- 02. Phoenix Down
In this big panorama of lies, which we came to call life
I’m rubbing everything to find, to find that genie inside (inside),
A state of not caring for my thoughtless wrongdoings
Cause I know by the end of the day there’s no punishment divine.
Reckless, you walked right into my crosshair (I walked right into)
Careless I inscribed my name on your heartstone (You inscribed your name)
Loveless I already know my exits
And relentless I enjoyed every second of it…
- Betrayer Of The Code
God damned us
My voice uncovers, reveals your hidden secrets
My songs, they spellbind and brainwash feeble minds
On and on I traveled lonesome roads
In the savage garden of our world
But what am I, where do I come from?
Little did I ever know…
- Black Eyed Angel
She is back
Forever we waited
For Eve's return
Oh, what a return
She is the key
The kiss of death
In this final hour
You know her
- Blodbad
Everlasting bloodshed
Between the clan and the intruders
My daggers, dubbed in the vital fluids of our rivals
Unquenchable hate
Like rabid wolves we'll rupture their defences
This valley, our home, has always belonged to us
My hope was enlivened by the mere vision of you,
- Boneyard
Leave your troubles for a while
They'll still be there when you come back
Time is always too short,
For those who really need it
Where no ghost
Is holy, only dead
I'm just a soul
- Carnal Genesis
In the aftermath of war
Our inactions can't be remembered
Because there was none of that
Never will we be limited to spare parts
Let all the color of our eyes
Take a good look at the synthetic fiends
That's the enemy, that's the suppressors
- Collapse My Dream
Back again, veterans of the same war
Fighting compact darkness
While we wish upon the black star.
Man never seems to change,
If you know one you know them all,
Just collect your heart and run for higher ground.
We arm, we arm ourselves with all that we've been through
While we watch the sun rain down on you.
- Defector DCXVI
The falcon encouraged my vengeful rampage as an angel
And the jackal nursed my return as an unsettled fallen one
I was too volatile to keep in heaven, but also completely indestructible
Forever exiled to the mortal layer, to keep the heavens out of reach
We do not forget, we do not forgive
My red eyes will transcend the light of Ra
- Enforce
For years I was patient
Longing for the day
When all the pain inside of me
Was helpful again
If you would have ended me now
You would have jailed me in my nightmare
Alone, I will slit my way to hell
- Enraged
You took my wings
And I took your life
A fair trade by any measure
If you ever try to restore
That broken body of yours
I’ll be there waiting for you
- Eye Of The Thylacine
The human brain, is a remarkable device
But there was no thought into creating the world
Yet it’s far more complex and advanced
Than anything generated by an intellect
Even if you created my mind
I won’t be fooled, I see what you’ve done here
You think it’s unfair when I turn against you
- Eye Of Thylacine
The human brain is a remarkable device
But there was no thought into creating the world
Yet it's far more complex and advanced
Than anything generated by an intellect.
Even if you created my mind,
I won't be fooled, I see what you've done here,
You think it's unfair when I turn against you
- Granted
If God doesn't exist,
No sin matters,
Nothing counts towards our
Karmic Odyssey.
Whether you die tomorrow
Or the day after, it doesn't matter
Because if God doesn't exist, this life,
- Green Eyed Demon
Another angel falls from the skies, smashes to the ground
in a whirlwind of white feathers
another demon claws his way to the surface
spreads his black wings as he lusts for more blood
Something expendable was all I craved
to fill a hole in my soul, and I found that in you
You where up against a Russian roulette
- Heartseeker
You can search a lifetime for true love
(But) if you find it
Do you have what it takes to conduct and keep it?
Having you was a gift
(Just) as much as it was a curse
A burden that now has run its course
- Iceheart Fragment
You cleaned a skeleton
Out from your darkest closet.
What about the remaining ones?
Will you save them for a rainy day?
In your sovereign life
You'll get plenty of these
Eye for an eye,
- Inception
As I readied my time-worn shield
And entered my old crown
I knew what had to be done
(What had to be done)
I was not plucked by the heavens
to be trained as a warrior
I was created knowing only war
- Inherit the Earth
Go, all wrong!
You can breathe (breathe now)
You can breathe but the air is running out,
We lost all hope (lost all hope)
In the church of our doom
And suffer through
The funeral of our world.
- Judgment
In the darkest hour of deceit
From the highest heavens; finally released
One of the three thrones is now my seat
And on the traitors mind I will feast
Fear must go on
Overkill is underrated
- King of Clubs
[Richard:]
This is my city now
An alien city I will exploit it all
And bend it to my needs
Much like the locust you are
Consuming everything
Deplete and find another target
You have no idea what you brought in
- Mercy
Spit out the bitter taste of hate
Everything that is now wrong, was once right
This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better
And I don’t even care who shot first
(Because) you’re (all) lost to where light doesn’t travel
Your hatred is growing strong
- My Own Death
You think you're safe when you're living in your simple fishbowl life,
But I'm closer, I'm closer than you think.
I, the keeper of your time. Or what is left of it…
I've counted your every second
Since you first entered this world.
I like to sit beside you (and) listen to your heart and thoughts,
- Nighttaker
All I know is that you don’t
Brawl your demons and defeat them
No, you fight them...
You fight them every single day
For the rest of your life
You live and breathe them
My time is coming
- Oblivion
You were always led to believe
That the very road to hell
Was paved with good intentions
But let me tell you now
It is paved with the blood of fallen angels
Who fell so you can live
But the guilty and putrid ones
- Only Human
(In loving memory of Robert Sjunnesson)
His shadow self
Will be forgotten
His shadow self...
In my heart of hearts
I'll keep the good memories closely guarded
- Pathfinder
Just for so long, my barbed wire deflected you
My defenses could never stand the legions of her
As the last hooks were hurled over my shielding walls
I was reduced to nothing and the slaughter was to begin
No time to evacuate
There is not much to be saved at all
What is left of me is yours to keep
- Phobos Grip
As natural (as) it seems not
To bring sticks and stones to a knife fight
You shouldn't bring guns to a nuclear war!
Finally free,
With some intervention by a loyal bogey
Evil has left the building
But my heart is full throttle aching

Reckless, you walked right into my crosshair (I walked right into)
Careless I inscribed my name on your heartstone (You inscribed your name)
Loveless I already know my exits
- Serenade of Guilt
Don't waste my time, or rather don't waste
The time you've been granted with me,
When it's all said and done (said and done)
Would you have done more than you've said?
You try to fashion your citadels against time,
But they will be nothing but your prisons,
You're at the point where life is taking more than giving
- Singularity
Upon returning from the never-ending winter
The axe shall fall on those who wronged us.
Let me, let me tell you about the fallen angels
Because there's so much, so much left to tell about a story soon lost in time
Two betrayers, three forgotten and two kindred rulers
Brothers fighting the oppression as one, to save a dying kingdom
- The gilded dagger
Slowly, fading, to the grey zone!
Pray not to wake the mind ghosts
They root far too deep
I'll be forced to play the killcard
And unmake them!
If, you don't want the answer
- The Worst Day
Speeding down memory lane
I find a lot of grudges to be held
But a few ripe enough, to let go
She hailed like a storm wind
I hardly knew what hit me
My heart was taken hostage
And then it's just illusory
- Unguided Entity
Don’t wake me up from my nightmares
Because it’s always much worse
The truth never sealed my fate
The truth it sealed my mind
I’m getting good at swapping one pain for another
And cache the truth deep down in my chest
I just hoped for a chestburster free life
- Where the Frost Rose Withers
Trapped under, trapped under, trapped under ice too long...
Trapped under, trapped under, trapped under ice too long...
Trapped under ice too long, I broke my frozen chains,
The body saved itself when no mind remained inside.
The nightmare's over now and I reclaimed my heart this day,
Your eclipse was all I needed, not your burning scars.
- Другая сторона
Остаюсь зажатым и робким
Но весь пожар в эти строки
Они как татуировки
Навечно вы же в восторге
Моё превосходство над вами
Но помню как со мной вы по скотски
Теперь плюю на вас рифмами твари
