[music: M. Roderer, T. Bauer / lyrics: A. Krull]

Refering to an old book
one thousand words - one lie
lost in self-adulation
your self-regarded mind

narrow minded visions
spread like poison through the world
posing as the awaited saviour
the last supper prepared

blood-stained prophecy

a lifeless son is your idol
your act of grace is death
canturies of forced conversion
word of god declined

your tonguees speak about mercy
but your prophecy is pain
narcissim and divine benediction
won't save you from ordeal
blood-stained prophecy
[lead: T. Bauer, M. Roderer]5. Love Is Dead
[music: T. Bauer, M. Roderer / lyrics: A. Krull]
i feel a cold breath of wind
black sky in mourning-veil
i see no worth-living reason
oh no,
it's driving me insane
pangs of love
never thought i would feel this way
i see your face in every cloud
and i say to myself
don't let me, lete me fade away
love is dead
i walk through desert fields
black ravens surrounding me
i have no more jest for life
no more,
i'm bleeding from inside
a once opened heart
never thought i would feel this way
i search for any reason or cause
which i could never find
so i blame myself for things i don't understand
love is dead
all my life is pain
drowned in tears
never thought i would feel this way
everyday i die once more
my heart turns black
never again safe and warm
love is dead

[music: M. Schwarz, M. Roderer / lyrics: A. Krull]
degenerate!
we ar degeneration
your downfall is our aim
we suck your brain
we brind you pain
we are desperation
leading your son to slaughter
common grave diggers
mass-murderers, fellow travellers
a selfdestructive point of view
we drink your blood
we eat your heart
we are degeneration
we are transfiguration
this planet won't survive
decadent morality
malicious insanity, beneath dignity
a selfdestructive point of view
we suck your brain
we bring you pain
we are degeneration

[music: M. Roderer, T. Bauer / lyrics: A. Krull]
i'm watching the moon-set
walking through the woods
tasting depth of winter
morbidity and doom
i saw one million faces
i saw one million deaths
colours are in dark-grey
veil of emptiness
stalking in a nightmare
i was lost long ago
i gave all my love
spirit's feeling low
sorrow - i'm dead-tired, tired of life
eternal dusk my dungeon and desire
shadows - dark face in autumnal tints
covering me, lost in immortality
crossing the old bridgeg
like one thousand times before
sadness, autumnal equinox
sunbeams - nevermore
soulful - my heart is bleeding, my soul is seeking
for salvation and release
soulless - no more longing, no more loving
just the ashes of my thoughts
for ever and a day
death is the salvation
for ever and a day
life is the damnation
for ever and a day
ghosts are hunting me
for ever and a day
death is the salvation
stamping underwood down
plot revenge that kills
leaving life behind
sowing death and thrills
i saw one million faces
i saw one millions deaths
colours are in dark-grey
veil of emptiness
sorrow - i'm dead-tired, tired of life
eternal dusk my dungeon and desire
shadows - dark face in autumnal tints
covering me, lost in immortality
for ever and a day
death is the salvation
for ever and a day
life is the damnation
for ever and a day
ghosts are running free
for ever and a day
death is the salvation
sorrow in shadows
soulful but soulless
throughout time and space
misantrophic race
manhunting, echoing pain
endless night starts again
for ever and a day
death is the salvation
for ever and a day
life is the damnation
for ever and a day
ghosts are hunting me
for ever and a day
death is the salvation...

[music: M. Roderer / lyrics: A. Krull]
a deep grey nursery
creche a poor and dirty cage
dreams of wonderland
will never come true in this world
born into this misery
never knowing any reason why
cowering on the dirty floor
bed-ridden, beaten - every day
...under the seal of secrecy
eyes full of pain
belonging to the weaker sex
staring into space
so many years of hopelessness
in prison without any guilt
the children of no home and love
and they sing:
nursery rhymes out of their mind
without sense - sad cries for help
...under the seal of secrecy
growing into apathy
enduring every use of force
body like a numb limb
without ache - but soul is still alive
...under the seal of secrecy
[lead: T. Bauer]10. Down Below
[music: M. Roderer / lyrics: A. Krull]
here, now and then
sin and hate
shall dominate
i have seen the fall of man
wages of sin
is death
in the still of evening
night frost on the eaerth
seven continents are bleeding
seven seas in red
posterity will never find
rapture or peace of mind
goddess of luck, bearer of glad
buried by mankind
down, down below
there is no love
at death's door
with life, life of sin
we have been
blessed and doomed
the nightfall of humanity
together we obtain
loosing sensibility
reaching death's domain
fiery temper growing strong
engender fiendishness
graven image taken wrong
trying to surpass
eclipse of the moon
down below
phantasmagoric creation
down below
down, down below
there is no love
at death's door
sun will never rise
only darkness beholds the eyes
irruption of spitefulness
celebrated chaos
deep beyong there are no rules
survival of the fittest
in the still of night
world torn to shreds
seven continents are gone
seven sease are dead
eclipse of the moon
down below
phantasmagoric creation
down below
...down on earth!
[lead: T. Bauer, M. Roderer]11. The Hunt
[music: M. Roderer / lyrics: A. Krull]
sinful i have taken life by life
mortality a gift you have to make
blood and sweat is the nourishment
bloody victim the hunt is your painful eend
nervously your skin is turning wet
merciless i stab you in the back
steel of sword is reaching tender flesh
lustfully i cut your hear from neck
panic, butcher
bleeding for my need
never enter my hunting-ground
`cause i get you and i smash you down
i cut you, slash you till your death
i slice your heart and steal your breath
the hunt is on!
manhunt is on!
i slaughter you, i slice your throat apart
i punish you, your neverreesting soul
gruesome, black and obscure night
entirely i have given death's delight
panic, butcher
bleeding for my need
you and me - the chosen ones
the hunt is on!
