KREATOR Lyrics (163)
Dehumanization through industrialization
 Bring fear to the masses of reincarnation
 Manic frustration deterioration
 Nature fights back for its own preservation
 
 Concrete coffin breeds lunacy
 Cold steel skeleton
 Desperation in the factory
 Crank out oblivion
 
 Material world paranoia
 Corporations rule the earth
 Material world paranoia
 Enslavery begins at birth
 
 Power's illusion brings global confusion
 A forgone conclusion of mind's evolution
 Nature's destruction through massive production
 A blatant example of mindless construction
 
 Concrete coffin breeds lunacy
 Cold steel skeleton
 Desperation in the factory
 Crank out oblivion
 
 Material world paranoia
 
 Don't dream about how life can be
 Experience your dreams
 Before this prefab culture wastes your life
 Stay on the straight and narrow course
 Material wealth is yours
 But the promise of a better future is a lie
 The promise of a better future is nothing but a lie
I hear the roar of a big machine
 Two worlds and in between
 Hot metal and methedrine
 I hear empire down
 I hear empire down
 
 I hear the roar of a big machine
 Two worlds and in between
 Love lost, fire at will
 Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill
 I hear Dive, bombers, and
 Empire down
 Empire down
 
 I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
 Get down, get undressed
 Get pretty but you and me,
 We got the kingdom, we got the key
 We got the empire, now as then,
 We don't doubt, we don't take direction,
 Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me
 
 We look hard
 We look through
 We look hard to see for real
 Such things I hear, they don't make sense
 I don't see much evidence
 I don't feel
 I don't feel
 I don't Feel
 
 A long train held up by page on page
 A hard reign held up by rage
 Once a railroad
 Now it's done...
 
 I hear the roar of a big machine
 Two worlds and in between
 Hot metal and methedrine
 I hear empire down...
 
 We got the empire, now as then,
 We don't doubt, we don't take reflection,
 Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...
Don't try to tell us
 What is right for us
 We don't give a fuck anyway
 Don't try to steal
 Imagination from us
 Things we believe
 We will never betray
 
 Those who has the power to
 Suck us dry - throw us away
 Those who never could create
 Destroy the music of today
 Those devoid of any feeling
 Those who make the compromise
 Betray themselves to make a deal
 Sell their soul at any price
 
 Sounds without feeling,
 Energy of agressions
 From money hungry brains
 And not from the heart
 Fortune, fame and glory
 Are their obssessions
 Salesman, deaf to music
 Blind to art
 
 No honesty, just sterility
 A cautious sound they make
 Without creativity
 It's still the same
 As another age
 When they took the words
 Of truth and put them
 To a flame
 
 [CHORUS]
 
 No more
 Love us or hate us
 No more
 Love us or hate us
 
 Some have eyes
 And still can't see
 Their plastic noise is
 Anything but music to me
 Mechanized and computerized
 Switch off your brain and
 Make sounds that dehumanize
 
 [CHORUS REPEATS]
 
 Don't try to take our dreams
 Away from us
 We will never be like you
 Love us or hate us
 It doesn't matter to me
 We don't want to be a part
 Of this sick society
 
 Those who have a passion to
 Will never change our way of life
 We may not think the way you do
 But we know that we are right
 Those who want to form a world
 Of friends and monotony
 Have to do it without us
 Cause we always be free
Existance of brutality
 Agravation infinite greed
 Necrosexuality
 All there's left is hate
 All there's left is pain
 
 Mass frustation
 Is the cost
 Global depression
 Life stands still, all love is lost
 
 No experience too extreme
 Orgasmic pleasure, abstract dreams
 Mercyless perversity
 All there's left is hate
 All there's left is pain
 
 Mass frustation
 Is the cost
 Global depression
 Life stands still, all love is lost
 
 Hate cannot die, forever alive
 
 Mass frustation
 Is the cost
 Global depression
 Life stands still, all love is lost
Endless destruction
 Blood falls like rain
 The war of the demons
 Will give you pain
 Inverted crosses
 The reaper will rise
 The war of the demons
 Will make you die
 I'll take you down into my grave
 I'll rip your flesh and torment your face
 Your cry in the night none will hear
 It's time to die you're living in fear
 Fight with the mortals
 Death is their goal
 Eating the corpses
 And sell all their souls
 Obey the commands
 Of the black majesty
 You know your soul
 Will never be free
Watch the mortals
 From above
 As they destroy
 Everything they love
 And all the faces without
 Names devoured into the
 Roaring flames Aaargh
 Burn in flames
 
 Through the clouds I'm diving
 Over Babylonian fields Below the stars
 Beyond material dreams
 Manifest my independence this is true belief
 This nightmare they call life is not for me
 
 This is my time this is my fight
 In bareness darker than the night
 An alloy of conflict and strife
 Nothing can touch me
 As I fly
 
 I fly on a lion with eagle wings
 Up into the black sky
 On a lion with eagle wings
 See me fly on a lion with eagle wings
 High above in the sky
 On the lion with eagle wings
 
 I live my life with no regrets
 In perfect harmony
 From waters I emerge
 On the first beast
 Under tyrant's whip they live
 A life in slavery
 As elders mourn a youth they can't relive
 
 This is my time this is my fight
 In bareness darker than the night
 A sea of tears, conflicts and strife
 It now means nothing as I fly
 
 As I fly on a lion with eagle wings
 Up into the black sky
 On a lion with eagle wings
 See me fly on a lion with eagle wings
 High above in the sky
 On the lion with eagle wings
 
 Far from above I'm watching a hell with no end
 A nightmare unfolds never to escape me again
 A skeletal field where flowers will never cohere
 Spiral downwards into the dust of flesh and fear
 
 As I fly on a lion with eagle wings
 Up into the black sky
 On a lion with eagle wings
 See me fly on a lion with eagle wings
 High above in the sky
 On the lion with eagle wings
The outside world is cold as ice
 Deep inside you're burning
 You're raging as you live your life
 This can't be all, this is a lie
 So take my hand
 The pain must end
 Into the sky, if you believe we'll fly
 
 Come on let's Leave This World Behind
 
 A prescious gift you once forgot
 Is awakening this moment
 If you believe it becomes real
 This energy they could not kill
 
 It gets so strong
 We'll meet to one
 Just spread your wings
 Let loose and fly with me
 
 Come on let's Leave This World Behind
 
 This misery must fade away
 For us to see a better day
 If that's all there is to choose
 Let it loose right now
[Raven Cover]
 
 Most people take it they get pushed down
 Bared out of their minds just hanging around
 Make no decisions they out on a limb
 Labelled and numbered prospects are grim.
 
 Yeah its time to fight back
 Yeah its time to attack.
 
 Taken their pride is locked in room
 Lambs to the slaughter your turns comes soon
 Picked on and pushed they don't stand for their rights
 When they come to they just out lights.
Shelter me for I am locked in a world
 That lost the will to be free
 Dying age a chronicle of forgotten peace
 Replaced by hate
 Rescue me for all I can do is try
 To escape this reality
 Trip away color the night until the
 Sun awakes another day
 
 The karmic wheel is turning
 Faster than before
 
 Cover me with lifesblood essence
 Leading me to a cosmic desire
 Sent from God the spark of an earthly
 Existence leaves new ornaments
 Burn my psyche lead it to the
 Crystal stake and set it on fire
 Here to stay before it could begin
 You lead it to the end
 
 The karmic wheel is turning
 Faster than before
 
 Till the end of time, till the end of life
 The wheel is turning as we die
 
 (Keep turning)
 
 Come with me, to where all greed
 Ends honesty is all that matters
 Far from here, awareness far beyond
 Industrial intellect
 Lay on me for the ones who felt
 The same way won't forget us
 All I lose concrete slavery
 Liberty so imperfect
 
 The karmic wheel is turning
 Faster than before
 
 Till the end of time, till the end of life
 The wheel is turning as we die
 
 (Keep turning)
Here in isolation
 Seeing more than the eye can see
 Safe in peaceful silence
 So far out of reach
 
 Closer to purest liberty
 Isolation is what I seek
 Manifest with the long lost truth
 Where pain and agony is absolute
 
 In this life of sadness
 True serenity lies within
 Dream of distant places
 Where no soul has ever been
 
 In my mind
 No time, no space
 So close
 Misery I can escape
Do you remember where this came from?
 Do you recall how this started long ago?
 Do you still believe or did you go astray?
 Will you be among the last ones to remain? 
 
 Iron destiny,
 We would never be, what they wanted us to be.
 We refuse to say,
 We refuse to say, what they want us to say.
 
 Never wanted to reject them.
 They rejected: we became for what we are.
 Some still on the front, some ways come to an end.
 We made this pact for life, a fate we shall defend. 
 
 Iron destiny,
 We would never be, what they wanted us to be.
 We refuse to say,
 We refuse to say, what they want us to say.
 
 This is what we stand for, something you cannot kill.
 We are the counter-culture, and we are growing still.
 This is what we stand for, still believe and always will.
 My lens are radical
 My lens are radical
 
 Iron destiny,
 We would never be, what they wanted us to be.
 We refuse to say,
 We refuse to say, what they want us to say.
 
 I would never believe in their lies!
 I would never believe in their lies!
One hundred lives in just one night
 The fire took them all
 A revolution from inside
 Damned to rule our souls
 
 From far away i heard them scream
 I saw them burned alive
 No one could flee, he came too fast
 Impossible conception lies the...
 
 Inferno, Inferno
 
 All their dreams, all their hopes
 All that they obey
 All despotic fantasies
 Erased in just one day
 
 From far away i seen them die
 So many burned alive
 Damned from our society
 Impossible conception lies the...
 
 Inferno, Inferno
 
 Suddennly it really happened
 Suddenly it comes to life
 The Inferno!
 
 Inferno, Inferno
 
 Suddennly it really happened
 Suddenly it comes to life
 The Inferno!
Your whole live you've been a misfit in your area
 Nobody wants to hang out with a guy like you
 But now you've found new friends, you're no longer an inferior
 And you act exactly the way they do
 
 Life - your life now seems to make sense
 You've got something to obey
 The wrong ideals of your friends
 But for me it seems you're
 
 Impossible - impossible to cure
 The way you think
 Is wrong that's for sure
 The way you act
 Won't bring you no fame
 Open your eyes, this ain't no game
 
 Face the truth you will never realize your dreams
 As long as we stand against you extreme
 Forget it we won't let your dreams come true
 Can't you see you're just swimming with the stream
 
 [Repeat chorus]
All I see is Terror
 All I see is pain
 All I see is mothers dragging children to their graves
 A curse as old as time, An armageddon misery
 Spectators of a World in ruins
 Hypnotized I'm staring at
 
 Impossible Brutality [x4]
 
 Its all there was, Its all there'll ever be
 
 All I see is violence
 All I see is hate
 All I see is tyrants dragging servants on a chain
 A curse as old as time, An armageddon misery
 Spectators of a World in ruins
 Paralyzed I'm staring at
 
 Impossible Brutality [x4]
 
 Its all there was, Its all there'll ever be
 
 How much more can you take
 Propaganda mind control
 From the cradle to the grave
 Poisoned fruits to kill the soul
 The weak following the blind
 Fearful hearted empty eyed
 In this mortal plane of slaves
 Life's oppressors can not be destroyed
 
 All I see is Terror
 All I see is pain
 All I see is mothers dragging children to their graves
 A curse as old as time, An armageddon misery
 Spectators of a World in ruins
 Paralyzed I'm staring at
 
 Impossible Brutality [x4]
 
 Its all there was, Its all there'll ever be
 
 And as your World collapses
 I'll watch it die in silence
 I wish this day would come now
 Await it's dawning without fear
Violent chaos haunting me
 Mirror of countless human tragedies
 Times of horror, constant lies
 Totalitarians autocracy's demise
 Fake peace a necrologue for the elite
 Brutality among the weak
 While children die for Armageddon victory's breed
 This necrologue for the elite
 Like raging beasts among the sheep
 While flags are waving everywhere
 They scream
 
 Hordes of chaos
 Hordes of chaos
 Everyone against everyone - chaos
 Hordes of chaos
 Hordes of chaos
 Everyone against everyone - chaos
 
 Brutal riots left and right
 Out to destroy, willing to die
 Honour killing in blood is shed
 A cruel reality in empires built in sand
 Dark war, more gruesome then ever before
 Supports this decadence galore
 A tyrants feast on shoulders
 Of the poorest of the poor
 The necrologue for the elite
 The rise of the heartless bourgoise
 While flags are waving
 Everywhere they scream
 
 Hordes of chaos
 Hordes of chaos
 Everyone against everyone - chaos
 Hordes of chaos
 Hordes of chaos
 Everyone against everyone - chaos
 
 Ultra riot!
 
 Ultimate crimes
 Ultimate hate
 Ultimate war
 Ultimate fear
 Ultimate pain
 Ultimate terror
 Ultimate death
 Ultimate sin
 Ultimate scorn
 
 The ultimate control of masses of everyone
 
 Now scream!
 Now scream!
 
 Everyone against everyone
 Chaos
 Everyone against everyone
 Chaos
 Everyone against everyone
 Chaos
 
 Everyone against everyone
 Everyone against everyone
 Everyone against everyone
 Everyone against everyone
 Everyone against everyone
 Everyone against everyone
 Against everyone
 Against everyone
 Against everyone
 Against everyone
 Against everyone
 
 Hordes of Chaos!
No shape, no form, no brain, no mind
 But the power to control all resistance
 Its awesome might cannot be denied
 
 By the world that ignores its existence
 
 Older than time - stranger than life
 Don't look for a sign without warning it will arrive
 
 It can read your mind
 See the world inside
 Oversees your life
 Decides the day you die
 Silent lifetaker
 Sentient creator
 Worlds recoil in fear
 Of the hidden dictator
 Presence beyond our imagination
 Horrible being of fate
 Not one sign of its domination
 God prays it never awakes
 
 Older than time - stranger than life
 Don't look for a sign without warning it will arrive
 
 It can read your mind
 See the void inside
 Oversees your life
 Decides the day you die
 Silent lifetaker
 Sentient creator
 Worlds recoil in fear
 Of the hidden dictator
 
 Worlds have risen, lived and died under its obscene command
 Kept the balance of galaxies in its omnipotent hands
 Minds of greedy distortion
 All are destroyed in its wake
 It judges the worth of the low forms of life
 Who cower and quiver and quake
 
 Some may call it the savior
 Fall to their bellies and pray
 Some will try to resist in the hope they'll exist
 To experience just one more day
 
 And the lost shall pray for forgiveness
 And the fearful and weak start to scream
 As the terrible nightmare of a dying world
 Becomes beauty beyond any dream
 
 One world must end
 New ones begin
 A pure life form
 From death is born
 Silent lifemaker
 Sentient creator
 The new world is blessed by the hidden dictator
Citizen surrender
 Burning tortured screams
 Blind fanaics full of hatred
 Situation out of hand
 
 Adrenaline must boil
 For rioting racists
 Hellhounds in anger
 Turmoil and prejudice rise
 
 Hectic sudden panic
 Careless tragedy
 Cold capitulation
 As the oldest hate begins again
 
 Adrenaline must boil
 For rioting racists
 Hellhounds in anger
 Turmoil and prejudice rise
 
 Intellectual master minds
 Autocrats lead the blind
 Cleansing endsieg deprivation
 Extreme racial seperation
 
 Hate inside your head
 Riots escalate
Build me a nation, a fountain of life
 And let us be the voice
 For what words cannot express
 The failed, the outcasts
 The sagacious and wise
 Will form a bond, impeccable art
 Crafted through aeons of time
 
 If night will fall black shadows
 Are taking our sight
 We carry each other through the darkest
 Moments in life, stronger than hate
 Stronger than fear, stronger than all
 We are one
 Hail to the hordes
 We are one
 Hail to the hordes
 
 Build me a nation, let's make a stand
 Live our lives to the full, come let's walk
 Hand in hand let us remember
 What it once meant
 
 To be no Untertan, no God and no government
 If night will fall black shadows
 Are taking our sight
 We carry each other through the darkest
 Moments in life, stronger than hate
 Stronger than fear, stronger than all
 We are one
 Hail to the hordes
 We are one
 Hail to the hordes
 
 If night will fall black shadows
 Are taking our sight
 We carry each other through the darkest
 Moments of life, stronger than hate
 Stronger than fear, stronger than all
 We are one
 Hail to the hordes
 We are one
 Hail to the hordes
Let me take you down
 Deeper than you know
 Reality is gone
 Yet so much left to show
 Let me take you down
 Let us look inside
 There's still so much to come
 It's time to say goodbye
 
 Broken dreams
 Misery replaced by constant extasy
 Wide awake open wide
 existance of a better kind
 Waits for you waits for me
 Our minds become forever free
 Free of fear free of rage
 The coming of the Golden Age for all
 
 Let me take you down
 Let life fade away
 The ritual has begun
 Your life begins today
 Let me take you down
 Explore the other side
 Enlightened as we drown
 It's time to say goodbye
 
 Don't you turn around now
 Don't you be afraid now
 Just turn another page now
 Celebrate the Golden Age
