1.INTRO


2.SCORCHING BREATH
(T.Bauer)
++++++++++++++++++
Flames of fire destryoing the world's delusion
your own created nightmare stabs you to death
listen to your hipocrisy,your everlasting false belief
holy ground,a holy grave  divine fate by divine grace
Deathly pallor  funeral cortege  mass extermination  the scorching breath
greedy death mask  greeping barrage  deadly termination  the scorching breath
War-demons,demolition  deep,down from the infernal regions
your dreams of dread  will take you soon to the dead
Deathly pallor  funeral cortege  mass extermination  the scorching breath
greedy death mask  greeping barrage  deadly termination  the scorching breath
From pride to the fall - the way is very short
the scorching breath takes the world apart
Deathly pallor  funeral cortege  mass extermination  the scorching breath
greedy death mask  greeping barrage  deadly termination  the scorching breath
Naked skeletons piled up like stackled wood
iced sea of depression numbed with cold and fear
awaiting fatal destiny,with disillusioned disbelief
holy ground,a holy grave  divine fate by divine grace
War-demons,demolition  deep,down from the infernal regions
your dreams of dread  will take you soon to the dead
Deathly pallor  funeral cortege  mass extermination  the scorching breath
greedy death mask  greeping barrage  deadly termination  the scorching breath


3. DELIVERANCE
(T.Bauer,M.Roderer,M.Schwarz)
++++++++++++++
Frozen minded out from the ashes  see my face in the dust
Magic structures,human madness  apocalyptic trance
The battle rages from day to day  endless night begins
darkened landscape,left behind  saturated with blood
All life is lost - in misery  upon the earth - storm rages on
into nothingness - crimson rain covers the earth
impure mankind - perished in pain but still raising the dead
Wasted genius and wasted land  how great was your gain?
The answer is: self-impotance  never ask for forgiveness
All life is lost - in misery  no one cares - when the reaper laughs:
"Into my world - I guide your life to eternity
sorrow and sadness - pain is the law  and love is the crime"
Deliverance
Depth of terror,depth of horror  lost eden pays its price
perveyor of distress,from the abyss  thy will be done!
Impure mankind - the lost chapter is over now!
Into nothingness - nothing is gained,nothing is camed!
Deliverance!  "Come to my world!"  Deliverance!..From mankind!


4.BLOOD-STAINED PROPHECY
(M.Roderer,T.Bauer)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
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 savour  the last supper prepared
Blood-stained prophecy
A lifeless son is your idol  your act of grace is death
centuries of forced conversion  word of god declined
Your tongues speak about mercy  but your prophecy is pain
narcissism and divine benediction  won't save you from ordeal
Blood-stained prophecy


5.LOVE IS DEAD
(T.Bauer,M.Roderer)
++++++++++++++
I feel a cold breath of wind  black sky in morning 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,let me fade away
Love is dead
I walk through desert fields  black ravens surrounding me
I have no more rest 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


6.WE ARE DEGENERATION
(M.Schwarz,M.Roderer)
+++++++++++++++++++++
Degenerate!
We are degeneration
Your downfall is our arm  we suck your brain  we bring 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


7.WILLENSKRAFT
(M.Roderer,T.Bauer,M.Schwarz)
++++++++++++++
Hass  und feuer  tod im  wahnsinn
Kraft  und wille  geben mir den sinn
Willenkraft  der menschenhass


8.FOR EVER AND A DAY
(M.Roderer,T.Bauer)
++++++++++++++++++++
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  eternla dusk my dungeon and desire
Shadows - dark face in autumnal tints  covering me,lost in immortality
Crossing the old bridge  like one thousand times before
sadness,autumn 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 haunting me
for ever and a day  death is the salvation
Stamping underwood down  plot revenge that hills
leaving life behind  sowing death and thrills
I saw one million faces  I saw one million deaths
colours are in dark-grey  veil of emptiness
Sorrow - I'm dead-tired,tired of life  eternla 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 haunting me
for ever and a day  death is the salvation
Sorrow in shadows  soulful but soulless  throughout time and space
misanthropic race  manhunting,echoin 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 haunting me
for ever and a day  death is the salvation


9.SEAL OF SECRECY
(M.Roderer)
+++++++++++++++++
A deep grey misery  creche a poor and dirty cage
dreams of wonderland  will never came true in this world
Burn into this misery  never knowing any reason why
covering on the dirty floor  bed-ridden,beaten - every day
...Under the seal of secrecy
Eyes full of pain  belonging to the weather sea
staring into space  so many years of hopelessness
In prison without any guilt  the children of no home and no 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


10.DOWN BELOW
(M.Roderer)
+++++++++++++
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 earth
seven continents are bleeding  seven seas in red
Posterity will never find  rapture of 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 beyond there are no rules  survival of the fittest
In the still of the night  world torn to shreds
seven continents are gone  seven seas are dead
Eclipse of the moon  down below  phantasmagoric creation  down below
...Down on earth!


11.THE HUNT
(M.Roderer)
+++++++++++
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 end
Nervously your skin is turning wet  merciless I stab you in the back
steel of sword is reaching tender flesh  lustfully I cut your head 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 neverresting 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!
