1. Martyr


What I thought was life
Came to an end
Born into a world
I never asked for this
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away!

Born into hardship
World of destruction
Suffer, bastard
Suffer, bastard
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away!

Take me to heaven
Adorn me with wings
Suffer, bastard
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away!

Suffer, bastard...

I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away
I´ve got to get away



2. Scapegoat


Judges have decimated
Meanings of our laws
Already guilty?
Something has a flaw
Wrongly accused
Blindly confused
Open your eyes
Try to realize

Don´t you know
You can´t see
Too damn blind
To judge me!

Wrongly accused
Blindly confused
Open your eyes
Try to realize

Laws are meant to follow
But they´ve misled you
Conceal their meaning
So they can suit you
Misjudged by the system
No one ever knows
Adding injury to insult
No one ever knows
No one
No one knows
No one
No one
No one knows...

Judges have decimated
Meanings of our laws
Already guilty?
Something has a flaw
Wrongly accused
Blindly confused
Open your eyes
Wake up, realize!

Scapegoat
Scapegoat
Scapegoat
Scape - Goat
Scape - Goat



3. Scumgrief


Cry, cry, cry, cry

Wires around your arms
Like wires around your head
A crucifix of me
Above your bed

I´ve seen your wounds
That you can´t hide
You bleed well
When I cry

Cry, cry, cry
Scumgrief, Scumgrief
Scumgrief, Scumgrief

Smell the rats of deviance
Coursing through your veins
Rotting faith in yourself
Confined alone to decay
I´ve seen your wounds
That you can´t hide
You bleed well
With the rats inside



4. Self Immolation


Skin
Your scars
Surface is
Rusty blades

Self immolation crying out
Self immolation crying out
Self immolation crying out
Self immolation crying out

Oblivion
Your weakness
Is your temper
Is your temper

Your god
High above
In your veins
Liquid sky

Immortal
Your saviour
Destroys you
Destroys you
