1. Retaliation

Won't fight this growing fever
Ask myself how much I really need her
Put all my trust in liquor I just can not help but always bicker

Anticipation
A growing desperation
Retaliation
Leave me a light on

Can't stop anticipating
Ask myself how long I've been here waiting
Time spent I'm going nowhere
Don't know if I can keep sinking lower

Anticipation
A growing desperation
Retaliation
Leave me a light on






2. The Fix Is In

I was around
When god was a boy
Now, I was the one
Who stole his favourite toy
Pharaoh of fraud
Now look at your goddamned king
I take all being
And render it nothing

You know-That the war is on
You know-That it can't be won
You know-That the fix is in
You can't have the good guys win

The fix is in

Take on the throne
And make it your own
I said, take on the throne
And make it your own

You know-That the war is on
You know-That it can't be won
You know-That the fix is in
And you know that I always win

You know-The good guys lost
You know-War is high on cost
You know-You cannot win
And you know the fix is in

Heretic at the stake
Let the motherfucker bake

You know-That the war is on
You know-That it can't be won
You know-That the fix is in
And you know that I always win

You know-The good guys lost
You know-War is high on cost
You know-You cannot win
And you know that I always win






3. Incinerator

Skeletons built to last in concrete
Like tombstones in these barren lands
Standing so strong in reflection
Against the pale grey sky

These suburbs are full of zombies
Infected by plague and festering boils
Foul scent of the rotting ones
The decaying remains of a happier time

Children of black coffins
Awaiting to be sincerely torn
Bones are crushed by machinery
Their dust will be spread by the storm

Inexhaustible crowds of graveyards
Condemned to a life of rats
Overwhelmed by endless torment
The ones above are laughing at you

Children of suburban wastelands
Awaiting to be ground into sand
Hopes are being crushed by machinery
Their souls are burning across the land






4. Children Of The Underworld

We rise from the ashes we burn
With a grin on our face we return

We walk among the ones
The mortals can't see
When the sun goes up
No more we'll be
Soulless we hide in the shadows
Lifeless we hide from the sun
We are the children of the underworld
And we are gone

We stalk the earth we are undead
By the fullmoon's curse we are possessed

Doomed to eternity
We suffer we cry
Bleeding endless floods
When we conquer your lives
With blood our thirst has been stilled
With flesh our stomachs are filled
We are children of the underworld
And we kill

We repent nothing
We cheat and we lie
We manipulate your soul
We bleed and you die
Fearless we walk among demons
Godless we take your last breath
We are children of the underworld
And we're undead






5. That's When I Became A Satanist

When I was a kid
I fell out of a second floor window
In the fall I thought, that's it
It's time for me to die
Fell so hard on my back
I was gasping for air
That's when I realised
God would not show me how to fly

Mouth no voice
Got no choice

Prohibitions and restrictions
You taught me everything
Speculations and regulations
You taught me everything
About wealth
About health
Everybody just talking for themselves
That's when I became a Satanist

I never believed in angels
But by seeing you I really had my doubts
When your eyes met mine, I thought
It's the return from my exile
All this time is solitude
Should have learnt me so much
I was kidding myself
Cuz all I could find was rotten bile

Mouth no voice
Got no choice
A mouth no voice
I had no choice

My ambitions and decisions
You taught me everything
Crucifixion and circumcision
You taught me everything
The fascination of fallen nations
You taught me everything
About wealth
About health
Everybody just talking for themselves
That's when I became the Satanist






6. Nobodaddy

Nobodaddy, that's my name
And it's all my game
Everything you see
Know it's been set up by me

Got the fury and the flame
And the box in which it came
A know you want to be
Right here next to me

Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy is the CEO
Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy-o

Nobodaddy, that is I
And I never die
I mean eternal bliss
Come give daddy a kiss

Goddess of the promised land
Was spitting in your hand
Now you're leaving her
For the love of Lucifer

Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy is the CEO
Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy-o






7. Intermission

[Instrumental]






8. Young & Dead

We're such a success story
But living safe and sorry
The king is not returning
Another church is burning

See the things out of sight
Nothing left and nothing right
Have it all in your hand
Time will turn it all to sand

Wanna leave but you stay
Slowly rot and fade away
Burn an X in your head
Godly being young & dead

Zombiefield angelic race
Rottten flesh on a pretty face
Had it all in your hand
Young & dead in promise land

We're such a success story
But living safe and sorry
The king is not returning
Another church is burning

Dead gods and man-made weather
More bigger faster better
Firearms made of plastic
Our world is so fantastic

You can't fight what's in your soul
And keep the devil in the hole
You can't fight what's in your soul
Before your eyes it will be unfold






9. Descent Into Inferno

I have faith and I will travel
Such sights I've never seen
There are wrists that need to be slit
It is the passage to where I've never been

Everyday when I wake up I know I've failed
Something to live for is hard to find
I'd like to think that I know tomorrow
I need to leave it all behind

I'm descending into inferno
And I'm burning in hell
All earthly crises has left with my own life
Down here I dwell

All my power goes to survival
A don't eat enough to do something else
It's time to quit about time to betray
Cuz all my head is full of is hells bells

I'm descending into inferno
And I'm burning in hell
All earthly crises has left with my own life
Down here I dwell






10. Public Burning

Heavenly torture
You're burning again
Envy the clueless
That fight 'til the end

Save one that kills one
It's always the same
General scapegoat
No one is to blame

You want to help
And to learn
But it's hard
When they turn
And everybody want
To see you burn

Business and pleasure
Curse your ways
You represent everything
Wrong with the world today

You are the bullet
In the gun
The one that took
The only son

You want what's good
For the country
You want the
Heathens to learn

You have the best
Of intentions
But how quickly they turn
Now everybody want to
See you burn

Kill you with a smile
Always id denial
Kill you with a smile
Save you for a while

Save one that kills one
it's always the same
Your ways to disgust me
And it's just a game

Can you believe
We're all the ones that won
We won't miss it
Until it's gone
We will never learn
Now it is your turn
Everybody want to
See you burn

Everybody want to see you burn
Everybody want to see
Your public burning

Public burning
No returning now






11. Flexing Muscles

Flexing muscles
All pumped up
I'm showing off
Testosterone

Male masculine icon
Athletic godlike clone

Oiled skin shinning
I enjoy what I see
Greek god superman
Full of testosterone

Male masculine icon
Athletic godlike clone

My system is full of steroids
I don't care if it fucks with my head
Growing harder as I watch myself
Jerking off while flexing

My body is perfect and pure strength
Blood pumping hard in my veins
How easy it could be
To smash your head in with a single blow

I'm gods gift to women
The ideal man
I'm building perfection
You envy the way I am






12. Skeleton Of Steel

There are times
We forget to think
Years of oblivion
Seems like eternity

There are times
We get lost
Forget to believe
In humanity

Souls seem to quiver
The world's about to collapse
We got every cell on stand-by
Waiting for relapse

There are times
Can't hold it together
Everything
Turns out wrong
There are times
We're fighting wars
It's damn hard to get along

Flesh growing weaker
Legs don't seem to stand
We got every cell on stand-by
Waiting for command

We know that our death will be soon
It's what we achieved with our daily gloom
No hope for the future in this concrete room
We're now aware that this is our doom

So if this is real
I better kneel
I'm doing my part
Cuz everything that's left of me
Is a skeleton of steel
