To Dust You Will Decay (1988)


1. 3rd Challenge



2. Mr. Inferno
There is a land in the middle east region
ruled by black gold
and a crazy religion
There is a satan with certain charisma
he instigates thousands to play the Kamikaze game
the tyrant has the power of words
His bible is built on barbaric foundations
laws from a forgotten century that live again
to die is a straight way to glory
Black widows march proclaim their own slavery
and even children grow to fighters in war
David fights Goliath Uncle Big Satan
the banner of the holy warblood for bloodlife for life
Mr Inferno he is responsible
makes the blood boil in the veins of his land
Mr. Inferno he is responsible
Holding the lifes of his man in his hands
A hellish old man plans the overkill riot
he letz his land bleed till end in a war for his pride
it's his demonstration of might
The distinguised expression on face of the old man
his hiding ideas full of madness for adamned deadly game
We won't retain to fight it back
save the ballance land he rules
We'll hold the power on the border
they've sworn the oat
hand die on his order
Mr. Inferno he is responsible
makes the blood boil in the veins of his land
Mr. Inferno he is responsible
Holding the lifes of his man in his hands
So it's destroyed the work of a century
the iron towers melt down in the fire of hate
No survivor in a war out of gain
pain or glory described in the book of all fates
Mr. Inferno he is responsible
makes the blood boil in the veins of his land
Mr. Inferno he is responsible
Holding the lifes of his man in his hands
[repeat]
He is responsible


3. Wings Of An Angel

Can you hear the rolling thunder
pounding through the sky

when you pray down on your knees

Wings of an angel
taking you high to the sky
Wings of an angel
so you can fight the slavery
[repeat]


4. Into The Dark Past (Chapter II)

Rising from the night of time
rising from damnation
growing furtive to old size
a thousand years old nation
Finding victims for their "Reich"
the lands' got a lot of strangers
they call back the crystal night
to burn the war creation
In a land where neighbours are stranger
sand misleaded feel caled for avenger
sin a land with blood
covered history
Then the last man of their kind
finished life in prison
he's a martyr for their aims
started killing seasons
Now they march the insane hords
call the "Neo-Nation"
again the right hands risen high
a skinny revelation
In a land where neighbours are stranger
sand misleaded feel caled for avenger
sin a land with blood
covered history
Back to the dark
Rising their hands higher
Back into the past
from the night of time
Banned graphitti on the walls
words of hate and murder
waiting for their masters call
back in line and order
In a land where neighbours are strangers
Back to the dark
Rising their hands higher
Back into the past
from the night of time
Back to the dark
Rising their hands higher
Back into the past
from the night of time


5. The King

Seventh day restless I wait
yes I wait for the right word
twelve o'clock this is my time
time to change to the nightbird and like
a snake I am winding myself into tight jeans
the look on my face's gonna make all the
girls know what I mean
I come in the music stops
and you see everyone turning
then I walk cool as I can
straight to the bar and start smoking
I feel hot looks in my back
and I'll soon chose my victim
I am the king and my right is to show you
what I need
You know here I am again
it's my show
now I'm back on the road
so show action and go
I think of the time that I waisted
how can you tell till you've tasted?
Why nobody told me I'm wrong
I can not be
can not be king all my life
[solo]
My straight face is lying about motions
that live in my heart
like a figure of stone
I am waiting for you to start
You know here I am again
it's my show
now I'm back on the road
I think of the time that I waisted
how how can you tell till you've taisted?
why nobody told me I'm wrong
I can not be
can not be king all my life


6. To Dust You Will Decay

You're running into tragedy
signs announcing danger
for your life
will end in agony
and your bodies will decay to dust
Dust you are created of
and eternal laws can never change
change in our universe
dust to dust decays
You'll roast in flames
with the soals fo no name
your bones burste under mountains of bones
A voice from some
whereis calling your name
when you're in league with the gods
Pray
Or to dust you will decay
pay attention to my warning
Pray
Or to dust you will decay
on a painfull morning
To dust you will decay
Everything that you achieved
all you tried has been in vain
you're treated with indignity
somewhere in a nowhere you will
fight
for the right to survive
don't blasphemise the holy signs
who will you bein the judgment of gods
after the night when you'll die
who will you bein the judgment of gods
after the night when you'll die
Pray
Or to dust you will decay
pay attention to my warning
Pray
Or to dust you will decay
on a painfull morning
To dust you will decay
you will decay


7. Stranger

Somewhere on a border
forced to march in line and order
looo men in greedy hands
Lured with hope for future
pressed in contracts
leaving them no chance
but to leave their land
They're nameless young men
bleeding their hands
on the edge of life
and they feel the hate
treated like slaves
There's a shanty village
where they are folded in dirt
dirt and a mess
intimidations breaking
the free will of men
free will of men
free will of men
Stranger
Stranger from a foreign land
[repeat]
Somewhere in a office
noble looking and expensive
accepted by a corrupt state
Stranger
Stranger from a foreign land
[repeat]
Locked in a cage
tied with invisible chains
on iron walls of pain
faces expressing their torture
denying their age
1000 years
reflected in mirrors of eyes
and brain
flowing rage
a rage crushing in fragments
past recorgnition their mind
Stranger
Stranger from a foreign land
Stranger
Stranger from a foreign land
[repeat]


8. The Duell

Back to back here we stand
our guns they are ready and loaded
ten steps forward and then turn
the strike of the bullets will hurt you
Eye to eye with icecold looks
that make you feel there is danger
they have might to hypnotize
and they will never release you
You search for the stronger
you search for the truth
you're searching so long
wasting your youth
Fight it out
if you search for the stronger
fight it out if you search for the truth
fight it out if you search for the stronger
fight it out if you search
Search for the stronger of two
Keep cool bleed and fight your fear
Success's laying only in your hands
just try hard the end is near
your name will be sung through the lands
You search for the stronger etc ...
Fight it out
if you search for the stronger
fight it out
etc ...


9. Hold On

You ride on a silver spider
captured in his net
and your prince rides beside you
he knows no way to help
You walk through tubes of mistery
you see light at the end
but when you reach the exit
your're cought by thousand hands
You ride on a silver spider
captures in his net
and your prince rides beside you
he knows no way
You fall pictures create the lies
You fall but your mind denies
Hold on don't you lose your dreams
Hold on save your fantasy
Hold on every nightmare's got an end
don't you lose your dreams tonight
In the night
You sail on a purple ocean
the wind inflates your wings
burned by an old emotion
your wooden sailboat sinks
When flames of memory touch you
you'll see they've burned so long
and deep in a nest in side you
another dream is born
You fall ...
Hold on ...
You ride on a silver spider ...
Hold on don't you lose your dreams
Hold on save your fantasy
Hold on every nightmare's got an end
Hold on save your fantasy
Hold on save dreams for me
Hold on every nightmare's got an end

Bleed (1999)


1. Bleed

Frightened Shadows
Appear behind the light
And the coldness seizes me
A paralyzing pain catches me again
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Another day is over
see horror on the screen
The shadows gonna
touch my heart
A skeleton hand
that bears all the grief
Does lightly stroke my sleeping emphaty

Can I leave and close my eyes
for one more night
Can I pay to be set free
of all this pain
That makes me bleed

Gotta meet the pries
and ask for his help
Will the collection
heal my soul
Can money clear the temple
of prejudice and lies
Can I reach heaven and enter paradise

[Chorus]

Love and faith
Future and hope
Never appear in their lives
Has all guilt been payed
by the death of christ
Or is there something to apologize

[Chorus]


2. Black Rain

Blue sky- the sun is shining bright
Silence- the noises crystalsed
Freezing when you feel the frantic form
Breathe in the revenge for ancient sins

Black- ancient poser
Black- creeping hazard
Black- out of darkness
Black- black rain

Falling rain washed away the light
No excuse can justify the pain

Black- ancient power
Black- creeping hazard
Black- out of darkness
Black- black rain


3. Never

Horror in my eyes
I don't know whats going on
List in hell
Nothing remains the same
Creatures of the night
arise in me
Darkness around me
Encourages their evil deeds

I feel my mind
is leaving me
I will follow into eternity

A light shines on me
I feel the sun arise
Fire will banish my fear
My dreadful
black dreams
No longer they'll
scare me
Until the night returns

How long can I stand
The return of
the eternal curse
Deliver me of all the pain
The fear of the dusk
paralyses me

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Black is the jail of my soul
In my haunted nights

[Chorus]


4. Follow Me (Part 1)

Do you remember -
a walk along the river
In the valley of our dreams
Forgotten problems -
they've darkened the horizon
Life's no more what it seems
The other side of pain
is rising high again
And makes me cry

So why don't you follow me?
Why don't you follow me?

Forgotten promises -
just flow within the water
Rememberance - just fades away
Echoes of a perfect love
Hurt just like a force
from high above

[Chorus]

Times are changing -
life has just begun
There are new aims to be found
Different valleys
Sweeter dreams
Now I know new love
I found my way

[Chorus]


5. Follow Me (Part 2)

Hate - memories tear me apart
Live - never thougt it wold be that hard
Time - always knew on my side
Death - seems to be the only bride

'Cause you didn't follow me
'Cause you didn't follow me

Love - a never unknown feeling I lost
Pain - I never thought I'd count the cost
Feel - you finally made me loose it
Mind - I think you gotta prove me

[Chorus]

Somebody to catch my fall
Somebody to close the distance
In my circle of tragedy
Somebody to share my sorrow
Somebody who I believe in
Somebody to follow me

Do you remember - a walk along the river
In the valley of our dreams
The other side of pain is rising high again
And makes me cry

[Chorus]

Forgotten problems they've darkened
the horizon
Life's no more what it seems
The other side of pain is rising high again
And makes me cry

[Chorus]


6. Addicted To Serenity

Here I am
Just a poor boys dream
My life's lost in trouble
You know what I mean
Knowing the gutter
There ain't no escape
Life has no offers just my body is raped

All my broken promises
Intentions that have failed
Helped me cross the borderline
All the screaming memories
That I wasted in my life
Creeping death is gonna shine

I am lost but I will find
Just a little piece of mind
To keep my self back in control
Will it ever be the same
The syrenge is calling out my name
See myself I am addicted
To serenity

Wasted time
For a shot to come
The bigger they are
The more I'm done
Sacred feelings
There ain't no return
Suicide solution
In hell I will burn

[Bridge]
[Chorus]


7. Surrender?

I still heart the tales
That often have been told
I hardly tried to listen
Discover word of gold
Knowledge ain't wisdom
But led you through your life
And all I ask you for
is let me live mine

I hear a voice
From deep inside - open your eyes
The truth of one is
another book of lies

From birth till death
There's a road for everyone
Easy to survey so easy to run
But all simplicity might be a lie
And your grave was digged
Long before you die

Those words of stone
decay so soon
Your truth ain't mine
Why're you so sure you're divine
My life- just a cesspool of lies
My life- anyone could supply
My life- ignorance with no remorse

Beat me - treat me
Respect I am silent
And deaf of all those
curent instructions
That you - spit on - me
Imagine I am one
Just like you who believes
It's worth to besome one
Of love - of faith - and pride
Do you believe that your god
Is anybetter than mine
Are you sure it's his will
My kind - is the next one - to die

Surrender - why do you think I should
Surrender - do you belive I ever could
Surrender - to make you believe I'm fine
Surrender - this ain't a term of mine

Wars have already been tought
No one is left to die
Have you come to an answer
Who's better you or I
A voice breakes the silence
And tells the only truth
That will last forever
My word for my own life

[Chorus]


8. Sanity

Sanity fades with every breath I take
I'm drowning in shadows
on the way to my fate
None of your words will ever
reach me again
I'm drowning in shadows
I'm calling your name
Now here I stand in a shade
of my dream
I start to forget that you
blame it on me
You don't know if you're right
It's just hatred you see

When the night falls down on me
This is the time where I can see
I need no longer run away
When the night falls down on me
All of my sadness disapears

Still I am disdained by you
Still I am blamed by you
Color me black till I hate forever
Hate me till I hate my self forever

[Chorus]

Now I know I'm still alone
And have to face the light
No escape - I have to stay
And hear your abscent cries
My memories are fading away
Desperation will end

[Chorus]


9. Liquid Angel

Once againthe pictures
disarray
No more empty words
that go astray
Paralize I step into
the stream
Hoping all my lies
will follow me

I feel the dawn rise in me
The light disappears
I start to regret
I can't breake these chains
I die to live again

Ever so I try to turn arround
Electrifying voices
tie me down
My senses are erased
I'm breathing in the flames
The termination has begun
I cannot break these chains

[Chorus]

Of Human Bondage (2002)


1. The Human Bondage

Out of my darkness it's rising in me
Discover s the feelings hidden so deep
I lose myself
Affection for sadness and longing for pain
I is dividing - deciphers the madness
I loose myself
Oh - The human bondage
No way to control it
I have to obey
Just can't deny it - so deep inside me
I lose myself
My personal demon is linking the shades
I could never see
Now I know who I am
I see myself
Oh - The human bondage
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I am you
Oh - The human bondage


2. Inhuman

With might the forceful makers build
Machines that will take control
Inhuman - They use us to
build and to guide them
We turn our backs and we'll lose it all

[Chorus]
Don't say goodbye
You tried and you tried
You lied and you left me here for so long
Don't say farewell
When you go to hell
You're a machine and you will never die

Inhuman - They are taking over

And they will always be
Wind up men controlling us
Manifesto humanity


3. Unreal Soul

Starlight shines in another world
Spent my life in a dark dismay
It starts with you for what it's worth
Can't speak your name, or I go insane

In another world - back to my soul
I know there's nothing here, oh yeah

Seems I'm back in a loveless world
Can't understand what it's worth
Step outside the lifeless game
I've never understood what it says

In the fucking world blacks out my soul
I know there's nothing real - oh

There's nobody else who gives this to me
'Cause whoever said my soul would heal?
There's no one who shares in my whole misery
For who will say my soul is real?

I step outside this fucking cage
New forms of life cry out and rage
I feel flying back the loveless fear
To check and see my soul is real

[repeat bridge one]
[repeat chorus]
[repeat bridge one]
[repeat chorus]

There's no one who shares in this whole mystery
'Cause whoever said my soul was real?
I laugh out but now of the whole misery
'Cause who will save my soul, it's real


4. Disbeliever

I'm walking and watching
All the things I've seen before a million times
It's cold neon light
A stranger on his way
A world, that's always been cold and gray
Just wait another day

Tell me now - Is this the world that you have made for me?
Is this all you'll let me be?

Hold the children for me
That scream in the night because of you
It's empty - no light
You've told me that I am impersonation of humanity
I only want to cease to be

Tell me now - Is this the only world that you have made for me?
Is this all you'll let me be?

Hold me now
Save me from the ghosts that haunt my nights
Don't say goodbye
When the shadows fall down on me in the night
Alone - again

Just for your love I will be undead for all eternity
You're watching over me
Lovely creature - darkest night
Come back again to me
It's just like you...were once before

[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]

Don't tell me now that this is the only world - oh no
Don't tell me about your point of view
Save it for someone else - what to do
Alone again


5. Forever

It's a tragedy - that's coming near
Hatred chains our thoughts - born in fear
Makes our children be martyrs of vanity
Sacrifice in another gods name

We speak of love and mercy
While only bullets answering every thrown stone
We praise our lord in heaven
But all our deeds are by blood and pain

Let's lay down our swords now
And let the blood dry now
It's not our destiny to be enemies
There can be a tomorrow
So let the blood dry now
No war can last forever

Time of killing lasts for so many years
Life lights burn so fast - all that's left are tears
Do you really believe our gods want us to kill?
Not one word of our belief tells this is out lords will

Time runs fast for you and me
But still our souls can be saved by the glory of love
Take the hand that reaches out for you
Let's end the madness before it's too late - too late

[repeat chorus]
[repeat bridge two]
[repeat chorus]


6. Unite

Don't speak...
Of the silence that falls on the future
I won't say - but I believe there is something in my mind
It's hard to expect there will be no surprises
Don't feel - there's a sign of what's coming - we divide

Keep us together
Don't silence our souls
In this dread - ripped apart again

You know my aim is for you to be my last resort
Don't heed the empty mindless call
I don't feel hatred towards you
This is my last remorse
Here comes the ending
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite - and overcome

Don't say that the cries of tomorrow are silenced
Don't think like we will be living in ecstasy

[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]
[repeat bridge]

Don't feel my agony now
This is my last real hope
Don't heed the empty mindless call
I don't feel hatred towards you
This is my last remorse
Here comes the ending
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite and overcome


7. Got This Evil

Light a candle for redemption
Ridiculous you are
Blame the demons
Blame the fire for atrocity

Wise man's words of revelation
Stuck inside your minds
Destination Arian-nation
Hate is what you are

I am the pain you suffer
I am the hope you feel
I am eternal fire - for you believe
I've got this evil - got this evilness

Salem's burning, crosses turning
Burn in desire's name
Light a candle for redemption
Riculous you are

[repeat chorus]


8. The Cultman

Come and rise from your grave again
Rise above them and fight again
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Without me you'll be obscene
I'll save you from it all

Release your confessions
Give your life to me
Let me open your sewn shut eyes
See only me
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Obey me until your life is lost

Come to me with sorrow
I'll let you live again
There is no tomorrow
I am your only friend
Your time has been so sick
You're living in sorrow and pain
There is no tomorrow - take my hand

What is it inside you eating you within?
I drown in life's waters
A sea of despair
Hear me now I'm calling
So you can see the way to me
I'll leave you blind and hopeless
You should have never listened to me

Come to me with sorrow
I'll let you live again
There is no tomorrow
I am your only friend
Your time has been so sick
You're living in sorrow and pain
There is no tomorrow - take my hand

I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Without me you'll be obscene
I'll save you from it all
Release your confessions
Give your life to me
Let me open your sewn shut eyes
See only me again


9. Freedom Awaits

Listen - did you hear that voice from inside ourselves
It's echoeing the weariness that's hunting us
It's getting dark we both can see
Pathetic words won't rescue me
Love is just another word for grief

We are drowning in the tears once fallen
Why don't the shadows disappear?

Please awake you holy one
Please awake 'cause freedom awaits
Now awake my only one
Please awake 'cause freedom awaits

It's useless to love the one I hurt so deep
Can you feel the slowing down of time?
One word could even make you cry
One single touch could make you die
You must know I never could resist

[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]


10. Killer

So you want to be free
To live your life the way you want to be
Will you give if we cry
Will we live or will we die, yeah

Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that wants to live
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that wants to give

Jaded hearts heal with time
Shoot that love so we can stop the bleeding
If we try and live our lives
The way we want, the way we want to be, yeah

[Repeat chorus]
[Repeat chorus]

Racism in among future kings can lead to no good
Besides all our sons and daughters already know how that feels

[Repeat chorus]
[Repeat chorus]
