1. A TASTE OF HATE

I’m so sick of it
I’m so sick of it all

The feeling is overcoming me
Emotional overdose
Every word means another step to hell

Chain reaction
Non-stop battle inside
A fiery rage that turns men into monsters

Accepting defeat
Is never an option
Perverted obsession
Now taste my …

Hate – stings like a rusted nail
Right through the infected mass
Of my weak and rotten body

Brutal visions
I’m seeing red
Hard to maintain control of my own

Accepting defeat
Is never an option
Perverted obsession
Now taste my …

Hate!

This is something that’s never gonna stop

I won’t swallow the poison
You’re fillin’ me up with
My god is a sinner himself
Wallowing in forbidden pleasure

Accepting defeat
Is never an option
Perverted obsession
Now taste my …


2. CLENCHED FISTS

Desolation – We all will suffer
Civilized – We are born to be insane
Mutilated – Our senses dull and numb
Irrational – Instinctive behavior

Attracted by the thought of vengeance
A glimpse of bleeding flesh gets you off
Point blank, target in sight
Clench your fists and set them in place

Initial bleeding brings the pain to life
On your knees or will you withstand
Lost in the red mist surrounding us all
Can you hear Darwin calling?

Aggression stimulating the last piece of mind
Regret nothing, mercy is for fools
Together we summon the hate
The last barrier we will break it down

Scavengers – Defrauders – Vultures
Inhuman – Immoral – Impious

So we stand here
Standing in line now
And we’re looking to the horizon
A fake ideal and all that is left
A taste of bitterness

Desolation – We all will suffer
Civilized – We are born to be insane
Mutilated – Our senses dull and numb
Irrational – Instinctive behavior

We are war!

Scavengers – Defrauders – Vultures
Inhuman – Immoral – Impious

So we stand here
Standing in line now
And we’re looking to the horizon
A fake ideal and all that is left
A taste of bitterness


3. LAST SIN

The future is falling apart
And so is my aching heart
Thoughts of a better time
Feeding the fear of crossing the line

My guardian angels sing me a song
‘Bout all the things that went so wrong
Let me see their bitter eyes
One look it takes to realize

There will be no way
To stop our own decay
From within the flesh breaks open
Bow down before the beast evoken
Another sin, another frailty
Eternally we’re cursed with cruelty

We’re suffering the aftermath
Of a war that’s become the only path
Burning bridges, symbols of betrayal
Our future is a blood-stained nail

There will be no way
To stop our own decay
From within the flesh breaks open
Bow down before the beast evoken
Another sin, another frailty
Eternally we’re cursed with cruelty


4. TEMPEST

Dead star come falling
Break my will
Indoctrination or just another kill
What shall it be
The plague or the disease
It’s time for me to pay the fees

Eat the shit, eat the lies
I was rising to new heights
Eat the shit, eat the lies
Hypocrisy, binding ties
Tempest covering my cries

Take a look
And see what I’ve done
You can imagine my virtue is on the run
I was like a little fish
Swimming with the sharks
Since the biggest pile of shit is what I call my heart

I jumped the blade
And spit in death’s face
But in the end I lost the race
It seems that nothing
Will ever stop the wheel
Grinding my bones until I kneel

Eat the shit, eat the lies
I was rising to new heights
Eat the shit, eat the lies
Hypocrisy, binding ties
Tempest covering my cries

Uh!

My set of cards was drawn and I got thrown into the pit
A thousand snakes were biting but still who would give a shit
Among all the predators there is no place to survive
Terror, agony and hate – yeah this was my life

No (2x)
No way back! (2x)

Eat the shit, eat the lies
I was rising to new heights
Eat the shit, eat the lies
Hypocrisy, binding ties
Tempest covering my cries (2x)


5. UNHOLY SOLITUDE

Intolerance can be a boon to life
A fucking good reason for you to survive
Try to kiss the snake right between its teeth
Show the hellish legions you’re the worst disease

Wallowing in endless sin
Ignoring death with an evil grin
Hallucination
Divine domination

Watch your steps as you cross the line
Bear in mind you ignored the signs
Face the beast that never sleeps
Now what you’ve sown is what you reap

Walking the line – Monumental decline
Decreasing fortitude – Unholy solitude

Slightly crossing the last frontier
Entering hell without shedding a tear
Let loose what binds you to this mess
Prepare to meet the end when you have to confess

Wallowing in endless sin
Ignoring death with an evil grin
Hallucination
Divine domination

Watch your steps as you cross the line
Bear in mind you ignored the signs
Face the beast that never sleeps
Now what you’ve sown is what you reap

Walking the line – Monumental decline
Decreasing fortitude – Unholy solitude


6. INSIDE MY HELL

(Leaving a handful
Handful of nothing
Eyes staring blindly
At the future)

Freezing cold I shiver from the heart
Mine is the fear to be torn apart
Which door shall I choose
To avoid the life-ending noose

I hide inside my shell
The old familiar hell
There seems to be no way out
My greatest treasure is my doubt

No illusions left on my way
Poisoned myself with bitter sweet decay
How much more must I bear
Before this life ends in despair

I hide inside my shell …

Falling, drowning
Night descending upon me slowly

Leaving a handful
Handful of nothing
Eyes staring blindly
Forever more

I hide inside my shell …


7. DARK SUMMIT OF PAIN

Like thorns in your flesh
Like wounds that will not heal
Like poison through your veins
There is no relief

The walls surrounding you
Leaving no way to run
You can try to hide yourself
But there is nowhere … to turn

A vision branded into my mind
A simple question, but no answer
The faces all around me
Staring at me with their shattered eyes

The pain gets so intense
I want to scream
It’s burning holes into my heart
My flame is flickering

The soul and the flesh are bleeding
Steadily the pain is killing me

With a sigh I loose my mind
I’m cast in flames, I’m torn apart
I feel the nails in my flesh
I see the blood spilling out of my wounds

A martyr to become, divine but replaceable
Reaching for an unattainable aim
Withstanding the desire
For this hell

The soul and the flesh are bleeding
Steadily the pain is killing me

Black flame of pain burning bright
All illusions shall perish in your devouring light
Be guidance to those who seek salvation
Enlighten the path to eternal damnation


8. ON THE HILLS

(Instrumental)


9. WHEN THE STORM IS NEAR

Into the darkness of a treacherous night
Wielding a fire that provides us no light
Blasphemic mayhem, we’re the force of discontent
The worst abscess this world has ever beared

A cleansing storm rages over the land
Our hearts engulfed by fear
Silhouettes against a blackened sky
Violent and unforgiving, the seed of panic grows

The screams in the distance sound so familiar
They’re telling a story of something that lies deep inside

Into the darkness …

With all our failures lined up in a row
The hideous snake of disillusion casts its spell
Our lives have been torn
Long before we were born

Into the darkness …

We will have to step aside
When nature claims its toll
We will have to step aside
When the storm is near

Into the darkness …

When the storm is near
Come on and run
When the storm is near
Come on and die


10. I AM CATASTROPHE

Do you think you can handle my aggression
The intolerance and selfish behaviour
Crushing down like a deadly tornado
I rule the inferno

All prearrangements are worthless
The disaster is never to stop
Remains of the once so beloved
Pave my way

I am the sin
I am the lies
I am the fear
Catastrophe

Pain can be such a wonderful pill
Taming all the wildest fires
But with knowledge comes salvation
Sentenced to annihilation

Peace is just another word
For preparing the next war
Peace is just another plea
To play tricks on your enemy

I am the sin
I am the lies
I am the fear
Catastrophe

You'll get a free-ride-ticket for a dead man's show

I am the sin
I am the lies
I am the fear
Catastrophe


11. CONCLUSION
