You can't say yes, you can't say no
You're living in a fascist world.
Violence is your point of view,
It always makes the best of you.

Freedom is a luxury
Of self induced hostility,
My back is up against the wall,
And everywhere dead men fall.
Efficiency - redundant fear but don't you see?
The power games that they play,
The methods which they put in your way.

"The charges aren't justified"

Violence is your point of view
It always gets the best of you.

Redundant fear but don't you see? - Efficiency

You don't get time to look around
You keep your face to the ground.

You can't say yes, you can't say no
You're living in a fascist world.

. . .


"Back against the wall, now!"
"Well, I don't need to stand for any of this shit!"

Cancel the time
Stop the disturbance,
Turn out the lights,
I don't want to see.
Shut down the mind
End all its functions
Destroy all the rules
Block all emotions.

Stop interference,
Just be cold.
Leave me alone -
I don't want it.
Find someone else, to be your slave
It's too late.

"Well, I don't need to stand for any of this shit"
"Hands against the wall now!"

The damage is done.

Throw out your thoughts
Start again.
Malicious redemption - the options are few.
Blow up the world
And start again.
Move through the night with caution.
The damage is done...

. . .


Burning from the inside
Working on the ground
Iceolate the problem
Don't let life bring you down
Seeing through the eyes of evil
Confusion takes a hold
Ignorance the sign of times
The lessons to be learned

Fight back
Bring down the fear
No control
All systems clear x2

masked killers rule the street
Victims all the same
Authorised by society
Misrule rules the world
If a certain look could kill
pain will be a trend
Indifference to the difference
They'll never end

Bringing down the enemy
You've got to break those chains
You've got the fear untold
Systems got to change

Fight back
Bring down the fear
No control
All systems clear x2

Erratic orders stain the world
Stricken with grief
Inferior conscience violates
Mutilates the mind

Fight back
Bring down the fear
No control
All systems clear x2

"Well I guess there's nothing for us to worry about,
We're the ones who've got control."

Look at all the fools
With their eyes sticking out
Backup, backup.

Deceived by the hype
They all want control
Backup, backup.

No tomorrow,
There's no life today
Backup, backup.

Decayed by the plague
Erosion starts
Backup, backup.

They find all their problems
Revenge is sweet
Backup, backup.

We'll steal your dreams,
Control your minds
Persecute the fools,
Left behind
The realm of the freaks,
Is to solve the demise
We'll ravage the poor,
Blinded by lies

Avoid all the victims
Who pray for power
Backup, backup.

The slaughter starts now,
Without a warning
Backup, backup.

The realm of the freaks,
Is to solve the demise
Backup, backup.

Backup, backup
Hold, hold their faith

Avoid all the victims
Who pray for power
Backup, backup.

"It is not safe to hope for the best, without preparing for the worst"
"Our image is not tarnished, we need not to become militaristic"

Sooner or later
We all pay the price
Backup, backup.

The shame and the pain of the mordant view
Backup, backup.

Corrosive devotion
The slate is cleansed
Backup, backup.

We'll steal your dreams,
Control your minds
Persecute the fools,
Left behind
The realm of the freaks,
Is to solve the demise
Ravage the lifeless,
Blinded by lies

Sooner or later
We all pay the price

We'll steal your dreams,
Control your minds
Persecute the fools,
Left behind.

"I don't think that..."
"Any means necessary for survival"
"Stick 'em up motherfucker..."
"I don't think that..."
"I don't think that the real violence has even started yet"
"Bwahahahahah"
"Stick 'em up motherfucker, this is a hold-up""

Deep inside the angle hurts
Rotation moves
The amber burns

Silently your hands are tied
Persuasion slowly slips inside
Stretching skin it has a burn
Sooner or later you will learn
Perversion

Inhibitions from within
The only thing we really want
Is sin / skin

Are you ready to believe
Are you ready to conceive

Are you ready to come
Are you ready to be one
Are you ready to come
Are you ready to be one

The leather cracks
You feel the heat
A hardening pulse
Is oh so sweet

The blindfold slips down
To your mouth
You taste the flesh
It makes no sound

The blade it skins
On your chest
Perverse illusion
Never rests
Within

"Any means necessary for survival"

Are you ready to believe
Are you ready to conceive
Are you ready to come
Are you ready to be one

This sado game
Is now for real
You suffocate
With fear of pain

The blood starts running
From your vein
The straps are tightened
For pleasured pain

Target

[No lyrics]

. . .


"Where am I? Am I dreaming or is this death? I'm dead, I think."

A grey, toxic rain
Starts to appear
No real life
Just human wasteland
All around...

Vapours of nerve gas
Fill the air
No natural light
No law
Or religion...

Mutants
Roam the earth
Covered by ruins
The stars are gone
Time is up...

This is another world
This is another world

There is no room
For existence
Nuclear warfare
The answer
To all our questions...

Prisoners
In their own lifeform
Support systems
Rave failed
Human disease

"Where are we? We're in my brain."
"You could call it the kinder, gentler lobotomy."

Nervous convulsion
Create grinding faces
Eyes are burning
Polluted noise
Splits ear drums...

"Just another dream. Oh, thank God."

. . .


"Jesus...had days like this"
"Cyborgs - cybernetic organisms..."

"Machines with living human tissue and programmed to destroy"
The silence is deafening
Regression hangs in the air
A motionless world sits waiting
For new codes

A war of technology
Threatens to ignite
Digital murder
The language of machines

Mesmerised by a decade of faith
Flowers and remorse
A fading vision lost in time
Tragedy on course

Synthetic conspiracy
Masters of the human race
The mind now knows
New levels of fear

Implanted brain cells
Control is gone
We seem to believe
Truth is regression

The tension shows
The tension shows

"A quantum leap forward"
"Full OCP binary cyborg technology"
"State of the art destructive capabilities"
"Commanded by a unique combination of software and organic systems"
"Jesus...had days like this"

The target we seek
Slowly comes into sight
The countdown begins
For launch into hell

The tension begins

"State of the art destructive capabilities"

The kill is swift
It makes no sound
Aggression take its toll
Rhythm of violence
Cuts through the air
There's no more control
The sky turns brighter, a evil red
Missiles fly through the air
Shattered dreams
Shattered hopes
There's bodies everywhere

"Bwahahaha"
"State of the art destructive capabilities"

. . .


Into precision
Into the light we fade
Into submission
We all hallucinate
Into the ground
We all dissipate
Into delusion
We all segregate

[Chorus:]
Amid all this confusion
We lose sight of the enemy
Like evil gods of destruction
They move through liquid transparency

Disposable heroes
Men of yesterday
Disposable heroes
Are never here to stay
Like gods of destruction
They seek to violate
Like machines of seduction
They will regenerate

[Chorus]

The countdown to certain extinction
Will now transform reality
Slowly the universe grows dark
You slip into a final dream

Into the wavelength
Comes conspiracy
Into the wavelength
A planet never free
In through the future
Times grows weak
Into the future
The strong will inherit the weak

[Chorus]

. . .


On to
On to the mindfield
Into
Into the hole
Chemical
Chemical cauldron
Location still unknown

Chorus:
Out of the tunnel, Into the light
World destruction, Now seems right
A barren landscape of burning hell
Within our dreams
We feel the spell

Watching
Watching their minds blow
Sinking
Lower than low
Hooded mutations
Ride by nights
Scouring the earth
For impure life
They seek they search
And will destroy
Immoral acts they will employ

Chorus

Constricting
Freedom of movement
Convulsing
Body in pain

Stigmatized by the
Sound of fear
The land is full of chemical tears
Communication has broken down
Exterminated body parts
On the ground

Chorus
