1. The System Has Failed

Let's Go!
Let me infect your mind with fear
No job, no home
A constant threat of poverty
Doomed to ruin, dying alone

The unknown is your enemy
No peace, no freedom
The lack of security
Beware of the invasion

[Refrain:]
Do not believe in what they pray
False prophets cause anxiety and darkness
Do not believe their lies
Their propaganda's in vain, you fool
The system has failed

Let me fill your head with lies
poisoned food, poisoned air
The future of your children dies
Condemned to despair

Blind – follow your leader
Betrayed by the system of tears
Bleed for the the reign of terror
Enslaved by the system of fear

[Refrain:]
Do not believe in what they pray
False prophets cause anxiety and darkness
Do not believe their lies
Their propaganda's in vain, you fool
The system has failed – The system has failed

Trust in my words, the end of your misery
Trust in my way, I know the solution
I rule over you, control the thoughts in your head
The weaker you are, the stronger I get

[Solo: Gerd Lucking / Oliver Lohmann]

You're blind ... you bleed

[Refrain:]
Do not believe in what they pray
False prophets cause anxiety and darkness
Do not believe their lies
Their propaganda's in vain, you fool

2. A Million Eyes

There are some tiny hairy monsters
Crawling over me, rustles in the corner – oh, no
There are some slimy sleepy creatures
Wriggling up my legs, coiled up under my bed
It's so disgusting

[Bridge:]
In the middle of the night, straight from the hidden places
They're coming out to eat me up alive

[Refrain:]
Go away – watched by a million eyes
You make me sick, go away – scared by a million ...

Some nasty freaks ...
Whirring around my head, greedy for my blood
There are some dirty ugly insects
Creeping up my pillow, scratching in the shadow
Simply disgusting

[Bridge:]
In the middle of the night, straight from the hidden places
They're coming out to eat me up alive

[Refrain:]
Go away – watched by a million eyes
You make me sick, go away – scared by a million eyes
Go away – watched by a million eyes
You make me sick, go away – scared by a million ...

Creeping, crawling on the floor
Slipping, sliding on the walls
Rumbling, scratching on the door
Coming closer, they got me by the balls

[Solo]

There are some grumbling smutty goblins
Rumbling in the dark, banging in the closet
There are some weirdly whispering demons
Slippering in my room, sneaking in a nightmare
It's so disgusting

[Bridge:]
In the middle of the night, straight from the hidden places
They're coming out to eat me up alive

[Refrain:]
Go away – watched by a million eyes
You make me sick, go away – scared by a million eyes
Go away – watched by a million eyes
You make me sick, go away – scared by a million ...

A million eyes

3. Praise Thy Name

Under the burning sky on Jericho Hill
Time is empty, the world stopped moving
The hordes, they're coming nearer
Those who remain, the last of their kind
Remember the face of their fathers

And when Eld's horn is blown for the last time
Hail to the guns, let the bullets fly
Brothers in arms fight the final stand
Come together, "no prisoners"
One after the other, dying in the sand

I raise my gun, let go all my fears,
this thundering sound, the last thing you will ever hear

[Refrain:]
Forlorn – in the face of dawn I stand and I meet all the fellows,
perished on my path
And I shall praise their names

Surrounded by death, last man standing
The blood of the fallen on my hands
Their ghosts, they're haunting my memories
The weight of guilt lays on my shoulders
Forever a part of my story

Blaming faces, hidden in the dust, washed away with every step in trust

[2nd Refrain:]
Forlorn – in the face of dawn I stand and I meet all the fellows,
perished on my path
Forlorn – in the face of death I stand and I see all the fellows, dying on my path
And I shall praise the name of those, who were sacrificed for my aim

[Solo]

Time is empty, the world stopped moving
The hordes, they're coming nearer
Those who remain, the last of their kind
Remember the face of their fathers

Leave all behind, I wander alone, It is done, the world has moved on

[2nd Refrain:]
Forlorn – in the face of dawn I stand and I meet all the fellows,
perished on my path
Forlorn – in the face of death I stand and I see all the fellows, dying on my path
And I shall praise the name of those, who were sacrificed for my aim
And I shall praise the name of those, who were sacrificed for my aim

4. Downfall Of Honesty

Stick your fingers in my eyes and make me blind
Spread your slanders, destroy my creation
I’m the hostage of your vanity
The unknown attraction of your freakshow

[1st Bridge:]
You lock me up, you drag me down in your world of triviality

[Refrain:]
Never worship the master of lies and your kingdom of fools
Never drop my way, no compromise - The downfall of honesty
A raging greed for submission in your theater of fakes

Chain my visions, take the colors off my dreams
I hate your world of manipulation – you sucker
I treat you with my scorn

You lock me up, you drag me down in your world of triviality
I won’t deny myself, I will never fail

Your demons of the past, they rape your mind
And help me breaking through, now I'm free

Deal with the devil, a victim of your arrogance
Stop, stop talking! words without content
Refuse – refuse to live in conformity
And you won't shatter my dignity

[2nd Bridge:]
You lock me up, you drag me down in your world of triviality
I won’t deny myself, I will never fail

Never drop my way, no compromise - The downfall of honesty
A raging greed for submission in your theater of fakes
cynical world of deception - The downfall of honesty

5. Alter Ego

Is this where I belong?
Why don't I feel at ease in my mind?
Am I dreaming now? Or am I just a dream?
Am I captured in the depths of your head?

[Refrain:]
Infinite ways to choose – your ALTER EGO
Views of myself, so hard to number

Everything seems unreal around me
Will I find myself somewhere?
Under a different sky?
There are more worlds than you can see

Dealing with ignorance
A world in collective blindness
No one cares, every scream is in vain
Ignominy Patris

Beloved - betrayed in this house of love
My sheltered dishonour

The circle of violence is broken by just one single word

Alive - stay as long as I say
Save your breath until I'll set you free
Fight the raging war in your veins
Feed my pride, bear your destiny

[Refrain:]
I'm the one who gave life to the world
An artificial hope - depraved salvation
I'm the one who forced death to his knees
A feigned promise - hollow creation

Obey - satisfy my ego
Listen to your masters voice
Chained - put your soul in irons
Left at my mercy, there is no choice

An artificial hope - depraved salvation

A feigned promise - hollow creation

It is accomplished!

Hold your fate in my hands
While the machine starts beating - the rhythm of life

Say "hello" to your father
The final chapter in the book of humanity
'cause I'm one step closer to become God

I'm the one who forced death to his knees
A feigned promise - hollow creation

Petrified beyond life
A heartbeat breaks the silence, rise up through the dark
Don't be afraid, darling, you are safe

I've been floating in an empty space
Banished from reality
God has made his sentence, turn off the machines
My fight is over, it's time to let you go

For my unborn child - a human sacrifice
The dead fight for life
For my unborn child - a human sacrifice
The dead fight for life

Sell my soul for you - inanimate subject

A storm comes up, howling for revenge
How many times did you ignore the agony of her son?
And when the earth awakes ...

With a scream all life turn pale, suffering her last breath
The wild seed vanishes in the dark - silence ...

In rage - a wall of crushing water

Erasing her disease: mankind
And when the earth awakes ...

With a scream all life turn pale, suffering her last breath

The day of reckoning has come, it's your fault

With a scream all life turn pale, suffering her last breath
The wild seed vanishes in the dark
Silence covers the sky

Quoniam venit dies magnus irae ipsorum
Et quis poterit stare

I return on a white horse, my bowl is filled with anger
I return on a red horse, I am your sin

Et vidi de ore draconis
Et de ore bestiae
Et de ore pseudoprophetae
Spiritus tres inmundos in modum ranarum

[Refrain:]
Grey earth, red sea, dead air
And the sparrow sings no more
Black moon, cold sun, dark stars
And the sky is silent

Et septimus effudit fialam suam in aerem
Et exivit vox magna de templo a throno dicens
Factum est

I return on a black horse, my bowl is filled with death
I return on a pale horse, now I am His wrath

[Refrain:]
Grey earth, red sea, dead air
And the sparrow sings no more
Black moon, cold sun, dark stars
And the sky is silent
Grey earth, red sea, dead air
And the sparrow sings no more
Black moon, cold sun, dark stars
And the Guf is empty

"And there shall come a day when the sparrow sings no more
The first infant born without a soul, born dead as a soulless child must be,
Heralds the death of the world and so is called the final sign"
