1. Serpent Temptation 3:27
The human race started with Adam and Eve
They lived in a world where they were free
So listen and beware that this is Hell
'Cos they ate the fruit from the tree
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
When Satan took a serpent form
The couple's destiny was then traced
Leaving God's wrath frustrated
They couldn't resist the serpent temptation
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
We now live in a world of civilization
We're still affected by the serpent temptation
Technology won't help you to get salvation
The devil doomed God's creation
So let's destroy the devil's fucking nation
2. Sadistic Sinner 4:21
Alone in my house
Full of hate and fear
Your death is near
My passion for killing will take you to death
I slay a victim, I torture his wife
They die by my knife
I'm coming for you
So take your last breath
The more I kill, the more the need grows
I dislodge the eyes and hack off the nose
I'm a sadistic sinner
I will slash you at will
It is the devil inside me
Who makes me wanna kill
Evil
And you will die by my hand
Killer
And I'll make you understand
Possessed
Just like the knife in my hand
Killer
He taunts my soul and he twists my mind
The blood of my victims is all they can find
I dismember the body as its blood is being sprayed
I gaze in splendor at the mess I have made
Cold is the blade
I carry in rage
They live in fear
My passion for killing will take you to death
My soul is a demon that no one can save
I spread my disease
I'm coming for you
So take your last breath
The more I kill, the more the need grows
I dislodge the eyes and hack off the nose
I'm a sadistic sinner
I will slash you at will
It is the devil inside me
Who makes me wanna kill
I'm
Sadistic
Sinner
I'll kill you slow, I'll kill you fast
I'm coming for you, I'll kick your ass
3. Voices From The Grave 3:01
Mesmerizing sounds I hear telling me to kill
Telling me submit to the power
Demonic overtones I fear stealing my freewill
I am now the man of the hour
Controlling all my thoughts, now I don't know
Right from wrong, there is no hope for escape
Stung by wicked words as the silence
Speaks to me, there is no hope for escape
Voices from the grave
Telling me to sin
My soul is what they crave
Killing me within
Disembodied spirits near pervading through my soul
Getting harder to live in this Hell
Angry voices loud and clear, now they take control
Now they leave me just an empty shell
Controlling all my thoughts, now I don't know
Right from wrong, there is no hope for escape
Stung by wicked words as the silence
Speaks to me, there is no hope for escape
Voices from the grave
Telling me to sin
My soul is what they crave
Killing me within
Nothing to do but heed to their word
And live to their every command
All of my thoughts are sacrificial
And used for their violent plans
Mustering strength to fight the attack
Released from a hypnotic state
I drop to my knees and pray to the Lord
To save me from my evil fate
Screaming in pain I'm thrown to the floor
And grabbed by their arms of control
The powers of evil, the powers of good
Are fighting for my weakened soul
A winner emerges, darkness prevails
No future's in sight for me
Can't take the pain darkness delivers
Dying will set me free
Clenching the gun, sweating in fear
Knowing the end is surely near
Pulling the trigger, launching death
Evil inside me, gasping breath
Lifeless pile dead and gone
Evil around me still lives on
Lesson in life, the road is paved
Follow God and you'll be saved
Beware of voices from the grave
4. Incubus 3:57
When our powerful structure creates sound
The walls of the hall start coming down
You're thrashing and slamming like there's no end
The mob starts to get out of hand
Distorted sound goes through your ears
The pounding of the bass creates fear
You stop and breathe when we slow down
You have no chance 'coz our drummer's not fucking around
Now you're gonna have this torment
For the rest of your life
No peace, no chance, no sleep day or night
We're coming through your nightmare, you will see
So be ready to meet the power of...
Incubus
Incubus
Incubus
You are the victim, because you betray us
You've got no place to hide
You can't destroy us, we'll crank the decibel high
Our sound can never die! Die! Die!
The mission's not over
Preparing for your destruction
We'll thrash you with all emotion
You're running out of time
There's nothing you can do
We're taking your breath from you
Nothing you can do, take your breath from you
We'll smash your skull
Came from the word
Only one word
Came from the sound of Incubus

Religious ones
Protected by the words of Christ
Militant atheists
Destroying the ones that are unsafe
With evil powers
They are pestilenting
The human race

Spirits of damnation
Who wander throughout the world
Trying to destroy us before Armageddon

Because he knows the Son of Man is near
Don't be afraid, Jesus Christ will be here
The end is near

Of the prophecies
Deads and alives shall be judged
By all holy forces
Sinners will be Satan's wrath

Trying to destroy us before Armageddon

16. Blaspheming Prophets 5:19
Modern world men
Blinded by technology
Using the Lord's words
For their own material needs
Stealing the goods
From the faithful ones
Evangelists in suits
Dominating their thoughts
And souls thrown in blasphemy
They don't know about the truth
But they try to convince you
I wonder how God can resist
Using his words like this
Speaking the holy words
But in a different way, in terror
They teach 'em not to be saved
But leading them to an error, leaving 'em unsafe
Malignant force are speaking
Through the false prophets
They don't know that an evil spirit
Can take a preacher's soul
A fucking organization determined to rule the world
Preparing those for their supreme evil one
Ask for good help, now
Before it's too late, you all
After they steal your soul they even take your money away
Trying to put all other religion down
Like if them all was in vain
Satan is draining their souls
And they can't feel it
They are all blind now
'Cos they left their true religion
Each day their legion
Is growing more and stronger
Pretty soon there'll be
No one left to survive
Innocent people looking for guidance
They don't know who they're messing with
I wonder how God can resist
Using his words like this
Taking the Bible to make a profit
They can't escape from the blaspheming prophets
17. Hunger For Power 5:25
Rational human beings irrational in other ways
Betraying each other in an unfriendly race
All they do is think for themselves
Ask them for some help and they'll tell you to go to Hell
Welcome to the brutal world
Vehemence, the way it goes
Rejoicing for the disgrace of the successful one
The jealousy is the weapon of the incompetent bum
So if you think you've got your best friend
You better look back, you never know what he might do next
The anger is built in silence
It's gonna cause some ignorant violence
That's a goal rule number one
To achieve in command
What they've done in the past
You're gonna let 'em pay back
I wonder why you do to others
What you don't want them doing to you
If prejudice has a value in life
Evil would rule you too
Remember for all the bad things you commit
You're gonna pay with the same coin, you damn fool
Breaking the barrier between patience and rage
That are controlling you
Now you're feeling what your best friend was going through
That's the way the circle of life
Has been for many years ago people are so greedy
When they're in trouble, they look for you
You can't lose this society battle
Evil plans are coming to your mind
To fight back, a sabotage
That has happened many times
Hunger for power
When you die
All you have
Won't go with you
Hunger for power
Stupid fight
You better stand straight
Or you might fall
Hunger for power
You'll never know
What might happen
To us all
Hunger for power
When you die
All you have
Won't go with you
18. Serpent Temptation 3:32
The human race started with Adam and Eve
They lived in a world where they were free
So listen and beware that this is Hell
'Cos they ate the fruit from the tree
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
When Satan took a serpent form
The couple's destiny was then traced
Leaving God's wrath frustrated
They couldn't resist the serpent temptation
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
Mighty force

We now live in a world of civilization

The devil doomed God's creation
So let's destroy the devil's fucking nation
19. Underground Killers 4:36
They kill for a reason
They'll strike anyone
Doesn't matter how old or young
Pay 'em big cash, they'll give 'em a slash
Explain how it should be done
A shot in the head
The man cut in half
Tortured 'till death
You'll never see him back
Underground killers
They are everywhere
Killing for money
They don't care
Leaving their victims covered with blood
Underground killers
Will make a mess
Whose killing plans have been set
Murdering their victims without mercy
They promise to make it worse
Tell 'em their next mission
And they'll give 'em death
Burn him alive
A high voltage jolt
A stab in the back
They promise you'll see him dead
Slay the victim to death
Dead bodies everywhere
Brutality is their authority
Killers are not afraid of death
Underground killers
They are everywhere
Killing for money
They don't care
Leaving their victims covered with blood
Underground killers
Will make a mess
Whose killing plans have been set
Murdering their victims without mercy
They promise to make it worse
More massacre for the long future generation
Their customers are the only police source of information
You've paid 'em in full
For the dirty job they've done
Now you must die
Like the other ones

2. Voices From The Grave 3:20
Mesmerizing sounds I hear telling me to kill

I am now the man of the hour
Controlling all my thoughts, now I don't know

1. Certain Accuracy 5:36
Technology
Inventions that shine
Only hope and thoughts that reflects in our minds
Manmade machineries
Futuristic and advanced devices
Trying to get it right every time
Not accepting the pain of failure
When back to the starting point again they will try
A first, second and third time
To a certain accuracy that is absurd
Creations that can bring us to an end
In different ways
Religion and politics are all overrated
Like many things in life
A human will never be able to control those situations
Whatever mankind does and builds to serve
And protect us might also send us to our graves
Our ways to fatal errors
With no turning back
With or without confidence
And also preparing for whatever might go wrong
Discovering is a hard task to face
And finding the solution is what instinctively does our face
Until the world reaches to a higher ground
With anxiety, sorrow and pain
Creation for both uses to whom it may seem
That it can be right or wrong
Human imperfections and method of corrections
A natural reaction from the past until now days
An endless cycle that goes on
A first, second and third time
To a certain accuracy that is absurd
In all the existing things in this world
Men will never achieve the degree of perfection
That they search for
2. The Deceived Ones 3:26
Bowing down to an angel cast out by God
Worshipping a deceitful enemy
Who's laughing at their pride in following him?
Considering everyone to be merely human pigs
Under his cunning and evil eyes
A multitude is in total chaos
Knowing not the deceived ones that they are
Asking for power, richness and desire
The price that they must pay
Is their souls thrown into a cauldron of fire
By being weak and blind
The fools disrespect the Christian houses of God
They are the opposite of all that is holy
Locked in cages of sins
How can they reject the creator of all living things?
The almighty God hears the prayers from holy priests
And Christians alike, forgiveness for them is at hand
But curses shall fall upon those that refuse to repent
God's only begotten Son was scourged, mocked and put
To death and resurrected on the third day
Proved his powers to demonstrate
How goodness always prevails
Followers of damnation march on in their darkest ways
Falling to see and admit the truth that Christ left for us today
A multitude is in total chaos
Knowing not the deceived ones that they are
3. Curse Of The Damned Cities 5:39
Hades on the Earth
Condemned cities from evil populations
Violence, fatal crimes
Chaos will lead us to destruction
The streets lost its freedom to be crossed
Imprisonment at any time
When darkness takes its proper place
Fear closing in
When the scenes terrorize honest citizens
Disgust multiplies
Serious acts committed every day
Fighting to survive in this labyrinth of stone and steel
Always unaware when and where the assault can actually occur
Curse of the damned cities, crucial habitats
Following the way of criminal instincts
Curse of the damned cities, unrighteous dwelling
Decaying towards its uncontrollable destiny
Dreams of a civilization of peace and harmony lies far away
Are you alone in this fight to correct those corrupted societies?
Justice is a word that is fading real fast
Guilty running free as the victims are suffering
From the fact that there is no escape
Feeling that their security is not strong enough yet
Thefts, rapes, murders growing to a numerous rate
We never seem to learn that this is an endless war
Is the economy provoking it?
Or is it just the ignorant side of a human being?
Evil suppress intermittently every line, haunting frequently
The streets are the battlefield to those individual warriors
Where each other in a conventional war
Mandatory action of survival
Curse of the damned cities, crucial habitats
Following the way of criminal instincts
Curse of the damned cities, unrighteous dwelling
Decaying towards its uncontrollable destiny
Brutality growing, it never stops
For centuries it seems to be getting worse
Harshly tumultuous mobs
Is home a safe place?
If now the danger is spreading across the land
Like an epidemic without any cure
We will never learn from our mistakes
The more we stop, the more will emerge
The experiences are the lesson to make us fear
Curse of the damned cities, crucial habitats
Following the way of criminal instincts
Curse of the damned cities, unrighteous dwelling
Decaying towards its uncontrollable destiny
4. Beyond The Unknown 4:31
Perfect night, the moon shines bright
But covered with blood because this is an evil night
Calls for a sign is what the invokers are meditating
The souls from beyond are hearing them calling
Moving objects, sinister sounds in the air
Nerves tense, hands holding tight
You can feel it answering everywhere
The seekers are happy thinking that they are hearing
The voice from their loved one
Beyond the unknown
Powerful specter closing in
Is it a dream or is it true?
Beyond the unknown
Communication begun thru the incarnated body of the spiritual leader
Questions are asked, answer correct
But they don't know the real horrors behind the spirit of the dead
Ceremony is over now
Relatives left in satisfaction
Knowing that he's resting in eternal peace
Days have passed, then there was a knocking at the door
Live in the flesh, the missing one that they thought was dead
Memories coming back realizing what they have heard
Was nothing but a malignant force telling them nothing but lies
Beyond the unknown
Powerful specter closing in
Is it a dream or is it true?
Beyond the unknown
5. Freezing Torment 5:05
Peaceful mission thru the air
Suddenly caught unaware
Panic rises, lives in despair
Fasten the seat belts, praying to survive
All the memories of their lives
Flashes thru their minds
As the emergency landing is occurring at the time
To the cold, white deserted ground
Shock occurs in the violent crash
It's a morbid nightmare
Bodies torn to an unnatural position
Mutilated until unrecognizable form
Survivors trapped
Afflicted pain of body and mind
Screaming for help
Undergoing tremendous feelings of death
Agony
Misfortunate
Misery
Tragedy
Torment
It all adds to an unpleasant destiny
Days passed
Injured ones dying fast
Marsh temperatures
The whips of cold winds
Are frosting their bodies on the attack
Feeling the rigor mortis stage alive
Reaching to the ultimate muscular paralysis
Famish
Extreme hunger
Nourishment supplies ran out
Organism weakens each moment
Cannibalistic action the only way
Crying to God for forgiveness
As the slices of flesh are being devoured
From the dead corpses
There's no choice, either choose life or death
Lowering themselves to a point
They would never thought to get
A living inferno where rational thoughts became repulsive
A place where the living needed the dead
Shocked by the scars of terror
A memory that they will never forget
For the victims of the freezing torment
6. Massacre Of The Unborn 4:59
No survive!
Unborn child
Cut to pieces
Left without a name
Unwanted because of the problems of humanity
Unspeakable crime
Silent war is the name of the game
Millions are dying in actions of death and pain
Misguided mothers make this happen
Sometimes for a financial situation or a sexual mistake
Massacre of the unborn
Massacre of the unborn
Massacre of the unborn child!
Innocent blood cries in vain
Defenseless lives are slaughtered everyday
They should make a law against this insanity
Unborn corpses are growing in extreme quantity
Premature stage
Slowly destroyed by the human race
Tortured by tyrants
Unjustly demise
Infant children are left to die
Just innocent lives they slay
There is no chance to escape
Murdering is the matter of this case
A merciless torture to take
No one will live, because they won't survive
There's infant dying
Can't you see that they will not have a chance
Of growing up in this life?
Massacre of the unborn
Massacre of the unborn
Massacre of the unborn child!
7. On The Burial Ground 6:11
Die by violence in this world is nothing strange for us
With all those chemicals, wars and destructions
We do not know Mother Nature has in store for us
The race for economy makes people forget
The lives around this planet as men become more egoist
Pretty soon there will be nothing in this world for men to spare
Stupidity, causing pain and sickness
To our world
Suffer!
On the burial ground is what this planet is all about
It's where we are right now
We might not have any future to be found
On this burial ground we have nowhere to hide
Death is laughing at our cries
And now we are feeling the effects
That the force of nature has brought
The droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
It's getting worse than even before
We can see the revenge of this planet upon us
As we keep hurting the sea, the soil and the air
Sometimes some catastrophic accidents happen
Causing death rate and we wonder from where
People are dying in civilization of different lands
Because of the drought, occurrences of flooding everywhere
Killing innocent people and leaving others in despair
Abomination because people fear that all these events
Happen without any warning killing unexpectedly
Men subjugate the forces of nature
But we don't know that it's destroying us slowly
The animals are becoming extinct
Seas and rivers polluted by toxic waste, combustible smoke
Factories are creating acid rains that is burning our skins
Damaging plantations and soon it will bring us to death
Air pollution is disintegrating our atmosphere
Allowing the ultraviolet rays to burn the earth and to provoke us fear
On the burial ground is what this planet is all about
It's where we are right now
We might not have any future to be found
On this burial ground we have nowhere to hide
Death is laughing at our cries
Soon some of the lives on this planet won't exist anymore
Because we won't be able to recreate some of the beauty that we had before
Nobody seems to care about the future of our children's civilizations
We better act now so they won't have a life of torment and frustration
Stupidity, causing pain
Punishment for violating
The ecologic balance
Suffer!
On the burial ground is what this planet is all about
It's where we are right now
We might not have any future to be found
On this burial ground we have nowhere to hide
Death is laughing at our cries
Cursed by men this world has become
We are building our own tombs by eliminating our source of life
When blindly we continue the destructions
There's no future, day by day we are reaching the end of our lives
8. Mortify 3:41
Alone in their destination
Wandering thru this violent life
A part of all misconception from their past
And now thrown out to the street to rot
Painful screams never heard
Hung on the wings of death
Germs are what they seem
For the rich they have no need
Left in the cold in crucial places
Feeling the horrors of real life
Places to places, nowhere to go
Agonizing pain and no one seems to care
Trying to revive 'em for a higher place
But no one seems to give any support
They hear their torment call
Disarmed from an endless war
Aimed by all kinds of poverty
Vagabonds you will find in all types of societies
Resting in the underground of this materialistic inferno
Mortify
In hostility of human injustice
Some say they're not concerned
But never willing to take their burdens
Let's hope it's not your skin
Which is rotting of sins
Mortify
In hostility of human injustice
They are living in a world of darkness
In which the light seems far away
No justice
Blamed for someone else's deeds
Humiliation
Because they are poor
Treated harshly
Is this what they call the advancement of mankind?
Why men want to rule the space while they can't even solve the problems of the earth
Where is our humble sense now?
So much said, but so little done
Blinded and devoured by our greed
Facing all the worries of our minds
We can't feel what is happening in the world around us
Turbulence is the reasons which we all must face
Crossing the line of stupidity and discrimination
Is one of the reasons which makes us ignore
The actual state of the moribund
Breaking down their hope to pieces
Destitution increases in front of their own miserable lives
Mortify
In hostility of human injustice
