The world is made of wolves and sheep
with one devouring the other
It’s always been that way
and nothing ever changed
Although their titles may have altered
Their antics disguised by snaky smiles
with truth-twisting sweet words
The few still rein the masses
They reign with swords, they reign with silver
They reign with dead gods and with fear
They reign with terror and with power
But mostly they reign because sheep will follow
So stand your ground, enough is enough
clench your fists and whisper “no”
you are the only one to save the world
fight for what is right and uprise
I will neither the man nor fear take from me what is mine
Neither freedom, gold nor dignity
I will fight until we both go down
before I accept any truth I know not to be right
Uprise – do no longer follow
Uprise – until all kings and gods are dead
Uprise – you were born with the right to fight
Uprise – soar to be your own god
The sheep will wait until another stands and fights
and nothing is left for them
It is time to uprise and to be a wolf
to fight for your freedom, gold and dignity
and for all other sheep
They reign with swords, they reign with silver
They reign with dead gods and with fear
They reign with terror and with power
But mostly they reign because sheep will follow
Uprise – do no longer follow
Uprise – until all kings and gods are dead
Uprise – you were born with the right to fight
Uprise – soar to be your own god

Thrones to Overthrow

Thrones to Overthrow
In the absence of truth
Empires were created
out of bloodied soil, of unnamed graves
to justify what can not be justified
Thrones to overthrow - rise free spirits
Thrones to overthrow - bring down what devours your soul
Thrones to overthrow - enslaved for too long
Thrones to overthrow - destroy their empires
In the absence of truth
slaves were created
out of lost souls, with swords and axes
to empowere those who feed on blood
For far too long dead kings ruled
with crowns of thorns, crowns of gold
willingly given by the blind
enslaving the free mind
Rise with a shadow of horns
let hearts burn with will
let the fire devour their thrones
claim back what was taken from you

Gather the dark Spirits

Gather the dark Spirits
Hail the God in you
for freedom rests within
In the shadow of the cross
The slaves die in chains
So gather the dark spirits
Break loose your chains
Satan arise!
Hail the God in you
for wisdom lies within
In the shade of the goat
The wise men die in freedom
So gather the dark spirits
Break loose your chains
Satan arise!

Ravens in dark Skies

Ravens in dark skies
The battlefield surrounds
the dead lie rotting on the ground
the screams still carried by the winds
and in the dark skies above, the ravens sing
Ravens in dark skies
calling for the gods of death
justice is to be done
uprise and take what's yours
As kings and gods were killed
a new breed of oppression arose
they buy your soul with cupper
and take your rightful gold
It is time to rise and overthrow
for too long they took what is yours
earned by sweat and tears
arise and bring death to the kings in disguise
Burn down their strongholds
let them suffer for what they have done
for keeping your dreams in chains
for stealing your life, it is time to uprise and let the ravens sing
Ravens in dark skies
calling for the gods of death
justice is to be done
uprise and take what's yours

Nihilistic Chants

Nihilistic Chants
Haunting chants arising from the dark
calling the names of the enlightened
raising questioning monuments, blocking the sun
to break the souls of the few
The Abyss is waiting and forever louring
for the hearts that search for its gaze
Drown in the blood that is pouring
through this universal maze
To inquire the question
and to challenge live itself
seek for the depths
to the bitter end of nothingness
Strike off the last shackles that bind
to the doctrine of surreal substance
enter the nocturnal abyss
to find adamant freedom in eternal emptiness
When the last breath is drawn
and striving loses its meaning
when the veins turn forever cold
liberty is found in nothingness

Behold the eternity of Stars
Floating forevermore
through infinite time, through infinite space
passing the lives of thousands
in a mere blink of an eye
drifting through the endless cold
with frozen hearts and burning soil
Rise, tear down those walls of guilt and despair
for too long contrived gods ruled these eternal halls
ruled with promises of revelation and suffering
although these halls were empty all along except for the eternity of stars
Behold the eternity of stars,
cease this futile search for god
There is no deeper meaning to be found
than to gaze upon eternity from a mortal ground
To gaze upon eternity
To wonder until death does answer
To never content with simple truths
And to strife forevermore
As the stars shine down on our mortal souls
from a million of miles away
our lives diminish to a blink of an eye
and god is left to rot in insignificance
Behold the eternity of stars,
cease this futile search for god
There is no deeper meaning to be found
than to gaze upon eternity from a mortal ground
