1.	Quemadero 05:36	lyrics	buy track
Chosen to be the example of a mind that's set to surrender Crowds of sheep, they await to meet who is next in line, who's to suffer King and queen, they are both bathing in the blood of so many innocents Inquisition is their offspring, it delivers only their punishment Quemadero ! You burn ! He who sits on the wood, no water or food, what can he be thinking ? Fire creeps up his bludgeoned legs as his nameless grave is awaitng. "What have I done? Why am I here? Are they so blind... They smile as I am set for the flames... How can they not see I'm only the beginning, Their god doesn't make friends..." Ruthless is the hand of the bearer of death, a peon he's only Screams of pain as the flesh drips slowly engulfed by cheers of the "holy" Quemadero ! We burn !
2.	The Nameless 03:54	lyrics	buy track
You've reached your own december The ground betrayed your life This poor disfigured human Stuck in a silent scream for life When no one is around you To reason with your fears This poor disfigured human being, cold, There's no one else to blame, embrace your grave Reminder for the things we say The pulpit knows the price there is to pay A hypocritic noose on my throat The punishment for not accepting their truth Hanged by the throat for their lies Or left to rot inside a wooden box None to redeem their fallen lives There is no hope in the light I must surrender to the void When you're asleep In your nightmares you fear To stray from all that's close and dear You shun the day when you're alone Beneath the ground, a nameless grave, etched in stone
3.	In The Sand 03:37	lyrics	buy track
I sold my soul To the devil No more pretend I can't defend My lust for war Revenge and gore Hard to withstand Death takes my grasping hand Left behind for dead in the sand ! Nowhere to run I'm trapped there's no escaping tragedy The burning sun upon a corpse, I know it could be me As blood and sweat drip in my eyes I see my life The dark slowly engulfs my sight, I think that now I'm free Left behind for dead in the sand !
4.	Pandemonium 03:15	lyrics	buy track
It's time for havoc We're back again None to play soldier None left to defend We make the noise and we shake the ground The end is coming, the end is coming for them now. Burn the fuckers down then carry on to other lands It's time for them to face the truth: there is no meaning, there's no sense Burn the fuckers down then carry on to other lands It's time to face the consequence Blood flows red and the thunder grows slowly Scars are all over my face The dream of freedom I dreamt so unholy My soul cold has kept We brought the power We felt the pain In this ominous wasteland We brought the crimson rain It's our time to bring the rain This time it won't feel the same When this bloody rain comes down it's... Pandaemonium!

6.	Gospel (of The Unbeliever) 03:32	lyrics	buy track
The ages have taught us the blueprint A race made of saints and of slaves A sign worn by men born to worship Their blood does not run in these veins Escape from the preachers Who teach you to beg and to serve My mind is blooddrunk with temptation My life is entirely my own The gospel of the unbeliever ! Adrenaline rushes through my veins Your gods won't be able to hold me Free from your shackles and chains Prepare for "redemption" There is no turning back There'll be no mercy
7.	Muttawwa 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Cease control of faith Corrupted vermin lurk in the bowels of your mind Afraid of all that's yours In sleep the only glimpse of the freedom you've come to desire And there's no way to wake up Despise the system they treasure Stuck with the "few and the proud" Enlisted to kill just for pleasure Sacrifice the weak Close your filthy eyes to abuse and exploitation Letting children burn for a dressing code Preaching flagellation But there's no way to wake up Despise the system they treasure Stuck with the "few and the proud" Enlisted to kill! What's the price we have to pay The shackles growing ever tighter History will not repeat on it's own Until the shallow minds will bow by the altar And there's no way to wake up Despise the system they treasure Stuck with the "few and the proud" Enlisted to kill!!!!
8.	Consecrated Filth 04:07	lyrics	buy track
I hold my future And I'll fight with everything inside me I'll go forever You get just what you see I hold my future And I know I will never be alone in This endless fight against the ones we have forsaken Reach for the power, it's yours to have Scream for your freedom, the writing's in the sand I hold my future And I know I will never be alone and It's now or never You get just what you see. Corruption is the only law Their fallacies are all we know Allowed to live just so and so Surrender or be left alone Their filth is consecrated It'll leave you desolated Inside you're so frustrated You'd rather be left alone Hold your breath and visualise A new beginning through my eyes Raise your fists into the sky Now's our time, it's only now or never. I know you're losing And you think it's the other way around and Until I close my eyes your filth will be disproven We're here to stop it The expansion of your dogma-filled bullshit And when your idols fall It'll be your turn to learn to crawl Corruption is the only law Their fallacies are all we know Allowed to live just so and so Surrender or be left alone Their filth is consecrated It'll leave you desolated Inside you're so frustrated You'd rather be left alone
9.	The Bitter Pill 03:44	lyrics	buy track
We are lost in this life, condemned to abolish our human instincts To bow, we're slaves to the sound of their voices controlling our very existence No! Can it be so?! We're trapped on a path of throe and deception And how can we let go, I want to know what's the purpose we're seeking Forever we bow in its silence We choose not to know Forever we bow in its silence Let them tell you to live the way of enlightenment, a sad mockery No one can tell me what's right and all of this darkness is helping me see A destiny ruled by a creed that spreads like disease from the tongue of the serpent The fall of ideals of man who won't understand he lives in the present Forever we bow in it's silence Days of death and no tears will I shed as the veil will be finally lifted Chaos will spread midst these ants, engulfing their hearts, all this time has been wasted
10.	Fading - Sanity 05:30	lyrics	buy track
"Each day that passes I feel stuck in the past A new version of yesterday is my present A reflexion in a broken mirror" Everything stays the same in this picture painted with strokes of uncertainty What is real, what does it mean to be heard when your mind can't discern your own words? Senseless and blindfolded is the way to survive in this mirage that we call life Your mind is a burden, your heart is a lie Your face is just a part of this disguise Just a mask, just an illusion When reason fades, your sanity fades away Madness within you, the light of despair Shall shine on your path of enslavement Crucified on the altar of lies A fitting end to your wasted life Just a mask, just an illusion My sanity's fading My will is unbending My body is rotting inside The mirror is breaking Inside he is shaking The ending is claiming His wilting, worn-out life
