Lyrics
Il est le survivant
Par latrocité, il sassimilera à ses opposants
Moi, lange gardien, dieu du subconscient
Tapi dans sa cage, je le contemple en suspens
Déchirant les parois de son abysse
Louragan se transforma en esquisse
Linvocation du maléfice
Un schéma pour la destruction
Un mantra pour une révolution
En chimère, je le transformerai
Et au trône, je le ferai régner
Laura transcenda finalement vers la lumière
Réclamant la terre promise du roi
Au-delà du combat de ces derniers chemins
Mes frères ne seront pas morts en vain
Il devint la cible de ces tyrans, ces loups assoiffés de sang
À lère des supplices, au règne des châtiments
Découlant de la chair des nouveaux nés, bête immonde gouvernant notre destinée
Il est le survivant
Par latrocité, il sassimilera à ses opposants
Moi, lange gardien, dieu du subconscient
Tapis dans sa cage, je le contemple en suspens
Déchirant les parois de son abysse
Louragan se transforma en esquisse
Linvocation du maléfice
Un schéma pour la destruction
Un mantra pour une révolution
Et en chimère, je le transformerai
Et au trône, je le ferai règner
Laura transcenda finalement vers la lumière
Réclamant la terre promise du roi
Au delà du combat de ces derniers chemins
Mes frères ne seront pas morts en vain ... du dernier essaim

Lyrical theme(s): Satan, darkness, death
Album: Divine Aeternum [2001]
Song: 08 - Hadak Ura
Lyrics
Nyugalom s béke honol
meddig a szem ellát
beteges szánalmas ikonok
légbõl kapott erő valótlan szentelt hazugság...
Csalfa látomás édesíti a létet
hazug áldomás élteti a népet
Ahol az álnokul legyőzött testvér vére
bosszúért kiált az égre
ott csap le a vihar kegyetlenül
minden csepp vért százszor megidézve
Készülnek a népek de minden hiába
a végzet eljön minden nyomorultra
indul a sereg mint vészfelhő az új honba...
Rik - harmonies
Minden lélek a vihart térdenállva várja
mint halálangyal vágtat Hadak ura...
Aminek jönnie kell jönni fog kegyelemért
esdekelnek de csak buzogány s kard szántják a tömeget
tüzes paták ezrei viszik Hadak urát...
Isteni a győzelem szívkínzó a búcsú
testvérekért kik elestek megtörtént a bosszú...
Lead - Rik, Johnson, István
Tábori tüzeknél imánk száll az égre
kinek földet áztatta a vére csillagúton szálljon
Hadúr nagy seregébe... Rise - Hadak Ura](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KpzbnenSt88/mqdefault.jpg)

Song: 04 - Subliminal Servitude
Lyrics
Humiliation sold by the pound
To shrewd narcotic kingpins and dealers of promised happiness
All brought to you by the architects
Of cathode ray reality as they properly fatten our delusions
Until they develop mouths of their own
Feed me. Inject the propaganda
Reduce their suffering through the somniferous radiation
Conceive another thoughtless carbon
Attenuation of empathy
Through force fed apprehension and principle
Manipulation of pulpous clay
Perspective and reason will perish and decay
Emissions of conformity
Subliminal slavery
Contempt!
Lying in disgrace is the mind that does not seek truth
Remove the blinders, unveil your eyes
Shed the skin anew
Ignorance is strength. Power in numbers
Plug into the network that destroys all subversive thought
Insubordination
Step in line
Conditioning instruments control your mind
Taxidermy, lifeless eyes
Disembodied, the bloods runs dry
Painted facade
Hate and greed dressed in disguise
Cause and effect
Stuff those holes with mesmeric diversion
Narcosis
How those ornaments dance and shine
Mystified by the serpentine
There are shocking new developments that you cant afford to miss
Nursing that fear into obedience
Oligarchy!
The power that slipped through the hands of the comatose masses
Into the few
Silenced!
Silenced is the voice of the ones who cant see through lies
Sacrifice my privacy because I need to feel safe
Okay then, you just wait
Till the lens is turned on you
Treated like a criminal
They watch everything you do
Youre sufficiently subdued
Subdued...criminal
The only way to rule is through force and intimidation
Through your weakness they stand to gain
Leaving a trail of poverty without blame
There are shocking new developments that you cant afford to miss
Holding onto our willful ignorance Anomalous - Subliminal Servitude](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MBj6VecRkOk/mqdefault.jpg)

Band: Descend Into Nothingness
Genre(s): Melodic Death Metal
Origin: Canada (Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec)
Album: Darkened Reality [2003]
Song: 04 - Dominated by the Disease
Lyrics
You wake up a morning
Have some stomac aches
Not important you tell yourself
And you stop thinking about it
Later that same day
You feel it once again
And its worst than ever
At that time you really start wondering
At the hospital
After a long check-up
The man in white sits down in front of you
And makes your worst nightmare a reality
Your heart is pumping at foul speed
You would prefer to ignore all this
But the pain refreshes your memories
Youre now stuck in the disease tornado
You return to your house to pack your stuff
And take a desperate look around
Knowing that it could be the last vision of your home
While the disease builds its own in your body
Dominated by the disease
Your only hope is to fight to survive
Even if you know that the victim is unlikely
You take the decision to engage in a long internal war
Feeling the Reaper close to you
You grip your heart to seize its last beat
Seeing your life behind
You ask yourself why so much suffering
And to dust your return...clueless... Descend Into Nothingness - Dominated by Desease](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MO5xYLiK3jg/mqdefault.jpg)

Song: 10 - Fainted Blue Ornaments
Lyrics
The acid reflux in my throat hasnt appeased my taste for bitter blondes
Ive twisted so many necks and now their souls daily blind my mind
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
Ill never achieve emotional numbness,
Nor will I enjoy a single peaceful rest
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
Your angelic hand touches my venomous spine
through overwhelming nightmares
I now stand under this Damocles dagger
Ill kill again to lighten apathy towards me
The amazing brightness that makes you so precious
and exceptional tears me apart
I need your presence but my shadow is tarnishing your radiance
I feel remorse but unfortunate events
make my world uglier this morning
Repentance hurts but not enough
Lets start again tonight Despised Icon - Fainted Blue Ornaments](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N2Uf8Q2Gg4k/mqdefault.jpg)
