1. AXE TO GRIND

Hiding in darkness
Surrounded by rivals
You’re doing your best to survive
It may seem like that
But you know and we know that
You’re not even willing to try

Eluding, deceiving – it’s your way of living
With mentality under siege
You’re playing the victim
As false flags wave on the wind

To hide your true intents
You’re trying to kill the lights
But we know
That you’ve got your own axe to grind

Impenitent liar, energy vampire
Hindering all that we do
Your reign here is over
And now it’s the time that
You get what is coming for you

Indecision
Turning to
Faith that withers
Faith in you

To hide your true intents
You’re trying to kill the lights
But we know
That you’ve got your own axe to grind

I’m aching in silence
Thinking ‘bout love that I give
And waiting futilely
For love that I’ll never receive
I’m so sick and tired of waiting
As patience eats up all my days
I won’t cower like you did before me
I’ll wipe off that smile from your face

Pounding and punching the walls of your prison
There’s no salvation in sight
The beast is awaken and you are exposed
So why won’t you give in to fright tonight?

Disturbing silence as you’re under our control
Ravaging sanity, we’re here now to break the mold


2. DEVILIN

It's time to challenge this nightmare
Stand with fear face to face
Resist urge to unleash this fury
That would leave fatal trace

Devilin! Devilin!
I’ve been told you were gone
Devilin! Devilin!
The time has come – welcome home!

Now I stand here defiant
Though they’re calling my name
How long will it take me to give in?
Relent and give demons free rein

Devilin! Devilin!
I’ve been told you were gone
Devilin! Devilin!
The time has come – welcome home!

Il dolce suono
Mi colpi di sua voce
Ma il sue incanto
Non calma il mio furor

Silence – it falls upon the blood-soaked floor
Drops are shining like dew
I was hoping it’s over, but in an hour
Nightmare’s started anew

Devilin! Devilin!
I’ve been told you were gone
Devilin! Devilin!
The time has come – welcome home!


3. VIRUS

So you walk upon the surface
Of this wasted ground
It was once a fertile soil
Well, now it had dried up

It’s all your fathers left
Fleeing in stampede
From plagues that they’d incurred
Hunting for divinity

We’ve been wandering around
Forcing our way
Harnessing nature at will
Now we’re down on the ground
Like never we’re free
Yet burdened with weight of the sins of humanity

We are virus of the world

And the wheels just keep on turning
With the strident sound
Recalling our nations’ abattoir

Ripping and killing and tearing apart
For the power taste
I wish we had woken up
But it’s too late

We’ve been wandering around
Forcing our way
Grabbing our weapons at whim
Now we’re down on the ground
How will it be?
We’ll be remembered as only beings killing for peace

We are virus of the world

Our massive roots are burning
Our culture cast into the sea
Our eyes are full of yearning
But maybe it’s better to leave?


4. ZODIAC

Indifferent – that’s what I am to you
Haphazard – a man without a clue
But now you, little girl with eyes so grey
You wish you were a thousand miles away

What a time to be alive
(Although how can you tell?)
People landing on the moon
Others down here with pledge to kill

In the wake of so called progress
I am faithful to old ways
Every time I feel the urge
I go hunting with my blade

I confess, I want to call you my own
From chaos to order – you’re dead by dawn

To tell the truth I’m most amused
With how seriously I am taken
But I don’t care ‘bout all these fools
Who help to get my message through

There’s something deep inside of me
That’s yearning deep inside of me
It’s not for eyes of everyone
But I assure that you will see…

I want it, I want to call you my own
From chaos to order – you’re dead by dawn

So when I smell your sweat
Aroused by acts of mine
That’s when I hear
“It’s time to kill”

And when you turn your head
Look straight in my flashlight
I hope you understand
And bleed for me

I want it, I want you
I wanna be near you
And see your face forever young

I want it, I want you
I wanna be near you
Remember you gaze to unknown


5. HELL IS COMING

A wake up call to all the living
Though we are dead, we’re not forgiving
Call it a warning or a price to pay
But it doesn’t matter now, as we’re just here to say that
A sick breed must be wiped out all the way
As we’re sick of your mindless shit everyday
So it’s time that we dissent, take your fate in our hands
So you can get what you deserve

Going down, rotten to the core
Not to die – no, the fun has just begun

Hell is coming now

Day of reckoning’s today
And no scum will may it through
All the people you betrayed
Shall point fingers and judge you

Of deception – you are guilty!
Of greed and envy – you are guilty!
Of being wicked – you are guilty!
Guilty as charged you are!
Recidivist, unrepentant…
There’s no way that you’ll be redeemed

Going down, rotten to the core
Not to die – no, the fun has just begun

Hell is coming now

Way beyond the lapse of time
For heavens you aim
But stained your spirit will guide you down

Hell is coming now


6. LA SANTA MUERTE / THE TRIUMPH OF LIFE

When you’re born
The youngest of the brood
You hate it from the start
Torn from mother’s womb

As you grow old
You learn to understand
But nothing can prepare you to
Return to nothingness

Put out fire
Cut the wire
Algid pageant
They know…

In death we’ll unite
Humble acolytes
All unite

Now that you’re gone
And your existence fades
It’s time to see what’s left
Have you made a difference?

You see, the world don’t owe you anything
But does it work both ways?
Equal in death
Modest and pale

Life is pilfered
Cunning reaper
Pristine soul is fleeing

In death we’ll unite
Docile acolytes
Attenuated and deplored

8. LIVET ÄR STUNDEN

Du druknar I lögnernas hav
Ljuv svekets ström blandar med ditt blod
Grip om skäran och försök
Fördröja ett oundvikligt slut

Liv, död, kval
Livet är stunden

Det är alltid blind som leder blind
Försöker så hårt och får inget
Sanningen kan aldrig hittas
Så varför slösar du din tid?

Liv, död, kval
Livet är stunden

I skuggan där ditt liv tar slut
Tystnaden som damm faller på din grift
Oskyldig som alla som dör
Men finns det ingen att sörja

Liv, död, kval
Livet är stunden


9. METRO

You wish for power to fill their hearts with hope
Countless hours they’re spending all alone
Incarceration – their way to live
You feel there’s world out there
But no-one would believe

Sad faces – yet smile with pity
Watching as you try

Ruminations reoccur
Dreams of the world that’s faded away
Germination of a wish to leave
Is haunting you day after day

In desperation you try to tell them all
Salvation is a prize for loneliness
With trepidation they listen to the truth
That’s spreading over like fast decay

You’re locked up and tried
The verdict – guilty as charged

Ruminations reoccur
Dreams of the world that’s faded away
Germination of a wish to leave
Is haunting you day after day

Feel your stomach churning
Lesson that you’re learning
Still you can’t embrace a lie
Cling to one desire
Words now burn like fire
As they ask “How do you want to die?”

Left outside the gates
With none but your name
Cast out from your tribe
Cursed till end of time

The jackals howling bring hope instead of doom
If they survived, you know you’ll make it too

Ruminations disappeared
No longer skeptics will lead you astray
Your destination – who will ever know?
You’re off to find what’s on your way
