1. Tyrannicide (Article 114)

The fire that burns in my mind will never rest
I know the tyrant must die at all costs

Chained on a wall
And this will be my home for days to come
Years come and go
And though my body is sore, my will shall carry on

Oh no, they're coming again
Bringing hate, bringing pain
They're crushing my flesh and bones
Oh no, they're coming again
Every night it's the same
My arms are in chains

Cowards, evil minds and fools surround me now
Sentenced to face the firing squad, but still I breath

Chained on a wall
And this will be my home for days to come
Years come and go
And though my body is sore, my will shall carry on

Oh no, they're coming again
Bringing hate, bringing pain
They're crushing my flesh and bones
Oh no, they're coming again
Every night it's the same
My arms are in chains, I'm going insane

Show me a path to run away
Leave behind the walls of grey
I've always climbed an upward slope
I've always walked on a path of distant hope

Hope is to never drown
Hope is to never bow

Kill the tyrant and strike him down
For he's to blame for the darkness
Kill the tyrant and take his crown
For he is to blame for the darkness
Around these sacred grounds
Around this tortured ground

In my mind I know there's just one hope – Tyrannicide
In my heart I know one way to go – Tyrannicide

Now come and claim my glory from my cold paradise
Now read and cherish my story, lose your fear to die
Now come and claim my glory from my cold paradise
Now read and cherish my story
One word: Tyrannicide

2. Evil Monkey

There is a corner in every room
A black hole in every mind
And when pain and fear kick in
She takes me there and i run and hide

I tried to fight her, i tried to run away
I tried pretending, that everything's ok
But she possessed me, she took my soul
And now there's only one place left to go

There's an evil, evil monkey
Hiding in the closed
Evil, evil monkey
She's gonna get you now
You're on your own

No one believes it but still she's there
Her fingers point between my eyes
And then she gives me the looks of death
She knows i go nowhere to hide...

I tried to fight her, i tried to run away
I tried pretending, that everything's OK
But she possessed me, she took my soul
And now there's only one place left to go

There's an evil, evil monkey
Hiding in the closed
Evil, evil monkey
She's gonna get you now
You're on your own

3. The Wisest Of Designs

The sweetest things are always crawling up on you
Just to fuck you up when you have no clue
The cutest things are kept in memory like gold
Just to fuck you up when you have no hold

I never kept in mind. My mind
I always knew the truth. I lied
For life
For you

Said for a while, felt for too long
Don't ask what I dreamed

And it explodes in a great manifestation of pain
In the most realistic visual scale
And it explodes in a great manifestation of pain
In the most masochistic obvious way

The clearest things are always those that hurt the most
It's a wise design, a way to keep you off
The finest things are always there to shove you down
Fresh scent of death, roses and lavender

I always kept in mind. The scent
I always knew the truth. I lied
For you
For her

Felt for a while, said for too long
Don't ask what I dreamed

And it explodes in a great manifestation of pain
In the most realistic visual scale
And it explodes in a great manifestation of pain
In the most masochistic obvious way

4. Marathon

Silence fell across the oceans
Ships from Persia touched the shores
Burnt and plundered Eretrian lands
Heading now for the northern coast

Summon the men, inform our allies, lead the city-states to war
Time has come for the citizens' vote show of hands in the assembly's floor
No more talk and indecision, time to march the phalanx forth
No turning back, as the city has voted for war

War on our shore
Hope in the sword
This war scares us all
Call for the phalanx to reach the shore

Now again marching to the end, tired, sore and outnumbered
Nine thousand men, fight to the death, fight to the bitter end

Evil spread across the land
Sparta failed to march for war
Cowardice has stained her city
Alone we'll face the barbarian foe

Get the shields and shining armor, let the Goddess guide our sword
Let the pain feed our anger, lead the men to a merciless war
Leave behind our city and home, let Miltiades engage the foe
No turning back, as the city has voted for war

War on our shore
Hope in the sword
This war scares us all
Call for the phalanx to reach the shore

Now again marching to the end, tired, sore and outnumbered
Nine thousand men, fight to the death, fight to the bitter end

Goddess, we'll fight forevermore
March to the other world
Into the the darkness and death
Goddess, we'll fight forevermore
March to the other world
Into the shadows of death

Goddess, is your desire to forfeit your might?
Goddess, shed your light for us
For we pledge to fight

Hades open wide the doors, phalanx marches to the shore
Carry on forevermore, fight 'Till the battle's won
Write the story of the sword, crush their will to carry on
Scatter bodies on the shore, blood, legions, battles, war

5. The Less You Speak

Sometimes when I lie
all alone in my room
And I start to wonder
Past times which are filed
and stored on my mind
For me to ponder

I start to loosen the noose
'round my neck and I think of you
I dump my coat and unbutton my shirt
Grab a glass of scotch and ice

Hear me, this one and only time. Heal me, be this your only crime
In this silence I thought I'd stay and hide, I saw you smile and I just crept inside
Can't shake this thought off, can't take this thought off
That you had never seen

That all I said, yeah all I said were just a fraction full of dread of all that I felt

Feels like my mind is all I have left
Smells like your and clothes and sweat on my bed
Can't you see it all so clear?
The less you speak, the more I hear

Give up this prudent quiet stance
Speak up, if not to leave your mark
Then to near me say I already know
That I do not regret I implore for more
I'd open all my cards and I would dare to ask
I know you rarely grant it but yet I'd want your trust

Cause all I said, yeah all I said
Were just a fraction full of dread of all that I felt

Hear me, can't you hear me calling?
Feel me and I'll feel you too
Hear me, hear me sigh
Scared of the thousand lakes, between me and you

6. Way Out

Love's turned to pointless anger & I inside feel like frost
There's ways out of this, there's ways out of anything
There's ways out of life, ways out of pain

Ways out of poverty, ways out of love
Ways out of anything, but would you care
To choose just one?

It dies inside, and then it comes alive
Like if this was day one
It dies inside, and then there's sometimes
I feel it should stay dead

Please someone evict her parasite, or numb me
Please someone clean me up inside, nurse me

I remember the calm, and I wish I was there
I remember the words, I remember the tune

A lifespan reduced, an urge as strong as life itself
A lifespan reduced to hopelessness
An urge as strong as life itself

Constant evershadowed,
What we miss is what we need and we never get it all

7. Where I Was

She called and it was pain, Pain like I've never felt
Blood like I've never missed, I know it shows, it feels so dark

I pick the pieces up, they slip like I've no hands
They move like they're alive, It seems they want to stay apart

I'm the fly on your wall, I'm the same as before
I'm the sickness that carries you on, I'm the sky, I'm the rain
I am loss, I am gain, I'm the sickness that carries you on

Murder – Show me a fragment of your mastery
Leave me – Where I was plus an apology

This is the day she's warm, she knows I won't complain
She knows I'm opened up.

They will not really heal, cause days are on the move. Cause days are all alike.

I'm the fly on your wall, I'm the same as before
I'm the sickness that carries you on, I'm the sky and the rain
I am loss, I am pain, I'm the sickness that carries you on

Murder – Show me a fragment of your mastery
Leave me – Where I was plus an apology

Leave me!

8. Campaign 275

Hide in the silence and make no sound
Tracing the enemy, their footsteps all around
As night fades away the hour will come
The first light of day, our signal to attack!

Hammer their western flank, under machine gun fire
Sneak past the enemy lines, a new form of warfare

Pledge allegiance to the crimson flag
Final fight to unite the fatherland
Force the enemy to break and run
The judgement hour has come

Lying in silence across the riverside
Wait for their move, outflank them and strike
As night fades away our hour will come
We'll never betray our comrades, in arms

Hammer their western flank, under machine gun fire
Breaking the enemy lines, Guerilla warfare

Pledge allegiance to the crimson flag
Final fight to unite the fatherland
Force the enemy to break and run
The judgement hour has come

9. Tiny Wave

Came up with something new to cover my acts
I think I want it, cause I'm over you now
I saw the past and it sometimes looked fine
Except for these little cracks wherein I could see the sky

Fire and a basket of limbs
Fire and some blood on your bed

What I meant was always of my nature and nothing else
I am what I was made to be

It's not me, It's not us
It's just this version of life I need to feed upon
Got me, crack me, Another person I hate

Came on to you and murdered your dreams
I think I won it, cause you hurt me somehow
I saw your world and it never looked real
Except for these small hours i spent inside you

Fire and a basket of flowers
Fire and the blood of the saints

It's not me, It's not us
It's just this version of life I need to feed upon
Got me, crack me, Another person I hate
Another number to call

And your wall is always there
In absence of warmth
Cold and wet
Your wall is always there

And your wall yearns for life
Life teaches doors and locks
Won't keep you out

Again she's back and I'm hypnotized
Again she's back and I'm open to lies
