[1.]
Inserted soul denied
No choice but staying alive
Left hand path laughter
Teh grin strenghts up my heartbeat
So wehere am I to turn
Here where the daylight burns
I'm left for living pain
I've been denied the right to die
[C.]
I feed of sickening
You pain unpuzzles the inferno
I am the labyrinth
My shadow brings you to your death
[2.]
I'm placed to walk this earth
I'm sent to stop your birth
tillborn miscarriage
I'm the reason
I'm to blame
I Spread my blackened wings
Our city's doomed in war
Death is my employer
Abomination non-divine
[Repeat C.]
[3.]
So if you see me look away
Or never again you will see the light of day
The bringer of torture
The bringer of pain
never to die
but always bloodstained
Bloodstained
[4.]
This earth I walk alone
Trapped in the twilight zone
Murder and sickness
Like a hunter, hunting for no prey
I Spread my blackened wings
Our city's doomed in war
Death is my employer
Abomination non-divine
[Repeat C. (X2)]

[1.]
So what is life
Don't we all dream of dying or when to die
Mesmerized we try to find
the answers we rather keep inside
So what are we on our knees
and image of all that used be
Straight forward death campaign
Let's go where the dreams shall always reign
[2.]
So what is death
No need to die
Is it a power we can deny
Living dead a way of life
Laid to rest is this a lie
Forever turned backwards
Break the circle
Hypnotized
Insanity
Universal
Invert the starsign in the sky
[C.]
Hang on
Our journey's begun
Survival means failure under this black burning sun
Be strong your wait has been long
But these wings of fire will carry you on
[Repeat C.]
[3.]
Murder one
Race is run
Killing spree is life undone
Are you dead before you live
Do you have to take before you give
Day of time yet to come
Your clock is ticing by your dream-drum
left for dead
Left to life
Will your overcome the circle strife
[4.]
The skeletons in your closet world
awaits the angel of a world that burns
The dream begins
No need to repent your living sins
Nevergod
Nevermore
You're free to hate the ones before
Wordly devastation is nothing
compared to altered mind
[Repeat C (X2)]
Burn

[1.]
An empty paper in front of me
and the pen that is supposed be
the link between
my thoughs and the written word
[2.]
I always believed that I could write
about anything
But I am always wrong somehow
[3].
Wrong somehow
And I can't find a way
To release the poetry I hide
In the closet deep inside
[4.]
And Why do you hear these words
Whwn I have nothing to say
I am only trying to complete this song
[5.]
So you can see
See that i don't know
That i don't know
the way to find the words
I'm given time
Time to find a rhyme
But all I do is write these empty lines
Though I wish that i could....

[Anders Mareby: Cello]This album came about in ABYSS STUDIO Parlby, Grangarde the last weeks of 1996.
Peter Tagtgren made sure everything sounded heavy and ended up on tape. He also
mixed the whole thing all by himself. Thanx a lot for your patience, you rule!
We would like to dedicate this album to our long-time friend and band member
Sami Nerberg who couldn't appear on this recording due to personal problems.
We're all glad you're back. Cheers...
