Aesthetics of Decay
05:43
|
|||
The scenery is set
A modern urban warfare, has commenced
Resistance seems futile
As vultures tear downs neighbourhoods
to pave the way for yet, another skyline
to breed the image of success
Carbon deposited from flames
From incomplete combustions of fuels
Aesthetics of decay
Urban wasteland strike back
Cast iron - forged steel
Bricks upon the solid concrete
Architectural wreckage of past times
Oxidized machinery transforming the urban landscape
Remnants of industrialization
Carbon deposited from flames
From incomplete combustions of fuels
Aesthetics of decay
Urban wasteland strike back

City Lights

City light shining brightly
tearing up the darkened night
Like a beacon drawing me nearer
it rips apart the blackened sky
City lights bring me home
In your arms I find delight
Bricks n metal Beauty in concrete
Familiar faces will greet me tonight
City lights
shining bright
Come on take me home tonight
City lights
burning bright
Come on take me home tonight
Bring the night Bring it gladly
A thousand shining lights so bright
The city is awakened and aware
with restless arms it holds me tight
Come on lights Come on night
Your wayward daughter will be taking flight
Seeking solace from restless yearnings
This one will be home tonight
City lights
shining bright
Come on take me home tonight
City lights
burning bright
Come on take me home tonight

Defender of the Old Way
03:45
|
|

I’m bringing back the old ways
like a warrior of tradition
My methods are inferred by the ages
I’m a shepherd of safekeeping
filled with blood of the old
I forsake the dawn of the new
Defender of the old ways
Rejector of things new
Master of inertia
Protector of the few
I see progress without mercy
on the behalf of the weak
Chasing down the hounds of progression
Defender of the old ways
Rejector of things new
Master of inertia
Protector of the few

The Civil Serpent
03:30
|
|
||
Submitting the people to the rule of the law
I am the civil serpent
Entrenched in paragraphs
The guiding line is alienation
Create a sense of chaos
Weighed down by the letter of the law
Obedience without cruelty
Your mind is slowly changing
I am the civil serpent
Obedience without cruelty
All life is slowly draining
I am the civil serpent
Structural submission
You’ll be lost inside my bureaucratic maze
I know the only way out
Entanglement as a strategy
Intentions never questioned
Urge to control
All free will be denied
Obedience without cruelty
Your mind is slowly changing
I am the civil serpent
Obedience without cruelty
All life is slowly draining
I am the civil serpent
Structural submission

Merciful Slayer

I’m not doing this for mammon
I’m not in for the fame
I don’t feel the need for power
Someone chanting out my name
The thrill of battle is not my motif
I don’t do this for man
There’s no field of glory for me
Slaying is my aim
Run into the Face of Fire x 2
Mercy is my name
Slaying is my aim
The impenitent will fall
and death will free us all
I’m not doing this for pleasures
I’m not in it for cheap thrills
There’s no business in this endeavor
I’m just going for the kill
If you see me
You’re not deemed righteous
My sword will set you free
The penitent won’t be forgotten
but there’s nowhere to flee
Run into the face of fire x 4
Mercy is my name
Slaying is my aim
The impenitent will fall
and death will free us all
Hunting is my way of living
Sinners are my prey
Pray the gods will be forgiving
Sin and you shall pay
Run into the face of fire x 6
Mercy is my name
Slaying is my aim
The impenitent will fall
and death will free us all

Infernal Steel Brigade
03:17
|
|
||
We were raised by the fear of a nuclear war
Annihilation just to settle the score
A time machine calling up the hammers
Raising hell. Raise your banners high
A crushing demon made of steel
Assasina!
Wrecking necks
Causing fires
Horns in the air
Pustraki!
Infernal
Infernal steel
Infernal
Infernal steel brigade
Hard rock additives running through our veins
The riff is the gasoline feeding the machine
A ferocious onslaught on your ears
Fast as lighting. Loud and clear
A crushing demon made of steel
Assasina!
Wrecking necks
Causing fires
Horns in the air
Pustraki!
Infernal
Infernal steel
Infernal
Infernal steel brigade
A new force to be reckoned
An outburst. An attack.
Fiercing power of metal might!

Spiralling of in negativity
Always seeing the cons before the pros
Pulling everyone around you down
Creating surpassed by the will to criticize
The blind perception of “the other” breeds the hatred
Seize the day
Dismantling fixed positions
Self-proclaimed preachers standing in the back
Pointing fingers. Launching an attack
An immense inability
to grasp the subtleties of life
The fear of “the other” breeds the hatred
Fueled by ignorance
Torched by hate
Seize the day
Dismantling fixed positions

Flashing Reality
03:21
|
|
||
Drawn in like a car crash
Eyes bound for the screen
Flickering personalities drifting by
Brainless exposure
with decadence and deceit
Unreal reality
Carved from stupidity
Flashing reality
with hollow personalities
Unreal reality
with hollow personalities
Clowns in bikinis
concurring plastic crowns
Willfully exploited in a world of pixels
Loved and loathed
Ridiculed and admired
Entertainment grown
from the lowest common denominator
Flashing reality
with hollow personalities
Unreal reality
with hollow personalities

...of Desire and Woe
04:20

Desire burns both weak and strong
It brings you down It won’t take long
Desire battles mind and soul
It drags with it both fear and woe
Of desire and woe
Woe to those who crave the ache
Love is loss make no mistake
Careful it will burn your soul
Of desire and woe we both should know
Of desire and woe
Desire and woe x 3
Rip it from your heart - your soul
It drugs you with the taste of gold
Desire shreds your sanity
Rots away your hopes you’ll see
Of desire and woe
Woe to those who crave the ache
Love is loss make no mistake
Careful it will burn your soul
Of Desire and woe we both should know
Of desire and woe
Desire and woe x 3

To End All Wars
03:56
|
|
||
It will be a war to end all wars
or so it was said
Rulers hovering high
shouting at the masses
As the clergy bless the weapons
Tycoons begin their count
One million poems written
about honor and blood
A war to end all wars
but still we keep on fighting
The soldiers marching on
There’ll be another war
Deep down in the trenches
a new warfare takes form
Casualties on a scale
not seen before
Stalemate!
The ultimate defense
A testing ground for new technologies
Gasses fill the sky
A war to end all wars
but still we keep on fighting
The soldiers marching on
There’ll be another war
Shell shock - not glory
Is the aftermath of war
The only victor here: rats feeding on the dead
