Mr. Torture

Welcome to the torture chamber
Said the sign above the entrance
Laughing as he taked you by the hand
Looking like a maniac savage
Inside you can sense the anguish
Theatre of pain has just begun

Mr. Torture gives pain
With his whips and his chains
He knows just what you crave
Mr. Torture
If you're feeling alone
Then just pick up your phone
Dial 18 double 0
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain

Only sixty cents a minute
For his special brand of sinning
Phone guaranteed to blow your mind
You can catch him on the website
Has a live chat every weeknight
Cyber-torture soon coming your way

Mr. Torture sells pain
To the housewives in Spain
He knows just what they crave
Mr. Torture
If you're feeling alone
Then just pick up your phone
Dial 18 double 0
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain

Handcuffed, bound, chained, and blinded
Body, soul, and mind ignited
Every sense is torn and ripped apart
He's been banned in twenty countries
Though he does it for money
He gets pleasure from hearing you scream

Mr. Torture gives pain
With his whips and his chains
He knows just what you crave
Mr. Torture
If you're feeling alone
Then just pick up your phone
Dial 18 double 0
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain

All Over The Nations

I keep wondering all these days
How to thrive the way we stray
A year, a lifetime - parted, together
will be all the same
Many things to make me sad
Some can even drive me mad
Just fear forever
No more endeavours
Leave me where I stand

You are here
And make me feel so high
Day by day
Something one can't deny
Lets give each other certainty
All over the nations the tunes come alive
Winners and losers, we're all alike
No matter as truth ain't some great mystery
We all fade into one

Don't you feel too hypnotized
Or keep your future jeopardized
So whats accomplished crying for nothing?
Skip depression now

Come, arise and take me higher
No more lies, and every soul can see
We're incarnate sincerity
All over the nations the tunes come alive
Winners and losers, we're all alike
No matter as truth ain't some great mystery
We all fade into one

All over the nations the tunes come alive
Winners and losers, we're all alike
No matter as truth ain't some great mystery
We all fade into one

Escalation 666

Black you stripped me
Reveal me the secrets of your pain - painful lies?
Life itself that feeds your wisdom
Almost everyday you put yourself high on a shelf
Whatever you do, wherever you go
Never turn my back on you

Shadows on the wall
Darkness is spreading
I warm my hands on the flames of lies
In vain I scream against the wind
They don't understand my last testament

Escalation 666
Escalation 666
Escalation 666

Deceit and malice
Every smile hides betrayal and greed, hypocrisy
We've been like brothers
Now I hold out my hands to a bloodless, to a bloodless soul

Shadows on the wall
Darkness is spreading
I warm my hands on the flames of lies
In vain I scream against the wind
They don't understand my last testament

Shadows on the wall
Darkness is spreading
I warm my hands on the flames of lies
In vain I scream against the wind
They don't understand my last testament

Escalation 666
Escalation 666 (my last testament)
Escalation 666 (my last testament)

Mirror Mirror

My age you keep uncertain
This spell cannot be broken
Visions of eternal youth
We share one face together
Associates forever
Only you know the truth

Mirror mirror on the wall
Whose the master of them all?
Mirror Mirror split in two
Look at me, who are you?

I swim in my reflection
Mirror answer my question
Tell me what I want to hear
I see a perfect creature
Contracted human feature
I'll drown you with your vanity

Mirror Mirror on the wall
Whose the sickest of them all
Mirror Mirror split in two
Look at me - who are you?

No, my life is beautiful
I said, my life is beautiful

Mirror Mirror on the wall
Whose the sickest one of all
Mirror mirror split in two
Look at me - Who are you
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Whose the master of them all
Mirror Mirror split in two
Look at me - who are you?

If I Could Fly

No fear, no pain
Nobody left to blame
I'll try alone
Make destiny my own
I learn to free my mind
Myself I now must find
Once more
Once more

If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
To the heavens I sail
If I could fly

So here I am
In solitude I stand
I've got dreams inside
I need to realize
My faith has grown
No fear of the unknown
No more
No more

If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
I could ravage my jail
If I could fly

Salvation

Sent to a world cold as steel
Don't know where else I have been
Where will I go? - I can't tell
Who would save us if we fell
Can you feel what I see?
In blind faith would you believe?
Don't share my point of view
But it may mean a lot to you

Tell me will we remember
How it used to be?
Will it be the same
In a time in the future?
Will there be a different way
Can one ever say?

Anthem for a distant world
We'll all be alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see
When salvation comes our way

All my life I was sure
Kept my thoughts clean, real and pure
Just as I will always know
Were down here to learn and grow
I am my own entity
And the world is there for free
Keeps me alive 'til that day
When my soul will find the way

In another dimension
You may find paradise
We'll be safe and warm
I've been told there will be everyone
I held so close and near
There will be no fear

Anthem for a distant world
We'll be all alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see
When salvation comes our way

Anthem for a distant world
We'll be all alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see
When salvation comes
When salvation comes
When salvation comes our way

The Departed Sun Is Going Down

There I stood with the sun in my eyes
Dust on my face
And mouth parched and dry
Memories are racing
Flashing scenes through my mind
I know what's ahead
Today would be a good day to die

Once I thought I had a golden heart
Once I thought my dreams would never shatter
Now I stand here
Jaded and cold
Epitaph being carved on my tombstone

I would die for you - would you die with me?
No, you can't deny
Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
Blaze across the sky

Sun is going down
And there's no tomorrow
Sun is going down
Going down on me
Sun is going down
No more time to borrow
Dance with the devil
Sun is going down
For the lonely hearted
Sun is going down
In a blink of an eye
Sun is going down
On the departed
Laugh at the devil

I would die for you - would you die with me?
Caught in a fight
I was drawn again
I never thought I'd be betrayed
By my best friend
He lost his life as he went for mine
If this is the end
I want to die with you

Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
Blaze across the sky

Sun is going down
Going down on me
Sun is going down
No more time to borrow
Dance with the devil
Sun is going down
For the lonely hearted
Sun is going down
In a blink of an eye
Sun is going down
On the departed
Laugh at the devil

I would die for you - would you die with me?
No, you can't deny
Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
Blaze across the sky

Sun is going down
Going down on me
Sun is going down
No more time to borrow
Dance with the devil
Sun is going down
For the lonely hearted
Sun is going down
In a blink of an eye
Sun is going down
On the departed
Laugh at the devil

Sun is going down
No more time to borrow
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
...

I would die for you - would you die with me?
Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?

I Live For Your Pain

Unchain your obscenity
Desirable enemy
Await my enlightening
Allow what your fate can bring

Now you're caught inside my cage
You are the object of my rage
Sin, I wash you clean again
I'm your redeemer

Cause I
I live for your pain
I live for your pain
I'm dying

My victim you are meant to be
No, you cannot hide nor flee
You know what I'm looking for
Pleasure your torture, I will endure

Now you are rust inside my cage
you are the object of my rage
Blood, I wash you clean again
I'm your redeemer

Cause I
I live for your pain
I live for your pain
I'm dying

I'll burn in your flame
I live for your pain
I'm dying
I'm dying
I'll burn

Now you are rust inside my cage
You - the object of my rage
Blood I wash you clean again
I'm your redeemer
Be my believer

Cause I,
I live for your pain
I live for your pain
I'm dying

I'll burn in your flame
I live for your pain
I'm dying
I'm dying
I'm dying
I'll burn

We Damn The Night

Blood in my pillow
Blood in my skin
Am I going mad
Or was this a dream?
There in the depth
The hollow souls wait
Voices surround me
Tempting my fate
Then out of nowhere
Figures in white
Guarding my soul in the fight

We are strong we re'alive
We have faith in his might
We believe in the everlasting light
Anytime, anywhere we will always be there
We will fight for what's just and what's right
We damn the night

Out in the blackness
Shivering cold
Doubt takes on shape
Fear the unknown
Eyes of the fallen
Piercing their glance
Whispers of doom
Left without chance
Then out of nowhere
Figures in white
Shield my soul in the fight

We're strong, we're alive
We have faith in his might
We believe in the everlasting light
Anytime, anywhere we will always be there
We will fight for what's just and what's right
We damn the night

We're strong, we're alive
We have faith in his might
We believe in the everlasting light
Anytime, anywhere we will always be there
We will fight for what's just and what's right
We damn the night
We damn the night
We damn the night

Immortal

Two lives, one fate
I have to leave
So will you follow me?
That's how it's meant to be
I reigned as God
I'm monumental
Soon I will arise
With you by my side
And we will radiate the skies
He who will gaze our lights
Will kill his mind, his vision blind

Tonight we are stars
Stars that shine on bright
Tonight we are stars
Stars immortal light
Tonight we are stars

All treasures all goods
We bury where we lay down to die
And pay for paradise
Await the highest thorn of all
And who will gaze our lights
Will kill his mind, is going blind

Tonight we are stars
Stars that shine on bright
Tonight we are stars
Stars inside the nights of ache
Love and hate
Hope and shade
Take you away

I will take you away
I'm gonna take you away
I'm gonna take you away

Tonight we are stars
Stars that shine on bright
Tonight we are stars
Stars immortal light of ache
Light of hate
Hope and shade
Part of the fate
Tonight we are stars

The Dark Ride

All board step right this way
The dark ride is leaving soon
Just sign your name on the dotted line
All I want is just your soul
Tighten your belt and lets go
Standing in line to get to the fairground
Heading to the wicked side
One way ticket, there is no returning
Leave your soul at the gates

Out of doubt, no hope
Satan feeds our madness
Insanity confirms where we stand
Spit the red vile breath and
Wrath is our gift that
Leads direct to Armageddon

Take a place - on the dark ride
Slowly creeping up - quickly coming down
Take a spin on the dark ride
May too far from the other side

Step inside and take this final journey
Your fantasies will come true
Inclination without liberation
Life's carousel is catching you

Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Driven to our final fate
Jump out of this game

Can we ever stop this ride to hell?

Take a place - on the dark ride
Slowly creeping up - quickly coming down
Take a spin on the dark ride
May too far from the other side

Is there any wonder?
Why we came about
Was it for love?
Or to let sin abound
Isn't it a wonder
Awake from blood thick dreams
Remove all the stones from our hearts
We must all believe

Oh, will we find a way to the other side
Heading for a light
Who is holding the key, why can't we see
The dark ride

I force the engine of your deadly sins
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
I'm your pain when you can't feel
I know too well you'll follow me, you follow me down

Is there any wonder?
Why we came about
Was it for love?
Or to let sin abound
Isn't it a wonder
Awake from blood thick dreams
Remove all the stones from our hearts
We must all believe

The Madness Of The Crowds

[Bonus track]

Sightless the one who relays on promise
Blind he who follows the path of vows
Deaf he who tolerates words of deception
But they who fathom the truth bellow
Shout! Shout! The madness of the crowds hail insane
The madness of the game
Guilty the one with his silent knowledge
Exploiting innocence for himself
Dangerous he whom our faith was given
Broad is the road leading straight to hell
Shout! Shout! The madness of the crowds hail insane
The madness of the game
Dangerous he whom our faith was given
Broad is the road leading straight to hell
Shout! Shout! The madness of the crowds hail insane
The madness of the game

Deliver Us From Temptation

[Bonus track]

A priest caught in lust
Is roaming the red light
Pays to indulge his sins
Body cry
Each day he awakes
And prays for forgiveness
"Our Father", he cries to his God
"Set me free"
Once we may ask for forgiveness
Someday we could see paradise
His words echo to his disciples
Yet again he'll give in to his vice
Caught and bound by temptation
So ashamed of running free
Sweet embrace, captivation
Carnal truth against out beliefs
Deliver us
Deliver us
His suit hides the truth
His business is pushing
Supplying the kings of the street
Rich man's pride
Higher than high, a kid passing by
Blows off his head and escapes
Outta sight - outta sight
Who finds the road to redemption
The preacher, the kid, or the man
Who will decide it, I wonder
Vicious circle entangled and trapped
Caught and bound by temptation
So ashamed of running free
Sweet embrace, captivation
Carnal truth against our beliefs
Deliver us
Deliver us
Once we may ask for forgiveness
Someday we could see paradise
His words echo to his disciples
Yet again he'll give in to his vice
Caught and bound by temptation
So ashamed of running free
Sweet embrace, captivation
Carnal truth against our beliefs
Deliver us
Deliver us
Deliver us
Deliver us
