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 03:12
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
