1. Hell Is Where The Heart Is
[1.] In the strangest world of formlessness I am reaching out to expand my mind No more echoes and reflections The future is now I am the first in line [2.] Because I am alone Here with my fantasies Inside my cocoon A self-constructed galaxy [C.] And hell is where the heart is But I'll never understand The fact that I am And hell is where the heart is I have lost the concept of life Is there another to find [4.] Gotta ticket with a microsynthetic design For chemical dreams To fill up the dead spot in the bottom of my eyes and welcome the big sleep [5.] Injected with silence Fading in a sleepy confusion A beautiful entrance Into a higher dimension [Repeat C.] [6.] I was about to explore The Exit The Door Out of my labyrinth A mind-detonation The easy solution Out of my labyrinth [7.] Between midnight and twilight I leave my shell To enter the dream-light The final farewell [Repeat 1.] [Repeat 2.] [Repeat C. (X2)] [Repeat 7.]

2. Helter Skelter
[1.] Awakening All victims gathered One happy family "I am your father" "I am your friend" "And you are my children and shall be to the end" On the verge of insanity Manipulated Blind they follow his every command Stimulated by fluids and dust And the love of a madman never ever rusts [2.] Go now my children There is work to be done The pigs must be slaughtered Our battle's begun Leave them a message that they never seen Helter Skelter Anarchy Supreme [3.] Washing her hands from the blood she has spilled Stabbing her to death for her father Through the hands of his children he murdered them all Without even lifting his finger no powers are needed when leading the blind But powers are needed to kill A mastermind with intentions for chaos Carnage He murdered through will [Repeat 2] [4.] No powers are needed when leading the blind But powers are needed to kill A mastermind with intentions for chaos Carnage He murdered through will On the verge of insanity Manipulated Blind they follow his every command Stimulated by fluids and dust And the love of a madman never ever rusts Never ever rusts
Peace Love Murder

3. 15:36
[1.] Let me invite you to my nether-world I'll show you sights you've never seen You still my hunger You're an easy prey Your flesh is ripe Your mind is weak [2.] And dark is the path where I'll be your guide and there is no turning back Don't you try to run Because you're in my grip and your soul now fades to black [C.] I am the one who will leave you behind when I have used all of your mind I am your incarnated fear I have no soul I am cold in my heart I will always haunt you down When you're dead you'll dream of me [3.] Let me invite you to the other side Feel the presence of the dark You scream and cry as I show you my world Then I crawl into your mind [4.] I am the dream you have when you're all alone I am everything you fear I am the one who'll make you loose your mind as the end draws near [Repeat C.] [5.] And now... your time has come Let me have your fading soul Restless eyes watching you I am crawling all around you Face the darkness in my touch [Repeat C.]

4. The Bleakness Of It All
[1.] Sunrise burning holes in this dead earth No chance to live No chance of rebirth The rain shall fall as the sun still burn Uncoloured rainbow Grey [2.] Slay your soul Led astray The inferno will not end this way Burning black Stars will crack The world you know will change today [C.] Running waters The boiling rivers of desert lands World lies slaughtered This earth chose its own suicide Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide our weakness made us fall It wasn't even our call Do you see the bleakness of it all The bleakness of it all [3.] Strangulation The death of a planet When the world chokes itself we will die with it there is no escape from total extermination Nail by nail Grind them in Your coffin closed The air grows thin Useless fight Got no chance When sickness rages It's sure to win [Repeat C.] [Repeat C.] The bleakness of it all [X6]

5. Damned (By The Damned)
[1.] Deathdefying son of god Twice you died in vain No stronger than mortal That made you re-live your pain And as the crown grows tighter around your head you will die for our sins As your own blood stings your eyes Do you think you will ever win [2.] Your grace shines through the peeling pain and that will be your death Damned by the damned and cursed by the cursed Deliver the kiss of poisoned breath [C.] Infernal chanting forever after Undying echoes of devils laughter Self-chosen leader You will die by your own hand Cursed by the cursed Damned by the damned You'll be dethroned from your father No longer god's son Forever to be condemned Forever banned you will be Cursed by the cursed Damned by the damned [3.] Unblessed you wander with no help for your god Unwanted in heaven Unwanted below So was it worth it All the pain you suffered for your king You sacrificed your life to the righteous one of his only son The denial The denial of you yeah [X2] [Repeat C.] [4.] (Damned by the damned by the.....) Baptised in poisoned water (Cursed by the cursed byt the....) Lambs leading lamds to the slaughter [Repeat C.] Damned by the damned [X4]
[Music by Andreas Axelson/Benny Larsson] [Lyrics by Andreas Axelson]
[1.] Leaving the grind the mirror behind loosing the ringth then and there Whisper it was someone else and not me How I wish I could [2.] I keep the secret within deep inside Grasping without reaching anything I am alone here to seek for the truth and your dead star is burning be weak [3.] I am a ghost Dwelling inside myself [4.] Please forgive me if you're able I do not know what I do The inner autumn shrouds everything The eternal rain that drown my soul [5.] I am a ghost Dwelling inside myself I can not bare this anymore As I am you [C.] Together forever In a masquerade of life and death Forever together The vision reached me from a dream Together forever Erverlasting scars, soul torture Forever together forever [6.] Impossible to leave this void Unwilling to reveal the true face Although I reckon this path is the only And is it true that I can't resist [7.] The soil has turned into stone As I turn around and face myself So close to the end Unable to hear The syncronized heartbeats of my dearest [Repeat C.] [8.] The moon didn't shine that night Clouds gave way for the blackest sky The spoken words translated into silence and noone was to blame but me [Repeat 1.] [Repeat C.] [Repeat 3.]

7. Losing Myself
[1.] Losing time counting hours I'll never see myself again And even though I'm alone I can't remember what I'm missing So I leave it be [2.] Closing down I expect the hopelessness and everything And even though I'm alone I can't remember what I'm missing and that's all I need [3.] I am lost I feel I am sinking now like I was made of rain Like a wave I roll into the nedless night [C.] I am not afraid as the darkness starts to make its way I breathe as hard as you as I end myy day I sigh and shelter as I try to sink that dep as dep as you and make sure that I won't fall asleep [4.] Losing days I Need no hours I'll never be myself again And eve though it's killing me I can't remember what I am missing so I leave it be. [5.] I'm closing down I expect the hopelessness again tonight And even though it's killing me I can't remember what I am missing But it might be you [Repeat 3.] [Repeat C.] That I won't fall asleep [Repeat C.]

8. Hollow
[1.] Depression ain 'the reason why everything turns grey When my mind's been drained through the stream of frozen minds The hollow one And thousands have walked this narrow way But I'm not that kind of man I wanna stay in my old
