1. Intro




2. Hereafter

IMAGINE, A ROTTEN S.F. FUTURE
IMAGINE, WE LIVE THE BIRTH OF THIS WORLD

ALL IS DUE TO CHILDREN
NEVER LEAVING THEIR SEATS
BRUTALIZED BY T.V., COMPUTERS, VIDEO GAMES
CONFINED IN THEIR SCREENED WORLD
WITHOUT COMMUNICATION
UNCONCIOUS OF THEIR NATURE BECOMING EXTENSIONS
OF VIRTUAL LANDS - OF VIRTUAL LANDS

IMAGINE A ROTTEN S.F. FUTURE
IMAGINE WE LIVE THE BIRTH OF THIS WORLD
HEREAFTER IS NEAR AND NOT A DREAM
WAITING FOR / FOR / FOR OUR LAPSE

SELECTED FOR THEIR BRAIN
HUMANS ARE NOTHING BUT CLONES
EVERYBODY'S PLUGED IN TO A LIVING MACHINE
WHICH'IS USING THEIR MIND
TO ACHIEVE GLOOMY GOALS
ENSLAVING HUMANITY FOR THE USE OF SOME
IMPOSTER GODS - PRIVILEGED ONCE

UNDER A CRISTAL DOME
A LITTLE PARADISE
IN THOUGHTS AS UNCONCERN AND IDLENESS THEY LIVE
IN THAT WORLD THEIR ELDER
CREATED SO PERFECT
FEEBLEMINDED CHILDREN LOST IN A NAMELESS WORLD
USELESS AND DEAD - IT BECAME HELL




3. Warwolf

FIGHTING FOR A FLAG
FOR THE IDEAL OF A MAN
YOU NEVER SEE HIM, HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU
YOU'RE JUST A NUMBER ON THE PAPER
YOUR DESTINY IS TO DIE
YOUR NAME ON STONE FOR THE CRIES

YOU SEE A THOUSAND SKULLS IN THE SKY
BLACKER THAN THE NIGHT
IN THE OUTER WORLD THEY CAN SEE
THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE FREE
I'M KILLING A NAMELESS GUY
ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE FIGHT
HIS SMILING FACE REMINDS ME
THE TIME OF A BIRTHDAY NIGHT

BURNING, BURNING
MY HAIR, MY FACE AND MY MIND
THEY'RE GOING AWAY, AWAY

MY BRAIN IS IN JAIL
TRAPPED IN THE BOX OF THAT BLOODY HEAD
MY SPIRIT IS RUNNING AWAY
FLYING OVER THE WHITE HOUSE'S GARDEN OF SHADES
LISTENING TO THE STEPS OF A BEATLE I FEEL
THAT USELESS MIND, OH I'M CRAZY I SEE
THAT BURNED BODY WHERE MY SPIRIT IS LOST
BUT FOR SOMEBODY MY BRAIN HAS NO COST
FEELING THE WIND
BLOWING THE CHAINS
FEELING THE PAIN
TEARS ARE LOST IN VAIN

THEY ARE SAWING MY HEAD
FEELING THE WIND ON THAT DELICATE BRAIN
THEY ARE THINKING I'M DEAD
BUT I WANT TO LIVE, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL
LIVING IN ANOTHER PARADISE
I SEE MY FRIENDS ON THE CEMETARY'S GRASS
THEY ARE LOOKING IN THE HOLE OF THE TOMB
THEY THINK ABOUT ME AS FOOD FOR THE WORMS
EVERYTHING'S GRAY
FADING AWAY
MY EYES STILL SEE
IN ANOTHER BODY

I AM DEAD - I AM REBORN
I AM CRAZY - SORRY MAN
I AM NOT BLIND - I CAN FEEL AGAIN
BUT I AM NOT ME - WHEN WILL IT END

I AM LOOSING MY SOUL
I FEEL IT RUNNING OUT OF ME
I AM LOOSING MY MEMORY
I AM LOOSING, LOOSING...

I'VE GOT NEW METAL TEETH
ON THE BATTLEFIELDS AS A WOLF I BITE
I THANK MY MASTER FOR MY NEW BODY
OF FLESH AND STEEL, I'LL KILL ANYONE
I AM JUST A KILLER FOR THE FLAG
I AM JUST A FIGHTER IN THE NIGHT
I'LL NEVER DIE, I KNOW IT NOW
FLOWERS OF VICTORY WILL BURN ON MY FOES

RUNNING, RUNNING
I AM FREE OF QUESTIONS NO NEED OF ANSWERS
RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING




4. Shapeshifting Shadows

IN THE NIGHT
A MOB OF MONSTERS MAKING FUN OF YOUR SENSES
YOU LEAP AWAY THROUGH QUEER-SHAPED SHADOWS
AVOIDING THE LORDS OF DARKNESS YOU CRY FOR HELP
BUT YOU'RE ALONE AND FULL OF FEAR

SHAPESHIFTING SHADOWS
THE BUGBEAR IS PROWLING AROUND
SHAPESHIFTING SHADOWS
THE BUGBEAR IS COMING NEARER, NEARER, NEARER

IN YOUR HEAD
UNHOLY NIGHTMARES LIKE A WHIRL OF BAD VOICES
AWAKE YOU TO PRIMITIVE TERRORS
YOU FEEL THE BREATH OF MADNESS, A WAVE OF HATE
MAKING YOU AFRAID YOU RUN OFF FROM HERE

IN THE NIGHT
A PHANTOM LOOKER SEIZES YOU WITH SOFTNESS
SHE ALLAYS YOU WITH COMFORTING WORDS
SHE KISSES YOUR BROW WITH FONDNESS AND YOU BURN RED
YOUR MUM HUGS YOU AND DRIES YOUR TEARS




5. Heartbeat




6. Parts Wanted

THEY EMBODY DREAD AND SAFETY
POVERTY IS PREDATORY'S FALLING PREY
THE HELPLESS CONVERTING THEIR FLESH INTO CASH
AND EVEN CONTRIBUTING IN THE ORDEAL
TO SAVE THE MOST VALIANT OF THEIR CLAN
IT'S A MATTER OF HUMANITY'S AID
IN FACT A WORLD TRADE
BEYOND ANY POWER
ON BEHALF OF A GENETICAL EMPORIUM

THEY SCAN, PARTS WANTED
LIKE IN A DISPLAY FAIR
THEY SCAN, PARTS WANTED
LIKE IN A DISPLAY FAIR

THERE'LL BE NO WHITE COAT
THERE'LL BE NO WARD
ONLY THE SHARP STRIP
WHICH'LL BURY THEM IN THE MISFORTUNE
THERE'LL BE NO WHITE WALLS
THERE'LL BE NO GUARD
ONLY THE DULLED STRIP
WHICH'LL TEAR THEIR MIND IN THE GLOOMY ROOM

FUNERAL ORDER WHICH BRINGS TERROR
IN LANDS WHERE NO DEFENSE COULD BE HEARD
NO MORE DIGNITY IN A CRIPPLE BODY
THAN IN LIFE STOLEN BY A POOR DEATH
BEAUTY HAS NO COMPROMISE FOR THE FORTUNATE
AND THE CORRUPT ORDER TRACKS WHITHOUT REST
ALWAYS THE SAME FATE
THIS GREAT POSSESSORS
OF THE RIGHT TO APPRAISE OUR EXISTENCE'S USEFULNESS

SOME WRONG MOTIVES ARE BLINDING US
BRUTALITY AND SAVAGERY ARE DROWING US
WHEN THE PRICE TO PAY FOR A LIFE
THIS PRICE TO PAY IS ANOTHER LIFE
ANOTHER LIFE
TO SAVE A LIFE
THEY TAKE A LIFE
TO HELP A LIFE
THEY TAKE ANOTHER LIFE
