Lyrics


1. GLOOMY GRIM - SAY JUST WORDS

You get high, with your destructive instinct
You get high, with your corrosive instinct
Where can I go, to escape your foul mind tricks
You're trying it more, but you will never break me

Cause you presume the winner is you, but that's not true, so say just words to me

Unreal what your hates providing, say just words to me
Your talk is always contradiction, say just words to me
Won't feel warmth of friends around you, say just words to me
Is it true that there is worth inside, so say just words to me

Your designs, all the worse from power craving
Your desires, only where there's fire burning
I'll show you the way, a pleasure that's for the taking
You're trying it more, you won't get satisfaction

Cause you presume the winner is you, but that's not true, so just say words to me


2. ORPHANED LAND - MERCY

You live for times of solace
Within a sign there's a promise
Don't lose all faith cause you shake at night
It's in the art of the process

In another rhyme, beyond this place
The healing's fast enough...
Done a thousand times, a thousands ways
Until you've had enough

It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more...

The loss of prize possessions
To cure the mind's obsession
Could trade your soul for that normal life
Elite to all objections...

See beyond all tears, and broken years
Your senses giving up
Lose all confidence at your expense
Your courage swallowed up


3. SEPTIC FLESH - THE LAST TIME

It's a struggle with a failures frown,
And it crashes in front of me,
I see the clouds divide,
Will you stay or try to leave.

The time you're looking at through the door,
And think to walk right through,
I want to ignore,
I only wish that it passes soon.

Hearts beating...

I rise a sunken smile,
As I serve only the ones who served,
What can I achive,
As you steal the air I breathe.

A cruel misfortune,
Forbidding is to see,
When stories may collide,
It's a sad stay of mind.

Hearts beating... for the last time

Hearts beating... for the last time
Hearts beating... it is a state of mind
Hearts beating... for the last time
The peace you cannot find


4. MISANTHROPE - FOREVER (SHATTERED) FAILURE

You must feel frustration,
'Cause your mind feels such temptation,
And your ways appear a total lack of faith.

You may feel elation,
At your body's re-creation,
And that joy you need, restricted by one thought.

Are you forever - loss of purpose in a passive life,
Are you forever - pale, regarded as a waste of time.

High times are courageous,
But it truth they suit no purpose,
Induced, reduced, unable and afraid...

Can you feel rejection,
And a lack of motivation,
And the joy you need, restricted and delayed.

Are you forever - loss of purpose in a passive life
Are you forever - pale, regarded as a waste of time


5. ON THORNS I LAY - TRUE BELIEF

Wretched will, host of pleasure surreal
Closed the room where the last is buried

Rise or fall at your master's request
You're unable to accept redemption

I don't know about a true belief here
With the 'lost' it's the same as always

All I want is the same, a true belief

You can't wait to become a memory
With the 'weak' it's the same as always

Stand confused lack of comprehension,
Re-aroused by a thought of madness

And I know that the truth is always right
But it's time to search for lies
You're the only I try to save
But the blood spills from your veins

Call counting time till the end
Death's wicked smile never fails
The curse is cast, you've lost the past
Forevermore, a candle burns here no more

I don't know about a century life
When the love of generations die

I can see no good in taking your own life
When any moment death calls...

All I want is the same, a true belief


6. LEGENDA - EMBERS FIRE

A fallen time that's bygone
A crude elite that's from a distant zone
You don't know if It's the truth you told

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones

Hold back desire for danger
A bet you lose, you'll have no way to turn
I see the man who lives and breathes corruption
Into a circle that you call you own

Don't run away, from the pain, A claim that you deal with
A power game, from within, Impossible for you to see this.

Laid down the laws of deceit
The ones who cherish are the ones who'll go
Into the ashes of a tortured world
Only in mind's eye can you see a light

Harmony break, dark awakes, in old eyes - the trouble, feel it
Here to stay, mark the way, improvise the judgment hearing

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the scense incandescent ones

All remains of the glowing embers
is a bleak cold irrelevance


7. ARGILE - AS I DIE (PITY THE SADNESS)

As I die

Stare as eyes uphold me
And wait to see right through
And curse me... The love has crippled you

Shadows haunt the night
Burning my disguise

Reaping through the truth
Life becomes untrue

Sin the last diversion
My fate will be untouched
Dismissed now, the anger of a fool

Shadows haunt the night
Forgive me as I die

Taking a chance
And take what you gain
My soul it has no price
Total release is out of harms way
Until I can decide
You push me, can't you see, I’m not real

------------------------------------------

Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contempt and sins priorities...
To crush good fortune
Morning...

Morning's calm, inside i cry
This painful live has raped my mind
Take me down, slow release
From sorrow's penetration
Morning...

Life is there for me
Hell is there for me

Sunlight greets my open wounds
Morning's light reflects the doom
My soul is free, it lives again
To roam alone in darkness
Morning...

I've cried for god
And I’ve cried for you
I pray that in the end your sense will break though

Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contest my sins priorities
Crushed my spirit to its knees


8. GODSEND - GOTHIC

Denying our restlessness
Frustrations tension eludes
The past was clean
Where thoughts were mild
The present day horrors alive
Slowly passing timeless horrors
Lives within all fear
The mourning in my tears
Drown all the past
We lived beneath these years
Awaiting for the call
For all life to expire
Passive to this day
To infinity we'll fail
The light is dim before us
Shadows appear and fall
A barrage of savage ways
Only the darkness can filter through


9. STILLE VOLK - THE PAINLESS

Locked inside this peaceful tomb
Entwined on seas of endless bliss
The painless... Strength is released
The horror passes through our eyes
Diversions cast upon our souls
The meek shall inherit our fears
Stray from this tranquil place
Guarded by all fear
Submit now to this curse
In out plight for existence
Reach the sky not falling down
Sunlight shines in heaven
Stray from this tranquil place
Guarded by all fears


10. YEARNING - ETERNAL

Why can't we hear
The time must come for us to leave here
Emotion has withered away
Our burnt out love has decayed
Obsessed to leave the earth
Tragedy has overrun since birth
Now our righteous father's weep
As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away
Cry at all that remains
'Chosen words' fail to sustain
The wisdom of powers heard
In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd
Now as hope and glory dies
We'll scream at our demise
Are we lost forever more?


11. NIGHTFALL - LOST PARADISE

(Instrumental)


12. SUP - ROTTING MISERY

Unleashed upon man
Their poisoning brains
An empty grasp - a threat to all those sane.

The daggers poised
For shallow minds
Unheard laughs...
Disrupting all mankind

This rotting misery

[Chorus]
The beggars are all gathered
No others rule supreme...
Rotting misery

Clouded realities
Brought before us
Their pointless lives
As all their faith is lost

Morbid existence
Of these poor souls
Now must die to exist no more

[Chorus]
