Screaming from seas of no-life We're shutted upon tuned-black sky This dawn won't bring us light Nothing we see will come to heal us Our world is filled with stains We can't wash away Nothing that they inject into us Will ever react Is there anything Pure left for me? As cavies without cages Who stole our light? Who smells our fear's stench? He keeps on tearing us From the abyss He keeps us in life To see nothing in the mirror Sweet path of silent execution Just set us free For we'll adore you To celebrate the silent oppressor Until the chain breaks Then the raving of blood Will be the epilogue Just set us free For we'll adore you To celebrate the silent defeat Until the day of light I see blood flowing But these eyes Pierce me still Hiding the hollow in me I am afraid I made it flow again I am afraid I made it flow again I am afraid I made it flow again I am afraid I made it flow again I am afraid I made it flow again I am afraid I made it flow again I am afraid I made it flow again I am afraid I made it flow again Back from dusk, rise to oppress The rest is a mantra that won't stop [Solos: Enrico/Francesco/Enrico/Francesco] Fulfillment on my skin While I'm lying I lie I lie still being nothing Still being nothing

Taste of blood And now my worst nightmare Takes its form, gives help to me Takes my hand while I'm sinking At one with the earth In a world that tastes like blood It's hard to make a choice but Mystification has no boundaries Mystification doesn't even know defeat Nameless prevarication It's raining on the earth Just to mock what reality is or it used to be The last word is upon stained lips Smile shows beast's jaws Silent demons marching single file Their tongue is no longer unknown Their tongue is no longer unknown Corrupting the seed of man They took the earth's place just by denying They took the man's place as a disease Mystification becoming supreme law Just by denying the word of god Just by denying the word of god Just by denying the word of god This is our disease

Slave of a forthcoming world I walk a path of solitude Step by step Until my precious grave Further from where you are To fall one more time again Isolate, I made walls of silence Feed me with your emptiness Triumph of weakness I've learned to afford it Things have never been so clear I must erase, replace 'Til my nerves are tense I won't feel pain, I won't feel cold Emptiness brought me down To desolation unknown Losing shape, I feel relief Between two plans of void I'll make you suffocate While you're bleeding from the outside That's what hate had built on me The more I see, the less I feel Catharsis in hate The creature escapes Our world's collapse Rising from the depths Humanity fades out Possession, flowing over me, abnormality [Solo: Enrico] Suffer to survive Existing in quiet misery Slave of a forthcoming world I walk a path of solitude Step by step Until my precious grave Further from where you are To fall one more time. Old flesh, shred Dependence that consumes The shadow that I've been The enemy within From hate to suffering

Transformed into coal I realize Someone made a hole In the sky Left us blind Tortured gear of the New millennium machine Awakening the monster Tongue-torn oracle Yet my mouth is bleeding Grotesque messiah In a living dead world Living Dead world Falling Deep Inhaling disbelief To run faster Woe to the ones who ask why The learning is complete For we enclosure rage To draw death from death A new code from sadness No one will ask why Inhaling disbelief To run faster Woe to them Restart into New ways of misery We all invoke you We still fear you We all invoke you We still fear you Mass-produced passions Fears scheduled No one will rise from here Buried alive The painful gift of recognition Burns inside me Burns inside me I am awake I am awake Mass-produced passions Fears scheduled. No one will rise from here Buried alive The painful gift of recognition Burns inside me Burns inside me I am awake [Solos: Enrico/Francesco] We all invoke you We still fear you We all invoke you We still fear you We all invoke you We still fear you

[The used quote is taken from the movie "Aguirre, the Wrath of God", directed by Werner Herzog and released in 1972] [Lope de Aguirre:] Wir halten durch. Ich bin der Zorn Gottes! Wer sonst ist mit mir? They will never understand The power of their lies Now they'll see The so-called evil of their tales Blessed water turns into blood Grotesque congregation The dormant is been awakened In a dreadful place Betrayed by my own salvation Truth becomes a weapon Hear me laughing from the eye of god [Solos: Enrico/Francesco] Branded with fire and madness I paid the price, I'm a new servant Ultimate state of dejection Cut my tongue, be my guide forever We rule this world together, cover me Erase my feelings I see thru the boundary of light The evil lies beneath In tongues of ancient speaks thru me Eternal darkness to hide my fear Blood to cover my eyes forever I'll be reborn Still I can't escape Visions of the horror That took place in my Insignificant existence To my new-found lust I'll see the terror in your eyes To my new-found lust I'll see the terror in your eyes To betray before being betrayed To bury before being buried To betray before being betrayed To bury before being buried To betray before being betrayed To bury before being buried [Lope de Aguirre:] Wir werden Geschichte inszenieren wie andere Stücke auf dem Theater [Solo: Francesco]

Swallowed down Is this my last stairway? Still I feel a needle Thru my flesh That brings smoke It bars the view Cleaning remorse Out of me Pure denying I became a survivor At one with these spires That feed me on My own shelter For cold stung my face Yet I can't, I won't move Snake of god Have mercy on me What's left behind for me? Choose my path Gather my past Wash it away With lenient venom Forever grateful Of keeping me warm Do what you will Shout my eyes, Draw my soul up And start again Snake of god Have mercy Snake of god Have mercy Snake of god Have mercy Snake of god Have mercy Wires feeding And snaring together But it's all I ever had [Solo: Enrico] I am a survivor I am at one with these Spires

It will be a smoke screen Dawn of deepest evil Once you dreamed about him Now he's standing, bleeding, freezing Gazing at your empty body Craving for your choice soul One more time Meaning of no-life Suddenly caught in terror Cauldron of praying souls Piled up in the fire Bleeding Undertaken from beyond death Souls are falling [Solo: Enrico] Power never understood Drench and course of all men We must see all our dreams Caught and burned at awake, forsake Dimming of the feelings We didn't care so we're in New church of the blind ones In search of short-lived hopes Bleeding Undertaken from beyond death Souls are falling 'Til we die Evil resurrection Heretic gathering Souls he wants to squeeze Blasphemous power rising Boredom seems to altar Ignorance is the knife Ceremony of fools So shall we survive? Aware of the slaughter, submitted as a corpse Legion from the dark, the hunt works ahead Possessed for he's god, body becomes a jail The spirit will be free, devouring everything Addicted to soul raping Far from being a nightmare

A voice from above Before dark waters we stand Beneath leaden sky we walk The day that lied just in our dreams Takes its form, as we slowly fall Ethereal dawn of Cerberus Three tongues of condemnation Disenchantment Lost in a one-way maze Searching for you We face the phantom god That mesmerized our dreams He who showed the hell before And broke the spell with fear With disenchantment made by death Becoming dust We leave behind our cries of mercy We're now possessed, we're free Dust is what we've been Dust is what he breathes Dust is what we've been Dust is what he breathes

Greed of blood Makes the believer a rabid beast Mass comes to an end Desire becomes unbearable Crescendo of terror The damned is untenable Wherever you turn There's nothing But these four walls You and I The leading wire of this tale Is been woven thru Mute chambers' walls Captives communicate Through tortured screams 'Til the moment is gone Then the altar unique Immense and obscure Will open underneath Upon them Sun and moon both black Testifying their blood tribute Man is both goat and knife Greed and mercy Under the sign of pain It's time to cry But between these four walls Only your brothers will hear And will hide powerless Crawling in the night We hide
