2.	Man-Made Hell 01:51	lyrics	buy track
We’ve been living on this lonely planet For many years, hundreds of centuries, But we have never ever destroyed so much As we have done in recent times. We’ve turned our world into a man-made hell, Raising the ocean levels, melting both of the poles. We’ve turned our world into a man-made hell, Converting the rainforests into deserts. Globalisation, capitalism and industry Have put all forms of life down to their very knees. And now it might be late for us to fix the problems. We will just burn in our self-made oven. Who will explain to the newborn children that their ancestors didn’t give a shit? That they never took care of their only home, they didn’t think about those who were to come. We’ve turned our world into a man-made hell, Raising the ocean levels, melting both of the poles. We’ve turned our world into a man-made hell, Converting the rainforests into deserts. A man-made hell.
3.	Stabwound in your Back 01:46	lyrics	buy track
They sell the idea that you are free to choose, they make you feel that you will never lose. Going to vote as sheep go for the slaughter. Democracy at its finest, no separation of powers. Liars, robbers! They all wear suits and ties. Lawyers, judges, to the service of the state. You trust their words, worshipping them as saviors And with their actions they show they don’t give a shit. The next four years you will be complaining. Repeat the same thing again and again. And it feels like a goddamn stabwound in your back. And it hurts as a fucking stabwound in your back.
4.	Wrong Choice 01:05	lyrics	buy track
You choose harmless victims - just for fun. Kidnap, rape, kill - all in one. Somehow you didn’t - think about How the turntables. - It’s your time now! Killing feels good until you are the victim. You knew this day was going to come. You took a wrong choice, and there’s something clear: This is the mistake you’ll pay with your life. Die!
5.	The Tree of Science 02:03	lyrics	buy track
The Tree of Science kept some forbidden secrets. It was protecting mankind from itself. We took the fruit and knowledge then we found, But we ignored the key of understanding. - And we doomed ourselves to our own extinction. We were blinded by the benefits we found. Nuclear power was not a dream anymore. No salvation for the enemies abroad. One collision: millions of lives were destroyed. We doomed ourselves to our own extinction. No way back, no visible solution. The Tree of Science kept some forbidden secrets. It was protecting mankind from itself
6.	A Greater Being 02:11	lyrics	buy track
A worldwide deity has come to stay. It watches daily in a silent way. Connected to it, devoted you are. Feed it with data, give all you have. Social media: the new slavery. Mentally abducted, unable to see. The fire of your life, the light of your phone. You don’t realise you’re out of control. You have sold your soul to A Greater Being. It controls your mind with your consent. No escape from the machine. Now your soul belongs to it. Real life exists no more. Internet becomes your home. You have sold your soul to A Greater Being. It controls your mind with your consent.
7.	Devil is Calling 01:13	lyrics	buy track
Feeling miserable, condemned to despair. Your life sucks so much, no need for repair. Life is a cruel sentence, your body a prison cell. The way to escape the void: a needle in your vein. Cannot live another day. The Devil calls your name. Flying high, touching the skies. The Devil lives inside yourself. Your blood becomes poison, a deadly stream of greed. From the lock you’ve put on you’re searching for the keys. Devil is Calling!
8.	The Evolution Paradox 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Wasted - So many brains are wasted. Useless - Too many people are useless. The more I look around, the less I can’t believe How far we have taken our insane stupidity. The Evolution Paradox: The further we go the more idiot we become. You are not better than me; I am not better than you. We both swim in a pool of ignorance With a weight tied to our foot. We have failed as society, That's a truth we don’t want to see. And as we blindly move on We keep on destroying it all. The Evolution Paradox: The further we go the more idiot we become. Slaves to ignorance. Enslaved to our arrogance. The more I look around, the less I can’t believe How far we have taken our fucking stupidity. We have failed as society, That's a truth we don’t want to see. And as we blindly move on We keep on destroying it all.
9.	Mysticism 00:52	lyrics	buy track
You see her eyes, you gasp silently. You wish she was yours, but that’s just a dream. Why can’t you have her? You are a good guy! If only she knew she’d love you so bad. You follow her home, you watch from a corner. There’s something mystic about being her lover. You will hug her when she’s defenseless. You’ll take her home and love her forever. And if she screams “No!” Then you will bathe in her blood. Mysticism!
10.	Bloodstained Land 02:03	lyrics	buy track
No respect for human life. We only care for others’ land. Kill, enslave; steal and rape. We decided that’s their fate. Burn their houses, kill their children. Say their temples are all heathen. Are we all going insane? The goal is to dominate. We’ve built our civilization on bloodstained land. Killing for resources we didn’t have in our hand. We’ve built our civilization on bloodstained land. Murdering innocent people, no second chance. Kill, enslave; steal and rape. We decided that’s their fate. Are we all going insane? The goal is to dominate. Blood! We’ve built our civilization on bloodstained land. Killing for resources we didn’t have in our hand. We’ve built our civilization on bloodstained land. Murdering innocent people, no second chance.
11.	A Dead Among the Living 01:37	lyrics	buy track
Woke up early. Put on your shoes. Faking your smile, pretending to feel good. A Dead Among the Living. Scavenger of hope. You lost your way, there’s no way to escape. The system took over you. Doing your makeup. Wearing your prettiest shoes. Slave of big business. The Devil speaks through you. A Dead Among the Living. Scavenger of hope. You lost your way, there’s no way to escape. The system took over you. The system took over you!
12.	Minute to Midnight 01:58	lyrics	buy track
Too many people in this polluted Earth. Too many mouths to feed; Some are condemned to death. Global warming, Starvation and disease. We’ve pushed too far Our unconscious greed. Minute to Midnight. We are too close to the total end. Minute to Midnight. How many more warnings do we have to send? It is too late, There’s no way to survive The deadly fate We’ve put ourselves into. For we have brought More life than what was needed. Unconscious breeding, Its consequences kill. 8 billion people live - more than half will die. And when we all are gone there’ll be no remnants of the past. It is too late, There’s no way to survive The deadly fate We’ve put ourselves into.
13.	In-Famous 01:29	lyrics	buy track
Easy money, instantaneous gold. To TV moguls you've sold your soul. Followed by cameras, spotlight's on you. You feel adored, so famous and cool. They know your past, they'll guide your life. No chance to privacy, they buried you in lies. Your existence is meaningless, you're just a product. When they get bored, they'll throw you away. In-Famous!! You don't recognize yourself, what have you become?? In-Famous!! Careful what you wish because it might come true. TV moguls!! Fucking vultures!! In-Famous!
14.	Give Us Money or Pray for Death 01:14	lyrics	buy track
All along history we've been stealing (don't you see?) In the name of the beliefs predicated by our Lord. Give us money, give us gold. Give us everything you've got. Some would say we are greedy but it's all for our God. (Give us!) Give us money (Or pray) Pray for death. Pray for death!! We don't know another way And we don't care what y'all say! Give us money or pray for death!
15.	Like a Black Hole 02:46	lyrics	buy track
The days I don't wanna kill somebody I wanna kill myself To free myself from the spiral Of fake smiles and hopelessness. Sun feels cold, the air feels thick, Darkness is all I'm able to see. Will I ever leave this world Of self inflicted masochism? Like a Black Hole - I consume all there's nearby. Like a Black Hole - I reflect no light. No breathe, no cries, no warm hands, no daylight. Nothing can stop me from imploding Like a Black Hole.
16.	Damage and Liberation 01:41	lyrics	buy track
I crave pleasures Of the flesh - Of the skin To evade myself From the nightmare I live in. Leather straps, Handcuffs, Ropes - Anal plugs All for feeding The impending urge Of sexual lust. Damage And liberation. When I'm tied to a bed I feel the freedom. Caress my body With the boiling wax of a candle. The higher the pain The more the pleasure!
17.	Manifest of Hate 02:27	lyrics	buy track
There’s a kind of human species That we need to exterminate. They dwell in discrimination, Xenophobia and visceral hate. They adore long dead figures, An outdated lifestyle. Their traditions are all bullshit. If you tell them, they will cry. A Manifest of hate Against them all. A Manifest of hate! They will think they have the answer To the problems of this world. Those problems will disappear Only when they exist no more! Death is the solution Change just a delusion. Kill the involution Die as a conclusion! Together as one - to the war! Together as one - against them all! A Manifest of Hate! A Manifest of Hate!
18.	I Love Ur Voice 01:11	lyrics	buy track
You will meet my knife. I will scream your name. See your entrails ripped. Smell your bleeding flesh. “Help! Stop! Please, no more!” Bleed! Die! Scream! I want more! Torture through day and night. I don’t care what you beg. I have a whole in my garden With a tombstone with your name. I Love UR Voice!

20.	We are the Virus 01:34	lyrics	buy track
Killing the world for our purposes. Hoisting the flag of war at any time. Conquering land, exterminating people, But now we are being killed by an unseen enemy. (We are) We are the Virus (we are!)
