who controls what’s right and who cares anyway
The information highway will take you there
For such a small price to pay

What securities will the future hold?
It’s getting out of control
I’m in future shock

Our lives are on a screen
(Who knows what the other side sees)
Secret lives we all lead
(Who knows what the other side needs)
Secure these lives with a digital lock
(Who hold the other side’s keys)
I’m living in future shock
(The other side has me on my knees)

Pulses scanning at the speed of light
Draining our life flow with every megabyte

The beast
All seeing master minds rule the Internet
Who knows their means beyond our screens
They will have you yet

What securities will the future hold?
It’s getting out of control
I’m in future shock


16. VIOLATE

Enter now the fiendish one
Twisted little man
Vile wretch disgusting mess
Perverted little man
Born of hell and in disease
Hate festers in his veins
Demonic clown and shapeshifter
Little man gone insane

Enter now
Enter now
And violate

I’ll beat you with your spinal cord
Split your skull in two
I’ll feast on your intestines
There’s nothing I can’t do
I’ll rip your heart out of your chest
Watch it beat as you cry
I revel in your agony
I violate and make you die

Enter now
Enter now
And violate


17. PIRANHA

Slicing jaws a way of life
Brought up to waste mankind
Loki’s pets - his little children
Deadly every time
Trapped in swamps by gates of hell
Don’t ever let them out
For if you do and they escape
You’ll fight a bloody bout

Piranha kill in a pack - you’ll run
Piranha start to attack - you’ll done
If you think you can beat - deadly school
If you think you can live - you’re a fool

Gates of hell are old and cracked
They tumble and they fall
Out rush a bloody wall of death
To kill anything at all
Their sole mission is to kill
Strip your bones and flesh
Rip out your eyes tear off your face
An agonizing death

Piranha kill in a pack - you’ll run
Piranha start to attack - you’ll done
If you think you can beat - deadly school
If you think you can live - you’re a fool


18. WASTE IT AWAY

Would you want to know when you will die?
The year, the minute, the second?
Would you want to live your life unfulfilled?
Not knowing what lies in store?
Would you regret the things you didn’t achieve?
Because you spent too much time waiting
Waiting for the right chance to reach your goals
Never seeking your own direction

I’ve beat my hands against this walls until they’ve bled
I can’t make you feel the way I feel, can’t make you understand
Life’s too short to waste it away, all you have to do is try
Cherish your life, make each second last
Don’t spend life wasting time in the dark!

Turn the tides to find a new outlook
Turn the tides to find a new way
Live every minute, every second
As if your last breath was fading away
Your only limitations are the ones you accept
Your desire will decide your fate
Reach for the dreams you’ve put aside
Make your choices before it’s too late

I’ve beat my hands against this walls until they’ve bled
I can’t make you feel the way I feel, can’t make you understand
Life’s too short to waste it away, all you have to do is try
Cherish your life, make each second last
Don’t spend life wasting time in the dark!

I’ve learned far too much from mistakes!
It’s your choice to decide the next step to take!
Don’t be afraid to follow the things through!
It’s all up to you!
