1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. THE CONSEQUENCES OF GUILT

Did you think you could live a life without regard to sacrifice?
All the suffering and damage that you caused will never have its price?

Your demons will cling to you
They will never let you go
The smell of blood on your hands
Always shows them where you are

Sadism - They torture you at night
Odium - They will hold you tight
Perdition - Prepare for an endless fight
Affliction - They will never let you go

Your life of sin
You always acted to your advantage
You took the easiest paths
Now you commit the hardest end

An end of torment
A never ending nightmare
A fate fulfilled
The consequence of guilt


3. REDEMPTION IN SELF DESTRUCTION

There is no reason why
I don’t understand
My permanent wish to die
Follows me until the end

Unbearable pain
An endless emptiness
I’m going insane
With my constant distress

I take the knife and I cut deep into the flesh
What a relief when the blood flows along my limbs
What a dark desire!
Extinguish the fire!
Redemption in self-destruction
The only way to relieve the pain

Redemption in self-destruction
A slow way to die
The pain fills my emptiness
A quiet, silent cry

Today is the day
The last of all days
My mind is made up
For a long time I’ve planned this
Silently, I will disappear
No one will miss me
I put an end to my worthless life

How can I express if I don't understand myself
I find no strength to deal with my inner emptiness
I lose the ground under my feet
I guess it’s my destiny
I’ll set the next cut deeper
And finally face the end


4. REBIRTH IN BLACK

Admittedly, it hasn’t been easy
You have been fighting for a long time
Conditions were not good, often misunderstood
Many mountains had to be climbed

Time to step out of the shadow of others
The rainy days must have an end
These days are numbered, now take your destiny
Finally into your own hands

Pure power unleashed!
Boundless desire permitted!

Driven by frustration, a new creature is born
Ready to go to the extreme
All obstacles left behind, the monster starts to grow
Ready to commit his sins

Under the cover of night it roams around, looking for its victims.
One after another it pulls them out to slaughter them quickly.

Transformation - reborn in evil
Into a new breed

Transformation - reborn in evil
Into a killing machine

For too long I have suffered to please you all
I have given everything to meet all your demands
The time is right for a change, a change for me, a change for all

Rebirth in black!

Rebirth in black, my reincarnation
The robe of the dead suits me well
As the Grim Reaper, I roam the alleys and
One by one I send them to hell

In new attire you have found new power
And a new dark consciousness
No longer victim, by all you are feared
With new power, with new strength

Feels good, tastes good, the flavor of blood
Every time you take a new life
No one dares to doubt you, and even those who would
Feel the painful sting of your knife


5. THE PLAGE

The biggest disruptive factor
An imbalance in the equation
Let us look in the mirror

We are the disturbance of the equilibrium
Our ignorance makes us miss all the ultimatums
We are entering the darkest millennium
We are the plague - Misanthropy

Grace for the earth
Grace for the fauna
Grace for the flora
Misanthropy

For a change for the better
Reflect on your existence
In the last consequence
Misanthropy

Destroyed in a hundred years what has grown in millions
The legacy of a degenerated species
Instead of acting, we are incapable of reaching an agreement
To stop the exploitation of our own subsistence
Whoever shows that much stupidity deserves extermination

Love for the earth - Misanthropy
Love for the fauna - Misanthropy
Love for the flora - Misanthropy
Love for yourself - Misanthropy


6. THOUGHTS OF THE EARTH

No origin, no destination
I wander through the nothingness
No thought of the future
Never had a past
Alone and satisfied

In the open space, freed from the light
In silence and deep peace within
From my bliss and my freedom aside
Can I live a life without sin

For billions of years
Abandoned by all
No laughter no tears
Safe in monotony

The virus approaches
Silently and deviously it overcomes me and becomes my worst enemy, sucks me dry, takes me as a host, takes my freedom, infests me and robs of me my life force

Yet what happens next
No one expects
The virus' virus
Enters the scene
And brings the change
Finally free
From infestation
On my own again!

I am free - finally
Silently - extinguished
Glad to see - all turns to the good
Liberty - from this parasite

No origin, no destination
I wander through the nothingness
No thought of the future
Left the past behind
Alone and satisfied


7. SERVE AS SLAVE

The whorehouse called economy
To which you have sold your soul
No matter how high the losses are
You make sure the machine runs

Your material achievements
Show everyone who you are
But appearances are deceiving
You are a little slave at the core

The balance sheet will show
If the bill works out for you
You can spin it either way
You are a slave to money

Competition, merciless
Any means will do for you
Everything has its price
As it seems you have one too

You’ve fought the monsters for too long
Now you’ve become a monster too
And now you know when I tell you that
The abyss gazed straight into you - too


8. INSIGHTS OF A DYING MAN

A man on his deathbed
His life comes to the end
He says „I wish I had
changed the life that I led“

Satisfying expectations instead of living your own life
Waiting for relief that never arrives
Endure, do not rebel, fit in with the masses
Even if you are suppressed

My late perception as my life fades away
So many wrong decisions, decisions never made
A life in regret, a life of shame
I had it in my own hands, there’s only me to blame

In front of my master, I open my eyes
They day of judgement, I realize
My time on earth, a waste of time
A time that’s never coming back

And here I am now
At this late insight
Realizing the fact
I followed a lie

Left by all that is dear to me
Alone and in perpetual darkness
This guilt that I bear
Devours me even after death


9. ALL FOR NONE

One day we’ll wake up and see what we’ve become
The thing we call humanity is almost gone
Fake ideas suddenly become acceptable
All is lost that makes us who we are

All for none - None for all

We live in a divided world
Common ground breaks apart
Dissension as the new standard
Instilled by the powerful
Delusion and reality
The difference gets unclear

Duped dissatisfied victims become a dangerous mob
With insane ideas they storm our foundations
They endanger the life and limb of people of all kinds
With their more than dubious state of mind

All for none - None for all

There is no room in
This society
For this idiocy
No one needs you!

It is time to fight for our values
It must not happen again
Be warned, be aware, be awake, be alert


10. TIME TELLS

I will be running after you, I won’t disappear
I know no pain, no weaknesses, I know no fear
I am invincible, I cannot die
I am here and everywhere
So the question is: Who am I?

I am the one who wakes you and guides you through the day
I am the one who sticks to you and never lets you go
I’ve always been here and also intend to stay
The one that makes you suffer, the one - that makes you pray

I am the one who is so relevant
The one who is in complete control
I am and will be your pestilence
I will guide you on your rise and fall

I only know one direction and sometimes I almost fly
My goal is reached easily and that is when you die

If you lose me you will never find me again
I am the most precious thing that you can spend
I am the wisest counselor of all
If you don’t wait for me, I won’t wait for no-one

You feel me
You know me

Time is my essence, my weapon and being
I will be with you and will always be here
I am the oldest force of nature
I know the past, the present and the future


11. I LIVE FOR YOUR DEATH

I live for your death
You messed with the wrong one
This time you’ve gone too far
In duel one on one
There’s no way out, this night one of us will be gone

I live for your death
Action causes reaction
A law as old as matter
Finally be a man!
Now face your opponent
And take, again!

Your existence has been for all
No more than an inconvenience
Your life’s lasted for far too long
I will correct this circumstance

The guns are loaded
My knives are sharpened too
My weapons are aligned
They are aimed at - you!

I live for your death
Your death is my reason to live
I live for your death
There’s nothing else you can give me

My destiny is to put an end to your life
You are nothing but a parasite
Who has lived too long at the expense of others
The time is over, now you are looking the end in the face
No mercy, no second chance - we are far from grace!
