Bastard Chain

Searching for power, who is to blame?
You weak little bastard - bound to symbols of pain,
Hiding in shadows, a pungent smell,
You haven't decided your own fate cause your story of life is too bitter to tell,
Your dying eyes with a coward's reflection,
Heading for the true direction, forward to die!

Chorus
Bastard Chain, with souls so lame, the bastard's chain
Bastard Chain, with souls so lame, A bastard's chain

So you say your mind belongs to them?
- Turned upside down again, and again,
Feel ashame, feel ashame, yourself to blame, yourself to blame
- Only yourself...
Only yourself you can blame!
Only yourself you can blame!

Chorus

Helpless, you will devour, everything that comes before your eyes,
Citizens of restless power, never let your scorn rule your fate...
Your fate!..
always dragging you down, to the ground, a disgrace, a disgrace, your "master race", your "master race"
- only yourself...
only yourself you can blame!
Only yourself you can blame!

Chorus

Hey! Won't you tell me your name and justify your way of thinking,
Walking the stairs of the manipulated ones
- only yourself...
only yourself you can blame!
Only yourself you can blame

Like The Average Stalker

I think you just forgot to tell me why,
Why i was fading out again,
Why my mask of sanity was slipping off again,
my friend Beware of hatred when your time stands still

Chorus
Like the average stalker,
Forge to forgive,
Like the average stalker

I'm just sliding,
disappear into the night like a strange and forgotten light,
One, two, three and i'm at your door,
Calculating infinity,
In my silence where no one else can hear,
What is right, what is wrong (RIGHT, WRONG)
In my silence where no one else forgives,
Where the sane and insane strikes together as one

Chorus

Where is the fire it makes no sense at all,
I'm just hiding beneath the hour,
Disabled through affliction
I can't reach out Reach out, in my silence where no one else can hear,
What is right, what is wrong (RIGHT, WRONG)
In my silence where no one else forgives,
Where the sane and insane strikes together as one,
with a violent work of art I proceed,
in this lack of faith
I get what I need,
What I need !

Chorus

Like the average stalker,
Forge to forget,
Like the average stalker,
Like a silent talker,
Like the average stalker

Needlefeast

Well,
It's one for the money,
two for the show,
it makes no difference where I go,
push injectors in my skin,
to make my mission being,
Needles to fly,
needlefeast,
Needles to die,
Needlefeast,
Gotta get inside,
Gotta get inside,
Needles to die,
Needles to fly Burning up my hunger lay it all to rest!
Waking up my hostile pain, put it to the test,
When all is said and done I tell you I'm the one,
The one to reign supreme,
I'm like a brick wall,
I'm a solid player and I'm standing tall,
Who can make me fall,
On this very road...
Needles to fly,
needlefeast,
needles to die,
needlefeast,
gotta get inside,
gotta get inside,
needles to die,
needles to fly!

FLY ! FLY ! FLY ! FLY !

Chorus
This life I cannot face it, with the writings on the wall, this time it's hard to face it
As i'm screaming - What am i doing here ?!!

I bite the days like a suction pump,
Another breath,
another punch,
It makes me catch my breath,
Needles to fly,
needlefeast,
needles to die,
needlefeast,
gotta get inside,
gotta get inside,
needles to die,
needles to fly!

FLY! FLY! FLY! FLY!

Chorus

Before you steal my breath away I like to know if i was led astray,
neurosis comes to me at night,
It holds the truth cause I'm..
one for the money,
two for the show,
Straight to hell is where I go !!!
one for the money,
two for the show,
Straight to hell is where I go !!!
one for the money,
two for the show,
Straight to hell is where I go !!!

GO ! GO ! GO ! GO ! GO !!!!

Chorus
This life I cannot face it, with the writings on the wall, this time
- it's hard to face it As I'm screaming
- What am i doing here !?? (repeat)

Neurotica Rampage

Neurotica you player and daughter of mine,
Don't you think I know what's all behind
I suck on your evil punches that my grants soul tumble and roll,
You give me strength to break my chains,
Demonic assaults is all the remains
- raising hell within my veins, claim it's right to play those games,
you're making me repeat myself again
- bury the hatchet, light my torch,
A true believer, a deadly force, you're making my sore eyes live again,
The wrath of my demon is all I can give back to you,
No use for solitude it's better to be burned,
and not to leam that your master will return,
raising hell within my veins,
claim it's right to play those games,
you're making me repeat myself again
- bury the hatchet, light my torch, A true believer,
a deadly force,
you're making my sore eyes live again

Chorus
Hear! Hear them say it's so clear,
What's behind and so near Hear them say it's so clear..,
that you're one of them

Look at the inside and tell me that everything there is so sane,
You're so affective and only got your roots to blame,
You give me strength to break my chains,
Demonic assaults is all the remains
- raising hell within my veins,
claim it's right to play those games,
you're making me repeat myself again
- bury the hatchet, light my torch,
A true believer,
a deadly force, you're making my sore eyes live again,

Chorus

You give me strength, to break my chains,
Demonic assaults, is all that remains

Chorus

The Analyst

Straight forward on the path of life,
Who makes you choose that way,
Is it a crime to give it all up,
To leave it all behind,
Oh, this is all so crystal clear, Going on in shallow blindness,
To watch the madmen sort things out, No time to spill,
Isn't it such a thrill?
By self deception I am bound to take it seriously,
I'm way beyond,
I've put myself in a such horrible way to go

Chorus
I think you just made a big mistake..
This is just a fake cause I am,
Guilty by association Sinnger of mankind,
Im faced to build my life upon this hidden path
I just can't find

Well..
is this all so crystal clear?
Sometimes it seems like time stands still,
Demolish myself at free will,
Can you watch me burn as the sun goes down and my life is so overturned,
Can I identify myself with the judgement that I'm facing here,
Can't deny, won't deny that I'm level with the ground by fear

Chorus

Punished and banished I kill the ways of life,
You predict and restrict my views in the hands of time

Chorus

You wear the face of a desperate man displacing his fatal actions,
Refuse to recall his miserable times of stupid and naive attractions,
Going on in shallow blindness,
To watch the madmen sort things out,
No time to spill,
Isn't it such a mother fucking thrill ?
By self
- deception I am bound to take it seriously,
I'm way beyond,
I've put myself in such a horrible way to go

Chorus
I think you just made a big mistake...
this conversation's over,
The analyst may have won this case of discrimination and nothing but lies,
This fallen era makes me wonder,
Is it worth it when your dignity dies ?

Grand Failure Anthem

Look at the pale face in the sky,
It seems so ravaged inside the sense of rage is burning my eyes,
burning in my eyes, burning to deny,
I'm a part of a fallen machine,
Which reflects my life of misery
- Please guide my way through fallen galaxies,
Grand failure anthem
- You'll never see what you've become,
we want to get some well
- earned respect before we choke,
Well, there isn't anything that will kill our lust,
our lust for power,
They say, "may you get an hour in heaven before the devil knows you're dead!"
Grand failure anthem -
You'll never see what you've become, we want to get some well
- earned respect cause we have..
Failed ! Failed ! Failed ! Failed !
Ripped another spine til' the end of time,
Failed ! Failed ! Failed ! Failed !
We're being flushed down the drain

Chorus
And the one you hate, will suddenly be yourself, and it's all too late....

Anything, anything that will make my conscience clean,
Is there anyone out there,
who can restore what we have destroyed ?
Grand failure anthem
- You'll never see what you've become,
We'll never ever get some,
well earned respect cause we have....
Failed ! Failed ! Failed ! Failed !
Ripped another spine til' the end of time,
Failed ! Failed ! Failed ! Failed!
We're being flushed down the drain

Chorus

Disruptive and bound to kill itself,
The face of earth will turn,
When you're crawling to the cross,
And your inner thoughts reveal themselves,
Grand failure anthem
- You'll never see what you've become,
We'll never ever get some,
well earned respect cause we have....
Failed ! Failed ! Failed ! Failed !
Ripped another spine til' the end of time,
Failed ! Failed ! Failed ! Failed !
We're being flushed down the drain

Chorus

So you have died, your pale face in the sky,
The rage is burning.. burning my eyes,
I'm blind, Grand failure anthem
- we'll never see what we've become,
we'll never get some,
Well earned respect

Structure Divine

Cause I can't find pleasure anywhere,
this life is strangling me,
If I would turn myself inside out would I find peace of mind,
Would i find a peace of mind ?
And when the silence remains,
And all the fields stay the same,
It isn't different from the power that it holds,
Now, where is the pain?
As I gaze between my desires
There's a shadow and a bleeder every once in a while,
Can't you see my eyes,
They're trembling,
Beware the millions of senses locked in this rusty cage,
a fanatic rage this time I will stand still,
and no blood will be spilled !

Chorus
Yea I think I'm losin it,
Yea I think I'm losin it,
Back to normal a feast on the moral, served on a silver plate....

And when the silence remains,
And all the fields stay the same,
It isn't different from the power that it holds,
Now, where is the pain ? A big hail to my sadistic pleasures,
They saved my soul for a special price,
As I begin to fade,
the creature cries so
I'm heading for another one that will watch me raise my bloodstained banner,
No questions asked,
No questions asked

Chorus

A competition that will last until the silent one will speak,
So this is it,
is this the century sun ?
Mother of destruction,
please let me be the one to know,
Father of my pure agression,
don't cut the way where will I go

Shadowchild

I lick the surface of a freedom ride,
Under a hammering light..
I scream ! Let's roll the dice of the future,
burning in my hand,
I've built destruction upon the velvet skies,
Maybe I'm strong,
Maybe I'm wrong

Chorus
Lead us, Shadowchild
- soiled by your faith in disguise Shadowside - reflecting the eyes

I'm raising hell, a magic spell,
Pain and pleasure together as one,
I will recall,
I will recall,
When I'm down the stairs...
I split human cries,
I can feel when they lie,
My sun being one with the..
universe, Hear my call

Chorus

Creating my crown from the millions of lights,
I'm abused beyond recognition,
Pre-millenium futuristic,
I predict you all to live under an individual sun,
We're all out collecting our senses and run..

Chorus
Lead us, Shadowchild - soiled by your faith in disguise
Shadowside - reflecting the eyes
Lead us, Shadowchild - the truth's lying far from your life
Shadowside - reflecting the eyes

Final Fatal Force

Forevermore, fucked, strapped to the floor,
Headlong while i'm pissing on your floor,
Nameless, clueless a brick in the game,
Soon to be removed from the face of the earth, Is this a human feast ?
I was in slumber...
now !
Am i to be released?
Way down in my electric pit,
Where all you gimps reign supreme, Where i by your strings are dangling,
Twinkle, twinkle, dangling tip, tap, toe,
Is this a human feast ?
I was in slumber...
now !
Am I to be released ?
At least I had a hunger for more !

Chorus
Final, Fatal, Fatal force - feed the flame once more
Final, Fatal, Fatal force - to get rid of yourself

This final verdict with a diabolical view,
Can I ever be free from what is pulling me through,
Narcissistic, pure electric the the savior incarnated,
Is this a human feast ?
I was in slumber..
now !
Am i to be released ?
At least I had a hunger for more!

Chorus

So you say I'm just a wicked soul, well watch me operate !!
So you see me coming back for more,
You trace my steps like a dog,
Nameless, clueless a brick in the game,
Soon to be removed from the face of the earth,
Is this a human feast ?
I was in slumber...
now !
Am i to be released ?
At least I had a hunger for more ! (repeat)

A Predator's Portrait

A lesson in democracy,
I will never never be,
A servant of a moral standard,
a rebel soul for the free,
I scream and I burn,
I deny what I've learned,
Can't fight what's inside,
on this blasphemous ride,
Here I stand!

Chorus
Cause he will remain, will remain the same,
he's a part of the game, and he will remain

As i cry for more,
The angels burn their core,
Let the evil saints have their way,
When I'm heading for oblivion,
Acheiving my goals in every way,
In malicious ways I hail the insane,
Nevertheless my broken promises, I scream and I burn,
I deny what i've learned,
Can't fight what's inside,
on this blasphemous ride,
Here I fall !

Chorus

Now, take a look at the predator's portrait
Cause these walls are closing in!
Now, take a look at the predator's portrait
Cause these walls come tumbling down

Come watch me bleed one more time !
No substitute left to find !
All that I hear is what I preach !
A mighty soul is what I keep !

I step on the face who's dragging me down,
Fed up with the precious talk,
Like a sinner revealing himself again,
Now he's down and out,
and ready to strike,
he's ready to strike,
he's ready to strike,
to clear his very inside

Chorus

Asylum Dance

Can you see me crawling,
Down the trail of despair
Forgot how to cherish myself
Painful writings everywhere

Chorus:
I can see strange things coming over me
I can feel

Stare into my eyes believe me
I'm the one to forget what's right
As the blazing fire awakes
I turn to stone, there is no fright
Heavenly pleasures grants my desires
I'm totally lost
Demolation of the human nature
No matter what the cost

Chorus

Evertime I loose my judgement
You try to grab a hold of me
Vem fan ar du, jag gor vad jag vill,
medans tiden star still
(Who the fuck are you, I do what I want,
While time is standing still)

Chorus

Watch me dance as I'm totally lost
One step closer to infinity

A great pretender, a face of an angel
Buried alive, alive!

Watch me dance as I'm totally lost
One step closer to infinity

Agreat pretender, a face of an angel
Buried alive, alive!
