BENEATH THE MASSACRE LYRICS

1. Condemned

Can you feel the anguish, the anguish taking over?
Thrown into this world with no essence
We are what we asked for;
Rapists and architects of decay and destruction

We claim our innocence...
We claim our innocence...

Can you feel the anguish?
Condemned to vile existence:
We have failed to make sense of all this
Struck down by the weight of the world
We now turn to an empty sky
Condemned to vile existence:
We have failed to make sense of all this
The irrelevance of life:
The anguish of our existence

The anguish is taking over
Thrown into this world with no essence;
Just an orphan creature in search of guidance
Guidance and acquittal

We claim our innocence...
We claim our innocence when we're the ones to blame
Just look deep inside: there is no will to change
We claim our innocence when we're the ones to blame

Thrown into this world with no essence
We are what we asked for;
Rapists and architects of decay and destruction

Condemned to vile existence:
We have failed to make sense of all this
Struck down by the weight of the world
We now turn to an empty sky
Condemned to vile existence:
We have failed to make sense of all this
The irrelevance of life:
The anguish of our existence

2. Reign Of Terror

Witness my empowerment
Witness my rise and your fall; your fall

I can now hope for a tomorrow
A new horizon is opening before my eyes
Personal emancipation
Now free of past alienation
I can now hope for a tomorrow
A new horizon is opening before my eyes
Personal emancipation
Now free
Ending my suffering

Ending my suffering

These chains that held me back for years are now tight around your neck
And I laugh at your pain
As your face is turning blue
All these years I've been waiting for this moment to arrive and it feels better than I expected
I'm finally breaking free
These chains that held me back for years are now tight around your neck
And I laugh at your pain
As your face is turning blue
All these years I've been waiting for this moment to arrive and it feels better than I expected
I'm finally breaking free

Witness my rise and your fall

I can now hope for a tomorrow
A new horizon is opening before my eyes
Personal emancipation
Now free of past alienation
I can now hope for a tomorrow
A new horizon is opening before my eyes
Personal emancipation
Now free
Ending my suffering

Your reign of terror ends as mine begins
Your reign of terror ends as mine begins
Your reign of terror ends as mine begins
Your reign of terror ends as mine begins

3. Our Common Grave

Perfection never seemed so reachable
A though pattern used oh so many times in the past
Passively waiting to fulfill our role
Of flesh and steel, we live in the perfect symbiosis

Reduced to consumer machines,
We fulfilled the role we were thought to
One foot in the grave; our common grave

Perfection never seemed so reachable
A though pattern used oh so many times in the past
Passively waiting to fulfill our role
Of flesh and steel, we live in the perfect symbiosis

Reduced to consumer machines,
We fulfilled the role we were thought to
We create superfluous needs only to sustain our arrogance
One foot in the grave; our common grave
One foot in the grave; our common grave

Coffin shaped incubators
Take us one step closer to our doom
Self inflicted destiny
Take us one step closer to our doom

Passively waiting to fulfill our role
Of flesh and steel, we live in the perfect symbiosis

Reduced to consumer machines,
We fulfilled the role we were thought to
We create superfluous needs only to sustain our arrogance
One foot in the grave; our common grave
One foot in the grave; our common grave

4. Harvest Of Hate

And still, you venerate what has brought you down; kneeling for salvation
Still waiting for someone to save yourself from Hell

Still waiting for holy answers from a human mouth
And only pain you harvest
You harvest pain

Don't turn the other cheek to the man dressed in the white and covered in the people's blood

Still waiting for holy answers from a human mouth
And only pain you harvest
You harvest fears and hate, your daily prayer, your daily sin
Now you can die free of guilt, free of guilt...

5. The Wasteland

Knee deep in the blood of our peers, it's already too late, there is no turning back
Oblivious to our actions
Conditioned lifestyle leading to our extinction
Knee deep in the blood of our peers, it's already too late, there is no turning back
Oblivious to our actions
Conditioned lifestyle

Behold our kingdom, our failure, our wasteland
Breathing; we fake living this life every day
We are prisoners of our own laws, our own mind, forced-fed mind...

We live in intellectual starvation
We fear what we can't understand
Deny, what we cannot bare, comprehend and respect
We found comfort in denial
Comfort in denial

Behold our kingdom, our wasteland, our failure...
Fear is our common denominator
Breathing; we fake living this life every day
We are prisoners of our own laws, our own mind, forced-fed mind...

In Manicnaeism we found faith
In wars, we found security
In wars, we found complacency
In violence, we found peace
We found comfort in denial

Constant quest for a new enemy to prevent self destruction
Rude awakening from your sweetest dream - this is not over yet
Holding silence for so long and embrace the tragedy
Living in constant escapism: comforting isn't it?

Knee deep in the blood of our peers, it's already too late, there is no turning back
Oblivious of our actions
Conditioned lifestyle leading to our extinction
Knee deep in the blood of our peers, it's already too late, there is no turning back
Oblivious of our actions
Conditioned lifestyle

6. Bitter

As failure becomes so imminent, broken, I walk away;
Was this all in vain?

We once had a dream... it's now dying
Helpless I assist, I assist to our utopia's end

All these years spent building this foundation...
Now trading hope for sorrow
What have we done?
All these years spend building...
Was this all in vain?

Never felt as lonely as in this crowd
All these empty eyes staring at me...
I won't make it through the night...
Won't make it without you...

Reach out for my hand and help me chase the taste of bitterness that fills my mouth
Let me hear your voice just like you used to...
I can take the pain when you're by my side
Don't let lust and greed have the best of you
Beaten, vanquished; is this how it ends? How it ends?

We once had a dream... it's now dying
Helpless I assist, I assist to our utopia's end
Helpless I assist, I assist to our utopia's end

As failure becomes so imminent, broken, I walk away;
Was this all in vain?

7. No Future

I walked the path you chose for me, enlightened by your wisdom
Let down; I now see clear
I see it as it is;
No
No future.
No
No future.

8. Lithium Overdose

Wretched
Fatally wounded
Save me from myself

A tormented mind that nothing can appease
A stain on our conscience
A tormented mind now running on empty
A stain on our conscience
A stain on our conscience

Help me find my way back to healing
Take me to your artificial paradise
Feed me the lies I'm dying to hear
I need this illusion to make it through

Wretched
Fatally wounded
Save me from myself

I need a shoulder to rest my head on
Bring me serenity so I can close my eyes; close my eyes on this world
Take me to your artificial paradise
I need an illusion to hide my insanity
Give me, give me the strength I need to carry on
The strength to carry on

Wretched
Fatally wounded
Save me from myself

A tormented mind that nothing can appease
A stain on our conscience
A tormented mind now running on empty
A stain on our conscience
A stain on our conscience

Save me...
Save me...
Save me...
Save me...
I can stare at the enemy in the mirror's reflection
I can stare at the enemy in the mirror's reflection
I can stare at the enemy in the mirror's reflection
I can stare at the enemy in the mirror's reflection

9. Tharsis

10. Never More

Face down
Obey to who is ordering:
God and master
Each one of us has someone to please
Work more, faster, the show, it must go on
Work more, spend more
Happiness is one purchase away

We live our lives like if our condition would be just a phase
In wait of some kind of recognition that will surely not come
As for me, I had enough

From now on,
Never more
From now on,
Never more

Work more, buy more, spend more, then rot in peace
Work more, buy more
Trying to buy happiness
Vicious circle, I put an end to this vicious circle
Will this end only once I'm dead?

And so we'll live in blood sweat and tears:
No love no hate
And so we'll die: bound to happen
I won't die the same

Conscious
Happiness can't be bought
No respect can be found in a system based on our craze or the superfluous
Happiness can't be bought
Dignity is coming back as I swear to myself now:

From now on,
Never more
From now on,
Never more

11. Procreating The Infection

When it's all been said and done
Our actions will speak for themselves

Industrial madness;
Apocalyptic vision created by men
This is the end, nothing is worthy to be saved
Mankind has finally reached the bottom
This is the end
Nothing is worth to be saved
Mankind washed away from the face of the earth
All these years ignoring the symptoms of our imminent extinction
We realized too late

We've been told, we've been warned yet we didn't listen
Now we must face the terrible consequences

Centuries of exploitation will take their toll on the earth
Centuries of exploitation will make it uninhabitable

Our actions will speak for themselves, when it's all been said and done
We created this living hell and now we must pay the price

Centuries of exploitation will take their toll on the earth
Centuries of exploitation will make it uninhabitable

All these years ignoring the symptoms of our imminent extinction
We realized too late

We've been told, we've been warned yet we didn't listen
Now we must face the terrible consequences

Our actions will speak for themselves, when it's all been said and done
We created this living hell and now we must pay the price

Light is now shutting for good
We crossed the point of no return
There's no more hope

Our actions will speak for themselves, when it's all been said and done
