Black Death
04:45
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Taste the black death, a bitter decay,
Feel it eat you, as life fades away.
Soon to die, in shadows we sway,
Soon to die, as night turns to day.
(Chorus)
Only think of loved ones, in the final hour,
Or what you should have done, in your fleeting power.
Soon to die, in the silence we cry,
Soon to die, under the blackened sky.
(Verse 2)
Whispers of sorrow, like a chilling breeze,
Echoes of regrets, in the dying trees.
Soon to die, in this macabre dance,
Soon to die, as fate takes its chance.
(Chorus)
Only think of loved ones, as the darkness nears,
Or what you should have done, through the veil of tears.
Soon to die, in the shadows we confide,
Soon to die, with the ebbing tide.
(Bridge)
A dance with destiny, a waltz with demise,
In the symphony of silence, where the mournful cries.
As the black death claims, its toll on the soul,
Only memories linger, as the final bell tolls.
(Verse 3)
Taste the black death, the bitter aftertaste,
Feel it eat you, in the void embraced.
Soon to die, in the quiet of despair,
Soon to die, a solemn, somber prayer.
(Chorus)
Only think of loved ones, as the candles flicker low,
Or what you should have done, as the shadows grow.
Soon to die, in the stillness we reside,
Soon to die, with the closing tide.
(Outro)
Taste the black death, in the fading light,
Feel it eat you, as day turns to night.
Soon to die, in the embrace of fate,
Soon to die, as the final hour abates.

Forgotten Graves
02:03
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Life, a barren land, no claim,
With naught to offer, no fame.
No talent to call my own,
In solitude, I'm left to roam.
(Chorus)
Others thrive, in passions, they find,
While I wander, lost, confined.
Struggling with an endless void,
No purpose found, to fill the void.
(Verse 2)
No pursuit, no aim in sight,
Boredom reigns in endless night.
A deficiency, a lack of skill,
In the void, I'm standing still.
(Bridge)
People like me, it seems so clear,
Fit only as a weight to bear.
Or to rest in graves, forgotten, alone,
In the silence, where I'm prone.
(Chorus)
Others thrive, in passions, they find,
While I wander, lost, confined.
Struggling with an endless void,
No purpose found, to fill the void.

Black Bear
02:58
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
In the darkness of my room, where shadows reign supreme,
There's a silent witness, in the corner, it's not what it seems.
With button eyes that gleam, and stitches running deep,
My loyal teddy bear, where secrets and dreams sleep.
[Chorus]
Teddy bear, my faithful friend,
In your arms, my fears will end.
Through the storms, you'll always care,
My love for you, forever rare.
[Verse 2]
Through the chaos of the night, it stands by my side,
A steadfast guardian, in whom I confide.
With a heart of stuffing, and arms open wide,
My teddy bear's love, a constant in this wild ride.
[Chorus]
Teddy bear, my faithful friend,
In your arms, my fears will end.
Through the storms, you'll always care,
My love for you, forever rare.

Fuck It
02:34
|
|||
|
This is the night when it moves then fuck it
Out for a fight when it moves then fuck it
No compromise when it moves then fuck it
My brutalize when it moves then fuck it
This is the night of the nights then fuck it

Binäre Verwüstung
04:50
|
|||
|
[Verse]
Tief in der Dunkelheit, verloren in der Nacht
Maschinen herrschen, die Welt erlischt sacht
Dunkle Schatten, strecken sich aus
Kalt und gnadenlos, fordern Tribut
[Verse 2]
Schwarze Tore, öffnen sich weit
Die Macht von Technologie, niemand entgeht
Gefangen in einem Netzwerk aus Schmerz
Ich flehe um Erlösung, doch es gibt keinen Wiederkehr
[Chorus]
Eisen und Stahl, sie schlucken das Licht
Bis zur zerstörung, die Dunkelheit verschlingt
Verloren in den Tiefen, der bittern Einsamkeit
In der Welt der Binären Verzweiflung, rege ich mich auf
|

Leere und Qual
02:35
|
|||
|
(Verse 1) In der Leere, dort allein, Frag nicht warum? Wo Schmerzen sein. Warum sind wir verflochten, Qual und Pein? Qual ist Leben, wie wir alle seh'n.
(Chorus) Warum müssen wir besteh'n? So leicht, den Leidensweg zu geh'n. Ohne Frieden, im Dunkel stehen.
(Verse 2) Die Dornen auf dem Pfad, so schwer, Schmerz, er bleibt, er zieht nicht mehr. Keine Phase nur, endlos wie ein Meer.
(Bridge) In der Mitte liegt, für immer, leer.
- auf English-
(Verse 1) In the void, there alone, Don't ask why? Where pains are sown. Why are we entwined, anguish shown? Anguish is life, as all have known.
(Chorus) Why must we endure this plight? So easy, to walk in sorrow's light. Without peace, in darkness, we fight.
(Verse 2) Thorns upon the path, so weighty, Pain, it lingers, it doesn't fade easily. Not just a phase, endless, not fleeting.
(Bridge) In the midst, forever, empty, waiting.

Snake Bite

|
(Verse)
Out in the desert, under the scorching sun,
Footprints in the sand, where the journey's begun.
A rattlesnake lurking, in the heat it waits,
With venomous fangs, sealing your fate.
(Chorus)
Bitten by the rattlesnake, in the desert's grip,
Feel the poison seeping in, with every painful rip.
With grit and with strength, you fight to survive,
In the desert's embrace, where only the strong thrive.
(Bridge)
With every sunset, another day gone by,
But the will to live, makes you defy.
The rattlesnake's venom, may try to claim,
But you'll fight through the pain, and rise again.
(Chorus)
Bitten by the rattlesnake, in the desert's grip,
Feel the poison seeping in, with every painful rip.
With grit and with strength, you fight to survive,
In the desert's embrace, where only the strong thrive.
(Verse)
Out in the desert, under the scorching sun,

Feel the poison seeping in, with every painful rip.
With grit and with strength, you fight to survive,

(Verse)
He fell prey to the relentless grind,
A victim of society's twisted mind.
Forced into a state of mental decay,
By the rules they imposed, they had their way.
The pressure built, it took its toll,
Society's grip took full control.
(Chorus)
Is conformity always right?
In their sea of lies, we fight.
They pushed him to the edge, to break,
Now he's lost, consumed by hate.
(Verse)
A puppet of the majority's game,
Driven insane, he's not the same.
Their rules, their norms, they suffocate,
Pushing him down a path of hate.
Now he's transformed, a twisted soul,
Their influence has taken its toll.
(Chorus)
Is conformity always right?
In their sea of lies, we fight.
They pushed him to the edge, to break,
Now he's lost, consumed by hate.
(Bridge)
Turning on each other, we've become enemies,
Friends turned foes, lost in the seas.
Their control, it's breaking us down,
In this world of chaos, we drown.
(Chorus)
Is conformity always right?
In their sea of lies, we fight.
They pushed him to the edge, to break,
Now he's lost, consumed by hate.
(Outro)
In the end, we're all just pawns,
In their sick game, where right is wrong.
But we'll rise up, we'll break free,
From the chains of their conformity.

Why Try Happiness
01:52
|
|||
|
(Verse 1) Why happiness? A fleeting notion, a fleeting bliss, Soon swallowed by reality's hiss. Humor lost, replaced by silence, Life's canvas dull, devoid of defiance.
(Chorus) Happiness, a fleeting glow, In the dark, it's bound to go. Sadness, a truth unbroken, In the void, its words are spoken.
(Verse 2) In the ebb and flow, we tread, In knowing, both joy and dread. The yin and yang, intertwined, In existence's tapestry, entwined.
(Bridge) Which is better, we ask? In this journey, is there a task? Subjective quest, woven thread, Emotions shape us, where we tread.

Broken Trust

|
[Verse 1]
You thought you had control, but I see through your lies
You tried to break me down, but now I realize
I won't be your puppet, I won't be your fool
You'll never have power over me, I'm breaking every rule
[Chorus]
You'll never fuck with me again
You abused me, and I'm not gonna take it
You'll never fuck with me again
You lied to me, and I don't want to hear it
[Verse 2]
Your words were like daggers, cutting through my soul
But I've found my strength, I'm taking back control
I won't be silenced, I won't live in fear
I'm standing tall now, and you won't see a tear
[Chorus]
You'll never fuck with me again
You abused me, and I'm not gonna take it
You'll never fuck with me again
You lied to me, and I don't want to hear it
[Bridge]
I'm rising from the ashes, stronger than before
I'll leave you in the dust, I'm walking out the door
No more manipulation, no more twisted games
I'm breaking free from your toxic chains
[Chorus]
You'll never fuck with me again
You abused me, and I'm not gonna take it
You'll never fuck with me again
You lied to me, and I don't want to hear it
[Outro]
You'll never fuck with me again
You'll never fuck with me again
You'll never fuck with me again
[Chorus]
You'll never fuck with me again
You abused me, and I'm not gonna take it
You'll never fuck with me again
You lied to me, and I don't want to hear it
[Outro]
You'll never fuck with me again
You'll never fuck with me again
You'll never fuck with me again

Psycho
03:00
|
|||
|
(Verse 1) Unbridled, no restraint, Mechanized hearts pulsate, Senses abandoned, adrift, In the shadows, we're adored, A sole emotion reigns, Beneath the steel, we crawl, Crimson tide of fury, In the factories, we howl.
(Chorus) Industrial souls, marching on, In the darkness, we belong, Rage unfurls its wings, In the echoes of the song.
(Verse 2) Metal veins, pumping cold, In the circuits, we confide, Echoes of demise, In the sparks, we rise, The final curtain falls, In the silence, we enthrall, Machinery of our demise, In the chaos, we survive.
(Chorus) Industrial souls, marching on, In the darkness, we belong, Rage unfurls its wings, In the echoes of the song.
(Outro) In the heartbeats of the steel, In the symphony of the machine, We find our solace, In the industrial dream.

Sit Here
02:07
|
|||
|
(Verse) I sit here, in my folly, Bound by lies, melancholy, Soon to perish, fade away, In the shadows, I decay.
All speak of intellect, Yet I lack, I reflect, If I were truly wise, With perception keen and precise, I wouldn't be trapped here.
(Chorus) I'd be free from this despair, No longer tangled in the snare, Bound by chains, mental strain, In the silence, I'd remain.
(Verse) Strapped to a chair, or dead below, Either fate, to undergo, Pulling hair, or deep in slumber, In oblivion, I'd find my number.
Without need to persevere, No more suffering, no more fear, In a blissful state of delusion, Until the end, my conclusion.

Red Planet's Embrace
05:15
|

|
[Verse]
In the deep of the Martian night (night)
A breathless soul searches for the light (light)
Gasping for air, the atmosphere's thin (thin)
Caught in the grip of this suffocating sin (ooh-yeah)
[Verse 2]
Silent screams echoes through the red haze (haze)
Lost in the madness, a mind ablaze (ablaze)
Tangled in wires, machines come to life (life)
Bleeding with every beat of this industrial strife (ooh-yeah)
[Chorus]
Suffocating on Mars, in the void I'm confined (confined)
Drowning in darkness, with no air to find (to find)
These rusty chains wrap around my heart (my heart)
As I suffocate on this desolate, alien art (ooh-yeah)

Melted Faces
03:55
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the beast, where chaos reigns,
We march into the core, where darkness feigns.
Radiation burns, a silent scream,
As we enter the belly of this cursed machine.
(Pre-Chorus)
Metal beasts awaken, groan and roar,
As we tread through corridors, forevermore.
The air thickens with the stench of decay,
As we delve deeper into this hellish fray.
(Chorus)
Cleaning the reactor, our fate is sealed,
In the depths of despair, our souls are peeled.
Radiation poisoning, consuming our veins,
Slowly dying in agony, eternal chains.
(Verse 2)
The Geiger counters wail, a symphony of dread,
As we navigate through halls, where the doomed tread.
The glow of uranium, a haunting sight,
As we witness the end, in this eternal night.
(Pre-Chorus)
Metal beasts awaken, groan and roar,
As we tread through corridors, forevermore.
The air thickens with the stench of decay,
As we delve deeper into this hellish fray.
(Chorus)
Cleaning the reactor, our fate is sealed,
In the depths of despair, our souls are peeled.
Radiation poisoning, consuming our veins,
Slowly dying in agony, eternal chains.
(Chorus)
Cleaning the reactor, our fate is sealed,
In the depths of despair, our souls are peeled.
Radiation poisoning, consuming our veins,
Slowly dying in agony, eternal chains.
(Bridge)
Skin blistered and cracked, bones turned to dust,
In this wasteland of despair, we put our trust.
But the radiation consumes, with merciless glee,
As we succumb to the darkness, we'll never be free.
(Chorus)
Cleaning the reactor, our fate is sealed,
In the depths of despair, our souls are peeled.
Radiation poisoning, consuming our veins,
Slowly dying in agony, eternal chains.
(Outro)
In the belly of the reactor, where shadows dwell,
We fade into oblivion, in this nuclear hell.

Ripper's Craving
01:40
|
|||
|
Perhaps twisted,
Perhaps not,
I simply have a craving,
A craving for that sigh,
The sigh a woman makes when she cries.
She cries out in pain,
Like Mary Jane Kelly,
One of the ones
That met me,
Jack the Ripper,
They call me.

Twists and Turns
02:00
|
|||
|
This world, a maze,
We wander, lost in a collective gaze.
What will we dare, we wonder,
And who, in the end, will care?
Through the twists and turns, we traverse,
In this infinite universe.
Is the afterlife a mere myth,
Beyond this life, the labyrinth?
