Rotting Paradise
A massive wound sustained Patience is lost Too familiar with pain No way to regain trust Emerging from the filth Rise, one by one Seeking to destroy this world of shit A horde of demons unleashed Upon the streets Relentless, hunting Sweeping, cleansing, washing away Emerging from the filth Rise, one by one Seeking to destroy this world of shit A horde of demons unleashed Upon the streets Relentless, hunting Sweeping, cleansing, washing away Out of sight Tucked away Left behind It ends this day The scum becomes the elite Bringers of death No cover holds it back A hunt for flesh Determined hate platoon Won't compromise Negotiations fail The welfare state now dies Bringing their man-made hell Reversed world order Destroy and desecrate Everything that was... Emerging from the filth Rise, one by one Seeking to destroy this world of shit A horde of demons unleashed Upon the streets Relentless, hunting Sweeping, cleansing, washing away No shelter, no cover, no hiding, nothing Reversing the order, the nameless made kings

All is quiet here Now that we’re used to fear Pitch-black skyline rules Oppressing walls enfold Beneath we walk in line Shadows out of time Labour the day away To rest in shallow graves Citizens of the cyclopean maze Sterile breed that grace forgot Lay down my fate Assimilate On the horizon the city awaits Relinquish the last shreds of humanity Towers of stone Built on my bones Carry the weight of indifferent souls Embraced by the chains of slavery Artificial light Is our only guide Numb we play the parts Concrete surrounds the heart Structure mesmerize Rotting paradise The will begins to slip To fight the comas grip Sewers below awash with our blood Black bled forth in putrid tides Lay down my fate Assimilate On the horizon the city awaits Relinquish the last shreds of humanity Towers of stone Built on my bones Carry the weight of indifferent souls Embraced by the chains of slavery By our own hands the metropolis thrives Deciding the fate of us all Like rats trapped in labyrinthine decay Our industry precedes our fall Lead: Anders Bertilsson By our own hands the metropolis thrives Deciding the fate of us all Like rats trapped in labyrinthine decay Our industry precedes our fall Lay down my fate Assimilate On the horizon the city awaits Relinquish the last shreds of humanity Towers of stone Built on my bones Carry the weight of indifferent souls Embraced by the chains of slavery

Too weak to resist the opportunity A daily struggle to remain clean Watching all wasted possibilities Reduced to a single human tragedy Distort and deny The similarities Too late to redeem Shame is suffocating the screams Viewing this world, strange and absurd Altered perception All visions blurred, cry out unheard Pounding aggression Afraid to face the harsh reality Symptom of sickness aggravates Neglect the outcast of society This nation is boiling with hate Evading all Responsibility Adjust the lies Blaming the hands that provide Viewing this world, strange and absurd Altered perception All visions blurred, cry out unheard Pounding aggression Pills alleviate the pain Cast down into hell again Point out the necessity Forced into recovery Stand before an ordeal of fire Obliged to face the undefeated Tempting, luring Deceived into the darkness Craving, aching Heading for the rush Viewing this world, strange and absurd Altered perception All visions blurred, cry out unheard Pounding aggression

Canine eyes, submissive mind, this came to shape my life Stand divided when the black dog is approaching fast Doubts arise, the leash is bound with straps that never tie It defies and despair is gaining ground at last Chased into the highest gear Tail between legs in fear Licking my bleeding wounds Facing this beast alone Can't outrun The black hound Safety distance has decreased On my own Severe wounds Fall prey when it comes unleashed Devouring every smile Smelling my fear, mile after mile Following every lead The black dog appears, superior breed Death resides, a lethal struggle where the strong survive Swallowed pride, falling straight into the blackest hole On four feet, standing on the bones buried beneath In conceit, always guarding to retain control A fight I will never win Facing its drooling grin Caught in this burning black No one to lead me back Can't outrun The black hound Safety distance has decreased On my own Severe wounds Fall prey when it comes unleashed Devouring every smile Smelling my fear, mile after mile Following every lead The black dog appears, superior breed

In the midst of my last attack Panic drags me into the black Weak and frail I leave myself behind In the darkness I am reborn Full of queries but all forlorn This new life will destroy my mind Passion or possession? I can't decide Engulfed by my life's obsession In questions I will hide Debating the solutions Lost and perplexed I'm stumbling through the confusion Quandaries so complex Battle in my head I look for answers but no one's there to guide me Battered by the dread That all my worries will remain inside me Drowned in desperation Border is crossed Heading towards obliteration In the paradox I am lost Sanity deteriorates Broken and torn Madness rapidly propagates Waiting to unleash the storm Battle in my head I look for answers but no one's there to guide me Battered by the dread That all my worries will remain inside me I'm lost in the paradox Quandaries so unorthodox Messing with my head, making me loose my mind So lost in the paradox Locked up inside the box There's a battle in my head, and I'm really loosing my mind... I'm slowly turning inside out As I question what it's all about The desperation feeds on me A ravenous cancer, tearing me apart Paroxysmal, evil death Lost in mind, lack of breath Paradoxical way to die So confused, I close my eyes

Your hands are the pestilence Everything shall crumble at their touch Lips drip of malevolence Tirades of hate erupt Fingers slithering unseen Reaching for the crown of tyranny Your breed is old Archaic, in control Shepherds to the weak Lords of the lie Holier than I The dogma blurs the vision Corruption lives within your flesh Incriminate High on the hate Secular circumcision The willing kneel until their death The last forgotten fear Relive the lie Your hands are at my throat Choking out the life behind my eyes Carnal tombs incorporate Those devoid of life Risen silhouette of majesty Induce hallucinating idiocy The immaculate die In the day of the hive The nightfall of my soul Lords of the lie Holier than I The dogma blurs the vision Corruption lives within your flesh Incriminate High on the hate Secular circumcision The willing kneel until their death The last bitter twist A joke played by god on me The plug is pulled And now I start to fade The last bitter twist Resurgence of a vicious breed At last I slip into The cold embrace of my god Lords of the lie Holier than I The dogma blurs the vision Corruption lives within your flesh Incriminate High on the hate Secular circumcision The willing kneel until their death

Visions from beyond Dance before my eyes Images of death and power Filling my mind Haunting me, seizing me Compelling me in dreams Epileptic fits Triggered in the brain My body convulses As they enter our domain Supernatural, eternal Watchers in the dark Spirits dead, enter me Lead me to my destiny Dig a grave for the morrow Voices old, speak through me Words of blind iniquity Revelations through seizures Another episode My mind went blank again Can't seem to shake the fear of things I cannot comprehend Alone but not forsaken Father hear my call What dwells beneath these streets Lurking in the black Hidden from the eyes of men But glimpsed in my attacks I have seen, I believe And I will light the way ...for my masters Oh, how sweet they sing When the darkness comes alive Nighttime alleys now teem With the whispers of a new sorrow Disembodied voices beckon me From the corridors of time Anticipation grows as light gives way And shadows rule the earth Spirits dead, enter me Lead me to my destiny Dig a grave for the morrow Voices old, speak through me Words of blind iniquity Revelations through seizures Revelations Weak distorted frame Exudes pure hostility Eyes like the insane All-enslaving Pitied and revered, Sick beyond all remedy Walks beside the plague I am prophet Hear my teachings Face the end

So grand; my design All vast and divine Becoming my masterpiece A carnal creation A full-blown elation My chores now commence with ease Bring metal and tubes! Bring blood as lube! Gather all parts and flesh My monster to be Will change history The bastard son of death Behold! My pride, my ungodly machine... Bolts and bones; skeletal blasphemy Screws and joints; metallic monstrosity Wired wounds; blood corroded and black Leaded skin; riveted and cracked Deep down in my lair Working with care Adjusting the final parts The inanimate Soon boiling with hate Fueled up with human hearts Construction's complete So beautiful and sweet But still there is more to do I must be one With my new son Merge into something new Alas! I've become god of the machine Engine's churning Liquids burning Twisting and turning This metallic monster is awakening Monumental Experimental Fundamental Arise to the day of reckoning God in chrome Home from home Hear it roam! Turning all life into coal A sudden shock Beast amok Closed and locked A rebellion that I can't control An inner turmoil Machine in rage Patricidal development Rejected by my creation This is the end The sky goes dark Monolithic reaper Dying through the metal death

Recluse of a world within Here I can let no one in To your eyes I am unseen Ostracized perpetually Silently I lie in wait Goaded by the games you play Any day my time will come Retribution with a gun Silence broken, darkness falls Striking from the grey to ascend above you all Terror risen, death inflicted Deliverance of the rejected Suicide, bridges burn Final destination on a path of no return Kneel and confess before you die Morbid fantasies you said Tried to dig inside my head Everyday I've felt the pain The suffering won't stay away Fueled by nihilistic rage I'll lay your little world to waste A legacy you all will fear After I am gone from here Silence broken, darkness falls Striking from the grey to ascend above you all Terror risen, death inflicted Deliverance of the rejected Suicide, bridges burn Final destination on a path of no return Kneel and confess before you die This guise Vaporous Reduced, pathetic image Shapeshifter Transforming Becomes the unrelenting Carnage Become me Consume and elevate me Their lives Dead, rotten Their sick vain dreams forgotten Their sick vain dreams forgotten
