This is a song which I use to describe
what I feel About people like you No sense for humanity, no idea about life This premise has been proved You used my trust to satisfy your brainless lust Your word isn't worth more than puke in the dust Betrayer Betrayer Misleader, you twisted things to satisfy Deceiver, this greedy lust you can't deny How could I be so naive to believe all the lies You so easily told I think I've learned my lesson too late The story took time to unfold Now I see your true face Behind your mask, a cheat, a fake Your word isn't worth more than puke in the dust Betrayer Betrayer Ignorant twisted mind, maybe it would help To think before you speak from time to time Pretend to be a friend of mine But you would sell your mother if you could For less than a dime Intelligence lost, Brain deceased, So you will loose, fall to your knees, Guys like you I cannot stand Maybe I must speak another language before you understand |

Day turns to night as I rise from my grave
Black was the hole were I laid Stalking the city to seek out your blood I love when it showers from my blade Your body is so pretty but how will it look When my perverted lust is stilled No one to save you no parents or friends Because they've already got killed My only aim is to take many lives The more the better I feel My only pleasure is to hear many cries from those tortured by my steel The colour of your blood from your open body Is all I wanted to see Tasting the blood from your lips as you die means satisfaction to me Pleasure to kill Hear my heartbeat as you see me upon you Tears in your eyes I do not care Listen now to the motor of my chainsaw Open your eyes don't be scared Look into my eyes do you see any love? The only thing is agony Now I can't wait to give you the good pain Die now and be free Now that my mission is done Your body forgotten has been killed I return to the cemetery And my bloodlust is stilled My coffin is open for me I lay down and rest Nothing will set me free And so I kill until excess |

Savage heat is searing
Global warming has begun Mother Earth is reeling No protection from the sun Forest fires are raging While the rivers turn to ice Foolish man creating Mother Nature's cruel demise Hailstorms, tornadoes Cold spells, untimely frosts Heat waves and blizzards Global death's the cost Faces the end of time As we plunge headlong towards the day Can't deny the signs When the sun burns red The earth will turn From blue to gray Winter turns to summer Then the seasons disappear No one needs a prophet To explain what's all too clear Oceans overflowing Islands drowning everywhere Leaders wouldn't admit it Now they're crying in despair Hailstorms, tornadoes Cold spells, untimely frosts Heat waves and blizzards Global death's the cost Face the end of time As we plunge headlong towards the day Can't deny the signs When the sun burns red The earth will turn From blue to gray Now rain shall wash away sad remains of man Cities once so proud will crumble into sand Buildings all collapse when all is done and said The guilty ones will die with the innocent... When the sun burns red |

You cry out the aggression that is in you everyday
You want to kill the enemies if they cross your way In your heart is hate, terror is freezing your bones The night is dark and you're all alone The voices of hell sound so nice Final death is the price Can't wait much longer give them what they need Burst down their heads spread hellish heat Feel the endless pain Locked in metal chains Green and red monsters torment your mind The power of death will destroy mankind You die fast you won't feel much pain But why you'll never know It's a hellish game The voices of hell sound so nice Final death is the price Can't wait much longer give them what they need Burst down their heads spread hellish heat Feel the endless pain Locked in metal chains |

(M: Petrozza/Gosdzik/Fioretti/Reil u L: Petrozza u c Dark Wings)
(We thought we could use this live recording from Lichtenfels, Germany '92, to give you an impression of the energy exchange between us and our fans. that can only be created in a club or concert hall. No matter in which part of the world we play, it's always the universal language of metal music that connects us with people from all kinds of different cultural backgrounds. It might sound like a clichⓒ, but to me it's one of the most precious gifts in life!!!) Hypnotized by the masses And a future torn apart Angony, the final conflict Hatred yet ignored Love is colder than death And in coldness we'll remain Everlasting lies in chains Destroying dreams against all norms They spread it all across the earth Dominion without a form Winter martyrium Dead civilization on a mission Lead by gods Etiquette creates a cause To turn your back from life Secrets never told before Construct culture absurd Hit you like a shellshock As integrity has died Destroying dreams... Wide awake to the end Wide awake to the end Crisis and perpetual incest Performance of a nameless act Sadness takes your concentration Individual cages that we face Destroying dreams against all norms They spread it all across the earth Dominion without a form Winter martyrium for masses And a future torn apart Agony, the final conflict Hatred yet ignored (Performed live in Lichtenfels) |

Dark shadows lie over the city
Tonight someone will die You can hear painful screams The air is full of flies Mayhemic legions are ready To steal the human souls Come into my vault and do like you get told I'll eat your intestines No matter if you pray of please I'll bring you down to your knees Tonight you're gonna meet your fate You try to run but it's too late I am here to liquidate Time to raise the flag of hate Destroy the earth is our only aim To strike all down is the only way To give 'em death and let them pay The galleys of the underground Sail on the sea of blood All that we want crucify your god The posers on this earth have no right to live Torture is what we give |

(M: Petrozza u L: Reil u c Maldoror)
(Originally recorded for a promo vinyl single for Sounds magazine, England, featuring Motærhead, Kreator and two other bands I forgot about. Ventor wrote the lyrics about life after a nuclear holocaust. I guess it reflects some kind of the general paranoia in the 80s.) Fire's coming down, hot winds blow the smoke away Low screams of the survivers the innocent have paid Nobody knows what happened, light was all they've seen People walk through the destruction of the enemy Molten bodies become more and more, No chance to be saved Helpless childreen seek for their parents But they're into the grave After the attack empty souls tormented brains After the attack deformed mutants psychical confusion After the attack nuclear winter in the land After the attack will this ever end Everywhere starts the search for water and groceries Hate rules the land you get nothing if you please Fear is controlling all actions kill to survive The scarlet sky is the witness of all as the mutants arrive Between ruins rotting corpses lie the smell of burning bones All hope is in vain as death is creeping through the stones The only way out without pain is quick suicide All live in hell and fear It's your fate, it's better to die (Taken from the "Renewal" demo u 1992) |

[I gave this song a new title since it is the first version of "Winter Martyium", only available on the "Renewal" demo. Listening to the song today I wonder why it did not make it onto the album. Especially the lyrics are cool since they deal with the typical autumn/winter depression I have to go through every year of my life. The drumming is amaz-ing, respect to Ventor at this point.] Passing of perception unforseen reaction Staring out the window into the ice cold air Memories of summer causing my depression Through concentrated death and rainfall of despair Visionary eden turns to hell Winter martyrium Freezing me from inside Pastlife delirium As my tears turn to ice Snow the white empress, frost the ice cold forest At mountains of dead bodies I drank the sweetest wine Spring awaits lust for the autumn dominatress Life remains a dream within a dream visionary symbols ancient shine Summer's gotta come bringing back the sun Zero to none, winter awaits us all Mystic awareness With God conversing wide awake in your sleep Shining discovery mankind martyrium Planets of terror, hatred and deceit To live it means to suffer to die to live forever I'm left here with the others we could not die together And as I saw them dying I knew it had begun Emotional massacre A visionary kingdom come [Taken from the single "Behind The Mirror" u 1987] |

Don't look at me as if I didn't know
Your vanity is all you ever show What you believe and advocate Fanatic dogma recycled from yesterday Got a master plan Genocide Can't understand People of the lie You are to me the waste of flesh and blood I'd love to see you buried in the mud And when you die no one will shed a tear So pass me by don't need your hatred here Got a master plan Genocide Can't understand People of the lie Prejudice, intolerance, eye for an eye [SOLO - FRANK] You cannot hide behind those empty claims Your racist pride is nothing but a game And you will lose for right is on the side Of those who choose to fight for humankind Got a master plan Genocide Can't understand People of the lie You can't believe Don't be deceived |

Imperfection, new temptation
Innocence will breed new life Disillusion, desperation Free my mind and let it rise Mass enslavement, brutal torment Tomorrow will they see it clear Resurrection, disconnection Substance that can make us fly without fear Without fear! Never to be seen again Ever to release the pain Renewal of your mind Female's poison, male aggression Distance to reality Foreign places, fallen kingdoms Always keep secrets from me Subliminal, disciplinal The art of lying lives on and on As we struggle, as we suffer Inferior to life renewal has begun Never to be seen again Ever to release the pain Renewal of our minds Renewal of my mind Renewal of my mind! Isolation, illumination Modern men embrace the light War believers, peace deceivers Remaining in eternal night Politicians, fake musicians Create no relationships Hate frustrators, penetrators Resistance from a path that should not exist Never to be seen again Ever to release the pain Renewal of my mind... ...of my mind! |

Die slowly, you're dying
From this contageous disease Once you're infected there's no hope of a cure Your passing is a sure thing Your thoughts are empty and hopeless Nothing is left for your now Having to live with this terrible certainty Praying is all you can do It's vicious and crippling and slowly your life will end But how long will it take to save us from the plague With fatal convulsions the plague is reaching for us God knows! What will it take to save us from the plague Contracted by blood The virus can be in us all You're one of its victims, but then thousands more And they won't be the last So many civilisations before The mighty, the proud and the brave The poor, the rich - indiscriminate soon they'll all end in the grave |

Don't try to tell us what is right for us
We don't give a fuck anyway Don't try to steal imagination from us Things we believe we will never betray Those who have the power to Suck us try - throw us away those who never could create Destroy the music of today Those devoid of any feeling Those who make the compromise Betray themselves to make a deal Sell their soul at any price Sounds without feeling, energy or aggression From money hungry brains and not from the heart Fortune, fame and glory are their obsessions Salesmen, deaf to music, blind to art No honesty, just sterility A cautious sound they make without creativity It's still the same as another age When they took the words of truth and put them to a flame No more Love us or hate us No more Love us or hate us Some have eyes and still can't see Their plastic noise is anything but music to me Mechanized and computerized Switch off your brain and make sounds that dehumanize No more Love us or hate us No more Love us or hate us Don't try to take our dreams away from us We will never be like you Love us or hate us, it doesn't matter to me We don't want to be a part of this sick society Those who have a passion to Will never change our way of life We may not think the way you do But we know that we are right Those who want to form a world Of trends and monotony Have to do it without us 'Cause we always will be free |

Time has come the peace can't stand
Masters of the switch now rule the land Push the switch and send out death Politicians warpigs shit in head Try to run or hide From your death You will burn and bleed From your head Total death! No one escapes the burning flames Flesh and skin decays from your face Five megatons lie on every soul Destroy the human race is their goal Try to run or hide From your death You will burn and bleed From your head Total death! |

[M: Petrozza/Gosdzik/Fioretti/Reil u L: Petrozza u c Dark Wings]
[The announcement to "Europe....." on this live recording is an anti-racist, anti-Nazi statement that I thought should appear on this compilation even though - or maybe because - it's in German.] Indecisive government Regardless of brutal punishment Indestructable regiment Twice as many lives Perversion never too bizarre Can't remember who we are Influenced us to get this far Emotions paralyzed Monotony provokes the escalation Terrifying industry protect departed nations Can't get back together again Leaving Europe after the rain Acceptance of neo-fascist Persecuting anarchists Put the wrong ones on the list Let the new age begin Monotony provokes the escalation Terrifying industry protect departed nations Can't get back they're going insane Leaving Europe after the rain Can't look at the world the way I did before, Can't ignore they've all mutated into materialistic parasites Can't forget the pictures I saw on television Can't close my eyes on this abstract spectrum Tomorrow I'll be gone Forcing them to support without asking Imprisoned in factories for a lifetime Reasons are becoming meaningless Optimism leaves the bitter taste of hopelessness Tomorrow I'll be gone Monotony provokes the escalation terrifying industry protect departed nations Can't get back they're going insane Leaving Europe after the rain A complex keeps the industries In motion, for some new disease Bound to those who still resist Yet harder to find Monotony provokes the escalation terrifying industry protect departed nations Can't get back they're going insane Leaving Europe after the rain [Taken from the album "Renewal" u 1992] |

Night is over
Now it's dawn Your final day Has begun Hear the steps On the floor Hear the sounds Of the opened door Too proud to scream Too proud to beg for mercy You will die by the executioner's hand Under the guillotine! Tears are running Down your cheeks As you see The axe of death You were a prisoner Didn't care about rules Now it's time To pay for the fools Too proud to scream Too proud to beg for mercy You will die by the executioner's hand Under the guillotine! |

My inner eye sees many spheres
A cruel dimension where time and space Distort beyond control A ride to another center of the Universe My thoughts come undone make me see The dark stains on my soul A darkness as cold as ice surrounds me in this place I probe a veiled phobia, all my own Creatures crawl out from my weirdest, Wildest dreams They are flesh, not fantasy, They drag me inside the... Terror zone Demons, ghouls, and fiends that once I could ignore Shred the skin and flesh from my bones Planets form and die, The cosmos torment me Unnatural, humongous, never ending... Terror zone Now I know what dwells within me Blood - a river of sweat and tears Flesh - a land God left behind Soul - a sky of cloudy fears Deception and disguise Dissolve before my inner eyes My heart turns to stone God, I'm all alone Oh, no! All alone Terror zone... |

Riding in darkness through the hell of the night
Give all your torment to the heaven's might In the name of satan spread all your fear You feel his anger you know he's near Casting a spell Lord of all hells Ripping the angels God has fell Tormentor! Baphomet's calling death is now real Helldogs and demons waiting to kill Pentagrams shining Luzifer smiles Fucking the virgin rip out her eyes Drinking the blood Fear no god Now you are dead Your flesh is dot rot Tormentor! |
