Manipulate To Desecrate 06:19
lyrics

Can't leave well enough alone All that's there you call your own Not for you, you'll change your fate Manipulate to desecrate You take all that's in your grasp No one knows you wear your mask I will fight while you will take Manipulate to desecrate I'll carry on As if nothings going on Blood on my hands I bleed it's my only plan I will stand tall I will hold on I won't fall Going is slow I won't give in I won't let go Catastrophic is your style Selfishness I find so vile change the word with all your hate Manipulate to desecrate I've lost battles you've won wars I won't give in I'm back for more Lose this time is what you'll take Manipulate to desecrate Over now the scares are there I can't tell whether you care Sword of truth the dragon slain Live the truth forgive the pain Fought so hard exhausted now To live again I'll find out how Pressure gone and freedom gained Live the truth forgive the pain So nice it's friends you say But it's always been that way With eye on you I'll do the same Live the truth forgive the pain Want this to be the last time Got too close to lose my mind Leave things be and we'll stay sane Live the truth forgive the pain The pain...

Alone drifting my mind an ocean Sense failing sleep has awakened Fly over forests how did I get here? Detach the problems in my mind forget fear How can I escape my mind? It is full of infinity Forever moving to the wall To find that it's not there A single path won't conquer me All roads are open Unchain the binds that hold me down This is fulfilment Into the void, endless awaits me I won't collide with a thing there's no fear Cannot will not stop I'll be patient Reaching inside for an unknown location How can I escape my mind? It is full of infinity Forever moving to the wall To find that it's not there A single path won't conquer me All roads are open Unchain the binds that hold me down I am now free I can save myself from me Find out how I can break free

Tunguska 05:13
lyrics

With the Shaman's mind Lords of thunder rise Birds of prey, disease a plague Our enemies must die Unholy night breeds festering light Adgy have risen From unknown they point the bone Goodbye Tunguska! Fireball, 800-mile wall of death Thunderous boom, crushing silence' defening breath Tremours, shaking earth shattered souls Destruction, Comet? Asteroid? Renegade black hole? Matchsticks have fallen, the forest no more Landscape decrepit and bare Genetic mutations the cesspool complete A tangled world a twisted hole Shadow of time a Shaman's curse Answers still evade Unexplained forgotten and lost But so much pain, Tunguska Madness triumphant Sciences scarred Energies legacy Another mans sword Worlds demise Imminence blame Another mans loss Tesla's game Comet ancient energy crimson snow Meteor mineral storms rumours grow Supernova matters loss is nothing's gain Unexplained Tunguska hell memory's bane Good-bye Tunguska

Hidden deep from eyes The light has dimmed - it's faded Frozen, buried still alive Is it there are you listening? It can tear through you If you don't understand it The animal instinct, a killer's heart Is waiting, watching, ready to claim you (it says) Hear my voice, little man You can't kill but I can Always there, I am you Feel my wrath, I claim you We will be, last standing All others, hurt dying Let me out, set me free We'll be friends, you and me Can you feel its hunger? See its greedy eyes? Impassioned pleading cries for release Will continue haunting you How strong is your will? Can you keep it buried? Can you dismiess it away for good? Or maybe you liek what you hear This is A test of my strength Can I Can I resist Suffer Suffering I know Calling Calling out my name

I Fall To Pieces 03:33
lyrics

Watching waiting crawling Bleeding for her love Her sweet toxication Crush my feeble mind Lying beside her Pleading for quick death Chained to the memories Drowning in her bed Thoughts of you converge to fire Burning aching with desire Naked flesh arouse my fear Where is the voice I need to hear She's the sight that burns my eyes Liquid death mixed with her lies Her blood pounding through my veins This burning lust loves to main Can't deny her morbid highs She beckons me between her thighs Her blood pounding through my veins this burning lust loves to main Love and bloody doom Curse her rotting tomb Can't escape outside To live must die inside Slow strangulation Carnal fornication Slow strangulation Carnal fornication

Wisdom 03:47
lyrics

Feeling the strain of a life full of consciousness How can I hide when I'm my worst enemy I can't find peace in myself When all I am is pieces When sleep doesn't come to me where can I seek it I've been searching around for years I've found my place in the sun I'm there burning consumed by flames I've found freedom in the form of a long leash Searching for the light, some things I cannot reach How can I falter? When failure is what I expect from myself I can now alter The future because unseen I don't exist I cannot die How can you die when you are not alive? My shattered soul Is reconstructed stronger than you will know I will arise How far can I falter?

Sick of the sound of my voice Ear bleeding from the terrible noise Unlocked my leaden cage To unleash all my white hot rage Want to crush all inside Want to have death to be my bride ...to be my bride I hear the scream It's just a dream Fight a lost cause Life's rushing past I'm fading fast No time to pause My will is weak I must believe To carry on Cry for help no one hears I'm left alone to face my fears Endure torment survive Struggle endlessly, stay alive Wrench demon from my back While I am strong I must attack ...I must attack Nemesis haunting me Taking all I can be Stalk the land Knife in hand Time to make one last stand Life is pain blood is life Chose to live live to die Live to fight to breath Live to fight to breath You die!

The movements are the same I am the one to blame My hairs stand on end I've killed my last friend Demons and darkness won my heart From death's embrace I'll never part Blood tastes rusty salty sweet Dripping with gore from head to feet You see your face upon my sword You gave your life for your lord In the night I hear your silent cry I will extract all your filthy lies Lusting for blood and war I am the greater demons whore Malefic ways I must confide Upon the broken wings I glide Fields of white Now endless night for darkened day I'll always pray Don't wander of the night My claws are poised to strike There I will always be do not come in search of me You see your face upon my sword You gave your life for your lord In the night I hear your silent cry I will extract all your filthy lies
