Lucifer 03:32
No one asked him to die just to put me to shame To burden me with guilt and suffer in vain I don't need his forgiveness, I need to survive For I know that God doesn't care in the absence of light I won't eat his flesh, I won't drink his blood Won't pray for salvation to an uncaring God No, I won't eat or drink from the body of Christ The King of the Jews is the king of lies And God doesn't care in the absence of light But Lucifer carries a torch And guides the way through the night My crippled black heart for the Lord of the Flies I won't go through hell just to go to heaven No, I won't go through hell just to go to heaven His kingdom come My will be done I won't kneel for no God, won't kneel for no king And I won't be ashamed that I'm not without sin And in my darkest hour, I won't turn to Christ For I know that God doesn't care in the darkness But Lucifer carries a torch And guides the way through the night My crippled black heart for the Lord of the Flies I won't go through hell just to go to heaven No, I won't go through hell just to go to heaven His kingdom come My will be done His kingdom come My will be done

Drunk and wrecked I wanna do cocaine I wanna feel alive I wanna numb the pain I wanna fight Let's start a fight I had way too much But I want more I wanna feel alive I wanna start a war I wanna fight Let's start a fight No idea whose blood that's on my hands I hope not mine Oh yeah Oh, Misery For sure loves company But I don't need a friend I need an enemy I wanna fight Let's start a fight I had way too much But I want more I wanna feel alive Let's start a fucking war I wanna fight Let's start a fight I'm not sure whose blood that's on my hands Oh, but chances are it's mine It's always mine Shit Oh, I have so much hatred in my heart I can't think straight, it's tearing me apart Misery for sure loves company But I don't need a friend I need an enemy Without empathy That will show no mercy to me Oh yeah Drunk and wrecked Think I've been here before How am I still alive? Fuck it, let's drink some more And start a fight I wanna fight Are you ready, man? Tonight's the night And I don't really care If I make it out alive As long as we fight Let's start a fight I'm not sure whose... oh shit, I know it's mine Who am I kidding? Oh, I have so much hatred in my heart I can't think straight, it's tearing me apart Misery for sure loves company But I don't need a friend I need an enemy Without empathy That will show no mercy, oh "We have so much hatred in our hearts" Let's let it out tonight "We can't think straight, it's tearing us apart" Who'll make it out alive? Misery for sure loves company But I don't need a friend I need an enemy Without empathy That will show no mercy Come on, let's end this shit tonight

Crucified 02:54
I want to be a sinner in your hands Oh angry Goddess, please show me some mercy Your beauty makes me a religious man I praise you higher every time you hurt me Oh yeah Oh baby, your sapphire eyes Got me crucified Come resurrect me, girl And I'll die again I'll die again for you Oh girl, your beauty's so divine It's like a revelation I know that I'm a stranger on your land But angry Goddess, please show me some mercy Let me descend right to your holy spring And slake my thirst, for all I want's to please you Oh yeah Oh baby, your sapphire eyes Got me crucified Come resurrect me, girl And I'll die again I'll die again for you Oh girl, your beauty's so divine It's like a revelation Redeem me Oh, answer my prayers Redeem me, darling Because your beauty's so divine It's like a revelation I'd die again for you And again and again

I haven't been here in a while Not much has changed, the same blue sky And still, the river carves its way Through fields of green, but it is not the same I haven't been here since you've passed Oh, since that day last spring that's been our last Each stone and tree is where it's been Not much has changed, except for me The place that's been my heaven's now my hell And every day, I think about what you've told me last Your final words from your dying lips Oh, that crushed my heart “Be prepared to lose Before falling in love" The sun is laughing at my pain I know, the fate of man's to die in vain That there's a time and place for everything But I'd do anything to kiss your lips again The river's laughing at my grief It's torturing me, but I can't leave This is as close as I can get to you now I just want to lie down here and decease The place that's been my heaven's now my hell And every day I think about what you've told me last Your final words from your dying lips Oh, that crushed my heart “Be prepared to lose Before falling in love” That's so easy to say But so hard to do When death comes, I'll embrace it I'd give my soul to bring you back But Lucifer won't take it I'll just lie here In these fields of green 'Til the very end And never love again Oh no, for to love is to lose

I'm going on a killing spree An unholy crusade I'm a missionary with a higher aim I’m gonna end your misery Your struggle with futility Be grateful, I'll release you from your pain Only death is an end in itself And I promise, I won't hurt you Only death is an end in itself And I promise, it won't hurt at all Just close your eyes And send a prayer The Devil guides my every stab His will through my hands I'm a missionary with a higher aim I'm gonna end your worthless life You shall be my sacrifice To the one that puts your God to shame Only death is an end in itself And I promise, I won't hurt you Only death is an end in itself And I promise, it won't hurt at all Just close your eyes And I promise, I won't hurt you, no Come, send a prayer And I promise, it won't hurt at all Just close your eyes Prepare to die

As I'm walking through the darkest valley As the weight of life is lying on my back Trapped in a sheer endless night Oh Lucifer, come on and bring the light Because I'm a wolf living among sheep And I want to eat from the forbidden fruit Is there life before the fall? Oh Lucifer, why don't you hear my call? I want to see the light before I face the black I want to feel the sun before I drown in darkness I want to see this world before I must go back Come on and bring the light Illuminate the night From the deepest depths you hear us calling From the highest mountains sounds the Devil's choir Trapped in a sheer endless night Oh Lucifer, come on and bring the light Because we are wolves living among sheep And we want to eat from the forbidden fruit Is there life before the fall? Oh Lucifer, why don't you hear our call? We want to see the light before we face the black We want to feel the sun before we drown in darkness We want to see this world before we must go back Come on and bring the light Come on and bring the light, won't you hear us? Oh, we want to see the light Oh, before we die there has to be some life
7.
If you want to waste your life If you want to follow Worship and believe in lies I won't stop you, man But don't come knocking on my door I am glad your bullshit works for you Now get lost Don't tell me 'bout your lord and savior Don't force-feed me your fairy tales of Christ And his sacrifice Because I've heard them all before Don't come knocking on my door Don't wanna see your face no more Just fuck off Try to save your eternal soul But leave me the hell alone, yeah Don't tell me 'bout your lord and savior Don't force-feed me your fairy tales of Christ And his sacrifice Because I've heard them all before Don't come knocking on my door Don't wanna see your face no more! Do you hear me? Your God is dead Christ died in vain Don't bother Don't bother me ever again

Tonight 03:35
Won't you stay with me 'til dawn, my love? For the night's so dark and cold Oh, please stay and give me warmth tonight Offer me a hand to hold Heavy words are lightly thrown I am used to being lonely, but don't leave me alone Won't you stay, just for tonight, my love? Oh, I swear I'll be alright by dawn But the night is cold and dark Oh, and solitude can do more harm Than a dagger to the heart Heavy words are lightly thrown I am used to being lonely, but don't leave me alone Won't you stay, just one more night, my love? Oh, I swear I'll be alright by dawn Just stay another night I beg you Oh darling, please keep me alive tonight In these dreadful hours I need you Heavy words are lightly thrown Oh please, please don't go I am used to being lonely, but don't leave me alone Won't you stay just one more night, my love? Oh, I swear I'll be alright by dawn Just stay another night I beg you

Mortal Son 04:07
The blood of God From the veins Of his own mortal son Is dripping down From his feet Staining Calvary Nothing is more divine Than the free will of man If there's a God There's a God-given right For all men to die As they please Oh, sure there is For he has sown his misery Oh, let him reap the harvest Let him die 'Cause he chose to bleed Let him die Die in agony Oh, let him die For it's his will He chose his own fate God is so far from us In the hour of distress
10.
Baby, love is blind As I saw you passing by You put a spell on me Don't reject me, love, give in You were made for me You can't run Oh, you can't hide I will follow you home tonight I will break into your heart I will make you love me Baby, love is blind Oh darling, selfish and unkind Oh please, let me love you Let me dry your crying eyes, yeah Oh please, let me hold you I will stay with you tonight You can't run Oh, you can't hide I will follow you home tonight I will break into your heart I will make you love me My love is blind
11.
Trust 02:19
You're a danger to me and and to others That's what we have in common, my dear You're a red light, but you're so addictive It's a mixture of passion and fear This is wildlife, a fight for survival But also the most intense romance I've had I can't help it, I have to approach you Even though you've got a knife behind your back Come on, kiss me now Come on, kiss me now Won't you kiss me now? Gimme your kiss, girl You're a treat for me You're a threat to me Baby, can't you see? I wanna trust you I wanna feel alive I wanna fall in love I wanna see your knife Show me your hands, girl You're a treat for me You're a threat to me Baby, can't you see? I wanna love you Oh, trust is so Oh, so hard to build And so easy to break Oh yeah But I wanna feel alive I wanna fall in love So let me see your knife Show me your hands, girl And just kiss me now Come on, kiss me now Won't you kiss me now? I wanna love you I want to feel alive I want to fall in love again So let me see your knife Play with open cards for once
12.
The reaper's after you, man You know that I'm right You can't escape your fate It will happen tonight A silver crucifix by your bed And you pray You promise to repent To change your depraved ways Yeah Oh, God won't answer you Nothing left to do Nothing left to say There's no other way Oh, accept your fate God only gives to take Your tragedy's the fate Of every man You will never feel or see The sun again Oh, no one's prepared For the hour of death, no But from dust we came And to dust we'll all go back Yeah Oh, God won't answer you Nothing left to do Nothing left to say There's no other way Oh, accept your fate Your time has come Oh, God won't answer you Nothing left to do Nothing left to say There's no other way The hour of your death Take your final breath Oh, God won't answer you He only gave you life To take it away again Accept your fate
13.
God is Dead 04:02
Your God is dead And we are doomed Nothing changed with the death of Christ No salvation No mercy from the skies Don't turn the other cheek No forgiveness And still we bleed in agony Nothing changed with the death of Christ No salvation No mercy from the skies Don't turn the other cheek, son The Devil shall guide your wrath No forgiveness No second chance Oh no Oh, we're gonna die Just like your God and your Christ 'Cause all is doomed Nothing changed with his sacrifice No salvation No mercy from the skies Don't turn the other cheek, son May the Devil guide your wrath No forgiveness No second chance Oh no Oh, we're gonna die alone And feed the flies
14.
Apocalypse 05:28
And upon the first horse A crowned rider 'bout to conquer Spreading plague and disease In the name of God On the second horse War himself armed with a great sword Taking peace from earth Spilling mortal blood Two seals open Five more to come Oh, the end has begun And upon the third horse With a pair of scales rides Famine Keeping women and men Away from wine and bread And behold, oh dear The fourth rider on his pale horse Our fate is sealed For his name is Death The stars are falling The moon's turning red And the sun's turning black Oh, the end's nigh, baby This world's about to burn Oh, can't you hear the trumpets? There's nothing to be done Armageddon, baby And now the pit is open Smoke's darkening the sun Oh yeah, the end has come
