1. Blackened

Blackened is the end, winter it will send
Throwing all you see, into obscurity
Death of Mother Earth, never a rebirth
Evolution’s end, never will it mend

Never!

Fire! To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Blistering of Earth, terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine, kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill, nothing left to kill
Never seen before, breathing nevermore

Never!

Fire! To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Blackened!

Opposition (Opposition)
Contradiction (Contradiction)
Premonition (Premonition)
Compromise

Agitation (Agitation)
Violation (Violation)
Mutilation (Mutilation)
Planet dies

Darkest color
Blistered Earth
True death of life

(Termination) Termination
(Expiration) Expiration
(Cancellation) Cancellation
Human race

(Expectation) Expectation
(Liberation) Liberation
(Population) Population
Lay to waste

See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smouldering decay, take her breath away
Millions of our years, in minutes disappears
Darkening in vain, decadence remains
All is said and done, never is the sun

Never!

Fire! To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead

Fire! Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened

Blackened

2. …and Justice for All

Halls of justice painted green, money talking
Power wolves beset your door, hear them stalking
Soon you’ll please their appetite, they devour
Hammer of justice crushes you, overpower

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can’t believe the things you say
I can’t believe, I can’t believe the price you pay

Nothing can save you

Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone
Pulling your strings, justice is done
Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Apathy their stepping stone, so unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity, so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns, hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you, with prying minds

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can’t believe the things you say
I can’t believe, I can’t believe the price you pay

Nothing can save you

Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone
Pulling your strings, justice is done
Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Lady justice has been raped, truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips, now you’re done in
Their money tips her scales again, make your deal
Just what is truth? I cannot tell, cannot feel

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can’t believe the things you say
I can’t believe, I can’t believe the price we pay

Nothing can save us

Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone
Pulling your strings, justice is done
Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

3. Eye of the Beholder

Do you see what I see? Truth is an offence
You silence for your confidence
Do you hear what I hear? Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel? Bittering distress
Who decides what you express
Do you take what I take? Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

Doesn’t matter what you see?
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear? Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me
Do you choose what I choose? More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative

Do you need what I need? Boundaries overthrown
Look inside to each his own
Do you trust what I trust? Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen I see through the selfish lie

Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you know what I know? Your money end your wealth
Your silence just to hear your self
Do you want what I want? Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom’s ring

Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom no longer frees you

Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say

4. One

I can’t remember anything, can’t tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream, this terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me, I’m waking up I cannot see
That there’s not much left of me, nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Back in the womb it’s much too real, in pumps life that I must feel
But can’t look forward to reveal, look to the time when I’ll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me, just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be, cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Now the world is gone I’m just one
Oh God, help me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
I cannot live, I cannot die
Trapped in myself, body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech, taken my hearing
Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

5. The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name, your honesty to blame, put dignity to shame, dishonor
Witchhunt modern day, determining decay, the blatant disarray, disfigure
The public eyes’ disgrace, defying common place, unending paper chase, unending
Deafening, painstaking, reckoning, this vertigo it doth bring

Shortest straw, challenge liberty, downed by law
Live in infamy, rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through, shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly, discrimination, why? Your inner self to die, intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you , it’s teeth and talons through, your living catch 22, deluding
A mass hysteria, a megalomania, reveal dementia, reveal
Secretly, silently, certainly, in vertigo you will be

Shortest straw, challenge liberty, downed by law
Live in infamy, rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through, shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

(Shortest straw) Pulled for you
(Shortest straw) Pulled for you
(Shortest straw) Pulled for you
(Shortest straw) Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied, your being, ostracized, your hell is multiplied, upending
The fallout has begun, oppressive damage done, your many turned to none, to nothing
You’re reaching your nadir, your will has disappeared, the lie is crystal clear, defending
Channels red, one word said, blacklisted, with vertigo make you dead

Shortest straw, challenge liberty, downed by law
Live in infamy, rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through, shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you

6. Harvester of Sorrow

My life suffocates, planting seeds of hate
I’ve loved, turned to hate, trapped far beyond my fate
I give, you take, this life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth, you turned this lie to truth

Anger! Misery!
You’ll suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow (Language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow

Uh!

Pure black looking clear, my work is done soon here
Try getting back to me, get back which used to be
Drink up, shoot in, let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain, your loss becomes my gain

Anger! Misery!
You’ll suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow (Language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow

Uah!

All have said their prayers, invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes, you’ll find where murder lies

Infanticide

Harvester of sorrow (Language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow (Language of the mad)

Harvester of sorrow
Harvester of sorrow
Harvester of sorrow
Harvester of sorrow
Harvester of sorrow
Harvester of sorrow

7. The Frayed Ends of Sanity

Oh-e-oh! Eoh!
Oh-e-oh! Eoh!
Oh-e-oh! Eoh!
Oh-e-oh! Eoh!
Oh-e-oh! Eoh!
Oh-e-oh! Eoh!

Never hunger, never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within, triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

Old habits reappear, fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy, everyone’s after me
Frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Birth of terror, death of much more
I’m the slave of fear, my captor
Never warnings, spreading its wings
As I wait for the horror she brings

Loss of interest, question, wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

Old habits reappear, fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy, everyone’s after me
Frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Into ruin, I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free, flooded I’ll be
Feel the undertow inside me

Height, Hell, time, haste, terror, tension
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression

Old habits reappear, fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy, myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling

Frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling
Hear them calling me hahahaha…

8. To Live Is to Die

When a man lies, he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home

9. Dyers Eve

Dear Mother, dear Father! What is this hell you have put me through
Believer, deceiver! Day in day out live my life through you
Pushed onto me what’s wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life

Dear Mother, dear Father! Every thought I’d think you’d disapprove
Curator, dictator! Always censoring my every move
Children are seen but are not heard
Tear out everything inspired

Innocence
Torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality
I’m living blindly

Dear Mother, dear Father! Time has frozen still what’s left to be
Hear nothing, say nothing! Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee, it’s life as is
But damn you for not giving me my chance

Dear Mother, dear Father! You’ve clipped my wings before I learned to fly
Unspoiled, unspoken! I’ve outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing I’ve always heard from you
Do as I say not as I do

Innocence
Torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality
I’m living blindly

I’m in hell without you
Cannot cope without you two
Shocked at the world that I see
Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear Mother, dear Father! Hidden in your world you’ve made for me
I’m seething, I’m bleeding! Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew

Go!
