Before you swim in the fog
Give the boatsman silver or gold
Anchor yourself in the deep
Feel the water breaking my bones
I’m at the bottom of the ocean
A giant burst from the ground
I’m at the bottom of the ocean
The earth trembles
Descend to the core of the earth
March into hell
Descend to the core of the earth
The gates of Lucifer
I’m at the bottom of the ocean
A giant burst from the ground
I’m at the bottom of the ocean
The earth trembles
Before you swim
I’ll be breaking your bones
Before you drown
Anchor yourself
I am filled with noise
Voices in my head
The hidden hand of chaos
Causing all the pain
Make those past mistakes once again
Cowards will the stay on the shore
There’s no doctor fit for my war
Crash
Crash

Revolt! (single)
04:06
|

Stand your ground against the lies of masters
Stand your ground against the lies of masters
Stand your ground against the scum and fear
The weight to bear the stupidity
Is firing up my hate
Your lack to share some humanity
appears like the devils face
And I would rather go down like a human
Not giving in to fucking scum
I would rather go down alone
Not giving in to fear
The plague is cutting like a razorblade
Segregation, domination
The plague is cutting like a razorblade
No motivation at all
Stand your ground against the lies of masters
Stand your ground against the scum and fear
Beyond the rebel line
I tear down the walls
I feed off hate and doubt
My last chance to fight
Stand your ground against the lies of masters
Stand your ground against the lies of masters
Stand your ground against the scum and fear

Gonna wise up
Gonna wise up
There’s nothing on my screen
Get my mind off, get my mind off of the machine
Gonna wise up
Gonna wise up
There’s nothing on my screen
Get my mind off, get my mind off
The voice of the machine
Mindless living like a modern slave
Phone addiction melting down our brain
All the pointless stuff that I have seen
Dopamine has killed my dreams
Gonna wise up
Gonna wise up
There’s nothing on my screen
Get my mind off, get my mind off of the machine
Gonna wise up
Gonna wise up
There’s nothing on my screen
Get my mind off, get my mind off
The voice of the machine
We live while the whole world seems to die
Enjoying primates wasting their own life
Turn the volume up on my tv
I like the bloody killing spree
We need the temptation to carry on
We live in a world that we all deserve
Don’t worry about the fury of a patient man
Like fools we are waving, waving, waving to a big black balloon
Gonna wise up
Gonna wise up
We need the temptation
Get my mind off, get my mind off of the machine
Gonna wise up
Gonna wise up
Another frustration
Get my mind off, get my mind off of the machine

We’ve destroyed our kind
Warheads falling down
Spread these words of doom
Ignorance and pride
Crown of arrogance
You live to fail
Our evolution ends
Yeah, I’m waiting
Dead daylight
Killing of our hallowed sun
Dead daylight
Can we swallow all our fear?
Dead daylight
Quest for the Black Stone
Dead daylight
Give us knowledge and control
Crown of arrogance
You live to fail
Our evolution ends
Yeah, I’m waiting
Dead daylight
Quest for the Black Stone
Dead daylight
An illusion of control
Crown of arrogance
You live to fail
Our evolution ends
Yeah, I’m waiting (x 2)
Crown of arrogance
You live to fail
Our evolution ends
Yeah, I’m waiting (x 2)
Stay inside ‘till we all go to waste
We are living with too many faces
Take off your mask and just face the lie

I’m scavenging the shadows
Bounty hunting with no code
The restless need some action
“Cause I can’t live without
I’m scavenging the shadows
Nourishing the beast within
A primitive payment
I am claiming
For my bloody entertainment
Chorus
I know you like the beating
A good girl doesn’t make a sound
You’re holding up the ceiling
You put my feet back on the ground
The end has carved its name
Upon my beggars’ hand
Obey the hungry demon
He whispers in my ear
I like the way you die friend
See the raw flesh on the sand
A primitive payment
I am claiming
For my bloody entertainment
Chorus
I know you like the beating
A good girl doesn’t make a sound
You’re holding up the ceiling
You put my feet back on the ground (x 2)
These eyes have no face
They’re gazing at you
Yeah, this head is your house
But you won’t come inside
These eyes have no face
They’re gazing at you
Yeah, this head is your house
A heavy black mind
Chorus
I know you like the beating
A good girl doesn’t make a sound
You’re holding up the ceiling
You put my feet back on the ground
I know you like the beating
A good girl doesn’t make a sound
You’re holding up the ceiling

I’m not drunk
Feel a little shitty
‘Cause I can’t find my connection
Officer
Feel a little dizzy
Won’t you give me some direction
Don’t fuck up when you’re out of town
Keep yourself in line (x 2)
I’m not high
I just feel like talking
And I’m looking for distraction
Officer
Please don’t pull me over
Yeah don’t take my medication
Don’t fuck up when you’re out of town
Keep yourself in line (x 2)
Yeaah
Don’t fuck up when you’re out of town
Keep yourself in line (x 2)
When I’m cruising at the speed of light
And my life is like a rolling dice
See the seven horsemen coming closer
Ain’t nothing holding me down

All your lies are giving me attention
I’m a little overdosed on make-believe
All your lies are giving me attention
It’s time to go
It’s time to go home
Welcome to the butcher
Welcome to the meat market of your mind
Welcome to the butcher
Dealing with the wasteland of life
I’m the voice of violent contradiction
I’m a little overdosed on dreaming
Welcome to the butcher
Welcome to the meat market of your mind
Welcome to the butcher
Dealing with the wasteland of your life
Butcher
Welcome to the butcher
All your lies are giving me attention
I’m a little overdosed on make-believe
All your lies are giving me attention
It’s time to go
It’s time to go home
Welcome to the butcher
Welcome to the meat market of your mind
Welcome to the butcher
Dealing with the wasteland of your life
I can’t sleep ‘till my body’s dead
I can’t sleep ‘till my body’s dead
Victim of your manipulation
I’m a little overdosed on make-believe
Victim of your manipulation
It’s time to go
It’s time to go home
Welcome to the butcher
Welcome to the meat market of your mind
Welcome to the butcher

Drop Dead, Leader

I’m here playing with your mind
Set the world ablaze
Who the hell am I?
Can’t escape from it
What is wrong, is right
Can’t we run from it?
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Do we have to go in there?
It smells like rotten eggs
I play a game instead
Defender of the wall
I’m living in a mental battlefield
I’m living in a world of coal dust and death
Stuck inside my head
Playing with my future
It’s the future of my death
I drill a hole instead
Playing with my future
Failure of our useless leaders
My short-term memory
Walks across
a battlefield
Invaded by demagogues
Fierce on my throat the bloodhounds fly
I’m living in a mental battlefield
I’m living in a world of coal dust and death
Dead...

Vomit

I’m not really into you
You never buy coffee for two
It’s an awkward situation (you’ve never been right, you’ve never been right)
But you don’t seem to understand (you’ve never been right, you’ve never been right)
I light your cigarette
Out in the pouring rain
You fake the darkness on your skin
If I ever meet my maker
I would vomit the whole world
Artificial love
If I ever meet my maker
(If I ever meet him)
I would vomit the whole world
Artificial love
You like to travel to be cool
You always brag about it too
It’s a painful imitation (you’ve never been right, you’ve never been right)
But no one seems to understand (you’ve never been right, you’ve never been right)
I drag your burning bed
Out in the pouring rain
You fake the darkness on your skin
If I ever meet my maker
I would vomit the whole world
Artificial love
Empty faces
Waiting, boring
Timeless stranger
Catwalk away
Still not really into you
If I ever meet my maker
(If I ever meet him)
I would vomit the whole world
Artificial love
If I ever meet my maker
(If I ever meet him)
I would vomit the whole world
Artificial love

Black Wolf

Breaking the seal of redemption
A quest for a higher solution
Only the devil can reason
Condemned to repeat this awful crime
I’ve always known that I was different
This punishment that no one survives
Follow the Black Wolf now
Redeemer of mankind
Follow the Black Wolf now
I am life
Demonic bearer of madness
Deliver me from this weakness
Ancient beliefs of the manic
Invisible to the mortal eye
I’ve always known that I was different
This punishment that no one survives
Follow the Black Wolf now
Redeemer of mankind
Follow the Black Wolf now
Redeemer of mankind
Follow the Black Wolf
Follow the Black Wolf
Follow the Black Wolf
I am life
Hear the battle cries from the hill
Gather round for the day of reckoning
Follow the Black Wolf
Follow the Black Wolf,
Follow the Black Wolf,
Follow the black wolf
Now (x 2)

Sum of all Nightmares

When you’re at work and you lose all motivation
Blame it on the other
And you’re back home and you’re girl starts to point fingers
Blame it on the other
Why on earth is it so difficult to get some sleep?
Blame it on the other
Yeah, nobody really cares for my well-being
Just blame it on the other
Sum of all nightmares
Creatures of hate
I feel so sorry for myself
Sum of all nightmares
Creatures of hate
Misery strikes me right in the face
I’m so fed up with the angry mob pointing the way forward
Blame it on the other
Your opinions spit their needles in my eyes
Blame it on the other
It’s been raining for days and days and days
Blame it on the other
Yeah this goddamn world is just too much for me
Blame it on the other
Sum of all nightmares
Creatures of hate
I feel so sorry for myself
Sum of all nightmares
Creatures of hate
Misery strikes me right in the face
Sum of all nightmares
I’m all mixed up, don’t tell me to stop
I’m all mixed up, don’t tell me to stop
I’m all messed up, don’t tell me to stop
I don’t know what I want
I know what I want
Can anybody help me?
Anybody help me!
Can anybody help me?
Right in the face
I’m so fed up with the angry mob pointing the way forward
