The cause of my affliction
Can never be resolved A case for self infliction Whose sin can't be dissolved Lost in a room of mirrors There's only one way out But suicide is easy When all you have is doubt Idolize the demigods The weapon of stigmata Drowning in the grail of blood The weapon of stigmata Each day becomes fragmented It's harder to connect My world seems so demented I see nothing to respect But strength is born from weakness And this is where I fall I step up to the enemy Then rise from where I crawl Idolize the demigods The weapon of stigmata Drowning in the grail of blood The weapon of stigmata The weapon of stigmata Behind my back In my face Walking stalking In my space Think I'm closed up But I know, I mark all Watch where you go Bide my time Make you stop Watch your mouth Until you drop Make me sick I can wait When you stumble Seal your fate Empty threats Fucked up lies Take you down With alibis Useless strength Wastes on me Crush you down Dead enemy Idolize the demigods The weapon of stigmata Drowning in the grail of blood The weapon of stigmata Penance from the rancid icon Virgin weeping plasma Idolize the demigods The weapon of stigmata Weapon of stigmata Idolize the demigods The weapon of stigmata Weapon of stigmata The weapon of stigmata Crucible Crucible Crucible |

I see the gods in the arena
They stand beneath the blinding lights The roar becomes a deafening silence In reverence before the fight One will live tonight One will die tonight One will stand and One will fall One in victory One in misery Only one will take it all Then all at once begins the rumble A mass of body hits the floor Locked in a battle - strength and honor Blood, sweat and tears becomes the score One will live tonight One will die tonight One will stand and One will fall One in victory One in misery Only one will take it all |

<Will you go to heaven
Will you land in hell Are the things you're praying for The things that serve you well? Did you get satisfaction Have you paid the price Can you look me in the eye Say you found paradise? Betrayal, you are what you choose Betrayal, got everything to loose Betrayal, one day you'll know Betrayal, you reap what you sow Sell your soul for mercy Heed the reapers call Waiting for that heart attack Your back's against the wall Stealing from tomorrow Is no way to live But when you've got no future Then there's nothing left to give Betrayal, you are what you choose Betrayal, got everything to loose Betrayal, one day you'll know Betrayal, you reap what you sow So when you get to heaven When you land in hell Are the things you're praying for The things that serve you well?

Cowards are unholy
Parasites that hide Detonate the human bomb Hands are all awash in blood Carnage from the scriptures Slaughter of the lamb Break the neck of the white dove Run down by the tracks above Whip the back Of your messiah Your peace kills by death Bow your head The prayer calls to violence That history rejects Waiting wall of murder Consummating hate League of perpetuity Will open wounds of disbelief Through self immolation You desecrate the ground Annihilate the innocents In crucifixion crashing down Whip the back Of your messiah Your peace kills by death Bow your head The prayer calls to violence That history rejects Motuhs are spitting venom Shocked senseless by the grief Another day of dying As your terror cry abominates Mushroom cloud is coming Hanging by the nails Gasoline the olive branch Start digging up more body pits Whip the back Of your messiah Your peace kills by death Bow your head The prayer calls to violence That history rejects |

Unleashed in downtown Tokyo, blew Godzilla away Then on the sound and fury went from Sydney to Brazil It sent the Russians crazy 'cause they never get their fill Of Hell, we're born to raise some hell Hell, we're gonna raise some hell Hell, we're born to raise some hell Hell, we're gonna raise some hell The stage and the lights and the amps are ablaze watch them burn From all this insanity the Metal Gods will return Shock waves attack relentlessly, intimidating force So many bands surrounding you with evil from our source It screams across the universe and slams you to the floor This blitzkrieg psycho mania is coming on full roar The world's a stage that's waiting for its bad ass to get kicked And we're all on the road to hell and that's Route 666 Hell, we're born to raise some hell Hell, we're gonna raise some hell Hell, we're born to raise some hell Hell, we're gonna raise some hell |

I move as fast as I can I like to get around I'm crazy like a mad man My feet don't touch the ground I move amongst the night life And they just step aside 'cos when they see me coming They know I'm running wild Dead or alive There's nothing that bothers me at all I take on all comers They back off or they fall They raise their hands to stop me I laugh and I defy 'cos what's the point in living Unless you're living wild No chains can hold me down I always break away I never hear society tell me what to do or say I'll taste the life that pleases me Or raise a storm for all the world to see I never stumble never fall Never stop for rest I rebel but I walk tall And I demand respect I move amongst the night life And they just step aside 'cos when they see me coming They know I'm running wild I'm running wild Get gutta my way I'm running wild |

Let it be
Still my anger Bring me peace From my temper I`m trying every way I can I`m doing wrong I understand * Let it be - slow down - watch the pressure fall Bring me peace - slow down - I can`t have it, I can`t have it all. Break the stain Feed my hunger Tell my mind To be stronger I`ve got to move and make it real I`ve got to make myself a deal Break the stain - slow down - give up what i crave Tell my mind - slow down - whtch what I can, watch what I can save. Will I rise Out of shadow Staying calm Feeling hollow I`m here to give me one more chance That choice is resting in my hands, yeah... * Repeat Break this stain - slow down - watch the pressure fall Tell My mind - slow down - I can`t have it I can`t have it all |

You may not like the future
And we`re not here to preach to you We`ll take you to the killing floor. You think you want to know me You think you want to own me But I have nothing you can buy. * I can break you I can raise you Bring you to your knees Cause I`m the one you love to hate. ** You can`t fool me You can`t rule me You only wanna hang around Cause I`m the one you love to hate So come on get a load of this Something you can`t afford to miss You`re just a vulture on my veins. Your nails won`t crucify me Got money, but you can`t see Your only future is your past. * Repeat ** Repeat The one you love to hate Cause I`m the one you love to hate. The one you love to hate Cause I`m the one you love to hate. |

Who can say they've never made mistakes? Only fools will suffer what they make Owning up rids poison when you can Admitting you were wrong makes you a man It's every where But do you care? Sad wings of destiny, Where have they gone? I know eternally I'll carry on Did you think that I would disappear? Were you so dried up from all your fear? Thought you'd make me feel impossible You were wrong now who looks like the fool? It's up to you, What did you do? Sad wings of destiny It used to burn I know that faithfully I'll see you turn It's everywhere But do you care Sad wings of destiny, Where have they gone? I know eternally I'll carry on Sad wings of destiny It used to burn I know that faithfully I'll see you turn Sad wings of destiny |

Look at me I`m chasing
After dreams left in the storm What I am is all That really matters now That lies are gone - The lies are gone, All the lies are gone, The lies are gone. Tempting fate and losing Friends along the way I loves No regrets I`m standing With a needle in my heart - Needle in my heart, Needle in my heart, Needle in my heart. You`ll never know My life means everything Still I scream because There`s nothing lift to do until the end. The world goes on With all that I`ve become And still I scream inside For all the pain I`ve taken hasen`t charged. Nothing`s changed at all The truth is like a chain Heaven`s calling me The place that I belong Killing pain - Killing pain. Close my eyes a million faces Get inside my mind. Take a breath and fill my troubled Soul with all mankind. Killing pain - Killing pain, I`m killing pain, Killing pain. You`ll never know My life means everything. Still I scream because There`s nothing left to do until the end. The world goes on With all that I`ve become. And still I scream inside For all the pain I`ve taken hasn`t changed... The man in black I`m coming back to spew my evil hate. My crown of horns and bloody thorns I`ll dig up what you fear. I am the shape that`s in your room that watches over you. I am the needle in your heart - Your disillusioned God. I am God, I am fate, I am all the sins you make, yeah - hate. I am black, I am white, I`m the blood upon the knife, yeah - hate. Since time began I made a vow to drag you underground; To steal your soul of purity and watch you waste away. I am pure, I am right, I`m the God that makes you fight, yeah - hate. I am life, I am death, I will steal your final breath, yeah - hate. I prey upon your broken dreams your weakness gives me strength. I`m laughing at your silent screams I`ll crush you will my hate. Yeah You take it all And face the fear that`s here Until the Silence Screams It leaves you with no choice to carry on. You`ll never fall When all is said and done The only Scream is here The journey never ends - it`s just begun... The lies that never learned The needles in my heart And things will never change So every time I scream I`m killing pain. |
