from the album "The Sickness"
VOICES
So, are you breathing now?Wake up, are you alive, will you listen to me?
I'm gonna talk about some freaky shit now.
Someone is gonna die when you listen to me.
Let the living die, say.
Are you breathing now?
Do the wicked see you, you still breathing?
You're making me known.
What's up? I wonder, why do you listen to me?
I'm gonna make you do some freaky shit now.
Insane, you're gonna die when you listen to me.
Let the living die, say.
(Can you imagine how good going through this will make you feel?
I promise, no one will ever know.
There will be no chance of you getting caught.
They never loved you anyway,
So come on, be a man, and do what you are compelled to do.)
Save me God.
I can hear the voice, but I don't want to listen.
Strap me down and tell me I'll be alright.
I can feel the subliminal need
To be one with the voice and make everything alright.
Are you breathing now?
Do the wicked see you, you still breathing?
You're making me known.
So, are you breathing?
So, do you breathe now?
THE GAME
Tell me exactly what am I supposed to do,Now that I have allowed you to beat me?
Do you think that we could play another game?
Maybe I could win this time.
I kind of like the misery you put me through.
Darling, you can trust me completely.
If you even try to look the other way,
I think that I could kill this time.
It doesn't really seem I'm getting through to you,
Though I see you weeping so sweetly.
I think that you might have to take another taste,
A little bit of hell this time.
Lie to me.
Is she not right? Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life in the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right? Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life now that she lied to me?
You always wanted people to remember you,
To leave your little mark on society.
Don't you know your wish is coming true today?
Another victim dies tonight.
Is she really telling lies again?
Doesn't she realise she's in danger?
The little bitch, she went and she told a lie,
And now she will never tell another a lie.
Never fucking lie to me!
STUPIFY
(Bringing you another disturbing creation of one sick cat who can't tell the difference, and gets stupefied.)I've been waiting my whole life for just one (fuck),
And all I needed was just one (fuck).
How can you say that you don't give a (fuck)?
I find myself stupefied, coming back again.
All I wanted was just one (fuck),
One tiny little innocent (fuck),
And when I feel like I'm shit out of (luck),
I find my stupefied, coming back again.
Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality?
I can feel it all start slipping, I think I'm breaking down.
Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality?
I can feel it all start slipping away.
See, but I don't get it.
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit?
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it?
I get stupefied.
It's all the same, you say live with it.
All the people in the left wing, rock.
And all the people in the right wing, rock.
And all the people in the underground, rock.
I find myself stupefied, coming back again.
All the people in the high rise, rock.
And all the people in the projects, rock.
And all the jente in the barrio, rock.
I find myself stupefied, coming back again.
(If I fail...)
Don't deny me, no, baby, now, don't deny me,
Darling, don't be afraid.
Look in my face, stare in my soul, I begin to stupefy.
DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing,Broken, your servant, I kneel.
Will you give in to me?
It seems what's left of my human side is slowly changing in me.
Will you give in to me?
Looking at my own reflection, when suddenly it changes, violently it changes.
There is no turning back now; you've woken up the demon in me.
Get up, come on, get down with the sickness.
Open up your hate and let it flow into me.
Madness is the gift that has been given to me.
I can see inside you; the sickness is rising.
Don't try to deny what you feel.
Will you give in to me?
It seems that all that was good has died and is decaying in me.
Will you give in to me?
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes, living with these changes.
The world is a scary place now that you've woken up the demon in me.
Get up, come on, get down with the sickness.
Open up your hate and let it flow into me.
Madness is the gift that has been given to me.
And when I dream...
Madness has now come over me.
VIOLENCE FETISH
Bring the violence, it's significant to the life if you've ever known anyone.Bring the violence, it's significant to the life, can you feel it?
How do you sleep when you live with your lies, out of your mouth, up from your mind?
That kind of thinking starts a chain reaction, you are a time bomb ticking away.
You need to release what you're feeling inside, let out the beast that you're trying to hide.
Step right up and be a part of the action, go get your game face on, because it's time to play.
You're pushing and fighting your way, you're ripping it up.
Bring the violence, it's significant to the life if you've ever known anyone.
Bring the violence, it's significant to the life, can you feel it?
How do you live without playing the game? Sit on the side and expect to keep sane.
Step right up and be a part of the action, come get a piece of it before it's too late.
Take a look around, you can't deny what you see; we're living in a violent society.
Well, my brother, let me show you a better way, so get your game face, on because it's time to play.
Tell me what am I supposed to be, another goddamn drone?
Tell me what am I supposed to be, should I leave it on the inside?
Tell me what am I supposed to be, another goddamn drone?
Tell me what am I supposed to be, should I get ready to play?
FEAR
Reject, are you no one? Fear you nothing?You know, I bet you think you have a good reason
To be living in the limelight of the fortunate ones:
You're too weakened by the poison that they feed you in the living lie.
They don't believe you, call to no one, trust in nothing, little impotent one.
I don't want to be innocent, you know.
I don't want to be, I don't want to let them hypnotise me.
Punkass, are you listening? Can you hear me?
Or are you deaf and dumb to my language?
Do the real words seem to hurt you?
Well, put em up, motherfucker.
Gonna feel it when I stamp it on your forehead,
So you will never forget that you're a reject
And you're no one, and you're nothing, little impotent one.
I don't want innocence, you know.
I don't want to be, I don't want to let them hypnotise me.
Fear awaken, go with it now and let it overcome you.
Fear awaken, your mind is racing.
I don't understand why you don't like me.
Why don't you like me? Am I so different from you?
Now, does it scare you that I'm able to discern
What to love and what to burn?
I'll add your fuel to the fire now.
Stand back, brother, take your hand back,
Leave it and I might crack more than a smile or two, you see.
Don't judge what you don't understand.
You can't deny what has been given to me.
NUMB
Bleeding, I'm crying, I'm falling, I'm bleeding now.Bleeding now, I'm crying out, I'm falling down and I'm feeling nothing
Like laughing now, I'm stopping now, I'm reaching out and I'm feeling nothing.
You've created a rift within me.
Now there have been several complications that have left me feeling nothing.
I might say you were wrong to take it from me, left me feeling nothing.
Crawling now, I'm beaten down, I'm tortured now, and I'm feeling nothing
Like hunting now, I'm stalking now, I'm reaching out, and I'm killing nothing.
I can feel you ripping and tearing and feeding and growing inside of me.
I want this more than you know.
I need this. Give it back to me.
You've created a rift within me.
You are the cause of these horrid complications that are
Ripping and tearing and feeding and growing inside of me.
WANT
Your mind won't let you say that you want me.Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want.
You howl and wail like a banshee,
Still your mind won't ever let you say.
Your mind won't let you say that you want me.
Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want.
My little tired devotee, your mind don't even let you feel.
Quivering now, shivering now, withering.
Your mind won't let you say that you're wondering now, pondering now, hungering,
Won't let you say that you're questioning, wavering, weakening,
Your mind won't let you say that you're hearkening, listening, heeding me now,
Won't let you say that you want.
Your mind won't let you say that you want me.
Your mind won't ever, never let you have what you want.
I feel your hunger to taste me, still your mind won't ever let you say.
Your kind is just the type that should use me,
But your mind won't seem to let you have the opportunity to abuse me.
Your mind won't even let you feel.
Savour the addiction, savour the affliction, savour me.
Because your mind won't let you say that you want me.
What do you want?
CONFLICT
You are enemy, you are my hated enemy, I am enemy, number-one-rated enemy.I'm labelled enemy, I am your mortal enemy, my actions, enemy, make me your bitter enemy.
All the world around, enemy, they're tearing up the ground, enemy,
They're drawn in by the sound, enemy, I must eliminate my enemy.
Your people, enemy, my people's hated enemy, what are you, enemy, though a created enemy?
Terminate the enemy, eradicate the hated enemy, I am an enemy, my very greatest enemy.
You try to tell me that you love life, then find another way to kill life.
Wanting, love life, needing, kill life, enemy.
SHOUT2000
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without.Come on, I'm talking to you, so come on.
In violent times you shouldn't have to sell your soul.
In black and white, they really really ought to know.
Those wondering minds who took you for a working whore,
Kiss them goodbye, you shouldn't have to jump for joy.
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without.
Come on, I'm talking to you, so come on.
They give you life and in return you gave them hell.
As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale.
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without.
Come on, I'm talking to you, so come on.
Will you never shout? I feel it building, are you ever gonna let it all out?
And when you've taken down your guard,
If I could change your mind, I'd really like to break your heart.
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without.
Come on, I'm talking to you, so come on.
DROPPIN' PLATES
You said it couldn't be done,Told me that it's the kind of battle that just couldn't be won.
You know, you're too sick, too hard, too fucked in the head.
You'll never make it, no, not in this lifetime.
Well, guess again, my friend, don't act surprised.
We got the bass drum kick that will blow out your eyes.
Cause when you hear this shit you'll get to stepping,
Gonna fight the war and use my music as a weapon.
You know I'm talking about recognition.
You know I'm talking about vindication.
Another goddamn slap in the face.
Don't want to give us a place, are you afraid?
Well fear this, cause I'm breaking through the walls of your nightmare.
Wake up, time to die.
The way I'm living, there is no compromising it.
Better get ready for another surprise and it
May leave a mark because I'm coming in fast,
Planting thoughts in your mind and dropping plates on your ass.
Well, here I come, I'm dropping plates on your ass, bitch.
You never mind and you don't need this.
Well, on your mark, here we go again.
Well, nevermind cause you're not number one.
You're too hard and from the other side.
I think it's time to bring it home again, right to me.
You know I'm talking about recognition.
You know I'm talking about vindication.
Here I come, I'm dropping plates on your ass.
MEANING OF LIFE
I want to get psycho, run, you little bitch,I want your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot meaning of life.
It's not enough to have a little taste;
I want the whole damn thing, now can you dig it?
Need to get psycho, want to hear you say it,
Say you want it, need it, don't want to wait until we finish the show.
It's not enough, you hunger for more.
You're one twisted little fuck and now you want to get psycho with me.
Give in, give in, decide.
I want to get psycho, scratch my itch,
Give me your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot meaning of life.
It's not enough to have a little piece;
I want the whole damn thing, now can you dig it?
Need to get psycho, want to hear you scream.
Tell me to take you, scare you, fuck you after we finish the show.
It's not enough, you listening whore.
You're one twisted little fuck and now you want to get psycho with me.
Give in, give in, decide.
I can feel the blood flowing through my veins, spilling on my soul,
And now the hunger's getting bigger.
Come a little closer now, pretentious whore, and pull my trigger.
Free the violence that is building in me.
I say now end of the ride, murder-suicide is how I've been feeling lately.
Come a little closer now, pretentious whore,
I'm reeling with a feeling that I can't ignore.
The need to get psycho is not a question to me.
I want to get psycho.
from the soundtrack to "Dracula 2000"
A WELCOME BURDEN
Heavy, you want it heavy?Welcome to my world, feel the weight of anger riding down.
Heavy, I want it heavy.
Welcome to my world, feel the weight of anger riding down again.
Gather your pathetic masses and bring them to me,
To a world devoid of light, to another time, to another place.
And then the broken ones taste my misery.
Rip away the disguise and remember your lies that you find.
The truth is sickening.
We don't need to change, not really; I kind of like it ugly.
Lay it mean, it binding, seething, blinding, screaming.
Heavy, you want it heavy?
Welcome to my world, feel the weight of anger riding down.
Heavy, I want it heavy.
Welcome to my world, feel the weight of anger riding down again.
Gather your psychotic masses and bring them to me,
To a world devoid of sanity, another time and another place,
And then the violent ones crave calamity.
Rip away the disguise and remember your lies that you find.
The truth is sickening.
We don't need to change, not really; I kind of like it ugly.
Lay it mean, it binding, seething, blinding, screaming.
The race of the mother culture is thickening.
The rape of the mother culture is nearing.
The face of the mother culture is sickening.
The rape of the mother is the loving I need.
Bleeding now...
Heavy, you want it heavy?
Welcome to my world, you're riding down.
Heavy, I want it heavy.
The weight of anger riding.
from "WWF Forceable Entry"
GLASS SHATTERS
Step up, cause you're the next one in line for the kill;You don't believe it, but I'm betting that you will.
Stand up, I'll let you live a little bit with the pain that I bring,
You know its only the beginning.
I'm breaking the living inside you,
Stop thinking someone to hide you.
I'm breaking the living inside you,
Don't run away, bring it on, straight to me.
from the soundtrack to “Queen of the Damned”
FORSAKEN
I’m over it, you see I’m falling in the vast abyss,Clouded by memories of the past, at last I see.
I hear it fading, I can’t speak it or else you will dig my grave.
You feel them finding, always winding, take my hand now, be alive.
You see, I cannot be forsaken because I’m not the only one.
We walk amongst you, feeding, raping.
Must we hide from everyone?
I’m over it, why can’t we be together, embrace it?
Sleeping so long, taking off the mask, at last I see.
I hear it fading, I can’t speak it or else you will dig my grave.
You feel them finding, always winding, take my hand now, be alive.
You see, I cannot be forsaken because I’m not the only one.
We walk amongst you, feeding, raping.
Must we hide from everyone?
from the album “Believe”
PRAYER
Another dream that will never come true just to complement your sorrow.Another life that I’ve taken from you, a gift to add onto your pain and suffering.
Another truth you can never believe has crippled you completely.
All the cries you’re beginning to hear, trapped in your mind and the sound is deafening.
Let me enlighten you; this is the way I pray.
Living just isn’t hard enough, burn me alive inside.
Living my life’s not hard enough, take everything away.
Another nightmare about to come true will manifest tomorrow.
Another love that I’ve taken from you, lost in time on the edge of suffering.
Another taste of the evil I breed will level you completely.
Bring to life everything that you fear, live in the dark and the world is threatening.
Let me enlighten you; this is the way I pray.
Living just isn’t hard enough, burn me alive inside.
Living my life’s not hard enough, take everything away.
Return to me, leave me no one, turn to me, return to me, cast aside.
You’ve made me turn away.
LIBERATE
Liberate your mind, you motherfucker, you’re so narrow minded.Liberate your mind now, motherfucker, will you liberate your mind this time?
Bold motherfucker, don’t you limit your mind.
Can’t you see that the pace has just fallen behind?
All the hate in your heart will be leaving you blind,
So bold motherfucker, don’t you limit your mind this time.
Waiting for your modern messiah to take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye, still awaiting I...
Out of Zion shall come forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Nation shall not raise sword against nation, and they shall not learn war anymore,
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.
AWAKEN
Stripped of life, alone in the midst of something thatI want to play with your evil inside, wanting, letting go of what never could be again.
Lost and alone, imprisoned now inside your mind.
With the way you tried to destroy me again,
You were waiting and living for no one.
With the way you tried to completely refuse all your life.
Awaken you with a little evil inside,
Feed on your nothing, you’ll never live up to me.
I’ve stricken you, I don’t want to live with the lie.
Feed on your nothing and you’ll never live up to me.
There isn’t a thing that I can do, watching this whole thing just wash away,
Making me long, making you strong.
BELIEVE
Believe when you lie, you will never need to recognise yourselfTo deceive, to remove all chance of doubt and be received with your lie.
The deception is complete when you concede and decide
To reject your lives sacrificed to me; penance can’t absolve your sin.
All your belief cannot absolve your sin.
Believe when you lie, you will never need to recognise the source of deceit.
To renew your faith in God you must believe in your lie,
The redemption is complete when you conceive and decline
To release your lives sacrificed to me; penance can’t absolve your sin.
All your belief cannot absolve your sin.
Reap your life like you want to recognise all you’ve come to.
Reap your life veiled in shadow, recognise faces of the crucified.
I can hear their screams tonight, ever haunting me.
Burn your lie into me; penance can’t absolve your sin.
All your belief cannot absolve your sin.
REMEMBER
Sensation washes over me, I can’t describe it.Pain I felt so long ago, I don’t remember.
Tear a hole so I can see my devastation.
Feelings from so long ago, I don’t remember.
Holding on to let them know what’s given to me,
To hide behind the mask this time and try to believe.
Blind your eyes to what you see, you can’t embrace it.
Leave well enough alone and don’t remember.
Cut your pride and watch it bleed, you can’t deny it.
Pain you know you can’t ignore, I don’t remember.
Holding on to let them know what’s given to me,
To hide behind the mask this time and try to believe.
If I can remember, to know this will conquer me.
If I can just walk alone and try to escape into me.
INTOXICATION
Now you tell me you like it, you tell me you want it,You’re mine and you don’t need another one.
Come on and tell me you like it, tell me you want it,
You’re mine and another one to me.
You’re mine and the world will get you high.
What can you take from me? That which you cannot buy:
Exhilaration, laughing and turning away.
What will you take from me now that you are inside?
Intoxication, now are you feeling enough to vilify what I love,
To sanctify all I hate, endowed with the need to carry of the life I lead?
RISE
Rise, throw away the charade of your life,Let the flame of my heart burn away your complacence tonight.
I command you to rise, wash away the decay of your life,
Feel the light of your eyes find the way through the darkness tonight, fearing no one.
Do you really think I covet like you do?
Come, take me away, remove the fear from my eyes.
Feel the flame of my heart burning away all conversation tonight, fearing no one.
Am I precious to you now?
Now rise, turn away from the shame of your life,
Feel the light from my eyes offering consolation tonight, fearing no one.
Do you really think I want it like you do?
Come, take me away, remove the fear from my eyes.
Feel the flame of my heart burning away all conversation tonight, fearing no one.
Am I precious to you now?
I cannot stop this pure emotion falling from my eyes.
You are vindicating, liberating, saviours of my soul.
MISTRESS
(My mistress.)I stand on the brink of your mind, living inside a nightmare from which I just cannot awaken.
Stand on the edge of your life, just give me another moment from which I will never awaken.
Stand on the brink of my own demise, fallen again for another mistress of burden to idolise,
Hoping that one of them will decide to let me in.
To stand on the edge of the knife, cutting through the nightmare from which I just cannot awaken.
Stand on the edge of the night, living inside a moment from which I will never awaken.
Stand on the brink of my own demise, fallen again for another mistress of burden to idolise,
Hoping that one of them will decide to let me in.
Look at what you’ve done to me, you’ve become my enemy,
Poisoning the world for me, take away my everything, weakened as I am.
Stand on the brink of my own demise, fallen again for another mistress of burden to idolise,
Hoping that one of them will decide to let me in.
BREATHE
You will release your life, forgetting what’s forsaken.The reason why you are alone again, you will believe the lie, judging from what you’ve taken,
You breathe, alive, you are alone again.
From the heart of darkness, you call to me, spirit raging on.
There is nothing I can do, for you are next to no one.
You will release your life, joining with the goddamned world of the dead and the lonely.
You’ll never leave alive, now do you think you’re too damn good for the killing kind?
You will release your life, forgetting what’s forsaken.
The reason why you are alone again, you will begin to cry, hearing the silence breaking.
You breathe, alive, but you are alone again.
BOUND
Darkness, cover me.I’m not ready to die, girl, because of what you don’t tell me.
I’m not ready to walk inside of where you’re taking me.
I’m not ready to die, girl, because of what you don’t tell me.
I’m not willing to compromise the man I want to be.
Think you’re a little bit closer to changing me?
You’re never winning me over, you’re wasting time.
Leave me be.
I’m not ready to die, girl, because of what you don’t tell me.
I’m never going to toe the line of your conformity.
I’m not ready to die, girl, because of what you don’t tell me.
I’m not ready to leave the realm of anonymity.
Think you’re a little bit closer to changing me?
You’re never winning me over, you’re wasting time.
Get away from me.
DEVOUR
Still enough, although I know you’re not begging.Still as the thoughts running through your mind.
Still enough, although I know you’re not begging.
Give me a reason to make you mine.
I will devour you, take all the pain away.
I cannot stay my hand from reaching out so that I can empower you for all eternity.
It seems to ease my mind to know that you’ve brought meaning to my life.
Had enough, although I see you’re not running.
Still are the thoughts running through your mind.
Dead to love, the path that you are now taking,
Show me the reason to make you mine.
I will devour you, take all the pain away.
I cannot stay my hand from reaching out so that I can empower you for all eternity.
It seems to ease my mind to know that you’ve brought meaning to my life.
Run to where the smallest ray of light will never find you.
Run to where you will not need to shield your eyes.
Run away from all the soulless, heartless fiends who hound you.
Run away and let your memories go blind
When I devour you, take all the pain away.
I cannot stay my hand from reaching out so that I can empower you for all eternity.
It seems to ease my mind to know that you’ve brought meaning to my life.
DARKNESS
Don’t turn away, I pray you’ve heard the words I’ve spoken,Dare to believe for one last time, and then I’ll let the darkness cover me,
Deny everything, slowly walk away to breathe again on my own.
Carry me away, I need your strength to get me through this.
Dare to believe for one last time, and then I’ll let the darkness cover me,
Deny everything, slowly walk away to breathe again on my own.
