1. DAY BY DAY

Would you like to join me
I’m gonna to go for a ride
And if you can’t make it
I’ll see you on the other side
There’s but one solution
Don’t look so surprised
All the misfortune
Is in the public eye

Whoa now we’re in trouble
Can’t you believe they lied (Can’t you believe they lied)
Freedom of speech
…the American dream have died (This dream has died)
I’m not backing down
‘Til I’ve justified (‘Til I’ve justified)
Your disfigured delusion
Controlling all our lives

The death of a nation
Abused authority
With no hesitation
In the name of conformity
Fear, do not question
Turn your head
Truth’s assassination
Don’t believe a word they say

Day By Day

The death of a nation
Abused authority
With no hesitation
In the name of conformity
Fear, do not question
Turn your head
Truth’s assassination
Don’t believe a word they say

Day By Day


2. ETERNAL

We all live in this asylum
The world that we call home
Where the only cost of living is death
The meaning of life, is shit and we don’t care
To sit and reflect
For why would action speak louder than words
And the human race tears itself apart
With violent moral nerve

Hell is here right under your nose
Best of all possible worlds
Too much is never enough for the greedy
And God forbid you should say what you’re thinking
But if you do, hell awaits you
Place for all your crimes
Every second of every day
Walking the thin line

They’re watching you watch me
Plaguing my sanity
Eternal disparity
Now do as you’re told, and believe…

Do as you’re told, and believe
Do as you’re told, and belie in me

We all live in this asylum
the status quo of life
We sit locked up, in our cages
And fight to live, on minimum wages
Material control is control of the mind
‘Sit back, relax, enjoy the show!’
The ‘knowledge’ of our time

They’re watching you watch me
Plaguing my sanity
Eternal disparity
Now do as you’re told, and believe…

Do as you’re told, and believe


3. 88 REASONS TO HATE

So now I see, this is the way it’s going to be
And I choose, to not lie down, I’ll never lose
For I know, that all my hate begins to show
When I see, your picture in my memory

Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate

Look in my eyes, for all that is good has died
And in my head, it must have been something I said
Closure, fuck you and your pathetic composure
You live a lie, I hope that you’re satisfied

Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate

Go ahead and fuel my hate
Save yourself before it’s too late
How many more times must you try
Chances to get caught in a lie
Wait until, final judgment
Everyone will see
You’re too sad to move on
Try and fuck with me

Now you see, countless amounts of testing me
I’ve done my best, I’ve only got to pass one test
That’s my own, so you motherfucking mindless drone
Kiss my ass, or is that too hard to grasp?

Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate

Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate


4. SHOCK AND AWE

That’s it, no more of this
You have crossed the line
And we have taken your shit
Your only option’s death

Fire rains down from the sky
Fire rains down from up on high

…and

We light up the sky tonight
We light up the sky tonight
We light up your sky tonight
We light up your sky

Sirens ring loud for all to hear
And we can smell your fear
Shouting does no good my dear
When the morning comes…

…and

We light up the sky tonight
We light up the sky tonight
We light up your sky tonight
We light up your sky…

Tonight

The awe of all your dreams
For all your life
Will not, will not add up to
The shock of this night


5. PERMANENT HEARTBREAK

It’s not the first time
I’ve felt this before
So few and far between
I’ve always longed for more
With just a little taste
I find myself in a broken state
No matter how hard I try
I can’t fight this yearning deep inside

So uneasy, consumed by the pain
So unsure of what to do, I’ll say goodnight again
Scared of what might happen if I raise the stakes
Build myself up for a crash, a permanent heartbreak

My heart, has failed me
My heart, has ceased to beat
My heart, could not take the stakes
Permanent heartbreak

Please don’t tell me
I can’t take anymore
There’s nothing more to be said
Of the ultimate score
It’s not a matter of lust
For what I cannot have
Cuz once I set my sights
I can’t kill the rush deep inside

So uneasy, consumed by the pain
So unsure of what to do, I’ll say goodnight again
Scared of what might happen if I raise the stakes
Build myself up for a crash, a permanent heartbreak

My heart, has failed me
My heart, has ceased to beat
My heart, could not take the stakes
Permanent heartbreak

Permanent Heartbreak


6. DEAD TO YOUR WORLD

To hell with you, and your nine to five
Cliched thing that you call life
Brainwashed misery
Up to you? It’s up to me
Say things that you don’t mean
Then demean with what you say
Right for you, not for me
Take a look, don’t you see, that…

I am dead to your world

World war three tonight
Ending without a fight
No say, not for me
Compromise your dignity
You think it’s alright
To act without foresight
Your state of mind is frightening
My world of you, is free, cuz

I am dead to your world

I am dead
I am dead
I am dead to your world


7. SCREAM AT THE STARS

(Instrumental)


8. SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD

From the ‘risen’ time
A deadly strain of lies
A virus, hypocrisy
Corrupt is the human legacy

Your greed, lust, and gluttony
Your sloth, your pride, and your envy
Combined together, do comprise
The wrath that you’re about to see

So down, down on your knees
Your cries and all of your pleas
Fall, fall on deaf ears
Falling from grace over two thousand years will end tonight

Cursed tongues, ‘neath crooked smiles
Manipulate the rank and file
Distorted truths will set you free
In this hell, of absurdity

Your greed, lust, and gluttony
Your sloth, your pride, and your envy
Combined together, do comprise
The wrath that you’re about to see

So down, down on your knees
Your cries and all of your pleas
Fall, fall on deaf ears
Falling from grace over two thousand years will end tonight

…of an angry God

It all will end one night
In a brilliant flash of light
Extinguishing all in flame
And you’ve only got, yourselves to blame

Down, down on your knees
Your cries and all of your pleas
Fall, fall on deaf ears
Falling from grace over two thousand years will end tonight

…of an angry God


9. THE END OF THE NIGHTMARE

Darkness has haunted, this dream as of late
An evil approaches, falling into place
Which you will embrace, with arms open wide
The nightmare is coming, now shield from the light

Blind to what’s in front of your eyes
Stop all the lies
Sinister disguise
“Classified”

An image is clouding, your judgment of late
Ideals are an ideal, a troubling fate
A misleading cause, puts it all on the line
Playing “god” is the sign, of an evil, devine

Blind to what’s in front of your eyes
Stop all the lies
Sinister disguise
“Classified”


10. RISE AND DIE

The sun will rise and die today
A final call, a killing craze
Can’t walk the day, forever night
The sun sets, it’s time to rise

A black heart, chained to the night
Dead inside, choking the light
A black rose, against my grave
Restless life, nocturnal slave

I will rise, you’ll die tonight
On the hunt, to your surprise
My heart beats dead, not quite alive
Fill the void, night after night

A black heart, chained to the night
Dead inside, choking the light
A black rose, against my grave
Restless life, nocturnal slave

My black heart is charred, from years of pain
Burning inside of me, enslaved, insane
Hatred for the world, keeps me alive
Fueling my need to feed the bleeding, time to kill, tonight

Rise and die with me

‘Dead-beats’ rise, they will die
Cross my path, say your last goodbye
My legion grows, from night to night
In the end you’ll see, that when we rise, you’ll die

Rise and die with me


11. AFFLICTED

My affliction has taken me
Lost all control to a deadly disease
Mind and body, no longer mine
The end is near, a matter of time

Alone, where do I belong
How did I go so wrong
Step outside myself, what do I see?
This afflicted ruin, that is me

Mind is slowly, breaking down
Slowly heading, underground
It’s not my fault, I can’t control
Violent swings, within my soul

There is no comfort
When you’re alone
Now as I fight for my life
I realize chilled to the bone
Death is the end of a joke called life
Where darkness sets the tone
My affliction has taken me
I’ll surely die alone


12. EVILUTION

Open your eyes my love
We have got to get away
There is no time to waste
We must hurry, we must make haste

Why can’t I feel your heart beating
Please don’t slip away from me

Goodbye, my love
They’ve taken you, away from me
With your death, dies the best of me
I cannot relieve myself, of this disdain

I pledge the rest of my days to thee
For my love is buried, six feet deep

I ride, with fire in my eyes
And the wrath of hell, closely behind
Speak not, none shall hear your cry
Vengeance shall be mine

Vengeance shall be mine

See her pain, in my eyes
Feel my pain, as yours die
Hear my pain, in your cries

My love’s lifeless face is all that I’ll recall
Kill them to see her once again til then I shall not fall
I’ll leave a bloody trail, of bodies burning bright
No one will to tell, no ending in sight

Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Larry Tarnowski

See her pain, in my eyes
Feel my pain, as yours die
Hear my pain, in your cries

…in your cries


13. ASCHE ZU ASCHE

Warmer Körper
heißes Kreuz
falsches Urteil
kaltes Grab

Auf dem Kreuze lieg ich jetzt
sie schlagen mir die Nägel ein
das Feuer wäscht die Seele rein
und übrig bleibt ein Mundvoll

Asche

Ich komm wieder
in zehn Tagen
als dein Schatten
und werd dich jagen

Heimlich werd ich auferstehen
und du wirst um Gnade flehen
dann knie ich mich in dein Gesicht
und steck den Finger in die Asche

Asche zu Asche
und Staub zu Staub


14. WIRED IN BLOOD

Empty eyes, darkened souls
Contempt filled lies, bought and sold
You don’t have to die, just so you can live
You just have to live, live before you die

Wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired, wired in the blood

Sacrifice, justify the means
Such is life, never as it seems
I don’t have to die, just so I can live
I just have to live, live before I die

Wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired in the blood
The fire, wired in the blood
Empire, wired, wired in the blood

I’m wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired in the blood
The fire, wired in the blood
Empire, wired, wired in the blood


15. ACQUIESCE

One shot to make them stronger
One shot to make them weak
One shot to make them demons
One shot to make them saints
One shot to make them masters
One shot to make them slaves
One shot to make them memories

That will live on, in infamy

When the dose is right
Control will be denied
Acquiesce the fight
And no one will survive

One shot to make them follow
One shot to make them lead
One shot to make them heal
One shot to make them bleed
One shot to make them silent
One shot to make them scream
One shot to make them enemies

Who’ll change the course of history

When the dose is right
Control will be denied
Acquiesce the fight
And no one will survive


Those who live in infamy
Will change the course of history

When the dose is right
Control will be denied
Acquiesce the fight
And no one will survive


16. GET IT UP

(Instrumental)
