Lyrics

1. THE CHAINHEART MACHINE

I am the sledgehammer messiah
Waiting for sins to be born
And if you stop for a moment
You can hear the machines
Are playing your song
There's nowhere to run
And nowhere to speak
I'm gaining you're falling
Into me

Tell me you piece of shit
How does it feel
To be down here with me?
Living, living
Dreaming dreaming
Drowning, drowning

Chainheart machine
By cosmic retribution
I've been sent

'Cause I'll rise
(I'll rise)
You'll fall
(You'll fall)
Roll the dice!
(Roll the dice)
My call
My call

Tick tock, time to die
No use reaching as time goes by
Self absorbed egotistical fuck!
I'm reigning your life!

Chainheart machine
By cosmic retribution
I've been sent

'Cause I'll rise
(I'll rise)
You'll fall
(You'll fall)
Roll the dice!
(Roll the dice)
My call
My call

Preaching for the sun
They say there
They say there is a sun
So I'm preaching
I'm preaching for the sun
They say there
They say there is a sun

My body is chained to
The ground where I walk
They stalk they hunt
My every thought with
Execution, evolution
Disillusion, pre-conclusion
Why is it me?

Chainheart machine
Your suffering
Will be legendary
Even in hell!

'Cause I'll rise
(I'll rise)
You'll fall
(You'll fall)
Roll the dice!
(Roll the dice)
My call
My call

'Cause I'll rise
(I'll rise)
You'll fall
(You'll fall)
Roll the dice!
(Roll the dice)
My call
My call


2. BULLETBEAST

Mirror mirror on the wall?
Who's the mightiest of them all?
Every little question, none who will be answered...
Staring at the bulletbeast pointing his gun!

Killing, there's nothing in my seeing what's wrong
Running! Or is it just that I'm...
Fearing! In fears for your lives, you scream like a pig!
Thrilling! My pulse will go up! And yours will go down!

Why! Why! I'm in for the quest
There's no turning back once you've tried!
Why! Why! You're all laid to rest
The bullet is sent by the king!

Once again I'll tell you my friend
Don't trust anything you'll see
'Redrum' overdose telling no lies
My Trigger-Finger is divine!

Hatelights! Aim at the chest, fire at will!
Lesson! A lesson in pain, waiting for...
Vengeance! Chasing my footsteps not to be found
Instruction, Instructor unknown, but he will proceed!

Why, Why! But you won't resist
I'm back once again, I will kill!
Why, Why! I'm put to the test
I'll never go down to the ground!

So you wanna play rough?
Say hello to my little friend!
With my finger on the trigger
You're watching the judge of today!

Killing! There's nothing in my seeing what's wrong!
Running! Or is it just that I'm...
Fearing! In fears for your lives, you scream like a pig!
Thrilling! My pulse will go up! And yours will go down!

Why! Why! I'm in for the quest
There's no turning back once you've tried!
Why! Why! You're all laid to rest
The bullet is sent by the king!

Last time, last sign, My face have turned to dust
Underground, no sound, of human innocence!

Hatelights! Aim at the chest, fire at will!
Lesson! A lesson in pain, waiting for...
Vengeance! Chasing my footsteps not to be found
Instruction, Instructor unknown, but he will proceed!

Why, Why! But you won't resist
I'm back once again, I will kill!
Why, Why! I'm put to the test
I'll never go down to the ground!


3. MILLIONFLAME

Inside you, I feel you from inside
Satisfaction built on sin!
Condemn everything.. who says what is wrong
Drown in my eyes, no need.. to deny!

I scream! Feel my devil inside you..
Gaining! Reaching diabolic speed!

I reach, I feel you're lost!
Millions of flames in your eyes!

I command the gods of time
Make this dream never end
Imagination? Evil salvation?
Red light's city makes you burn!

Oceans... of immortal speed!
I'm the hand, sweeping over midnight's land!

I reach, I feel you're lost!
Millions of flames in your eyes!

...So sell your soul and be mine!

Come on, let's go!

I decide if you will rise!
Total control! I'm in your veins
I reach, I grip your mind...
Never surrender!


4. GENERATION SPEEDKILL (NICE DAY FOR A PUBLIC SUICIDE)

Maximize my pleasure, maximize my pain!
Til I've been, heaven sent
In this downward spiral with no end!
Angel face, filled with sin, I will lick it clean!
Fixate my eyes, to this TV screen!

Treasurize this entertainment now!
By public demand we work for this pleasure

Mesmerize my god
Mesmerize my blood
From his mind to his spine
We will make him doubt about his might!

Treasurize this entertainment now!
This is where we stand until we fall!

Generation Speedkill!
Operation Seedspill!
Generation Speedkill!
Operation Seedspill!

Brutalize my lifetime
Brutalize my thoughts!
In a trance, last dance
For Mr. Moralize!

Treasurize this entertainment now!
By public demand we work for pleasure

Generation Speedkill!
Operation Seedspill!
Generation Speedkill!
Operation Seedspill!

On this open road of no regrets
Born on a plate, food for velvet lies

Maximize my pleasure, maximize my pain!
Til I've been, heaven sent
In this downward spiral with no end!
Angel face filled with sin, I will lick it clean
Fixate my eyes, to this TV screen!

Sterilize this moment of truth that we stand for!
This is where we stand until we fall!
Treasurize this entertainment now!
This is where we stand until we fall!

Generation Speedkill!
Operation Seedspill!
Generation Speedkill!
Operation Seedspill!


5. NEON REBELS

Staring through the eyes of a cosmic breed
Through distant skies above the fields
Another face another dimension
A broken circle of human attention

Around making my way through the desert plains
I'm a legend a gift from the gods
Sirens scream there is no rest
A diary of a tragical life in this nest

Screaming for victory
Neon rebels will rise
Breaking down the barricades
Nailed to the skies

Riding on the winds at the speed of light
Selfish pride is a rebel's might
Cosmic warfare a taste of my life
A gallery of a lifetime under the knife

An endless voyage in an endless time
Remind thoughts of an ancient sign

Staring through the eyes of a cosmic breed
Through distant skies above the fields
Destructive thoughts in a narrow void
Another mission in galaxy 2001

Screaming for victory
Neon rebels will rise
Breaking down the barricades
Nailed to the skies

Killing to stay alive
Madness rules here again
Tear away the golden skies
Neon rebels will reign!


6. POSSESSING THE ANGELS

Like the cold sweat running down your backs
I'll be there to make your lives a living hell!
I'm your eyes in disguise
Silverspoon meltdown!

Break me! Kill me!
I'm standing in your way!
Condemn me! Punish me!
I am your poison wine

Inside your temples of fortune and lies
You obey your power and might
I'm your headaches, I'm your agonies
Giant walls of steel!

You can't repair all the work you have done
Lies burning bright in your mind
I will never go down no needs to be found
I am your hell!

Break me! Kill me!
I penetrate your pride!
Condemn me! Punish me!
You can't break down my walls

I am the one the evil son!
I am the one with the darkened sun!
Possessing the Angels!

Feel the smell of crimson sweet sin
Your lies are weak and much to thin
I'll never die and I'll tell you why
My jealousy is killed!

Break me! Kill me!
I'm standing in your way!
Condemn me! Punish me!
I am your poison wine

I am the one the evil son!
I am the one with the darkened sun!
And your time has just begun to wane!

I am the one the evil son!
I am the one with the darkened sun!
And your time has just begun to wane!
Possessing the angels!


7. SPIRITS OF THE FUTURE SUN

Total oblivion of my inner past
Will I ever be the same again?
Landscapes of treasures before my eyes
Now it's over, forget the past!

Spirits of the Future Sun!
Spirits of the Future Sun!

Legal lies and desperate cries
I cannot see, I'm on my own
Self destructive and the anguish of youth
Future's rising in your mind!

Spirits of the Future Sun!
Spirits of the Future Sun!

Your spirits wait for me in vain!
I won't fall!

Sun burns red on the innocent child
Twisted rules by incommon souls!
Computerized.. Pathetic lies
The lights are out... Here comes the war!

Spirits of the Future Sun!
Spirits of the Future Sun!

Your spirits wait for me in vain!
I won't fall!
Your spirits wait for me in vain!
I won't fall!

Total oblivion of my inner past
Will I ever be the same again?
Landscapes of treasures before my eyes
Now it's over, forget the past!

Spirits of the Future Sun!
Spirits of the Future Sun!


8. MACHINEGUN MAJESTY

I play the game of piercing fear
Is this the only sound I'll ever hear?

Of hate I'll rise!
Of this perennial demise!

Well if I ever should fall from this earth
Would there be anything left of me?

Come feel the need of piercing steel!
Penetrating your hope!

We suffer, yes we suffer... in this pit of hell
The pulsating hatelights, who will deform?
Total devastation just catches your eye!
Take a trip inside of me! There's all I need!

Of hate I'll rise!
Of this perennial demise!
Cause we've cried!
Bloodstained walls.. on every fucking side!

Come feel the need of piercing steel!
Penetrating your hope!
Kill! Kill! Machine Gun Majesty!
Steal! Steal! Come steal my night!

The nights are long, as well as the war
They pull my strings, whenever they want!
A feeling just reach us, a feeling of insecurity!

Of strength I'll rise!
Of this miserable disguise!

Come feel the need of piercing steel!
Penetrating your hope!
Kill! Kill! Machine Gun Majesty!
Steal! Steal! Come steal my night!

I play the game of piercing fear
Is this the only sound I'll ever hear?

Of hate I'll rise!
Of this perennial demise!

Kill! Kill! Machine Gun Majesty!
Spill! Spill! Come spill our blood
Kill! Kill! Machine Gun Majesty!
Just Steal! Steal! Forever stealing my life!


9. ROOM NO. 99

Trying to hold back the jaws of mankind
Trying to avoid their hysteric lives
Where I walk or where I stand
Underground or No Man's Land!

My eyes will always see
What they've always seen!
My ears will always hear
What they've always heard!

Cause I'm back in Room No.99!
I could stay there, for a lifetime!
Cause I'm back in Room No.99!
(To my friends..)
When universe is on my side!

Can't pay the price of a madly game
I'm a victim who will stay the same
Where I talk or where I go
Something tells me that it hurts me so!

Hungry rebels cut my way
They steal and others have to pay
Spit or swallow that's a fact
I'm going back, going back!

I'm back in Room No.99!
You can be blind there, for a lifetime!
Cause I'm back in Room No.99!
(To my friends..)
When universe is on your side!

No! No! No!

My eyes will never see
What they've used to see!
My ears will never hear
What they've used to hear

Cause I'm back in Room No.99!
I could stay there, for a lifetime!
Cause I'm back in Room No.99!
(To my friends..)
When universe is on my side!
