Tempted 07:17
The unbearable weight Of an unending wait Trying to find a reason Losing sight of the question The answer lies in the death of one An option that is mine to decide I will choose for you Since you are here to die End it if you will Never will you stop drifting in pain Fear being your biggest foe Loneliness your only friend Constantly dreaming of coming back Burning in the trap, the nightmare End it if you will Forever be filled with eternal pain Killing your obsession Getting rid of yourself Dying is not an option While living is no solution Kill, homicide, murder A lullaby playing in your mind The only remedy to this plague is death I will choose for you Since you are here to die End it if you will Never will you stop drifting in pain Fear being your biggest foe Loneliness your only friend Constantly dreaming of coming back Burning in the trap, the nightmare End it if you will Forever be filled with eternal pain Eternal pain Can’t stop it, can’t stop me Can’t stop it, can’t stop me Tempted Gone Signs of suicidal being here Present are the signs Loud, is, the whisper Never ending, is the, shiver No more dreams, constant nightmares Black hole, filled, with dark thoughts You’ve been told, you haven’t seen hell Yet everyday smells like burning flesh Early departure Complete failure Erase the error Final closure Tempted to kill To kill Tempted to kill To kill Tempted to kill To kill Tempted to kill To kill All this water makes you drown into negative Depressive, aggressive State of suffocation

Sentenced 01:49
I can’t escape, from my fate It’s too late, to have faith Without hate, I await, the last gate Captured at war, and sentenced to death Today is the day, they’ll put me to death Realize that I’ll soon be dead My hands chained, a bag over my head As we walk out, I hear all their steps Feel the rain, my bag is now wet Gloomy day, for the day I’ll die Not what I wished, at the time of my last ride Legs are trembling as I hear the roll of drums, played for me Heartbeat is speeding up with the shuffle of guns, brought for me My whole body crumbles under the weight of fear, invades me Dignity is gone I can’t hold all the tears Stopping me, pushing me against the wall Hitting me, beating me until I fall Lifting me, ordering me to stand Hating me, now that I will meet the end Breathing the scent of death That is now in the air It’s time for my last prayers I will meet my death Legs are trembling as I hear the roll of drums, played for me Heartbeat is speeding up with the shuffle of guns, brought for me My whole body crumbles under the weight of fear, invades me Dignity is gone I can’t hold all the tears The commander ordering to load Then he’s asking his soldiers to hold Heavy silence, I’m hearing their breaths I am the target of their bullets Last dawn, eternal dusk Last duel, already lost Following seconds seem like an hour And finally, I’m hearing fire First bullet is passing through my chest Tearing apart my flesh Hear my blood splashing on the wall Standing for a while before I fall Across my corpse, the chill of fear Now the time to weep all my tears Last bullet is going through my head Final vision, I am seeing red

Cold Ways 04:36
Left aside, an eternity in solitude Traumatized, banned by a careless family Abused and beaten since early childhood Distress to delusion, detached from reality A dark blue, invades the living room Time stops, freezing space into deadly winter Through the window, a stalking light enters It makes the blood look black, as you drown into the gloom Marked by a lack of sensibility Caused by a life of desolation Devoid of human emotions, he lies Empty, unknown to love or compassion The icing chill that goes through your spine The constant certitude of a presence watching The growing fear spreading from inside The sudden panic feeling the spirit raping Self-indulged discipline Strict and severe concept of living Waiting for the moment, covered in snow Years of torture accumulated in a single blow Becoming the invisible killer A calculator of behaviour Anticipator, patient, fierce and precise The violator A dark blue, invades the living room Time stops, freezing space into deadly winter Through the window, a stalking light enters It makes the blood look black, as you drown into the gloom Satisfied in homicide A brutal masterpiece Flawless, murderous perfection Criminal supremacy achieved in cold ways

Burial 08:54
Opening my eyes and seeing nothing, total darkness Trying to move, but the walls surround me, no space left Hard to breathe, inhaling my exhalations, airless I hear laughter between shovelfuls, from above Now I realize where I am Stay calm, avoid claustrophobia Don’t remember what happened Why am I prisoner of this shell? Pushing with all my might for nothing Yelling with all my might for nothing Scratching till it bleeds for nothing Smashing till it hurts for nothing Is it my reward for a life of misery? Am I chastised for living this long? Cannot pray without faith Anyway, faith won’t save me Being the cavy, a foolish experience The scapegoat of human absurdity The convict of the merciless The object of a silly jest Pushing with all my might for nothing Yelling with all my might for nothing Scratching till it bleeds for nothing Smashing till it hurts for nothing Mourning your burial Don’t wanna pass out from asphyxia Living your burial Better precipitate the end Mourning your burial By self-mutilation Don’t wanna wait till I pass away Lost in darkness Have to act before exhaustion How could I commit suicide in here? Tearing apart my belly skin Finding comfort in suffering Touch the wounds with my fingertips Unrolling my guts, piling them up aside Biting my wrist, the taste of blood Extirpating my nerves and veins Painting the walls of my cage red With every heartbeat a squirt of blood Hoping I bleed to death before I start stifling Now I realized where I was Stayed calm, avoided claustrophobia Did not remember what happened Why was I prisoner of this shell? I had to act before exhaustion How did I commit suicide in here? Tore apart my belly skin Found comfort in suffering Touched the wounds with my fingertips Unrolled my guts, piled them up aside Bit my wrist, the taste of blood Extirpated my nerves and veins Painted the walls of my cage red With every heartbeat a squirt of blood I bled to death before I started stifling

Karma 03:50
Conspiracy, treachery Too many times I have failed to foresee Trust is something I no longer seek Such in the way when you learn through deceit Memories still haunt me Peace of mind is out of reach Guilt and shame Some of the feelings I will have to teach through pain Pain will be yours to receive My pain Pain will be yours to receive Karma, I will be your karma You know what you did We all know what you’ve done It can’t be undone It’s time to repent Your punishment, is overdue You will receive, as I will unleash… My vengeance Fakes, in fantasy you dwell Death, the final reward for living this life Her pain must be as deep as all the nails she put through me Break the spell, I will, when we have learned that she has stopped to breathe The pain, the pain is all yours to receive My pain, my pain is all yours to receive Karma I will be your karma Karma

Cleansing 01:50
Abortion of this earthly experiment Genocide of the strong and weak Liberating your souls from your bodies Your torture is my leisure As I dream of peeling your skin Projectiles in all your orifices Detonation of the master plan Their hope a fatal illusion Women and children first Harmless toys used for weaponry Vaporising them, a quest for relief Never turn on me I’ll carve my name in your fucking back Like cockroaches, you earthly parasites Suffocate under my feet Vengeful species slaughtering without mercy Vengeful species slaughtering without mercy Are you reading this? Are you reading me? Are you reading this? Are you reading me? Hypocrisy, calumny, false honesty I psychologically abuse you I decimate your ego I rape your conscience Cleansing Without mercy

A long time ago During an age without scripture and minimal language A difficult transition From roaming packs to organized tribes No science to help Some difficult questions needed their answers Divided nations Demanded creation of fearless soldiers Clerical manipulation For procreation Clitoridectomy Infibulation Spreading through the masses as the perfect virus Conquering, altering mind after mind Meticulously, viciously harnessing the blind Spirited apes reduced to mindless insects Mandatory reproduction so that we can conquer the Earth Showing mercy only to the ones who convert No room in our history for the unbeliever Believe in our gods or be destroyed by fire Forgive me my father For what you have done Abuse me my father In silence I endure Torture me my father I have faith in pain Expiate my sins By penitence Self-consciousness is a double-edged sword The need to be above all other animals Illusive Deity An escape from the anxieties of death Given the hope of immortality Deceptive Deity A remedy to our pain and suffering The only path to a blessed eternity Synthetic Deity A magic pill to confuse the human psyche The perfect plot to destroy the skeptic mind Counterfeit Deity Admire and devote your life to a master One who pretends to be the life giver The dominion is built for multiple reasons Scheming to turn everyone into a minion Divide, conquer and submit every population Engineer of mass manipulation Instrument of mass destruction Bow before the counterfeit deity Get down on your knees and bow down to your god Get down on your knees and suffer for your god Get down on your knees and bow down to your god Get down on your knees and suffer for your god Ask for a proof and your faith will be suspected Never be like the one who needed to touch the wounds The analytical might be judged and be rejected The total devotee is to be received in my kingdom Your God Disrespect Your children’s mother Behind the veil A woman mourns It never ends Control by threat It never ends The guilt of our sins It never ends Lies of the Holy Scriptures It never ends Screaming in death’s ear Guiding light of the lost sheep Why am I abandoned to melancholy Slaves by our own will to obey the rules Dictated by the profiteers of our feebleness Enslaved to be disciples instead of masters Of the only existence we have to live Terminate the ones who don’t have your faith Ushers in senseless wars for supremacy An ocean of blood has flown over the years To fulfill some prophet’s aspirations Their God, he loathes me Their God, despises me Their God, he loathes me Their God, despises me Master of Death, forgive me Taker of Life, spare me Master of Death, forgive me For years I have been Screaming in death’s ears for God
