The red rider comes! Love destruction, slaughter, pain, ignominy Enter the circle of blood, massive death ceremony Meeting the lowest ambitions once again war rules over us Citadels of death and horror, temples built with skulls and bones They claim ten eyes for one is what their gods want to be done They must know there will be wrath there will be loads of hate, they’ll get it There will be revenge Brood over your rusty mantra, “si vis pax, go parabellum we’re doing it for you, we’re sucking out the venom” Target schools, markets and hospitals, nests of terrorist rebellions How can you say you’ll flush evil while you’re crushing the salvation? They must know there will be wrath there will be loads of hate, they’ll get it There will be revenge Brimming numbers in your black book large civilian casualties Necessary measures for you… enough for me Who the fuck gave you the right to force your false liberty? Are you blind to truth, you puppets? We can’t sit still You’ll get it, you’ll get it, you’ll get it There will be wrath. You’ll get it, you’ll get it, you’ll get it Here comes the flock You’ll get it, you’ll get it, you’ll get it There will be wrath. You’ll get it, you’ll get it, you’ll get it There will be blood

Never got a clue, never saw this hue, never thought you’d feel the fire as close as I did Through the gate the blood red shafts swirl around so mesmerizing Would you wish to take a look to the world where ghosts are hiding Hold this key and get inside just close the door behind Face the night take that smiling mask off your distorted face Realize you’ve never met the hell we fight Cross the line to the void of words that no one ever said May the blindness let you see the bright red light So this ancient struggle goes demons cast shadows of angels As you climb the steepest rise you’ll feel the ascent is endless But remember who you are reject the mundane surrender Raise atop this ziggurat you’ll reach the flaming star Face the night take that smiling mask off your distorted face Realize you’ve never met the hell we fight Cross the line to the void of things that no one ever said May the blindness let you see the bright red light Pass the door leave doubts behind you Tame the beast we walk besides you Touch the light beat these wings of wax, fly as high as you can There's no fire that could melt down the vast sky Break the trance see this realm of dreams that no one ever dreamt Let the bright red light flood in, open your eyes Enter the bright red light

What’s your name? I can’t recall here up my throne wind blew your face long ago So you have lowered yourself to come back here to my palace of ice and glass All this cold you feel around, it’s just the gift you left behind as you walked out of my past What’s your name? I can’t recall here up my throne wind blew your face long ago You made your choice all by your own it took too long to realize you were wrong, were so wrong In the dark you left me down I met my fears I let them eat my guts and rot my flesh Was left to die in the snow bleeding out grief “but hey, the blizzard’s fine” comforted myself While I’ve been drained away you remain the same What’s your name? I can’t recall Now it is too late to beg and to regret Oblivion shelters me… go back the way you came

Astray 04:40
There was a time I was a proud and loyal member of the pack But lies and plots, the hostile rush hurt deeper than the sharpest fang I can’t see my way (the lights are low) I’m nothing but a wolf astray too far away from home These years of rain have drowned my soul I just wander around alone Frail and rejected, skin on bones I could not make it on my own Sunshine painfully burns my scars and blinds my eyes I flee the day as they flee as I pass But I’ve got used to the night and the dark I don’t need more light but what is offered by the stars I can’t see my way (the lights are low) I’m nothing but a wolf astray too far away from home These years of rain have drowned my soul I just wander around alone And so the steppenwolf had two natures, a human one and a wolfish one. In him the man and the wolf did not go the same way together, but were in continual and deadly enmity This was his fate, and it may well be, that it was not a very exceptional one One existed simply and solely to harm the other And when there are two in one blood and in one soul who are at deadly enmity... then life fares ill Well, to each his lot… and none is light. Deep within my feral heart what’s remaining of the man What’s remaining of the man? But now I chase a prey (the moonlight’s strong) I hail and howl, the night awakes to lead the prodigal sons I see her face, a silver sun taking care of her lost hounds

I’ve stood on this shore for so long I can’t remember if I was born here or came with the flow Across the river I gaze their happy faces they all oblivious to my roaring storm All alone, no one can hear me cry for help from this prison, so far, at once so close I crave to share their lack of concern but from this side, the view crushes my hope Can’t break free, can’t breathe deep it’s my will to retrieve some kind of peace To get away, to stay awake, to get out of this cell It’s not my fault, I didn’t ask for all this shit in my head Too long I tried to play along; I ain’t let them see my face But if the tide comes in at last, I’ll certainly drift away I used to scratch on the wall, one day one mark but since I ran out of walls, I use my skin I’ve thought so many damn times I should surrender I’ve planned so many times how I could flee Can’t break free, can’t breathe deep it’s my will to retrieve some kind of peace To get away, to stay awake, to get out of this cell It’s not my fault, I didn’t ask for all this shit in my head Too long I tried to play along; I ain’t let them see my face but if the tide comes in at last, I’ll certainly drift away All you fools are prisoners in your delusion of freedom, delusion of freedom The shackles that you carry are not light, their lie is your prison, their lie is your prison Turn off your TV and realize the chains that restrain you, your ties are not ribbons! I’ve stood on this shore for so long I can’t remember if I raised these walls and then locked me in Within this fortress made of concrete and iron I’m all alone but I can feel relief I’m still here, truth is free I feel safe, in this cage I stay aware To choose my fate , to find the way I don’t wanna leave this place It is my choice, I’m proud of it, I won’t burden with your chains I see the sun over the clouds, but keep my feet down the earth And when the tide flush you away... on my shore I will be safe

The game is on, I feel the groove my wrists are red, the ties get loose easy to see their next move ‘round I can’t check mate with a mad pawn Figure the way out of here, figure the way out of here figure the way out of here nothing lasts, nothing lasts, nothing A born reflex, when grief bears down bury my heart into the ground it’s hard to wear the mad man’s crown I can’t check mate with a dead pawn. Figure the way out of here, figure the way out of here figure the way out of here nothing lasts, nothing lasts, nothing Gifted resilient, numb dissonance pain can’t break you down I can feel the strain, tight rope round my neck what’s the proper way to raise a dam against the pain? I can feel the strain, tight rope round my neck what’s the proper way to raise a dam against the pain? This martyr says, this martyr says find calm in this terrifying place this martyr says, this martyr says find calm in this terrifying place

Never alone 04:39
Those eyes, those kind memories This voice, still haunting me But I didn’t see this predictable end This state so hard to keep This maze we’re stumbling in And we didn’t see this predictable end look what I’ve become She never learnt to be alone and now she trembles, no one’s 'round anymore Tosses and turns, calling for love but I ain't got what she wants Can’t cry fear out of me This wreck of shame and guilt But when coherence fails nothing can be right I’ve tried so hard to feel I failed, you fell with me Now we cannot help, this is not gonna work She never learnt to be alone and now I tremble, she's not 'round anymore We crawl away, clumping along yet we won't get what we want She never learnt to be alone she never learnt to be alone she never learnt to be alone She’ll never have to be alone

Montauk 04:20
They gather round the natal bed, the foolish and the wise They fear the child yet to be born, whose voice shall rend the skies The faithful watch the forest for the coming of the king Their lanterns bright, they wait at night, for the new world he shall bring Their lanterns bright, they wait at night… (he’s coming soon) for the new world he shall bring Seven seals, seven rings Seven brides, for the Scarlet King They’ll give birth to the wicked heir Fear the true fallen prince The hens were in the henhouse, and seven eggs did lay 'till fox crept in by dark of night and stole the eggs away Six broken by their bindings, six no more shall sing The seventh fully unwinding, and all the birds did sing The seventh fully unwinding… (he’s coming through) and all the bells will ring Seven seals, seven rings Seven chains through the marble sphere May the world shake below his feet when he wakes up from his sleep When the first had given birth, then all the birds did sing Her screaming cries did shake the skies, as she called out for her king By doctor's blade the second bade a life into the world His bride the third remained unheard, her cries for help ignored The fourth prepares a dagger and points it at her heart The fifth one's crown was bearing down, apocalypse begets On the sixth's day, walls gave way and the oceans turned to ash her birth gave work, as the earth shook, underneath the king's fell lash The seventh bride will break the tides, the moon no more will shine There comes a day not far away… she'll birth the death of time Hail the king, hail the king, hail the Scarlet King

Welcome to South Peaks twilight makes us golden as we walk down the street This city never sleeps saints of stone behold things that are hard to believe Cross the bridge and see guile and erudition rule together in here But at night, the wild runs free Come over, show's to begin dance to the tune of your sins If you quarrel, we are for thy downtown our rock commands the night... join the fight! You’ll find allies here brothers and sisters, we meet to resist But grant trust carefully backstabbers and hookers cloak as wise men and queens We bite our thumb at thee if we raise together adversity cannot win Here we stand, in south peaks I can't curb this impulse I can't help the rage set this city on fire waste my own Pompeii Listen our word tear down their thrones Listen our word bring down the lords Come over, listen our word rise up and tear down their thrones Come over, listen our word in South Peaks where corruption flows... We'll make them fall!

Bang, bang 03:32
Drive fast out of the cloud of dust; it’s been a long way, almost out of gas The mob’s ahead, throttle up , let the engine roar, let the bumper tap This is a resistance race, you cannot cover, neither run away Do you feel the scent of hate? It smells like blood, is floating in the air Never been told what to do when everyone is trying to get rid of you Never been told what to say when time and time again they do their best to crush your life fucking ‘way Bang, bang, hold that smoking gun, you better be fast if you want to last Aim for the head, hold breath and rub, the trigger likes the touch of the gentle hand This is getting bloody man, not enough ammo, you should use bare hands The crack and splatter is a pleasant sound when coming from the skull of a rabid rat This is a resistance race, you cannot cover, neither run away Do you feel the scent of hate? It smells like blood, is floating in the air Never been told what to do when everyone is trying to get rid of you Never been told what to say when time and time again they do their best to crush your life fucking ‘way You’re screwed, legs start to faint; but you know what they say, no pain, no gain The loss of blood is serious stuff, only adrenaline makes you keep stand Your body steams, you fall to the ground, a silent smile after a thousand rounds Today you have made history: today will be remembered as a day of fear This is an offensive stance; ain’t need to cover you came to face your past I can feel the bitter end, it tastes like ash, it’s always dust to dust Revenge is a one way road, forgiveness’ not a privilege that they are worth Revenge is our way to go When you live by the fire... It’s by the fire that you fall

Ouroboros 03:36
Once back upon a time somebody told me “kid, life is a game that you can never win” I’ve lost so many times, yet I cannot agree if there’s a goal there is a way to get to it These old fears stand in my way fate repeats the same mistakes When sun sets down hope burns the past If night comes by let us be ash Far in the grey horizon silhouettes wave me farewell one for each time that I have ever failed But I must walk ahead towards the distant promised land through this uncertain fields your voice warms up my heart These old fears stand in my way fate repeats the same mistakes When sun sets down hope burns the past If night comes by let us be ash Is it just pointless in this recurrence the pale delusion is falling down By will to power next oscillation will push us forwards we’ll reach beyond Break out the cycle fight through the limits the path’s not over defy your bounds One more effort This conscious deliverance resentment seems far away As godless stars plow through the skies If night is dark, let us be light We are lost on this road we'll find ourselves
