The Essence
Hidden from the light Where no one knows the truth What I see is an artful hoax Why can't I see? - My own body Once part of the dark side Was caught by the energy of the light -Reality I see my body and my environment I think I do it with my eyes But my eyes need the energy of the light Could I only see - what is ordered to me Who am I myself? I don't see what I feel My only power comes from sun I can't get any other energy for life If I do it wrong my body falls in pain So I'm gonna have to scream Can I see? - Can I feel? My eyes feel what they see My mind can't feel what I see

A loser since you were born You surely think there's nobody to love you Everything in your life goes wrong Now you think their promises are true "Do what thou wilt Shall be the whole of the law" - It may sound good to you But it's not worth to strive for All they preach and promise you plead for Do everything you want without restraint Take all you want to get, take more and more There are no rules, you never will be chained "There's no god but man" But don't act like a god for yourself Never it will be the right way Behind these lies there's only hell Sinister seduction - Can't you realize They tempt you in this trap To make their own might rise Sinister seduction They'll rise and you will fall Don't follow them into the dark Never sell your soul (solo Malte) Evade their influence, it's not too late Don't let them obtain might over yourself You have the chance to avert your fate Choose path of life and not hell

Hidden in the shadows beyond the light Far away from my life and from my past Once man, now a creature of the night These darkest days will be my last (solo Malte) I'm a living corpse, there's no hope All around I smell the stench of death My blood flows no more my breath is choked Putrefaction is the aftermath Life has left my body long ago But still releasing death is far away My last powers fade, my fears grow As I watch my advance decay Slowly rotting skin and flesh A body paralysed by rigor mortis The repulsive stench of cold excrements A face deformed a cruel mask of death It's proceeding day by day I'm putrefying as I writhe I'm just a carcass in decay but I'm still alive Help me! (solo Mario) No rest in peace I can't rest in peace - I want to decease I can't rest in peace - Must I live forever? Or will they let me die?

The path we have to walk through our surreal existence Is never what it ever should be There's freedom just in our believe Directions are predetermined By ubiquitous inner forces We are just led by essential urges Through so called love, hate or grief Our freedom is just a lie Independent we'll never be Desire's always below our view True reality will never be - We're tangled In the strings of death and sexuality Enslaved is our mind it's weaken our sanity We're strayed from the domain Out of wishes and out of fear So we're altering the truth The reason's out of gear Between the urges eternally enslaved Addicted to the pleasures of the flesh Our mind is much too weak for resistance Thanatos and Eros rule supreme In this afflicted carnal existence To cleanse your mind is just a senseless trail I'm sure that we'll never reach control We always try to satisfy these urges And we'll continue until we fall (solo - Malte) Between the urges eternally depraved We're tangled in the strings of death and sexuality Enslaved is our mind, it's weaken our sanity We're strayed from the domain Out of wishes and out of fear So we're altering the truth The reason's out of gear

My escape to death a trip into the dark At the end of the way I will know No chance to return vanished to uncertainty Vision or reality Perished in blood or immortality Your life - Only a trial - For your death No choice - You have died That is the essence I've finished with my life suicide my last refuge Broken away from my remains Seeking for my peace of mind In a land, only dead creatures know Feel that, which you always missed on earth Put your mind, in this endless space And you can feel, what it's like to be dead You have dived out of your painful life Into this uncertain existence - No certainty That you get your redemption Your life was responsible for that What you will reach (solo - Malte) I can not feel I can not see Darkness in me is so ghastly No direction to the light I get into the claw of hate The pain returns, my soul get's lonely Delivered to this infinite faculty I've no strength, where do I arrive Is this hell - or another life?

In the beginning the sun burned in the sky I felt the hate - in the air There were lots of men waiting to fight When the sun goes down Their souls - wait in hell I see the land and feel the future I look into the dark see death like never before No one wants to die no one wants to kill But everyone will do it - what madness The good times of life are far away Tell me the reason for these days for this hate I see the first man falling The next one is bleeding out The third is dying under the sword In the end they all - are creeping in the gore I bring death to everyone If it seems that he wants my life I will award him the prize of his death Cause I'm alive and he's gone down

It began with creation of man The history of avarice and greed Just imperfect - weak points of the mind Disseminate degrading evil seed Man starts to kill, to pillage and to rape To profit by these abominable deeds Through the ages it leaves its traces A darkened path underneath man's feet Gory traces left by man at present as in past Change the times, conceal the facts The human brute will last "The blood we spill... the pain we feel... The "foe" we kill... must burn in hell!" Inhuman senseless butchery, unholy misery The cruelty of man knows no boundaries Millions of people died in their blood Horrible tragedy The cruelty of man knows no boundaries Gory traces left by man at present as in past Change the times, conceal the facts The human brute will last (solo: Malte) "Let's nail the saviour on the cross Pray, Jesus, but you are lost"... "Let's burn the witches on the stakes Go, rot in hell, heretics"... "Let's hold the blacks in slavery Nigga, feel the whip, you'll never be free"... "Let's remove the jews from our land Yeah, breathe the gas, it's your end"...

- in memory of Andreas and Thorsten - Sudden death You crushed out of life No chance to flee from your damnation Your aims - your plans - your dreams All damned to fall, betrayed No justice left for you Only death waiting and longing for your souls Your joy Your laughter Your faces Haunt me in my dreams (solo: Malte) Eternally you joined with your destiny But in death you will live again Somewhere we'll meet again... ...my friends
