VOID FACTORY

|
Mad !
Your way of life is so futile.
Bad !
Your thoughts are so brutal.
As an undead army, they all walk, slowly
To reach an aim, meaningless,
A band of sheep never crossing the fence.
You have to show
Another way and new heroes
To write another story
Out of this void factory. (x2)
We're running out of time.
Stop ignoring the crime,
Overall stupidity, fatal avidity.
You have to show
Another way and new heroes
To write another story
Out of this void factory.
Wake up the mind, before it's too late.
You're not that blind, don't believe in fate.
Those pictures are fake, just data, not your friends.
See our sake far away from those trends.
Don't give a shit about what those bastards say,
Nature's turning to grey I won't resolve to prayer.
Before it's too late…
Don't believe in fate. (x2)
You have to show
Another way and new heroes
To write another story
Out of this void factory. (x2)

INTOLERANT
03:26
|
|||
|
If you cannot distinguish what's wrong or right
While resisting extremism is like do or die.
Your critical sense now out of sight,
You can't defend yourself against any global lie.
This empathy you feel is a weakness
Under the attack.
The liberty you give to this madness
Will stab you in the back.
Intolerant to intolerance.
Stop finding excuses to verbal abuses.
Intolerant to intolerance.
You respect all the dogmas even the most obscure,
Opposed to your values that will be called impure,
A blend of contradictions among what you defend.
Some choices never made will lead us to an end.
This empathy you feel is a weakness
After what you saw.
The liberty you give to this madness
Allows the hate to grow.
Intolerant to intolerance.
Stop finding excuses to verbal abuses.
Intolerant to intolerance.
Do or die !
Ostracize.
Stray from the path again.
New witches to burn
Are freedom to earn.
Always awake.
Domination through regression, against !
Be the impure. (x2)
Here and now the resistance,
Coherent existence.
Intolerant to intolerance.
Stop finding excuses to verbal abuses.
Intolerant to intolerance.

IN VAIN
03:02
|

|
Something is strange between you and me.
Can you hear ?
A lot of talking without any proof to see,
Feeding fear.
Close your eyes, don't look around,
We prefer blind men to fall to the ground.
You just need your fix of advertising,
Close your conscience to analyzing.
Can you see ? The world is crumbling.
My words failing, it can’t be retained.
People around me are drowning,
Trying to convince them in vain.
Like a fool, you're my tool.
Stay in line, everything's fine.
The way you die ? Nevermind !
Created process of my industry,
Your life is swallowed by my ministry.
Can you see ? The world is crumbling.
My words failing, it can’t be retained.
People around me are drowning,
Trying to convince them in vain. (x2)
See, there's sometimes,
You have to mind the gap.
Don't fall down into the trap.
Simple-minded men infecting other brains,
Idiots rule this planet
And make it come to an end.
Can you see ? The world is crumbling.
My words failing, it can’t be retained.
People around me are drowning,
Trying to convince them in vain. (x2)

THINK TWICE - MURDER ONE
03:27
|
|||
|
I’ve lost any trace of my soul.
The world I used to live in is gone.
Looking for a path, crawling down.
Am I the same now ?
Sometimes I’m a giant, I’m free.
In reality it's never me.
Another self, another life,
Give me that knife !
Someone inside to think twice,
A perverted mind, a murder one. (x3)
When memories are back in my dreams,
Adrenaline drives me to the worst extremes.
Inner rage rises,
Deeper in shameless abysses.
I have failed to heal myself,
Keeping my loved ones in distress.
Wandering among the lab coats,
More and more pills in my throat.
Someone inside to think twice,
A perverted mind, a murder one. (x3)
Don’t you know the way I feel ?
Now it’s time to liberate him.
Through the infinite illusion
I’ve found the reason to live :
The taste of blood,
Disgusting flood.
Everything is buried deep,
I think I’ve lost control.
Someone inside to think twice,
A perverted mind, a murder one.

BROKEN TIES
03:29
|
|||
|
Torn apart, rejected
By your own blood.
Lost child,
Born between love and hate.
Unfair situations.
So much anger to suppress.
How to survive these broken ties ?
Above the ashes, beyond the lies.
How to survive these broken ties ?
And from this void...
Conflicts of loyalty tear your soul apart.
How could you stop this madness ?
The scars open wide
Your heart missing the beats.
To whom will you turn your violence ?
Consequences unwanted
An inner revolt grows.
Lost child,
Trapped in this negative circle of life
With demons and ghosts.
How to survive these broken ties ?
Above the ashes, beyond the lies.
How to survive these broken ties ?
And from this void you shall rise.
Your foundations, the void under your feet,
The absence, the blank weeks and years.
No salvation, no one to wipe your tears
Your confidence is buried deep.
How to survive these broken ties ?
Above the ashes, beyond the lies.
How to survive these broken ties ?
And from this void you shall rise.
You can't split your bloodline in two.
Broken ties.
Broken ties.

Let's not pretend I'm here for your good.

Choosing my prey, old, small and weak,
Any good feeling is buried so deep.
I'll take your terror and make it concrete.
Death and despair lead my will.

My heart is dead, my blood runs black,

FAITH VERSUS REASON
03:24
|
|||
|
Theories based on quicksand
With consequences we abhor.
Same plague down the ages,
False idols to adore.
Inquisition in new forms
By unhealthy criminals.
Their unity reborn
To spread the darkest calls.
This is faith versus reason
In a world turned mad.
The ultimate treason
In these books of lies.
Beliefs conquer the weak mind,
Stop the thought and the doubt,
All answers simplified,
Intelligence to cut out.
Evolutions denied,
Knowledge can be blown off.
Behind psychotic minds :
Prophets of the void.
This is faith versus reason
In a world turned mad.
The ultimate treason
In these books of lies.
Too afraid to admit
It is men who wrote it,
Justifying your sins
With your “truth” spreading wings.
Bearing your bloody idol
Covering your path with filthy actions.
Bow down before your symbol
Governing men under death nation.
This is faith versus reason
In a world turned mad.
The ultimate treason
In these books of lies. (x2)

IN THESE GREY TIMES
03:30
|
|||
|
When few give a shit
And most don't even bother
Giving up is a thought that can occur.
Always try to rebuild
And make things concrete.
Electrify this body, chase away this false sleep.
In these grey times,
Passion and action combined.
In these grey times,
Because you've just got one life.
In these grey times,
Faithful to the darkness in light.
Let's fight ! Show me what you've got in these grey times.
Self-confidence !
Regaining some control
To keep the fire burning.
No one should give up, no one can sink.
And your voice won't die
and won't be left aside
To place art over mediocrity.
In these grey times,
Passion and action combined.
In these grey times,
Because you've just got one life.
In these grey times,
Faithful to the darkness in light.
Let's fight ! Show me what you've got in these grey times.
Self-confidence !
In these grey times,
Passion and action combined.
In these grey times,
Because you've just got one life.
In these grey times,
Faithful to the darkness in light.
Let's fight ! Show me what you've got in these grey times.
In these grey times,
Show me what you've got in these grey times.
In these grey times,
Show me what you've got in these grey times.

THE BERSERKERS' MASTER
04:20
|
|||
|
Pain is just an old thought,
I'm getting tougher, fighting from dusk till dawn,
My screaming enemies falling on their knees.
My reason collapses, my brain turned into ashes,
I'm ready to charge in the name of carnage,
My name rising up to the sky !
The berserkers' master
Asked for the blood to flow.
The berserkers' master !
The dancing blades awakening…
A shiver on their spines, I will drink my wine
In those fools' cranium, in the momentum
Betraying the fear in their eyes
Death is walking by my side,
The hammer breaking bones.
A step closer to the throne,
My name rising up to the sky.
The berserkers' master
Asked for the blood to flow.
The berserkers' master !
The dancing blades awakening…
The dancing blades awakening,
Original brutal instincts.
Nothing worse happening,
No fear of slaughtering.
Are you ready for annihilation ? Salvation ?
Conquering, power of a nation,
We'll bring war !
Running on the body of our friends, proud of them.
All the corpses in the muddy lands.
Hear the roar !
Putting one foot in front of the other,
The scars hidden by the shield.
Broken fates never remain on the battlefield.
The berserkers' master
Asked for the blood to flow.
The berserkers' master !
Quench his thirst now,
The berserkers' master
Asked for the blood to flow.

WITCHFINDER
03:16
|
|||
|
Solving mysteries in the streets of London,
From the East End to the swamps in Unland.
All secrets kept under a Royal Seal,
Keeping fiends at bay from humanity.
Fighting occult forces,
Duties filled to protect the Queen.
Committed in the Service of Angels
To spare us from all evil,
And around the corpse we hear people say :
« Witchfinder ! » (x8)
Asking for help from the spirits above
Communing with their concrete form.
Disincarnated flesh to reach the dead,
Make them speak to solve your case.
Hurt by a beast from an inner world,
An ancient slave gone up to the earth's surface.
Still haunting mankind to take revenge
And making the horror reign amongst men.
And around the corpse we hear people say :
« Witchfinder ! » (x8)
« Witchfinder ! » (x2)

WITH THE EYES OF REALITY
02:50
|
|||
|
No substitute for my condition,
No means to get away from these prison walls.
Others take pills to dive into a daily fog.
But I‘m gonna face reality to keep me alive
Because I don't want to anesthetize my brain
Just to escape my consciousness,
Lie to it and drown myself.
My mind is focused on what is real,
My thoughts are crystal clear.
Time doesn't pass faster
As the sun shines above my head,
I see the sky with the eyes of reality.
I decided to assume my judgement
and to serve my sentence.
I carry the weight of my faults so heavily on my shoulders.
The chemical escape is not my solution.
No one will stop me from being as lucid as I can.
Time doesn't pass faster
As the sun shines above my head,
I see the sky with the eyes of reality. (x2)
As I see ghosts around me returning to nothingness
I’d rather find my own ways to fall asleep
And to put up with this shit.
With the eyes of reality. (x2)

DEFILED
02:43
|

|
I've been stuck in your path,
Crawling under your domination.
I'm a victim of your wrath,
Abused and slaved, tasting your poison.
It is like my soul was burning in a shell,
That bloody piece of mine brings you down to hell.
Words are meaningless against this emptiness.
Blood doesn't define how I should live, fight or die.
Now it is time to blast the ties you've defiled.
Scratching the paper as I would tear my skin,
Trying to fill this void I'm feeling.
Full of yourself and lies, all of them denied.
No one believes you, damned fool !
Brotherhood is a word you do not understand
You've never figured out the price I paid.
Words are meaningless against this emptiness.
Blood doesn't define how I should live, fight or die.
Now it is time to blast the ties you've defiled.
Fighting against reality, nothing you do looks like the mainstream.
Living in a world in what you believe, strange mechanism with no self-esteem.
Fighting… nothing… with no self-esteem.
Blood doesn't define how I should I live, fight or die.
Now it is time to blast the ties you've defiled.
Blood doesn't define how I should live, fight or die !
