MERCENARY LYRICS

1. Through The Eyes Of The Devil

Let's go

I am disorder, reign the night
I'm spreading terror
Death by my side
I face the never
Clothed in leather

I will never turn my face
And face dishonour
You will never
Put me in the fucking corner

In despair, the fallen sinners
Bow their heads and await their death
Do you see me?
See me now

[Chorus:]
Never ends, you will make amends
The sins of your father are yours now
To repay, through endless days
I'll hurt you in endless ways

I am the pain
I am the needles in your spine
And through my endless torture
My existence is divine
Cut yourself, and you will see it's not a dream
My existence, pure and evil
This is me

In dismay, the broken sinners
Upon their cross
Their life is lost
Do you see me?
See me now

Feel now, the silence filling you
Bleed now, as the needle punches through

It never ends

[Repeat Chorus]

2. The Follower

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Blood won't stain this house tonight
Fire burns, the heat makes me sick again
Hatred and flames, I fall so hard

[Chorus:]
Follow me now
Into the flame
Follow your heart
Into damnation

Eyes so blind look inside
Never see the truth in me
See the lines on my face
A dirty secret of the human race

I am the Follower
Oh, yeah
I am the Follower

[Repeat Chorus]

Cold, on your own
Facing the signs
All alone

Now I see the possibilities are mine

[Repeat Chorus]

3. In A River Of Madness

Enough, can't take it
Is there ever an end for me?
Once sane, driven to madness
Once alive, now so numb

Your voice like nails upon blackboards
The way you scream at me

Was there ever a time I loved you?
Was there ever a time without hate?
No ...

[Chorus:]
Ever bound through hatred
Stuck with you for life
Try to take my honour
And I will take your life

So lost in rivers of madness
No light to guide me ashore

How can we survive
In these hateful times

[Repeat Chorus]

Ever bound through torture
Ever bound through hate

My failed deceit
Burns lies you feed
The sorrow hidden inside you mind
Fragments of hatred
The sin, the betrayal
The love, the denial

Going insane
Insane
Going insane

[Repeat Chorus]

Ever bound through torture
Ever bound through hate

4. Memoria

Father, listen
Someone is calling your name
Find me, help me
Things were just never the same

All of the sorrow you left me
How can I fight it away

[Chorus:]
In the silence
Shadows are flickering
In the darkness
My salvation
Beyond this nightmare
Left in sorrow

The sorrow of death
With us it stays
The memory stays

Mother, hold me
Promise you'll never let go
As I'm older life seems so faded to me

All of the moments
Times we can never get back
Seize every moment together
Before it will all fade to black

[Repeat Chorus]

In the darkness
In the silence

[Repeat Chorus]

In the darkness
In the silence
My salvation
Left in sorrow

5. Velvet Lies

The water is so still
In this flood tonight
Pale moonlight shapes your velvet lies
You turn your face away
Won't even look at me
Echo the silence, you wash away

[Chorus:]
This neglect buries me in shame
Blood red colors spell your name
All the pain running through my veins
Slowly, as I go insane

Fragment of a life turning inside out
Pale moonlight in your dark grey eyes
Fading into lies, as you end this night
Echo of laughter, you wash away

[Repeat Chorus]

Velvet eyes
All the lies inside

This neglect buries me in shame

[Repeat Chorus]

6. In Bloodred Shades

Are we meant to live alone
Inside a torn and broken home
No one to hate besides yourself
True human nature
Lights are fading
The whisper of a voice
So low

The silence will haunt you
Now

[Chorus:]
With flames all the pain we erase
From ashes a new dawn awakes
In blood red shades
Humanity is made
Together we choose our own fate

[Postchorus:]
Let the roses fall
Stand aligned
Let them fall
Alone

Piercing sounds fill the cold
Sending shivers through our souls
Inside the dark we shall awake
Again
Lives are fading
The echoes of their screams unfold

The silence will haunt you
Again

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Postchorus]

See the signs on the wall
Take your time to see the signs

We let them, we let them fall
We let them fall again

[Repeat Chorus]

7. Shades Of Grey

Lost in the frustrations
Pale faces pass me by
Eyes too blind to see them
See no future, all is left behind
I will fail
Cut the life out from me, I
'Cause I can't take it
It's lost forever

[Chorus:]
I'll never be the same
I hide away the shame
I'm gonna be the one you hate
And I will fight away the shame

Lust of your damnation
Waiting for the final high
Pray for your salvation
Waiting as your life will pass you by
You will fail
Cut the life out from you now
You can't fake it
It's lost forever

[Repeat Chorus]

I'll never be the same
I'll hide away the shame

Life never let me go
I want to see it all
Forget your past mistakes
And let yourself awake
From the beauty of a single rose
To the night's clear sky
Don't let is pass you by
Take it all inside

[Repeat Chorus]

8. On The Edge Of Sanity

Self inflicted torture
Wrap myself in pain
Never take a second to think
Of the people I have shamed
Fight to fake emotions
To make me seem alive
But the endless emptiness
Keeps growing deep inside

I can't take this
I can't face this
Life

[Chorus:]
Oh, where is the enemy
Where is the end for me
This is not what I wanted
Oh, every day that I am facing
I feel less alive
One step away from my demise

Never felt pleasure
Never felt content
Every step I take
I'm facing my decent
With blood on my fists
And death in my eyes
Breath thick of liquor
God please let me die

Please let me
Please let me die

I can't take this
I can't face this life

I can't take this
I can't face this life

Are you fucking ready?

[Repeat Chorus]

9. The Black Brigade

I fight the bullets sinking in
With a fire in my heart
Because I'll make you eat your words
Again

Oh yes, I feel it's necessary baby
I will never bite the bullets just for you
See my face, they'll never turn it away
'Cause I will be there till it's through
'Cause I believe in you

[Chorus 1:]
See us rise
Again from the Ashes
Take control
Now the days are turning back
Now the lights are fading
Join the black brigade
And march forever

We take the power back
With a fire in our hearts
We make you see the truth
What's real
In time the path will show
The true redemption
The meaning of it all

Oh yes, we feel it's necessary baby
We will never bite the bullets just for you
See our faces, never turned them away
We will be there till it's through
'Cause we believe in you

[Chorus 2:]
See us rise
Again from the Ashes
Take control
Now the days are black
Now the lights are faded
Join the black brigade
And march

Listen to their voices
Never will they fail
Listen to their choices
Never will they fail

As I whisper, the lights will fade
I can hear them calling me
I hide away from what they say
I hide the shame away from me
Away, away
You hide the shame from me
Away, away
You hide the shame from me

Oh yes, I feel more necessary baby
I'll never bite the bullets just for you
See my face, I'll never turn it away
I will be there till it's through
Because I believe in you

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Join the black brigade
And march forever

10. Incorporate Your Demons

[North American bonus track]

Like a knife through my skin
Please let the pain begin
Making art from my scars
Pain, ink, and blood unite

I need to feel the pain
To make my strength regain

As we all search for control
To be unique, each our own
Colored flesh for my sins

[Chorus:]
The fire burning
Piercing through my skin
Incorporate your demons
Share your deepest fear
Don't be afraid
Through ink and blood your fear shall erase

The Burning Pain
Color our sins away
For all our sins to repay

The new millennium breed
We all will spread the disease
The fire burns in our hearts
Reflects the light on the scars

[Repeat chorus]

Fight the pleasure
To reinvent
Forever craving the pain again
New art in black and grey
To make my strength regain

The fire burning
Its piercing through our skin
Share your deepest fear
Don't be afraid
Incorporate the lies you have within.
