Defeated

Everything I build I destroy,
everything I love I always hurts,
everything I hate I'd rather love,
everything I am is everything I'm not.

How does it feel to be free,
how does it feel to clearly see,
I am you now, I feel complete,
I am you now, free in defeat.


Deaf, Dumb & Blind

Beyond my hell,
beyond my heaven,
outside all hate,
outside all love,

Impose what's real,
inside we feel,
it's all inside,
we are, we hide



Paralyzed

From birth to death, it's just the same,
From birth to death, what am I,
I can't believe in myself,
I can't see past myself,

Why should I fight? Nothing to fight for
why should I fight? I'll turn my back,
Nothing can hurt me if it's not real,
From birth to death, it's all the same

From birth to death, it's just the same,
From birth to death, what am I,
Nothing can hurt me if it's not real,
From birth to death, I'm just the same


Anthem

And I found my soul,
but whatever I'm feeling has been crushed by your world,
and you know that I'll find,
my purity inside it's all that's mine.

You make me feel what you feel,
I will become you 'cause you know what's real,
and I'll see what you see,
you'll never be me 'cause I've found my soul.

[repeat 1st verse]


Voidhead

Denial, no function, loveless, no meaning
Fearless, system, circular, existence

Meaning, distorted , shapeless, feelings
Fearless, system, suffering on, existence

Why am I, such a void
[repeat]



White Flag

I tried, I tried to stand,
but I fell, I fell to the ground.

Lord I tried, you know I tried
but you see, you see straight through me.


Tyrant

We hail downfall
We hail black rain
Invert what's sane
We serve your pain

Black rain fall down

Complete, all dirt
Can't find, all hurt
Invert what's sane
We serve your pain

Black rain fall down

We hail downfall
We hail black rain
Invert what's sane
We serve your pain

Black rain fall down



Animals

Belief, you fall
Selfless, you fall
Believe, you fall
Selfless, you fall
Hopeful no more
Hopeful no more
No need, no more
No need, no more
Animals

Redundant, at core
Redundant, at core
Speechless, you fall
Speechless, you fall
Hopeful no more
Hopeful no more
No need, no more
No need, no more
Animals

[repeat 1st verse]

Animals!

For Life

I'm feeling, I'm needing,
I'm seeing, believing.
It's that I can be, there's nothing else,
maybe I'm a loser, but there's nothing to win,
'cause I'm in it for life.
I'm in it for life [x3]

Deceiver, believer,
can't finish what you've started,
try feeling the pain of someone who suffers more,
I'll feel the pain of everything, it's what I am,
I'm in it for life,
and I feel it for life,
I'm in it for life,
I feel it for life.

[repeat 1st verse]


Vampires

You fucking freaks, you bleed me dry,
you fucking speak, I don't need to reply,
I can be what you want, just push me,
I can be what you want, just push me.

I'm your possession, you shape me,
I'm your possession, you own me,
I can be what you want, just push me,
I can be what you want, just push me.

[repeat 1st verse]



Antihuman

Disown,
the sky
Big man,
weak slave

[repeat]

Big man,
see red
You're hurt
Stay down

[repeat]

No soul [x4]

[repeat 1st verse] No soul [X12]


Regal

I fall down, can't stand up,
I stay down, won't stand up,

I humanize everything,
everything is me,

[repeat 1st verse]



Jesu

Nature will step on you,
nature will eat you up,
Jesu...Jesu

Nature don't care for you,
nature don't see you.
Jesu...Jesu

You're Fucked
You've Lost

[repeat]



Hidden Track

If I could see without your sight,
I would not be alive.

If I could see without your sight
I would be alive

If I was alive
If I was alive
If I could be
If I could be
