1. TO THE NINES

Without a care we stand fast before an endless sea
Impervious to any storm blowing our way
Without fear we glance into spiteful eyes
As we walk determined dressed to the nines

Carelessly we let them sling their pebbles at our feet
Continuously we blast and with integrity
We reemerge poised above it all

We will trample over them lo and behold
With ear crushing sounds and pens like daggers

We reemerge
Poised above it all

We will trample over them lo and behold
And reemerge poised above it all


2. BACKSTABBER

Break out a fight and raise your arms
Skip those heartbeats run chase the illusion
The indifference of few destroys us all

Like rings from drops in a pool of blood
We break like a sick single crop
And watch with bitter eyes no sound a frown
As we lose each and every time

Backstabber - do you feel safe
Tonight the streets will bleed again
Backstabber - do you feel safe

For the sake of nothing
It was all for nothing

Nothing will bring back fallen friends
Because once it's been drawn a circle has no end
The future falls when built on broken walls
And we are left looked upon standing tall

Tonight we walk these streets in blood
Leaving a trail right back to you
Backstabber - do you feel safe

Backstabber - do you feel safe
Tonight the streets will bleed again
Backstabber - do you feel safe
Backstabber - do you feel safe

Tonight the streets will bleed again
Backstabber circles are without an end
For the sake of nothing it was all for nothing


3. CLOAKED IN SHIT

The tides will rise and swallow the earth
And then evaporate in hellish flames
Leaving this world cold and cloaked in shit
For the father of lies has seen his prey and now he claims

Apocalypse here today - an army of flies will feast on our decay
No mercy no shelter - doom and terror shall pour throughout eternity

The inhabitants of hell shall walk the streets
To wallow in our disease infected flesh
We are heading for ruin and demise
Suffer under the lord of the flies

Apocalypse here today - the preacher of doom cries an omen of decay
No mercy no shelter - doom and terror will reign throughout eternity

No mercy
No shelter in these deserted days

Swallow the earth and leave this world cold and cloaked in shit
There is no shelter in these deserted days

Because we have brought this disease upon ourselves
And so these black wings will carry us away

Carry us away


4. CLARITY

I might be dead but I can still feel the shimmering tension
That hangs over my city like a poisonous cloud
It's choking me and what's left of this burning town
Makes me wanna douse myself in kerosene

And I've been talking to ghosts lately that say
This is the first day of the rest of our lives

The first day of the rest of our lives

Through vast darkened skies and into the arms of brothers from beyond

I stumbled upon clarity
And so this is me
Raining on your parade

This is the first day of the rest of our lives

You think the wheels run smooth when oiled by bullshit
And a guided tour of Copenhagen never seemed this sad
So here's a fist a knife and a handful of coffin nails

And I've been talking to ghosts lately that say
This is the first day of the rest of our lives

Of the rest of our lives


5. EVEN IF KILLS ME

I have a book collection that sits and screams
It's chock-full of memoirs based on the thousands of notes
I wrote about you and me

Some say it's a long shot
I say not even centuries of sleep
Could prepare me for what you had in store for us

And when the mechanics bend
And the clock ticks we can say

If it kills you it kills you


6. COMMENCING A CAMPAIGN

[Instrumental]


7. THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL

Waiting for dinner conversations
To turn into a slaughtering affair
So we begin

Waiting for the massacre
To hit you in the head
So we begin

Our tongue breaking degradation
Set - set to please

But if you think we'd degrade ourselves
Then you've clearly been had
When death and destruction
Is the only measure of our state of content

Our tongue breaking degradation
Set - set to please

Holding on to something real by an arms length
It ain't over 'till the writing's on the wall

These will be the final words
May you choke on them


8. IN THE TRENCHES

Feel free to try just know that I will kill you
Your mouth untrue unravelling with rancid filth
As charming as a snake you'll be put to sleep
With a blast from here and to oblivion

No more self proclaimed and sacred shit
I will tear these lies apart
And in blasphemous disgust
I will mark the start of the killing

For I am a devil here to do the devils work
The utmost unholy the baddest motherfucker in hell

No more self proclaimed and sacred shit
I will tear these lies apart
Anguish and turmoil will rot you inside out

I am a devil here to do the devils work
The utmost unholy the baddest motherfucker in hell

Fake and worthless you have spread your illness wide
But today I will deprive you of life

Take your fucking life
Take your life


9. AURORA

Slow dancing in high speed lanes
A radiant rampage made to sustain
In these troubled times we are
Dancing like train wrecks only to wake up with a broken neck

Spin - spin - spin until we're out of orbit
We are repeating our story
So spin and spin again until we are out of orbit

I'm here to watch it burn
Embrace the flames with open arms
Breathe in night out
And be sent off swaying away into the blur

Into the blur

Slow dancing in high speed lanes
Blindfolded head down the drain
We are all dangling with broken necks

I'm here to watch it burn
Embrace the flames with open arms
Breathe in night out
And be sent off swaying away into the blur

Into the blur we sway away


10. OCEANS OF BLOOD

Let's go

I am the nemesis of sense and moderation
I will annihilate twist and break and devastate
Show me your enemy and I will bring him to his knees
Footprints of death I will leave in wake

I am pain - I am darkness - I am strife
I am the constant evil dwelling in this life
I am darkened skies and I am war
I am the bastard son of an angel whore

In these heydays of slaughter there's a storm blowing your way
A swaying ocean of blood and knocked out teeth
Sitting on pedestals I'm pulling strings with a deviant smile on my face

With a burning passion for detest
I'll feed inside you
I'm rising again inside you
Inside your chest I'm rising

Hate is my domain
Hate is my domain

I am war

I am pain - I am darkness - I am strife
I am the constant evil dwelling in this life
I am darkened skies and I am war
I am the bastard son of an angel whore
