Capping Day
06:02
|
|||
we have gathered here today
to witness and to celebrate
your dedication by the rite
your deliverance of all ambition
- its just a piece of mind
you act different since that day
doubt and revulsion went away
you deny your former self
like youth was just a foolish dream
somethings never change
we work and pray, we live and lay
labour feeds us well
we thank our masters every day
interlude:
sunbeams pierce the crowns of trees
these ruins, they hold ancient mysteries
some say that vagrants are all mad
and some say that man once was free
break:
pack your things, run away
to the white mountains, this very day
join the resistance, go to war
no more slavery anymore!
it sure will hurt from time to time
to leave the sheltered lifes behind
to stay the course towards the dawn
of mankinds glorious return
somethings never change
some embers will allways remain
the vital spark of defiance
against the rulers of this world

Back from the Grave

black widow bite
venomous kiss- good night
i slept so tight
i slept....so tight
a leap of fate
i woke up in a shallow grave
no time to lose
you made a big mistake
the coffin lid breaks
dirt pours into my face
i must save my breath
i must avenge disgrace
its gonna be alright
only got buried alive
clenched fist arise
i`ll kick some ass tonight
back from the grave
i can smell your fear
since i`m back from the grave
ultra vision in the night
back from the grave
i can smell your fear
since i`m back from the grave
my senses sharpened like a knife
dont know whats worse...
you pay your depths from a dead mans purse
you stole my ride
yeah, you stole my bride
you booze up on my stash
while i lie thirsty in the ground
you didnt feed the spider
what goes around comes around
bonded by blood
you`ve brought shame upon the brotherhood
now you lay down the cut!
it`s already tainted enough
the leader of the pack
tonight i'm comming back
you got me buried alive
i`m killing you tonight
back from the grave
i can smell your fear
since i`m back from the grave
ultra vision in the night
back from the grave
i can smell your fear
since i`m back from the grave
my senses sharpend like a knife

Worship You
04:24
|
|

you came, one misty morning,
into this one-horse town
your hair flies like the raven
you wear a pitch black gown
i stood there in the churchyard
did not know what to do
one look into your blazing eyes
my soul belongs to you
she has come
leaves you overcome
better run
while you can
they call me good for nothing
a long haired swine, oh well
a heathen and a sinner
Im gonna burn in hell
you give my life a purpose
i know now what to do
a headsman in your service
i`ll pave the way for you
run run
we shall overcome
scourge of mankind
let it burn!
forever worship you
sacrifice them all to you
forever worship you
you just point and i execute
you are the queen of this realm
redeeming every witches trials
forever worship you
sacrifice them all to you
forever worship you
you just point and i execute
see their idols burn and shine
every wayside cross and shrine
as they for once appear sublime
before they join the sands of time

Extinct Cults
07:03
|
|||
you say in the beginning
when things were plain and pure
at the bosom of mother nature
in the valleys of the clueless
where joyful rivers flow
under the sun`s benevolent glow
B
sometimes you were the hunter
sometimes you were the prey
everything was in best order
couldn't it stay that way?
the wisdom of the ancient
is lost on us you say
but some things hold up to this day
there will allways be some wise ass
and dimwits to be told
mystical mind fuck a-ok
so lets build a fire
just for old times sake
the circle is closing in on you
the wicker man awaits
....
all things bright and beautiful
all things great and small
you say your lord god made them all
the rich man in his castle
the poor man at his gate
god made them, ordered their estate
lets come together
let us celebrate
2000 years of piss take
who`s burning at the stake?
no hope for a better world in the realm of fantasy
no escape from reality for you and me
when they rape you in the name of christ
yeah, hollidays in jonestown seem quite nice
when they abduct you into ufos
yeah...who knows
no more power to the true and tried
allways leads to genocide
take a good look at the world today
cant you see that chaos reigns
no more kneeling before any god
walk away and quit the cult
tear the scepter from the human claw
nature is the only law
you say your favorite izm
is the only way to be
if only everyone could see
a truncheon in the kisser
is the only thing I see
cos you're at your wit's end again
lets start a fire
all to the barricades
beat the shit out of each other
all hail democracy!
no hopes for a better world in the realm of fantasy
no escape from reality for you and me

Man is Wolf to Man
03:25
|
|

good advice to keep inside
when they roam the streets at night
lost your mind or lost your way
hailed by the beasts of prey
ravenous and dead set on
bloodshed till the crack of dawn
ruthless killers without soul
walk their meals off with a stroll
winter is upon us
darkness is besieging us
with forests bleak and meadows cold
times of hunger are foretold
long forgotten, your old friend
side by side we stalked the land
signs of weakness, desperate needs
nameless cowardice and greed
just join in and howl along:
wilderness, thy kingdom come!
winter is here again
man is wolf to man
please let go of me!
take my cash, be gone!
what does that get you?
what have i done wrong?

The Devil, Probaly
06:53
|
|
||
I woke up this morning
with ruins in my head
still hear the sirens scream:
shit finally hit the fan
the world had come crashing
down on us
i dreamt the end so clearly
i`m never going back (to normal)
outside the bus window
the world looks unreal
business as usual
the turning of the wheel
hundreds of millions of people fear they might come off badly
if they don`t fullfil every desire aroused by the screen
most of them seem to believe nature is intended to serve them
soon will they know where they stand in the grand scheme
people prepare for desaster
waiting for the gears to suspend
the final consumption expenditure
this day and age has come to an end
hundreds of millions of people with hopes and illusions
squeeze themselfs into traffic, go to work in the city every day
they belief that the people in charge try to find a solution
or that the powers that be will let go of the greed and make way, one fine day
people say dont blame the goverment
these short-sighted gluttons in suits
but tell me then, who wields the masses
who`s leading us by the nose
the devil, probably!
(outro)
suddenly its 5 p.m. and again the siren screams
dressed in a boiler suit and i don`t know what it means
c`mon lets go down to the pub and get some medizine
and suddenly i realize, oh, it all was just a dream
hey man, what are you waiting for.hey hey , lets call it a day
lets just deny the facts and look the other way
all worldly terrors are just echoes of my mind
everyone seems reassured and i`ll get another pint
