ugh
I’m freely floating
I’m freely floating
I freely float away
I’m freely floating
I’m freely floating
I freely float in fear
And in the end i will melt
Become like everyone else
But now i am solid
but now i am hard
in the end i will melt
become like everyone else
but now i am solid but now i am hard
run me over and i break u apart
Break u apart
you can not judge me
90 percent is under the surface
the heaviest parts of me
are buried in icy water
I am an iceberg
You don’t know me
I am an iceberg
Nothing burns more like the cold
I am an iceberg
I’m floating free
I am an iceberg
a massive piece of white gold
I am an iceberg
you don’t know me
I am an iceberg
nothing burns more like the cold
I am an iceberg
i’m floating free
I am an iceberg
a massive piece of white gold
you can not judge me
you can not judge me
And in the end i will melt
become like everyone else
but now i am solid
but now i am hard
in the end i will melt
become like everyone else
but now i am solid but now i am hard
run me over and i break apart

you need to check your head man, i really think you do
the stuff you say and think can’t believe this shit is
true, so much bullshit
so much rage, you clearly don’t have a clue
don’t they see Serpent’s tongue
you disgust me Serpent’s tongue
leave me be Serpent’s tongue,
you can’t fool me Serpent’s tongue,
Serpent serpent
Serpent Serpent’s tongue
Serpent serpent
Serpent Serpent’s tongue
Walking with the hooves of the devil
all things slowly go to hell
Humanity’s future seems uncertain
if we keep believing
the shit you tell.
You are king of the assholes True lord of the rotten
hatespreader, lie teller, shit talker
soon to be forgotten.
Ugh
Straight into the arms of oblivion
Straight into the arms of oblivion
don’t they see Serpent’s tongue
you disgust me Serpent’s tongue
leave me be Serpent’s tongue,
you can’t fool me Serpent’s tongue,
Serpent serpent
Serpent Serpent’s tongue
Serpent serpent
Serpent Serpent’s tongue

living room
living room blues
living room
living room blues
my living room makes me feel blue
it makes my sadness bloom
living room
living room blues
Sitting in my room, staring at these memory-filled walls
I know I need to get my life back on track
It feels like I’m in a desert , searching for waterfalls
But I'm doing nothing, just waiting, for the energy I lack
I feel immobilized and paralyzed
Don't consider many things worthwhile
Need to get this fear neutralised
And see the world, isn't only vile
Need to find a way to get things of my chest
Got a constant feeling that people are frowning
No one sees that I try my very best
I'm not waving here, I'm drowning
I feel immobilized and paralyzed
Don't consider many things worthwhile
Need to get this fear neutralised
And join the world outside

Cancer spread now Lemmy is dead how is that for an end
end of a year
We're up to a new start and
and I’ve fear in my heart for 366ICK days
366ICK,366ICK,366ICK days
366ICK,366ICK,366ICK days of shackles and chains
what’s up with all these soldiers on the street ,what's up,
holding smartphones and Ak 47's
What's up with all these suits
pointing fingers, what's up,
won't admit their own mistakes
what's up with blowing up
bodies what's up,
worthless cause build upon lies
what’s up with humans fearing humans what's up,
refuse to share anything
fear is growing lockdown lock the city down state of terror
what a great start
and I still have fear in my heart for 366ICK days
366ICK,366ICK,366ICK days
366ICK,366ICK,366ICK days of shackles and chains
aaaaaaaah
what’s up with 2016
what’s up with 2016
what’s up with this fucking
world

There’s this voice inside my head
When it speaks it creeps
When it speaks it creeps my mind
It’s like knives in my head like knives in my head
When it speaks, slashing my self away
It’s like knives in my head like knives in my head
When it speaks, cutting in my confidence
My constant search for the truth
Makes me deal with this distrust
This voice comes raging at me
When i am at my lowest point
It’s like knives in my head like knives in my head
When it speaks, slashing my self away
There’s this voice inside my head
When it speaks it creeps
When it speaks it creeps my mind
head knives coming at me head knives
head knives coming at me head knives
it’s like knives in my head like knives in my head
when it speaks, slashing my self away
it’s like knives in my head like knives in my head
when it speaks, cutting in my confidence
when i am convinced of something
it wants to turn it around
always questioning my feelings
for fuck’s sake fucking head knives
for fuck’s sake fucking head knives
for fuck’s sake fucking head knives
for fuck’s sake fucking head knives

EVIL PRESENCE
04:02
|
|||
|
Walk in the dark,fear of collapse
No direction,surrounded by traps
Evil is playing with my senses
Need to run over my defences
Black creature
in front of me
Lurking out of darkness
impossible to see
Demon witch
crawly creepin
No sound at all
silently peeping
I sense a darkness, but I’m nightblind,
An evil presence and dark mind
Will she attack
or leave me alone?
She’s coming closer,
have to move on
I sense a darkness, but I’m nightblind,
An evil presence and dark mind
Shivering body, chill in my bones,
Pushing my mind, I’m almost home
Have to move on, no time to stand still
Pushing forward, to the top of the hill
An open space surrounded by black
Pumping nerves for an imminent attack
There’s no escape, nowhere to hide
Gotta get my hands dirty no time for pride
Need eyes on the back of my head
One mistake and there will be death
I sense a darkness, but I’m nightblind,
An evil presence and dark mind
Shivering body, chill in my bones,
Pushing my mind, I’m almost home

The greatest the greatest the greatest gift of all
I don't know how to use it but I don't want to lose it
oh no !
Show me how to live, show me how to live
I don't want to be dead before I die
Show me how to live, show me how to live
I want to drain all the tears I cry
The greatest the greatest the greatest gift of all
I try and I try while years are passing me by
Let’s go !
Show me how to live, show me how to live
I don’t want to be numb with regrets
Show show me how to live, show show me how to live
Take me from this path of distress
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live
It should have killed me or set me free
Still fighting for who I want to be
The greatest gift of all
Come to me.

GODLESS
02:44
|
|||
|
there will be plague and punishment , brought by nature
while most are hoping for forgiveness, from the gods
it is easy to blame ‘this something else’ , for our failure
why put your whole life in the hands, of these frauds
your holy preaches don’t bother me
I am godless i am free
your ancient books can’t affect me ( Don’t apply to me )
I am godless i am free
don’t try to impress
you’re making a mess
there is no guy
who lives in the sky
religion is a mistake
made by mankind
burn the cross
he is not one of us
It is hard enough to believe in yourself
then why waste time on ‘this something else’
your holy preaches don’t bother me
I am godless i am free
your ancient books can’t affect me
I am godless i am free
don’t try to impress
you’re making a mess
there is no guy
who lives in the sky
religion is a mistake
made by mankind
burn the cross
he is not one of us
we need to make ourselves godless
don’t repeat history but make yourself free
no religion can control your life’s success brake the chains and become GODLESS

2016 MENTALITY
01:59
|
|||
|
we are suffering
from a 20-16 mentality
They say there are no dumb questions
but man you make the exception
Use your brain for once
and ask yourself is this worth to mention
you are king you are king
you are king i fucking know you are king
you are always right you are always right
you are always right i fucking know you are
Don't use your hands don't use your hands
eyes and brain should be enough to explain
I am busy I am doing my best
what gives u the right to bury that attitude in my chest
you are king you are king
you are king i fucking know you are king
you are always right you are always right
you are always right i fucking know you are
enough with this 20 16 mentality
you are king, that doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole
you are always right, that doesn’t mean you have to disrespect me

THE RAPE CONTINUES
04:17

overconsumption make it stop
ocean trash make it stop
soil pollution make it stop
melting icecaps make it stop
make it stop make it stop
make it stop make it stop
stop and think act as one
we need to act as one
all over the world there’s been a lack of political action
to address these environmental problems
we can’t sit and wait for our leaders to bring the solution
we need to act as one to finally stop the rape
I told u once and i’ll say it again
nevertheless the rape continues
stop pretending everything is fine
change your life or humanity will lose
did not create and cannot control
wound her for our own satisfaction
mistakes we are making are forever and ever
stop and think we need to act as one
the rape continues we need to act as one
the rape continues we need to act as one
the rape continues we need to act as one
we all must pay the debt of nature
last generation who truly can save her
we need to stop small-minded people
how they continue to harm her future
we ignored her for too looong
that we forgot she is our saviour
if we want to survive
stop and think, she’s the remedy
I told u once and i will say it again
nevertheless the rape continues
stop pretending everything is fine and
change your life or humanity will lose
did not create and cannot control
wound her for our own satisfaction
mistakes we are making are forever and ever
stop and think we need to act as one
if we want to continue to live this way we have to kill her
but when she dies we die
we don’t need gods or masters
the only thing we should worship is our mother earth
because without nature we are nothing
we will not survive
we will not survive

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 12 fans who also own “20LASTCENTURY”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
