2. Walker Of Worlds (Dehumanized Part II)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Walker of worlds
Filled with men
Celtic tradition
Human forms will burn
Grotesque male formed starue
Structured maze of wood
Hundreds die by fire
Human forms will burn

Skin drips off like wax
The stench of burning blood
Their final experience
Cauterized 'till death
Reality is illusion
I have broken through
Soul will survive
To walk the dark path

Giant wooden skeleton
Prison walls in human form
Wickerman
Human forms will burn
Walker of worlds
Exchange of dimension
Going to where's no god
Just darkness and desire

Human forms will burn


3. Dehumanized
++++++++++++++
Haunted with fear
Watch the others die
Experience of fear
Human forms will burn

Dehumanizing beings
Fill the wickerman
Celtic folk tradition
Human forms will burn

I cannot believe
I deserve this fate
Others did it too
Hundreds of them are here

Giant wooden statue
Filled with criminals
Exterior beauty
Hundreds will die tonights

Smell of burning flesh
Entering my brain
Skin turns to black
Blood boils, Death

REPEAT I


5. Lost Remembrance
+++++++++++++++++++
I set my foot in my cottage
Eyes attracted by human debris
Floorboards covered in spinal fluids
Oozing liquid putresence
Open the fridge; gory sight
Human remains; total disgust
Mummified body concealed
Rotting corpse beneath

Digging up corpses from remote graves
Deathmasks fill every space on the wall
Walking through the house dressed in human skin
Wearing them for hours for peculiar thrills

Am I the source of these human remains
My mind is blank, eternal haze
I cannot remember the things I've done
Lost remembrance, consiousness gone


6. Zombies
++++++++++
Totally controlled
It has filled your mind
Attracted all your feelings
Caught you from behind
Keeps away the thoughts
From your consious life
Removes all the pleasure
Hurts you like a knife

No emotions in your face
Apathetic creature
A zombie (that's what you are)
And you are on your own
Tell me there's a way
For me to take away your pain
Fill me in on the horrors
That haunt your brain

ZOMBIES!!

REPEAT VERSE I TWO TIMES


7. Havoc
++++++++
We fight on this field of honour
Maimed bodies everywhere
We mystify our feelings
Thinking anyone cares
This mystical sphere
Malice of the mind
We will soon die here
Our bodies they won't find

They call this a field of honour
But I just feel pain
Four of us against an army
It is just insane
Malediction of the mind
We're the tyrants quarries
Fairy massacre
Is there life beyond death

The tyrants soldiers
Try to pierce my heart
My armour won't last for long
Mind and body will part
Blood enters my mouth
I try to scream
I see blood everywhere
Is this true or just a dream


8. Relics
+++++++++
Walls covered in bloodstains
Door bolted from the inside
Bedclothes ripped off
Tangled in bloodstained garments
Raw mass of human flesh
Once it was a woman
Cold blooded experiment
Deformed anatomy

Ears and nose had been ripped off the corpse
Pharynx torn
Facial features obliterated
Lower portion of the body
Including the uterus had been cut out
Removed and lacerated

On the table beside the bed
Like two pieces of meat... sickly placed
Those mounds of flesh proved to be the victims breasts

Symmetrically arranged
Her heart and kidneys
Bits of flesh hanging from picture frame nails

Ten weeks came to a climax
Killing number eight
Cruel bestiality


9. Engraved In Black
++++++++++++++++++++
There's no turning back
Back out of life
Life's adversity
A grotesque contradiction

Drowning in hope
Hope gets distorted
Distorted mental state
Feel the pain of life

I hold in contempt
Those without thoughts
A stupid kind of happyness
Not aware of what's to come

CHORUS
Scarce moment of joy
To good to be true
Feelings lighten up
Who will take it away

Thinking you've got friends
Feeling good inside
Comparative moments
Of joy will fade away
Gaining feelings
It feels so good inside
Comparative moments of joy
Will be taken away

CHORUS

People surrounding me
Don't understand my ways
Forcing myself into depression

CHORUS

Going through a mental hell
Bust up my own mind
Comparative moment of joy
Has been taken away
Time after time
Things seem so different
Don't grow attached to people
They'll take it all away
