Higher than Heaven

we start dying from the moment we were born - so we just keep falling from the top they call heaven - holiness and glory - tools of predatory - get through the limits of our blinded minds and live free in the lands of our starving hearts - thats what we need - thats what we want - under the nation of rats - running for our lives in the sewers full of filth - keep falling from the top - they call heaven

floating coffins on the river of sorrow - endless traveling with aimless passengers - sky high prices on the ticket black market - exchange our souls for a fortune of prophets - bone of the father - flesh of the servant - blood of the enemy - from your horror I create my dream - confess your sins from the throat of death - release your demons I'm the exorcist - put the crown of thorns on your head and let the blood flow into your mouth - speak now - this is your throne - the taste of the truth - your stomach cannot take it anymore - so let it out - you cannot keep it forever on the tip of your tongue - i create my religion - shape it to my own - i welcome death into my soul - born a rat in the year of the snake - lost among the lies in the heavenly maze - built in our heads - stab by stab - thats how you get everything but respect - you are the rats dying in the pit of my snakes

Aimless Walkers

in my world there’s no crown for the kings – no one can shackle me or ease all my anxiety – this may not be the paradise i await – but a better place than your cage – the cage of fear – where you were raised to serve – force fed to blindly follow – we all only die once and i won’t waste my time – like you, aimless walkers – straying with no purpose – with open mouth to swallow – but i won’t kneel down before your idols – i make the world fall to their knees and rise back – that's what your bastard’s son said – the saviour will come and you’ll be there to wait – but i walk my own path – have faith in myself – i can make it out alive – because the only death awaits – no idols to disappoint – no heroes to fail – no expectations of innocent veins – through the veil of tears i can see crystal clear – your god is my disease

stop the earth - turn no more - let the darkness grow - the weight is heavy and the heights scare me - may my tears would show the way - stray on the fields like a prey try to escape - starry eyes stare the staircase - fall into the depths of the sinners' nest - while heavens have become this hell - live no life no longer - the weight is heavy and the heights scare me - my heart is filled and it's hard to carry - darkened lights shining black - point of no turning back - still standing for the mass - for the few who deny the misleaders of this heartless world - fuck all the fake ones, their thoughts and wills - i’ll never be so weak to believe in their blinding lies - i’ll never waste my breath to say a prayer upon deaf ears - it makes only death years - our hearts are filled and it's hard to carry - the streets are paved with blood but we need to learn how to love - dark nights with no street lights - living beneath the upside down - the silhouette of the devil awaits at the entrance like a god for a nonbeliever - i’ll never waste my breath to say a prayer upon deaf ears - it makes only death years

i started this fire to burn this world in the flames of hell - from my ashes left over here i am back again - where the new heaven has been dying and true love doesn't exist - because in this heaven of endless hatred theres no truth and no one to be loved - true believers rest in peace - broken hearts still beating in pieces - it’s time to change, it’s time to go - blood from the hearts flowing cold - it’s time to clear the filth from the hands and wash the sins away - the streets run red, behind the masks faces suffer loneliness - because in this heaven of endless hatred theres no truth and no one to be loved - so you say the wolves are at my door? - sheep are cutting your shepherd's throat - here comes the church rats to drink the holy blood - we are the creatures they made - while they're crawling we're drowning in the ocean of hopelessness - with our hearts in our hands and stones in our chests

33: Love A.C.

‘was the son of a preacher man, yes he was - i wouldn't have him die for me - then leave his kingdom reign upon us - his love notes were written in flesh - our love distorted with his pain - this is what they want from us to gain - this what they want for us to feel - our love distorted with his pain - but you cannot teach us how to love - our filled hearts are the weight of the wretched world higher above than heaven - the weight of the secrets buried inside is pulling us down - on the golden path straight to the abyss lower than hell - this constant circling, this routine of hiding who we truly are - the only thing that follows us from womb to tomb - this is what they stole from us - the right to be loved by the ones we lust - but they can never teach us how to love - the only one who could never reach me - ‘was the son of a preacher man - the one boy who could never teach me - ‘was the son of a preacher man - yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was

Lower than Hell
05:57
|
|

i would kneel down to beseech for locusts - nothing shall be left in the end - for the devil (can) walk the earth as blood and flesh - to bury the remains at the edge of the earth - with no headstone or epitaph - i beseech for this world to purge - wipe off the face of the earth - nothing shall be left in the end - only (for) the horizon (to be) seen and the borders are the crystal seas - someplace somewhere i can live - not just hide - then rise above

Frigid Mary the beautiful sinner - the woman clothed in sun - standing in her blinding light - my shadow melts the walls - hers is the face of true beauty in this kingdom - if there was and if there is a h(e)aven it must be like resting in her arms - they say love kills you slowly - so i’m not afraid to die - Dope Jesus the suffering saint - feast upon the heart of the beast - crucify the antichrist for our love - play god - nail me to the cross - bleed war - cry peace - that night they found something more than fear

i refuse to be a part of a world that gives up on everything and everyone - eternal fight to find the way to blame others - someone else but me - but there’s always a choice - my blood is getting cold - cut off my face to show my smile is only skin deep - i’m not afraid or feel ashamed to say love - under the lonely moon i build my home - i give birth to the unborn - i am the father, the brother, the mother and the sister of the child inside that is going to be reborn - to the world of sadness and finally settle the sides - bring the balance - crucify the antichrist for our love - put all heavens in rage - these darkest days are numbered - i can see the light at the end of the tunnel - death keeps knocking on the door but the end means that something else is about to begin

Declaration

i’m no better than any other son of man - curse myself i cannot change that - i was born this way to waste each haunted breath - i fucking hate who i am but i swear i try to be better than this - i just cannot yet - i need time to recreate - to rebuild and maintain - leave the past behind - forget the history full of hell - cleanse myself - erase the pain - turn to the next page and leave all the chapters behind i've already those a thousand times - burn the bridges - breathe the smoke and blow it out as far as i cannot grab a hold - just watch it fade away - i forgot to live while i lived to forget - now i put my faith in something different - the declaration written in blood - the letters are bold - the colour is black - i put my faith in something different - i’m no better than any other son of man - i juts put my faith in something different

Bury the Remains
03:12

the blackness in my heart tears me apart - within i am frail - i am ruined - i am rotten on the inside - i feel like everything is lost so i leave this world through my agony - a shooting star's glimpse in the darkness - that gives me a chance to make a wish - i yearn for it to crush into the ground to level everything - only one set of stone would be left over - the cliff of the oblivion - i’m sinking into oblivion
