His face is dead Rotten soul within Monolithic Inhuman Your fear will be his fuel With his iron fist He'll crush the weak with wrath Raised to demolish man Misanthropic mastermind He'll interlope and dominate Attack the world with hate The mission is to devastate Annihilate the human race He is a plague Ridden with disease Putrefactive Infected Slowly spreading sickness He'll come for you When hunger strikes Interloper Consumer Lust for the devourment Lurking in the shallow darkness Waiting for the weaker ones Ready to inject his venom Evil is as evil does He'll interlope and dominate Attack the world with hate The mission is to devastate Annihilate the human race

Disconnect from all that is true Eradicate what used to be you Annihilate in blind servitude Demoralize until our demise Salvation was never the key Before a lie, we won't fall to our knees Ravage and burn, it's all by the book Sermons of old, fits us in the mold, while for answers we look Predictions of doom Shrouds the world in gloom Walk in line, just a servant of the fools Another burden to bear Enslaved, restrained by limiting rules It's a daymare... Disconnect from all that is true Eradicate what used to be you Annihilate in blind servitude Demoralize until our demise Convert and conquer a legacy of hate Rule and control the will to dominate Rotten faith, our hands forever bound To us there is no holy ground Walk in line, just a servant of the fools Another burden to bear Enslaved, restrained by limiting rules It's a daymare...

Sowing seeds of apathy In this field of dreams Cultivating misery Poisoning the stream Reaping bitter harvest As frost permeates An unforgiving season Coming on today Reservoirs are draining Bleeding life away Water flow is waning And no longer irrigates There's nothing left to harvest Famine rules the land Curse of negativity Turned fertile soil to sand Alone, enslaved Work and toil to no avail Decay paves the way Warmer season in its grave And ripe with pain and hate Vast and desolate A field once free of woe Now dark, dead and cold

Sinister silence Forced into nothing Terror commenced In the contaminated void Dead freezing cold Kept in a psychic box Like a story untold He was the perverted toy Growing... The seeds of his death The silent state is the way to decay Rotting... With a mind dead and gone He is likely to die Soulless statue Devoid of motion There's no virtue In the contaminated void Mentally carbonized A cancerous soul Numb and desensitized Dead and reborn: Paranoid Growing... The seeds of his death The silent state is the way to decay Rotting... With a mind dead and gone He is likely to die Unveiled secrets will haunt them Public anger rise Disturbing, sick visions now become clearer We all despise Sinister silence Forced into nothing Terror commenced In the contaminated void Dead freezing cold Kept in a psychic box Like a story untold He was the perverted toy Growing... The seeds of his death The silent state is the way to decay Rotting... With a mind dead and gone He is likely to die

Social decay in me I strive for inner peace of mind But yield to sicker needs What's sane is left behind My hands are used as tools I'm on a random psycho path Birth-marked confiding fools Let loose the wrath I'm dreading to see your existence erased Forever chased by insanity Aggressive measures so unpleasant to face But death is smiling at me Infected with a dose of lunacy I'm losing grip of reality A forthcoming fear of what grows within me Increasing absence of empathy Inside the circle range And life was put on hold Her fate in hands of a mind deranged Wait and watch as death unfolds The fury drives me deeper Exploiting my supremacy I impersonate the reaper And the dark sides of humanity My heart is pounding A taste of blood in my mouth Death smiles at me I feel alive Demanding to see your existence erased Forever chased by insanity Aggressive measures so unpleasant to face Yet death is smiling with me

Blinded from the world outside Restraining my moves I have got nowhere to hide I have nothing to prove Barred reality, feeding hostility Aligning with suffering, hatred reigns Blind to the beating, dying in vain Aligning with suffering, familiar with pain Desirable meeting on the edge to what I sustain They're refusing to show But I am dying to see This is a custom-made hell Constructed only for me Forced and compelled Limitations exceeding Incarnations of hell Leaving me bleeding Shutting out all that's real Emotional rape Ungodly abuse Is now taking shape Soiled by their disgusting hands I'm scraping my skin A plague that infects the land The dark secret within (Aligning with suffering) Hatred reigns Blind to the beating, dying in vain Aligning with suffering, familiar with pain Desirable meeting on the edge to what I sustain

Descending I'm lowered into the ground Returning to ashes and dirt In the casket's confines Oblivion bound Consumed by the earth Life-like Flowers adorn mourner's hands A funeral procession in bloom An ironic parade Life eternal interred, Immortality's doom Returning to ashes and dirt Dreading

To reach divine perfection They fill us with fear Demanding sick restrictions The end draws near Strain at the leash Salvation for us all to reach Deceitful speech Blindly obey, aching, trapped in dismay Disciples of hate Serving to make your lies justified Pre-controlled faith Evolution denied, chaos spreading worldwide Deceive the weak, profit on defeat Punish their disbelief And make them hurt No sympathizing grief For the inert Strain at the leash Salvation for us all to reach Deceitful speech Blindly obey, aching, trapped in dismay Disciples of hate Serving to make your lies justified Pre-controlled faith Evolution denied, chaos spreading worldwide Their manipulation has fed my disgust Corrode their belief till it all turns to rust Get rid of this plague all over the nation The world will suffer religious starvation Torn down from the top of the hierarchy Wake up and smell the hypocrisy Strain at the leash Salvation for us all to reach Deceitful speech Blindly obey, aching, trapped in dismay Disciples of hate Serving to make your lies justified Pre-controlled faith Evolution denied, chaos spreading worldwide

Soul on fire, death desire, spirit in flames Violent combustion going off inside my brain Reacting to an inside fire Raw emotion burns Manic urge returns Spreading to the outside world and raging uncontrolled Moral insurrection, compassion overthrown Reacting to an inside fire Raw emotion burns Manic urge returns The state

Antidote 02:28
A painful, drawn-out death You'll get what's coming your way Merely a fraction of the suffering that you have caused You've led a double life, of torture, rape and murder Sadistic acts, carried out in bursts of rage In this world, there's no cure for your sickness Our time, poisoned, plagued by your existence Death is all you see... in these endless fields of misery! ...When you're done... Another life has ended Are you proud? Do you feel satisfied? A helpless victim builds a sense of power in you But that power will soon be ripped to shreds! In this world, there's no cure for your sickness Every human poisoned, plagued by your existence Death is all you see... in these endless fields of misery! They died in vain, enduring sickening pain Your victims, all slain, to you it is a game Never felt shame, since media gives you fame Murderer is your name, and you deserve all blame! In this world, there's no cure for your sickness Everything... poisoned, plagued by your existence Death is all you see... in these endless fields of misery!

Mass indoctrination, I am enslaved Their sanctuary is my grave Mind configuration, to fit the mold Warm blood traded for cold They crawl inside me uninvited To feed on me They crawl inside me uninvited Like hungry worms No consideration, their mind is set Sweep the waters with their net Effective suffocation, all life is drained They believe in purity through pain Altered state, altered mind They burn my eyes 'til I'm blind Altered state of my mind I am raped by the divine They crawl inside me uninvited To feed on me They crawl inside me uninvited Like hungry worms Mass indoctrination, I am enslaved Their sanctuary is my grave Mind configuration, to fit the mold Warm blood traded for cold Altered state, altered mind They burn my eyes 'til I'm blind Altered state of my mind I am raped by the divine

In my mind, there is a voice It tells me to destroy the world It's all right, I love debris I love to see things fall apart Rampage, I'm in a rage I can't wait to tear it down Watch out, evacuate Before I kill you by mistake Scanning the skies for a sign Waiting for buildings to collapse In my mind, there is a mess All tangled up and black as death It's all right, 'cause I love death And the smell of burning things Annihilate, I cannot wait My mission is yet not complete I'm insane, I see that now I think the voice is really mine Scanning the skies for a sign Waiting for buildings to collapse I want to see the world in ruins, going up in flames Laughing maliciously Waiting for buildings to collapse I am insane, my mind is set to blow Madness reigns, soon the world will know Scanning the skies for a sign Waiting for buildings to collapse I want to see the world in ruins, going up in flames Laughing maliciously Waiting for buildings to collapse

She sees the darkness Breeding inside his rotten soul She fears the sickness Bleeding black as fear unfolds Blood splattered wedding dance This heart shaped violence Literal masquerade A dark secret carved in the heart Must maintain the charade Until death will do them apart Saw herself in white Seduced by the power of love Kissed the fist goodnight The white now soiled with her blood Can't stand the decadence She prays for the silence Literal masquerade A dark secret carved in the heart Must maintain the charade Until death will do them apart A victim of an evil rage She wants to stay alive Walking on the razor's edge Guarding a dead hive Drowning in a wave of hate Slowly erasing her life Until nothing remains Marching to her dreadful fate Slowly twisting the knife In the stinking remains She sees the darkness Breeding inside his rotten soul She fears the sickness Bleeding black as fear unfolds Blood splattered wedding dance This heart shaped violence Literal masquerade A dark secret carved in the heart Must maintain the charade Until death will do them apart

Memories fade, all swept away In floods of poisonous rain In a future-less land, our time is at hand The spoils of apocalypse ours We are cold, we are forlorn Usurping mankind's throne Society set ablaze The world all up in flames Humanity wasting away, abandoning civilized ways Generations decay Brimming with hate, lamenting our fate Living the curse of survival Compassion erased, all laid to waste Chaos the natural order We are cold, we are forlorn The bastard sons of war Society set ablaze The world all up in flames Humanity wasting away, abandoning civilized ways Generations decay From silence and darkness they were born To walk the earth broken and worn Rid of empathy, not knowing peace The misery will never cease From radiated lands arise Forever death walks by their side Dreams of the future fade and die...
