I am the restless guilt the comatose spectre gazing through your eyes
The monster dwelling beneath your skin
The madness lurking deep within
I am the boiling anger the stone-cold beast stalking the streets at night
The burning emblem of the lost
The mass destructive holocaust
Eraser - coming to seal your fall
Creator – to the ashes down below
Redeemer – counting the scars again
Blasphemer – defiance is my game
And when the preacher closed the door
And taught the child to worship god
I was the shivers down the spine
I was the next-day suicide
And when the calculation failed
And swept the cities in its way
I was the expectations crushed
I am revengeance and distrust
The backbone of society's breaking
Splitting down morals already defied
The pillars of cosmos are shaking
Glittering madness a viral infection defined
Star-forged I descend from the ages
A new god for the masses embracing decline
Sepulchral millennium of hatred
Impending disaster genetic harasser arise
The backbone of society's breaking
Splitting down morals already defied
The pillars of cosmos are shaking
Glittering madness a viral infection defined
Star-forged I descend from the ages
A new god for the masses embracing decline
Sepulchral millennium of hatred
Impending disaster genetic harasser arise
I am the inner lust the need to possess all the things you have lost
The slaughtered beauty in the mud
The fist right in the face of god
I am the faceless fiend the racist the nazi the communist
Sad parade of living clichés
Brain-dead you all look the same
