in flesh
in its simplicity
I have found my way

Elegance in black so cold
Elegance in black in me
Elegance in black so cold
Elegance in black in me

I make her a victim of my sick addiction
I close my eyes from her suffering
chronic deception in this empire of lust
no-one can hold this flame forever

cos' I can't help myself
I desire all in flesh
in its simplicity
I have found my way

Elegance in black so cold
Elegance in black in me
Elegance in black so cold
Elegance in black in me


2. Princess

I'm one of them
who have rejected traditional values of life
trusting in slaughtery, vanity and apathy
sucking my strength from other's weaknesses

When you think of me
you will remember from the scars of your soul
that I'm the man full of hell
born with unsound soul

I'm rising from filthiest ground
and you will pray with distorted sound

I am the one who can't forgive
I am the blade that helps you cut your wrists
I break your wings and crush your soul
I know the ways to hurt you

I'm rising from filthiest ground
and you will pray with distorted sound

I reform your thoughts
I rape devotion, erase emotion
Now you're lost, empty princess
staring at me

When you think of me
you will remember from the scars of your soul
that I'm the man full of hell
born with unsound soul

I'm rising from filthiest ground
and you will pray with distorted sound

I reform your thoughts
I rape devotion, erase emotion
Now you're lost, empty princess
staring at me, staring at me

Princess...


3. Triumph Of Misery

We come from north from the land of the thousand lakes
Only able to express ourselves with violence

Some of us waste their lives by drowning themselves in the bottle
Some of us live their lives saying nothing at all

It's not hard to see
that we're pleased to be
engaged to the circle of misery

We use no words to tell what is wrong with us
This desperate land needs its desperate ways

Some of us take the rope and hang themselves
Some of us live their lives avoiding that fall

It's not hard to see
that we're pleased to be
engaged to the circle of misery

Triumph of misery - that's all we have
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold land
Triumph of misery - that's all we have
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold...

Triumph of misery - that's all we have
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold land
Triumph of misery - that's all we have
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold land


4. Crusify

Beware, I'm here to despise your master
I am the human machine filled up with hate
You are crawling under his eyes
Your ignorance makes you suck his lies

I don't care if your god rejects me
I'm already failed in front of his eyes
I've lost my faith in religion,
in excuses and lies

I don't believe in those twisted tales
how Jesus is paying our sins with his blood
Amen! I owe you nothing
you sick, old and weak nazarene

From where comes the guilt that we
have to carry inside our hearts?
Nazarene, we should crusify you again
From where comes the guilt that we
have to carry inside our hearts?
Nazarene, we should crusify you again

My christ is unconcerned
deaf by lies
frozen from inside
Christ in me is DEAD

I will erase all his words from your heart
to make sure that the flame won't ever rise again
I release myself from your guilt
from those excuses and lies

From where comes the guilt that we
have to carry inside our hearts?
Nazarene, we should crusify you again
From where comes the guilt that we
have to carry inside our hearts?
Nazarene, we should crusify you again
From where comes the guilt that we
have to carry inside our hearts?
Nazarene, we should crusify you again
From where comes the guilt that we
have to carry inside our hearts?
Nazarene


5. The Art Of Self-Destruction

I say, watch me now deep into my eyes
to see how life is slipping away from my hands
So sick I feel inside this head
This suffering cannot be shared

I became the living icon of weakness
It burned emotions, made me reveal your lies
I'm the incarnation of suffering
I'm the harvester of your lies

Your lies make a man like me
close my eyes
your lies put the label of weakness in me

The art of self-destruction
I bury all my dreams
The art of self-destruction
I show the label of weakness in me
The art of self-destruction
I bury all my dreams
The art of self-destruction

The art of self-destruction
The art of self-destruction

Your lies make a man like me
close my eyes
your lies put the label of weakness in me

The art of self-destruction
I bury all my dreams
The art of self-destruction
I show the label of weakness in me
The art of self-destruction
I bury all my dreams
The art of self-destruction


6. The Beginning Of The End

A reflection of trauma pulls you under again
Your silent aggression turns to suicidal thoughts

Pain crawls without sound in your soul
Pain remains the same if your life goes on

All the glory of your life is slowly fading away
Your screaming inner voice, your crown of thorns

Pain crawls without sound in your soul
Pain remains the same if your life goes on

The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
Corrodes your soul
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
Corrodes your soul

I say:
Pain crawls without sound in your soul
Pain remains the same if your life goes on

The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
Corrodes your soul
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
Corrodes your soul
[Repeat verse]


7. Distorted

Shock is what you feel
when you see that you have to face all my sins

Truth always hurts, it's always painfull
and now it's too late to change my way

I am the years you lost
I am the tears you cry

Pride is dead in your soul
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Pray! That's all you can do...
That's all you can try out to heal the wounds that I caused

I am the years you lost
I am the tears you cry

Bleed...I'll make your soul bleed forever
Fear...I'll make your eyes blinded with fear
Bleed...I'll make your soul bleed forever
Fear...I'll make your eyes blinded with fear

Now take a look at yourself
Your suffering eyes are full of tears
It is time to let me go
Say goodbye to the life we once had

I am the years you lost
I am the tears you cry

Bleed...I'll make your soul bleed forever
Fear...I'll make your eyes blinded with fear
Bleed...I'll make your soul bleed forever
Fear...I'll make your eyes blinded with fear

Distorted Distorted
Distorted Distorted


8. Penetration

It all starts from a broken dream
from a memory of disgraced human body
Your raped mind is tasting a bit of humiliation
The spirit that makes you want some more

A need to raise the flame of desire
to make your soul complete, divine
Every time you have to go beyond the pain
That is the price that you have to pay

We make penetration into our souls
To purify our minds
We replace love with pain
to clear out sights for life

Penetration
We replace love with pain
Penetration

A need to raise the flame of desire
to make your soul complete, divine
Every time you have to go beyond the pain
That is the price that you have to pay

A need to raise the flame of desire
To make your soul complete, divine
In this game both roles dominate each other
But without one there is no other

We make penetration into our souls
To purify our minds
We replace love with pain
to clear out sights for life

Penetration
We replace love with pain
Penetration
to clear out sights for life


9. Core Of Lies

I am the lack of trust,
malformation of self-respect
I am cursed by internal void
I am re-designed organic lie

I'm not the one who can make your dreams come true
I leave scars, control all life
I'm your God now, as cold as ice
Read my lips, I'm the trigger for all pain

I am the seeds of hate,
mannequin of fear and corruption
I preach the words of scorn
I am your two faced God

I'm not the one who can make your dreams come true
I leave scars, control all life
I'm your God now, as cold as ice
Read my lips, I'm the trigger for all pain

I'm the core of all lies
self-destructively vain
core of all lies

I am the sound of rage
??
I feel no remorse
I'm reborn through your hate

I'm not the one who can make your dreams come true
I leave scars, control all life
I'm your God now, as cold as ice
Read my lips, I'm the trigger for all pain

I'm the core of all lies,
self-destructively vain
core of all lies

I'm the core of all lies

Core of all lies Core of all lies
Core of all lies Core of all lies
Core of all lies Core of all lies
Core of all lies Core of all lies


10. Dancing Queen

[Originally performed by Abba]

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn `em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Dig in the Dancing Queen
Dig in the Dancing Queen
Dig in the Dancing Queen
