You fucking leech
I despise you by my very soul
Your teeth against my neck
You suck me dry till there's nothing left
im trapped in a chokehold
no escape from this hell
Born and die in vampyric system
The blood is the vital condition of its life
Fuck you you'll never see
How the world seem's through the eyes of shackled identities
System built on Exterminated destinies
We're bound to burn in the flames of efficiency
The profit
Our burden
Just a part of machinery
The greed
Our drudgery
Just a Part of machinery
Fuck you
you'll never see
How the world seem's through The eyes of shackled identities

oh lord, have I seen the world burn
I beg for forgiveness but you give me the scourge
all my life, I ought to be like you
but casted down with the worms I'm bound to stir
struck down by your wrath
I'm enslaved by my shame
with the worms I will pine
and by my incongruous self hate
I've lost faith in my kind
oh lord, have I seen the world burn
I beg for forgiveness but you give me the scourge
all my life, I ought to be like you
but casted down with the worms I'm bound to stir
let the darkness of the night
turn you blind
let the shackles of the blight
consume your weak mind
I've lost faith in my kind
Through the darkest hours of the darkest days
I’ve sought repentance
Regrets and memories tearing a hole in my heart
Body and soul baptized in lies
Like a light that dies in the night
i’ve lost faith in my kind
I think I never really got your love
but you gave me your word
and in your name I will cleanse this world
and in your name I will cleanse this world
they know not what they do
but I cannot forgive
the death of true love
the darkness descents

Desire for Salvation
03:36
|

|
crawling senseless through the fields of time
drown ourselves in to the murderous lies
callous bloodsheds define the system of filth
progression turned into a clinical kill
desire for salvation
through denial of life
blistering wound beneath the skin
reminds of stolen destiny
wind rising from beyond
the gates of paradise;
world a blaze
image of a better world
washed away by hurt
sacrifice the herd
in the name of…
burning, burning
burning in the name of war
sacrifice humanity;
the darkness within us
crawling senseless through the fields of time
drown ourselves in to the murderous lies
callous bloodsheds define the system of filth
progression turned into a clinical kill

Ashes of Burning Worlds
02:26
|
|||
|
meshes of illusions unfold
reality shattered to mazes of words
life, carved deep within self
lost its purpose into the sea of meaning
galloping through the fields of old
I brace myself for a new time to come
life, carved deep within self
lost it’s purpose into the sea of meaning
destroy order to chaos
to create new life
from the ashes of burning worlds
I shall find my fate

Flaw in a Mortal Machine
02:48
|

|
give in to the mortifying discomfort
as my spirit fades away
there’s a flaw in a mortal machine
and my blood’s the gasoline
diverged from the essence of purity
as my spirit fades away
fallen from the grace of love
and my soul’s turned to stone
our kingdom’s burned into torment
forcing my reality to crumble
crushing my nerves to shape time
starting a fire that wont burn out
adapt a new form
seperate my consciousness
from the old norm
embrace the cold as I enter the void
time is an abyss, created to destroy
our kingdom’s burned into torment
forcing my reality to crumble
crushing my nerves to shape time
starting a fire that wont burn out

memories from the dark past
casting morbid shadows upon future aeons…
centuries of filth
embedded in flesh
naïve dreams shattered
under the wheels of progress
no foundation
beneath their faith
I reject your vision
only lies underneath your dream
centuries of filth
embedded in flesh
naïve dreams shattered
under the wheels of progress
lost in the mazes of meaning
our burden
bursting my soul in to flames
ashes of fragile beliefs
scattered upon this dying world

the progress and decay
in human being, forged as one
bipolar truth, determining our world
domination, defined by subjection
enslaving, defining our fate
every instrument of mastery
becomes the lifeblood of its own
in human being, its all forged as one
shred by contradictions
the truth lies in one's self
in the duality of man
every step of the enlightment
pushing us further from the darkness
always leads back to itself:
the ultimate destruction

through the bloody fields of history
we always sought for immortality
blinded by prosperity
driven into madness and tyranny
