1. DESIGN FOR BLOOD

Again the dusk rapes the light and blood
Red vision covers my sight.
Again I fall into a realm where battles are fought,
Within my mind.
Forbidden, forgotten am I the last of my kind?
The night is waiting for me, it cherishes me with its might.

Lay your eyes up to the skies and behold the sight.
The stars have formed into a sign of Pentagram.
Under this cursed sky you shall combine your life with mine.

I watch you trough the eyes of wolves.
The choirs of the ravens it's my voice you hear.

Oh, how I love the night I get my strength from its might.
I cannot live in the light of day
I need the wine that runs through your veins.
This desire that keeps me alive,
It is and shall be forever my guide.

Faceless but yet my only shelter: the dark.
Here I belong, I am designed for blood.

The dreams about house of God are all nothing but lies.
And now you will see it with your own eyes.
Take the flame, burn yourself, see there's no pain.
The only thing inside your head is
The lust for more and more.

My days with God have never existed for
I have failed in his eyes.
You won't dare to show me your face, father of lies.

I watch you trough the eyes of wolves.
The choirs of the ravens it's my voice you hear.
I'll follow you until you're alone in the dark.
I'll baptize you with my desire for blood.

Faceless but yet my only shelter: the dark.
Again I must vanish into the night.

Again the dusk rapes the light and blood red vision covers my sight.
Again I fall into a realm where battles are fought, within my mind.
Forbidden, forgotten I am the last of my kind.
The night is waiting for me, it cherishes with its might.

My days with God have never existed for
I have failed in his eyes.


2. BORN TO DIE A 1000 TIMES

Every night I can see the sands
Of time running through my hands,
Yet every time it seems that they give me another chance.
All the times I've tried to die,
No years no words can ever tell.
I want to leave but I'm doomed to live in this hell.

Sometimes I try to live. It feels like
I'm made eternally to be.

Come funeral winds, embrace my soul.
Carry me to a place where I can...(die)

Every night I see the reflections before my eyes,
And every time I must see my precious ones die.
Over and over again the cycle is never ending.
Over and over again I hope for the veil
Of death over me to descend.

I was born to be a creation of death.
Again and again I must take my own life away.

Sometimes I have tried to live... I wish it would end. Again I have failed.

Come funeral winds, embrace my soul.
Carry me to a place where I can...(die)

Again I shed my life out from my veins.


3. PAIN + PLEASURE

Ashes of burned memories cover my marks from infinity.
But just how many times
I have walked this same path over again.

I can see the shine of deception in your eyes.
I was born to hate you and your kind.
You promise heaven, but all you can give is lies.

I see the fear of being left alone in your eyes.
All those ruined lives, corrupted minds with lies.

Now those forgotten souls scream
Your name from behind the graves.
There will be no tomorrow, there wasn't one today.
Every morning you will wake up
To see your own image in hell.
And the day will come when the lessons of suffering
Will be taught for you and your kind too.

I look into dimension of pain too absurd for man to realize.
And with joy in my heart I can see your upcoming destiny.

The force of black mind is much greater
Than you can ever realize.
You will suffer as I lay my wrath upon you.

I'll have my time to wait, but you will know my hate.
I will teach you the arts of pain and pleasure.

You're just a coward behind your shell,
You will rot in your own personal hell.

Feel the heat of flames to burn your flesh.
Were the flames really there or only inside your head?

Feel the razor cutting your skin,
Can't you see it's your own hand that moves the blade?

This is the art of pain and pleasure!
