TAKING BACK MY SOUL
Lyrics: Angela Gossow, Michael Amott
Processed, diluted,
Virtually unrecognizable
I was lost there - No direction
A scattered void
No more
It’s over
I’m on to you
Your evil game
The tables have turned
I am taking back my soul
Tranquilized, Scrutinized
Hate injected mind
As if internal wounds
Wouldn’t bleed, wouldn’t hurt me
Lead – Christopher Amott
I see through your lies
Taking back what’s mine
Lead – Michael Amott
NEMESIS
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
We walk this earth
With fire in our hands
Eye for an eye
We are Nemesis
We are with you
Countless vicious souls
Fight! - Fighting for freedom
United we stand
Lead – Christopher Amott
We are legion
Voice of anarchy
This is revolution
Creating new disorder
We are enemy
Opponent of the system
Crushing hypocrisy
Slaying the Philistine
One For All - All For One
We Are Strong - We Are One
Nemesis
Lead – Christopher Amott
A malicious fever burns
In our hearts, in our veins
Your blood, my blood
All blood runs the same
Outro Solo - Michael Amott
My Apocalypse
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
Sudden implosion of silenced emotions
Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long
Delusions of hope fading away
Dying like leaves on frozen soil
My apocalypse is near
I can feel the end… coming here
Neglecting existence, repulse and repent
An endless journey into the morbid
Whispering voices distorting all senses
Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long
My apocalypse is near
I can feel the end… coming here
Lead – Michael Amott
The bitter taste of a dying dream
Shine the light on our shadows and illusions
Lead – Christopher Amott
Carry The Cross
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
We walk through the ages
The world on our shoulders
A burden we carry
To The dark end of our days
A thousand eyes watching
Every step we are taking
Waiting to see us
Struggle and fall
And when we are beaten
The cross holds us down
I hear them laughing
And walking away
Carry the cross
And suffer the loss
Hear my confession
Forever damnation
Reincarnation
Bleeding forever
Recover in pain
Pain gives me strength
Pick up the cross
And carry it on
Over and over
The wheel turns again
And when we are beaten
The cross holds us down
I hear them laughing
And walking away
Carry the cross
And suffer the loss
Hear my confession
Forever damnation
Lead – Michael Amott
I AM LEGEND / OUT FOR BLOOD
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
I am after you
A shadow on the hunt
Don’t turn around
I am right behind you
I will get to you
And take you down
Tear your insides out
Crush your soul
I am out for blood
Out for your blood
I am harder than steel
Break your will
Waiting all my life
To kill
I will get to you
And take you down
Tear your insides out
Crush your soul
I am out for blood
Out for your blood
I
I
I
I
can smell your flesh
can taste your sweat
can sense your fear
am right here

SKELETON DANCE
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
On a journey ill
My mind floats astray
Over withered fields
I cross the river
This shortness of breath
Between birth and grave
Fading in the distance
I am nothing
Watch the Skeleton Dance
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
Here I am alone
Casting my own shadows
Traversing the mundane
Desperate cry
Boundless darkness
A voiceless fear
Unheard, unseen
It is coming near
Watch the skeleton dance
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
Watch the skeleton dance
Here I am - alone..
Had I not known
That I was dead
I would have mourned
My loss of life
Loss of life…
Lead - Michael
Between birth and Grave
Here I am alone

MECHANIC GOD CREATION
Lyrics: Angela Gossow, Michael Amott
The human race
Like a chromatic stain
Lost in concrete fields
Hybrids of steel
Mechanic God Creation
Enter annihilation
We are rendered obsolete
Just a relic at their feet
Not cold enough – too human
The doomsday machine
Created by man
Like a black dawn rising
To conquer – conquer and destroy
Mechanic God Creation
Enter annihilation
Climbing the walls
The walls are too high
They swallow the sun
Ebony sky
Lead – Michael Amott
We are rendered obsolete
Just a relic at their feet
Not cold enough – too human
Outro Lead – Christopher Amott
MACHTKAMPF
Lyrics: Michael Amott
Flying high on blackened wings
Vengeance in my eyes
Colder than steel, instantly real
A new power flows in me
Reaching out for something
Knowing that it’s there – somewhere
All I Had Was
All I Gave
Was it not enough?
You Took
You Take
Never giving anything back
Lead – Michael Amott
Bridges that I thought I crossed
Got to cross them all again
These paths that lead to nowhere
Mocked me all my life
Make a change
Break the chain
Make a change
End this game
Lead – Michael Amott
Lead – Christopher Amott
Vengeance in my eyes
A new power flows in me
SLAVES OF YESTERDAY
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
Monuments of dying dreams
As far away as Eden
These hours standing still
Finding comfort in a distant past
Slaves of yesterday
You are blind
Blind to the sunrise
A roaming spirit, forever lost
Among the living
Walking down the fatal road
Cursed to be left behind
Slaves of yesterday
You are blind
Blind to the sunrise
