Marching into darkness, under bloody flags Into the land of unknown enemies Into the wars, into the riots For the sake of your leaders Sacrificing a million souls Mindless killing on and on Sacrificing all that‘s worth You watch it burn, you watch it die A whole world bleeding to death Thrown into the fire Blackened is the soul Thrown into the fire War shall take its toll This world is a permanent slaughterhouse Benighted slaves digging their own graves Exchanging peace for the sword Sorrow creeps throughout your soul Betrayed by your leaders Burning corpses litter the fields Glory and honour now forgotten In this graveyard we call life You watch it burn, you watch it die A whole world bleeding to death Thrown into the fire Blackened is the soul Thrown into the fire War shall take its toll The cities drown in bloodbaths All the world‘s a cemetery Beyond blood red horizons Another storm is coming Another war! Thrown into the fire Blackened is the soul Thrown into the fire War shall take its toll Thrown into the fire Blackened is the soul Thrown into the fire War shall take its toll

Burn the barriers and illusions Conformity is treacherous No means to the end, no where else to go Embracing oblivion Black sails set for a distant horizon Will never feel the wind The carrier of hope Blinded by false believes Man is feeding on atrocities Praying victims, indignity The source of inhumanity The last note is played and the sirens fall silent No one could ever see what is meant to be Insanity Rewriting history with a false prophecy A gripping fear is in our hearts Replacing last remains Of grace, solace and dignity Nothing remains Blinded by false believes Man is feeding on atrocities Praying victims, indignity The source of inhumanity Blinded by false believes Man is feeding on atrocities Praying victims, indignity The source of inhumanity Last of us crying Last of us bleeding Last of us fighting A senseless war against the shackles of destiny Against the bonds of humanity Blinded by false believes Man is feeding on atrocities Praying victims, indignity The source of inhumanity Blinded by false believes Man is feeding on atrocities Praying victims, indignity The source of inhumanity

Harbouring a sad despair Rooted deep within the soul The mind is such a fragile and deceptive waste of time Too much pressure building up inside A simple plan eradicating the scourge Slit the throats of those opposing Standing in your way and dictating your life Choking on the stench of reason Piling up the remnants of treason Pissing on the rules of society When seeing red Combining frustration and a desolated mind The feeling of futility is one of a kind Reaching highest limits, just to fall down The Error Code, the sinner‘s crown Channeling the madness Letting go all control Fear is such bewitching and tempting addiction Piece by piece I will show them salvation Purification in the way of hell Slit the throats of those opposing Standing in your way and dictating your life Choking on the stench of reason Piling up the remnants of treason Pissing on the rules of society When seeing red Combining frustration and a desolated mind The feeling of futility is one of a kind Reaching highest limits, just to fall down The Error Code, the sinner‘s crown We‘re depraved by senseless agony So weed out the weak The solution, never-ending tragedy The Error Code Choking on the stench of reason Piling up the remnants of treason Pissing on the rules of society I‘m seeing red! Combining frustration and a desolated mind The feeling of futility is one of a kind Reaching highest limits, just to fall down The Error Code, the sinner‘s crown Combining frustration and a desolated mind The feeling of futility is one of a kind Reaching highest limits, just to fall down The Error Code, the sinner‘s crown

Life is too hard to stand strong And every reason means a sacrifice Consume the feces of the swarm Adapt Follow me to paradise Away from hate and their lies Every day will be the same It‘s the end of suffering and pain Strike the hammer down And see what I see A golden paradise Come down with me Strike the hammer down And feel what I feel A painless life Come down Come down with me Staring straight into the empty skies Feeling trapped and molested You cannot close your eyes The world seems to matter no more You‘re standing at the threshold of existence This is your final step It‘s the end of suffering and pain Strike the hammer down And see what I see A golden paradise Come down with me Strike the hammer down And feel what I feel A painless life Come down Come down with me Push Push Push Push Push the plunger down Feel the pulse in your veins Push the plunger down Fighting your pain A devouring hunger feasting on your soul Setting ablaze the last remainder of your inner self Piece by piece you are torn and shred On the search for another reality Euphoria, the pinnacle of your obsession Strike the hammer down And see what I see A golden paradise Come down with me Strike the hammer down And feel what I feel A painless life Come down Come down with me

Piling up new pain onto the old The thought of suicide weighs like gold The spark of creation becomes an inferno I feel it growing stronger every day Look into the mirror See the worthless scum Look into the mirror Here comes the pain again Ein Leben ohne jeglichen Wert Du kämpfst ganz allein Einsam wie die Sonne am Firmament Die in der eigenen Glut verbrennt A bittersweet melody A melancholic harmony Nothing will be the same again Death is grinning at you Look into the mirror See the worthless scum Look into the mirror Here comes the pain again Ein Leben ohne jeglichen Wert Du kämpfst ganz allein Einsam wie die Sonne am Firmament Die in der eigenen Glut verbrennt Here comes the pain again Come inside and suffer Here comes the pain again A quiet depression Einsam, einsam und so allein Ein Leben ohne jeglichen Wert Du kämpfst ganz allein Einsam wie die Sonne am Firmament Die in der eigenen Glut verbrennt Deine Sonne, sie verglüht

Scars Of Old 04:01
The fear cuts deep, deep into our flesh We try to build walls against the pain Our hearts bleeding black Ignorance, intolerance The wounds we‘ve caused ourselves Symbols of our coming demise Premonition of imminent disaster Imposing the darkness on our lives We suffer in silence Our hearts bitter and cold We break, we bleed From scars of old The wretchedness inside of us A dark seed entangled all throughout our lives All is wasted, wasted and gone  Sadness will play its mighty song We bite our own flesh To feel what is left of our self esteem An endless circle of disillusion Here comes the sin again We suffer in silence Our hearts bitter and cold We break, we bleed From scars of old Wounds of sorrow and sadness Wounds of sin and sacrifice Full of blemish, frailty and decay Built by pain - never fade away Our wounds never fade away We suffer in silence Our hearts bitter and cold We break, we bleed From scars of old

Tyrant saviour spreading his lies Mourning scenes A burning paradise Rage and hate are the pillars of our poisoned existence The heritage of cain still misleading every step we take Amongst the blinded drones the wolves are lying in wait No morality They spread the oldest of all lies From the ancient ashes An old force reborn To control the masses Violence conquering the world Corrupted sons of cain Words of propaganda hammered in your head Your mind controlled by a parasitic false messiah Disguised behind those empty words of purity You chose to follow lies Chose to follow meaningless idols They spread the oldest of all lies From the ancient ashes An old force reborn To control the masses Violence conquering the world From the ancient ashes An old force reborn To control the masses Violence conquering the world You are one of a thousand manipulated souls Like puppets on a string Brainwashed Without a will Mindless tools for those who know no compromise To hell with your prophets and preachers From the ancient ashes An old force reborn To control the masses Violence conquering the world From the ancient ashes An old force reborn To control the masses Violence conquering the world

Where the void is eternal And sorrow is internal I am inside this void Where silence screams louder and louder No matter how I try, all descends Whispers sound like hopeless screams The weakness takes control Freezing into endless pain The emptiness of time I hear silence roar My life has no tomorrow The silence sings a sad refrain In this shell of sorrow My heart longs for the end Panic embraces my soul, cloaks my eyes Guilt and shame The wounds I bear Left scars within I am sorrow and sorrow is me Whispers sound like hopeless screams The weakness takes control Freezing into endless pain The emptiness of time I hear silence roar My life has no tomorrow The silence sings a sad refrain In this shell of sorrow Whispers sound like hopeless screams The weakness takes control Freezing into endless pain The emptiness of time I hear silence roar My life has no tomorrow The silence sings a sad refrain In this shell of sorrow

The old tune of lust and pain Brings pure and sorrowful dismay The scorched earth breaks open With a loud and triumphant sigh Dying stars enlighten the sky A night without armor Starless skies so drear Voices of dead are calling Faces full of fear Fading memories clinging to existence Revealing anxiety, the demons of the heart This dirty collection of countless imperfections Drowning in stagnation, in a world of frustration A night without armor Starless skies so drear Voices of dead are calling Faces full of fear Embracing world fire The memories, the melodies, the symphonies Extinguished A night without armor Starless skies so drear Voices of dead are calling Faces full of fear A night without armor Dawning of the last day Voices of dead are calling Proclaiming eternal decay
