Nemesis




1. Pathetic Liar

Does a trusting face, reflect its heart
Shaking hands, or breaking wrists
Life's all a lie
Stealing glory from the hearts of others
Stood facing mirrors
Reflections thrashing in disbelief

Vile, crass, gaunt, ashen-faced
Cringing, crawling, hiking in disgrace

Shredding skin, changing face
Snake-eyed, never making sense
Blinded with conceit
Lost in total paranoia
Fallacies in judgments
But no open regret
In winter winds
or summer breeze
The only truth is fear

Pitiful, dismal, spiteful, parasite scum

Vile, crass, gaunt, ashen-faced
Cringing, crawling, hiking in disgrace
Liar


2. Portrait Of Henry

Carnage, at the flick of the wrist
Oh! Mortal Spirit, disdain never discriminates
To dismember is natural
To annihilate is habitual
Every step taken
Ushers in dread

Hunger forever calling
Deeper in to ugliness
Serene in debauchery
Man's caricature is his fate

Monster within
Turns inside out
Only to face
Face itself
Face itself
Face itself
Face itself
Face itself

Primitive barbarian, reprobate, born savage


3. Empress (Of Rancor)

Driven to tears while being sucked dry
Beaten down, exploited, left in bits
No hint of self seeking, cold hard facts overlooked
While the ritual of disgust begins

Premeditation, no trace
Rigid execution
Of plans severe
Trust overlooked
While draining emotions
Avoiding with grace
Concerns unanswered

Slowly, methodically, breaking bonds of blood
Gown of tradition, splashed with crimson
Hidden deep in the belly of hate
Black widows bite dealt with precision
Trading her body in the pretense of love

Prevention of instinct
Survival never a second throught, submit
The wall to survive, buried absolute
Avoiding with unanswered

Hanesty betrayed
The struggle for breath begins
The web is spun breath begins
Never to let the children see the
Gown of tradition, splashed with crimson
Hidden deep in the belly of hate
Black widows bite, deaaalt with precision
Trading her body in the pretense of love


4. Descending Darkness

Pushed into the
Mounth of the Abyss
A world that owes nothing
Trapped in an emotionless empire
Silent are endless parades
Respect like smoke
Lost in cyclones
Breathing along the isle
of no return
The gavel crashes upon
A system built for
The substitute fix only to shatter
Crisp brittle sorrow
Smacks hard into melting faces
Friction sinks into rotting masses
Swallowed by seas of sand
Deep in the bloody soil
Buried under the sins of our fathers
Bodies splinter
From the bowels of sorrow
Escaping to twist in the wind
The scent of darkness


5. War Between One

War between one
Supporting temptation
Relentless conclusive seduction
MOving faster, fucked up tormented
Poverty bites, but comes in second
Needing now to

Taste the magic, with slave mentality
Blistering from self inflicted madness

Accusation, trusting non one
Intolerant, sick of the bullshit
Cruising disgusted
Down roads of the fallen
Vulnerable, alluring a higher plain

Wounds only heal by looking deeper
Don't yield, find yourself
Reach inside to fink the truth
At the center of this spiral sedation

Strange purity lost in real nightmares
Accepting demise with slow torture


6. Scream At The Sky

Patterns in the ground
Structures built for what
Real the premise
We are not alone

Truth kept locked away
Evidemce, records destroyed
Sightings shrouded in abscurity

Abductions, scarred remains
Comming to, returning from where
Testimony defies all reasoning
Scream

Secrets will survive
Never to melt away
Nothing disappears without a trace

Hanger 18 denied
Encounters called a hoax
All out conspiracy of silence

Skeptical attitudes
Enforced by policies
Denial of cover-up
The biggest lie of all

Scream. Scream at the sky
My body snakes in pure frustration
I feel you watching me
I feel you piercee my eyes
No mysteries closed with open minds

Scream, scream at the sky
Scream, scream at the sky
Scream


7. Silent Stranger

Cold winds blow across the desert
Which shall be crossed before morning
Moving swiftly across water and sand
Reaching the point of the return

Silent stranger, chasing dreams
Living with danger embracing the new

Days gathering, rain of shine
Living roads with ambition
Minority a wheel within a wheel
The only crime is being alive

Move from place to place
Avoiding detection
Prison without bars
Land of the free

In the New World
IN the New world

Merging culture
Escaping poverty
Morals challenged
Changing identity

Cold winds blow across the desert
Which shall be crossed before morning
Moving swiftly across water and sand
Reaching the point of the return


8. The Summoning

Still and silent in the tomb
The mystery it starts to move
Bound and wrapped golden faced
Disorder fills the sacred place

Invisible in their mindst illusive in disguise

The mind is strong, the flesh is weak
Conserved and distinct through centuries
For disturbance all shall pay
Bandage and bone turns to grey

Fractured silenced aroused from exile
Sparking resurrection of of pain

When I move nobody sees me
When I scream nobody hears me

Fill the tremble in the tomb
Wrath is unleased inside the tomb
Ambiance of revenge fills all
Intruders intertwined with the sands of time

Take cloak inside the tomb
Reform with awe did prevail
Guardian keeper did rise unknown
All is at rest calm petrified


9. Rusty Nail

Low is easy to find, justice hard to achieve
Conversations always failing
Look straight ahead, see only that is real
Stop the endless search for judgement
Circumstances revolve apportunities rap defying
Stabbing pressures of decision
Like stepping hard upon rusty nails
Disease flows without resistance

See pole skin turning red
Provocation rules throughout
Burning with desire
Watching others fall away
Concealed always to stay
Behind the eyes of insanity

No compromise the poison flows freely
Bringing naked brutality
The will to command constant everlasting
Endless battle for recognition

Clear the warnings rampant negativity
Attrition of man explodes


10. Myth Or Man

Sucked into vortex on a full moon night
Air tasted sweet speed felt right
Down winding highways following cats eyes
Glowing fierce and pines my mind runs shallow
Eyelids getting heavy the road tells me to follow
Into the desolate amongst the remains savaged isolation

Unexplained deaths in the valley
The myth of the devils lair lies deep in suspicion
And folklores for centuries
Credibility never challenged
Rumor panic smoke screen desire
To conceal reality

Nemesis or Deceiver, stench of natures dungeon
Horror upon horror, shiver as the jackal howls

Looking our from the hillside
Smoke rises from the valley below
Unearthly screams cut through the rain

Every creature dies, paper mouses burn
Tears fall at the Wall of Names
Sacrifice for freedom, punishment or reward
Take the journey of fear or hope

Nemesis or Deceiver, stench of natures dungeon
Horror upon horror, shiver as the jackal howls
Lunatic fringe, aura of the shrouded pulls
Myth or man beyond the call


11. Code Of Silence

The silence grows loud
Echoing through the halls
Abandoned by our protectors
No effort to serve, protect
Heartless tunes beat
Swirling behind badge and gun

Allegiance to enwritten low
Depravation shut away

Code of silence Code of silence

Bodies beaten and bloody
No chance of innocence
No effort to step forward
The silence grows louder


1997 Metal Blade Records
