Day By Day
Listen
Solo – Markus Johansson
Would you like to join me
I’m gonna to go for a ride
And if you can’t make it
I’ll see you on the other side
There’s but one solution
Don’t look so surprised
All the misfortune
Is in the public eye
Whoa now we’re in trouble
Can’t you believe they lied (Can’t you believe they lied)
Freedom of speech
…the American dream have died (This dream has died)
I’m not backing down
‘Til I’ve justified (‘Til I’ve justified)
Your disfigured delusion
Controlling all our lives
The death of a nation
Abused authority
With no hesitation
In the name of conformity
Fear, do not question
Turn your head
Truth’s assassination
Don’t believe a word they say
Day By Day

Eternal
Listen
We all live in this asylum, the world that we call home
Where the only cost of living is death, the meaning of life, is shit and we don’t care
To sit and reflect, for why would action speak louder than words
And the human race tears itself apart, with violent moral nerve
Hell is here, right under your nose, best of all possible worlds
Too much is never enough for the greedy, and God forbid you should say what you’re thinking
But if you do, hell awaits you, place for all your crimes
Every second of every day, walking the thin line
They’re watching you watch me
Plaguing my sanity
Eternal disparity
Now do as you’re told, and believe…
Do as you’re told, and believe
Do as you’re told, and believe…in me
Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Solo – Markus Johansson
We all live in this asylum, the status quo of life
We sit locked up, in our cages, and fight to live, on minimum wages
Material control is control of the mind
‘Sit back, relax, enjoy the show!’, the ‘knowledge’ of our time
They’re watching you watch me
Plaguing my sanity
Eternal disparity
Now do as you’re told, and believe…
Do as you’re told, and believe

88 Reasons To Hate
Listen
Solo – Markus Johansson
So now I see, this is the way it’s going to be
And I choose, to not lie down, I’ll never lose
For I know, that all my hate begins to show
When I see, your picture in my memory
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate
Look in my eyes, for all that is good has died
And in my head, it must have been something I said
Closure, fuck you and your pathetic composure
You live a lie, I hope that you’re satisfied
Solo – Markus Johansson
Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate
Go ahead and fuel my hate
Save yourself before it’s too late
How many more times must you try
Chances to get caught in a lie
Wait until, final judgment
Everyone will see
You’re too sad to move on
Try and fuck with me
Solo – Markus Johansson
Now you see, countless amounts of testing me
I’ve done my best, I’ve only got to pass one test
That’s my own, so you motherfucking mindless drone
Kiss my ass, or is that too hard to grasp?
Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Memories, give me a reason to hate
Lunacy, driven out past the brink
Madness, drown yourself in your sadness
Now you see, 88 reasons to hate

Shock And Awe
Listen
Solo – Markus Johansson
That’s it, no more of this
You have crossed the line
And we have taken your shit
Your only option’s death
Fire rains down from the sky
Fire rains down from up on high
…and
We light up the sky tonight
We light up the sky tonight
We light up your sky tonight
We light up your sky
Sirens ring loud for all to hear
And we can smell your fear
Shouting does no good my dear
When the morning comes…
…and
We light up the sky tonight
We light up the sky tonight
We light up your sky tonight
We light up your sky…
Tonight
Solo – Emil Werstler
The awe of all your dreams, for all your life
Will not, will not add up to, the shock of this night
Permanent Heartbreak
Listen
It’s not the first time, I’ve felt this before
So few and far between, I’ve always longed for more
With just a little taste, I find myself in a broken state
No matter how hard I try, I can’t fight this yearning deep inside
So uneasy, consumed by the pain
So unsure of what to do, I’ll say goodnight again
Scared of what might happen if I raise the stakes
Build myself up for a crash, a permanent heartbreak
My heart, has failed me
My heart, has ceased to beat
My heart, could not take the stakes
Permanent heartbreak
Please don’t tell me, I can’t take anymore
There’s nothing more to be said of the ultimate score
It’s not a matter of lust for what I cannot have
Cuz once I set my sights I can’t kill the rush deep inside
Solo – Markus Johansson
So uneasy, consumed by the pain
So unsure of what to do, I’ll say goodnight again
Scared of what might happen if I raise the stakes
Build myself up for a crash, a permanent heartbreak
My heart, has failed me
My heart, has ceased to beat
My heart, could not take the stakes
Permanent heartbreak

Dead To Your World
Listen
Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
To hell with you, and your nine to five
Cliched thing that you call life
Brainwashed misery
Up to you? It’s up to me
Say things that you don’t mean
Then demean with what you say
Right for you, not for me
Take a look, don’t you see, that…
I am dead to your world
World war three tonight
Ending without a fight
No say, not for me
Compromise your dignity
You think it’s alright to act without foresight
Your state of mind is frightening
My world of you, is free, cuz
I am dead to your world
Solo – Markus Johansson
I am dead, I am dead, I am dead to your world

Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God
Listen/Buy
From the ‘risen’ time
A deadly strain of lies
A virus, hypocrisy
Corrupt is the human legacy
Your greed, lust, and gluttony
Your sloth, your pride, and your envy
Combined together, do comprise
The wrath that you’re about to see
So down, down on your knees
Your cries and all of your pleas
Fall, fall on deaf ears
Falling from grace over two thousand years will end tonight
Cursed tongues, ‘neath crooked smiles
Manipulate the rank and file
Distorted truths will set you free
In this hell, of absurdity
Your greed, lust, and gluttony
Your sloth, your pride, and your envy
Combined together, do comprise
The wrath that you’re about to see
So down, down on your knees
Your cries and all of your pleas
Fall, fall on deaf ears
Falling from grace over two thousand years will end tonight
…of an angry God
Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Steve DiGiorgio
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
It all will end one night
In a brilliant flash of light
Extinguishing all in flame
And you’ve only got, yourselves to blame
Down, down on your knees
Your cries and all of your pleas
Fall, fall on deaf ears
Falling from grace over two thousand years will end tonight
…of an angry God

The End Of The Nightmare
Listen
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Solo – Markus Johansson
Darkness has haunted, this dream as of late
An evil approaches, falling into place
Which you will embrace, with arms open wide
The nightmare is coming, now shield from the light
Blind to what’s in front of your eyes
Stop all the lies
Sinister disguise
“Classified”
An image is clouding, your judgment of late
Ideals are an ideal, a troubling fate
A misleading cause, puts it all on the line
Playing “god” is the sign, of an evil, devine
Blind to what’s in front of your eyes
Stop all the lies
Sinister disguise
“Classified”

Rise And Die
Listen
Solo – Jordan Rudess
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Solo – Christian Lasegue
The sun will rise and die today
A final call, a killing craze
Can’t walk the day, forever night
The sun sets, it’s time to rise
A black heart, chained to the night
Dead inside, choking the light
A black rose, against my grave
Restless life, nocturnal slave
I will rise, you’ll die tonight
On the hunt, to your surprise
My heart beats dead, not quite alive
Fill the void, night after night
A black heart, chained to the night
Dead inside, choking the light
A black rose, against my grave
Restless life, nocturnal slave
My black heart is charred, from years of pain
Burning inside of me, enslaved, insane
Hatred for the world, keeps me alive
Fueling my need to feed the bleeding, time to kill, tonight
Rise and die with me
‘Dead-beats’ rise, they will die
Cross my path, say your last goodbye
My legion grows, from night to night
In the end you’ll see, that when we rise, you’ll die
Rise and die with me

Afflicted
Listen
My affliction has taken me
Lost all control to a deadly disease
Mind and body, no longer mine
The end is near, a matter of time
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Alone, where do I belong
How did I go so wrong
Step outside myself, what do I see?
This afflicted ruin, that is me
Solo – Markus Johansson
Mind is slowly, breaking down
Slowly heading, underground
It’s not my fault, I can’t control
Violent swings, within my soul
Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
There is no comfort, when you’re alone
Now as I fight for my life, I realize chilled to the bone
Death is the end of a joke called ‘life,’ where darkness sets the tone
My affliction has taken me, I’ll surely die alone
Solo – Andy LaRocque

Evilution
Listen
Open your eyes my love
We have got to get away
There is no time to waste
We must hurry, we must make haste
Why can’t I feel your heart beating
Please don’t slip away from me
Goodbye, my love
They’ve taken you, away from me
With your death, dies the best of me
I cannot relieve myself, of this disdain
I pledge the rest of my days to thee
For my love is buried, six feet deep
I ride, with fire in my eyes
And the wrath of hell, closely behind
Speak not, none shall hear your cry
Vengeance shall be mine
Vengeance shall be mine
See her pain, in my eyes
Feel my pain, as yours die
Hear my pain, in your cries
My love’s lifeless face is all that I’ll recall
Kill them to see her once again, ’til then I shall not fall
I’ll leave a bloody trail, of bodies burning bright
No one will to tell, no ending in sight
Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
Solo – Markus Johansson
Solo – Larry Tarnowski
See her pain, in my eyes
Feel my pain, as yours die
Hear my pain, in your cries
…in your cries

Asche Zu Asche
Listen
Warmer Körper
heißes Kreuz
falsches Urteil
kaltes Grab
Auf dem Kreuze lieg ich jetzt
sie schlagen mir die Nägel ein
das Feuer wäscht die Seele rein
und übrig bleibt ein Mundvoll
Asche
Ich komm wieder
in zehn Tagen
als dein Schatten
und werd dich jagen
Heimlich werd ich auferstehen
und du wirst um Gnade flehen
dann knie ich mich in dein Gesicht
und steck den Finger in die Asche
Asche zu Asche
und Staub zu Staub
“Asche Zu Asche” written by Richard Z. Kruspe, Paul Landers,Till Lindemann, Doktor Christian Lorenz, Oliver Riedel, and Christoph “Doom” Schneider.
Wired In The Blood
Listen
Solo – Markus Johansson
Empty eyes, darkened souls
Contempt filled lies, bought and sold
You don’t have to die, just so you can live
You just have to live, live before you die
Wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired, wired in the blood
Sacrifice, justify the means
Such is life, never as it seems
I don’t have to die, just so I can live
I just have to live, live before I die
Wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired in the blood
The fire, wired in the blood
Empire, wired, wired in the blood
Solo – Markus Johansson
I’m wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired in the blood
The fire, wired in the blood
Empire, wired, wired in the blood

Acquiesce
Listen
One shot to make them stronger
One shot to make them weak
One shot to make them demons
One shot to make them saints
One shot to make them masters
One shot to make them slaves
One shot to make them memories
That will live on, in infamy
When the dose is right
Control will be denied
Acquiesce the fight
And no one will survive
One shot to make them follow
One shot to make them lead
One shot to make them heal
One shot to make them bleed
One shot to make them silent
One shot to make them scream
One shot to make them enemies
Who’ll change the course of history
When the dose is right
Control will be denied
Acquiesce the fight
And no one will survive
Solo – Steve Smyth
Solo – Markus Johansson
Those who live in infamy
Will change the course of history
When the dose is right
Control will be denied
Acquiesce the fight
And no one will survive
