From My Cold Dead Hands

Floating in the depths of a blackened space Haunted spirits doomed to search — forever be enslaved Curse the void as it slays the dying rays of light One by one the stars all fall into a deathlike sleep In emptiness and solitude the cold tears and claws Ripping at the force of life — ripping it apart A dark and tortured universe – dominion of no laws The cycle's now complete — take us back to the start Nine dimensions of existence on the verge of collapse Cannibalistic super-novas transmigrate into black holes Storms of cosmic violence lay everything to waste One by one the galaxies implode In emptiness and solitude the cold tears and claws Ripping at the force of life ripping it apart A dark and tortured universe – dominion of no laws The cycle's now complete — take us back to the start Behold the astral darkness Morphing into nothingness Time has ceased to exist Space has been forlorn Behold the astral darkness Morphing into nothingness Time has ceased to exist Space has been forlorn The true nature of existence now revealed Nevermore to be concealed No! In emptiness and solitude the cold tears and claws Ripping at the force of life — ripping it apart A dark and tortured universe — dominion of no laws The cycle's now complete — take us back to the start

These battles that we choose When for ages we’ve been abused Through centuries and decades Imprisoned in our own rage No more agony in here The last outpost for you and me Stronger and stronger We march silently onward I'm stuck in this void Trapped in this forsaken maelstrom How were we to know The limits of temptation Yearning for your touch I can never get enough Broken hearts of glass so fragile The tidal waves of love In the shadow of death We try to endure Living in the ruins Of what we once knew Reaching out To you – one more time Fatigued I drown In your presence everlasting… I hunt in the dead of night alone Seeking further pleasures With a darkened mind, a heart of stone Aim to decrease this pressure What once was lost, now re-possessed Now forever part of me Like vultures in the sky Preying on those who bleed In the shadow of death We try to endure Living in the ruins Of what we once knew Reaching out To you – one more time Fatigued I drown In your presence everlasting… A raven on my shoulder Walk into an open grave My spirit is getting colder My soul a black hidden cave Burning from within Engulfed In my own despair Drowning Dark twin on my shoulder Crawl into a sombre womb My spirit is growing older My mind is bound to be my tomb Burning from within Engulfed In my own despair Drowning…drowning! In your presence everlasting.

If there was a bottom I wouldn't hit it Feeling of bone only amplifies the search for flesh Falling endlessly as in a dream Far beyond the obscene Mirror oh mirror — your lie enslaves me Complicates me Vindicates me Eradicates me Penetrates me Makes me lose my fucking self All must go None to spare I will persevere There is no end Flesh falls from the bone Amorphous being Drawing blood from stone This illusion of control Flesh falls from the bone Sick twisted creature This is no way to live It is a way to die If there was a limit I would push it Worshipping death to compensate lack of life Mind is hollow in an empty shell Cast under my own spell Salvation through starvation Glorification of degeneration Morbid fascination with transformation Slowmotion suicide Haze of binge Obsessive trance Compulsive anarchy Reign the kingdom of my mind Flesh falls from the bone Amorphous being Drawing blood from stone This illusion of control Flesh falls from the bone Sick twisted creature This is no way to live It is a way to die Turn the inside to outside Materialise the angst within Slowmotion suicide Too late once the heart gives in No one must ever know Just me and the blackened angels My splintered shadow-self My private demonology Lead me down into the abyss If there was a bottom I wouldn't hit it If there was a limit I would push it If there was a bottom I wouldn't see it If there was a limit I would crush it Binge and purge Catharsis I will persevere There is no end Flesh falls from the bone Amorphous being Drawing blood from stone This illusion of control Flesh falls from the bone Sick twisted creature This is no way to live It is a way to die All must disappear Transparent invisible Flesh-less ghost ideal Slowmotion suicide

I'm down but not out My back against the ropes Energy and sanity is draining from me Patience backfires into punishment Punishing the soul – suffocating Crying out – gasping for air Struggling forward in a race with no end No rest in sight though the darkness descends I've become a machine within a system of pain No escape, no way out — I'm a slave There's no humanity Just ruthless conformity Increasing complexity Living dead in these days that never end Walking through the flames to transcend Clenching my fist Upon survival insist Days without end No mercy given As the madness descends Stand in line to get fucked in the head Severe exhaustion — hanging on by a thread Time is never on my side anyway No need to worry — I can sleep in the grave Trials and tribulation Work ethic humiliation Feudal structure confirmation Living dead in these days that never end Walking through the flames to transcend Clenching my fist Upon survival insist Days without end No mercy given As the madness descends Day after day fly before my eyes All merge into a black grain Arrested freedom of the inner child Slave within a system of pain

With or against, no middleground — God on our side Preemptive attack – need no reasons why Cowboys with nukes, bulletproof — the media drools Prime time debauchery There's no avoiding war This is homeland security There's no avoiding war It can only be postponed To the advantage of others A well-oiled machinery Waging war is an industry Keep spinning the economy To reach Manifest Destiny No noble cause in sight Though winning the Noble Peace Prize might Validate the reason to dominate Geared by gain — beyond the insane Fire at will It has begun Now kingdoms come undone Fire at will Overlords of violence Raping all innocence Marching onward into the black – no turning back Politics of hysteria realized by - False-flag deceptions There's no avoiding war Sickening inbred corruption There's no avoiding war Only a matter of time And time is money War-gods of air, land, and sea Genocide for democracy Massmedial duplicity Theatre of grotesquery No noble cause in sight Just madmen power-drunk with lies Vindicate your treason Geared by gain — destroy the humane Fire at will It has begun Now kingdoms come undone Fire at will Overlords of violence Raping all innocence

Hiding in the shadows and feasting on your minds Never saw it coming, never saw the signs Illuminating darkness — rays of psychic reign Never see it coming — you'll never feel the pain Turned on since childhood now you're a slave Pacified by pleasure — conditioned to obey Descending into collective coma Comfortably dumb – high on apathy Can't live without this electronic soma Turn on – tune in — drop-dead God of sedation — god of the truth Curse us with your blessings Subliminal incision — carving without pain Overlords of transmission — ruling in the shadows As you're sleepwalking to the gallows Descending into collective coma Comfortably dumb — high on apathy Can't live without this electronic soma Turn on – tune in – drop-dead Conformity – the plague of the modern age The sheeple walk in line — those fools obey Paranoia and fear keep the ratings high Which makes the cash-flow tight Like the noose around your minds Like the blind lead the blind So empty inside From cradle to coffin From casket to ashes All is saved Eternally They saw it all Descending into collective coma Comfortably dumb — high on apathy Can't live without this electronic soma Turn on — tune in — drop-dead Say farewell to the times of old It's a brave new world For slaves that never know Sleep forever more

Tried to live by your ”God” but I failed in despair My cries echo out – is there anyone there Raging beyond control, above all sense and belief Woke up dead in the midst of a dream Dripping drunk from the visions obscene Help me, get me out of this insane dream I won't let go My hands grip desperately You'll have to take it From my cold dead hands From my cold dead hands Tried to live by your laws, but I spat in your face Screams of wrath echo out – scorn for the human race Losing all control, beyond all sense and belief Woke up dead in the midst of a dream Dripping drunk from the visions obscene Help me, get me out of this insane dream I won't let go My hands grip desperately You'll have to take it From my cold dead hands From my cold dead hands I am not like you And will never be You rip and you tear and try to steal my inner self Never! From my cold dead hands From my cold dead hands From my cold dead hands. Dripping drunk from the visions obscene Help me, get me out of this insane dream I won't let go My hands grip desperately You'll have to take it From my cold dead hands From my cold dead hands

”When you stare into the abyss – The abyss stares into you” Reeling at the edge I'm a stranger to myself Lost beyond space and time A sinister illusion feeding itself Within the mist of a tortured soul An imploding spirit is gasping for air As fear breeds fear of insane entrapment Entrapment within total nothingness Panic Silent panic Falling Endless falling Panic Silent panic Falling Endless falling Panic Silent panic Falling Endless falling Panic Silent panic Falling Endless falling Wandering aimless through a ghastly void On fields of desolation Running blind in a maze of the mind Lost in darkness and confusion Shut out! A storm of fear inside my skull Shut down! The system can not cope anymore Scream forth! Silent roar Cry out in despair But those bitter tears won't help me now. Jaws of reality are closing in My mind escapes me Ontological crisis ”I think – therefore I am” — What a hoax, such a scam Just a dream within a dream within a dream… Enter the nonexist A black emptiness Sickness of the weary soul Crushed existence Vanished into thin air Shut out! A storm of fear inside my skull Shut down! The system can not cope anymore Scream forth! Silent roar Cry out in despair But those bitter tears won't help me now. Alive but walking dead Regarding life as though beyond the tomb Lost in darkness and confusion Betrayed by an insane illusion Shut out! A storm of fear inside my skull Shut down! The system can not cope anymore Scream forth! Silent roar Cry out in despair But those bitter tears won't help me now.
