Anxiety prevails in the end
On deathrow awaiting my fate Sacrificed upon the altars of justice Part of the ritual of ultimate fear Determined men prepare to slay Executioners axe draws near On my way to depart from life Lost all sense, all the gallows I will die! Let the killing begin Let the end your life of sin Feel the torment within As the beauty of death sets in Counting the days, the sleepless nights Wide awake in a state of lunacy Voices echo inside my head Haunting memories, punishing me Through a tunnel of madness These endless catacombs Left to die in a pit of confusion Swept away by a wave of illusion |

Hideous crimes, atrocities
The slaughter of millions - beyond belief Those were dark times, so different from now The law of evil ruled our fatherland I was but a pawn in their game Why should I feel any guilt? Still when I close, close my eyes The words unfold, it all comes back I can't defy it, can't deny it I know it ot be true In my sleep - they come to haunt me They know it to be true Tears of the dead We are all on the turning wheel of fate A young man, standing proud in uniform I never stopped to hesitate Until it was far to late My hands are soiled, covered in blood Stains that never wash away Their hollow eyes... Confronting me - Judging me Now an old man, at the end of my days Contemplating - My life of sin Living is never simple - the rosad is hard I had no say - just a puppet in a sick play |

Divine queen of evil
Sowing her seeds of hate Mistress of pain Diva satanica - master of temptation Medusa... abuser... both beast and beauty Seducer... she'll use you... bring you to your knees Blinded by her infinite beauty You are lured into the temple The smell of incense burning This carnal pleasure yearning Bride of satan Transgress the rules of this world Too late you realize This love is ripping you apart Medusa... abuser... both beast and beauty Seducer... she'll use you... as fodder for her dreams Drinking the blood Eating the flesh She's getting high on you Watching you die gives her a thrill There is always more blood to spill |

Set me free, let me out of here
From these chains to which I am bound Time was always on your side While my final hours slipped away [Chorus:] Frustration in their minds The hatred in their eyes A new breed will now rise Damnation's way Losing my grip on reality Outside this cage I am struck by paranoia A paradox to all life's mysteries A never ending trail to follow: I am the sinner upon damnation's way Always deprived of hope, never to see the break of dawn My life I lived in the shadow of you The other side now greets me with open arms. |

Standing at the bridge of destiny
So long since I tasted fear Lurking in the darkest holes Awaiting my minds weakest moment Old words from an old world Against the laws of nature They say the truth is overrated Wall of anger corrupts my thought Standing at the bridge of destiny Show me a sign On the verge of losing my sanity Free my soul My inner demons torture me Flapping their wings in my face Damn you! You twisted illusion I am no longer afraid See through their liquid souls Evil eyes that will hypnotize You can no longer hurt me I am my own worst enemy Unleash the trapped souls of the dead Spirits since long forgotten Guardians fo the lost faith Destined for glory? Watch them all turn into sand And the wind blow them away Wisdom pours into my soul ...endlessly... |
