KATAKLYSM LYRICS

1. Fire

Come… Come to me, everlasting fire
Lift me up and bring me higher power
To kill the tyrants, to kill the born in chaos
Avenge the living with all distinctive force

Come… Come to me, everlasting fire
Engulf my soul, engulf my every desire
To kill the tyrants, to kill the born in chaos
Avenge the dead with all distinctive force

Hear my calling, feel my wrath, like a crow a swarm,
Through the dark I roam, in this castle, the vision of the dead

No justice, no reason
No freedom, no wrath
No truth, no will
Nowhere to run

I summon thee, oh… great fire
To bring eternal devastation

Witness sorrow, waters drenched in black, cities in ruins, angels falling…

Open the gates of hell, crush the enemies below, let your demons flow…
Come… FIRE!

No justice, no reason
No freedom, no wrath
No truth, no will
Nowhere to run

I summon thee, oh… great fire
To bring eternal devastation

Come… come to me, everlasting fire
Lift me up and bring me higher power
To kill the tyrants, to kill the born in chaos
Avenge the living with all distinctive force

Come… Come to me, everlasting fire
Engulf my soul, engulf my every desire
To kill the tyrants, to kill the born in chaos

Avenge the dead with all distinctive force

FIRE!

2. If I Was God - I'd Burn It All

Enter your mind
Enter your soul
Search the seeds of contemplation, this is your life but this is my world
Hence the end of your god
Let the voice of freedom reign again

Fanatic rage that rots core, entitled children above the law
Political ambush to serve the elite, no one is free to believe
Enslaved to profit a world in ruins, distant visions of dying era
Scratching the surface determined to stay alive

No more fucking lies!

If I was god… I’d burn it all I’d take it to the ground and light it up, light up

If you don’t care, why should I? Set this world on fire

All you believe is a world of illusions
All you believe is a lie, nothing is left, nothing is real, engaged and ready to kill

As sentenced to live is as sentenced to die
Search for answers above the skies, this is your life but this is my world
Hence… the end of your god
Let the voice of freedom reign again

No more fucking lies!

If I was god… I’d burn it all, I’d take it to the ground and light it up, light up
If you don’t care, why should I? Set this world on fire

Inch by inch, step by step, with all my heart I’ll burn this fucker down!

3. Like Animals

It lives inside, the seed of life
Ripped apart, silenced
Broken and demolished

Crippled emotions feed existence
Ripped apart, silenced
Broken and demolished

Animals
Just like animals
We live and die
We multiply
The thirst of blood keeps us alive
Just like animals

We live to dominate, we need the urge to kill, we are the victims, we are the prey

You can’t change who you are
Your primitive ways will always prevail
The need to conquer, the need to be incomplete
Rise above the waters, just to drown and suffer, just to feel alive
There’s no escape from life, who we are is endless… until we die again

Just like animals
We live and die
We multiply
The thirst of blood keeps us alive
Just like animals

We live to dominate, we need the urge to kill, we are the victims, we are the prey

You can’t kill who you are
You’re an animal

4. Kill The Elite

The earth is venomous, all shall die under one mind
Their souls are treacherous, crush the weak under one sign
Release your anger, they command under your cries
Obey your master, enslaved to die under red skies

The blind lead the blind, eternal darkness
The poor eat the poor, forevermore
The rich eat it all, they want it all
We are sentenced to fail

Break through the circle of trust that leads to nowhere
There’s no way out of here, the blood they spill is gone forever

Kill the elite
Darkness falls upon us
Kill the elite
We are the light of rebellion

The end of your greed, the end of your control
These chains will break, unleash the beast of humanity
Set me free

Look into these eyes
What you see is real
It’s the last thing you’ll ever see

Kill the elite
Darkness falls upon us
Kill the elite
We are the light of rebellion

5. Under Lawless Skies

Ride the strains of your life into despair
Hide most of your thoughts into a stare
The reason of endless struggle is imperfection
Pressure me, seize my strength, paralyze my soul for you

Lay hopeless like a sheep led to slaughter
Like a wolf I howl under lawless skies

The weight of all of your fears, burns in the air you breathe
The glory of all your past shattered in vein, eternal
Plunge into a sea of madness, I can smell your existence rotting away

Lay hopeless like a sheep led to slaughter
Like a wolf I howl under lawless skies

6. Dead & Buried

Visions of chaos inhabit our lives, no truth in a world of lies
The parallels of sanity, border the insane

Time is endless, pain is faithless
A mirror of broken dreams our souls remembered

Life, death, we’re dead and buried
When all is gone our souls will turn to dust

Six feet below, you’ll find salvation forever
Time is endless, pain is faithless
A mirror of broken dreams our souls remembered

Life, death, we’re dead and buried
When all is gone our souls will turn to dust
Life, death, we’re dead and buried
When all is gone we fade into the sun

Dead and buried

Hold on to nothing, fall in disgrace
There’s no one here, to cradle your fate
We are nothing, but shadows and dust, save me…

Life, death, we’re dead and buried
When all is gone our souls will turn to dust
Life, death, we’re dead and buried
When all is gone we fade into the sun

7. The Darkest Days Of Slumber

Under a shade of darkness I rise
I’ll show you things like you’ve never seen before
I am the reaper of death, I am the savior of man

No, I never wanted for my life to be so meaningless
Hate is so steady, so steady in my veins
This rage just keeps growing inside
It’s getting harder to kill, it’s getting harder to live

Sleep… In the darkest days of slumber
Wait… For the end to come

Pray for all the blood to spill
It’s getting harder to breathe
It’s getting harder to die
Sinners were all the same in the grips of death
You walk on water, I drown in darkness

Sleep… In the darkest days of slumber
Wait… For the end to come

Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride

It’s the way I live

8. Real Blood - Real Scars

From the day I was born nothing was given
I used to bleed just to feel alive
All I wanted was to reach the sky
They tried to kill my soul and bury my mind

There is no god here
These fists are made of blood

It feels like walking through broken glass
Every time I take a step, inside your temple of lies
Rise, rise, rise from all your sickness

This blood is real, these scars run deep, it’s death before dishonor
This blood is real, these scars run deep, it’s death before dishonor

It’s a sign inside us, that shelters emotions, defies oppression

From the day I was born nothing was given
I used to bleed just to feel alive
All I wanted was to reach the sky
They tried to kill my soul and bury my mind

Real blood, real scars, real life

9. The Promise

It’s a world of confusion, everything you see is an illusion
There’s no way to choose right from wrong

Everyone’s opinion is pointless
Everyone’s judgement is useless
Your days are numbered, your faith destruction

I don’t want your poison to linger in my veins
Feel the anger within, from an ocean of hate

It’s a promise in blood, walk away
It’s a promise in blood, promise in blood!

Defy, let the world strike you down
Defy, take a step back, let the world strike you down

It’s a brink of disaster run away, pull the plug and throw it all away
Let it go, puppet master… I am king and you are my slave

I don’t want your poison, to linger in my veins
Feel the anger within, from an ocean of hate

It’s a promise in blood… walk away
It’s a promise in blood… promise in blood!

It’s a promise in blood

10. Empire Of Dirt

Dissecting the shrine, ensuring your rise
Oppressing the masses, unleashing the chaos
Hold it down, vengeance is swift for the dying
They infiltrate the laws, to rage a war of control

Kneel, arrogance, it’s your time to die
In your empire of dirt, behead the king of nothing

Crawl through everything
The symbols of your faith
Betray your very existence
As the innocent bathe in blood, in blood

It’s your time to die
In your empire of dirt, behead the king of nothing

Kneel, arrogance, it’s your time to die
In your empire of dirt, behead the king of nothing

11. Elevate

Shades of black engulf the skies
Death calls all the dead to rise
See the pestilence walk the earth
Hear the screams, covered in darkness
Look down at the world below, entrenched is a sea of sorrow

Come forth, unholy one
As death comes to us all

Elevate

I won’t let you take me away, I won’t let you drag me down, are you here for me?
Because I’m already dead

I’m the lion
I’m the fire
I’m the strength that binds us all
I’m the hope that fears us all

Is this everything you wanted?
Misery from a cold embrace
Shattered dreams of a past erased
Senseless rage of the failures obtained
Breaking point of all the blood you drained
My pain, your savior
As death comes to us all

Elevate

I won’t let you take me away
I won’t let you drag me down, are you here for me?
Because I’m already dead

Elevate me

12. The American Way

[Digipak Bonus Track]
[originally by Sacred Reich]

Truth and honor, faith and pride
All convictions surely died
Honesty's time has passed
Time for lies is here at last

Truth is false, I'm so fed up
How did we come to be so fucked
Hate, fear, pain, death
All our country has got left

Talk to children hear them say
Daddy left again today
Brother steals and mommy lies
Future lost before their eyes

The sun was lost behind the clouds
They rapped it up and blacked it out
Acid rain fell today
It came and washed our hopes away

This was once the land of dreams
Now these dreams have turned to greed
In the midst of all this wealth
The poor are left to help themselves

A capitalist's democracy
Why no one said that freedom's free
Lady liberty rots away
No truth, no justice, the American way

Don't look past your TV
All of us are what you see
A looking glass into our lives
What we watch is what we buy

Priorities are out of whack
Who is next to stab our back
Doesn't it make you mad
To have lost all that we've had

This was once the land of dreams
Now these dreams have turned to greed
In the midst of all this wealth
The poor are left to help themselves

A capitalist's democracy
Why no one said that freedom's free
Lady liberty rots away
No truth, no justice, the American way

Doesn't it fill you with disgust
That there's no one left to trust
Is this happening, is this real
My body numb, I cannot feel

Are you happy? Are you sad?
Are emotions a thing of the past
I have no tears, I cannot cry
No one mourns for a world that's died

This was once the land of dreams
Now these dreams have turned to greed
In the midst of all this wealth
The poor are left to help themselves

A capitalist's democracy
Why no one said that freedom's free
Lady liberty rots away
No truth, no justice, the American way
