Am I the only one who cannot breathe in this crowd? Am I the only one who fears they all are after me? When you look around, you see The mass of hungry vultures You cannot feel anything But disgust and hate You are still trying vainly To hide your fear behind the mask You are still trying vainly To hide that you're desperate Inside, outside, everywhere you feel so tight You are so tired but you cannot find a place to rest No chance to win the fight, you have nowhere to hide All you can do is to suffer and silently detest When you look around, you see The mass of broken machines Though they are moving You're not sure they are truly alive You are still trying vainly To avoid those evil engines You are still trying vainly Not to stay under their knife Inside, outside, everywhere you feel so tight You are so tired but you cannot find a place to rest No chance to win the fight, you have nowhere to hide All you can do is to suffer and silently detest No matter how you're screaming The only place to go is the void inside your empty head Anyhow nobody hears Every night you safely hide in the empty world of dead Am I the only one who cannot fight against the nil Am I the only one who fears it is nonsense to try So you closed your eyes and forgot everything to save your life So you closed your mind and forgot all the pain You became one of them, the sleepwalkers, the scavengers of time Who gave up all efforts, nothing to lose, nothing to gain Inside, outside, everywhere you feel so tight You are so tired but you cannot find a place to rest No chance to win the fight, you have nowhere to hide All you can do is to suffer and silently detest No matter how you're screaming The only place to go is the void inside your empty head Anyhow nobody hears Every night you safely hide in the empty world of dead

So here I am, drunk as fuck again and more than full of life Now I have the force to break the lock, escape the cage No time for turning back, I am the one who never has enough Every wall in my way is being leveled to the ground with rage Waste it all, down the drain Burn it down so it can rise again Now remain strong, bite the pain And smash your head against the wall So here I am, born again more powerful, ready for more To satisfy my thirst I'm seeking for another hit Becoming furious, I will be the devil at your door I cannot feed my hunger, it's like I am addicted Breaking the role of victim, no turning back, now it's my turn It will be cruel and unfair but now I'm too far to return When all your hope suddendly dies Burn all that remains from the old From the dead the new light will arise The order of Chaos Waste it all, down the drain Burn it down so it can rise again Now remain strong, bite the pain And smash your head against the wall This is war and for victory I have to sacrifice All guilts and wishes from the past that only make me blind Need to start to believe that all my memories are just white lies Now I'm on my way and salvation's what I will find Breaking the role of victim, no turning back, now it's my turn It will be cruel and unfair but now I'm too far to return When all your hope suddendly dies Burn all that remains from the old From the dead the new light will arise The order of Chaos

Human life is just a fucking game But every time it ends the same And every player dies before Finding one simple goal I know you‘ll try to change your fate But you will fail, now it’s too late Your body will be dead before You manage to free your soul Just fight your sanity! Destroy the chain that holds your mind in shape! Find the way above the space through poisoning your brain! Cause all this world is a nightmare Give up your mind and you’ll escape For finding out the holy truth you have to go insane So you want to run away? The only way is through the gates of hell You decided to play Next day you’ll be born as someone else Giving up the search for sense Flying to some other space Crisis of existence? Be prepared, it’s time to wake up Psychotic overdrive! Once in a dream I met a guy Who reminded me that I’ll die And inside my frightened mind he came to show his might Blinded by his coal dark coat By the gleam of his sharp scythe I decided for a spiritual suicide So you feel like you‘re the king? Like you can easily rule everything? Now you live in your own world Now you live in your own lie But beyond the skin you feel That just nothing you get is real You will be haunted by doubts Forever, until you die You are all alone! Everyone’s deaf but you still hear the tone Of the death knell ringing This day may be the last But before you reach the end of the way There are a few rounds left to play Shoot up in vein! Unchain the brain! Before you turn to dust So you want to run away? The only way is through the gates of hell You decided to play Next day you’ll be born as someone else Giving up the search for sense Flying to some other space Crisis of existence? Be prepared, it’s time to wake up Psychotic overdrive! Once In a dream I met a guy Who reminded me that I’ll die And inside my frightened mind he came to show his might Blinded by his coal dark coat By the gleam of his sharp scythe I decided for a spiritual suicide It's just a dream and I'm the guy Who reminds you that you will die And inside your frightened mind I came to show my might Blinded by my coal dark coat By the gleam of my sharp scythe You decided for a spiritual suicide

Golden Door 04:27
Dazed and confused you cannot tell for certain if this all is real You are aware that there's no proof that all your life's not just a dream What should you do when you can't believe what you see or what you feel You've been put into the madhouse where nothing is as it seems Slowly melting down Descending through nine circles of hell And your lack of will is tightening the noose around your neck The stairs are steep and rotten It is only a matter of time until all this will fall All hope will fade to black You feel no love, you feel no hate to all this world you just despise You're like a broken mirror, showing only disappointment Gave up your illusions, you're just trying not to close your eyes Cannot trust in anything until the end...until the end There's no one else to blame All you can feel is shame So far from the golden door But you can't go on anymore Can't go beyond the hill You're loosing faith in your free will Now time has come to pay The time for you to pass away You overcame your fear but now there's nothing left to fight The way is clear but at the end there is no goal which you can trust Only illusions that try to bring you down You're like a broken mirror, cracked and all covered in dust There's no one else to blame All you can feel is shame So far from the golden door But you can't go on anymore Can't go beyond the hill You're loosing faith in your free will Now time has come to pay The time for you to pass away

Night Walk 02:56
The storm is raging through the insomniac night It will soon be dawn but I still cannot fall asleep So I get up and leave the house heading to the river Stop halfway on the bridge and just stare to the deep I watch the lightning, my only glow of hope that can kill While the rain washes out the venom from my skin And I can see the reflection of my star fading away The sun will soon arise to behold my last sin I wish it never ends This moment of lucidity In a world that has no sense I feel like I understand it all It really doesn't matter if I jump or not In both cases the dormant star will rise again It's getting light outside and the storm is calming down I get up and try to remember this cryptic dream But I know how useless is to try to find the meaning So I give it up and wait until this thoughts turn to steam

The Consumer 02:03
I am at war against my taste Against my lust, my need need of thrill I cannot resist, I must feed it once again Appease my thirst, my desire Starvation's beating my will I must enjoy, eat and fuck, consume to remain sane Desperate attempt to fill the void Where nothing is everything Remember that being is desire And desire is suffering You will never find the cure I am at war against my taste My taste to waste everything No exceptions, it hides behind my every act I'm on a hunt for the golden calf For might and joy, for the One Ring I want everything to pass through my digestive tract Desperate attempt to fill the void Escape the blue light Life is a maze built from craving And you are lost inside You'll never find the way out I want it all and I want more I want more pain, love and hate I rape my senses to absorb it all, it is my bane I am a slave of consumption It's a natural human trait No way to resist, I must taste it once again
