Lost in the desert for reasons unknown An extensive barren plain before you A gruesome affliction, the heat of the Sun Don't really know in what direction to go to Make your way in the loose sand No protecting shade in this hostile land It's not the hunger but it's the thirst The awful suffering which vexes you worst Hallucinations, thirst drives you insane The shrinking of your skin, bursting lips your body-fluid is floating away The claws of death got you in their grip "Water" is your last word As your internal organs decay Dehydrated, emaciated Your life slowly fades away Vultures circling in the sky Peeling the flesh from a corpse Blankened bones are all that's left Dehydration as the death cause Another cadaver in the loose sand Not the last victim of this hostile land Without any water you won't last Die in the desert, death comes fast [Lead: Uterwijk] [Lead: Mameli] Lost in the desert for reasons unknown An extensive barren plain before you A gruesome affliction, the heat of the Sun Don't fucking know in what direction to go to

Smoke's penetrating the atmosphere It comes forth from heavy industry The layers of air surrounding us, are venomed by large factory chimneys Environment pollution Damage unmeasurable Nitrogen concentrations Drive away the oxygen Choking in the gas we self produced The death of mother Earth I introduce Chemical rain drips from the sky The more we breathe, the sooner we die Climates change, oceans vaporize Woods become deserts, no vegetation Species of animals exterminated The Earth makes its last rotation The process of suffocation Coming genocide Biocircle is disturbed Humanity's suicide [Lead: Mameli] [Lead: Uterwijk] Why give a child its birth When we are poisoning our Earth The heritage of this generation is a planet threatened with destruction

Suffering from a disease The morbid symptoms aren't identifiable Physicians, they disagree Fighting it is thus impossible Vainly you wait for a cure But there's pain you have to endure We don't have to add you to the dead Leave your faith in science's hands Research might lead to your salvation While you're in a state of suspended animation After the anesthesia comes pure nitrogen In many degrees below zero An ice-bound human being Can they disabuse of him His yet unknown disease? Then maybe in the future the machines will stop to freeze The blood is no longer liquid No palpitations of the heart Stone cold hardened intestines There will never be a new start Ages wait for a cure No more pain they have to endure They added themselves to the dead Left their faith in science's hands Forever frozen is their destination In a state of suspended animation

[Lead: Uterwijk] Forced isolation in centuries of disgust Disease of the soul, living lives which are lost Muddled identities, living out days Scaring it's victim, a formless face Respiratory ailments, suffering cries A nervous affliction, another victim dies Horrifying skin eruptions With protruded eyes they see How facial features are rotting away Mutilating endlessly Trapped, separated from humanity Epidemic, fatal destiny A foul odor from gangrenous parts Incurable sick they'll be [Lead: Mameli] Pain and suffering will stay Bodies slowly rot away Unable to provide curative treatment Sudden death, morbidity High, rise plague mortality Corpses putrify horribly [Lead: Uterwijk] [Lead: Mameli] Respiratory ailments, suffering cries A nervous affliction, another victim dies Territories in dreariness Neglected fields in what you see people escaped this unpredictable reality Loss of men accelerates Laicization of society Extirpate indiscriminately Bodies of the dead decayed where they had breathed last Filled with fear, death is near, belonging to the past Thousands of men put away in isolation Suffered from the chronic infection Infection Infection Infection Infection Chronic Infection Chronic Infection Chronic Infection Chronic Infection Chronic Infection Chronic Infection

In the darkness They crawl on places Where you can't see or hear them come Marching silently When it's dawn they will be gone A swelling on my body Makes me suffer, live in anxiety No time to waste Just open the abscess, will you please help me The ignorance is dominating Remedies you try I can not live this life any longer What is it and why? While you're asleep They'll enter your skin The search for a new place where they will dwell They give their children A place to be born You won't notice except for the smell Mysteriousness, researchers can't explain The sorrow of this internal pain It's burning stronger day by day Cure me, there must be a way Desperation, confused mind Never heard of a disease of this kind So tell me what can I do To leave this Hell I'm going through Human blood The perfect place Birth of descendants Creatures living In my veins, the horror Frightening, sickening The pain that I am bearing Begging, please get them Out of my body In the darkness They crawl on places Where you can't see or hear them come Marching silently When it's dawn they will be gone Human blood The perfect place Birth of descendants Creatures living In my veins, the horror Frightening, sickening The pain that I am bearing Begging, please get them Out of my body

Trapped inside my self-capsule For a journey into an atmosphere A darkened space I'm floating in Although I am not here I'm caught, a room, it's coloured black The trap I haven`t chosen I cannot think, my limbs I cannot move, seems like they're frozen Peaceful existence in a world Above earthly life I`ve been there in this paradise Where all is calm and nice Walking in the other side I can't tell the difference Between day and night Voices I can hear Hidden somewhere, but they're near Out there in this universe Imaginary world of fantasy Am I dreaming? But it seems so real to me Humanity denies death Search for immortality Melancholy desire Can't become reality No reason to fear death We all will meet it anyway A promised life in hereafter As we will pass away Peaceful existence in a world Above earthly life I`ve been there in this paradise Where all is calm and nice Echoes of Death Echoes of Death

His hands held high Hypnotizing eyes, the instruments of power he has obtained His spoken words Standing on the pedestal He sees his portrait held high by their hands Deify thy master, he will be the one who protects you from all what's evil Deify thy master, a divine personality, holiness Deify thy master, your minds are filled with my preachified sermons Deify thy master, follower's fanaticism leading to their own destruction A vociferous crowd calling out his name They will praise and adore him On their way to paradise A sacrifice as homage to their lord See the misery he causes for he takes you to the worst form of reality Still you are a credit to your master As you fight for his symbol of victory He's an advocate of a theory the one he made himself His word is law, obey, worship You will live well He will walk the stairs built of coffins Ambition has its price Determined to fulfill his desires Turns promises to lies Beware He takes you to a despair Chaos, violence, bloodshed How long will this dream last? Awake before you'll die [Lead: Uterwijk] His adherents exist of thousands of people Adorers keep their faith They express their trust by performing their task Even when it'll be their fate [Lead: Mameli] He's a majesty we ought to serve for he praises unity Disparity he despises, fights the existence of apostasy Expel those who resist and those who will not agree They're a danger to his system And to the thought of solidarity

This track is instrumental.
Dark middle ages centuries of pain The appearance of the inquisitions Religion turned out to be insane In these times of witch prosecutions Tortured till confession Await the execution Moaning and suffering Tormented till death on the rack Hundreds of them were sentenced for perpetrating heresy Desperately begging for mercy But death was only guarantee Intense excruciation Unmerciful cremation Their smouldering bodies and charred bones are left on the stake [Lead: Uterwijk] The question of the interrogators Extorted the false confessions Broken upon the wheel they ended Without even knowing the accusation Limbs chopped off, viscera torn out Mutilated venereal organs Death in the name of the church Decapitated or quartered [Lead: Mameli] Evil exorcized Purified flesh Saved by the stake Reduced to ashes
