Kreator Album

(M: Petrozza/Gosdzik/Fioretti/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú c Dark Wings)

(We thought we could use this live recording from Lichtenfels, Germany '92, to give you an impression of the energy exchange between us and our fans. that can only be created in a club or concert hall. No matter in which part of the world we play, it's always the universal language of metal music that connects us with people from all kinds of different cultural backgrounds. It might sound like a clich©, but to me it's one of the most precious gifts in life!!!)

Hypnotized by the masses
And a future torn apart
Angony, the final conflict
Hatred yet ignored
Love is colder than death
And in coldness we'll remain
Everlasting lies in chains

Destroying dreams against all norms
They spread it all across the earth
Dominion without a form
Winter martyrium

Dead civilization on a mission
Lead by gods
Etiquette creates a cause
To turn your back from life
Secrets never told before
Construct culture absurd
Hit you like a shellshock
As integrity has died

Destroying dreams...

Wide awake to the end
Wide awake to the end

Crisis and perpetual incest
Performance of a nameless act
Sadness takes your concentration
Individual cages that we face

Destroying dreams against all norms
They spread it all across the earth
Dominion without a form
Winter martyrium for masses
And a future torn apart
Agony, the final conflict
Hatred yet ignored

(Performed live in Lichtenfels)

Imperfection, new temptation
Innocence will breed new life
Disillusion, desperation
Free my mind and let it rise
Mass enslavement, brutal torment
Tomorrow will they see it clear
Resurrection, disconnection
Substance that can make us fly without fear
Without fear!

Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of your mind

Female's poison, male aggression
Distance to reality
Foreign places, fallen kingdoms
Always keep secrets from me
Subliminal, disciplinal
The art of lying lives on and on
As we struggle, as we suffer
Inferior to life renewal has begun

Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of our minds
Renewal of my mind

Renewal of my mind!

Isolation, illumination
Modern men embrace the light
War believers, peace deceivers
Remaining in eternal night
Politicians, fake musicians
Create no relationships
Hate frustrators, penetrators
Resistance from a path that should not exist

Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of my mind...
...of my mind!

Deluding in mystirium, innocent deliverance
Chosen minds are sailing, on waters of departure
Leaving spells of deceit, giving light to the blind
Dreaming with the war gods
Searching for the true bringers of life

Visions of tragedy, tearing you apart here
Their spirits following, about to begin this
Astral purgatory, screaming for the savior
Heavenly illusions burning
As they leave this darkened crypt behind

An aura in front of thee, reaches out for my hand
As tears fall from the trees, last days of freedom
Maybe I'm coming home, but should I get lost here
There's one thing guiding me
I won't be afraid to let it go

Reflection of rebirth
King god of the universe
Reflecting as you
Smell the ovens apocalyptic atmosphere
Perished nature harmony departed
I've got the feeling I know what you dream
Cryptic shadows darkening the screen

A different life's dimension
Watch them kill the world we used to know
Why am I the one that has to be there
Another life's reflection
Darker than the ones I've suffered through
Barricades that make us fear each other

No gods, no dictators
Don't force me to return
No gods, no frustration
Don't force me to return
To return

Enter the tragedy, as I stand in front of you
Take thy hand again, another spark of earth life
Over the continents, shadows getting closer
Darkening the firmament
Until you come and take them all away

Sounds of sirens echo through the black skies
Symphonies of sadness as, her soul cries
Cryptic shadows as the war is over
We shall not see the planet recover

Indication of the essence
Concentrating on mass submission
Crying race philosophy
Sacramental confidence
Discovered desire

Hesitant intelligence
Impersonate integrity
Aging trauma from the past
Depending on naivety
Personified tyranny

Seeds of distorted thoughts
Planted into the brains of us all

Burn the brain

In this cold world, we go on
Our generation
Won't support this system anymore

Panic spreads among the victims
Driven to absurd copulation
Magnetism leaves them passive
Sceptical towards awareness
Serial misfortune

Seeds of distorted thoughts
Planted into the brains of us all

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)

[No lyrics]

Dominance in devotion
Grabs us and disappears
Have to take some direction
Through the glass that we must break

Zero to none
Killing radical
The instinct to destroy what's left
Lives in everyone

All prepared for the moment
Yet to come complete the rest
Patriots all confused by
Characters of broken men

Zero to none
Killing radical
The instinct to destroy what's left
Lives on in everyone

A dream within a dream
A womb within a grave
Calm without a riot

Every heart, every soul, all the trust
Terror wars are radical

A dream within a dream
A womb within a grave
Calm within a riot

All the peace, all the hope, all the trust
As desperation takes everyone
God's hell is radical

[The announcement to "Europe....." on this live recording is an anti-racist, anti-Nazi statement that I thought should appear on this compilation even though - or maybe because - it's in German.]

Indecisive government
Regardless of brutal punishment
Indestructable regiment
Twice as many lives
Perversion never too bizarre
Can't remember who we are
Influenced us to get this far
Emotions paralyzed

Monotony provokes the escalation
Terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back together again
Leaving Europe after the rain

Acceptance of neo-fascist
Persecuting anarchists
Put the wrong ones on the list
Let the new age begin

Monotony provokes the escalation
Terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back they're going insane
Leaving Europe after the rain

Can't look at the world the way I did before,
Can't ignore they've all mutated into materialistic
parasites
Can't forget the pictures I saw on television
Can't close my eyes on this abstract spectrum
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Forcing them to support without asking
Imprisoned in factories for a lifetime
Reasons are becoming meaningless
Optimism leaves the bitter taste of hopelessness
Tomorrow I'll be gone

Monotony provokes the escalation
terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back they're going insane
Leaving Europe after the rain

A complex keeps the industries
In motion, for some new disease
Bound to those who still resist
Yet harder to find

Monotony provokes the escalation
terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back they're going insane
Leaving Europe after the rain

[Taken from the album "Renewal" ú 1992]

Ending all religions
Changes yet to come
Whole new situation
Fear became too strong
Send a spark of hatred
To where I cannot rest
My fate's depending on me
Pushed to the test

Depression unrest
As I watch the sky
The sparks will keep on falling
And I despise you now

Praying for forgiveness
Waiting for a sign
It cannot be forgotten
A symbol used to shine
Feel the spark of hatred
Spreading like some pest
Emotional mutation
Curse of the west

Depression unrest
As cultures die
The sparks will keep on falling
And I hate you now
