1. DOWNFALL ########################################################### ( Instrumental ) ########################################################### 2. ARISE FROM DECAY ########################################################### Unceremonial descent After all these years of blood, sweat and tears In a permanent dispute Just to settle and keep the flame alight
Never to regret one second
A blinding of senses Comfort compelled as punishment It’s a moment of bliss As we cease to be
Inner peace with termination The skin has shed Leave the rotten core inside Arise from decay
Unceremonial descent After all these years of blood, sweat and tears In a permanent dispute Just to settle and keep the flame alight
Never to regret one second Still alive and gaining on strength
Inner peace with termination The skin has shed Leave the rotten core inside Arise from decay Forwards into destiny Arise from decay
Sworn to stay and set to craft in continuation As the battle carries on, the anger grows
Set to arise from decay Set to arise from decay Set to arise from decay Set to arise from decay
A blinding of senses Comfort compelled as punishment It’s a moment of bliss As we cease to be
Inner peace with termination The skin has shed Leave the rotten core inside Arise from decay Leave the rotten core inside Arise from decay ########################################################### 3. THE INVOCATION ########################################################### A cry of liberation Soul on fire breaking free With a heart encaged You feed on pain and misery A rapture of impressions Haunts you down again and again In absence of remission Summoning spirits below Darkness as companion Bleak your isolation Fear will reign above it all The invocation begins
Screaming in silence The invocation begins
Abolishment born of your will Indulging in a lifetime of sin
Pray for consolation A plead for mercy gone unheard Inner maze of distrust What remains is dismay Evoking reprisal Void of purity Averse revelation o black Unholy hostility Diabolical possession Sell your soul in the name of revenge As the invocation completes Perdition unfolds
Screaming in silence The invocation begins Screaming in silence The invocation
All blood is bound to boil at last Ripped to shreds, the die is cast
Awaken through the abomination Upheaval through the invocation Awaken through the abomination Upheaval through the invocation
A cry of liberation Soul on fire breaking free With a heart encaged You feed on pain and misery A rapture of impressions Haunts you down again and again In absence of remission Perdition unfolds
Upheaval through the invocation Upheaval through the invocation ########################################################### 4. HAVE NO MERCY ON US ########################################################### Prepare the faithful for the final coming of doom The sea will part again conjuring deadly plagues Prayers of dead light, vicious words unspoken Nowhere to run, no hiding from perpetual wrath
Release damnation Have no mercy on us
Upon completion the world will be deserted All that was before has faded into nothingness Eyes of fire unfold the nightmares of creation Arising from their failing spiritual demise We’ll go astray
Armies of Nemesis Have no mercy on us
Cursed for eternities Saluting the end We will never be at peace again
Prepare the faithful for the final coming of doom The sea will part again conjuring deadly plagues Prayers of dead light, vicious words unspoken Nowhere to run, no hiding from perpetual wrath
Armies of Nemesis Have no mercy on us
A declaration of insidious blasphemy Blessed by emptiness Baptized by fire, reduced to ashes Our souls will never come to rest
Release damnation Have no mercy on us Release damnation Have no mercy on us
Upon completion the world will be deserted All that was before has faded into nothingness Eyes of fire unfold the nightmares of creation Arising from their failing spiritual demise We’ll go astray
A declaration of insidious blasphemy Blessed by emptiness Baptized by fire, reduced to ashes Our souls will never come to rest
Armies of Nemesis Have no mercy on us ########################################################### 5. ARTIFICIAL LIFE ########################################################### Out of the body experience emerge as empty shell Purity of no soul pre-set not to research the will to be Apparatus unperfected, design unready to resist forevermore Ban the existential fear, future aflame breaking down
Burning down to the ground Artificial life Dead, a fabrication From the cradle to the grave
Unethical dilemma, horrors of guilt lie down a wide awake So alive and dead alike in a state of comatose immobility An abhorrent apparition, Inner inertia turning into recompense A breed created to retaliate and now about to strike back
At the back of beyond Artificial life Controlled A breaking chain of command
Downfall Artificial life Breaking out of this confining Artificial life
Down, burning down Artificial life Dead, living dead Artificial life Back, striking back
Out of the body experience emerge as empty shell Purity of no soul pre-set not to research the will to be Apparatus unperfected, design unready to resist forevermore Ban the existential fear, future aflame breaking down
Modern reign of slavery, robotic imperium of decadence Rejecting all remorse in the name of material prosperity Both a blessing and a curse but Who decides the outcome in the end? Mankind is to pay the high price of living With the funds of self-destruction
Down, burning down to the ground Artificial life Dead, a fabrication From the cradle to the grave Back, striking back Artificial life Dead, living an artificial life ########################################################### 6. CONDEMNATION ########################################################### Amidst the dangers, so lifeless in pretense All I see of you are shades in decadence I have returned to behold the day As you accept this castigation divine
Never-ending torment Exclaim in delight Condemnation
Look through these hollow eyes to understand That there is blankness no disbelief Stand up before my face to surrender Unfold a plead, mercy forevermore
Relive excruciation Time to rejoice Condemnation The dream is dead
You shatter in the cold light of day Bound to exit in eternal disarray Broken into fragments of illusions profane Carry the weight of a dead world on your back
The dream is dead
Amidst the dangers, so lifeless in pretense All I see of you are shades in decadence I have returned to behold the day As you accept this castigation divine
Never-ending torment Exclaim in delight Relive excruciation Time to rejoice Condemnation Condemnation ########################################################### 7. TOTEM ########################################################### (Instrumental ) ########################################################### 8. TORN TO SHREDS ########################################################### Come unchain the demons hidden behind my eyes Look out, step aside, a fury uncontainable Uncovered masquerade put into perspective Into the fire I fully conscious march, I’m out to burn
Feeding frenzy A closing with style
Prepare for damnation!
The time is come, release the anger A life, torn to shreds No repentance, no forgiveness A life, torn to fucking shreds
Awake with bleeding hands, ordeal of the will Regaining memory but truth remains a mystery Another casualty, history repeats Abysmal morals, torn to shreds
Judgement Day is near Wash away all sin Once carved in my skin Now torn to shreds
Come unchain the demons hidden behind my eyes Look out, step aside, a fury uncontainable Uncovered masquerade put into perspective Into the fire, I’m out to burn
Awake with bleeding hands, ordeal of the will Regaining memory but truth remains a mystery Another casualty, history repeats Abysmal morals, torn to shreds
Feeding frenzy A closing with style
Judgement Day is near Wash away all sin Once carved in my skin Now torn to shreds
The time is come, release the anger A life, torn to shreds No repentance, no forgiveness A life, torn to fucking shreds
Torn to shreds! ########################################################### 9. REVEL IN CONTEMPS ########################################################### Alive but barely breathing Suffocating in empty hope for survival Don’t close your eyes just yet This might be the very last time For you to see the lifeless lust of horror In the godforsaken faces
We’re all participating Orgy of brutality History of hysteria Determination’s end Anti-design of salvation Buries all remorse World of no redemption Blind victims of war
We all surrendered to this program Knowingly we carry blood on our hands
Pain allied, facing death, revel in contempt We did all agree to this parade of shame A fuckin’ movement of disgrace Humanity, tragedy, revel in contempt
On the verge of perpetual misery Upcoming doomsday, yet we don’t be deceived Falling from grace as our destination And nobody will be able to escape the judgement
Oh how foolish of them to be Hoping for glory and eternity Soulless creatures, bringer of plagues Embrace the fall, relentless, unto damnation
Go, revel in contempt We did all agree to this parade of shame A fuckin’ movement of disgrace Humanity, tragedy, revel in contempt
On the verge of perpetual misery Upcoming doomsday, yet we don’t be deceived Falling from grace as our destination And nobody will be able to escape the judgement
Revel in contempt Revel in contempt Revel... ########################################################### 10. A CRITICAL MASS ########################################################### Intercede, interfere! Final attempt to re-conciliate but all to no avail Profane last rites Human sacrifices to cover lies and to propagate insanity
Defenselessly, helpless, acting powerless The conflict’s ending and defeat is staring them in the face Critical mass, detonate!
Infiltrate, instigate! Upon completion of the fall They’ll rise above the ashes of destruction They shine like stars A gleam of silver Overcast the impending apocalypse
The crack of doom won’t heal these chronic wounds The day of judgement has arrived in the end
Acid rain utopia Come enhance mortality Radioactivity, praising the fire Balance reaction A critical mass Eradication of all life Set death free Critical mass End of days Critical...
Intercede, interfere! Final attempt to re-conciliate but all to no avail Profane last rites Human sacrifices to cover lies and to propagate...
Infiltrate, instigate! Upon completion of the fall They’ll rise above the ashes of destruction They shine like stars A gleam of silver Overcast the impending apocalypse
Retaliate! Critical mass detonate! Set death free Critical mass End of days Critical... Critical mass! ########################################################### 11. GLOBAL HYSTERIA ########################################################### Bring on a deadly panic Wreck the here and now Elimination of security Vile acts of sabotage Accelerate the decline Open hostility Weave a web of lies
Collapsing to the ground Onset catastrophe
Exploited through and through for one last fucking time Dead end, betray your ignorance System of true delusion bound to self-destruct What face do you put with your enemy?
Rise New world disorder! Rise Global hysteria!
Bless the mayhem Global hysteria!
Perpetual maze down the hell Knowing your enemy much too well!
Failing endeavor, resistance is futile Like leading the rats to dig their own graves
Free will deceived Your world is gone to pieces Material overload Enslavement to indulge in global hysteria
Led astray to believe that the truth would show A theory of decline has turned into the decline of theory
Fall... Bless the mayhem Global hysteria!
Rise New world disorder! Rise Global hysteria! ########################################################### 12. SLAVES OF CONSENT ########################################################### Existential demise We close our eyes to conceal it No air to breathe No time left, it’s all over Awaken in denial Evoke a perpetual bane No way to justify This inhuman urge to degenerate
We only see what we wish to be But can’t conceive what we perceive
I see the writings on the wall Where did we think this would end? We’re on the verge to tragedy We are blind slaves of consent
The answer is in the mirror A constant threat’s within Words won’t heal but compound They don’t speak the truth Disguise the guilt So nobody can see through How very foul all doing and undoing is When carried too far
All our fears come alive We steal a glance at destiny And all we sight is born of sin Bound to atone for infinity
The omission and transgression Unforgiven, unreleased adversity Words unspoken, solemn promise We praise the downfall drawing near As we approach our termination We are blind slaves of consent
The answer is in the mirror A constant threat’s within Words won’t heal but compound They don’t speak the truth Existential demise We close our eyes to conceal it No air to breathe At the verge to tragedy
I see the writings on the wall Where did we think this would end? We’re on the verge to tragedy We are blind slaves of consent
All our fears come alive We steal a glance at destiny And all we sight is born of sin Bound to atone for infinity ########################################################### 13. ON THE BRINK (COHEED AND CAMBRIA COVER ) ########################################################### The worlds have now learned of the worst yet to come. On the brink of an end, a boy learns to run. How you love, or could you, Mr. Man of the Year? Walking tall with nothing to fear.
Don't pass up this chance, Oh, go tear down the walls. No Gods will be watching, no one cares enough at all.
These words need now an ending, as they did at the start. But I'll keep on pretending, I won't go.
Don't cry no more, boy. You've got the other side of your life, so enjoy. I'll move out the front door, And take out your trash, But I'll no longer be haunting here, I'm not coming back.
The world must know my story, So long Amory. Please drive me home one last time.
Hail! (x57) ########################################################### 14. THRASHARD ( D.R.I COVER ) ########################################################### There's a gig At 5th and Main Gonna catch the bus Or take the train We'll steal or find Or borrow cash And we'll be there Ready to thrash
The band kickes in They begin to rage No-man's land In front of the stage Poseurs in the bathroom Still looking at their hair Thrashers in the foreground Doing what they dare
In the pit
Thrashing and slamming Like hell in the pit Tomorrow they know May not come Banging and moshing Like they don't give a shit To the rapid beat Of the drum
A boot to your forehead A knee in your face Your nose and lips Start to bleed Like a wild Indian From outer space Drunk and High on weed
Guitar seems so fucking loud People walking on the crowd Diving off the P.A. stacks Breaking ankles,necks and backs Then the circle begins In the thrashing pit Fist are flying People getting hit Tooth chippers left and right Skinheads in another fight Banging heads and broken jaws Because there are no laws
In the pit
Then you start thrashing Like never before Stagediving, headwalking like mad Doing your thing All over the floor The best time that you've ever had
You are hurt all over But can't feel a thing Not until the next day Then you wake up Stiff as a board And the pain won't go away
Another gig at 5th and Main We'll catch the bus Or take the train We'll steal or find Or borrow cash And we'll be there Ready to thrash
In the pit
