| # 1 | The Shining Path Don't care if I choke.... Sacrifice me for my sins For my beliefs Spit at me Die...with me When I'm gone Death will come to you Death will come... The flames went high to lick the skin on her chin The words she said For those words she would die The crowd circles around her Praising their merciful god Her screams got weaker "Heathen, heathen" The mass was shouting The children that once were loving Now their small hands were full of rocks They found her bleeding The dark night came creeping Was she one of the devil's own kind? Beyond belief Beyond the pain And grief I lay low And crawl deep Choosing the narrow path Fear your thoughts and let the father judge them Walk the shining path and guide the weakling along The crowd circles around her Praising their merciful god Their screams grew higher "Heathen, heathen" The mass was shouting Hunt down the profane And put them to the torch Burn me on the fire Call me liar Shout at me Cry for me When I'm gone Death will come to me Death will come... Burn me on the fire... |
| # 2 | Wormwood "...The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and in the fountains of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became Wormwood, and many died of the water, because it was made bitter..." I can see God's unborn son Playing with a loaded gun All our sins... He'll die for us... Or did somebody lie to us? I can see the shape of God Drowning in a pool of blood A mighty choir of ancient generations sings Behold! The hand of death Squeezing out earth's final breath The stars are falling from the sky And I know why See God and his hand of death Squeezing out earth's final breath How did it all come to this? Brought to us by Judas kiss? I watch the sun go out I've lived to see the end As I watch the sun go out My loss of faith replaced by doubt All our sins... He'll die for us... Or did somebody lie to us? Let us pour one final drink Fill the glasses to the rim The world's on fire I still can hear the choir sing Behold! Your nightmares are fulfilled God just got his final will The world stops spinning And death is all around... Come... Join this toast God is dead... |
| # 3 | Tender Trip On Earth Another day The next page Still in daze Still in a dream Out of the pipe My lust for life Comes and goes From above Demanding purity Sobriety Cursing me like a sledge Hammering down at me Out of the water-pipe I suck my lust for life And all my floating dreams It seems Up on the gallery God shouting down at me Something I can not hear Tears falling from the sky Words from a lullaby Everything beautiful dies For now, we're hanging in Though we are blessed with sin You make my tired heart sing You can be a sunbeam And shine for a while For a while You can laugh a lot And bring out that smile For now we're hanging in Even though we're blessed with sin You make my heart... You make my tired heart sing Tears falling from the sky... I'm on a tender trip Slowly I'm loosing grip Madness is in the air I fear Stay, you're my acid-queen Stay on my faded team Run through the corridor with me |
| # 4 | Lost Hard... I'm harder than the life I've lived Strong... I'm stronger than the pain you give It's lost... So lost The world you're in The life you live I see the lies The darkside of the smiles you give I'm one I'm anyone you like me to be I'm gone Whenever you would like to be free Old... I'm older than the years I've lived Cold... I'm colder than the smile you give My life has been the dreams you say I'm living in How long will you be lost, my dear When will you give in? |
| # 5 | Deadlocked You've had your last regrets Reached your final depths Deepest pits Stepped aside for the world to pass you by Chose to leave the fear You are stuck in a world of deadlocks This time it's real This time it's for real This world Its evil ways The pain that I hide Let's make this happen... Left with the shame Will somebody out there give me the blame? Someone... Show me It's too far to see What God made of us Tell me it's a dream Was it meant to be this way? |
| # 6 | Selling Out Am I alive? Feels like dying Down, down Fists are striking me It gets so dark Or are my eyes blinded? Down, down Boots are kicking me The coward, the sinner, the thief The liar, the misfit, the creep I'm running out of Steps to walk Of air to breathe And words to talk I'm running out of Noise to make Of jokes to tell And hearts to break For days burned and frozen lies The years that passed me by The child in me just died The scars in me will never heal An overdose of nothingness My visions are for sale I'm selling out I am alive But always falling Down, down I hear voices calling me The coward, the sinner, the thief I am alive Kind of wasted Down, down Hands are reaching me The coward, the sinner, the thief The liar, the misfit, the creep I'm running out of Dreams to dream Of tears to spend And screams to scream I'm running out of life again Smothering... Turning into dust |
| # 7 | Hatred Grows Out of the dim The ships were closing in Warriors... Worrying... Painted to kill Kill and be killed More than fight to survive I'll give you strength to continue the fight I'll feed you anger and soft little lies Out of blood hatred grows No place to hide Kill and be killed More than fight to survive I'll be your shining star I'll be your guide Wounded and dying The screaming of men To death it will be Enemies attacking again and again So much pain So many tears Out of blood Hatred grows Beneath the flags He watched them row in Warriors... Worrying... Painted to kill Seeking the courage to stand up and fight The war drums were sounding from ships out of sight My god is great I've killed before All is fair in love and war and peace Mayhem... The vultures awaited their feast Eagerly... Circling low... Where dead takes the dead only our ancestors know So much pain So many tears Out of blood Hatred grows |
| # 8 | World Of Glass All you ever wanted All that you desire Walk the line with me I'll take you higher I feel your body shake Put me on fire All you ever wanted... All that you desire... Who's the prey What's the play God created Stay with me We are the ones God hated I'm a falling stone in a world of glass I'm a ticking bomb with a smiling mask Can you ever let go? I'll play you like a violin ...stay... You will be queen I will be king I'll chase your scary monsters On the run With me you are safe I'm in control I'll fulfil all your dreams Every fantasy I will be What you need Satisfaction guaranteed Can you see them? Can you hear them? Can you feel them? Do you fear them? |
| # 9 | The Modern End Camera angles decadence of a dying world Matchsticks Long dark corridors They've got the urge to die young Deepbluelettering Carousels and fireworks Ferris wheels are spinning in the arc-lite city Do they know They have slept for so long Do they know The taste of their tongue Do they know They are trapped Let's celebrate the modern end Let the world begin again Celebrate the renaissance man |
| # 10 | Crushed Dreams You choke a scream Crushing a dream Made the scheme real Show this sinner your precious god Lift the blame off my shoulders With a simple thought Show me life's pleasure And how it is caught Not just the air I breathe Or the dream I forgot... The last smile The last word It's time to face the final outcome The pagan The godless deeds Fall... Deep... Your vacuum made complete Exterminate... Eradicate... Preparing for death Awaiting the light to shine on us Wishing the sun to fall down on our heads Show us the joy in the world that we're living in Turn our dreams into sin Your first breath The far tolls It's you these bells were made to call for The pagan The godless deeds Crawl... Deep... The last hypocrisy Walk the path The shining path Lift this prayer to heaven's heights Feed my mind with the most glorious thoughts Sacrificing all my dreams For this I will serve and honour to death Or do I just fear the tyrant's wrath |
