1. Reject Existence

Submit to me, worship me
Let me crawl under your skin
Like a needle in your vein
Injecting perversion, spreading disdain

Obey to me, follow me
Let me show you what I see
Your words to me count less than zero
Slit your wrists, become a hero

Drown into abuse, life is a sore
Your body trashed, fucked like a whore
Exit purity, welcome corruption
Orgasm into the womb of perdition

Reject existence

Listen to me, trust in me
Let me infect your well-being
Masturbate to the thought of death
Longing to experience your last breath

Glorify me, adore me
Let your departure finally be
Abandon your family and kill all your friends
With open arms embrace your own end

Fuck this existence and fuck this world
Reject the will to live and grow old
Deny your future, refuse tomorrow
Eliminate your source of sorrow

Reject existence

Despise the living, support your own death
Destroy your life, accept no regret
Welcome the negative, oppose no resistance
Remove this burden, reject existence

Reject existence.


2. Shutter

Shutter – where have you gone when the storm has come?
Run away as always, your pride asleep won’t hurt
I’ve seen a thousand faces, all void as yours
I’ve seen a thousand lives, all gone as yours

Now – the curtain falls
Upon the deeds of yours
And leaves the bitter taste of absence

Shutter – where have you gone when your turn has come?
An empty seat remains, the stench of coward fills the air
Another teenage angst, another waste of life
The prototype of failure, a human piece of junk

Now – the curtain falls
Upon the deeds of yours
And leaves the bitter taste of nothingness

Shutter – close your eyelids to the world
So you cannot see what you became
A prisoner of life

A prisoner of your own life.


3. Downlift

Challenge me again, you think you are a king
Wanna flying high but you won’t go far
With those burnt-out wings

Save your lies ‘cause I know
You’re the one to blame
You’re running out of luck
Here comes the pain

Downlift
Drag you under
Into the shit where you belong
Downlift
I’m cutting you down, cutting you down
Down to size
Forever – permanently

Drag you down – you’re gonna hit the ground
You better watch your back
I’ll slit your throat without a sound

I got some plans for you
And nuthin’ fancy’s coming your way
Go ahead scumbag, make my day

Downlift
Drag you under
Into the shit where you belong
Downlift
I’m cutting you down, cutting you down
Down to size
Forever – permanently

Challenge me again, you think you are a king
Wanna flying high but you won’t go far
With those burnt-out wings

Bred and born in southern Europe
(I’m) a pissed-off motherfuck
Don’t mess with the working class
Spoilt brat, kiss my wop ass.


4. I Wanna Be Your Dog

So messed up
I want you here
In my room
I want you here
Now we're gonna be
Face-to-face
And I'll lay right down
In my favorite place

And now I wanna
Be your dog
Now I wanna
Be your dog
Now I wanna
Be your dog
Well c'mon

Now I'm ready
To close my eyes
And now I'm ready
To close my mind
And now I'm ready
To feel your hand
And lose my heart
On the burning sands

And now I wanna
Be your dog
And now I wanna
Be your dog
Now I wanna
Be your dog
Well c'mon


5. Joyless

From down beneath the subway crawling up in you
The time has come to pay depression overdue

When your disguise is proved untrue
The end is near, the day is through
Leave this world behind
Your joyless ghost has made you blind

Exploiting sadness, complaining in your endless strife
Feel sorry for yourself is all you've ever done in life

When your disguise is proved untrue
The end is near, the day is through
Leave this world behind
Your joyless ghost has made you blind

Drowning into endless waves
Self pity sick - You dwell in your disgrace

Broadcasting your teenage angst
Is all that gets you high
Your fucking failure now reveals so bright

When your disguise is proved untrue
When bitterness is overdue
Feel sorry for yourself
Is all you chose to show 'bout yourself

When your disguise is proved untrue
The end is near, the day is through
Leave this world behind
Your joyless ghost has made you blind


6. Under Saturn Retrograde Part I

Drifting through black waters
Our skies are rotting everlasting

Ill souls domain
Catalyst of pain
Born under a bad star
A place where no joy remains

Spawn of Saturn
Fuck life – we’re under Saturn retrograde

Deathwish for the uplifted
Your hopes are drowning all the way down

Destination: nothingness
A place where no tomorrow exists
When you thought the worst has come
You was fucking wrong

Ill souls domain
Catalyst of pain
Born under a bad star
A place where no joy remains

Spawn of Saturn
Fuck life – we’re under Saturn retrograde.

8. You Can't Kill Who's Already Dead

Stay away from me, I'm all you despise
I'm the one who enjoys the suffering in your eyes
What do you think you have to share with me?
I hate myself, I hate you all but you can't see

Can't you see? I'm already dead
I've died a thousand times
So many crosses fill my eyes
And if we haven't met before
I can bet I won't see you anymore

A nihilistic lifestyle, a southern discomfort
This pretty city is built on a river full of blood
Downtrodden future, a miserable prick
Neglect the happiness, glorify the sick

Can't you see? I'm already dead
I've died a thousand times
So many crosses fill my eyes
And if we haven't met before
I can bet I won't see you anymore

You can't kill who's already dead
You can't kill who's already dead

I have watched my friends
Dragging my blue corpse ashore
I revived to fuck your smiles
And mock you forevermore

From a place between
The big river and the concrete sky
I've returned for retribution
Harm yourself and your loved ones tonight

You can't kill who's already dead
You can't kill who's already dead
You can't kill who's already dead
You can't kill who's already...


9. Spectres Over Venice

Lost among this waves
Brought to you again
A splendour of decadence
Still feels like I've been there before

Mesmerized spirit-like
Through dark paths at night

Like a Kinski nightmare
A ravishing atmosphere
Melancholy enthroned
When carnival is gone we're all alone

In the darkness
Shipways are silent, only the wind howls
And the echoes of ghosts
Screaming voicelessly to me

Mesmerized spirit-like
Through dark paths at night

Like spectres over Venice

Laguna arise and take my grief away
Her breeze caresses me
And leaves my soul to wander forever

I wonder what this cold life
Will bring on my way
How things will be
When I'll walk through this city one day
One day
