I am the sledgehammer messiah, waiting for sins to be born And if you stop for a moment you can hear the machines are playing your song There’s nowhere to run and nowhere to speak I’m gaining you’re falling into me Tell me you piece of shit, how does it feel To be down here with me? Living, living, dreaming, dreaming, drowning! Chainheart machine By cosmic retribution I’ve been sent ‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall Roll the dice, roll the dice My call, my call Tick tock, time to die No use reaching as time goes by Self-absorbed egotistical... fuck! I’m reining your life! Chainheart machine By cosmic retribution I’ve been sent ‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall Roll the dice, roll the dice My call, my call Oh! Preaching for the sun... They say there, they say there is a sun... So I’m preaching, I’m preaching for the sun... They say there, they say there is a sun... My body is chained to the ground where I walk They stalk they hunt my every thought with Execution, evolution, disillusion pre-conclusion Why is it me? Chainheart machine Your suffering will be legendary, even in hell! ‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall Roll the dice, roll the dice My call, my call ‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall Roll the dice, roll the dice My call, my call

Mirror, mirror on the wall Who’s the mightiest of them all Every little question, none who will be answered Staring at the bulletbeast pointing his gun Killing – there’s nothing in my seeing what’s wrong Running – or is it just that I’m... Fearing – in fears for your lives you scream like a pig Thrilling – my pulse will go up and yours will go down! Why, why – I’m in for the quest There’s no turning back once you’ve tried Why, why – you’re all laid to rest The bullet is sent by the king Once again I’ll tell you my friend Don’t trust anything you’ll see “Redrum” overdose – telling no lies My trigger finger is divine Hatelights – aim at the chest fire at will Lesson – a lesson in pain, waiting for.... Vengeance – chasing my footsteps not to be found Instruction – instructor unknown, but he will proceed! Why, why – but you won’t resist I’m back once again I will kill Why, why – I’m put to the test I’ll never go down to the ground! So you wanna play rough? Say hello to my little friend With my finger on the trigger You’re watching the judge of today Killing – there’s nothing in my seeing what’s wrong Running – or is it just that I’m... Fearing – in fears for your lives you scream like a pig Thrilling – my pulse will go up and yours will go down! Why, why – I’m in for the quest There’s no turning back once you’ve tried Why, why – you’re all laid to rest The bullet is sent by the king Last time, last sign My face have turned to dust Underground, no sound of human innocence Hatelights – aim at the chest fire at wiill Lesson – a lesson in pain, waiting for.... Vengeance – chasing my footsteps not to be found Instruction – instructor unknown, but he will proceed! Why, why – but you won’t resist I’m back once again I will kill Why, why – I’m put to the test I’ll never go down to the ground! Oh!
Inside you, I feel you from inside, satisfaction built on sin Condemn everything who says what is right Drown in my eyes, no need to deny I scream! Feel my devil inside you, gaining! Reaching diabolic speed! I reach, I feel you’re lost Millions of flames in your eyes I command the gods of time Make this dream never end Imagination? Evil salvation? Red light city makes you burn Oceans of immortal seed I’m the hand sweeping over midnight lands I reach, I feel you’re lost Millions of flames in your eyes So sell your soul and be mine! Come on, let’s go! I decide if you will rise Total control! I’m in your veins I reach, I grip your mind Never surrender

Staring through the eyes of a cosmic breed Through distant skies above the fields Another face, another dimension A broken circle of human attention Around making my way through the desert plains I’m a legend a gift from the gods, sirens scream there is no rest A diary of a tragical life in this nest Screaming for victory... neon rebels will rise Breaking down the barricades... nailed to the skies Riding on the winds at the speed of light Selfish pride is a rebel’s might Cosmic warfare a taste of my life A gallery of a lifetime under the knife An endless voyage... in an endless time Remind thoughts of an ancient sign... Staring through the eyes of a cosmic breed Through distant skies above the fields Destructive thoughts in a narrow void Another mission in galaxy 2001 Screaming for victory... neon rebels will rise Breaking down the barricades... nailed to the skies Killing to stay alive Madness rules here again Tear away the golden skies Neon rebels will reign!

[?] Like the cold sweat running down your backs I’ll be there to make your lives a living hell I’m your eyes in disguise... silverspoon meltdown! Break me! Kill me! I’m standing in your way Condemn me! Punish me! I am you’re poison wine Inside your temples of fortune and lies You obey your power and might I’m your headaches, I’m your agonies Giant walls of steel! You can’t repair all the work you have done Lies burning bright in your mind I will never go down no needs to be found I am your hell! Break me! Kill me! I penetrate your pride Condemn me! Punish me! You can’t break down my walls I am the one, the evil son I am the one with the darkened sun Possessing the angels! Feel the smell of crimson sweet sin Your lies are weak and much to thin I’ll never die and I’ll tell you why... my jealousy is killed! Break me! Kill me! I’m standing in your way Condemn me! Punish me! I am you’re poison wine I am the one, the evil son I am the one with the darkened sun [?] I am the one, the evil son I am the one with the darkened sun [?] Possessing the angels!

Total oblivion of my inner past Will I ever be the same again? Landscapes of treasures before my eyes Now it’s over, forget the past Spirits... of the... future sun Spirits of the future sun! Legal lies and desperate cries I cannot see, I’m on my own Self-destructive and the anguish of youth Futures rising in your mind! Spirits... of the... future sun Spirits of the future sun! Your spirits wait for me in vain! I won’t fall! Sun burns red on the innocent child Twisted rules by common souls Computerized, pathetic lies The lights are out – here comes the war! Spirits... of the... future sun Spirits of the future sun! Your spirits wait for me in vain! I won’t fall! Your spirits wait for me in vain! I won’t... fall! Total oblivion of my inner past Will I ever be the same again? Landscapes of treasures before my eyes Now it’s over, forget the past Spirits... of the... future sun Spirits of the future sun!

I play the game of piercing fear Is this the only sound I’ll ever hear? Of hate I’ll rise Of this perennial demise! Well if I ever should fall from this earth... Would there be anything left of me? Come feel the need of piercing steel penetrating your hope! We suffer, yes we suffer... in this pit of hell The pulsating hatelights who will deform? Total devastation just catches your eye! Take a trip inside of me! There’s all I need! Of hate I’ll rise Of this perennial demise! ‘Cause we’ve cried Bloodstained walls on every fucking side! Come feel the need of piercing steel penetrating your hope! Kill, kill, machinegun majesty! Just steal, steal, come steal my night The nights are long as well as the war They pull my strings whenever they want A feelings just reach us A feeling of insecurity Of strength I’ll rise Of this miserable disguise Come feel the need of piercing steel penetrating your hope! Kill, kill, machinegun majesty! Just steal, steal, come steal my night I play the game of piercing fear Is this the only sound I’ll ever hear? Of hate I’ll rise Of this perennial demise! Kill, kill, machine gun majesty Just spill, spill, come spill our blood Kill, kill, machinegun majesty Just steal, steal, forever stealing my life

Trying to hold back the jaws of mankind Trying to avoid their hysteric lives Where I walk or where I stand Underground or no man’s land My eyes will always see what they’ve always seen My ears will always hear what they’ve always heard ‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99! I could stay there for a lifetime! ‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99! When universe is on my side! Can’t pay the price of a madly game I’m a victim who will stay the same Where I talk or where I go Something tells me that it hurts me so Hungry rebels cut my way They steal and others have to pay Spit or swallow – that’s a fact I’m going back, going back! ‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99! You can be blind there for a lifetime! ‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99! When universe is on your side! No! No! No! My eyes will never see what they’ve used to see! My ears will never hear what they’ve used to hear! ‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99! I could stay there for a lifetime! ‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99! When universe is on my side!
