Silent Kings & Queens

The darkest ages, they are here
Evil rules the World and there´s bloodlust in the air
Somebody’s profit is someone’s misfortune, Gold in the pocket and death of a child
Guilty are those who stand watching in silence, They with the answers, they with the truth
Silent witness on the Shore
Stare into the sea they’re all gone forevermore
We follow a path into eternal darkness, Black empty souls and our heart´s made of stone
God is a Devil who plays with his children, Then leaving them all alone

Silent Kings and Queens just don´t want to see
They just close their eyes, Won´t give you no pity
Silent Kings and Queens they just let it be
System has failed it's corrupt and inhuman
System has served for the eyes that never see

And all the gossip, all the lies
People spread their shit without a blink or thinking twice
Poor little thing who is begging for mercy, Mercy is not in the plan for you
Evil has come for a feast in all glory, nothing that you can do
The darkest ages, so they say
Evil rules the World and the weak they just obey
Somebody’s profit is someone’s misfortune, Gold in the pocket and death of a child
Guilty are those who stand watching in silence, They with the answers, they with the truth

Silent Kings and Queens just don´t want to see
They just close their eyes, Won´t give you no pity
Silent Kings and Queens they just let it be
System has failed it's corrupt and inhuman
System has served for the eyes that never see

Silent Kings and Queens just don´t want to see
They just close their eyes, Won´t give you no pity
Silent Kings and Queens they just let it be
System has failed it's corrupt and inhuman
System has served for the eyes that never see

Hate

I see you dancing thru the acid rain
Our dying planet try to live thru the pain
A scream of anger, a cry in the night

The total darkness, the absence of light
Like evil vultures we destroy and disturb
Old Mother Nature every flower and herb
And in the meantime, we hate and we fear
Is this the purpose, is it therefore we´re here?

We´re all blind refuse to see
We´re all dead, you and me

I close my eyes and let it all go away
I just can´t stand to see the jesters that pray

The total chaos, the terror and war we create
There are no choices for the weak and the poor, it´s too late
We´ve built this World on hate

I ain't bitter but I lost all the hope
The Men Who rule this World are such a big joke
Now they will kill us, on purpose or not
Hand on the trigger, the finger is hot

A nuclear war is just a second away
Before we know it, it is here one day
I´m not bitter, I´m just looking at fact
It´s now or never, we have to react

We´re all blind refuse to see
We´re all dead, you and me

I close my eyes and let it all go away
I just can´t stand to see the jesters that pray

The total chaos, the terror and war we create
There are no choices for the weak and the poor, it´s too late
We've built this World on hate

Black

All the weak lost souls who fallen for her charm
They are all enslaved, the needle in the arm

Endlessly craving for more
Battle inside it’s a war
Miserable junk on the floor
Then it´s all black

And they all came down to see her
Like a Heroine in black
And they scream when they can´t find her

Miserable junk on the floor
It all went Black

Lurking around in the dark, she´s always to be found
Once you've tasted the spice, you´re doomed, you´re lost and bound

Endlessly craving for more
Battle inside it’s a war
Miserable junk on the floor
Then it´s all black

And they all came down to see her
Like a Heroine in black
And they scream when they can´t find her

Miserable junk on the floor
It all went Black

And they all came down to see her
Like a Heroine in black
And they scream when they can´t find her

Miserable junk on the floor
It all went Black

The Conclusion

Have you ever come to the conclusion, happiness is just a strange illusion?
Darkness in our hearts is the emotion, fill this endless black and frozen ocean

Slayer of humanity is nothing out of hell. It comes right from the naked human soul
It has always been this way. And it will always be. We are blind support stupidity

Have you ever come to the conclusion, happiness is just a strange illusion?
Darkness in our hearts is the emotion, fill this endless black and frozen ocean

Can´t you see the master plan? The reason for it all It´s good to keep the hordes under control
Keep them hungry, give them hope, let them have dream feed the lies inject it in the soul

Have you ever come to the conclusion, happiness is just a strange illusion?
Darkness in our hearts is the emotion, fill this endless black and frozen ocean

They who protest, punish hard, show no dignity Put their flesh into public display.
Put the slaves into the line, teach them to behave. Let them know there is no other way

Have you ever come to the conclusion, happiness is just a strange illusion?
Darkness in our hearts is the emotion, fill this endless black and frozen ocean

They who protest, punish hard, show no dignity Put their flesh into public display.
Put the slaves into the line, teach them to behave. Let them know there is no other way

Zombie Stomp

Went into the pub for a brewskie, Everybody´s looking so strange
Teddy´s drinking lager for ages, now he says "brainz"
Someone´s try to eat up my elbow, someone tries to chew on my knee
Hey I just came here for a pint, man, so please leave me be

I look right into the dead eyes that're staring at me, I think you're acting pretty strange for a pub night
I think I'll leave if you don´t want a fight, you stop chewing on me
You´re all living dead

Told the chick beside me I like her, then she dropped her head to the floor
Even if she smells a bit rotten, a trick to adore
Said are you some kind of magician, got another trick up your sleeve?
She bit me in the foot and said "brainz," Time for me to leave

I look right into the dead eyes that're staring at me, I think you're acting pretty strange for a pub night
I think I leave if you don´t want a fight, you stop chewing on me
You´re all living dead

I look right into the dead eyes that're staring at me, I think you acting pretty strange for a pub night
I think I leave if you don´t want a fight you see, stop chewing on me
You´re all living dead

Skeleton Blues

Loaded like a freight train, I'm into the blues
Creeping in to my brain, dancing in my shoes
I think I'll fall to pieces, I'm down on my knees
Take me to a better place, please sister please
Too stoned to feel my legs and my bone
Don't you ever never leave me alone

Here I stand now baby, Ready to conquer a World without hope
So confused but ready Still I believe in this rock n roll thing
Will you join me maybe, don´t have a clue what the night will bring
Let the music tease ya
Come on join me all you pimps and hoes
Let's boogie to the Skeleton Blues

Devil on my shoulder, won't let me stop
I'm down into the deepest hole, I'm over the top
The rhythm in my soul pleasure and pain
Runnin' in my system, all over my brain
Too stoned to feel my legs and my bone
Don't you ever never leave me alone

Here I stand now baby, Ready to conquer a world without hope
So confused but ready Still I believe in this rock 'n' roll thing
Will you join me maybe, don´t have a clue what the night will bring
Let the music tease ya
Come on join me all you pimps and hoes
Let's boogie to the Skeleton Blues

Here I stand now baby, Ready to conquer a world without hope
So confused but ready Still I believe in this rock 'n' roll thing
Will you join me maybe, don´t have a clue what the night will bring
Let the music tease ya
Come on join me all you pimps and hoes
Let's boogie to the Skeleton Blues

Dead and Blind

Sweet little saviour who ever you are? Don´t you think the World today is quite bizarre?
Dude is driving in a Van thru the Mall, the only goal is to kill them all
People tortured in the worst kind of way, come on people now it´s time to pray
So where’s the blessings you are waiting for? The higher Power who created this gore?

So they say there´s a day when we all see the light, when we all live as one, I don´t think so

Charlatans rule over weak and blind
Evil from birth is the Human Mind
Poor are the souls, they who seek and find
Answers in Books from an ancient time
Charlatans rule over week and blind
Greed is the way of the Human Kind
Sun ain´t shining in the Human Zoo. Can´t you see you´re
Both deaf and blind

There´s no hope for the woman who pray, where`s her saviour, she got raped today
Cancer took a little boy today, was he a sinner who lived the wrong way?
All Religion caused us so much pain, it´s like a poison in the human vein
Shake my head 'cause it´s all insane, and will we learn, or do it over again?

So they say there´s a day when we all see the light, when we all live as one, I don´t think so

Charlatans rule over weak and blind
Evil from birth is the Human Mind
Poor are the souls, they who seek and find
Answers in Books from an ancient time
Charlatans rule over week and blind
Greed is the way of the Human Kind
Sun ain´t shining in the Human Zoo. Can´t you see you´re
Both deaf and blind

All Hail the King

Still Ringing in my ears, You rocked me from the early years
No Mercy there´s no lies, Till the end you never compromise

Fist of Iron for the Soul, All Hail the King of Rock n Roll

“Fuck the Devil and fuck Church too,” I remember that quote from you
So missed now you´re gone, Not a sound from Murder One

Fist of Iron for the Soul, All Hail the King of Rock n Roll

Fist of Iron for the Soul, All Hail the King of Rock n Roll

Still Ringing in my ears, You rocked me from the early years
No Mercy there´s no lies, Till the end you never compromise

Fist of Iron for the Soul, All Hail, All Hail the King
All hail the King, the King, the King of rock n roll
We all hail, we all hail, we all hail, the King of rock n roll
We all hail, we all hail, we all hail, the King of rock n roll

Evil

World's gone mad and days go by, I watch the news with sadness in my eyes
We haven’t learned a thing or two, Religious war under the blood red skies

I wish I could sing a song for freedom
I wish I could say that it´s alright… alright

The evil inside the human nature
The hatred inside the human mind
The evil human kind

Don´t be late, just learn to hate, the industry of war depends on you
They make you feel so insecure, but God is dead, so who is fooling who?

I wish I could sing a song for freedom
I wish I could say that it´s alright… alright
The evil inside the human nature
The hatred inside the human mind
The evil human kind

World's gone mad and days go by, I watch the news with sadness in my eyes
We haven’t learned a thing or two, Religious war under the blood red skies

I wish I could sing a song for freedom
I wish I could say that it´s alright… alright

The evil inside the human nature
The hatred inside the human mind
The evil human kind

The End

Feel how they're chewing, on your skin and bone
Slaving for all your life, now they left you all alone
Greed is the symbol, laughing in your face
Duties you've paid are gone, it's such a big disgrace

welfare's just a fading memory
who's to blame, we have a voice, you see

Corrupted politicians
And leaders without heart and soul
Welfare's not their mission
You are a number without a name

Nobody cares if you die int he gutter, disposable, replaceable
They are too busy collecting the gold, so just work and die, then goodbye
The end, the end

Work like a robot, from dusk till dawn
You will produce, we measure every move you make
Don't ever question what is going on
Brain is on overload and every muscle aches

Welfare's just a fading memory
Who's to blame, we have a voice you see

Corrupted politicians
and leaders without heart and soul
Welfare's not their mission

You're just a number without a name
This is the living game
Nobody cares if you die in the gutter, disposable, replaceable
They are too busy collecting the gold, so just work and die, then goodbye
The end, the end.

Nobody cares if you die in the gutter, disposable, replaceable
They are too busy collecting the gold, so just work and die, then goodbye
The end, the end.
