Sinews of Anguish
"All hell has broken loose upon the world What we do today will send us to the depth of our own Creation tomorrow" Oh, we stand behind you with fortitude We stand behind you in the midst of danger; you will sigh and weep Oh, we have not vanished in the ending storm We have not lost our saviour in the nightly fire raging storms Now... we're giving you the death blow Be wishing for the death row My sorely-tested people Now... we're standing on a knife's edge Ready to give the final pledge Much deeper and more profound Oh, we are facing our own decay We shall all face the force of hate and speed along the inner rot Oh, we shall not waver nor shall we fail We shall not fail under the pain we bear, defending our lands Now... we're giving you the death blow Be wishing for the death row My sorely-tested people Now... we're standing on a knife's edge Ready to give the final pledge Much deeper and more profound Lead: L. Ström Oh, my star is famished, threatening to crash My star will never shine again; it's covered by dark clouds of rout Oh, our fiend is forceful, breaking our will Our fiend is fighting, burying all the hopes to live and die in peace Oh, please take me back To my chambers of darkness Now... we're giving you the death blow Be wishing for the death row My sorely-tested people Now... we're standing on a knife's edge Ready to give the final pledge Much deeper and more profound Outro thematic lead: M. Mendelssohn

Free me from these nasty chains, pull the same robe of tragedy Don't forget what blind hate stole, bite into my hidden frontier Rebel forces familiar with arms, fuming livid plots of despair Interventions go wild with belief, overpowered by cagey disease Torn apart by the blitzing thunderbolts Screams are piercing through the dark Speed-raging sharks of death and decay Re-emerging from behind the veil of nights We are burning out their might Bring out the sparks of bliss and delight Laurel wreath of victory, wilderness, sham prophecies Nights of fire have cast a glow over sleeping humanities Draw on forces to guard and shield, city of death and unity Revolutions and playing God; drag themselves through calamity Torn apart by the blitzing thunderbolts Screams are piercing through the dark Speed-raging sharks of death and decay Re-emerging from behind the veil of nights We are burning out their might Bring out the sparks of bliss and delight Lead: A. Larsen Save us from this tortured evil, deliver us from evil torture Henchmen of the damned let loose the agonizing lurking glows Lead us to the end of hell, lead us to the blessing well Instruments of God; an after-echo of a worthless war Lead: A. Larsen In the face of ghastly creatures, in the face of the feeble-minded Fear of hounding, fear of pounding, fear of the preserving silence Enmity in the ranks of peace, enmity in the breathing deceased Marks the end of sheer devotion, radiation reigns supremely Thematic leads: M. Mendelssohn Torn apart by the blitzing thunderbolts Screams are piercing through the dark Speed-raging sharks of death and decay Re-emerging from behind the veil of nights We are burning out their might Bring out the sparks of bliss and delight Torn apart by the blitzing thunderbolts Screams are piercing through the dark Speed-raging sharks of death and decay Re-emerging from behind the veil of nights We are burning out their might Bring out the sparks of bliss and delight Behold the night and witness your life, witness it all fade away Take the blame and burn the flame for the state of emergency Horror and caution, final dawn of precaution, the innermost circle of hell Utter defeat has made us all bleed; the heart of the world is destroyed

Acoustic lead: M. Mendelssohn Emerging from the skies of revulsion Causing hurt and misery Victorious powers become ever stronger Haunted by suspicion Robbed from my substance, provoking turmoil Inclination to the cult Practice the duty of obedience Blinding pact of death Lack of hope, worst case scenario Unable to prevail Consolidate our balance of power Afflicted by the damned Badly marked by raging rumble Claims to death command Find the strength in isolation Out of sensation Vital slip of waning judgement Undefeated hopelessness Strain of faces growing hard Break determinations It's the war of the flowers We'll take what is ours Our lone power ruler Still alive and hunted Seal the final triumph The bitter fruits of evil Thematic lead: M. Mendelssohn Lit the fuse, oh bearer of hope and bring the seeds of war Call for order, resignation; bring us to the boil Corpulent personality will crush you to the core Restore in strength, sad winds will raise my pinnacle of power Statement of solidarity Spartan way of life Will to endure, subside in rubble No reality behind it Macabre climax, raging battle Steam-rolling hell Frail attempt to stop the grief Spear-headed devil Faint domain of bliss forlorn Mystical defeat Rob me from the will to die Summon the second coming It's the war of the flowers We'll take what is ours Our lone power ruler Still alive and hunted Seal the final triumph The bitter fruits of evil Thematic lead: M.

Thematic flute solos on this track by Cheryl Pyle The fear is closing in on us Let the carnival of Cain commence We'll never see the end of days, submit to the pain We shall no longer hold the cards, shatter all rules Hatred confronting hatred Making room for the final clash We're setting foot on a soil that once destroyed our homes Now the panic is changing side; brief shining flash Adapting to hardships and boundaries Hung in the balance, directing our doom We have fallen prey to the lackey of death In order to paint us as invaders, we fall Slow agony of starvation Open eruption of hostility We shall drag the world into destruction with us No prospect of peace raining down from the sky Acoustic lead by L. Ström Close your eyes, my friend Leave the twinge behind Close your eyes again I'll never leave you Smug and arrogant Bound to throttle us Earning world-wide acclaim Age of diffidence Rigidly holding out Battles of argument Men of illusion break Fall of an idol Summoned to coup d'état Distant from the deed Fear marching with us Retreating into delusions x 3 Spoken words by Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933-1945: "Nun, Volk steh auf, und Sturm brich los" "Now, People rise up, and let the Storm break loose" These are the final words of his famous "Total War" speech delivered on 18 February 1943 in the Berlin Sportpalast

Intro lead: M. Mendelssohn Seeing the growth of the frightening suffering Pain puts on claws, we're streaming westward in disarray Dragging a dead man's greatcoat over onto my soul Falling into a deep sleep waiting for silent times Recommendations in a dying world See the terror and hatred unfurl Stern display of the horror show The sight is the same wherever you go Frame of mind is taking lives It cannot be altered The misdeed of strangers Inflaming the giants Groaning bodies are dressing wounds We're the sideshow to the main event Giving injections to infinity Casus belli; they will not repent... their sins Leaving the dead in the rear of my tangled dreams Oncoming fever fills my body with twisted thoughts Standing on top of hell, watching the men who fell Forces of pain take on a new and alarming face Gloomy foundations are all that remains Fortifications brought to disarray Representations of a failing race Disintegration and permanent wounds Frame of mind is taking lives It cannot be altered The misdeed of strangers Inflaming the giants Groaning bodies are dressing wounds We're the sideshow to the main event Giving injections to infinity Casus belli; they will not repent... their sins Overlord, vanguard of secrets The answers out of reach now Vainglory right before my eyes... keep drivelling on Semi-zombies bound to throttle Opinion makers' nightmare Activity deep in the night... political sham fight Tell me how and we shall conquer The bloc will rule no longer They are supremely insecure...in a world of wreckage Safeguard, rampart, shattered backbone Revenge in gesture of kindness Attention to the plight of prisoners... stunned to disbelief Outro lead: L.

Rushing along the smooth road after the great purge Sentenced civilian saboteurs The idealism of the men fades away now Brought to a halt by endlessness Leading us all into the noble disaster Rejoin the battle; no respite Outmanned and out-gunned, pile of staggering victims We're playing a part in widespread lies... please lead me Come and save me from agony Bear a wreath to my cenotaph And before long you will see That history will ambush us All the years we spent in vain All the years we spent in pain True believers, follow me Come (and) taste my stainless steel We're taking part in executions of millions Caught up in circumstances' maze Mass deportation, squads of terror on duty In order to reach the goal of victory Adapt to a lifestyle; hardship, horror and hatred Personal instrument of death Doctrines of conquest from belligerent powers Ultimate cataclysmic showdown... please lead me Come and save me from agony Bear a wreath to my cenotaph And before long you will see That history will ambush us All the years we spent in vain All the years we spent in pain True believers, follow me Come (and) taste my stainless steel The stalemate goes on with bodies stuck in the streets But this unspeakable moment will not last Burst over borders, stop the three-pronged offensive No one will find salvation; tension's high The premise for war will make the first move to strike No longer bound by oath, lightning campaign Yet neither side dares make the first move to strike After collecting the dead, a shot rings out Lead: L. Ström Come and save me from agony Bear a wreath to my cenotaph And before long you will see That history will ambush us All the years we spent in vain All the years we spent in pain True believers, follow me Come (and) taste my stainless steel
