They called me a heretic So I deserved nothing but torment For what they seemed to see In my views First they arrested me And locked me into a cell A chamber that was out of reach For the light of day In The darkness, I heard things I've never heard before Step by step I began to feel empty and faint After days of attrition They started their procedure A bestial torture They called me a heretic So I deserved nothing but torment For what they seemed to see In my views A mummed torturer entered the room A relentless man without remorse Bloodshed wasn't allowed by the church So he used other ways to violate me He put screws into my thumbs And into my knees He blemished my body With blistering steel My neck was enfeebled By a tremendously heavy rosary With broken bones And luxated arms I was no longer able to walk, No longer able to grip Mutilated because of my ideas They called me a heretic So I deserved nothing but torment For what they seemed to see In my views

Since time immemorial Mankind tries to ‘correct’ From its point of view Plants and creatures Don’t seem to be perfect ‘The pride of Creation’ Humans carry things too far Their megalomania fathomless Their greed is never satisfied So human beings start vandalizing Their natural environment By studying their roots They set up a theory of evolution The examinations show That mutation defines the biological progression This fact causes a huge fascination They started some experiments With vegetables and animals Breeding new races A competition at the cost of a virgin earth Ruthless, cold-blooded and disrespectful Towards flora and fauna They dismember their surroundings Just striving to dominate god’s creation With every step they take They go deeper into the secrets of genetic To dublicate life Now human beings annul the nature Defying their evolution Theory Men laugh into the face of a god that They’ve created Now that he is obsolete Outmoded The domination of god’s creation Delusions of grandeur Men laugh into the face of a god that They’ve created Now that he is obsolete Outmoded

Atomic Warfare – A horror vision Becomes reality Only three steps – Base for the calamity In the beginnings of the 20th century, A chemist starts atomic research After operose years he discovers the fission This day marks the birth of the atomic age A detection changes the whole world Its malpractice could end it all forever Genesis: Birth of the atomic age Trinity: They experience the annihilating force Carnage: Ekpyrosis During the war the military gets hold of This knowledge But the chemist doesn’t want to be part of Their scheme And armed forces search for a way to Exploit the fission energy For a weapon of mass destruction The world leaders open an inexorable struggle For the realization of the first atomic bomb Then some scientists crack the riddle They devise trinity Like an explosion that’s not of this earth The harbinger of carnage Genesis: Birth of the atomic age Trinity: They experience the annihilating force Carnage: Ekpyrosis Just to demonstrate their lethal weapon They attack and kill thousands of innocents Craving for Global ascendance For him it was a groundbreaking discovery But now the chemist wishes that he could Revoke everything

Ignorance, intolerance No acceptance from your vicinity Nonobservance, ejection You are trapped but you want to flee Ostracized and disdained Your life feels like a heavy burden Social exclusion Is part of your daily routine You’re searching for recognition But no one regards you Not anybody You start creating your own world A world that exists in your head Where you can not be passed over No outcast anymore The illusion grows inside your mind You want it to be real All shall be left behind Forgotten You’re going deaf, dumb and blind Totally numb Depressive You lose relation to reality It begins to dawn on you The only to find peace of mind Is to fulfill your desire It’s going to dominate you Lost Possessed Driven by your phantasmagoria You start to execute it Now it’s time for revenge They all must pay For what they’ve done Nobody knew your name But from this day forth Everyone will know who you are You thought it would Be your catharsis Too see all your Tormentor’s suffer You’ve lost yourself In animosity And there is still no other person Than yourself Look at you now You’re still alone Your face will be remembered Remembered as an icon of indignity Indignity You couldn’t change What hurt you the most And now this horrible pain hurts you Even more Ignorance, intolerance Nonobservance, ejection Social exclusion Defines you

Obsessed by power They want to eliminate us Their urge for mastery Makes them merciless They spread their doctrine Full of racialisms An inhuman Race ideology Deported to this baneful place Just waiting to be slain We are treated like the Unadulterated filth We are treated like toxic waste Although they discern us By the colors of our badges In the end We will die the same way Persecution Due to hate “Final solution” For what? Who can do this with a Clear conscience? Violent Lunatic War leads to nothing Disrespect of human rights Keep World War II in mind An awful endeavour An insane outrage In the concentration camp We’re split into groups Groups formed to us suffer Some of us shall simply be shot to death Others become victims in human experiments Doomed to work for the enemy Several camp inmates Have to prepare The most vicious murder instrument of All time The gutless guards dread the infestation So we have to fill in the deadly gas Zyklon B Our lives end in screams Sickening Savage War leads to nothing Negation of human rights Keep the holocaust in mind This rancid felony This iniquity The allied forces see behind the curtain They notice that they must intervene As they arrive at the place of our Martyrdom Our dastard tormentors – already Absconded Too coward to pay for their atrocities

Born into this world I learned the bitter truth About living in a world of war Since I was a child I was always drilled to kill Constant rejection of my free will Impelled by their wrath They rear troops of rage Biological warfare – I shall become their gun My childhood controlled by their lies My innocence raped by their ignorance No individuality – Domination of the group My childhood, torn to shreds Absurd phrases Raven my thoughts Despondency takes command Black despair compels me Destroys me Pestilence Pointless malediction I’m the spawn of their malevolent nation My war starts at the sharp end I have to face what they call ‘fiend’ Now I’m a weapon Without a choice Who is the villain? Who is to blame? I wait a second and I aim In my ballistic curve There is just my head I’m no longer part of this terror I’m no longer part of this disease Salvation by suicide

Observe Supervise Survey No liberty for the masses Pursue Control Monitor My function was to find out New system to protect humans To bring more security I was the engineer For a new era of surveillance In times of egomania and hypocrisy, All the world seemed to be corrupt, Conniving and dangerous The menace was in every corner People didn’t know who to trust, What to think Or whom to follow The gap between the rich and the poor Grew bigger A two class society was born The rich became victims of their own greed While the poor fought for their existence As long as people live in fear, They’re manipulative So the affluent ones Tried to stoke the fears of the weak To enact new laws These laws should bring more safety But they just made the public More glassy The government wanted To be omnipresent I developed techniques For their ideas Now could follow every footstep With their interception-machine When times became harder A new breed of surgents Started their rebellion Against the observation regime Most of them were put away Before they could cause substantial changes A minor treatment By taking material about these riots out Of context And by broadcasting it, The regnancy wanted to seed more anxiety Panic Hysteria Ready for anything The public allowed New ‘safety measures’ I had always been the tool To fulfill their plans But now my employers Wanted me to leave Driven by their persecution complex They realized that Even I became a risk I knew too much about their monitoring system After years of supervising I understood what I did The total violation of privacy I misused the fears of the infirm To quiet the paranoia of the strong I was trapped in this world That I generated No longer free to do what I want It was impossible to stop this progress Those things which were thoughts Can never be unthought An evolution backwards The downward spiral
