1. House Of Love

Lightning strikes from the skies above
there's another game in the house of love
i was told not to step inside
four walls of deceit, heartache and lies

promises of devotion and of trust
a void to avoid at any cost

show me the way out
in a shadow of a doubt

once again speaking to deaf ears
can you hear me – are you really "there"?
yes i know, it is the same old song
about pathetic battles long since gone

the pressure increased somewhere in my soul
just had to escape to achieve other goals

2. Corroding Armour

My armour is corroding, my skin now burning
fading away, away... i am cursed

it is my damnation
awakened by
nocturnal torment
still haunting me

fresh blood for your gods

this is never ending, an endless tunnel
lost alone, my fate... i am doomed

it is my damnation
awakened by
nocturnal torment
still haunting me

a day will come when i'll return
armed to my teeth, yes you will see...

it is my damnation
awakened by
nocturnal torment
still haunting me

3. Intoxication

Poisoned within to cope with each day
to tell you the truth there's no other way
agoraphobic and paranoid
no longer in charge of my very own soil

nowhere to go, nowhere to run
losing my soul – what have i become?

scared to hell by the world outside
friend or foe from you i can't hide
aware of their prescence lurking in the dark
life as i knew it now torn wide apart

living in terror for "the big parade"
life has turned into this masquerade
shivering, trembling, set me free
from these chains of anxiety

4. The Naked Truth

As you crawl along with the slime
carry a soul as dark as the night
fear to tread the grounds unknown
instead, inside hatred grows

devoured by agony
yearning for clarity

open your eyes, embrace the world
absorb life?s treasures, flee this curse
on a path most winding, narrow and mean
your life has been one long dream

inside your fist there's still a paw
your cold heart soon ready to thaw
fear no more, farewell anxiety
a new dawn breaks for the sake of humanity

5. Crusade

оригинал: Sator Codex

A fallen angel with a loaded gun
Crusader from vengeance found
A king a son of a king
A flame a son of a flame

My only wish my one desire
Is to see my name in fire
I know my had forsake of a wish
A life of what's been fallen to bits

You will remember my name
I'm gonna start a fire
You will remember my face
I'm gonna start a fire

Tomorrow will be yesterday
And you're the one who has to pay
You did some things you will regret
I will forgive but not forget

I'm gonna get you for that
I'm gonna start a fire
You will remember my name
I'm gonna start a fire

I'm gonna get you for that
I'm gonna start a fire
You will remember my name
I'm gonna start a fire

The taste of shame is bitter, sour
And (coalition?) make a fool out of me no more
Oh I really get my kicks
On route 666

You will remember my name
I'm gonna start a fire
I'm gonna get you for this
I'm gonna start a fire

You will remember my face
I'm gonna start a fire
I'm gonna get you for this
I'm gonna start a fire

6. Among The Forlorn

Hey you, so lost and astray
are you the one for me?
once we've shared our sorrows
won't hear from you tomorrow

my grief could soon be yours
or vice versa yes of course
no time for compromise
all dissolving before my eyes

anxious to the bone
out of proportions grown
trembling with fear
what the hell am i doing here???

i found you ripped and torn
among the forlorn
today you had my heart dethroned

so far, so soon it all became
just another dramatic charade
didn't see the signs in time
a veil of passion covered my eyes

found you ripped and torn
while among the forlorn
used to share our sorrows
now there's no tomorrow

7. Atrocious Recoil

Falling deeper into despair
no way out to flee this nightmare
trapped inbetween life and death
if this is the end, well so be it

in my heart all alone
when you turned it into stone
the isolation tears me apart
now when you are gone

split in half, divided i fell
a sign of heaven is a sign of hell
ashes, debris – a spiritual hoax
eating its way down to the bone

in memory of the rising sun
at the break of dawn i wipe off the dust
let us forget, let us forgive
turn the page or burn the last bridge

8. In These Vhese

Reaching for the last boi
on the seven seas of hell
my despair is killing me
life in review, the memories i dwell

demonic lunacy
on the verge of sanity

in these veins...

now just a shadow of myself
raped, windswept by oblivion
the perpetual cycle
in the emptiness i once embraced

remember the times of innocence
flashing by, goodbye – in remebrance

9. Mayfly Euphoria

(бонус)

Overwhelmed oh yes i am, by the blood on your hands
how impressive, how very human
when dignity's being washed down the drain

here to reign supreme
a man-made machine
here to reign beneath
under your skin...

you invade and you violate
you were simply born to kill, not hesitate
engulfed in the euphoria
triggered by the pure hate

to do as you're being told
for each time sell a piece of your soul
no transparency, secrets well kept
all the lies, the things you never said
