Beyond the Veil

Trapped and concealed in this dark room Hungry and cold I vegetate Fettered and gagged Expecting the worst Not the slightest chance to escape... Out of here! Will I die? In his grip Helpless I wait for what's to come At the edge of my common sense Will I survive or be dead soon? Oh God! My fate lies in his hands... As I look into his eyes I see nothing else Than hate and uncontrolled despite Against the human race? What is he able to do? Will my worst nightmares come true? I'm sure his hands have many times Committed homicide He's sick, his mind's a labyrinth Which horrors may it hide? What is he craving for? Am I the prey for a feast of gore? Is this the end? Is there no way out? I'm lost in this place, there is no doubt In his grip I hear his steps He's approaching, my end is drawing nearer No chance to hide No imploring and no woeful cries He gently starts to work As the blood flows My senses slowly fade away Finally this is the end After all I'm now about to ...die...

The mind is enslaved by a cruel morbidity Hidden in the chasms of the soul Beyond the guise of superficial benevolence Rages a fire, delirious and tall Resist this urge! Suppress it! Resist this urge! Control it! If the mind is too weak it will get the upper hand You'll change to a puppet without a will Abysmal malevolence takes command If this morbidity rules your mind You'll act without restraint Oblivious to humanity Abysmal malevolence has gained Kill! Slay! Rape! No restraint Haunt the weak! Now deranged Torment! Scare! Persecute! No remorse Hands turned into fatal claws If the mind is too weak it will get the upper hand You'll change to a puppet without will Abysmal malevolence takes command If this morbidity rules your mind You're just a servant of death Complete loss of emotions Abysmal malevolence- only wrath Malignancy and malevolence Dark shadows in the lords creation Rabies of the human race The archfiend's seed, our extirpation If the mind is too weak It will get the upper hand You'll change to the pupper without will Abysmal malevolence takes command If this morbidity rules your mind You'll act without restraint Oblivious to humanity Abysmal malevolence has gained Kill! Slay! Rape! No restraint Haunt the weak! Now deranged Torment! Scare! Persecute! No remorse Hands turned into fatal claws

Born alive Torn from the guarding womb Bare and weak into this frozen existence Forced to go To an ubiquitous tomb On the path through this frozen existence Day by day the must to strive For banal aims in a banal life Forget to live just for the show But why to choose this path to go ? In the end it's so equal What you've done in the past Won't you realize That you're just a mortal at last ? On and on, no try to change The realization seems so strange That once there's no difference When everything is to cast Can't you realize That you're just a mortal at last ? Mortal at last

Once pleased with this life Encouraged by my dreams But now I just vegetate, life's not as it once seems The perception of truth is so hard to endure What formerly made a sense Now just meaningless and obscure Confused in this being There's nothing left to believe No more for me to await No good perspective, I conceive I've lost all the dreams which gave life a worth Where is the truth I believed in since birth? Just the realization that I trusted a lie Why to live? I'd rather die! Existing surrounded by mendacious creations I am weary of it! They scorn me, I'm just a "pessimistic crank" But sorry, I'm not able to ignore and forget I'm seeking for these problems Which I never could solve on my own I'm dreaming away the real existing world So I'm unfitted for life Voluntary death I now spawn ...my death... ...I'll arrive soon... Just a mental void forfeit life's essence All I wish now is soon to come to an end No more aims to strive for No strength to continue Deep in me my death has already come true ("The farewell letter") I'm finished with reality It's too long since I've turned away Now retreated in a world of dreams Where's neither doubt nor dismay I've lost all my fears To make it come real Always the redemption in mind I'm convinced that I can't go astray The moment draws near for me to surrender I'm prepared to decease So I'm ready to enter my last resort...

("Confession of the believer:") "God! I confine to you I am proud to be part of your horde Lord! I obey your word Always obedient, acting as you've taught You...are the almighty! None...other delights me! Life means nothing to me Only your honour counts Nobody will soil your name He's destined to death if he's to blame Father! I'll stake my life To avenge every infidel offence My master! They have to die If they profane what you profess You...are the almighty! None...other delights me! Life means nothing to me Only your honour counts Nobody will soil your name He's destined to death if he's to blame March into holy war Religious murder, justified Those who offend your holy word No longer will, they surely die Die!" Confessional caused senseless genocide Religious persecution of the weak Vile denial of dissenting races Leads you to slaughter in your "justified" chase Unrestricted dominion is for what you seek Vile denial of dissenting races Leads you to slaughter in your "justified" chase You believe in lies!

Born into a nightmare Psychotic fear, lost in this place Retreat in isolation The only way to flee From this being's disgrace This life's a real horror There's no protection as in the womb Security is hard to find It's just a path which leads From the womb to the tomb Yearning for peace day by day Hiding in dreams, it's the only way Won't you live? You close your eyes to the better things in life Are you blind? Can't you see that you only have to strive? Don't conceal You have to dare, so one day you can win Open your eyes To waste this life in sorrow is a sin Apathetic Won't you dare a try?

Empty mind I'm in a dead end Solitude- is now all lost? Left here alone to find my way My present life- an only frost What's the sense for my existence? I've got to know my destiny Which is the way I have to go? Where's the right place for me to be? I fear the future More disillusions Is suicide my only chance? I've lost the strength to face reality My "precious" life has lost its sense In my head everything is spinning Pictures of lost days rush past I can't take a clear decision 'cause my next choice may be my last Now I sit here, alone with myself And can't find a reason to carry on I utter my silent cry for help Which noone perceives because there is none Forlorn in emotions Confused and despaired No joy of this being, my life beneath I've gotta make my decision alone with myself To continue with life or to cease it... With death! With death!

Play the perfect mind for your surroundings Forced by your vanity For correct prestige you seek You wear an intact mask Your outward appearance But in your inner self You're just anxious and weak Hiding from the fears of your subconcious Which haunt you in your dreams You suffer while you sleep Your mental misery Has to stay in concealment So you're talking stupid lies You're also wanted to believe Suffer in your mind blinded by a false truth Cheating yourself out of life By living concealed behind a mask Discouraged by your fears Afraid to show the cloven hoof Escape your pseudo-truth and realize You're just human at last ...human... You're hiding behind A veil of displayed sanity Beyond the veil Beyond the veil Beyond the veil Beyond the veil
