Grim Perceptions

Born from the womb You still can't walk but must reach for the moon Suckle up dreams Visions of futures they've never foreseen Grasp for a hold Either fall back or take the path of the bold Quick to catch on No meat for the weak so take it from dawn Deep down emotions are staged – Internal masks The keys to my existence – Tormented thoughts Hideous breed, so full of hate Despise myself… excruciate Wasted life, why shall I wait? Breathe from below...annihilate You still can't walk but must reach for the moon Suckle up dreams Visions of futures they've never foreseen Grasp for a hold Either fall back or take the path of the bold Quick to catch on No meat for the weak so take it from dawn Sailing my thoughts into oblivion On a sea of grief that's not my own What wired sorrow is this I feel? The body so light, the brain like steel BELOW! Bring forth the overwhelming deviltry Growing out from the evil in me No regrets; do what you're told Run away, life uncontrolled In your mind your fate is whole Impersonate, act out... barren soul! Gone, a thread of smoke I became Folded the hand with a perfect game Lost in the deep, no air to breathe Feels like I'm drowning, I've been deceived Hideous breed, so full of hate – hate Despise myself…excruciate – hate Wasted life, why shall I wait? – hate Breathe from below...annihilate

They want to make my mind so void I will not be their human android Life on the run since the night has fought the sun Their prying eyes when I sleep I hear my cries Won't get my soul no and that they can't control No one can see but my freedom lies in me Inhale man-made air Poisoned to hypnotize Obeying everywhere, Exhale smiling lies Life on the run since the night has fought the sun Their prying eyes when I sleep I hear my cries Won't get my soul no and that they can't control No one can see but my freedom lies in me Can't I go?! Where can I go? Fell on the ground! Foam in the mouth! Gasping for air! No way to shout! My trembling hands! Stiff like a corpse…a cramp in my heart… Fell on the ground! Foam in the mouth! Gasping for air! No way to shout! My trembling hands! Stiff like a corpse…a tear in my heart… I see no way out! Only shit! Peace is just a fraud… commit! We are all but cheap…toys! Let the game go on… On and on till death's sweet song…Perceived threat goes on! There is no safe place, see it all, hear it all In a world of lenses, in a sea of bugs Deserts of independent characters on display Self determination through plug-and-play lies On and on till death's sweet song…Perceived threat goes on! …a cramp in my heart… Fell on the ground! Foam in the mouth! Gasping for air! No way to shout! My trembling hands! Stiff like a corpse…a tear in my heart…

Sail ho me you squiffy men Belay those ropes…pull them sails Those ain't no brethren of the coast Thar be no slouching whilst ye raise Avast yer bilgin', prepare to overhaul Man the rigging you bunch a scallywags Hoist the anchor; I feel the glint of gold Can't you smell the bounty, me filthy swabs!? Scourge of the seven seas! And so they set on another hunt With thirst for gold, the thrill of the kill Hoisting the colors with a scurvy grin Feeding the cannons, blazing away After the boarding, a slashing fest In pools of blood they gather their loot Chest full, our purse, be stronger Fetch the den past blue yonder My going back again Is like walking the plank Rather die than live Surrounded by filth Bound to a fate I chose My cursed life as a thief I guess I'd rather drown Than dance the hempen jig My trade over my doubt No prey, no pay, no way Been measured for me chains Shrug off and grab a draught Voice in his head Faces of dead Sweat down his back Stare to the black Ghosts on the mast Soar down attack Sail ho me you squiffy men Belay those ropes…pull them sails Those ain't no brethren of the coast Thar be no slouching whilst ye raise Lost core, steal more, thieving to save my hide Sail off, bring down, conform or get marooned One day I'll die, forgotten buckaneer Never escape… entrapped in the den of the dogs Again they set on another hunt With thirst for gold, the thrill of the kill Hoisting the colors with a scurvy grin Feeding the cannons, blazing away 'Cos dead men tell no tales!

Welcome to this frantic world of addicts, doped up slaves and servants of greed… pain breeding pain… Leaking away from your shivers of fear! Voting for void, praying for naught... Blind leading the blind… they cannot see what lies ahead when the sunlight has faded and the moonlight is dead! Chaoscope! Disordered state of embryonic nothingness Chaoscope! Lethargic dream of imposed knowledge The mind remains delicately suspended on the matter and infinite space supposed to have existed before the ordered universe as the self leaps from the dynamical system that has a sensitive dependence on its initial conditions into an orderly and obedient state of being Now you must step to accept all the past behind you, breaking the boundaries of what you've been through locked up inside of you. From the needle to the bottle you face a disconnected legacy you will never see an end to this savagery Keep on reaching for some sanity…pain breeding pain… Tweaking away on a sleepless leer…going insane… Minds entwined…Leaving behind the human me... Chaoscope! Disordered state of embryonic nothingness Chaoscope! Lethargic dream of mandatory blindness

All of you who don't believe, your fate I now conceive Deluge of death… Can't you respect me?! The one who learned from hate, that life can suffocate Rage of pain…Can't you respect me?! You go about your life, all set to be demised Deliverance…Can't you respect me?! No more lies! No more light! Face your doom…You will respect me! My plan is now devised, they will call it suicide Flash of flames…Can't you respect me?! Pool of blood! Heap of flesh! Face your doom…You will respect me! Sinister dance, dusk of war - Dawn of tears, burning corpses When I push the trigger, life will cease to be A raging ball of fire, no time to plea As I go off I'll become What you came to fear Squeal in awe, this time the plan has got no flaw All the news will speak of me and how I came to be a soldier and a "Martyr of the Lord" No, the truth they will not see, it's just a killing spree. I'll never be ignored! Damage done! No way you'll get to Heaven. No, you won't enjoy eternal bliss Life is gone! Splattered around in chunks of meat recognized by the record of your teeth All of those who don't believe, their fate I now conceive Deluge of death…Can't you respect me?! The one who learned from hate, that life can suffocate Rage of pain…Can't you respect me?! All those lies…Realize…Was sold out!?…You did not respect me?! Squirt of blood from my chest. It's my doom. The sniper saw me… My dance with death, dusk of war - Dawn of tears, my bleeding carcass You think you've won but I grip the switch...Blood shot eyes!

No, this time they won’t hold me They can’t keep me locked away Dehumanized To never find a “why” And keep me in a lie, NO! Then you realize That you need to compromise Mesmerized Eyes open wide But still kept blind! Turn back! May find a way around the corner No time to stop, can’t feel, go under When you say that now you got it They make you start again…NO…NO! The prize was sweet, the catch was simple: “Come on, we’ll free you from the pain. Surrender your thoughts and ambitions Your life will never be the same!” Where? I can’t see. Walls ahead… feed off my own insanity Sucked in - Stripped out Never go back - Nor break out Slow! To and fro where do I go? Why? Can’t I leave this place behind? Never give up Forever run from closing walls And then kneel down and comply! Now I believe, a web made of ignorance Must I submit? Or just lie down and die? Blocked by the blinding light Bring on the promised sight Caught by your wheel I run alone, my fate is sealed Yes! I’m here… They’ve let me find the door Now, I won I’ve broken through the maze Yes, He’s there We’ve let him find a door Now reset (the game) And start again

Grind!? Soulless breed of screeching body, steel apocalypse that crawls with nowhere to escape from the lifeless beast that comes alive through the killing madness of puppet-like men. So many dead, so little time The waltz of fire in those dying eyes A bloodbath of bodies Scratch from inside my mind Monster roar of bursting shells Those who ride in guts of hell Soldier boy look what you’ve done Grinding people, Satan’s fun Mutual assured destruction Under the dead shine of stars Iron Machine-Tormentor The land bleeds from open scars Feel the beast grind solo So many dead in so little time The twister of some mad demon child Cruel breed intruder Rules from inside my mind Monster roar of bursting shells Those who ride in guts of hell Grind!

Die! “O joy! O glee! It’s time! Faster … Go through the dead, do the bidding of our Master…” “O joy! O glee! It’s time! Faster …” Voices in my head they sing it for their master… I see! They come! I hear their growls Dancing while they do the harvest of the souls “We’ll die together!” was the lie that they pinned on me Taking lives seeking the “Truth”. Seeking their Truth… The putrid smell of flesh and gutted viscera Blood soaks the battlefield The wrath of angry crows picking on eerie bones Paces their grim task…the demons’ hunt! My life’s gone! I don’t wanna die! EGH!!! “Look at this one! He’s about to die…Now” Take your last breath Hoping for a Garden of delight Gasp your last sigh It’s your soul that we will demonise Let your ghost arise You will obey and dance with us Together we’ll fight to conquer and destroy Your death begins Just spin and sing, do the demons’ dance! “O joy! O glee! It’s time! Faster … Go through the dead, do the bidding of our Master…” “O joy! O glee! It’s time! Faster … Sing it with me so we will rejoin our Master…” “Fall back! Join us! It’s now! In line… Learn quick and then chant the song we call divine” “We’ll die together!” was the lie that they pinned on me Taking lives seeking the “Truth”. Seeking their Truth… The putrid smell of flesh and gutted viscera Blood soaks the battlefield The wrath of angry crows picking on eerie bones Paces our grand task while the demons hunt! “And thus my work grows…” Agh! Ugh! Egh! Agh! Ugh! Egh! No! Fall back! Join us! Behold the gaze of a demon’s face It’s now! In line! As the bodies fall, the flames will take their place Fall back! Join us! Bow down! Sure as the dark follows the dance of the burning star Rip…cut…go fulfil my bid! …and the demons hunt!
