A Dying Fall

The Final Trumpet

First trumpet sounds
Hail and fire and blood
Rain on us

Second trumpet sounds
Mountains burning, fire
Crash into the ocean
Tainted red

Once they sound
Can we turn the tide on end times?

Third trumpet sounds
Stars fall to the earth
Poisonous the bitter water
Fourth Trumpets sounds
Collision of stars
Darkness will embrace the heavens

Wake up sinners wake up
Mark your heads in blood
Wake up sinners wake up
Mark your heads in blood

Once they sound
Can we turn the tide on end times?
Woe,To those who dwell these grounds
The angels will announce
Woe, woe, woe, To those who dwell the earth
The last will be the cursed

Sicario

A threatening sound in the distance – time is of the essence now
The imminent arrival of choppers and tanks
A calculated risk, you always knew how this would end
But the fear of losing your freedom remains
Shivers down your spine, ’cause you know they’re here for you
Wondering all the time…

Wondering all the time
Why did you run away
With their money and trade…

What were you thinking…but now it’s too late…we’re coming to get you
What were you thinking…but now it’s too late…we’re coming to get you

Trapped like a rat, nowhere left to go or hide.
Your front door blown to pieces – there’s no escape
Masked figures rush in, heavy boots land in your face and gut
Hit hard against the ground, tied down, gagged and silenced

Wondering all the time
Why did you run away
With their money and trade…

What were you thinking…but now it’s too late.. .we’re coming to get you
What were you thinking…but now it’s too late.. .we’re coming to get you
You lost control, crossed the line.
Now face your fear

“You fucking dirty rat, I’m not even gonna ask you why”
“Now tell me who the fuck you work for”
I am blindfolded, tied-up to a chair
Interrogated to the bone, and kicked in the face
Trying to keep my mouth shut with all that i’ve got.
Until the machete cuts my throat

What were you thinking…but now it’s too late..we’re coming to get you
What were you thinking…but now it’s too late..we’re coming to get you

You lost control, crossed the line

SICARIO!

No Moral Dignity

This situation, now realize
The worst of sin, the best we have tried
Deterioration is justified, humanity will see itself die
No reprisal, no salvation, drenched in sin, no tears left to cry
Mass extinction, stupidity, what is the merit, when all of us fall

Disruption, a great demise, will strike but we are still blind
Contradictions, all what’s right, made wrong to feed our minds
Decisions reflect, enhanced to neglect, sodomy, and nothing is left
No moral dignity,
Conformation of our kind

Decisions reflect, enhanced to neglect, sodomy, and nothing is left
No moral dignity,
Conformation of our kind

Superficial supremacy, to wipe out reality
Hateful lies now lead the way, this is all but new, can’t you see?
The rise of shame, but no one takes the blame

Decisions reflect, enhanced to neglect, sodomy, and nothing is left
No moral dignity,
Conformation of our kind

Decisions reflect, enhanced to neglect, sodomy, nothing is left

Must repent or submit
Awake now or forever submit

Wrecked

How I wonder why the ships have sailed away?
This compass guides me down a path that’s not my own
It’s not my own

What’s left has turned to dust
In enemies you trust
Present the gift of hate
While we unravel our fate

Who is the one to stand
Against no ordinary man?
You are the pillars to my reign
As I drown the world in vain
Sink or swim (Sink or swim)
Time to choose

In the wreckage
Of our minds
We will overcome the tides
Crash into the waves

As we salvage
Anything at all
Lift the anchor
Lead the way
Crash into the waves

They told me to always trust in time
And let the currents save me
No land in sight, nowhere to call home
I am the shield, I am the storm

What’s left has turned to dust
In enemies you trust
Present the gift of hate
While we unravel our fate

Who is the one to stand
Against no ordinary man?
You are the pillars to my reign
As I drown the world in vain
Sink or swim (Sink or swim)
Time to choose

In the wreckage
Of our minds
We will overcome the tides
Crash into the waves

As we salvage
Anything at all
Lift the anchor
Lead the way
Crash into the waves

Instigate To Annihilate

As we are we like to kill and spread the hate
As we are we want to burn and spread disease
Full of shit as we act like gods again
Without any sympathy or disgust we’re lost in sin

This is our system, entwined with hatred.

Fight them!

As you can see, we cannot live with equality
As you can see there are no signs of humanity
We just want to oppress eternally
And fight each and every soul that dares to contradict

This is our system, entwined with hatred.

No mercy…. (fight), no freedom, we take no time to free ourselves
We take no time, so we can’t (fight) all those lies.

As we fear another sign of tolerance
As we fear another way of self-respect
Mind control, we don’t need a guide to hate
Mass controlled hypnosia feeding our superiority

This is our system, entwined with hatred.

No mercy…. (fight), no freedom (fight), we take no time to free ourselves
We take no time, so we can’t (fight) all those lies

Instigate to annihilate
Instigate to annihilate

(We) please no more, hide no more, lie no more, hate no more, fear no more, the day has come to retaliate.
A brand-new humanity is standing up, rising up, instigate to annihilate
Breaking down the walls of the stronghold of hate. Nowhere to hide, restore the faith,
…We …will …fight… you’re reduced to nothingness, nothing remains

No mercy…. (fight), no freedom… (fight), we take no time to free ourselves
We take no time so we can’t (fight) all those lies

Instigate to annihilate

Demonic Firenado

A distant roaring through the sky
A horrible and screeching sound
Pierces through our inner ears
As the doors of hell are opened once again

Dark beings gather to violate our cities
To indulge in our flesh and blood
What on earth do we owe to deserve this?
What have we called upon ourselves

Brutal punishment, day after day
The feasting of demons
Is this the end of life as we know it?
We’re forced into slavery in this new hell

Demonic firenado, no escape, no remorse
Everything we cherish, reduced into ash

The world in a blink of an eye
Razed to the ground

Demonic firenado, no escape, no remorse
Everything we cherish, reduced into ash
Demonic firenado will wipe the whole world out
Leaving nothing behind but smoldering landscapes

The face of death
The face of fear

Despair strikes and desperate souls
Suddenly turn to god again.
But realise it’s too late…it is too late…
It is too goddamn late

The face of death
The face of fear

Rise of The Sycophants

It is time, time again
To relive it all again
History repeats itself, from the void they have returned
Savagely violent, more hell-bent than ever before
Nothing and nobody can beat their cunning lies

Fast as your legs can carry you- evil spreading on earth continues
Take flight and don’t look back-embrace for the attack

We dare to speak, we dare to fight
We dare to say what’s on our minds
Stand up now!
We dare to say what’s on our minds
Stand up now!

We are defiled, now they feast on our misery – driving us into insanity
This is now. This is real. How can it be?
I cannot live anymore in this reality

We haven’t reached the end, as the beasts are raging
Our destiny is in their vile and ruthless hands
Our minds will never yield while the future is at stake,
We’ll stand up for ourselves!

It is time, time again
To relive it all again
History repeats itself, from the void they have returned

We dare to speak, we dare to fight
We dare to say what’s on our minds
Stand up now!
We dare to say what’s on our minds
Stand up now!

We are defiled, now they feast on our misery – driving us into insanity
This is now. This is real. How can it be?
I cannot live anymore in this reality

We haven’t reached the end, as the beasts are raging
Our destiny is in their vile and ruthless hands
Our minds will never yield while the future is at stake,
Our destiny is in their vile and ruthless hands
And resist oppression
And resist oppression

Designed to Violate

We are defied, controlled, betrayed and deprived of our own minds
To see without sight. Living the big lie
Sickening world, the pain we call reality
Without change, we are forever bound in silence

We are not done, when walls break down, WE ARE ONE!
In this world, pain will feed the fire
Keep holding us down, and we will rise as tyrants
Without change, we’ll take the path of violence

Take the path of violence
Keep holding us down
The path of violence

We must rise as tyrants…

We’re designed to violate and hide our fears
We are denied but we are here
My thoughts divine, for all those years

We’re still denied, controlled, detained, devoid of life
To dwell without light, living the big lie
Sick of this world, the filth you call humanity
Time is now, to erase your design, end the silence

Take the path of violence
Keep holding us down
The path of violence

We must rise as tyrants…

We’re designed to violate and hide our fears
We are denied but we are here
My thoughts divine, for all those years

Without change, we are forever bound in silence
Without change, we are forever bound in silence

We’re designed to violate and hide our fears
We are denied but we are here
My thoughts divine, for all those years

We are denied but we are here
My thoughts divine, for all those years

Destroyance

We’re all doing very well today
A very nice job destroying our only home
Destroy it, ruin it, pollute it, you name it
It does not bother us, no regrets at all
Tear it up, tear it up
Emissions from nuclear plants are everywhere and time will come that we will
Blow it up, blow it up another gaping hole in the ozone layer

As long as it’s beneficial to the rich
It’s justified
We’re on a roll to destroy everything, polluting rivers and seas,
Tear it up, tear it up
Emissions from nuclear plants are everywhere and time will come that we will blow it up, blow it up
But of course we try to disguise and conceal everything

So we fake it-but we no longer fall for your lies
So destroy it – as you are deaf to all our cries
You better not talk about decency
Nor speak to me about democracy
So destroy it – and then we’ll see how it all will end

A completely destroyed landscape by acid rain
Soaking the ground, contamination all around
The final chapter in ‘Mankind’s History’

So we fake it-but we no longer fall for your lies
So destroy it – as you are deaf to all our cries
You better not talk about decency
Nor speak to me about democracy
So destroy it – and then we’ll see how it all will end

Denying all our cries, persisting in your lies

The world is yours to destroy
The world is yours to just tear it up, tear it up
Emissions from nuclear plants are everywhere and time will come that we will
Blow it up, blow it up
But of course we try to disguise and conceal everything

So we fake it-but we no longer fall for your lies
So destroy it – as you are deaf to all our cries
You better not talk about decency
Nor speak to me about democracy
So destroy it – and then we’ll see how it all will end

Denying all our cries, persisting in your lies

Approval Denied

I will not accept your state of mind
I’ve lived with hatred all my life
Fuck this!! Selfishness!!
This is our truth which you can’t deny!!

Damn! We won’t deny our heritage
Fuck! Abuse of your supremacy
No! we won’t give in to your conformity
Fuck! Approval denied

Out of silence I crawl
The fight’s just begun
We’ll fight our war
Your nature will fall

Despised by all among your kind
Having disposed of all our cries
Fuck this!! Selfishness!!
This is my faith, approval denied!

Madcap’s Rise

Degradation of modern
nations seems so self-inflicted
Misplaced pride, misused might, arrogant sophistication

I will endorse a few stupid phases of exaggerate modification
Madcap’s rise, madness slides forward in destruction

Fuck this I will never understand why they reject our demands
Neglect of social desolation, my rage can’t be broken

Desperation indicates infectious information
The weak one cries, balance dies, the rich one gains provision
I can’t imagine a fair division if corruption’s preservated
Accumulation of misstatements must be relegated

Fuck this I will never understand why they reject our demands
Neglect of social desolation, the truth must be spoken
Fuck this we will never live with lies
Declared by thieves in disguise
How much of this must be taken? My rage can’t be broken

Desecration of our kind, relentless provocation
We will thrive, disregard, dissenting regulation
We will continue this social fight, a neccesitive propagation
In the end we rejoice widespread pacification

Fuck this I will never understand why they reject our demands
Neglect of social desolation, my rage can’t be broken

Pain

I will help you die
So you confide in me
I will help you die
No more, the longing to be set free

Cruelty will let you cry
Listening to the voice inside
Playing with this fucked up mind
Don’t want this part of me to break free

LISTEN, I refuse to be humane
I WOULD rather choose to be insane
SHORTAGE shortage of capacity
I HATE when you point that finger at me

Now feel my pain

LISTEN, I refuse to be humane
I WOULD rather choose to be insane
SHORTAGE shortage of capacity
I HATE when you point that finger at me

I will cry, wondering why
This need to stay alive
a sudden realization
it lingers on and on…

Remaining as it is, this burning pain inside

Seal your fate
A mild delay
Your world decays
You better be afraid
Rearrange
A need to obviate
Now feel my pain
