No Imaginary Friend A disease for the brain Infected with intelligence bane Man-made and it’s creating the end You let it in it’s the end of reason The evidence you present Are mere words, tall tales, myths and legends A burning bush, a talking snake Is it even up for debate? Dare to question all authority Proclaim the end of divinity Distance yourself from the lies Commence your one and only life I don’t belive your fallacy Delusions of your mind I don’t need one. Neither should you No imaginary friend Manufactured deceits A broken record on endless repeat Faith provides no answers But offers false consultation You live life dying for paradise But in the end its easy to see So much for your spirituality When you’re rotting in the ground next to me Question all authority Proclaim the end of divinity Distance yourself from the lies Commence your one and only life I don’t belive your fallacy Delusions of your mind I don’t need one. Neither should you No imaginary friend

Straightjacket Solution Compulsory care being held in the asylum Just because I don’t fit in Force medicated and strapped down with laces I scream but no one hears my plea No matter what I say you turn it against me Inhuman treatments. Am I the one insane? Who examines the doctors? Bound by a straightjacket I’m examined by myopic minds Trying to cure my insanity Diagnosing me The same outcome every time Straightjacket solution Repeating the procedure over and over Until my mind starts to collapse Forcing me to confess my heresy Until I plead insanity No matter what I say you turn it against me Inhuman treatments. Am I the one insane? Who examines the doctors? Bound by a straightjacket I’m examined by myopic minds Trying to cure my insanity Diagnosing me The same outcome every time Straightjacket solution Refurnish my brain Refurnish my brain

The Certain Road To Insanity On Your knees demands the priest Yet all is equal in the eye All he wants is your submission Bow down Infant child on the altar To be lead into the light Free her soul with holy water Why? Mired in shame and guilt You join the filth For whatever reason The warning signals Should have appeared On a way train Going nowhere fast Destination is at hand Ignore the warnings along the way Leading you into The certain road to insanity Idiocy or hypocrisy You be the judge You refuse to see When You’re this close To insanity Open wide and swallow the lie Digest it as your mind subsides Brain flat-line. Activity zero Insane Mired in shame and guilt You join the filth For whatever reason The warning signals Should have appeared On a way train Going nowhere fast Destination is at hand Ignore the warnings along the way Leading you into The certain road to insanity

In Death We Unite This hate burns so deep In the heart of man The nature of our being Desolates the lands That’s the way we are, we’ll never change How can we live with ourselves? Spewing our infectious hatred And hating all life In life we despise All the living things we are surrounded by Killing without hesitation All who stands in our way The tragedy of humanity Please take my life In life we despise All the living things we are surrounded by In death we unite In our final breath We’re all connected in death Jaundiced and virulent Is the path of man No one is born with hate We are raised to learn We’re not so different from each other We are all brothers At least in death we’re one and same Why not so in life? In life we despise All the living things we are surrounded by In death we unite In our final breath We’re all connected in death

Incompatible Coexistence Growing stronger, growing weaker I feed on my own remains Losing strength to myself I suck the life from my soul I cry for help with a smile I stab the knife with my hand in my back Incompatible coexistence One is dying for one to live Losing strength by the hour And getting stronger all the while I’m full of life, I’m suicidal Contradictive. I got to die to live my life Parasite inside of me. It grows It won’t be suppressed now It’s spiraling out of control I’m never alone Standing tall, feeling small I’m the vermin above you all Victory is within my grasp Still far outside my reach I wage a war with myself Death in victorious defeat Incompatible coexistence One is dying for one to live Losing strength by the hour And getting stronger all the while I’m full of life, I’m suicidal Contradictive. I got to die to live my life Parasite inside of me. It grows In complete control now I’m waging a war for my soul My life and bane is one and same Parasite inside of me. It grows It won’t be suppressed now It’s spiraling out of control I’m finally alone Forever alone

When Feeding The Divine It’s just a lie. Nothing is real Erase the foundation on which it is built You live in fear of unforgiving Gods Controlled by the shepherd to crawl in the dirt It shackles your mind Restrained mental capacity When feeding the divine You will never be free I am my own God The only one I ever need I will stand by my side Follow my lead Why must we bleed For this presence of anonymity Convinced you gladly die for the creed As you level up in stupidity It shackles your mind Restrained mental capacity When feeding the divine You will never be free I am my own God The only one I ever need I will stand by my side Follow my lead Are you willing to die for an unseen God? Wouldn’t you rather live a life Free from sin? Free from religion? I am my own God The only one I ever need I will stand by my side Follow my lead

Sane In An Insane World I woke up from a dream While you were still asleep But my voice got to loud Tied me down to a bed And locked me in a cell To be dead to the world outside Sane in an insane world You probe my thoughts And force your beliefs upon me So I can fit in the norm Sign me up for a voluntary lobotomy Turn off the life support Define insane, am I to blame For having no imaginary friend To hold my hand No voices in my head is heard You’re telling me that I’m disturbed And I’m not God’s lamb Sane in an insane world Crazy is just a made up word No one understands my brain So you choose to call me insane Force-fed with your beliefs I turn to apathy You preach for deaf ears I’d rather stay here in this Mental institution You can never enslave my mind Define insane, am I to blame For having no imaginary friend To hold my hand In possess of sanity I proclaim impiety Never become the lamb Sane in an insane world Crazy is just a made up word No one understands my brain So you choose to call me insane

The Ladder 03:53
The Ladder Lately I’ve been having visions Of Demons terrorizing me Following my every move Are they real? Am I insane? But I’m not the only one To live this frightening dream Got to make them go away Or they will do us in What went wrong that day in “Nam”? We’ve got no memory Strongest drug known to man Causing our insanity On the ladder we fought our brothers On the ladder we killed our friends The most frightening thing about this nightmare Is that we’re not dreaming Fever spreading through my body Passing the boiling point As my mind drifts away My body burns with ice Lost in a nightmare or awake? But I can not leave What is real? Am I in hell? Am I even alive? What went wrong that day in “Nam”? What have they done to us? Strongest drug known to man Causing our insanity On the ladder we fought our brothers On the ladder we killed our friends The most frightening thing about this nightmare Is that we’re not dreaming What went wrong that day in “Nam”? We’ll never be the same Strongest drug known to man Causing our insanity

Atomvinternatt Solen försvann bakom radioaktivt damm Himlen blev svart. Atomvinternatt Långt borta i fjärran Östern Nånstans i ett annat land Där sitter en man och funderar Med ett fotografi i sin hand En bild av hans enda dotter Ett vackert och oskyldigt barn Det var länge sen hon lämnade jorden Men hans kärlek, den finns ännu kvar Hans hud är sargad och ärrig Hans kropp är gammal och klen Men han minns ännu den dagen Deras ögon mötte dödens sken Solen försvann bakom radioaktivt damm Himlen blev svart. Atomvinternatt Marken rasade under deras fötter Trycket blåste bort deras hus Tiotusentals människor blev blinda När dom såg in i bombens ljus Sen dess är inget detsamma Folk tänker inte längre som förut Man har insett att människans dumhet Kan orsaka jordens slut Så han sitter där och funderar Med sin dotters bild i sin hand Varje dag ser han solen gå ner I hans hemstad Hiroshimas strand Solen försvann bakom radioaktivt damm Himlen blev svart. Atomvinternatt I en obeskrivlig hetta Simmade allt i ett hav utav blod Ett inferno av rök och eld Där vackra byggnader en gång stod Han försöker att glömma Atombombens tillkomst i historien Men han kan bara önska Att det aldrig nånsin får hända igen

The Sinister Lullaby Lights out time for bed I tell you stories and fill your head A lullaby of famine and bloodshed Horrific visions disturbs your sleep But you’re not dreaming, you’re wide awake Envisage your nightmares come alive Lights out rest your head Fall asleep and wake up dead Never mind the demons under your bed God night sleep tight Flesh wounds when the bed bugs bite Suffocating anxiety is upon you tonight I tuck you in and make you dream whilst my lullaby still rings A song of hell and the cenobites Coming for you tonight Close your eyes and listen child To my sinister lullaby Of all the things that will make you cry The tears will fall The screams will rise No happy ending comes tonight In the Sinister lullaby Lights out dry your tears Time to sleep and face your fears My lullaby still lingers in your ears Heavy eyes the Sandman comes Unwillingy into sleep you succumb Dream if you dare They’re waiting in your nightmare Close your eyes and listen child To my sinister lullaby Of all the things that will make you cry The tears will fall The screams will rise No happy ending comes tonight In the Sinister lullaby Lights out
