SACRIFICIUM LYRICS

1. Canvas

My face the canvas for your vision of me
Happy smiley face, too weak for life itself,
Corrupted - superhuman - hypocrite with a halo
Prisoner and hostage of its own faith

The vision - distorted, not me at all
What you hate and fear, projected on me
Lack of knowledge, lack of mind,
Fearing I'd wipe the clouds from your eyes

I struggle, I fight, I fall, I bleed, but my soul is free
I suffer, I starve, I cry, I die, but my soul is free

Despair, one of my worst enemies
Brave enough to admit, my human weakness
Prison, hostage and their guard I see too
Anxious to see how they trying to get out

My scars are telling the story - I am human
Trying to survive this place - nothing else
Trying to survive this place - but not alone
Trying to hold my feet on the ground
(I am not alone)

I struggle, I fight, I fall, I bleed, by bloody reality
I suffer, I starve, I cry, I die, my soul is free

Smiley face protects me from killing
Fighting the infinite reasons to hate
Trying to survive this place, everyday
Smiling face on the canvas survives

2. Towards The Edge Of Degeneration

Turn of a century
Everything is lost
The commercial breaks before the daily news
Invites "the truth of life" to us

No changes in crowds demand
Two millenniums later
Feeble -- mindness revolts
Keeping a record of bread and games

How dare to from children's mind
To that humanity learns from their mistakes
... a formal defect ...
Believing into our ages standard
Their own ignorant presumption

What is perverted;
A world that's suffering in the daily news
Or a bunch of idiots, watching the quote whores truth ?

No doubt,
Cause these are "soul touching problems"
In our "real" life
In our commercial breaks

3. I Am The Enemy

Bumbing in circles over and over
Sounds paradox, but that's how it is
For I'm spinning in circles and still
I am crushing at corners, my borders,
My pain threshold, at myself
Over and over

I run, still I'm not moving
I breath, still I suffocate
I pray, still I don't expect
I gave my heart, did I?

Crying, but tears ain't flowing
Screaming, silent I remain
Hiding, but still to be seen
Dying like an animal in his cage

Looked up, freezed up, walls that I can't climb up
Crashing against borders that I've been building up
Encircled by the stubbornness, my fake unconsciousness
And if I strip down to my bones, what do I have to see

I am the enemy

So now I am stranded and someone has to pay for this.
Point me someone who's responsible, whom I can blame
Through all this shit the mirror shows, it shows me.

4. Pierced By Death

The dawn of your being
Is coming faster as you thought
It's melting away
It flows through your bleeding eyes
Once a castle, strong and proud
Now crushed to a ruin of fears

Your existence pierced by death
While it consumes your anguish
Your existence pierced by death
While it consumes your pain
Your existence pierced by death
While it consumes your grief

Fearfull eyes -- searching for support
As time goes by ...
Fearfull eyes -- a petition of mercy
As time goes by ...

Your existence pierced by death
While it eat's the joy
Your existence pierced by death
While it eat's the fortune
Your existence pierced by death
While it tears your soul to pieces

Fearfull eyes are screaming to me
As time goes by ...
Fearfull eyes -- a divided soul
As time comes to an end

5. Extinction Of Mankind

No relief, there is no way out
Of our breed, our breed to exist
Our image formed by our conceptions
In the past -- simple origin to wipe out

The ideal mankind, a try that could fail
Cause the extinction of mankind still creeps
...onward! For vast dismembering no rescue
Physical mutations -- a dreadful art

An insane philosophy of a thing that should not be
Genetical changes ... a kind of playing god
To strive the model man, is part of a condemn plan

Extinction of mankind
Overestimation of a dying race
Extinction of mankind
Was written for these who will fail

6. Shivering

Existence pushed to the lowest level
The freedom of spirit the last to remain ....seemingly!
All principles sold, given up, for this state of mind.
The life, for what it is and never should be.

Only a poor, sick brain and myself left to sell.

Take it all, don't try to understand
The rest of what -- the rest of what was good
You won't see, never destroy.

And all around only agreement
To everything that means fun
Arguing only a foreign word.

And I watch the coldness infecting me too.

7. Tremendum

[instrumental]

8. As Silence Dies

Silence from the first sparkle of the sun
Until the rising of the sun's own shadow
All painfull noise just disappeared, faded to nothing
Swallowed by the silence that hides within me
Silence took over the control, for a last try
To search for an escape of the rising abyss.

I fall into something that kills me again
And I silence hide
My hideout, the sacred place of my soul
Now to be gone, now to be killed
Once again my silence rise, then fades and dies
Chained to the killing abyss with no option left

My silence screams, (as) it has been bound
To all the sweet human abyss
that leads into this blackened dream
The blackened dream of pride, hatred and pain
And all what bounds to the abyss you can't escape
as my silence sees the truth, I ignore with human pride

My silence knows that I forgot, (to) return to the place
Where I've been called (by my name)
A call (that) unchains my silence, makes me strong
Where I`m weak,
The antidote to the venom of the night, it eats it all
And even now it would be too late, I let the silence be.

9. Relativation Of Justice

Murderer arrested
Now gas will be wasted
This scum has to be removed
Die! Just for Justice's proof

The fear on your face I see
This is how it has to be
The repentance you proclaim
Very funny - it's your game

Eye for an eye - so you have to die
Eye for an eye - society won't cry
Eye for an eye - tooth for an tooth
You have to die - by our truth

"In God we trust"? At least the dollar does
But dollar times are bound to pass
Who gave you the power to judge alone ?
For my power I have already shown

For the victim's sake it was done
All that scum should be killed young
Obey the laws that have been created
Less gas has to be wasted

My power I have already shown

10. Of Traumatic Memories And Tears

Here I am, empty and sad
My withering life, raped by a mood
Here I crouch with my aimless life
That's only a shadow of the past
Here I am, empty and weak
Lost my beliefs, I don't know why
You violated me, my aimless life is
Only a shadow of the past

You oppressed me, you raped me
You take all the love I've felt in life
You ignored me, betrayed me
And now you want to get rid of me

You slave the innocent
Raping (their) souls into unconsciousness
As if I haven't suffered enough
For all the human race
With all my wounds I will dry
Oceans of innocent blood and tears
Taking all of their burdens
The last victim should have been me

Raped by a disease of a human mood
I closed my eyes to handle the pain
And started to drift into a world
Of traumatic memories and tears

11. Nothing From You

I don't beg for your acceptance
I don't beg for your affection
I don't beg for a silent moment
neither that you walk with me

I don't beg for your aggression
I don't beg for your void truth
I don't beg for a little help
neither that you leave me alone

Like a seed I wish I could
plant a thought into your heart.
That you could see what I saw,
feel what I felt and die how I died.

I don't beg that you die with me
I don't beg that you care about me
I don't beg that you read my mind
neither that you burn your mask

Blood all over me.
Denied, betrayed and slaughtered
for nothing in return.
Nothing you have, nothing that you can bring,
Materialism ends
Nothing you can offer me weights in on my
sacrifice, weights in on the pain that
I've been through.
Nothing.

Like a seed I wish I could
plant a thought into your heart.
That you could see what I saw,
feel what I felt and die how I died.

I don't beg that you die with me
I don't beg that you care about me
I don't beg that you read my mind
neither that you burn your mask

Like a seed I wish I could
plant a thought into your heart.
That you could see what I saw,
feel what I felt and die how I died.
