1. Born Dead, Buried Alive

[lyrics by Dan Swanö]

In the dimension beyond the twilight
A soul is waiting to be reborn
After a lifetime of repenting sin
A new life is about to begin

But something went wrong that fateful night
And the cosmos went berserk
A fusion of the heavens
And the sphere where the dark ones lurk

Hell grows stronger; your soul is at stake
You're granted life only to die
Dscend into the black.

Born Dead Buried Alive
Standing at the gate waiting for the dark to arrive
Born Dead Buried Alive
The army of the undead
Now possess your blackened soul

You'll never know life on earth
Doomed to forever walk the land beyond
When the final day arise, you twisted self will rise
The dead shall inherit the earth

You belong to the fires of Hades
You get your lifeblood from the river Styx
Hell in all its glory
Will forever be your dwelling place

The restless dead eagerly awaits
The day of maturity, the end of mankind
Crack the surface of the earth
And let there be hell.

Born Dead Buried Alive
Standing at the gate waiting for the dark to arrive
Born Dead Buried Alive
The army of the undead
Now possess your blackened soul






2. Eraser

Here it comes to subject the terror you forgot
No memories from the past
The unexplainable starts to appear
As your sub-consciousness begins to come back again

Reality fades away
You try to find a solution
Here it's coming now, indecision
You're free but you can't see through the confusion

[Chorus]
There is no time
No time to regret
The eraser's coming for your life
You got to run
Stay away from the light
The eraser's here to twist your mind

Feel your soul connected to the universe
The solstice is complete
They controlled your thoughts
You will remember now, what it's all about

Twist the end around, violation
It's burning deep and twisting under your skin
It scares you forever
The proof you will find in your dreams

[Chorus]






3. Stillborn

I'm standing in the circle of humans
..
.I see the circles
I am unable to flee

.. arised in the sky
This is the way it feels to die
I have to search, the rest will follow
There's nothing left but my soul so hollow

[Chorus]
I'm floating in the air
Slowly fading away from the earth
..
..

I've got to stay awake
but my eyelids...
I feel like a parasite
What will happen to us?
Will we ever see...
Will we ever return?
Will we ever survive?
It's a human curse

Final destination unknown
Humanity on the go
This is the end
Another beginning

I feel so alone
Like a part of me has died
I feel so weak
I'm falling apart inside

[Chorus]

..
They come to haunt me now
I swallow my pride, and the tears I've cried
Will never:
Tell me why






4. Slave To The Parasites

.. anything else
or maybe I'm dead, both trapped in a cage
Alone in my body now a shell deserted or is this the end of my age
Drowning into the bitter end
Is the thing's I cannot avoid
Crawling in a circle of hell
They won't let me exist on my own

[Chorus]
Slave to the parasites
I can't get away
They won't leave me be
Slave to the parasites
Here they come again
There is nowhere to hide

..
I'm all alone
..
..

The night is fallen
Another commit around the bend
They use me as an experiment
Words I don't understand

Crashed into the bitter end
Is the thing's I cannot avoid
.drowning in a circle of hell..
They won't let me exist on my own

[Chorus]

They won't get me this time
I can hear them coming closer
I'm not afraid to die
But I'd rather die than someone control my mind

[Chorus]






5. New World

Can't you see them coming
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
and praise the new...

[Chorus]
The new world is here to wipe out our lives
The new world we can't survive
The new world is here to wipe out our lives
The new world does not include us






6. The Abyss

Born dead in flames
For my beliefs
They will take me to hell
One step closer to death
I release my anger to be free

Feel alone again (free the lord again)

I feel no guilt for the lost ones
I stab, I stab again
..nothing soon will be
I look around and see all the bloody gore

Feel alone again (Free the lord again)






7. Dead By Dawning

I woke up screaming from a nightmare
That seemed so real
A horrified vision of the skyline
Covered up in steel
I stumble outside, everything around me had changed
I could not believe my eyes
I stare into a world re-arranged

My heart was pounding faster
Am I awake or still in a dream
The vision of final disaster
.?The vision of empty dreams?

[Chorus]
I see a dead by dawning
A lethal encounter of the first degree
I see a dead by dawning
No mercy for you, No mercy for me
I see a dead by dawning
A lethal encounter of the first degree
It's the end for you , It's the end for me

The world is silent
Only the life from above can be seen
..
..
It's not of this world
:our senses?
Something within me tells me
It's the end of humanity

My heart was pounding faster
Am I awake or still in a dream
The vision of final disaster
?The vision of empty dreams?

[Chorus]

Released from this nightmare
Let me wake up to find the world I knew
But then I see the faces around me
I realize we are the chosen few

[Chorus]






8. The Departure

I came back to life
Naked and tied to the floor
In the corner of my eyes
I saw them coming through the door

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and face the airport lights

[Chorus]
I stare into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stare into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been

..
..
..
as I look around
I realize I'm all alone
..
..Chills me to the bone

Suddenly rising up in the air
My mind was burning
:I said farewell to the bodies their stealing

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and face the airport lights

[Chorus]

:
I'll fit right back into the dream
But something here just keeps me awake
And I'm cut wide open
Maybe they search for my soul
This is more than a human can take

And don't tell me I'm dreaming
I know what I saw
I'll feel alive like never before

[Chorus]






9. War Within

[lyrics by Dan Swanö]

When you were born, that's when I died, it took too long to realize
I am the white, you are the black, and I'm slowly turning grey
Like a disease you break me down and silence my cries
You are the king, I am the fool I'm your eternal prey.

[CHORUS:]

Die! let me regain control
Die! Let my life return
Die! Let me reign in my own soul
Die! I'd do anything to see you burn!!

What I create you desecrate, Fuelled by endless hate
How can I win this war, this war against myself?
You are the king, I am the fool

[CHORUS.]

If I decide, it's suicide that will be my final move
How will know that you won't follow to the other sky?

You tricked my mind, you made me blind, but finally I can see
There's no escape. Cerebral rape, you are my destiny.

You turn me on; you turn me off, like I'm a fucking machine
You tuck me in; you throw me out, now all my thoughts are obscene

[CHORUS.]
