SYBREED LYRICS

1. Nomenklatura

It's all around
A solid wall of lies
Designed on massive scales
Still, we endure and tolerate

Because we know we cannot stop the fall
Because we know it's getting worst day after day

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

We are destined
To be expendable products
To emulate cheap happiness
Like zealots, we imitate

We do our part
Secluded in vain deceptions
But soon glory fades
And there is nothing left but suffering

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within
Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

Our god is dead
Since we have been proclaimed divine
We have become but empty shells
No faith could feed or sustain us

We drift from place to place
Sunken in miserable dreams
We feel no love, we feel no hate
Then face the heart of destruction

Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within
Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within

2. A.E.O.N.

I am the hollow face who controls vile delusion
and bends the souls of men
A kind and gentle voice to lure the Great Unwashed
All hail the age of sin

Like every traitor and willing pawns, I believe in my own lies
My exhortations, the words I preach are but systematic shifts

I am a fiction but in your heads
I only exist to entertain, to prevent masses to awake
Ignorance shall prevail

To lead and to fulfill the plebeians' desires, to corrupt and subvert
I need but to despise the very substance of truth
And define what is right

Like every traitor and willing pawns, I believe in my own lies
My exhortations, the words I preach are but systematic shifts

I am a fiction but in your heads
I only exist to entertain, to prevent masses to awake
Ignorance shall prevail

Like every traitor, I believe in my own lies
The words I preach are but systematic shifts

And you shall move on my very commands
Your shattered will is such a delight for me

Like every traitor and willing pawns, I believe in my own lies
My exhortations, the words I preach are but systematic shifts

I am a fiction but in your heads
I only exist to entertain, to prevent masses to awake
Ignorance shall prevail

3. Doomsday Party

Doomsday party is starting out

Silhouettes flicking in dead lights
Ten thousand degrees Fahrenheit
We burst in solid centigrade
Heat transfer amplified

Kinetic figures all around
Dangerous girls in overdrive
Blood pressure widening our eyes
Ecstatic, polarized

Watch now, the sun i s fading away
And still the skyline is glowing in bright white
Let's drown in such an assembly
Let's yell until it all turn to black
(Doomsday party is starting out)

Testing endurance to defy the low performance
We deny all body failure, aiming high
Our breath intensified

And this is how we realize the tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly lived
And this is how we realize the tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly lived

We stop all motion for a while and bleed just to feel alive
Like a wave submerging us, we fall and shiver,
The welkin starts to ignite
And we know it won't last forever, it's nothing but a lie
A frail substitute for joy
Still, we want to define the line where life and death unite
Where night and day intertwine

We love and hate on fast forward
The momentum is getting wrong
Adrenaline is gasoline
The taste of dust is getting strong

Watch now, the sun is fa ding away
And still the skyline is glowing in bright white
Let's drown in such an assembly
Let's yell until it all turn to black
(Doomsday party is starting out)

And this is how we realize the tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly lived
And this is how we realize the tragic prize of wasting time
It doesn't make sense if we die
And we'll know in the end if we truly live

4. Human Black Box

I used to struggle to change it all
To get rid of my misery
I used to believe it should be easy
To end all suffering

It always looks the same:
A ghastly place for pigs and mundane depravity
We support blasphemy and bless hypocrisy
To finally vote for destruction

Empires keep on falling
No one can stop
The earth to keep on turning by the way
No need to try to fight it
Just wait and see
The virtuous liars won't forever win

I ran full circle then realized
It was much better to take a seat
And watch this gruesome tragedy
With all its torment freaks

It always looks the same:
A ghastly place for pigs and mundane depravity
We support blasphemy and bless hypocrisy
To finally vote for destruction

Empires keep on falling
No one can stop
The earth to keep on turning by the way
No need to try to fight it
Just wait and see
The virtuous liars won't forever win

No matter our will-power or might
We have no mean to define the very course of fate
It's nothing but delusion:
No one can change what lies inside
No one can purge
The wrong side of mankind

We support blasphemy and bless hypocrisy
To finally vote for destruction

Empires keep on falling
No one can stop
The earth to keep on turning by the way
No need to try to fight it
Just wait and see
The virtuous liars are destined to die as well
Here lies the fairness of this life

5. KillJoy

All what you stand for
This secure fortress of faithful convictions
Inspire me to disbelief
So full of yourself, you stare at me and say:

"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake
Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"

You know what's right or wrong
Jumping to conclusions, so likely to condemn
And take a single wise word for eternal truth
That's why you'll always say:

"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake
Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"

I just look for something you'll never grasp
A world neither black nor white, a wider definition
For nothing is downright pure or completely dark
Like myriads of variations for every shade of grey

Once I question your dual pattern
You can but whisper,
"Don't challenge me because I am the righteous one"
And try to conceal your confusion
You wish I'd walk away
So that your small, manicheist world would always stay the same

Your second-rate creed is such a dismay

"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake
Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"

6. I Am Ultraviolence

I want to crush this world
Drenched in blood I'll rejoice
I'm prone to destroy all what is standing in my way
For I could confront the Creator itself

I'm not here to give in charity
When hate is such a delicacy
I can't help thinking with a grin
Of your spine smashed under my feet

Why on earth should I restrain my inborn violence?
When I see them all looking for absurd excuses
To murder and slay, longing for senseless massacres
I won't try to hide such a radiant foolishness

I want to crush this world
Drenched in blood I'll rejoice
I'm prone to destroy all what is standing in my way
For I could confront the Creator itself

Why should I engage in this masquerade?
I don't wish to fuck around
And accept to face the worst of myself
Yes, I am Ultraviolence

7. Electronegative

From the very beginning, I felt I couldn't live this way
To debase myself for the sake of your society
I blame your vain deceits for I see the plain hypocrisy
Of concealing my thoughts to gain security

I wasn't born into this world to endure your failures and faults
When life is bu t once given
I'd rather stand here on my own for I don't wish to trade my soul
I loathe this deficient civilization

When saints are just dead sinners amended and revised
No wonder why greed and humiliation
Become the norms to bound and regulate humankind
We welcome the reign of consternation

Hey, look at yourselves, crawling in filth and blatant lies
Still fooling yourselves, you run away until you die

I remain dazed and speechless in front of such inanity
Is it mere wishful thinking to ask for rationality?
To rate by proxy judgements, to never doubt authority
It doesn't sound like freewill but calculated slavery

Just as diamond and coal are made of similar matter
It is easy to confuse a swine in business suit from a man
Feels like I am the sole survivor of a vanished nation
Which knew that truth lays in this place no one dares to explore

When saints are just dead sinners amended and revised
No wonder why greed and humiliation
Become the norms to bound and regulate humankind
We welcome the reign of consternation

Lays in this place no one dares to explore

8. In The Cold Light

I just close my eyes, and wait until the very end
To face this dreadful day
Hiding in this room and submerged by the glowing dawn
I can feel but regrets

I wish I could change it all, all the mistakes I've made
But I can't just forget the bitter taste of shame
I wish I were strong enough to deaden all the pain
Yet I can but descend and consume in despair

In the cold light
In the cold light of the day
In the cold light
In the cold light of the day every joy's turned to letdown

In the cold light
In the cold light
In the cold light of the day

9. Lucifer Effect

Disillusioned yet fascinated
With bitter cruelty you deny the sanctity of flesh
Urging me to destroy
You say it's not a question of trust, the strongest don't lie
No matter if I have to bleed my own kind, it's all right

Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My heart is frozen
Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My wings are burning down

Oh doppelganger, I hear you in my head whispering
"What a joke! Their so-called faith and beliefs are but filth
Give up all tolerance
They loath lust and depravity but ignore their own sins
When zeitgeist extols raw pandemonium
Bring them hell"

Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My heart is frozen
Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My wings are burning down

"Prepare yourself to be deceived
By those you entrust your very dreams or darkest fears
To be double crossed"

There is no place for hope in your world
You love to deride my sustained endeavour to find a way
To stand still

Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My heart is frozen
Like Lucifer rising from the ashes of grace
The downfall of the sun
My wings are burning down

10. Love Like Blood

[Killing Joke Cover]

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
But life is short I'm running faster all the time
Strength and beauty destined to decay
So cut the rose in full bloom

'til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

Everyday through all frustration and despair
Love and hate fight with burning hearts
'til legends live and man is god again
(and self-preservation rules the day no more)

We must dream of promised lands and fields
That never fade in season
As we move towards no end we learn to die
Red tears are shed on grey

11. Meridian A.D.

We believe to be eternal until we face the point of no return
All state of grace is transient
All shall die and turn to ashes and dust
Desacralized, desensitized
We chasing the light just wishing to live a little more
It's like a hole inside our chest
A clear cut bleeding, always open wide

To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears
Heavens still remain out of sight wherever we watch
To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears
We shine to finally dissolve in oblivion and be absolved through death

We've looked for strength through joy
Deprivation is all what we get
We've kept on trying to reach the stars
And deny mortality

We rise to better fall, condemned to rust and crumble for centuries
To behold the leftovers of our dreams now turn to smoking ruins

We ride the whirlwind of doom
A gigantic storm
Of cataclysmic and catastrophic proportions

It's like a hole inside our chest
A clear cut bleeding, always open wide

To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears
Heavens still remain out of sight wherever we watch
To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears
We shine to finally dissolve in oblivion and be absolved through death

Death

12. From Zero To Nothing

Day after day, recurring self-acting gestures
I can but feel this repetition and stand benumbed
I cannot run away
My existence in dissolution
How could I break this steady cycle to rise instead into light again

I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be

When there is no way out
All just become insignificant
I can't breath
I can't sleep
Am I dead
No more faith
No more hopes
No more dreams

I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort i t out
But nothing ever changes
I'm wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be

13. Flesh Doll For Sale

[Japanese edition bonus track]

Your skin is such a perfect lie
I never get enough
Of your sweet, deceptive delight
It burns me like a wound

I know you re never truly here
No matter what I see
Your voice is nothing but a dirge
Celebrating downfall and sin

Stunned and cold, whether I hate or adore
Your glorious body, I can t escape from lust and vanity
Crimson doll delivering plastic love
Giving mercy killing
Please consume me with your kiss
Don t set me free

You re like a frozen shade of black
I couldn't tear apart
Helpless, I want to ruin you
To penetrate you deep inside

[Repeat second verse and chorus]

Sometimes I try to break loose from you
To slip out of your grasp
But pure devotion to flesh and pain
Is a lasting poison

I know I cannot run away from you
I keep drowning inside your eyes
I hope I ll never find a way to cure
My jaded heart from your scarlet smile

Your fragrance is all but innocent
I can t defy your cruel yet erotic touch

[Repeat chorus]
