Crash & Burn 04:58
lyrics

frail creation of an absentee god failed mutation bathing in its own blood violators hounds of satan when we fall, we fall together deceivers - clueless demigods illusions – the bread we feast upon sow violence – strike back those who oppose reap silence – where words fail, use the force moralist leaders clenching bibles and swords sip their nectar on the top of the world rise in power final - the hour modest patrons in their ivory towers no last word - none deserved crash & burn – struck a nerve? just stop and ask them: “what did we learn?” - what did we learn? no second chance for dilettantes - ignorance The rotten The phony The sadists you and me Follow – NO The blind – WAR Cripple – NO The mind - LORE wasted - NO Dreams - HOPE Conscious - NO Debauchery – MORE * * * Feeding on matter to sustain the spirit The closer the vision, the farther the touch We are slaves to this drug of our own conception Sentenced to fail, sentenced to sell our souls NO ! NO !! NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Live to watch it crash & burn frail creation of an absentee god failed mutation bathing in its own blood devolution, nature’s retribution watch it crash and burn as the final solution

lyrics

“I have felt the wind on the wing of madness pass over me.” Need Lifelong symphony All those years of self-destruction Left me hanging by a thread I I’m still alive Cast away, reborn insane Lazarus begrimed Let sickness subside thrown back into this picture perfect world sky-high on sentimental overload hatred, hatred no sanctuary in this moronic voracious perpetual rat race you’d better run faster, faster you’re the one you’re running after face to face, against the mirror I crawl a thousand needle-sharp voices that are taunting me, grasping me, forcing me to lose control I’ve lost control Buried this world in the ashes of my soul Self-confinement medication Pain atoned, still the need entails For a time to cease tribulations Embrace the change and... GROW

Bitter Celebration 05:49
lyrics
buy track
sever the nexus the core is dead the core is dead men tell no tales stand straight when all else fails? bridges burn, no return bars, cuffs, chains all will come undone the same a time to choose a time to save tracing footsteps heading to the grave bitter celebration of decay i’ll drink my cup and walk the line today turn loose all the demons a point-blank revenge lines bend, deformed shapes move at will structures take form time stands still caryatids knee-bend and twist gargoyles awake to open up the gates speak thy name, oh father speak thy truth sell me off so that my wounds would soothe bitter celebration of decay i’ll drink my cup and walk the line today lost in a kaleidoscope of timeless retrospectives again spinning, overwhelming, tornado bloody halo the break of the day the shadow betrays backstabbing heroes your time in not near your time is now dead end sighting - give up fighting die hard rebel, lonely devil let pain settle, floor the pedal one decision: straight collision now walls come tumbling down …and so this is the end the junkie met the sober sick of talking to myself this old monologue is over …and so this is the end walk straight across the border i’m done with yesterdays this old monologue is over …and so this is the end redemption’s for the seeker no fabric to hide my scars the spirit’s weak the flesh is weaker …and so this is the end i’ve crossed beyond this portal one final testament: my bones to sea my soul to orders that i will never be i’ll never share their apathy for a time to choose a time to save heavy footsteps trading off the grave bitter celebration of decay i drank my cup and walked the other way still i’m standing unbowed
