  • Shadows

    These walls they bleed
    Of desire pain and faith
    Are we to blame
    For our shadows?
    
    When the armies of weakness
    Are rising from inside your heart
    A society resting on shoulders
    Falling apart
    
    Fight your war
    Leave your insanity
    Say that you will return again
    A promise you never kept
    Fight your war
    
    I bang my head against the wall
    ‘cause all my dreams should not been dreamt
    We bleed to death for our shadows
    
    Can you feel all the weakness around you
    Reach for your heart?
    A society resting on shoulders
    Fallingt apart
    
    Fight your war
    Leave your insanity
    Say that you will return again
    A promise you never kept
    Spread your words
    Follow your destiny
    Look for the sign
    It leads you there
    
    When the armies of weakness
    Are rising from inside your heart
    A society resting on shoulders
    Fall apart
    Fall apart!
    
    Fight your war
    Leave your insanity
    Say that you will return again
    A promise you never kept
    Spread your words
    Follow your destiny
    Look for the sign
    It leads you, there!
    
    
  • The Darkest Room

    In a time and place
    The search is on of what’s forgotten
    Life has brought a name for you
    
    They say it’s gone
    Appearances are all deceptive
    I cry out my hate for you 
    
    Time will go on and on
    Though life has to fade
    
    Another failure
    I believe that destiny is made
    We are courageous
    Fighting in despair
    
    Follow the faithless
    Look and find the spring of all mistakes
    Another failure
    Fighting ‘til the end
    
    Another lie another plague
    Further setback for the bleeding ones
    Don’t you give me cures which can not heal
    
    In vain we pray
    But no one seems to heed the whisper 
    Judas is the name for you
    
    Time will go on and on
    Though life has to fade
    
    Another failure
    I believe that destiny is made
    We are courageous
    Fighting in despair
    
    Follow the faithless
    Look and find the spring of all mistakes
    Another failure
    Fighting ‘til the end
    
    Oh, in despair
    In despair!
    Never surrender
    Never give up
    
  • Living Dead

    You lead the fight
    I bring the truth
    Can’t have it all
    It’s so unreachable
    If you don’t care
    
    These staring eyes
    They penetrate
    Will reach your mind
    If you know what I mean
    Nothing to fear
    
    Come see the world inside my head
    Join the living dead
    Believe the word and turn away from it all
    
    Reveal the life
    You kept within
    Corrupted life
    Take it away from me
    I don’t want my share
    
    Protected minds 
    Of what’s obscene
    You failed their lies
    And took it back from me
    Welcome to my show
    
    Come see the world inside my head
    Join the living dead
    Believe the word and turn away from it all
    
    Life stands still
    I pull the trigger
    Set you free away from it all
    
    To be the one
    Who pulls the trigger
    And set you free away from it all
    
    Come see the world inside my head
    Join the living dead
    Believe the word and turn away from it all
    Come see the world inside my head
    Join the living dead
    Believe the word and turn away from it all
    
  • I Am

    In a world of fantasies
    I float around like a ship without sails
    A quick escape my remedy
    Reach out your hand
    And I’ll show you the world of the damned
    
    Nothing to do for me but pray
    I close my eyes to leave my worries
    It’s my world please go away
    I want it back, back what’s taken from me
    
    ‘Cause I am mortality
    Say that we fade into grey
    You are the pain inside us
    Follow into the unknown
    
    The world is set for me to reign
    Under the sun to cast a shadow
    I tried so hard to break these chains
    I leave my hate to those
    Who are beyond change
    
    ‘Cause I am mortality
    Say that we fade into grey
    You are the pain inside us
    Follow into the unknown
    
    We stand on the edge
    Let us dive into light
    
    ‘Cause I am 
    and I fear mortality
    Say that we fade into grey
    You are the pain inside us
    Follow into the unknown
    Dive into the unknown
    
    
  • Ordinary Man

    I’m afraid to lose the way
    To never know my whereabouts
    Unable to relate
    I’m afraid I’m not awake
    So wake me up before the dawn
    And loosen my restrains
    
    I’m afraid to walk another way
    So get in line and look away
    Too weak to disobey
    Please remember me 
    Sweet dreams of who I am
    An ordinary man 
    With an ordinary plan
    
    Now it’s time to cease the day
    Of who you are and what you’ve been
    Will always be the same
    Yes life is just a game
    Invite all fools and start again
    
    I am the lie in the truth
    I am reflections of a youth
    Forever like in a dream
    I rise again with my beliefs
    
    Blinded by the pain
    The acid disintegrates my name and nothing more
    Lost in a modern world
    Lost in a sudden world
    Lost in a perfect world again
    
    I’m crawling I’ve reached this far
    The time has come to hear my call
    Come closer show me who you are
    There’s a broken shadow in your heart
    
    Believe the word…
    
    I am the lie in the truth
    I am reflections of a youth
    Forever like in a dream
    I rise again with my beliefs
    Come closer show me who you are
    There’s a broken shadow in your heart
    
    	
  • Human Nature

    Sweet caress 
    of humiliation
    Ruled by a voice 
    of a forreign nation
    Taking it’s vengeance on you 
    with a war
    Too late to pray for redemption
    
    Here’s your mission, obey your superior’s command
    Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
    Take no prisoners, kill them all
    Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
    
    Meet the beast 
    fed on pure oppression
    Craven killers
    shaped by human nature
    Nobody’s innocent here 
    this is a war
    Look at yourself
    
    Here’s your mission, obey your superior’s command
    Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
    Take no prisoners, kill them all
    Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
    
    They’re standing, laughing in your face as you scream
    The pain will slowly take control of your soul
    
    Here’s your mission, obey your superior’s command
    Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
    Take no prisoners, kill them all
    Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
    Here’s your mission, obey your superior’s command
    Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
    Take no prisoners, kill them all
    Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
    	
  • Spinegrinder

    I’m an angel
    I’m the grinding angel
    And I’ve been watching you for a while
    I’ve been standing in the corner
    I’ve been hiding in your closet corner
    So let’s bring to light what seldom shine
    
    Sending chills straight down your spine
    If you hide then I will find
    And I’ve been searching for a while
    You can’t protect yourself from me
    I can see what you can feel
    If you’re weak then you will carry me
    
    Agony and misery I owe
    You man
    Eternity commencing as you love…
    
    the Spinegrinder
    Spinegrinder
    
    I see you
    Yes, with a shattered future
    You’re with me ´til the end of time
    As the breaching of all borders
    Freedom rings under six foot sorrows
    A hasty life between infinity and forever
    
    Agony and misery I love
    You man
    Eternity commencing as you owe…
    
    the Spinegrinder
    Spinegrinder
    Spinegrinder
    Spinegrinder
    
    Here I am,
    for all the world to see
    with broken hands I am the king of me
    sent to the world on my own, in order to redeem
    
    Agony and misery I love
    You man
    Eternity commencing as you grow, grow grow…
    
    a Spinegrinder
    Spinegrinder
    Spinegrinder
    It’s the Spinegrinder
    SPINEGRINDER
    
    	
  • Dreamers and Fools

    Time moves on leaving me
    In this godforsaken place
    Left with thoughts of a life
    Without dreams I would speak empty words
    Shattered fame makes the end of it all
    You will become who I am and what we are
    
    With fragments of life I’m forging my 
    dream and I’m screaming for more
    And I will receive the honour I’ve earned
    In grief we will burn to clear our evil thoughts
    Shattered dreams will resemble us all
    Broken and lost they shall fall, into the…
     
    Time will forget
    Time will believe
    All I have lost will return if I call
    
    Dreamers and fools
    Followed by fear
    The search for our freedom will end on this day
    
    So they face the evil
    Keep on burning, take the fall
    
    All shattered dreams will resemble us all
    Broken and lost they shall fall, into the…
    
    Time will forget
    Time will believe
    All I have lost will return if I call
    
    Dreamers and fools
    Followed by fear
    The search for our freedom will end on this day
    	
    	
  • The Life We Lived

    Damn this path I walk
    All is so quiet here
    Calm before the storm
    End of humanity?
    
    Unleash the demons of the dark
    This time I have lost, went all in
    Sweet smell of victory is gone
    I wake up and sense the fear
    
    When the hour struck us
    When the fury tears us all apart
    There will be a time for being strong
    We created it all in the life we lived
    
    Close the path I walk
    All is abandoned here
    In filth the demons crawl
    Powered by all the shame
    
    When the hour struck us
    When the fury tears us all apart
    There will be a time for being strong
    We created it all in the life we lived
    
    Caught in a silence everything’s calm
    I feel alone and afraid
    I look at the world as it’s holding its breath
    Then I look away
    Oh your deeds has come for you
    Holy four rose like war
    Now is the time to speak out!
    
    A wave on the water a wind in the trees
    Turns into chaos at once
    The earth starts to shake and you run for your life
    But there’s nowhere to hide
    
    A burning inferno rise to the sky
    Turns the town into dust
    The elder are screaming: “This is for our sins
    Armageddon is now!”
    
    Oh my savior where’re you now?
    We’re forsaken
    We’re crucified
    
    When the hour struck us
    When the fury tears us all apart
    There will be a time for being strong
    We created it all in the life we lived
    In the life we lived
