New Religion 06:24
NEW RELIGION I've got a new religion High priest, sacrificial virgins And blood we spill For celebrity Come join my new religion Get up to speed with the latest version Swallow the pill Set yourself free Live life vicariously Add friends precariously Post a thought about your future We'll all be screaming for the end Conception in the afterlife Feed the afterbirth to the antichrist Our reality is a world of make-believe No God can turn it upside down Close your eyes to see the new religion - fantasy We once were lost but now we're found I'm in a new position Follow me, get the pic and caption What won't I do To get on your feed Sift through my virtual treasures Desperate times call for desperate measures But that's nothing new We're all born in need Living life vicariously Adding friends precariously Posting comments on the future Of the human race, when will it end? Conception in the afterlife Feed the afterbirth to the antichrist Our reality is a world of make-believe No God can turn it upside down Close your eyes to see the new religion - fantasy We once were lost but now we're found I'm a god with a new religion Eat my flesh and blood with passion Holy Communion Never tasted so good Sacrifice the present moment Your time is now but you don't own it You'll tithe your privacy For good So many likes but you're still a loner Cause real love is not a number Conception in the afterlife Feed the afterbirth to the antichrist Our reality is a world of make-believe No God can turn it upside down Close your eyes to see the new religion - fantasy We once were lost but now we're found

Twelve Bells 05:45
TWELVE BELLS Sharp sting of a white fang Full moon and the wolf sang Twelve bells in the night rang We're coming for you Boil in a blood bath Can't get out of our path Another victim of this wrath The wolf howling for you We've got you surrounded Hot flesh getting pounded No way you can play dead With us at your throat You'll beg us for mercy You'll slake bloodthirsty Twelve bells and thirty … We're finished with you Call us relentless Always repentless May be sinners Senseless violence Meet your fate Love your death Feel our hate Take your last breath ........... There's the story of twelve bells Our heaven and your hell So don't fall under the spell The wolf singing for you Take this as a warning Stay in bed until morning When the wolf is howling To the chime of twelve bells Twelve bells Twelve bells Twelve bells at midnight Twelve bells at midnight Twelve bells at midnight They gave us a fright Twelve bells at midnight Twelve bells at midnight Twelve bells at midnight They gave us a fright Twelve bells All’s well All’s well at Twelve bells

FIGHTER’S HEART I am the warrior feeding on the spoils of my latest coup Tore down a system that was rotten and tomorrow I'll be coming for you My revolution the solution to a world that's bent on keeping me down My persecution evolution since the years that we defied the crown I am the mastermind behind the rhythm and the melody Of this eternal song we're singing under chains of slavery There is a fighter in my heart that even death can't smother Reborn to every generation and an all-too-human mother Stand up and fight Rise up, take back the night Stand up and fight Wise up and live your own life You can't you can't you can't you can't make me I've got the upper hand you can't take me All your money and your power they can't bring me down No fear of death Or taking my last breath Will slow me down while taking yours Back against the wall I've already lost it all There's nothing left for me to lose. Stand up and fight Rise up, now don't take flight Stand up and fight Wise up and live your own life I am the warrior feeding on the spoils of my latest coup Tore down a system that was rotten and tomorrow I'll be coming for you My revolution the solution to a world that's bent on keeping me down My persecution evolution since the years that we defied the crown Stand up and fight Rise up, now don't take flight Stand up and fight Be strong don't take your own life

BIONIC Expectation Tribulation Conflagration Revelation God's creation Only got me so far Call it magic Call it tragic Automatically Everything fell into place Don't try to stop me I'm indestructible I am bionic I’m supersonic Man with a robotic eye I rule in a world Of flesh and bone I am bionic I’m supersonic Hyper-organic lie Render you perfectly, lifeless Make you a clone My appointment Is with disappointment And in the tough times I'm your ointment God's creation Only got you so far Still you never gave in Never let up Will you believe in The strength of what I'm stirring up? I will take you I will make you better than human I am bionic I’m supersonic Man with a robotic eye I rule in a world Of flesh and bone I am bionic I’m supersonic Hyper-organic lie Render you perfectly, lifeless Make you a clone I'll leave you a pound of flesh And no soul I’ll edit your algorithm Make you whole Your God built you thoughtlessly I'll render you flawlessly I’ll give you the life you deserved All along Expectation Tribulation Conflagration Revelation God's creation Only gets you so far Call it magic Call it tragic Automatically Everything falls into place Don't try to stop us We're indestructible I am bionic I’m supersonic Man with a robotic eye I rule in a world Of flesh and bone I am bionic I’m supersonic Hyper-organic lie Render you perfectly, lifeless Make you a clone Make you a clone

NEVER AND FOREVERMORE I never thought much about the future Did my best to learn from the past Tried to keep my heart in the moment You know I tried to make a good thing last Never believed in rainy days Never dreamed you'd look my way Here we are now and I wonder Where did all the years go? Time is a mystery Yet time is how you'll measure me Always searching for eternity Never and forevermore I get older and a little wiser Still get burned when I play with fire What am I willing to give away this time? Is my life just a running countdown? Is my death just another sundown? What will I find on the other side? Time is a mystery Yet time is how you'll measure me Always searching for eternity Never and forevermore

Demon Ize 03:58
DEMON IZE You talk the talk We walk the walk A living sacrifice Our blood is real Plans laid in chalk But we don't balk We're facing evil And blood is real Your demon eyes … Don't you demonize Your demon eyes … Don't you demonize me You try to hide What you confide In us when you come knocking On our door And those who died Gave all for your lie Ultimate sacrifice Their death was real Your demon eyes … Don’t you demonize Your demon eyes … Don’t you demonize me With lies, with lies A battle won Another job well done A life that served its purpose In military service When will it end? How long can we defend The politics of greed, And hatred? Your demon eyes … Don’t you demonize Your demon eyes … Don’t you demonize me With lies, with lies

WELL OF SOULS There's a well In hell For the damned And those under my spell And they drink In the stink Of their own rotting flesh But they drink Went astray Lost their way Came to me On their darkest day No return Now they burn By the well And they learn Down by the well Needed money Wanted power Begged for relief in their final hours Lost control or Took control Ran away like a thief Or a coward An adventure This human nature Keeps me occupied Another sinner died There's no lack Of black In the human spirit Down by the well I call this my well of souls Eternal font, How my garden grows! Drink from my well of souls Watch how my garden grows There's a well In hell For the damned And those under my spell And they drink In the stink Of their own rotting flesh But they drink Down by the well Think of all the ways They can pay in hell Get it straight from the source When they're down by the well I was there for them In their hour of need Now they're here for me When we're down by the well Down by the well

EAT THE YOUNG They can't keep us down Can't stop the world from going 'round Can't tell us what to do We're gonna rise from the ashes They can't shut my mouth Can't stop the beast in the south Can't stop the north wind howling Through the night again and again Eat the young Burn the old Dance around the stake All night long They won't shut me up Even if they blow the world up Can't force me to become Another mannequin Now we're in retrograde Another Trump so well played Hand me the ace of spades I'll dig another grave They can't shut my mouth Can't stop the beast in the south Can't stop the north wind howling Through the night again and again Eat the young Burn the old Dance around the stake All night long

NO MAN'S LAND Four days in hell No relief from the horrible smell Of death and decay My friends rotting away In no man's land We make our stand Sixty yards from the German front Crawling into a shell hole They call this hell hole No man's land Scarred earth, rivers of blood In Railway Trench Can't shake the stench Of no man's land Gunfire overhead Tempts me to join the undead No orders, no borders A brotherhood of those who bled and fled In no man's land We make our stand Sixty yards from the German front Crawling into a shell hole They call this hell hole No man's land Scarred earth, rivers of blood In Railway Trench Can't shake the stench Of no man's land How can you tell a man Lay down your life In hunger, strife, and fear Now I'm forsaken by my God and king Gave everything for no return And here I'll live in exile Here I'll stay in no man's land Sixty yards from the German front Crawling into a shell hole They call this hell hole No man's land Scarred earth, rivers of blood In Railway Trench Can't shake the stench Of no man's land

THE LAST WORD I'm lying in this hospice And I'm afraid I hear familiar voices Fading away Have my sins Come to this Will I die here all alone? Don't take me I'm not ready To face the ending on my own I feel you take my hand I'm overcome If I had one more chance I'd tell you that I love you All of the sadness that you feel, And all of the hatred, isn't real. Only Love, that's what's left for you and I What I wouldn't give if I could live To see another day Don't take me I'm not ready To face the ending on my own Have my sins Come to this Will I die here all alone? God save me My family Can't you hear their prayers? Why take me I'm not ready I can't remember the last word All the pain and suffering Doesn't make a man a king Death, now what will you bring Will you take away the sting? Hang a body on a cross How can we gain from loss The captain and the albatross Both of them died in vain I took a sacred oath I took the best from both Questioned authority No power over me In your quest for the last word Remember what you just heard Life can be so absurd If you refuse to learn That the last word is love Though you'll try to deny it Yes the last word is love
