PURITANICAL EUPHORIC MISANTHROPIA

1. FEAR AND WONDER
Instrumental

2. BLESSINGS UPON THE THRONE OF TYRANNY

Infected by invalid behaviour
While capturing the stench of divine putrefaction
Confess to slavery for the world saviour
Give praise and inhale the corruption

The enfeebled provides the fool
The disabled provides the tool
The apathetic demands the affection
To those suffering from their own satisfaction

Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague
Testify today's contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed
Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress
Invite to another pleasure feast
The concealment of joyful laughter

The enfeebled provides the fool
The disabled provides the tool
The apathetic demands the affection
To those suffering from their own satisfaction

The decrepit innocence of your correctness and well-chosen
Elicits the source of the need for immediate forgiveness
Submit to no grace but the spiteful of your disease

Apply to join the unlimited disgrace and a settlement in the skies
And turn the confusion among your children into self-stimulation
The incarnation of your prostitution, the true efasevil in disguise

With the ignorance from your cross as the witness
The truth of your tragedy make you justice
In your mirror the high spirit of kindness
Looks like malice

Condemnation of life by the living dead, what a premature judgement, contradiction to the core
How unfortunate I am, cursed to spend time on a battle already won
The shame that will be guarding your grave says it all
Retreat to the crypt and make it worthwhile
Recall my sins furthermore but still be watching yours with a smile

Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague
Testify today's contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed.

3. KINGS OF THE CARNIVAL CREATION

Incarnated marvels simplified, effects from such a disconsolate kind
Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind

Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns
The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone

In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin
Through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind
Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth

Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies

An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate

With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well
Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin
Worshipped by anyone's mass on our planet hell, what on earth possessed you

Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues

Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception
Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions

Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface
And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect
With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil
Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin

With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well
Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin
Worshipped by anyone's mass on our planet hell, what on earth possessed you

Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues

Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen

Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times
Only death will be guarding your angels, silently
Cripples joining arms in clamour
Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted.

4. HYBRID STIGMATA - THE APOSTASY

The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear
Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass
Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh
The one in front of the mirror exceeds the image
Eager to leave further but chained still

To crumble into such nothingness, a despairing fate, for your lies
To pretend is the lunatic's legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy

Born lifeless into a world of coma as the chronic sufferer trapped in paradise lost
Missing insinuations of what life was meant to be
Angels and demons, a march man's bewildering hosts

The charlatans and deceivers walk the line in prejudice
The narrow slits the veins in search for the crown
Profound impatience makes the blind struggle in stupidity
The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor
Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside
How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful

Angels and demons, a march man's bewildering hosts

Holding the banner high, unrestrained
Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt
Still in costumes to please the ways of living
Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating

Make sure to be pleased with the ways of your death
For in days of reckoning and when the twilight torn is ticking
Elysium is halfway and as an answer to the plea
You're destined to yield fragments of hell in return

The charlatans and deceivers walk the line in prejudice
The narrow slits the veins in search for the crown
Profound impatience makes the blind struggle in stupidity
The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor

Angels and demons, a march man's bewildering hosts

Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience with the strength of the spiritual eye
Spirits of the token unchained and free
Recover from the philanthropic macabre frenzy
The pale dove grins, black at heart ready to flee
Demon to some
Angel to others.

5. ARCHITECTURE OF A GENOCIDAL NATURE

A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across the spectral fields
This landscape is not without a sense of epic wonder
A vast scale that places is sprawling underworld into a realm of frames

With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating without directions over this smouldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation
These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approached on another in an unpleasant way
Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it's state

This is where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep

Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps
It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse
It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents

Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile
Genes would still blindly carry on smouldering ember of hell
Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush
That sweep all traces of time, place and pattern

A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across the spectral fields
This landscape is not without a sense of epic wonder
A vast scale that places is sprawling underworld into a realm of frames

With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating without directions over this smouldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation
These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approached on another in an unpleasant way
Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it's state

Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization
Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly eliminated
The cornerstone of human emotions
Has now been drained away
I saw death of a most uncommon nature.

6. PURITANIA

Let chaos entwine
On defenseless soil

Remove errors of man
And sweep all the weakening kind

I am war, I am pain
I am all you've ever slain
I am tears in your eyes
I am grief, I am lies

Bygone are tolerance
And presence of grace

Scavengers are set out
To cleanse the human filth parade

I am pure, I am true
I am all over you
I am laugh, I am smile
I am the earth defiled

I am the cosmic storms
I am the tiny worms
I am fear in the night
I am bringer of light.

7. INDOCTRINATION

Oh, look at those lifeless leaves
All their precious pride is taken away
A lost creation for a graven image
Trembling of nothing but their own fear

On behalf of water made to wine
Elements of deception must entwine
Righteous greed and derangement divine
Vacuum is given to the blind

To surrender to a faith so fake
To not comprehend while you're awake
Thrive on your deity for heaven's sake

Do loose your battle before actual birth
For some sheep need the company of a shepherd

To face the scorn of the earth

Existential parasite drama across the lands
What a relief never bother the why's
Investing illusions and folding hands
The passion for mankind's ignorance feeding you lies

All those naked faces, empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest
Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust, the lambs of slaughter preoccupied in disgust

On behalf of water made to wine
Elements of deception must entwine
Righteous greed and derangement divine
Vacuum is given to the blind.

8. THE MAELSTROM MEPHISTO

Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside
Cast down all memories from a past and future world
The cynic icons and the cryptic writings
As a picturesque creation in force and spirit
Against their reason and will, it is time
Give darkness it's passion plea

The venomous tongue - The inevitable poison - Paralyze the angels
Freeze the forgiven - Baptize in fire - Unleash the devil at heart

Unleash the maelstrom mephisto

So sinner, mourn well
Make all the swans suffer in hell
The maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace
To revel and feast in undelivered grace

Pledged to judgmental arrogance in drawn principles of ignorant falsehood
To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself, a tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep

So sinner, mourn well
Make all the swans suffer in hell

In the dimness surrounding the towers of the castle where the ravens spread their wings out wide

Dwell in depths of the darker self at any shore of infinity
And watch the relentless paint the soil black
What is being formed echoes throughout eternity as the painter chooses color no more

Hold your shadows close when the comedy is over
As the days of mourning seem to be the days of joy
Fragments fell from the sky in order to penetrate the eyes
A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies... lies

So sinner, mourn well
Make all the swans suffer in hell
The maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace
To revel and feast in undelivered grace.

9. ABSOLUTE SOLE RIGHT

As cyclones detach from the world above
And all the other worlds beneath them flow
Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories
Sought, to strive in twilight mist and penal fire

As daylight suffers, night time recollects
For what wind hath drawn near, so near...

As daylight suffers, night time recollects
For what wind hath drawn near, so near...

Death has a contract on life and hell in-between
What was once not certain is now foreseen

When the pendulum is in its reverse factor
Rivers run red and skies turn black
Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within
Conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss

A magisterial maintenance of diabolic education
Where the opposite of innocence paves way for intelligence
Where pearls are chained for each tragic event

The glorification of deviance in progress

When the pendulum is in it's reverse factor
Rivers run red and skies turn black
Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within
Conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss

As daylight suffers, night time recollects
For what wind hath drawn near, so near...

The glorification of deviance in progress

As cyclones detach from the world above
And all the other worlds beneath them flow
Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories
Sought, to strive in twilight mist and penal fire

Liars in wait tries to quench their thirst for more
Drowning victims of a parallel universe

The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fouls
The world hates you for being precise.

10. SYMPOZIUM

Chains of despair cloaked by darkness
The thundering echoes of great destruction to come
Mankind's mysteries, the dying world

The dying world

Madness in it's sweetest form
What shrivels and dies must face the tempest
The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew

Anticipation mender through madness, condemned to the same horrid fate
Insanity applauds, how sharp the awakening
Pale as disease... Mocking... Maddening...
Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening

The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew

Anticipation mender through madness, condemned to the same horrid fate
Insanity applauds, how sharp the awakening
Pale as disease... Mocking... Maddening...
Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening

History foretold, the hidden stigmata
Totally annihilating the ecstasies innumerable, materialize the vision
Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening

What shrivels and dies must face the tempest
The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew.

Instrumental

12. Bonus Track: BURN IN HELL

Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in child, take my hand
Here there's no work or play
Only one bill to pay
There's just five words to say
As you go down, down, down

You're gonna burn in hell

Oh, burn in hell

You can't believe all the things I've done wrong in my life
Without even trying I lived on the edge of a knife
Well, I played with fire, but I don't want to get myself burned
To thine own self be true, so I think that it's time for a turn

Before I burn in hell

Oh, burn in hell

Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see?
It's black and it's dark, now is that how you want it to be?
It's up to you, what you do will decide your own fate
Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late

And then you'll burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you see no evil
Oh, burn in hell
Don't you lay no evil down on me
You're gonna burn in hell
Speak no evil, don't you think no evil
Oh, burn in hell
Don't you play with evil, 'cause I'm free

Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you
Lay no evil down on me
You're gonna burn in hell
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
You're gonna burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you
Lay no evil down on me
You're gonna burn in hell
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
You're gonna burn in hell

Hear no evil, don't you see no evil
Oh, burn in hell
Don't you lay no evil down on me
You're gonna burn in hell
Speak no evil, don't you think no evil
Oh, burn in hell
Don't you play with evil, 'cause I'm free
You're gonna burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you see no evil
Oh, burn in hell
Don't you lay no evil down on me
You're gonna burn in hell
Speak no evil, don't you think no evil
Oh, burn in hell
Don't you play with evil, 'cause I'm free
You're gonna burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you see no evil
Oh, burn in hell
Don't you lay no evil down on me
You're gonna burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you see no evil.
