2. Godpuppet
Souls, damned and deserted.
Waiting for the lord to call. Sheep
who lost their shepherd, Your God
deceived you all. Look who he left
in charge. The ill-conceived bastard
son. Left to die on the cross.
For what, for whom? I am al
l sins
God Puppet
Religious disease. I hold the
answers that you seek. Trade your
life for an addiction. I'll drain your
mind and fuck your soul
Spawned by the lord of darkness
And raised by the whore of the
angels. I've been sent to rape you
all. I am all sins, God Puppet. God
Puppet. Sheep who lost their shepherd.
Your God betrayed you all.
(Go!)
God Puppet. You fucking God Puppets.
I am all sins
3. Shadow Land
Worn out - A broken, fucked-up
mind. An empty shell of life con-
scious, breathing, feeling. Forced
on society's back - nailed to the
freakshow cross.
Submissive lever raging through
the veins. Distorting the values
set by us all. You've lost all con-
trol. Immoral machines all pleas-
ure & greed.
Shadow World
Liquify the senses and inhale the
poison. A way to find the path to
divinity. Arise from filth, always
fought for what you believed in
The crystal saviour will help you
on your way
Distorting the values set by us
all. You've lost all control
Immoral machines of pleasure &
greed.
Shadow World
Slipping away into a twisted state
of grace. The pain ignites my
growth. Nightmare closing in,
bleeding and begging for an end
to come. The spawn of a shadow
world. Shadow world. Distorting
the values set by us all. You've
lost all control. Immoral
machines of pleasure & greed.
Shadow world. Shadow world.
4. Everlasting
As I'm crawling through the rem-
nants of life, you poison my soul
And leave me bleeding on the
ground.
I try to get back on my feet
But I'm still nailed to the edge
I'm still nailed...
A sickness breeds inside my
mind. The seed of my own cre-
ation. I'm standing at the edge
With no fear of falling. The pres-
ent is my future. And the future is
my past. So divine, the other side
I'm not afraid. My filth pollutes
your life, I feel ashamed.
As I'm running through the
remains. Just dying for that final
plunge. Now standing at the edge
With no fear at all. Every new
beginning comes from somebody
else's end. A leap away from the
other side, I'm not afraid. With
broken wings I try to fly. I feel
ashamed.
Fuck it, I'll push you !!
So divine, the other side, I'm not
afraid. With broken wings I try to fly
I feel ashamed. Forever falling. I'm
everlasting
5. D.O.A.
Voices break the silence. Shadows
infect the white-clad walls. Death is
breathing down your neck.
Yoy try ty flee. Forced into submis-
sion. You try to repent. A strip of
tape that kills the screams. You
know this is the end. Surgical steel
twist the flesh. The hand of doom
carves out the mesh.
D.O.A.
- What more when you're dead on arrival?
- What more when you're dead on arrival?
Doped up soul-Senses numb.
Fluids burst into flames. Every high
is a new low. In these vermin-infest-
ed streets. Chained to the altar of
debt. The breed of your sins. Nailed
to the cross of guilt. The spawn of
your greed. A strip of tape that kills
the screams. A deep inspired - The
circle is complete.
D.O.A.
- What more when you're dead on
arrival?
- What more when you're dead on
arrival?
- What more when you're dead on
arrival?

7. Urban Predator
Sature the souls of a virgin land.
A nation on its knees by its own naive
beliefs. Feasting on the flesh of our starving
whore. Idly looking on as it bites once
more. Fallen sanctuary stripped off. God,
now worship dogs. Where porno mags
replaces the bible. Who can save us now?
Self-inflicted madness. Run in circles,
come on catch your tail. He's gone hunting,
hunting for humans. Our urban carnivore.
Stone! The one who speaks of justice.
Rape! The one who cries for freedom. Exit
the dreams of full remorse. Enter the urban
predator. Exit the dreams of full remorse.
Enter the urban predator. Still we want our
shit to add up.
Just don't like what it adds up to.
Society's fading foes were first in line &
last to know.
Concede the surplus killing. Clear the
table now roll the dice. Pass the matches,
join the feast. Utopia in flames. Time is the
fire in which we burn. Home, depraved and
tainted from the life we lead. Exit the
dreams of full remorse. Enter the urban
predator. Exit the dreams of full remorse.
Ravished by the urban predator. Concede
the surplus killing. Clean the table now roll
the dice.
Pass the matches, join the feast. Utopia
alight.
Exit the dreams of full remorse
Enter the urban predator
Exit the dreams of full remorse
Ravished by the urban predator
Exit the dreams of full remorse
Enter the urban predator
Enter the urban predator
Ravished
8. Downward Spiral
Falling. Leaving my plague behind.
Cannot live this futile lie.
Resurrected. Immune to your poison.
The world that I see [has] lost its
creed [where] sin speaks through the
wicked hell repossessed by those
who burn with the guilt of being
born.
Trapped ! Trapped in this down-
ward spiral. A vicious circle of lies
Fuelled with revenge. Now I'm
repossessing what's mine
Another beating, can't move at all
With sweet forgiviness you'll take
the toll. Rise! Fight back! It's all
within the mind. Trapped ! Trapped
in this downward spiral. A vicious
circle of lies. Laugh at your foe. Now
I'm repossessing what's mine.
Thrust the blade. Into this corroded
world. Laugh at your foe. While you
set his spirit free.
Pain! Guilt! Hatred!
Revelations of a dying world. Raise
your fists in anger. Fight back !
Elevate in the hierarchy. Reserve the
line of command.
I've been burnt by the fire within
Fallen. Left my plague behind. Won't
succumb to the futile lies.
Resurrected. I will not give in.
Trapped ! Trapped in this downward
spiral. A vicious circle of lies. Hell
repossessed. I've been burnt by the
fires within. Escaping this downward
spiral. Free to breath again. Only to
return once more.
9. Shithead
Soulless and resurrected. Hiding
where hate resides. I've died in as
many ways. As you can say die.
Infertile Tries. Still I compromise
to meet your master's will. Tarnished
veins, eternal pain. Now innocence
is fading, is fading...
Into my infernal dreams of passion.
That I appease with deeds of sin. You
got your wings from the angels
divine. I stole mine from flies that died.
Needle lies. Holds our demise.
Seems every day has lost its thrill. I
damn the voices inside my head.
Now sanity is fading.
Death lurks where life is cheap
I won't betray what rules my mind -
Shithead! I'm convinced my life
returns in time - Shithead!
My roots beneath your skin
In your guilt I nest. Face the truth
that lies ahead. Alive or dead.
Infertile cries. Still I compromise to
meet your master's will. A feedle life
is a life undone. All that's life is
finally dying. Death lurks where life
expire. I can't betray what rules my
mind - Shithead! Still convinced my
life returns in time - Shithead! Life's
but a dress rehearsal for hell. I'm
convinced my life returns in time -
Shithead!
Infertile cries. Still I compromise
to meet your master's will. Tarnished
veins, eternal pain. Now innocence
is fading, is fading.
Death lurks where life is cheap
I must betray what rules my mind -
Shithead!
Now I know my life will return in
time - Shithead!
10. Bloodletting
The streets of broken dreams await
the darkness. To bring new souls
along for the ride. Another statistic
on the sidewalk. Found his peace at
last. In your stare, lost innocence.
Seen all the misery of this world.
Lonely ghosts escaping a dismal
past
Another statistic on the sidewalk
Found this peace at last.
It's my final bloodletting
In your stare, lost innocence. Seen
all the misery of this world. The
hangman's laughter echoes in the
alleys of the dead.
Put an end to the manic frustration.
Find my peace at last. Put an end to
this manic frustration.Find my peace
at last.
Shed the blood that runs through my
veins. Bloodletting. When you bleed
seek salvation in me. When you bleed
seek salvation in me.
11. One Kill Wonder
I stab you in the face just to let the
world know how I feel. Can you
sense my pain? I am not scared to die,
just biding time. No escape from the
raging fires. I'll set this world alight
just for you.
Desire
Face death sublime. My soul so dark
and hollow. Moulded by destructive
hands. Can you take the pain? Bury
you with your saviour. Foetal pose in
a pool of blood. I'll set my world
alight just for you.
Desire
Face death sublime. Fuel the fire.
One kill wonder. One kill.
I feel the hatred rise within me.
Fulfil my need and watch you die.
Can you feel my pain? I guess you
can - Right up to the fuckin' hilt. Left
behind for the world to know. My
Terror - Now the tide has turned
I said the tide has turned. Desire
Face death sublime. One kill wonder.
One kill
