ASYLUM

Release me

No remnants were ever found of it

Dealing the heart bile
With every fake smile
Though no evidence was ever found
It never went away completely
I tried to welcome
The unholy sound of it
Another day gone
Another night’s drawn
Dark forces pull me underground
They never went away completely

How can i feel this empty?

I will not recover this time…
This loneliness is killing me!

Will I never know a peace of mind again?

I don’t believe it, I can’t achieve it
I think you know it’s just another sign that never went away completely

Terror is coursing in me
Dreading the final moments, when I have to breathe
And feel you die!

In asylum!
I live a lie
Don’t you know I’m in love with you
And I wasn’t ready!
For asylum!
We live a lie
To let go, now it’s dragging me into your grave
Your asylum!
Forget the lie
I'm overcome
By the feeling that I won't get to join you in time,
And the loneliness is killing me!
RAH

Dead images are all around again

They’re right behind me, they’re gonna find me
Judgment from the immortal sin
That had enveloped me completely, RAH
I know I’ll never know a peaceful night again
Afraid they’ll hear me, they don’t fear me
Punishment for the immoral crime
The debt was never payed completely

Terror is coursing in me
Dreading the final moments, when I have to breathe
And feel you die!

In asylum!
I live a lie
Don’t you know I’m in love with you
And I wasn’t ready!
For asylum!
We live a lie
To let go, now it’s dragging me into your grave
Your asylum!
Forgive the lie
Overcome
By the feeling that I won't get to join you in time,
But the loneliness is killing me!
RAH

In the end it will be your suffering (more suffering)

In the end you will find out everything (not anything)
In the end you may question your belief (what belief)
In the end you will realize finally how you are saved
This has gone on too long (too long)
No more demonic dreams
Destroyer, come to light
Because the memory is killing me

In asylum!
I live a lie
I let go, now it’s dragging me into your grave
Your asylum!
We live a lie
Overcome
By the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
This world is not fulfilling me

Don’t want to live in asylum

I'll live a lie
Don’t want to live in asylum
I'll live a lie
Don’t want to live in asylum
I'll live a lie

THE INFECTION

in the back of my mind i can

barely even remember when
there was nothing left to hide and
she has found a way inside, then
i was forced to walk alone
living in an empty home
all i wanted was to hide and
try to numb the ache inside
and im still afraid of the light
and a thousand voices share their laughter at my demise

now if i am to survive
the infection must die
murder the beast that's been eating me alive
the infection must die

nothing left but a broken man

terrified of everything
nothing left of his foolish pride, his
fond memories slowly die, then
as he wakes again alone
still a prisoner in his home
ready to allow the dark to
penetrate his broken heart
and im still afraid of the light
and a thousand voices share their laughter at my demise

this is where i draw the line

the infection must die
give me release from this demon of mine
the infection must die

WARRIOR

I am now, an instrument of violence

I am a vessel of invincibility
I cannot leave this undecided
Stepping down to battle another day
Remember me for all time this
Determination is a vital part of me
Surrender now or be counted
With the endless masses that I will defeat

Come on bring it
Don't sing it
Better believe it
Broken down till your hope has died
Beat down till victory's mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now, are you ready?

Chorus:

I'm the one with the warrior inside

My dominance can't be denied
Your entire world will turn
Into a battlefield tonight
As I look upon you, through the warrior's eyes now
I can see the fear
That will ensure my victory this time

I can't be told to compromise this

They'll never doubt the body lying at my feet
A most formidable reminder
They will speak my name for eternity
I have no need of any guidance
I am a weapon, powerful beyond belief
Seen through the warrior's eyes, I
Never need to question, how to defeat you

Come on bring it
Don't sing it
Better believe it
Broken down till your hope has died
Beat down. Till victory's mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now, are you ready?

You can't hide now

I am the warrior
So decide now
How they'll remember you
Do not hide now
Act like a warrior
Show your pride now
Solidify your place in time

I'm the one with the warrior inside

The evidence can't be denied
The entire world will stare
Into this battlefield tonight
As I stand before you with a warrior's heart now
I can feel the strength that will
Ensure my victory this time
ANOTHER WAY TO DIE

The indulgence of our lives

has cast a shadow on our world
Our devotion to our appetites
betrayed us all

An apocalyptic plight
More destruction will unfold
Mother Earth will show her darker side
and take her toll

It's just another way to die

There can be no other reason why

You know we should of seen it coming
Consequences we cannot deny will be
revealed in time
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky
A sign of devastation coming
We don't need another way to die
Can we repent in time?

The time bomb is ticking

and no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?

Still, we ravage the world that we love

And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die

It's just another way to die

Can we repent in time?

Greed and hunger led to our demise

A path I can't believe we followed

Black agenda's rooted in a lie
Will we repent in time?

Species fall before our very eyes

A world that they cannot survive in
left them with another way to die
Are we dead inside?

The time bomb is ticking

and no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?

Still, we ravage the world that we love

And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die

It's just another way to die

Still, we ravage the world we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die

It's just another way to die

Can we repent in time?

It's just another way to die

Can we repent in time?

NEVER AGAIN

Never again, never again

They have a frightening desire for genocide

They wouldn't stop til what what was left of my family died
Hell-bent on taking over the world
You couldn't hide in the shout of conformity
We can't forget how we were devastated by the beast
And now we pleaded with the captors for release
We were hunted for no reason at all
One of the darkest times in our history

All that I have left inside is

A soul that's filled with pride
I tell you never again
In a brave society
Didn't end up killing me
Scream with me, never again
Not again

A generation that was persecuted endlessly

Exterminated by the Nazi war machine
We will remember, let the story be told
To realize how we lost our humanity
You dare to tell me that there never was a Holocaust
You think that history will leave the memory lost
Another Hitler using fear to control
You're gonna fail this time for the world to see

All that I have left inside is

A soul that's filled with pride
I tell you never again
In a brave society
Didn't end up, killing me
Scream with me, never again
Not again

All that I have left inside is

A soul that's filled with pride
I tell you never again
In a brave society
Didn't End up killing me
Scream with me, never again

For the countless souls who died

Their voices fill this night
Sing with me, never again
They aren't lost, you see
The truth will live in me
Believe me, never again
THE ANIMAL

I can feel the animal inside

My resolve is weakening
Pounding on the doors of my mind
It’s nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again
Run if you intend to survive
For the beast is coming to life
Taking more than a glimmer of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night

For the animal’s soul is mine

We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

I can feel the calling again

The primal need is filling me
Changes are about to begin
And now my blood is boiling
I can see the fear in your eyes
But you can’t bring yourself to scream
Time to shed the mortal disguise
The beast is coming to life
Taking more than a glimmer of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night

For the animal’s soul is mine

We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

We begin the hunt tonight

Til the power courses the creatures take flight
When the kill is close and I will be satisfied
For the smell of fear tonight
Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied
You’re mine

For the animal’s soul is mine

We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

For the animal’s soul is mine

And the world around will never hear your cries
An unholy crime
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

CRUCIFIED

When others left before

I could bear to turn away
Now that it's come to this
Is there nothing left to say?
I've never known before
Such exquisite suffering
As I watched you walk away
I gave in to panicking

I can't believe that

This is really happening
Have I really lost again?
Desperation drives me insane
I will focus all the pain
Right into your heart

Chorus:

Till it makes you blind

Till the faces of your former world
Have fallen from your sight
Till you're mine
Until the voice of doubt no longer
Dominates your mind
I'm crucified

Cold and unwhole again

Crying out and questioning
Will I ever love again?
What's the point of anything?
It takes a toll again
This is where the "fun" begins
Visions haunt me through the night
Now I'm dying for your sins

I can't believe that

If you looked me in the face
You could say there's nothing left
How the silence drives me insane
I will focus all the pain
Right into your heart

Chorus:

Till it makes you blind

Till the faces of your former world
Have fallen from your sight
Till you're mine
Until the voice of doubt no longer
Dominates your mind
I'm crucified

I cannot feel anything, anger I've been harboring

You've nailed me to the cross, upon it will remain
I can't feel anything, rage inside is festering
You've nailed me to the cross, upon it will remain

I will focus all my pain

Right into your heart

Chorus:
Till it makes you blind
Till the faces of your former world
Have fallen from your sight
Till you're mine
Until the voice of doubt no longer
Dominates your mind
I'm crucified

SERPENTINE

See the dogs come running

Smelling blood now
To an open sore
On a parasite
Countless hearts have fallen
Hard to number
Damnation's whore
Is looking for a victim tonight

With an angry soul

And a wicked design
Your will cannot endure
And your heart is torn away

Chorus:

I was caught up in the moment

We were alone and you seemed to harness the light
Even though I felt cold inside
When you told me it would be alright
I had given up control and
I didn't focus hard enough to see the warning signs
Your heart is serpentine

Damn what I've becoming

One of them now
Just an opened door
On an endless night
Dark desire burning
In my blood now
How can I be sure
I don't know if I'll be able to fight

With a tortured soul

And an honest design
My will cannot endure
As my heart is torn away

Chorus:

I was caught up in the moment

We were alone and you seemed to harness the light
Even though I felt cold inside
When you told me it would be alright,
I had given up control and,
I didn't focus hard enough to see the warning signs,
Your heart is serpentine,

Now that I've been torn apart,

Will there be an end to this?
Will there finaly be release?
Will I finally rest in peace?
I'm determined to believe,
My prayers will be received,

With a tortured soul,

And an honest design,
My will cannot endure,
As my heart is torn away,

Chorus:

I was caught up in the moment,

We were alone and you seemed to harness the light,
Even though I felt cold inside,
When you told me it would be alright,
I had given up control and,
I didn't focus hard enough to see the warning signs,
Your heart is serpentine,

The warning signs,

Your heart is serpentine,
Evil personified,
Your heart is serpentine
MY CHILD

Tore it up again, I couldn't stop again,

Letting go till there was nothing in the way,
Fuck the feeling then, I cave in again,
Sweet surrender to the angel I deny,
When you came to life I was terrified,
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same,
Doubt came over me; what kind of father would I be?
Another time I could stand up and be a man,
To change a face in my life,
Your future and mine,
Time to do what is right,
A new beginning,

The world around me died,

When I saw that heartbeat,
I knew it wasn't a sin,
Can someone tell me why,
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death,
Would you redeem my child?

No serenity within agony,

Every day brings on,
A hundred ways to fight,
Constant scrutiny,
I can feel you judging me,
Resurrecting every demon that's inside,
The priest was horrified,
You struggled, still alive,
That one desire was,
The dream I sought for yours,
Grief crippled me, the reaper cheated me,
Left me early for the path I'd come to adore,
To change a face in my life,
Your future and mine,
Time to do what is right,
A new beginning,

The world around me died,

When I saw that heartbeat,
I knew it wasn't a sin,
Can someone tell me why,
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death,
Would you redeem my child?

My child,

The world around me died,

When I saw that heartbeat,
I knew it wasn't a sin,
Can someone tell me why,
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death,
Would you redeem my child?

I pray you will redeem my child.

SACRIFICE

I will forever be reminded

Of how I struggled to survive
The betrayal that you conspired in
All that devotion thrown away
And with everything I confided
I should have known not to trust again
This insanity has divided
Left me with nothing left to destroy
I'm becoming so paranoid
Everyone is so paranoid
In a moment you will see my other side
When I'm confronted
My demeanor turns from Jekyll into Hyde

Hell has broken free tonight

No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will feed on the lies
He demands your sacrifice

I can barely control this feeling

Look at the murder in my eyes
I was never good at concealing
Violent thoughts have come to life
Horror will have a deeper meaning
You are the reason this began
Even now I can hear you screaming
There's only one thing left to destroy
And I'll no longer be paranoid
No more reason to be annoyed
In a moment you will see my other side
When I'm confronted
My demeanor turns from Jekyll into Hyde

Hell has broken free tonight

No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will feed on the lies
He demands your sacrifice

Hell has broken free tonight

No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will feed on the lies
Hell has broken free tonight
No pale reflection anymore
You awoke him, now he will feed on the lies
He demands your sacrifice

INNOCENCE

(Who is innocent? No one is innocent. Who is innocent?)

Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief,
The killer walks again,
Freed by evil men in their dark charade,
This can't be happening,
A mother's selfish pride,
Her child's homicide,
Can she be to blame?
The suited vultures circling,
A father's cruelty,
A murdered family,
Is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to embrace their lies,
With their devious smiles,

Chorus:

Your corruption is like,

A cancer growing inside,
You owe the world an apology,
You've been taught all your life,
That truth is easy to hide,
You'll face your judgement another day,
And suffer eternally,

Presumed innocent,
Justice fails again in the masquerade,
A battered woman trembling,
Her lover drunk again,
When will the torture end,
In her web of shame?
Is death the only way?
A child victimized,
The crime politicized,
For the counselor's gain,
The rabid media congregates,
His tortured memories,
A pervert's fantasies,
Is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen,
On your TV screen,

Chorus:

Your corruption is like,

A cancer growing inside,
You owe the world an apology,
You've been taught all your life,
That truth is easy to hide,
You'll face your judgement another day,
And suffer eternally,

False defender, burn forever,

Cold and spineless, have you no soul?
Wicked-minded, out of control and guided,
By their hunger, they will find new,
Ways to betray us,

Chorus:

Your corruption is like,

A cancer growing inside,
You owe the world an apology,
You've been taught all your life,
That truth is easy to hide,
You'll face your judgement another day,
And suffer eternally,
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief,
Presumed innocent,
Justice fails again in the masquerade,
Has the whole world become insane?
