When You Die
02:47

|

All your life you have obeyed the rules
All that time you lived your life by the book
Or so you kept telling yourself
And you never listened to what anybody else said
Now here you are
With nobody on your side
You’ve spent all this time
Building a massive wall around yourself
You don’t even try
To make sense of any of this
It’s easier to sing yourself to sleep
With a lullaby of lies
Every life has so much potential
An entire world out there is waiting for you
So many wounds to mend
We are not supposed to increase their number
Look how you have wasted so many opportunities
To make this world a better place
You have spent your time alienating others from yourself
You ended up being on your own
You live in a delusion
Of being a decent guy
But let me ask you the question:
Who will cry for you when you die?

Blind Faith
03:31
|
|

Dedicate yourself
To follow the pack
Ask nothing
Just accept the doctrines
Obey the rule
Of the supreme leader
As if your eternal fate
Depended on it
What started as a revelation
Becomes a nightmare
A downward spiral
A tunnel with no bright end
You got lucky
You found your way out
Found a second chance
For a life of sanity
As it looks that chance
Did not last for long
You exchanged one nightmare
For another
Another supreme leader
Of a similar nature
A slightly different building
On the same foundation
What started as a revelation
Becomes a nightmare
A downward spiral
A tunnel with no bright end
You need to find the way out
Once and for all
Exchange the heavy burden
For the easy yoke
Open your eyes
Renounce the blind faith
You’ve put in false idols
That cannot save you
Open your eyes
Renounce the blind faith
You have a much better life in store
Don’t throw it away

Herald of Hell
03:39
|
|
||
Your words are smooth
Soothing itching ears
Your tongue speaks eloquently
You’re a delight to hear
Too bad it is so
Only on the surface
What lies behind is
Rotten to the core
The shiny apple
You are offering
Is drenched
In deadly poison
It takes
A single careless bite
For a man
To fall down
Your persuasive words
Are meant to deceive
If possible
Even the strongest of men
What may sound like the heavenly choir of angels
Is really a chant of unclean demons from the pits of hell
The bright figure you see posing as the angel of light
Is in fact the old arch enemy, the father of all lies
The speech you’re delivering
Is meant to lure our souls away
You act like a messenger of heaven
But you are a herald of hell

Drain
03:28
|
|
||
Emptying one bucket after another
Into what seems a bottomless pit
With nothing to sustain the cycle
Your reserve is getting drained
This creature has an unquenchable thirst
That can never be satisfied
It will not stop until it squeezes
The last ounce of energy out of you
You have done all in your power
There is nothing more that you could offer
Self-pity, a deadly disease
When the patient rejects the cure
You have done all in your power
There is nothing more that you could offer
Self-pity, a deadly disease
When the patient rejects the cure
Sever the tie, unchain yourself
You are worth much more than this
Time to regain control over your life
And recharge the batteries

Fire in the Hole
03:09
|
|

A storm is raging
I see the floods rise
I feel I am losing my foothold
It is hard to resist the tide
A storm is raging
I see the floods rise
I feel I am losing my foothold
It is hard to resist the tide
Buildings collapse
Everything around me gets soaking wet
I am trying to keep my head up
Above the rising waters
The fire supposed to keep me warm
Is no longer burning
I can no longer see the embers glimmer
It’s getting cold inside
My heart feels numb
I cannot stay this way
This death will not be the end of me
My heart must re-ignite
The spark of life must catch fire again
The God-shaped hole in me
Is getting filled again
With fuel from above
Now fires rage within
Let them consume the rotten ways
Unclean thoughts of the past
The way forward is clear
Following the pillar of smoke ahead

The Great Purge
02:51
|
|
||
The guests have arrived
Some uninvited
Some others have outstayed
Their welcome
Time to make inventory
To see who is to stay
And to whom
The door must be shown
My house, my rules
I’m not your fool
My house, my rules
If I want to, I give you the boot
My house, my rules
I’m not your fool
My house, my rules
Better off without you
