Song: Blackened

Blackened is the endWinter it will sendThrowing all you seeInto
obscurityDeath of mother earthNever a rebirthEvolution's endNever will
it mendNever   Fire   To begin whipping dance of the dead   Blackened is
the end   To begin whipping dance of the dead   Color our world
blackenedBustering of earthTerminate its worthDeadly nicotineKills what
might have beenCallous frigid chillNothing left to killNever seen
beforeBreathing nevermoreNever   Fire   To begin whipping dance of the
dead   Blackened is the end   To begin whipping dance of the dead  
Color our world blackened             
BlackenedOpposition...contradiction...premonition...compromiseAgitation...violation...mutilation...planet dies   Darkest color   Blistered earth 
 True death of lifeTermination....expiration...cancellation...human
raceExpectation...liberation...population...lay to waste   See our
mother   Put to death   See our mother dieSmouldering decayTake her
breath awayMillions of our yearsIn minutes disappearsDarkening in
vainDecadence remainsAll is said and doneNever is the sunNever   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

Song: ...And Justice For All

Halls of justice painted greenMoney talkingPower wolves beset your
doorHear them stalkingSoon you'll please their appetiteThey devourHammer
of justice crushes youOverpower   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 realApathy their stepping stoneSo
unfeelingHidden deep animositySo deceivingThrough your eyes their light
burnsHoping to findInquisition sinking youWith 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 realLady
justice has been rapedTruth assassinRolls of red tape seal your lipsNow
you're done inTheir money tips her scales againMake your dealJust what
is truth?i cannot tellCannot 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 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     Seeking no truth     Winning is all   
 Find it so grim             So true             So real

Song: Eye Of The Beholder

Do you see what i see?Truth is an offenceYou silence for your
confidenceDo you hear what i hear?Doors are slamming shutLimit your
imagination, keep you where they mustDo you feel what i feel?Bittering
distressWho decides what you expressDo you take what i take?Endurance is
the wordMoving back instead of forward seems to me absurdDoesn't matter
what you see?Or into it what you readYou can do it your own wayIf it's
done just how i sayIndependence limitedFreedom of choiceChoice is mad
for you my friendFreedom of speechSpeech is words that they will
bendFreedom with their exceptionDo you fear what i fear?Living
properlyTruths to you are lies to meDo you choose what i choose?More
alternivesEnergy derives from both the plus and negativeDo you need what
i need?Boundaries overthrownLook inside to each his ownDo you trust what
i trust?Me, myself and iPenetrate the smoke screen i see through the
selfishlieDoesn't matter what you seeOr into it what you readYou can do
it your own wayIf it's done just how i sayIndependence limitedFreedom of
choiceChoice is mad for you my friendFreedom of speechSpeech is words
that they will bendFreedom with their exceptionDo you know what i
know?Your money end your wealthYour silence just to hear your selfDo you
want what i want?Desire not a thingI hunger after independence lengthen
freedom's ringDoesn't matter what you seeOr into it what you readYou can
do it your own wayIf it's done just how i sayIndependence limitedFreedom
of choiceChoice is mad for you my friendFreedom of speechSpeech is words
that they will bendFreedom with their exceptionDoesn't matter what you
seeOr into it what you readYou can do it your own wayIf it's done just
how i say

Song: 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 can not see  That there is
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 its 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

Song: The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your nameYour honesty to blamePut dignity to

Song: Harvester Of Sorrow

My life suffocatesPlanting seeds of hateI've loved, turned to
hateTrapped far beyond my fateI giveYou takeThis life that i forsakeBeen
cheated of my youthYou turned this lie to truth  Anger  Misery  You'll
suffer unto meHarvester of sorrowLanguage of the madHarvester of
sorrowPure black looking clearMy work is done soon hereTry getting back
to meGet back which used to beDrink upShoot inLet the beatings
beginDistributor of painYour loss becomes my gain  Anger  Misery  You'll
suffer unto meHarvester of sorrowLanguage of the madHarvester of
sorrowAll have said their prayersInvade their nightmaresSee into my
eyesYou'll find where murder liesInfanticide   Harvester of sorrow  
Language of the mad   Harvester of sorrow   Language of the mad  
Harvester of sorrow

Song: The Frayed Ends Of Sanity

Never hungerNever prosperI have fallen prey to failureStruggle
withinTriggered againNow the candle burns at both endsTwisting under
schizophreniaFalling 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 meBirth of
terrorDeath of much moreI'm the slave of fear,my captorNever
warningsSpreading its wingsAs i wait for the horror she bringsLoss of
interest,question,wonderWaves 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
meInto runI am sinkingHostage of this nameless feelingHell is set
freeFlooded i'll beFeel the undertow inside meHeight, hell, time, haste,
terror, tensionLife, death, want, waste, mass depression   Old habbits
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@SONG: To Live is to
DieWhen a man lies he murders  Some part of the worldThese are the pale
deaths which  Men miscall their livesAll this i cannot bear  To witness
any longerCannot the kingdom of salvation  Take me home

Song: Dyers Eve

Dear motherDear fatherWhat is this hell you have put me
throughBelieverDeceiverDay in day out live my life through youPushed
onto me what's wrong or rightHidden from this thing that they call
lifeDear motherDear fatherEvery thought i'd think you'd
disapproveCuratorDictatorAlways cencoring my every moveChildren are seen
bur are not heardTear out everything inspired   Innocence   Torn from me
without your shelter   Barred reality   I'm living blindlyDear
motherDear fatherTime has frozen still what's left to beHear nothingSay
nothingCannot face the fact i think for meNo guarantee,it's life as
isBut damn you for not giving me my chanceDear motherDear fatherYou've
clipped my wings before i learned to flyUnspoiledUnspokenI've outgrown
that fucking lullabySame thing i've always heard from youDo 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 meDear
motherDear fatherHidden in your world you've made for meI'm seethingI'm
bleedingRipping wounds in me that never healUndying spite i feel for
youLiving out this hell you always knew
