BLOODWORK LYRICS

1. Intro

2. The Enemy Within

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

TIME IS RUNNING OUT NOW
THE ALTERATION HAS BEGUN
NO CHANCE TO STEM THE TIDE
FAR TOO LATE, THE DAMAGE IS DONE
BETRAYED BY FLESH AND BLOOD
REBELLION AT GROUND ZERO
DRAGGED UNWILLINGLY
INTO A WAR WITHOUT A HERO
ITS STARTING TO REACH OUT NOW
A DEADLY GRASP FROM THE INSIDE
STANDING ON THE EDGE
GOT THE RIGHT TO LIVE DENIED
FADING INTO TWILIGHT
BOUND TO WATCH THE OWN DECAY
CAST DOWN FROM THE LIVING THRONE
AND CAST ALL LIFE AWAY
WAITING FOR THE CERTAIN END TO COME
UNTIL THE COMBATS DONE
ALL THAT’S LEFT TO DO IS TO GIVE IN
TO THE ENEMY (WITHIN)

3. Ex Vita

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

CHANGE, THE ULTIMATE CHANGE COMES
IN TERROR FROM BEHIND THE FACE
ALL BRIDGES BURNED
JOIN IN ON THE PATH OF THE LOST
ONE LIFE. ONE HEART, ONE SOUL
VERGING ON THE EDGE OF VOID
AS SHADES WE TREAD
OM THE PATH OF THE LOST
AND THEY FADE
TO THE UNFORGIVING ABYSS OF THE NETHERWORLD
AND THEY DEGRADE
FROM DUST TO DUST
WITH THE ASHEN AVALANCHE
TO FALL
NEVERMORE
THEY LEFT SO LONG AGO
IN SWEET SUBSIDENCE
CHANGE, THE ULTIMATE CHANGE COMES
AS BITTER RAIN TO SACRED SOIL
ALL GROUND SHALL BURN
WITH THE PATH OF THE LOST
SO SHALT THOU FEED ON DEATH
THAT FEEDS ON MAN
WITH DEATH ONCE DEAD
THERE’S NO MORE DYING THEN

4. A Cycle Once Broken

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

REBORN AGAIN IN AFFLICTION
SO MUCH LEFT BACK IN ANOTHER LIFE
CAUGHT IN THE FANGS OF ADDICITON
WE FIND OURSELVES TO INCINERATE IN FIRE,
WIDE AWAKE IN FIRE
BURNING FROM WITHIN
IT’S SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL
AN EIGHTFOLD PRICE TO PAY
THE LEGACY OF THE ULTIMATE SOUL
IN SILENCE UNSPOKEN
DOWN THE ROAD, IF WE DON’T DIGRESS
A CYCLE ONCE BROKEN
DISCOVERING THE FORM OF EMPTINESS
DOMINATION OF THE BLIND
LOCKED UP AND LEFT IN A FORTRESS OF FLESH
THE ASCENDING MIND
CONDEMNED BY FATE INTO UNACCOUNTED LIES,
WIDE AWAKE IN A SEA OF LIES
AWAKE TO SEE A WORLD IN PAIN
AWAKE, YET STILL ASLEEP AND
DREAMING ENDLESSLY

5. Demonic

[music: Nikko, lyrics: David, Nikko]

ANOTHER STEP’S DONE TO YOUR DESCENT
ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE END
YOU FIND YOURSELF IN ANOTHER MAN’S HAND
NO RIGHT TO RULE, CONTROL AND TO COMMAND
FROM THE SILENT HALLS OF RUST
TO THE IDOLS TURNED TO DUST
LEAVE YOUR REASON TO YOUR RAGE
FREE THE MONSTER FROM THE CAGE
GONE DEMONIC – STAINED UPON THE SOUL
EMBRACED BY DARKNESS CLOSING IN
LET YOUR WEAKNESS DROWN IN SIN
AND RAISE YOUR HATE
THE LOSS OF MEMORY, THIS UNUSUAL THOUGHTS
A RAGING MINDWAR SHOWS, THAT YOU NEED ME
THIS COEXISTENCE IS NOT MEANT TO BE
BUT AS I SEE, WE SHARE THE SAME TIME
FROM THE SILENT HALLS OF RUST
TO THE IDOLS TURNED TO DUST
LEAVE YOUR REASON TO YOUR RAGE
FREE THE MONSTER FROM THE CAGE
GONE DEMONIC – STAINED UPON THE SOUL
A RESTLESS LIFE YOU CAN’T PRETEND
A HOLLOWED ENEMY, YOU CAN’T DEFEND
THIS FIGHT YOU CANNOT WIN,
CAUSE NO ONE KNOWS THE MISERY YOU’RE IN
FROM THE SILENT HALLS OF RUST
TO THE IDOLS TURNED TO DUST
LEAVE YOUR REASON TO YOUR RAGE
FREE THE MONSTER FROM THE CAGE
FROM THE SILENT CALL WITHIN
TO SALVATION FOUND IN SIN
LEAVE YOUR REASON TO YOUR RAGE
FREE THE MONSTER FROM THE CAGE

6. Behind The Lie

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

WRAPPED IN SOLEMN, RECKLESS PRIDE
STUCK IN THE NATION OF SUICIDE
CONSUMED AND HOLLOWED FROM INSIDE
TORN APART AT THE GREAT DIVIDE
STRAIGHT TO THE ABYSS OF DUSK
TO FIND RESEMBLANCE
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO TRUST, BUT ISOLATION
WILL YOU SACRIFICE YOURSELF TO SAVE ME
WILL YOU LET IT GO TO GET BACK
SO MUCH SUBDUED BEHIND THE LIE
WILL YOU SACRIFICE YOURSELF TO SAVE ME
WILL YOU FOLLOW ME THROUGH FIRE
TO NOTHINGNESS BEHIND THE LIE
CONSUME, OBEY AND PROCREATE
A MASS INCLINED TO DEGENERATE
SENSES CEASE TO COMPREHEND
THE INEVITABLE SOUL-DESCEND
STRAIGHT TO THE ABYSS OF DUSK
WITHOUT RESILIENCE
FIND NOTHING LEFT TO TRUST, BUT ISOLATION

7. Hellbound

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

A DEAD MAN’S DAY IN A DEAD MAN’S LIFE
EYES, STARING FROM A HOLLOW MIND
EMOTIONAL FLATLINE, THE END OF THE STRIFE
ALL CAUSE IS LOST
NO MORE, OUR HEARTS ARE BLACK
OUR SOULS CUT FROM THE FLESH
CONSUMED BY HATE
WE’RE FALLING IN DEMISE
DIVIDER,
COME TO SPLIT THIS WORLD APART
COME TO SEPERATE, ERRADICATE
ALL WHAT IS ONE
LORD OF LIES
THE SPEAKER IN THE VOID
IS CHANTING WORDS OF SPITE
ANGELS IN RAGE
AS FIRE FROM THE SKY
BURNING, IN FLAMING ANGUISH
FEEDING FROM OUR HATE
WE BECOME
COMATIC CHAOS UNLEASHED
AS THE ROAD KEEPS WINDING EVERMORE
WE LIVED A LIE
WAITING FOR THE TAKING UNDER
FALLING FROM AN UNFORGIVING SKY
INTO THE VOID
WITH OUR WINGS ALL TORN ASUNDER
WE’RE HELLBOUND
WE ARE HELLBOUND

8. Camp X-Ray

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

EVERY DAY IS BUT A STRIFE IN THE WEST
AS YET ANOTHER MAN IS VICTIM
TO THE CAUSE OF THE QUEST
NO NEED FOR REASON, NO NEED FOR PROOF
GULTY, CASE CLOSED
IN A SELFMADE-TRUTH
THEY’VE TAKEN MY LIFE
AND TORN IT INSIDE OUT
THEY’VE TAKEN MY LIFE
AND LEFT ME HERE TO ROT
LOCKED UP AND STORED AWAY
ANOTHER NICE DAY
DOWN IN CAMP X-RAY
CAUGHT INSIDE WALLS OF GREY
ANOTHER NICE DAY
DOWN IN CAMP X-RAY
AGAIN THE DRUG IS TAKING SIDE-EFFECTS
FEELS LIKE LOOSING CONTROL
AS THEIR GOD WEEPING ON THE CRUCIFIX
I BEG TO SAVE OUR SOULS
SAVE OUR SOULS
EVERY DAY NOW IS A REPEAT OF THE LAST
AS THEY RAISE THE VERY DOUBTS RISEN IN THE PAST
SO STAND DOWN AND LET THE FORCES OF SPITE
PROTECT YOUR KIN
AND PRACTICE WHAT THEY FIGHT

9. Graveheart

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

AS NATIONS FORM THE GREAT DISASTER
AS CHAOS FLOODS THE MIND
ASHES ON THE MORNING AFTER
THE EYELESS GUIDES THE BLIND
TORN BEYOND RECOGNITION
THE BLOODY HAMMER REIGNS
DEATH SQUAD ON THE DAILY MISSION
EVER STRIVE TO FILL THE TRAINS
AND WE
SEE HOW THEY TREAD THEIR WAY
MASSES COME TO RAISE THE MASTER
BLACK SUN IS BURNING ME
ASHES ON THE MORNING AFTER
CAST BODIES DOWN THE GRAVE
MASSES COME TO RAISE THE MASTER
NOT NEW, NOT BRAVE
ASHES ON THE MORNING AFTER
REAP THE ROTTEN SEED NOW
FROM THE FLAMING GROUND
DEEP WITHIN THE BLOODLINE
LET TRUE STRENGTH BE FOUND
INNOCENCE IS NO EXCEPTION
BEING BORN IS NO EXCUSE
RISE FROM IMPERFECTION
CASKET HEARTS
AS NATIONS FORM THE GREAT DISASTER
AS CHAOS FLOODS THE MIND
BURN THE LIVING CARCASS FASTER
VICTIM TO THE GRAVEHEART KIND
TORN BEYOND RECOGNITION
THE BLOODY HAMMER REIGNS
DEATH SQUAD ON THE DAILY MISSION
EVER STRIVE TO FILL THE TRAINS

10. Drowning Stone

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

WAKE UP, ANOTHER DAY IN EXILE
ANOTHER DAY IN HELL
SUFFOCATING IN SOMATIC DISTRESS
STAND UP, AND BE PUSHED DOWN TO GET UP
TO CRAWL UPON YOUR KNEES
THROUGH A SEA OF BLOODY KNIFES
THE LAST CONNECTION FAILED
SENTENCED TO SELFCONFINEMENT
DONE A BITTER TRADE, EMOTIONS FADE
IN DARKEST SHADOW
LIVING LIKE AN OUTCAST DRIFTING IN TIME
STANDING AS LAST WITHIN THE LINE
GRASP THE ONE THING TO BE TRUE
THE STONE THAT DROWNS THE LAST OF YOU
LIVING LIKE AN OUTCAST DRIFTING IN TIME
STANDING AS LAST WITHIN THE LINE
FORGET, WHAT YOU WAS TOLD BE TRUE
LET THIS STONE DROWN THE LAST OF YOU
FEEL THE BURDEN IN YOUR CHEST
CEASE DEFENSE NOW BE AT REST
DARK AND DEEP SHALL BE THY FALL
IN HOPLESS WATERS SILENT CALL

11. Deadline

[music: Nikko, lyrics: David]

NO TIME TO WASTE JUST FACTS TO FACE.
I’LL NEVER GET YOUR POINT OF VIEW!
YOUR EYES BEEN CLOSED BY YOUR RAGE.
DON’T TRUST THE VOICE WITHOUT A FACE.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO CURB YOUR NEEDS?
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE DEVIL’S BREED?
BURIED IN THOUGHTS AND LOST IN GREED.
YOU FOLLOW A LEADER CAN’T RESIST.
DISAPPEAR! WITHOUT A TRACE.
YOUR SOUL DESCENTS INTO DARKEST SHADOW.
UPGRADE YOUR LIFE SURROUNDED BY DEATH.
PASSED BY THE BURDEN WHICH A BLOODLINE CONTAINS.
SET BACK TO RESURRECT COME BACK TO GET RESPECT!
COLLAPSED BELOW THIS PRESSURE.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO CURB YOUR NEEDS?
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE DEVIL’S BREED?
CROSSING THE DEADLINE TASTED THE BLOODWINE!
ANOTHER TIME!
SET BACK TO RESURRECT COME BACK TO GET RESPECT!
COLLAPSED BELOW THIS PRESSURE.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO CURB YOUR NEEDS?
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE DEVIL’S BREED?
CROSSING THE DEADLINE TASTED THE BLOODWINE!
ANOTHER TIME! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ALIVE?

12. Silent Revolution

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

SO WE’VE COME TO THE DIVIDING LINE
AS THE UNWANTED GUEST
DISORDER RISING IN THE GRAND DESIGN
WITH SHEER LIFE PUT TO THE TEST
IF WE COULD BE
THE WAY WE WERE
IN OUR OWN CREATION
SO MANY TIMES
IT’S OURSELVES THAT WE SURRENDER
IF WE COULD BE
THE WAY WE WERE
BEFORE THE GREAT STAGNATION
AS DESPERATE FOOLS
WE WATCH THE SILENT REVOLUTION
SO WE’VE COME TO THE DIVIDING LINE
CONDEMMNED TO RUST AND CORRODE
SWORN TO THE BREAKING OF THE PARADIGM
A SIDEWAY LEFT ON THE ROAD
IF WE COULD BE
THE WAY WE WERE
BEYOND OUR SELF DAMNATION
AS DESPERATE FOOLS
WE WATCH THE SILENT REVOLUTION

13. Insufficient

[music & lyrics: Nikko]

BETRAYED, FALLEN FROM GRACE
AND CAST INTO THE SHADE
DENIED DELIVERANCE
DENIED THE RESTING GRAVE
BOUND TO AN UNSEEN FORCE
ALIFE WITHOUT A CAUSE
UNFORGIVEN, DIM AND BLEAK
THE INSUFFICIENT SHALL SLEEP
AND I’M FADING INTO GREY
I’M FADING INTO NOTHINGNESS
CAN’T I GIVE IT ALL AWAY?
THIS WORTHLESS EXCUSE FOR EXISTENCE
BLIND, EYES OPEN WIDE
A GAZE SO BROKEN FROM INSIDE
ENCASED IN ROTTING FLESH
LOST IN MORPHEUS MIND
SHATTERED THOUGHTS PASSING BY
FRAGMENTS OF A SHATTERED LIFE
NO DIGNITY IN HERE
INSIDE MY SILENT SPHERE
THE FINAL MEMORIES DRIFTING AWAY
INTO THE VOID TO RISE WITHIN
WITH NO HOPE LEFT
AND NOTHING TO SAY AGAIN
