1. I, Me, Mine


i, me, mine
i follow the signs
i, me, mine
take what i need
give me strength
but donīt fight back
give me strength
now you donīt exist

stand up straight
thereīs only me
iīm your world
thereīs nothing outside
listen to me
iīm always right
listen to me
īcos youīre always wrong



2. Us and Them


thatīs all there is
just us and them
no other way
itīs us or them

give it up or tear it down
give it up
or take it lying down
give it up
itīs us and them
give it up
itīs us or them

swear allegiance
to your lord
but all we really know
is the way of the sword



3. Endgames


take my soul
take my body
take it all
make your money
itīs all just you
put me down
rape my purity
for your security

i canīt give
i can only take
i canīt love
i can only hate
all i believe in
is just fake
but it keeps me believing
for sanitys sake



4. Witchhunt


no choice
one way
no choice
one way
is it war you want?
then youīll fucking burn
crush the weak?
weīll all fucking burn

witchhunt
scumhunt
witchhunt
scumhunt

do right, do wrong
do right, do wrong
destroy what you
donīt understand
keep running scared
but youīll burn
too



5. Whose Truth is Your Truth?


whoīs your saviour?
whoīs gonna slay you?
beyond perception
just deception
believe in something
die for nothing
take all you can get
but itīs never over

whose truth is your truth?
who has the answers?
how far can we go back?
īcos we never go forward



6. Defiled


iīm gonna get defiled
in your world iīm naive
like a lost child

now i donīt seem so strong
are my delusions real?
iīm not right nor wrong
all i can feel is the same old shit
build me up
break me down
and then be done with it

so iīm the one you sayīs unreal
teach me then slay me
only cold i feel
well you see iīm still standing here
the only thing you taught me
was to feel fear
i feel fea



7. Bittersweet


iīm invisible
and you wonīt even hear me
iīm divisible
be what i want to be
you wonīt hear me
but youīll feel me
thereīs no reason
no right of way



8. Nail


keep me chained down
so i canīt move
cut the light out
so i canīt see
keep me weak-willed
so you feel strong
cut the air out
so i canīt breathe

put me down
it builds you up
play by your game
and by your rules
make me see sense
through your senses
make me see my wrongs
īcos youīre always right



9. Descent


no desire, no air to breathe
no desire, no need to seethe
iīm just a child
thatīs always been
i need to justify
just to survive
what i want
is what you get
but what i want
is not yours yet
what you want
you always get
but what you want
is not dead yet



10. Control Freak


iīll dig deep
iīll hide away
iīll dig deep
turn night to day
i donīt want to
control you
but you want to
control me
submission
itīs so easy
play the game
by your rules



11. The Internal


our peace
is now in pieces
but what else would
you expect
but weīre nothing
nothing in truth

here comes
the internal
winter
where innocence forgets
