Hardwired... to Self-Destruct
1. Hardwired
In the name of desperation
In the name of wretched pain
In the name of all creation
Gone insane
We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct
On the way to paranoia
On the crooked borderline
On the way to great destroyer
Doom design
We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct
Once upon a planet burning
Once upon a flame
Once upon a fear returning
All in vain
Do you feel that hope is fading?
Do you comprehend?
Do you feel it terminating?
In the end
We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct
Hardwired to self-destruct
Self-destruct
Self-destruct
Self-destruct
2. Atlas, Rise!
Bitterness and burden
Curses rest on thee
Solitaire and sorrow
All Eternity
Save the Earth and claim perfection
Deem the mass and blame rejection
Hold the pose, reign perception
Grudges break your back
All you bear
All you carry
All you bear
Place it right on, right on me
Die as you suffer in vain
Own all the grief and the pain
Die as you hold up the skies
Atlas, Rise!
How does it feel on your own?
Bound by the world all alone
Crushed under heavy skies
Atlas, Rise!
Crucify and witness
Circling the sun
Bastardize and ruin
What have you become?
Blame the world, and blame your maker
Wish ‘em to the undertaker
Crown yourself the other savior
So you carry on
All you bear
All you carry
All you bear
Place it right on, right on me
Die as you suffer in vain
Own all the grief and the pain
Die as you hold up the skies
Atlas, Rise!
How does it feel on your own?
Bound by the world all alone
Crushed under heavy skies
Crushed under heavy skies
Atlas, Rise!
Masquerade as maker
Heavy is the crown
Beaten down and broken
Drama wears you down
Overload, the martyr stumbles
Hit the ground and heaven crumbles
All alone, the fear shall humble
Swallow all your pride
All you bear
All you carry
All you bear
Place it right on, right on me
Die as you suffer in vain
Own all the grief and the pain
Die as you hold up the skies
Atlas, Rise!
How does it feel on your own?
Bound by the world all alone
Crushed under heavy skies
Crushed under heavy skies
Atlas, Rise!
3. Now That We're Dead
When darkness falls
May it be
That we should see the light
When reaper calls
May it be
That we walk straight and right
When doubt returns
May it be
That faith shall permeate our scars
When we're seduced
Then may it be
That we not deviate our cause
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever
When all is pain
May it be
It's all we've ever known
When flame consumes
May it be
It warms our dying bones
When loss has won
May it be
It's you I'm madly fighting for
When Kingdom comes
May it be
We walk right through that open door
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live, we can live forever
Return to ashes, shed this skin
Beyond the black, we rise again
We shall live forever
4. Moth Into Flame
Blacked out
Pop queen, amphetamine
The screams crashed into silence
Tapped out
Doused in the gasoline
The high times going timeless
Decadence
Death of the innocence
The pathway starts to spiral
Infamy
All for publicity
Destruction going viral
Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, kill the truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again
Sold your soul
Built a higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Twisted
Backstabbing wicked
The delusion absolution
Perjurer
Fame is the murderer
Seduce you into ruin
Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, tell the truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again
Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Burn
Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself
The vultures feast around you still
Overdose on shame and insecurity
If one won't do that fistful will
Death scene
Black hearse the limousine
A grave filled with seduction
Vaccine
Fame does the murdering
She builds up for destruction
So light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, no excuse
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again
Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Addicted to the
Fame
5. Dream No More
He sleeps under black seas waiting
Lies dreaming in death
He sleeps under cosmos shaking
Stars granting his breath
He wakes as the world dies screaming
All horrors arrive
He wakes giving earth its bleeding
Pure madness alive
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Cthulhu, awaken
He sways in abyss returning
Inhaling black skies
He shakes with a torture burning
All lost in his eyes
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Cthulhu, awaken
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Sanity taken
Seething damnation
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Winged salvation
Death by creation
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
6. Halo On Fire
Obey
Obey
Come won't you stay
Sincere
Sincere
All ends in tears
Endure
Endure
Thoughts most impure
Concede
Concede
But both shall we bleed
Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Allure
Allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide
Abide
Secrets inside
Deprive
Deprive
To feel so alive
Obey
Obey
Just don't turn away
Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection
Too dark to sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come won't you stay
Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye
7. Confusion
Wake to face the day
Grab this life and walk away
War is never done
Rub the patch and battle on
Make it go away
Please make it go away
Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
All sanity is but a memory
My life…
The war that never ends
Leave the battlefield
Yet its horrors never heal
Coming home from war
Pieces don't fit anymore
Make it go away
Please make it go away
Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
All sanity is but a memory
My life…
The war that never ends
Father please come home
Shell shocked all I've known
Father please come home
Label him a deadwood soldier now
Cast away and left to roam
Rapid is the road to sacrifice
Just takes longer to come home
Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
Crossfire ricochets inside me
Trapped in a memory forever
My life…
The war that never ends
8. ManUNkind
Chaos,
Awaiting for Adams return
Madness,
Smiling as we watch it burn
I've become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in man(un)kind
Garden,
Of Eden, so simple and pure
Greedy,
Needy, must we have more
I've become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in man(un)kind
Fascinate
Partner of insanity
Decimate
Lessons we never learn
Dominate
Killing of the innocence
Deviate
And to dust you return
Yeah
Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Seized by the day
All the dark days of your life
Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Led so astray
All the dark days of your life
Zero,
Reset, creation of man
Foolish,
Ready, to witness again?
I've become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in man(un)kind
Faith in man(un)kind
Oh, faith in man(un)kind
Faith in man(un)kind
Oh, faith in man(un)kind
9. Here Comes Revenge
Little grave I'm grieving, I will mend you
Sweet revenge I'm dreaming, I will end you
I've been here since dawn of time
Countless hatreds built my shrine
I was born in anger's flame
He was Abel, I was Cain
I am here
I'm hell unbound
Burn your kingdom to the ground
To the ground
Here comes revenge, just for you
Revenge, you can't undo
Revenge, is killing me
Revenge, set me free
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
A life for a life, it's my burden of proof
Revenge, just for you
Revenge
You ask forgiveness, I give you sweet revenge
I return this nightmare, I will find you
Sleepless, cloaked in despair, I'm behind you
Man has made me oh so strong
Blurring lines of right and wrong
Far too late for frail amends
Now it's come to sweet revenge
Desperate hands
That lose control
Have no mercy on your soul
On your soul
Here comes revenge, just for you
Revenge, you can't undo
Revenge, is killing me
Revenge, just set me free
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
A life for a life, it's my burden of proof
Revenge, just for you
Revenge
You ask forgiveness, I give you sweet revenge
Here comes revenge, just for you
Revenge, you can't undo
Revenge, is killing me
Revenge, set me free
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
A life for a life, it's my burden of proof
Revenge, just for you
Revenge
You ask forgiveness, I give you sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
10. Am I Savage?
Ooooh,
Run away, the past will bite again
Ooooh,
No matter where you dwell
You,
Here again, a captive of the howl
You,
Welcome back to hell
Faithful, as the full moon is rising
Beauty and the Beast are colliding
Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
Deepened seed soaks angers reign
Arching back, shape-shift derange
Father, how I watched you change
Am I savage?
Scratching at the door
Am I savage?
I don't recognize you anymore
Ooooh,
Tooth is fang, twisting under skin
Ooooh,
Foul tongue, black breath
Change,
Snap inside, the Beast about complete
Change,
Soon infects the rest
Faithful, as the full moon is rising
Beauty and the Beast are colliding
Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
Deepened seed soaks angers reign
Arching back, shape-shift derange
Father, how I watched you change
Am I savage?
Howling at the door
Am I savage?
I don't recognize you anymore
Anymore
Ooooh,
Inheritance, the past has bit again
Ooooh,
The next heir of anarchy
Feel,
Stretching skin so far beyond belief
I feel,
The ever changing, you, in me
Am I savage?
Scratching at the door
Am I savage?
Howling evermore
Am I savage?
I don't recognize me anymore
Anymore
Anymore, ha ha ha
Am I savage?
11. Murder One
One crown
Shines on through the sound
One crown
Born to lose
One man
Does not give a damn
One man
No excuse
Aces wild
Aces high
All the aces
Aces 'til you die
White lines fading
The iron horse rolls on and on and on
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
Still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
Living to win
One fist
Hammers through the mist
One fist
Steady on
One heart
Die hard from the start
One heart
Beats its song
Murder all
Murder one
Gimme murder
Second class to none
Headlights fading
The iron horse rolls on and on and on
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
Still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
Living to win
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
Still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
No excuse
Till the end
Been living to win
Been living to win
12. Spit Out the Bone
Come unto me and you will feel perfection
Come unto me and dedicate
Come unto me, you'll never feel rejection
Come unto me and terminate
Remove your heart, it's only good for bleeding
Bleeding through your fragile skin
Remove your thought cause it's only for deceiving
Deceiving thoughts destroy within
Disappear like man was never here
Long live machine
The future supreme
Man overthrown
Spit out the bone
Plug into me I guarantee devotion
Plug into me and dedicate
Plug into me and I'll save you from emotion
Plug into me and terminate
Accelerate, Utopian solution
Finally cure the Earth of man
Exterminate, speeding up the evolution
Set on course a master plan
Reinvent the earth inhabitant
Long live machine
The future supreme
Man overthrown
Spit out the bone
The flesh betrays the flesh
Your man has had his time
We lay him down to rest
Machined the new divine
Stop breathing
And dedicate to me
Stop dreaming
And terminate for me
All meaning
You dedicate to me
All feelings
You terminate for me
Disappear like man was never here
Long live machine
Our future supreme
Your man overthrown
Spit out the bone, yeah
13. Lords Of Summer
[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]Sight
Pale riders into the night
Galloping harder and faster
Through your dreaming wake
Walk towards the fire innate
Frost bitten soul below zero
Excitation
Are you remembering the sound
Recall the shaking of the ground
Pounding, pounding
No remorse
Lords of summer set on course
Pushing, pushing
Horsemen ride
Lords of summer undenied
At last the thawing has begun
Come trade your darkness for the sun
Melting the chill of winter's turn
So celebrate and let your fires burn
The lords of summer have returned
Straight
Light passes through penetrate
It's been a long lonely winter
Illumination
Bright
Fading in the volume and light
Reanimated by fire
Transformation
Become the nexus of the sound
Become the shaking of the ground
Pounding, pounding
No remorse
Lords of summer set on course
Pushing, pushing
Horsemen ride
Lords of summer undenied
At last the thawing has begun
Come trade your darkness for the sun
Melting the chill of winter's turn
So celebrate and let your fires burn
The lords of summer have returned
Pounding, pounding
No remorse
Lords of summer set on course
Pushing, pushing
Horsemen ride
The lords of summer undenied
Undenied
At last the thawing has begun
Come trade your darkness for the sun
Melting the chill of winter's turn
So celebrate and let your fires burn
The lords of summer have returned
