Deadlock
Hybris
1. Epitaph
Keep on struggling
With a world on your shoulders
A thin line between you
And this parasitic void
Breathe in
(And this parasitic void)
Bleed out
Your body's broken
Your senses collapsed
Perceive the absence
Of pure innocence
Fading
(Of this pure innocence)
Falling
With mouths open
We swallow
Each word ever spoken
Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way (no way)
Of denying (denying)
The words of my own death
The end of the line
It's coming closer
In sight
Retribution
Will take its place
Retaliation
Is my escape
Fading
(This is the end of my line)
Falling
(It's coming closer
In sight)
Retaliation
My line
Retribution
Will take place
Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way
Of denying
The words of my own death
This is the end of my line
Read the words of fate
Read the words of ruin
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way
Of denying
The words of my own death
It's written on my epitaph
There is no way
Of denying
The words of my own death
My own death
2. Carbonman
Once born within the same core
Death over life is what we adore
Acid clouds and iron skies
Out of the dead we will arise
We are all carbonmen
A universe in us
Forever in us
The Earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends
The triumph of the dead realm
Centuries of human decay
Aamon calls
We obey
We are all carbonmen
(Carbonmen)
A universe in us
Oh, Lord (oh, Lord), forgive us
The Earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends
We're all
We are all carbonmen
A universe in us
That's what we are
That's what we are
The Earth doesn't know who I am
Even though I am her carbonman
Finding back seems to be the only sense
Until my life slowly ends
The Earth does know who we are
A fellowship from the same star
Collapsed and exploded
Scattering our guts
A universe in us
That is what we are
What we are
That's precisely what we are
Just by being alive
3. Berserk
We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts
Maybe we ruined it
Our lives among the dead
Adapt and rearrange
The inner fight for words to curse
This is my final prayer
This is my final wish to bleed
Are we still alive?
Let's slit and see
Are we still alive?
Let's slit and see
So bear your agony
You spoke of friendship
But you meant worship
We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts
(x2)
Maybe we fought in vain
Our lives amongst the pain
Adapted in agony
The inner fight for words to solve
Maybe we fought in vain
Maybe we fought in vain
We are still alive
Why can't you see?
Are we still alive?
Let's slit and see
So bear your agony
You spoke of friendship?
Liar!
Oh, we met in blood and dust
From the beginning we were lost
Now in the end, all is bust
We found each other
In the dark
As we went berserk
With blackened hearts
…
With blackened hearts
With blackened hearts
4. Blood Ghost
A repent council
Feasting from night to day
No excuse, nor consciousness
Pure essence of decay
I speak the truth
A downfall cannot be beared
In dignity
My vicious nightmare
Still drenched in blood and lust
I'm breathing, yet suffocating
Memories to dust
Hold me
Please cure me from
The loneliness that constantly
Pulls me down
A repent council
Feasting from night to day
No excuse, nor consciousness
Pure essence of decay
There's a spark in the dark
I sense my inner fear
There's a path through my heart
I'll follow it, I'll reconcile
Hold me
Please cure me from
The loneliness that constantly
Pulls me down
'Cause when the bloodthirst hunts
'Cause when the bloodthirst hunts
'Cause when the bloodthirst hunts
I finally fade away
Lies sworn above all
This vicious circle
Consuming all my thoughts
Clenched within my chest
Until I'm dead
Sworn above all
Sworn above all
Hold me
Please cure me from
(Cure me from)
The loneliness that constantly
Pulls me down
When the bloodthirst hunts us all
I speak the truth
Lies sworn above
Lies sworn above
Lies sworn above
Lies sworn above all
5. Hybris
Let's die!
Say hello to your fate
The end comes closer
We ain't got nothing to hide
Through the spiral of hate
Let's ride
Carry on the serpents' will to kill
Is this the way of life
Accelerated
None of the dreams
We once created
None owns a heart
Seems we forgot about it
But our suffering becomes accomplished
Where is the way out of the dark
Where is my weapon
Is my heart
Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray and forgotten
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief
The release from this plague
When hell breaks loose
Boundaries burst
Into skies full of rage
Let's fly
Blood-red nights are the core
Is this the way of life
Accelerated
None of the dreams
We once created
Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray (astray) and forgotten (and forgotten)
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief
The end
Poising straight on the edges
Straight through the surface
Fading
Torn apart on the inside
Dead on the outside
Forgive us our sins
As we've forgiven those
Who sin against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
Forever pretend
Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray (astray) and forgotten (and forgotten)
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief
Astray and forgotten
Blown to the skies
Free of pain, doubt, and belief
Astray and forgotten
We stand in tears
Full of pain, doubt, no belief
6. Wrath / Salvation
Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation
Blood runs down
I lose control
My life fades
I can't feel no more
Hopefully
I will keep my soul
I'm bleeding through my common sense
My common sense
I die, my heart's shattered to ruins
Scattered dreams
Our time runs out
Our end will come
And I have no doubt
That deep inside
My broken heart
My heart, my very core
I'll slowly disappear
Born to obey
'Cause only ash remains
Sworn to decay
I give up, my eyes turn black
Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation
Relief will come, it's close
No matter how much you deny
I have finally found a way
To my last goodbye
My heart, my very core
Will let you slowly disappear
Born to obey
'Cause only ash remains
Sworn to decay
I give up, my eyes turn black
I'm falling down
I'm falling down
I'm falling to pieces
(x2)
I'm falling to pieces
To pieces
I'm falling to
Born to obey
This is my salvation
Sworn to decay
This is my salvation
Born to obey
Sworn to decay
7. Backstory Wound
This darkened
Path we've walked
Led us to nightmares
We're unable to escape
Time runs out
Souls are fading
In a world
Built on our betrayal
We saved a million lives, but there are more
Just by knowing there will be a cure
I can stay alive, keep going on
What have I become?
We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
We are blinded
By deadly venom
Jaws dripping
With saliva
In time we're born to beg and kneel
Our minds are formed from ash and greed
The sky opens its veins to bleed
All life seems so fragile to me
We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown
Can I hope for a better world?
Or should I pray for my soon death?
We saved a million lives
But there are many more
The world is crashing down
'Cause we think
We're wearing the crown
We're wearing the crown
But we don't wear this heavy crown
8. Ein Deutsches Requiem
Selig sind, die da Leid tragen,
denn sie sollen getröstet werden
Die mit Tränen säen,
werden mit Freuden ernten
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Ach wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen,
die doch so sicher leben
Der Gerechten Seele
keine Qual rühret sie an
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit,
aber ich will euch wiedersehen.
Euer Herz soll sich freuen,
eure Freude soll niemand von euch nehmen
Wir werden nicht alle entschlafen
zu der Zeit der letzten Posaune.
Der Tod ist verschlungen in den Sieg
Selig sind die Toten von nun an
Denn ihre Werke folgen ihnen nach...
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
hr habt nun Traurigkeit,
aber ich will euch wiedersehen.
Euer Herz soll sich freuen,
eure Freude soll niemand von euch nehmen.
Tod, wo ist dein Stachel?
Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
9. Vergebung
10. Welcome Deathrow
I won't complain
Since I watched me die
Soul and body reconciled
A nightmare overloaded
Enragement uncontrolled
Open your veins and let go
Unfold your wings for eternity
Welcome, deathrow
Bow down, let go
I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September
I won't complain
Since I fell asleep
Old scars began to bleed
My senses overloaded
Thy hate grows uncontrolled
Absolution of existence
I sense the streams of blood
Carry my perception
Cut out my mortal soul
Our crime
Our cries
Your saviors' endless hate
A savior
A savior blind with rage
For you and me
I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September
(x2)
A song for a broken man
Again down on your knees
Hell, where is your victory?
This is your last goodbye
To life, this time
Yeah, your heaven is raining blood
Even the ground is red flooded
The spark ignites itself
Open your eyes
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
Cure me in sorrow
I am sorry for the hollow hearts
Although we both knew better
I am sorry for this house of cards
Those dark days in September
A broken man
(Welcome, deathrow)
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
A broken man
(Welcome, deathrow)
Cure me in sorrow
Welcome, deathrow
(A dying world)
…
A broken man
A dying world
A broken man
A dying world
…
