1. EPITAPH

Keep on struggling with a world on your shoulders
A thin line between you and this parasitic void

Breathe in
Bleed out

Your body's broken
Your senses collapsed
Perceive the absence of pure innocence

Fadin'
Fallin'

With mouths open
We swallow
Each word ever spoken

Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way of denying
The words of my own death

The end of the line
It's coming closer
In sight!

Retribution will take its place
Retaliation is my escape

Fadin'
This is the end of my line
Fallin'
It's coming closer
In sight!

Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way of denying
The words of my own death


2. CARBONMAN

Once born with the same core
Death over life is what we adore
Acid clouds and iron skies
Out of dead seas we will arise

We are all carbomen
A universe in us
Forever in us

The earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her Carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends

The triumph of the dead realm
Centuries of human decay
Aamon calls
We obey

We are all Carbomen
A universe in us
Oh lord
Forgive us

The earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her Carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends

We're all
We are all Carbonman
A universe in us that's what we are

The earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her Carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends

The earth does know who we are
A fellowship from the same star
Collapsed and exploded
Scattering our guts
A universe in us
That is what we are what we are


3. BERSERK

We found each other in the dark
As we went berserk with blackened hearts

Maybe we ruined it
Our lives among the dead
Adapt and rearrange
The inner fight for words to curse
This is my final prayer
This is my final wish to bleed

Are we still alive?
Let's slit and see
(Are we still alive?)
(Let's slit and see)
So bear your agony
(You spoke of friendship)
(But you meant worship)

We found each other in the dark
As we went berserk with blackened hearts

Maybe we fought in vain
Our lives amongst the pain
Adept in agony
The inner fight for words to solve
Maybe we fought in vain
Maybe we fought in vain

We are still alive!
Why can't you see?
(Are we still alive?)
(Let's slit and see)
So bear your agony
(You spoke of friendship?)
(LIAR)

Oh, we met in blood and dust
From the beginning we were lost
Now in the end all is bust

We found each other in the dark
As we went berserk with blackened hearts


4. BLOOD GHOST

A repent council
Feasting from night to day
No excuse
Nor consciousness
Pure essence of decay

I speak the truth
A downfall can not be feared in dignity

My vicious nightmare
Still drenched in blood and lust
I'm breathing
Yet suffocating
Memories to dust

Hold me
Please cure me from
The loneliness that constantly pulls me down

A repent council
Feasting from night to day
No excuse
Nor consciousness
Pure essence of decay

There's spark in the dark
I sense my inner fear
There's a path through my heart
I'll follow it
I'll reconcile

Hold me
Please cure me from
The loneliness that constantly pulls me down

Cause when the bloodthirsty hunts
I finally fade away

Lies!
Sworn above all
This vicious circle
Consuming all my thoughts
Clenched within my chest until I'm dead

Hold me
Please cure me from
The loneliness that constantly pulls me down


5. HYBRIS

Let's die

Say hello to your fate
The end comes closer
We ain't got nothing to hide
Through the spiral of hate
Let's ride
Carry on the serpents will to kill
Is this the way of life?
Accelerated!
None of the dreams we once created

None owns a heart
Seems we forgot about it
But our suffering becomes accomplished
Where is the way out of the dark
Where is my weapon
Is my heart

Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain
Doubt and belief
Astray and forgotten
We stand in tears
Full of pain
Doubt
No belief

The release from this plague
When hell breaks loose
Boundaries burst
Into skies full of rage
Let's fly
Bloodred nights are the core
Is this the way of life?
Accelerated!
None of the dreams we once created

Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain
Doubt and belief
Astray and forgotten
We stand in tears
Full of pain
Doubt
No belief

The end
Poising straight on the edges
Straight through the surface
Fading
Torn apart on the inside
Dead on the outside

Forgive us our sins
As we're forgiven those who sin against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
Forever
Pretend

Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain
Doubt and belief
Astray and forgotten
We stand in tears
Full of pain
Doubt
No belief


6. WRATH/SALVATION

Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation

Blood runs down
I lose control
My life fades
I can't feel no more
Hopefully
I will keep my soul

I'm bleeding through my common sense
I die
My hearts shattered to ruins

Scattered dreams
Our time runs out
Our end will come and I have no doubt
That deep inside my broken heat
My heart
My very core
I slowly disappear

Born to obey
'Cause only ash remains
Sworn to decay
I give up
My eyes turn black

Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation

Relief will come
It's close no matter how
Much you deny
I have finally found a way to my last goodbye
My heart
My very core
Will let you slowly disappear

Born to obey
'Cause only ash remains
Sworn to decay
I give up
My eyes turn black

Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation

I'm falling down
I'm falling down
I'm falling to pieces

Born to obey
'Cause only ash remains
Sworn to decay
I give up
My eyes turn black

Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation


7. BACKSTORY WOUND

This darkened path we've walked
Led us to nightmares we're unable to escape
Time runs out
Souls are fading
In a world build on our betrayal

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down

We are blinded by deadly venom
Jaws dripping with saliva
In time we're born to beg and kneel
Our minds are formed from ash and greed
The sky opens its veins to bleed
All life seems so fragile to me

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown

Can I hope for a better world
Or should I pray for my soon death

We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown


8. EIN DEUTSCHES REQUIEM

Selig sind
Die da Leid tragen
Denn Sie sollen getröstet werden
Die mit Tränen säen
Werden mit Freuden ernten

Tod
Wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle
Wo ist dein Sieg?

Ach wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen
Die doch so sicher leben
Der Gerechten Seele
Keine Qual rühret sie an

Tod
Wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle
Wo ist dein Sieg?

Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit aber ich will euch wieder sehen
Eur herz soll sich freuen
Eure Freude soll niemand von euch nehmen

Wir werden nicht alle entschlafen zu der Zeit der letzten Posaune
Der Tod ist verschlungen in der Sieg
Selig sind die Toten von nun an
Denn ihre Werke folgen ihnen nach

Tod
Wo ist dein Stachel
Hölle
Wo ist dein Sieg

Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit aber ich will euch wieder sehen
Euer herz soll sich freuen
Eure Freude soll niemand von euch nehmen

Tod
Wo ist dein Stachel
Hölle
Wo ist dein Sieg


9. VERGEBUNG

Instrumental


10. WELCOME DEATHROW

I won't complain
Since I watched me die
Soul and body reconciled
A nightmare overloaded
Enragement uncontrolled
Open your wings and let go
Unfold your wings for eternity

Welcome Deathrow
Bow down
Let go

I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September

I won't remain
Since I fell asleep
Old scars began to bleed
My senses overloaded
Thy hate grows uncontrolled
Absolution of existence
I sense the streams of blood
Carry my perception
Cut out my mortal soul

Our crime
Our cries
Your saviors endless hate
A savior blind with rage for you and me

I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September

A song for a broken man
Again down on your knees
Hell
Where is your victory
This is your last goodbye

Your heaven is raining blood
Even the ground is red flooded
The spark ignited itself
Open your eyes

Welcome Deathrow
Cure me in sorrow

I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September
