1. Cold Black Piece Of Flesh 3:21
No more blood in me
Just a pitch-black oily stream
Pumped though my veins
By this cold black piece of flesh
Saw it coming all the way, I knew it, I knew it
The infection
I smelled it, my ugly sin
Ignorance to the hand
Who reached for me
Ignorance to the misery
Now I'm in
Ignorance to the cross
Where blood was shed
Ignorance to God
My ugly sin
The crippled me
Now yells to you
Heal my heart
Clean my blood
I crippled myself now for too long
My heart, my blood, my soul
I let the infection go on and on
Rip it out
Oh rip it out
Dear father take it out of me
Please get it out of me
And renew my heart within thee
2. Come Closer 4:06
Come closer now, closer to me
Set aside your anger, give it all to me
Won't let you down, I am with you
Even you child, I love you
You wanted to be free, to choose your own destiny
Call on the dark, keep it inside your heart
Call on the dark, until it tears you apart
You wanted to be free, to choose your own destiny
Come closer now, closer to me
Set aside your anger, give it all to me
Won't let you down, I am with you
Even you child, I love you
3. Existence 5:22
Existence
What is its purpose, what is the mind
Existence
What is it all about, who am I
Am I just copious amounts of flesh
Assembled by evolutions, curiosity
Are you just a fragment in my dreams
And your actions product of my imagination
By whom or what do we define our self image
Can we rely on the things we see and hear
How can we divide good and bad, right or wrong
Don't we all ask the same questions
Listen to me
Our insight is limited and limited is our mind
But where we are weak, God is the answer
His presence gives reasons to my existence
The strength of his affection restores my soul
His suffering is the source of my salvation
And to him shall go my praise
Lord help me to overcome
The boundaries/the limitations
The inner struggle/the inner suffering
You are real and so am I
4. Killing With Style 3:20
There is a line
We better not cross
A path we shall not choose
A man that we had to kill
A solemn tear of guilt
That we have shed
Gracious days we leave behind
Amusement was on our minds
The helping hand that we extended
Lead us the way to the promised land
5. Zustand Tod 6:40
6. Labyrinth 4:42
Trapped in this labyrinth
That we build ourselves
Cryptic writings on the wall
That meaning we'll never understand
Spoken words, broken promises, hollow phrases, empty hearts
Spoken words, broken promises, maniac laughter!
Closer than reality but stranger than fiction
Eternal darkness is to be, daylight transformation
Hear now my lost child
Ready for eternity?
There will be a timeless night
No rescue in wicked ideology
Take me there
To the place where I belong
No fear of the dark
But I prefer the warmth of the sun
7. Kill Me 2:23
So much anger against me
Still I stand
Unto my Savior you deny
You follow the lie
Here am I confronting you
With the truth you perverted
The puppet on a string is you
So go ahead like you desired
I am not afraid to die
Burn me, stab me, drown me, crucify me to death
You're the slave, not me
Slaved by the lie
You're the one who'll die
Dying for all eternity
The lie swallowed your soul
8. Psalm Of An Unborn 12:56
Out of deep darkness
I scream to you
Out of secret night
I implore with mortal fear
Lord hear my cry!
'Cause you Lord
Put the breath in my flesh
But now deadly terror
Lies like ice on me
They break through my mother's body
With implements, they try to catch my life
The burglars are standing
At the strongholds of the body!
Lord hear my cry!
Still I rest inside of who I never see
Still I wait once to see the light of the world
But now they ripped the net
Which I've been safely in
My life will only rest
A few seconds more
Then I will be shredded
Into pieces
And be whipped away
From the land of the living
I will have no grave
Will be thrown away
Nothing will be left of me
Only the sign of Cain on my brown
And in the hearts of my murderers
Out of deep darkness
I scream to you
Out of secret night
I implore with mortal fear
Lord you heard my cry!
Have mercy with me oh God
According to your unfailing love
According to your great compassion
Boot out my transgressions!
Wash away all my guilt
Clean me from my sin
Hide yours from my sins
And take away my mistakes
Create in me a clean heart oh God
And renew a steadfast spirit within me
Do not cast me from thy presence
Nor take thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation
And grant me a willing spirit
A willing spirit to sustain me
Save me from blood guiltiness
Oh God, you're the God who saves me
And my tongue will sing
Of your righteousness
Don't delight in sacrifice
Nor I would bring it
Don't delight in pleasures
Or burnt offerings
The sacrifice of God
Is a broken spirit
A broken and contrite heart
You my God will not despise
9. Paupers Grave 2:08
What can I do
To release my soul
From my faults
I know I can't make it
To face eternal light
By following their ways
Lord tell me why I'm so blind
Tell me nothing more but the truth
Reveal to me your majestic vision
Even if it turns for me to suffer
I will rather choose the paupers grave
In the shadow of your glorious throne
Than the place of the idle
Beneath your crushing feet
10. Vast 2:20
Felder, trockner boden
Nichts wächst mehr auf diesem soden
Es liegt was in der luft
Der verwesungs süßer duft
Ein einzuger turm bleibt bestehen
Als zeuge alles soll vergehn
The potency of hate
Opened the one way gate
To an impending fate
A fate you never guessed
For the fate was far too vast
Memories of the past
Fade at last
A broken shell so vast
A broken shell so vast
Fields of barren soil
Nothing left to spoil

BLACK LOTUS TRACKLIST
1. Canvas 3:35
My face the canvas for your vision of me
Happy smiley face, too weak for life itself
Corrupted superhuman hypocrite with a halo
Prisoner and hostage of its own faith
The vision distorted, not me at all
What you hate and fear projected on me
Lack of knowledge, lack of mind
Fearing I'd wipe the clouds from your eyes
I struggle, I fight, I fall, I bleed, but my soul is free
I suffer, I starve, I cry, I die, but my soul is free
Despair, one of my worst enemies
Brave enough to admit my human weakness
Prison, hostage and their guard I see too
Anxious to see how they're trying to get out
My scars are telling the story, I am human
Trying to survive this place, nothing else
Trying to survive this place, but not alone
Trying to hold my feet on the ground
(I am not alone)
I struggle, I fight, I fall, I bleed, by blood reality
I suffer, I starve, I cry, I die, but my soul is free
Smiley face protects me from killing
Fighting the infinite reasons to hate
Trying to survive this place everyday
Smiling face on the canvas survives
2. Towards The Edge Of Degeneration 4:00
Turn of a century
Everything is lost
The commercial breaks before the daily news
Invites "the truth of life" to us
No changes in crowds demands
Two millenniums later
Feeble mindness revolts
Keeping a record of bread and games
How dare to from children's mind
To that humanity learns from their mistakes
A formal defect
Believing into our ages standard
Their own ignorant presumption
What is perverted
A world that's suffering in the daily news
Or a bunch of idiots, watching the quote whores truth
No doubt, 'cause these are "soul touching problems"
In our "real" life
In our commercial breaks
3. I Am The Enemy 3:30
Bumbing in circles over and over
Sounds paradox, but that's how it is
For I'm spinning in circles and still
I am crushing at corners, my borders
My pain threshold, at myself
Over and over
I run, still I'm not moving
I breathe, still I suffocate
I parry, still I don't expect
I gave my heart, did I?
Crying, but tears ain't flowing
Screaming, silent I remain
Hiding, but still to be seen
Dying like an animal in his cage
Looked up, freezed up, walls that I can't climb up
Crashing against borders that I've been building up
Encircled by the stubbornness, my fake unconsciousness
And if I strip down to my bones, what do I have to see
I am the enemy
So now I am stranded and someone has to pay for this
Point me someone who's responsible, whom I can blame
Through all this shit the mirror shows, it shows me
I am the enemy
I am my own enemy
Looked up and freezed up, all that I've built up
Encircled by the stubbornness, my fake unconsciousness
And if I strip down to my bones, this is it in the end
Written on my face, I am the enemy
4. Pierced By Death 6:39
The dawn of your being
Is coming faster as you thought
It's melting away
It flows through your bleeding eyes
Once a castle, strong and proud
Now crushed to a ruin of fears
Your existence pierced by death
While it consumes your anguish
Your existence pierced by death
While it consumes your pain
Your existence pierced by death
While it consumes your grief
Fearful eyes, searching for support
As time goes by
Fearful eyes, a petition of mercy
As time goes by
Your existence pierced by death
While it eats the joy
Your existence pierced by death
While it eats the fortune
Your existence pierced by death
While it tears your soul to pieces
Fearful eyes are screaming to
As time goes by
Fearful eyes, a divided soul
As time comes to an end
5. Extinction Of Mankind 4:13
No relief, there is no way out
Of our breed, our breed to exist
Our image formed by our conceptions
In the past, simple origin to wipe out
The ideal mankind, a try that could fail
'Cause the extinction of mankind still creeps onward!
For vast dismembering no rescue
Physical mutations, a dreadful art
An insane philosophy of a thing that should not be
Genetical changes, a kind of playing god
To strive the model man is part of a condemn plan
Extinction of mankind
Overestimation of a dying race
Extinction of mankind
Was written for these who will fail
6. Shivering 5:02
Existence pushed to the lowest level
The freedom of spirit that last to remain...seemingly!
All principles sold, given up, for this state of mind
The life for what it is and never should be
Only a poor, sick brain and myself left to sell
Take it all, don't try to understand
The rest of what, the rest of what was good
You won't see, never destroy
And all around only agreement
To everything that means fun
Arguing only a foreign word
And I watch the coldness infecting me too
7. Tremendum 2:32
8. As Silence Dies 5:24
Silence from the first sparkle of the sun
Until the rising of the sun's own shadow
All painful noise just disappeared, faded to nothing
Swallowed by the silence that hides within me
Silence took over the control for a last try
To search for an escape of the rising abyss
I fall into something that kills me again
And I silence hide
My hideout, the sacred place of my soul
Now to be gone, now to be killed
Once again my silence rise, then fades and dies
Chained to the killing abyss with no options left
My silence screams as it has been bound
To all the sweet human abyss
That leads into this blackened dream
The blackened dream of pride, hatred and pain
And all what bounds to the abyss you can't escape
As my silence sees the truth, I ignore with human pride
My silence knows that I forgot to return to the place
Where I've been called by my name
A call that unchains my silence, makes me strong
Where I'm weak
The antidote to the venom of the night, it eats it all
And even now it would be too late, I let the silence be
9. Relativation Of Justice 3:17
Murderer arrested
Now gas will be wasted
This scum has to be removed
Die just for justice's proof
The fear on your face I see
This is how it has to be
The repentance you proclaim
Very funny, it's your game
Eye for an eye, so you have to die
Eye for an eye, society won't cry
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
You have to die by our truth
"In God we trust"? At least the dollar does
But dollar times are bound to pass
Who gave you the power to judge alone?
For my power I have already shown
For the victim's sake it was done
All that scum should be killed young
Obey the laws that have been created
Less gas has to be wasted
My power I have already shown
10. Of Traumatic Memories And Tears 3:34
Here I am, empty and sad
My withering life raped by a mood
Here I crouch with my aimless life
That's only a shadow of the past
Here I am, empty and weak
Lost my beliefs, I don't know why
You violated me, my aimless life is
Only a shadow of the past
You oppressed me, you raped me
You take all the love I've felt in life
You ignored me, betrayed me
And now you want to get rid of me
You slave the innocent
Raping their souls into unconsciousness
As if I haven't suffered enough
For all the human race
With all my wounds I will dry
Oceans of innocent blood and tears
Taking all of their burdens
The last victim should have been me
Raped by a disease of a human mood
I closed my eyes to handle the pain
And started to drift into a world
Of traumatic memories and tears
11. Nothing From You 4:17
I don't beg for your acceptance
I don't beg for your affection
I don't beg for a silent moment
Neither that you walk with me
I don't beg for your aggression
I don't beg for your void truth
I don't beg for a little help
Neither that you leave me alone
Like a seed I wish I could
Plant a thought into your heart
That you could see what I saw
Feel what I felt and die how I died
I don't beg that you die with me
I don't beg that you care about me
I don't beg that you read my mind
Neither that you burn YOUR mask
Blood all over me
Denied, betrayed and slaughtered
For nothing in return
Nothing you have, nothing that you can bring
Materialism ends
Nothing you can offer me weighs in on my sacrifice
Weights in on the pain that I've been through
Nothing
Like a seed I wish I could
Plant a thought into your heart
That you could see what I saw
Feel what I felt and die how I died
I don't beg that you die with me
I don't beg that you care about me
I don't beg that you read my mind
Neither that you burn YOUR mask
Like a seed I wish I could
Plant a thought into your heart
That you could see what I saw
Feel what I felt and die how I died

1. Heritage Of The Void 0:48
(Instrumental)
2. Trivial Coincidence 4:22
Out of a primal chaos
That was disgorged from the void
Unknown forces formed a new order
Which origin's impossible to define
Was it a trivial coincidence or volitional
Determination
What shaped this entity
Always in alteration
And still not done yet
What was once created
Will be annihilated by time
But will this be the end
Or start the process to ascend?
Eclipse the shine of stars
Becoming cosmic scars
They'll burn infernal
Not made for eternal
Beyond where it all comes from
There lies all or none
Of the truth we're believing
Or the lies we're not seeking
It's taking form
Apparent by plan
Or just a product
Of random Mayhem?
3. The Avowal Of The Centurion 5:59
I've taken this last breath and I've made my statement clear
This isn't the way my life is told
This isn't the truth to bear
I've walked through the valley of the shadow of death
The righteousness you know me for is a cataclysmic foregone conclusion
In the dark skies the fruit of redemption is in reach
Be willing to my impartial witness
Sealing the proofs of a concealing man as representative of his divinity
I've died more times than I can count
Still my blood is shed in the name of human flesh
My father will not concede the belief of human sacrifice as a will to forgiveness
Rising up with the intent of restoration
The fire and brimstone blast the chalice
From the heart of retribution
Try as I can my crucifixion cannot be entrusted
The will to a higher power has been rusted
I offered peace, hope, love and outreach
And was met with the blood moon of destruction
I have only one chance to make things right
I depended on my own creation to heed my call
In sanctus e Domina
My identity has been construed
You will all pay the price
Your will to live is left in vain
For you have defiled the Holy Spirit's name
You've taken my body and offered it as a martyr to the truth
The congregation of infidels will fall under the name as a false sleuth
4. Elysion 4:23
Red dyed rivers running
Across exploited ground
Towards the utopia of greed
To feed its heart to beat
Sucking dry resources and lives
With no guilt or regret
They condone a million sacrifices
To keep consumption with no end
But this is the price
We pay for this life
Parasites teeth
Are biting deep
Blood will flow
Through the veins of sorrow
They converge in an ocean of gore
Still hungry and craving for more
On a skull made isle there rise
Elysion nurtured from demise
Sucking far over the limit
It will come the day
Those bastards running out of prey
Their streams will turn dry
Initiate the end of lifeline
Structures of arrogance collapse
And bury the shopping-mad mass
Downfall
Desiccated rivers
Across exploited ground
Failed to feed its heart to beat
Sucked empty the source of its life
With no foresight or regret
They condone themselves as sacrifice
Just to consume till the end
Running on empty in an ocean of crust
Destroyed by their hunger and lust
On a skull made isle there fall
Elysion's blood-painted walls
5. Eternal Shores Of Tranquility 3:57
Remember me with smile not tears
For all the joy through all the years
Even though I had to leave our journey remains
Now I lie on eternal shores of tranquility
Don't dwell on though that cause you pain
'Cause my heart still belongs to you
I can hear serenity a stone I beat in affinity
Feel the essence shown beauty has been known
Forever free
My call was made
I will wait for you eternally
I follow you throughout the day
You're not alone along the way
And when God calls you
You will be
Right by my side
Right here with me
Comfort forever
The beast endeavor
We are united
Eternally!
6. White Throne (Vengeance Rising cover) 3:13
Mid, post, pre-tribulation that will not matter here
Pre, post or a-millenial, the stand will fall to tears
To cause division for the things that will not obtain
The righteousness of God, imputed by His name
There will be nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
At the great white throne
So now's the time to die
To turn the grace of God into licentiousness
To teach false doctrine based upon presupposition myths
Therefore repent or this is what you'll get
Torment forever in the eternal fire pit (lake)
Are you listening (not just hearing) to what I say?
Oblivion (album, March 10, 2023, Nordic Mission) (CD, Digital)
1. Annihilated 5:46
Trapped in between the gears of war
The battle rages on forever more
In absence of sanity
They sealed the last days of humanity
Spreading amok worldwide
Condone the great homicide
Their fire will devour the world
Until everything is burnt
See the world dying
For their hunger for might
See their purifying
Of all wisdom that could guide
This war for nothing
Will bring the end of days
All life will perish and decay
The world is fated
To be annihilated
Grinded between the gears of War
Floating in oceans of gore
Fucked up the rest of sanity
So will be humanity
The inferno's worldwide
Bringing mankind's suicide
The hate will devour the world
While all rationality is spurned
See the world dying
For their hunger for might
See their purifying
Of all wisdom that could guide
This war for nothing
Will bring the end of days
All life will perish and decay
The world is fated
To be annihilated
Annihilated
Annihilated
Annihilated
Dead inside the gears of war
There will be nothing more
The downfall of sanity
Brought the end of humanity
Ashes cover the earth worldwide
The remains of the last genocide
Nothing left of the world
All what was is burnt
Saw the world dying
For their hunger for might
Saw their purifying
Of all wisdom that could have guide
This war for nothing
Will bring the end of days
All life will perish and decay
The world is fated
To be annihilated
Annihilated
Annihilated
Annihilated
2. Martyrium 3:12
3. From Above 4:08
Buried all virtues
Thrown away like trash
In a hellhole only dug for lust
In absence of any disgust
What once was pure
Became a breeding ground of sin
The only cure
Was the extinction
The rain of fire and death
Fell and burnt all stone and flesh
Wiped out the wickedness within
The hearts soaked with sin
Blinded like vanity
To be godlike
Drowned in wealth
But never satisfied
Infected with wrath
And guided by envy
Celebrated gluttony
While rotted in sloth
The rain of fire and death
Fell and burnt all stone and flesh
Wiped out the wickedness within
The hearts soaked with sin
Pleasure and consumption
In endless excess
No feeling of regret
Provoked the cruel end
Driven by carnal desire
Craved to violate the flesh
Of the innocent and angels
Treated them like trash
Summoned by malice
The rage from above
The sky shouted from its mouth
The sentence out loud
The sentence out loud
Sulfur and fire
Devoured all life
Wrecked all civilization
Nothing survived
The breeding ground of sin
Cleansed by extinction
This was the price
For a life in vice
The rain of fire and death
Fell and burnt all stone and flesh
Wiped out the wickedness within
The hearts soaked with sin
The rain of death and fire
Erased the empire
The rain of death and fire
Erased the empire
Of sin
4. Born Guilty 4:50
5. Where All Prayers Fail 1:52
6. Eye For An Eye 4:17
The green mile lies ahead
The bridge from life into death
Towards the execution
That shall bring absolution
Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign
Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign
Eye for an eye
Will turn the whole world blind
Won't make the past undone
And never let salvation come
Seeds of hate cultivated
From an unfair world that created
A being corrupted and grim
Replies the agony which made him
"We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
Greed has poisoned men's souls
Has barricaded the world with hate
Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
To those who can hear me, I say do not despair
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators and the tyranny will fall"
The last mile lies ahead
The bridge from life into death
Towards the execution
That shall bring absolution
Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign
Fight fire with fire
Pay back pain with pain
Lust for vengeance as desire
Let justice reign
Eye for an eye
Will turn the whole world blind
Won't make the past undone
And never let salvation come
Eye for an eye
Will turn the whole world blind
Won't make the past undone
And never let healing come
"In the 17th Chapter of St. Luke it is written
'The Kingdom of God is within man'
Not one man nor a group of men
But in all men!
In you!"
Hate never ends hate
