02. Forevermore - Lyrics:

Warning sound of sirens, waking you up
This five-piece mayhem crew will force you to stop
Striking with power, no hesitation
We'll turn your head in less than an hour
Welcome to our nation

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames

Underestimated, head to toe in dirt
Keep your distance for your own sake, try to stay alert
Despite what you think, despite what you say
You better take a tighter grip because we are here to stay

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
We'll no longer be servile
Not anymore

Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis

When and if that day will come
When all is gone and we are not around
Just close your eyes and listen hard
And we'll be back again

Underestimated, head to toe in dirt
Keep your distance for your own sake, try to stay alert
Despite what you think, despite what you say
You better take a tighter grip because we are here to stay

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
We'll no longer be servile
Not anymore

Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore

03. Roots Of Anger - Lyrics:

I nail your feet to the ground
And I will never let you go
Never let you go

I'll follow your every turn
Waiting for the final error
I'm right behind you

Oh, it's eating me inside
Tearing me apart
Killing me so slowly
Ripping out my heart

Oh, it's planting seeds in me
Keeping me alert
Paralyzed by the fear
Spreading the roots of anger
Roots of anger

I nail your feet to the ground
And I will never let you go
Never let you go

Oh, it's eating me inside
Tearing me apart
Killing me so slowly
Ripping out my heart

Oh, it's planting seeds in me
Keeping me alert
Paralyzed by the fear
Spreading the roots of anger
Roots of anger

04. 10.000 Ways - Lyrics:

Reckless and limp, small swollen brain
A gaze that reveals everything
Wet as a rat, been soaked for years
Drinking gin after gin

Insanity enters in...

Looking for the keys, violent as hell
Now hearing the words of truth
Blind mindless fuck, indifferent
And ready to waste another youth

Spinning wheels, speeding up
Braking too late, crashing through the gate
Destroying what gets in the way

Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
With honour and pride, heart open wide
We all want to leave
Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
Sometimes our destiny is something else
That we've always believed

Blood on the road that leads us to hell
Traces will vanish in a haze
Hate and disgust, no sympathy
The faster one will win this race

Spinning wheels, speeding up
Braking too late, crashing through the gate
Destroying what gets in the way

Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
With honour and pride, heart open wide
We all want to leave
Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
Sometimes our destiny is something else
That we've always believed

05. Holding On To My Pain - Lyrics:

This will be the day that
I will close my eyes and ears
From the evil of the world

These are my last hours
Before I will let it go
I'm so close yet so far

One step behind, one more to go
I'm almost there
I'm still alive and grinding on
I still believe

Days go by
And I'm holding on to my pain
Keeping my eyes away
From what makes me weak, fragile and small

This is my time, I own it
Until I crash and fall
I'm keeping it all inside

I am in control
Or that's what I keep on saving
I am a wreck, am I alive?

One step behind, one more to go
I'm almost there
I'm still alive and grinding on
I still believe

Days go by
And I'm holding on to my pain
Keeping my eyes away
From what makes me weak, fragile and small

06. Swirled - Lyrics:

Pitch black skies whip down the rain
That freezes your blood and makes you feel weak
The wind and the cold are bringing you down
You fight, you'll lose, you just don't know it yet

The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever get back home, now you know it too

Every single step you take gets you closer to the bitter end

The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever get back home, now you know it too

What is the secret?
The power you're insanely driven by?
And what is the source
That makes you think that you can fly?
One more!
You'll feel like a king
The ruler of the world
One more!
You'll feel like a god
Just before you're swirled

One... more... time...

You see the light that gives you the warmth
You pray, you beg, but no one can hear

The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever get back home, now you know it too

What is the secret?
The power you're insanely driven by?
And what is the source
That makes you think that you can fly?
One more!
You'll feel like a king
The ruler of the world
One more!
You'll feel like a god
Just before you're swirled

07. Down With Me - Lyrics:

Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love

Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are

For thousands of years
I have seen how man's been creating his own hell
Been wondering about the human race
And the ways they brought themselves down

I've never shed a tear
For the one that slowly killed himself
And never looked ahead
I will come when the time is right
Just to make another one

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
I'll break every dream you've ever had
And make your life so, so sad
Make your life so sad

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free

Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love

Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are

I call your name
I tease you, I tame
I hold out my helping hand
You're first in line
I'll give you the sign
That's written in stone and sand

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free

Come closer my friend
And don't be afraid
I'll take care of you and your dreams
Now the wise men are dead
Forget what's been said
Because nothing is what it seems

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
No one will ever be free

08. Face In The Mirror - Lyrics:

Time after time
We hear the world's cry
No matter how we try
We're always one step behind

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

We are weakened by the virus
There's nothing we can feel
If this will be our last song
I welcome you to the real

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

09. Solid Ground - Lyrics:

Don't know about the future
Don't know about the past
Clinging to life like
Each day was by last

Out of the cold

I've searched every corner
I've walked every way
Given up my mind
Just to see a new day

Out of the cold
Into the fire

I'm on the run
From what I don't know
And I'm going nowhere

I'm on the run
Trying to find some shelter
I'm looking for solid ground

I am coming home
I'm done running around
Longing for warmth
And your solid ground

Out of the cold
Into the fire

I'm on the run
From what I don't know
And I'm going nowhere

I'm on the run
Trying to find some shelter
I'm looking for solid ground

10. The Source - Lyrics:

As tired as I am
What keeps me going on?
Exhausted by anxious
I push until dawn... until dawn

So what is the price
That I'll have to pay?
And where is the place I can finally stay?
And find my own peace

Oh, I open my arms and take it all

Higher - My mind's flying higher
Above all of my hopes
Fire - That feeds my desire
The fuel for my mind
The everlasting source

As long as I breathe
I live
As long as I live
I give
And take what belongs to me

Oh, I open my arms and take it all

Higher - My mind's flying higher
Above all of my hopes
Fire - That feeds my desire
The fuel for my mind
The everlasting source

11. Great Man Down - Lyrics:

Another great man is gone
But his songs will live forever
And they'll never die
For decades he carved
His words in our hearts
The master, the legend now lies

With honour and pride
He walked through his life
Sometimes it was far too hard
He stood like a man
Defending his land
Got beaten, rejected, got scarred

Another great man is down
Only hero around
The soldier of our times
Never listened, never cared
For the words that they said
So he paid for his crimes

These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories where heroes will never die
These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories and songs
Where the great one will always rise

Another man, brave and tall
He took care of us all
Never bent under pressure or pain
With a heart like the sun
He stood tall and wouldn't run
Away from the wind and the rain

There are the stories and songs...

So the story goes on
And years go by
That's for sure
Memories will live forever
And we'll be singing along

12. Forevermore - Lyrics:
[Bonus Track: Eurovision Edit]

Warning sound of sirens, waking you up
This five piece mayhem crew will force you to stop
Striking with power, no hesitation
We'll turn your head in less than an hour
Welcome to our nation

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames

Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis

Underestimated, head to toe in dirt
Keep your distance for your own sake, try to stay alert
Despite what you think, despite what you say
You better take a tighter grip because we are here to stay

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
We'll no longer be servile
Not anymore

Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis

When and if that day will come
When all is gone and we are not around
Just close your eyes and listen hard
And we'll be back again

Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore

01. Reinventing The Noose - Lyrics:

Translation is a loss when the casualties are patterned
With skilling treatment in manics so far removed
Co-occuring symptom is the echo of agony
Abuse the flesh to trigger disgust

Reinventing the noose whip of loyal lies
Live it one at a time
Live it one at a time
Loathe it all the time

Idle asylum ache splinters grace
Escape bleeds out recovery
A seep in supply replaced wholeheartedly in a missing link of loss
Complexity is hanging high to stimulate withdrawal
Society's transparency will pick at collective thaw

Everything is a disappointment in theory with sympathy as therapy
Feel formal, feel forsaken

Live it one at a time
Loathe it all the time

Forecasting must secure in the cult of industry
When extreme compulsions crowned to revise a score
Devoid of emotion with a hex on the wish
Hardships will always benefit on choking from the role

Reinventing the noose
Whip of loyal lies

Everything is a disappointment.

02. Haunter - Lyrics:

Haunter, give me that target simper
Posed as goddess in flame for my taking
Enshrined heart from heaven's wake
Haunter, last in line on heathens hunt
Testimony breaking miles for safe returns
It enables the wait

Make or break enormity, your design is black on gold pith

Haunter, encourage the alter to revive
Chasm to where we revel safety
Celestial site we've never gone

Make or break enormity, my art is feeling fearless

Stifle beauty, sleeping giant our kindle for comfort bound
A temple of rain and reign to spill out

Haunter, healer struck by heartfelt fix
Castaways from the search and summons secure in a composition

Make or break, desiring our skill is fixations need

I'm louder than bombs and damaged
She reveals dark sides of the moon

Pour over to protect our sentiments
Baring calm in worlds of callous
Tyranny of distance calls out the haunter.

03. Big Timber - Lyrics:

Hey, leave me be to torch the skies and your constellations
Banned disaster new era chilling my
Dramatics are anthems
Weaved covertly in surprise hint to reveal
Beyond collapsing a sonnets blur by the cons

Doom ridden, the light is out
Paralyzed by negatives sworn
Dead lethal, distance myself
I've found my place to turn

Big timber against you all

I've given my certainty in ritual insight

Noble stabbings, brokedown and busted
Never open me up, but I think I'll stay awhile

Doom ridden, the light is out
Paralyzed by negatives sworn
Dead lethal, distance myself
I've found my place to turn

Big timber against you all

I've given my certainty in ritual insight

Big timber against you all.

04. Given In To The Taking - Lyrics:

First blood on the civic corrosion
They crawl in the sin of children
High hopes come along in the riddle loose
Crossroad motion from a stiff at the vine
Longhaul learnings to parade in the heat
Lessons lean in a click from the turnstyle
Blinding tone of morals in minors nest
Sits the cancer all ready for trimming

Curiosity vicious in action
While the crowd screams
On contagious conspired performance
Love in the motion
Love in the unknown
See it to believe it

Smiling killer, swooning stranger
Herd, hazard, the heretic

Given in to the taking

Something wicked in the land of the lost
Adaptation from life in the swells
Tiny vipers fanged tight to the nerves
Blood worms - host shifts the war to the stage
Prowling to haze battles in curses
No gods to speak, no answers to tame

Curiosity vicious in action
While the crowd screams
On tagious conspired performance
Love in the motion
Love in the unknown

Show the sorrow disguised in red roses
Sent as fault in benevolence
Send them everything to end formality
And be aware of who is listening close

Given in to the taking.

05. Skinwalkers - Lyrics:

Nights will shorten to spill the skin
Hellbent and hammered descent
Liquored, laid among the gathered
Hunter to runner in rival pissings
The scene is thickly managed
Paranoia recorded on tombs
Sizing, secular view-deconstruct identity

Siege them, seldom seen in towering eyes
Swelling spawn, sagging from the tint
Combat ills, it's murder for passage
Skinwalkers loom to roam alone

Half nature, half monster-arise from tension-evolved from moderation
Nights slip with caution to the wind
Saviours sent to stripped-out surroundings
Phobic shock is valour when haste proceeds arrival
Black mass crusade for the loyalist
Ceremonial motherload-panic serves momentum in chaos
When the chase is on

Impetus at face value, will and weapon on the people

The walk of snipes in the plague of age

Siege them, seldom seen in towering eyes
Swelling spawn, sagging from the tint
Combat ills, it's murder for passage
Skinwalkers loom to roam alone.

06. Curseworship - Lyrics:

Putting filth on the map
For all the changing to reap
Challenge the martyrs
Who cry wolf in the movements aloud
Drain the resource
Indelible mark in memoirs of lore
Incapacitate how much more of this annihilation

Narrowed, confined, captured, absorbed
Cross the evidence to take them out
Dodging motive - battle scarred
Inconclusive to standing for the truth
Dripping from the truth

Deadliest oust of the watch from the evil eye
There's blood in the water
Bait to tame the endless order
In hidden agenda, swaying knowledge
From powers that be
Revisit conclusion
Custom insulted to hush the critics who curse
From the gallows

Beasts in kings, honour among thieves
Encounters impaler

Narrowed, confined, captured, absorbed
Cross the evidence to take them out
Dodging motive - battle scarred
Inconclusive to standing for the truth
Standing for the truth

Splitting arrows in air open season
On the lair
Monuments to ruins
Malediction scatters wide
Worship dynasties weapon romantic dissent
Harbour in hell with mercy's guide
Grievance has - bitten back - If they stand they die.

07. Hooks As Hands - Lyrics:

Strident affect with a seer to the throne
First take at the simmer, cold sweat stands distressed while dark clouds gather
Run them wild, pacing lengths to the flame of the fire
Scorched contenders tease the fate of the tempest times

Habitual horror trials of sanity
The savouring soul will scream for sovereignty

Sanctions for the streets altered states for keeps
Crucifiers seek poise with omission in the trade of hives
Young bloods bound to sway the horde
Collateral damage drawn aroused on the victims swell

Habitual horror trials of sanity
The savouring soul will scream for sovereignty

With hooks as hands to downcast rage
Dare for havoc in the deadlock ruse

Composure from damnation
Masochism in a vortex consolation void
Chamber of redemption or infirmary

Habitual horror trials of sanity
The savouring soul will scream for sovereignty

With scars on layers, scabs as warriors
Labelled terror labelled honor

Cutthroats loose in the eye of their persuasive kill
With hooks as hands
Cutthroats loose in the lust of the foreseeable future
With hooks as hands
Hold the roar.

08. Ruin Them - Lyrics:

Tarnish the crowns, stone them judge and jury
Upon the swerves reclaimed in slaved simplistic

Refuse and render, defuse and repel
Refuse the rue and force a panic in the creed
Or devour the virus, suckle the seed, remain slayed
Attached to an evil that bares the name

This is subversion - this is humanities coup
This symptomatic, rushed to certain demise, for us all

Refuse the refuge, refuse reform
Provoking tyrants - send the indictment to the realm
Delivered chaos, catharsis but keen, deem defeatist
They are an evil that bares the face

Institution of dealing demand, fundamentals for indoctrination
Spineless force to lure the sect and induce
Elimination - let it loose, will they'll tear from this
Ruin them - can't deny the scorned

Unveiled brutality - spine It's axis
Shift to avow an infestation

Ground breaking appeasement - to the failed achievement
Corruption is in protection - so collapse their excess.

09. Den Of Infamy - Lyrics:

Insolent, culture of voyeurs
Denounce your element
Assemble the faces, forget the names

Safety in frontlines, preserved in smoke and mirrors
Close-up on portraits of past
Explain your process, expose the mole
Diseased, deceived, they hide away
Den of infamy.

10. Unleash Carnage - Lyrics:

All out violence from creators within
And a cleansing slate rehearsed to inflect
Dehumanized ambition for keeping safe
Fierce rejecters behest of the voices

Evaluate the value of living without being alive

Prevailing atomic outcast
Blacklisted from their social sifting law to protect
Discarded catalyst
A cutthroat in the making to unleash carnage
Escaping the fate
Forging inspiration in the knife to isolate
Silver linings silver settings
Enticed from salutations and the siren noise

All out violence from creators within
And a cleansing slate rehearsed to inflect

Evaluate the value of living without being alive

Prevailing atomic outcast
Blacklisted from their social sifting law to protect
Discarded catalyst
A cutthroat in the making to unleash carnage
Every enemy is an antidote.

11. Summon In Thunder - Lyrics:

Divine wind carries the care of creation's hum
To live in punishment
Prosthetic arrogance - bewildered infinite

Wrath will touch thee when times strike trails
Left hand path beneath still waters so

Summon in thunder
Howling down in vain

Dear departed flee the site slagged - damned
Run for the hills despite the cold neglect, my daunting

Depraving in a land of plenty
Thriving off the zealous degenerate

Glutton summon your prospect of irony

Dear departed flee the site slagged - damned
Run for the hills despite the cold neglect, my daunting

System overload spearheading the scamp
I, tormentor, will the crashing derelict

Howling down in vain.
