No Return 05:02
Your flesh is weak, your soul is lost With your life you’ll maybe pay this cost World of sickness and obscurity You live your life of abnormities Prepossession of your own is only pretence Mental derangement, you lose all your senses You are dead before you die But don’t even mind it you fool (Solo: Chris) You see no way out, try to escape Hopeless walking through a time of hate Inner feelings of emptiness Our planet has changed into a place without all grace What has happened to the good old human race I hope you’ll see that there is no return (Solo: Robert) In your hand is the injection of death You push it in your arm, it crawls through your veins Wonderful dreams at the moment distract you at your innermost part from the fact The felicity, the immortality Things that are not real, they are captured in your brain I hope you’ll see that there is no return You are dead before you die

Taciturnity 04:42
Now you are at the end of your life Twisting your mind in the false direction A kind of revenge for broken hope See what they have done to you Now you are at the end of your life and tolerance for human beings There was no time to think about this bloody vicious circle The possibility to seek refuge in death Nebulosity in your awful life Taciturnity …the silent way to die They don’t know how you had beloved in life and freedom and in all your dreams They won’t remain your existence, mercy killing was your own mistake Maybe you will get a new chance on our earth It will be the last one (Solo: Chris - Robert - Chris)
3.
Moments of scorn Torn inside, torn between hope and despair I don’t know the reasons why I try to escape into this world of retirement Darkness all around Rejection of my own scared frightened hate and anger deep inside I don’t know if I will win this fight For my mind it’s too late Time passes by, I’m getting old Souldestroying, depressed No more feelings and perceptions Insurrection of body and soul I’m not innocent and I know I was a fool Times of luck and glory, where are all of my dreams Nobody tries to find me and I’m blind to see My future seems to be black for all eternity The whole of my existence and the dignity will fade like an elegy (Solo: Robert - Chris) Impatience and the negation against living in such a human society Seclusion and loneliness of my own, I want to cry There are no tears but there is blood coming out of my eyes Moments of scorn
4.
Is this fiction or is this real, no graciousness They didn’t feel the pain in their both sickful brains Exemption of their bloody chains Down on the street something is going on Silent and strange the atmosphere is getting impenetrable Hate is uncontrolled The only lights are just behind those walls Unrecognizable parts are killed and dismembered in hate Let’s break down those walls of this house of horror Nine lives are gone, what will be tomorrow (Solo: Chris) So full of hate, feel just this bitterness So deep inside, the animosity Pacification of their own is still the prophecy they just want to have fulfilled Unrecognizable parts are killed and dismembered in hate They offer resistance and want to flee but it is so merciless The victims of sorrow are gonna be tormented in such an awful way Salvation picked up their victims for their games in the streets The terror and disgrace reflected in their faces Subsided into hate forever it will be their fate Merciless …tormented in such an awful way Merciless …dead corpses everywhere Blood, broken bones No feelings anywhere what's going on (Solo: Robert - Chris)

Now you are at the end of your life Twisting your mind in the false direction A kind of revenge for broken hope See what they have done to you Now you are at the end of your life and tolerance for human beings There was no time to think about this bloody vicious circle The possibility to seek refuge in death Nebulosity in your awful life Taciturnity …the silent way to die They don’t know how you had beloved in life and freedom and in all your dreams They won’t remain your existence, mercy killing was your own mistake Maybe you will get a new chance on our earth It will be the last one (Solo: Chris - Robert - Chris)
6.
Human reign has come to an end Now we have the last of our rainbows Confess your sins Beware, eternal damnation nightmare in a time where nobody cares for the others Disarrayment everywhere, condemnation and impiety Merciless - The have burned you in effigy Dark clouds of depravity seem to be much longer here on earth Merciless - The have burned you in effigy The purpose of your life is not to be foreseen (Solo: Chris) Look at the hole in the picture of your future What shall we do to protect ourselves now Endless lies Anxiety (Solo: Chris) Confess your sins Beware, eternal damnation (Solo: Chris - Robert - Chris - Robert)
7.
Fortress of our own life - disorder of reality Meaning of our own life subsides in remains Time has come now to face disorder of reality It’s the last chance for us to survive Existential visions, the prophecy of sudden fear is done Subjection of reality, what is the purpose for disorder Condemnation is gone, disorder of reality Through falseness and fear, this is the world of the unbeliever Never shed a tear for the regime of the unbeliever Everything seems to be right not wrong It’s a vision thing, subjection of reality Nobody is able to fight against law and order Disorder of reality This is not a real thing, it will be unseen Seems to be eternal, just try to remain For your life it will be better to be honest Find your truth in this awful pure reality Disintegration (Solo: Dodo - Chris) Don’t tell us how (we will not obey) we have to live and in what we have to believe Don’t show us how (we will not obey) we have to think, don’t give a preconceived idea
8.
Abnormity will be unseen in reality The blackness in the depths of despair (Solo: Chris) Hopelessness in horrible dimensions Imbalance of unnamed feelings Dismally times Impressions and ideas of a better world Now they are falling into oblivion Sense of frustration, it’s the opacity Devoid of feeling, devoid of feeling in the form of destination and depravity Moments of harmony forever gone Unconscious acting in tranquillity, devoid of feeling, (Solo: Chris) Devoid of feeling it’s for real Profanation of our faith Times of bloodshed and disgrace, obedience and vanity (Solo: Chris) The fatality of life, the blindness of our eyes, degraded inhuman loneliness Endless despair and confusion
