1. PREY

I got an axe to grind, a crooked mind
You better watch your back
I got an axe to grind, a crooked mind
You better watch your back
Starved like a vampire chasing a vein
Cruel disposition, sickness I crave
Attention, attention, welcome to the stage
Your new sacrifice, come sharpen your teeth

Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow
Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow, our sorrow
Prey, prey, we're prey for the sorrow
Prey, prey, prey for the sorrow

I got an axe to grind, a crooked mind
You better watch your back
I got an axe to grind, a crooked mind
You better watch your back
Sick validation, gut full of pills
Self-medication, it's making me ill
Attention, attention, it's all eyes on me
I'll burn at the stake while you ache for the kill

Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow
Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow, our sorrow
Prey for the sorrow, our sorrow
Prey, prey, we're prey for the sorrow
Prey, prey, prey for the sorrow

Our new gods are empty like the holes in our heads
We dance upon the alter of envy and hubris
A scourge of narcissism reaps depression in black waves
If this is your salvation, you better pray
You better pray
You better pray
One, two, three, go

Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow
Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow, our sorrow
Prey, prey, we're prey for the sorrow
Prey, prey, prey for the sorrow


2. CARRION

Carrion
In a moment I'm lost
Dying from the inside
Her eyes take me away
Tear me apart from the inside out
Dead eyes speak in volumes?
But our lips refuse to move
Could this ever be the last time?
The final time that we see this through?

Give me the strength to return
Return the breath you've stolen
Give me the means to reset
Her heart I've broken again
Reflection built upon sorrow
We're walking the darkest roads
Within chests carved with regret

In a moment I've lost
Dying from the inside
Her eyes take me away
Tear me apart from the inside out
From the inside out
The inside out

We've been running blind
Now we're falling through the cracks
We're left running
We are running blind
Now we're falling
Falling through the cracks

Back to the world of the dead
Her shining eyes mark our return back
To the world of the dead
In a moment I've lost
Drowning from the inside
Her eyes take me away
Tear me apart
From the inside out

My love I left
My heart I left
With my promise to return
A promise to return


3. KARMA

Crashing to the surface.
My convictions lay bare before the tempest.
As chaos explodes around me, I find myself in the jaws of destruction.
Tested, by the force of the tempest.
Pushed, to the point of no return.
Losing ground.
Let the steel of my resolve be not bested by the sum of my fears.
Clarity unfolds, a moments calm in the eye of the storm.
Relentless, I surge onward.
Surfacing.
No regrets.
No second chance.
Nothing will hold me back.
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart home.
Carry me home.
Tension clings to me.
Resistance coils inside.
Forcing me down, I fear nothing, into Poseidon's arms.
Forcing me down, I fear nothing, I must hold on.
This is a strength born in misery.
A focus cut of this insanity.
I fight my way from the gates of hell.
I hold on.
A body, locked in the vice grip of conflict.
A mind, sharpened on the shards of disappointment.
And from the depths of Hell I rise.
From gilded cage, my spirit flies.
Memories of another life call me home.
Surfacing.
Shipwrecked bones
carry my seasick heart home.


4. THE VOID

Nothing can save us, nothing between
Infinite madness and the spiral of humanity
Nothing controls us, nothing breeds
The void awakens in the quickening of atrophy

Answer no master, never the slave
Carry your dreams down into the grave
Every heart, like every soul
Equal to break

It's alive
Can you feel it taking hold again
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
Welcome to a world of pain

Nothing kills us, nothing seethes
Extinction riding on the pale horse of destiny
Nothing hates us, nothing can see
Through our eyes it dives into our minds and sows its disease

Answer no master, never the slave
Carry your dreams down into the grave
Every heart, like every soul
Equal to break

It's alive
Can you feel it taking hold again
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
Welcome to a world of pain

(It's alive, can you feel it)

It's alive
Can you feel it taking hold again
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
It's alive
Can you feel it
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
Welcome to a world
Welcome to a world of pain


5. IDOLS AND ANCHORS

Now,
Your heroes have fallen.
Championless,
The seas are rising.

So torch every banner,
Every hope of surviving.
This storm is breaking.
Security has left you,
Treading water.

Now taste the fear.
Taste the uncertainty.

What will you do?
When there's nothing left for you to cling to.
What will you do?
With your one last breathe.
Thrive in your emptiness.

Burn all you love.
There's no hope for the weak.
Our heroes have died.

No heart...
No Hope.

Face to face,
With the Abyss (with the Abyss),
One by one they fall away
And won't be missed

Can you hear it?
Can you hear the sound?
As our broken Idols,
Come crashing down.

Now taste the fear.
Now, taste, the, fear.

Burn all you love.
There's no hope for the weak.
Our Heroes have died.
Burn all you love.
There's no hope for the weak.

Burn all you love


6. DEDICATED

Twelve years I’ve fought for this
Twelve years, my heart still beats
For the ones who’ve stood beside me
Still strong
You can’t break me

Twelve years I’ve fought for this
Twelve years, my heart still beats
For the ones who’ve stood beside me
Through the values that define me
No compromise, no surrender
These beliefs, they make me whole
Never the breaker, promise keeper
Remains the ethic instilled in me

Never one to bite my tongue
Never turn, never run
I’ve seen with my own eyes
The price of life and the cost of lies

You can’t shut this down
I still spit fire
This truth rings loud
You better listen up
You
Can’t
You can’t break me

Twelve years I’ve fought for this
Twelve years, blood sweat and tears
For my family here beside me
True to the ethos held inside me

Life pushes hard, you push back
Time makes its mark, you gotta stand the test
Every dog has its day
We make it count
We find our own way

You can’t shut this down
I still spit fire
This truth rings loud
You better listen up
You
Can’t
You can’t break me

Twelve years I’ve fought for this
Twelve years, my heart still beats
For the ones who’ve stood beside me
Still strong motherfucker so step back

Through blood, sweat, tears
We’re still here

Unbreakable


7. ABSOLUTE POWER

Your heart, your home, your voice, it's got a price tag
Sign in blood, bury your rights in a body bag
They're feeding fear through the fault lines
You heard it here first, they got your freedoms on the front line
Prime time, the noose at our throats
Our liberties hands run with blood of the scapegoats
So tell me, how can we demonize
When we can't see life through another's eyes

Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm


The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb
The battle is on

Hands in chains for a fist full of dollars
Who do we blame for the holes in our knowledge
The past you know has been written by the victor
So I ask you now, who is it writing your future
The butcher, the liar, the thief or the killer
Your freedom died quiet in the halls of power
Starved for peace we'll eat war until it kills us
Six feet deep with a belly full of bullets

Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm

The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb
The battle is on

The hate runs deep but our hopes cut deeper
Now we walk through the valley in the shadow of the reaper
Money talks, and it's speaking in tongues
They put a price on our soul, like they had already won
Now open wide
I see their jaws locked tight
Silent in the moment, like prey in the floodlights
The signal is static, baptised in fire
Now we see how they talk
With a mouth full of barbed wire

Absolute power [x3]
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Absolute power [x3]
Absolute power corrupts

The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb
The battle is on

The truth drops like a...

Absolute power corrupts absolutely


8. WILD EYES

We built our dreams from the ashes of your nightmares
Carried our father's sins, from the cradle to the grave
We paved our paths through the darkness that you left us in
Now we ride in the belly of the beast
We are the diamonds that choose to stay coal
A generation born to witness the end of the world

Against the grain
Against the odds
Against the world
Forever the underdogs

We are the bastard sons.
We are the ones that refuse to grow cold
We are the thorn in your side
We are the thieves in the night
And we're coming to take what's ours

No regrets
We inherit the sins of the fathers, now reap the vengeance

From the ashes of your nightmares
From the cradle to our grave
We blazed our path through the darkness that you left us in
Now we ride in the belly of the beast
We are the diamonds that choose to stay coal
A generation born to witness the end of the world

Born to witness the end of the world

Viva the underdogs


9. CHRONOS

You answer to me

I am the thunder and the rain
The confusion and the pain
And when I leave I will wash your wounds clean
And leave them golden

I got the whole world swingin' from the end of my chain
And I'm calling
I got your life in my hands and every debt will be paid
And I'm calling

Between the spark and the ember
You are smoke threading the wind

In time
All will return to me
In time
All find an end
You answer to me

I am the fight and the fury
Gravity in all its glory
And when I come around I bring the hammer of god
Down upon you

I got the whole world swingin' from the end of my chain
And I'm calling
I got your life in my hands and every debt will be paid
And I'm calling
Stop

Between the spark and the ember
You are smoke threading the wind

In time
All will return to me
In time
All find an end
In time
All will return to me
In time
You'll find no other way
You answer to me

I am the end
And the beginning

I am the end
And the beginning
I am forever
I am eternal and nothing stands against me

You answer to me
You answer to me
You answer to me


10. CRUSHED

Brothers, my brothers. Is this all that we are
Sisters, my sisters. We've been crushed by the fists of God

Welcome to the free world
Where nothing's as it seems
Tell me, can you find a cure
When you can't see, and you can't feel the disease
Can you seek a higher truth
When you're living on your knees
Where freedom grows from blood soaked soil
In the lands of hypocrisy

Because if you can't see the chains tell me what use is a key
It's cash, blood and oil, in the age of the refugee
They're trying to buy our minds, we ain't selling
Bang, bang, bang, hear they're nailing down the coffins

Cut the strings, feel your heart start
Cut the cord
Crack this code of silence
All our lives in the hands of tyrants

Crushed by the fists of God. Crushed
Crushed by the fists of God. Crushed

We've been crushed by the fists of God
We've been crushed by the fists of God

To the left I see the rats and to the right I see the snakes
In my ear they're whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate
So do you buy the fear, or do you buy the lies
Tell me, what will set us free
Do we kneel before the crooked few
Or do we bite the fucking hand that feeds

When death casts no shadow and hope carries no weight
Rise into the light and feel the shackles fade away
They fear what we know, We know how they break
Bang, bang, bang, drop the hammer of conscience

Cut the strings, feel your heart start
Cut the cord. Crack this code of silence. All our lives

Crushed by the fists of God. Crushed
Crushed by the fists of God. Crushed

We've been crushed by the fists of God
We've been crushed by the fists of God

We're just waiting for the sky to fall
Yeah I'm just waiting
Feels like all our lives we've been waiting for the sky to fall
Feels like all this time we've been

Brothers, my brothers
Is this all that we are
Sisters, my sisters
We've been

Crushed by the fists of God

Crushed by the fists of God. Crushed


11. BOTTOM FEEDER

I’ve heard enough
No more, no more
You’ve had your time in the sun
Keep your head down kid, your fifteen seconds are done
I know it hurts, I wanted it this way
All these years, I’m still the voice you can’t destroy

I know how this one ends
Lying in the gutter spitting teeth at the sidewalk
I know how this one ends
So bite your tongue if you can’t tame it

Let’s get this straight, while you’re listening
In my world you count for nothing

Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You’ll be the one to drown

Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder

I’ve heard enough
I’ve heard enough to know
Who talks the talk, who walks the walk
And who’s for fucking show
I know it hurts, I know it cuts
That I’m still standing
I’m everything you’re fucking not

I know how this one ends
Running from the world as your lies begin to cave
I know how this one ends
Your hollow words make shallow graves

Let’s get this straight, while you’re listening
In my world you count for nothing

Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown

Bottom feeder

Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You’ll be the one to
Drown

Bottom feeder

See I feel no guilt, like I feel no pain
Like I feel the fire running through my veins
You can’t draw blood when my heart beats cold
And I’ll take your word like I take your name
An ego lost in the valley of self disdain
Pride cometh before the fall
And you’ll break as I watch it all collapse

No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can’t escape now snap your neck to this

You snap your neck to this

No mercy, No peace. You fucking bottom feeder
No mercy, No peace. You fucking bottom feeder
Fuck!


12. WURGEGRIFF (VICE GRIP)

Ein Kampf um Herz und Verstand

Wir stehen für die Schwachen und Gebrochnen
(Hope) Und die Hoffnung
Ein Licht, ein Licht im Dunkeln


13. DIE LEERE (THE VOID)

Nichts kann uns retten, vor diesem Biest
Endloses Chaos zwingt die ganze Menschheit in die Knie
Nichts kontrolliert uns, nichts das kriecht
Die Leere weitet sich im Fortschreiten von Atrophie

Hab' keine Meister, niemals versklavt
Trag' all deine Träume hinab ins Grab
Jedes Herz wie jede Seele -
Zum Brechen verdammt

Und es lebt
Kannst du es fühlen?
Wie es Besitz ergreift?
In deinem Kopf sind Dämonen, unendlicher Lärm
Willkommen in der Welt des Schmerzes

Nichts kann uns töten, nichts das besiegt
Da, wo das fahle Pferd des Untergangs die Bahnen zieht
Nichts hasst uns, nichts was uns sieht
Durch die Augen dringt die Seuche in den Verstand

Hab' keine Meister, niemals versklavt
Trag' all deine Träume hinab ins Grab
Jedes Herz wie jede Seele -
Zum Brechen verdammt

Und es lebt
Kannst du es fühlen?

Und es lebt
Kannst du es fühlen?
Wie es Besitz ergreift?
In deinem Kopf sind Dämonen, unendlicher Lärm
Willkommen in der Welt des Schmerzes


14. SCHATTENBOXEN (SHADOW BOXING) (FT. CASPER)

Do you see me?
Do you see what I've become?
I'm not the same beast
I leave a scar on all I touch

You think you know me now
Is it better than I know myself?
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you've misjudged

Es war mein ganzen Leben lang
So, dass jeder sagt, ich wär gefangen
In der Gegend und im Leben nie was werden kann, ah
Alle die meinten, ich träumte, sind die Gleichen, die keine Verfolgten
Ungezähmt und verleugnet, doch ich weiß, wer Feind und Freund ist hier

Mein Leben lang mit dem Tod schattengeboxt
Und ich tanz mit dem Teufel bis zum letzten Song

So do you see me?
Do you see what I've become?
I'm not the same beast, no
I leave a scar on all I touch

You think you know me now
Is it better than I know myself?
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you've misjudged

Lauf bitte 'ne Meile mit meinen Schuhen
Doch vergiss deine Blasenpflaster nicht
Verdammt, ich schattenboxe mit dem Tod, lach dem Bastard ins Gesicht (Ja, ja)
Du wirst mich nie kennen und kanntest mich nie
Keiner kann mich retten, wenn ich diese Maske verlier (Uh)

Mein Leben lang mit dem Tod schattengeboxt
Und ich tanz mit dem Teufel bis zum letzten Song
Ich bleib entspannt und lass den Hass nicht killen
Diese Maske hält mich jung und bleibe schön

The world you know was born to fade
We'll dance upon its grave

Ey yo, ich rannte mit den Ratten, schwamm in haiverseuchtem Wasser
Gab ihnen alles, was ich hatte, doch bekam zurück nur Hass ab
Ich tanze bis zum letzten Song, nur der Teufel und ich
Brauche keine Feinde mehr, hab ich Freunde wie dich
Niemand kann dich retten

Und ich tanz mit dem Teufel bis zum letzten Song
Ich bleib entspannt und lass den Hass nicht killen
Diese Maske hält mich jung und bleibe schön
Diese Maske hält mich jung und bleibe schön
