This is the most brutal album ever released by APOCALYPSE
and surely one of the most brutal records ever made at all.
It is heavy and fast as hell, and with its martial aesthetic, hard and pounding
drums, killer guitar tone, brutal riffs, face-melting guitar solos, insane screaming
vocals and twisted lyrics it is guaranteed to feel like a big steel spade
slammed right into your face, and it surely is a punch in the
stomach for all sensible and politically correct crybabies out there.
If you're one of the latter category, steer the fuck away from this record,
'cause you might get upset!
1. Apocalypse
I wander without hope on this dead world
A cold wind blows and flails me hard
I feel the death of love and soul
I see the ruins of peace and beautiful
I see the freezing gazes of people
People without eyes, people without hearts
The mighty sent our destinies to the slaughter
A dark tomorrow is coming closer
A black Sun is rising
The darkness is coming
All hope is dying
Grab your things and run away
Run if you want to survive
Fight if you want to stay alive
2. A Game To Die
In tight and tidy lines you march behind your flag
With years of domination forced to learn respect
Does not matter your grade, like in the game of chess
You're just a fickin' pawn in the mighty's hands
​
Fight, kill, dominate, to gain
Supremacy, honor, pride
War is just a fuckin' game to Die
​
At the command of the great ones you engage in war
Fighting, striving, suffering for ideals that aren't yours
Indoctrinated and brainwashed, a number with no rights
You're a killing machine to slay, destroy and fight
Fight, kill, dominate, to gain
Supremacy, honor, pride
War is just a fuckin' game to Die
3. War and Death
The raid siren does sound the alarm
Shells and planes approach from afar
Wings cut through the air and clouds
Charged with fire of Holocaust
In the crowded shelters they all cry
As death falls down from the sky
But in uniform you have to fight
Reach the artillery, shoot, kill or die
​
Kill or die!
​
Blood from the vein, suffering and pain
The landmine that tears you in two, dismembered and left to die
Tortured and slain, mind gone insane
Shells that explode on you and leave your chest open wide
​
War and death!
​
Creep 'n' run in the fuckin' mud
Trampling on bones, flesh and blood
Countless young men torn apart
Fear now strikes your pounding heart
You suffocate in spreading gas
Steel deformed, limbs burned to ash
Shells and bullets above you in the sky
Now you're struck, now bleed 'n' die
​
Bleed 'n' Die!
​
Blood from the vein, suffering and pain
The landmine that tears you in two, dismembered and left to die
Tortured and slain, mind gone insane
Shells that explode on you and leave your chest open wide
​
War and death!
4. Crushed by Death
(Stay Alive...)
(Fuckin' Stay Alive!)
​
Cold shiverings run down my spine
As I run among the sprays of gunfire
A bullet cuts my flesh deep down
I fall and spit blood all around
​
And I see the blackened skies
My eyes full of fear open wide
In the fuckin' mud I convulse and strain
And my sticky flesh and limbs contract in pain
​
Crushed by death!
​
I feel my limbs getting numb
And my body getting colder
I see the faces of my loved ones
That I'll never see again
​
Anxiety and darkness climb my mind
As my sight and strenght fade away
And the one of the Scythe comes
To guide me through Eternal Darkness
​
Crushed by Death!
5. Cleansed by Fire
Asleep down in the ground, charged with death and fire
Ready to be launched for the pleasure of mighty liars
1945, the date of their first Holocaust
Does anybody know when will be their last?
​
In this crazy age for their satisfaction
All the Mighty want is quarrel and destruction
To unleash the Apocalypse all we need is a command
Just one fuckin' word and we'll be fuckin' done
​
Now the keys are turned and the buttons pressed
And the rockets light up with a blinding flash
Now that they are launched the shells cut through the sky
To their destination they fly out of sight
​
Lights up a second Sun in the sky from the shell
With a deafening thunder opens the gate to Hell
A hundred thousand degrees of heat break through the air
The mushroom cloud rises to the sky and the ground shakes
​
Buildings do collapse and steel deforms and melts
ou don't even realise your body evaporates
If you're close enough your shadow's stamped on the ground
If you're far away, Inferno has just begun
​
Your skin and hair burn, your flesh rips and lacerates
Your blood boils, your eyes melt, you die going insane
A second thunder starts a heavy thick black rain
Cleansed and purified, yet hostile for ages to come the land
6. Genocide
Segregated in the ghettos, without dignity
Deprived of your rights, no use to humanity
Planned extermination, perfect killing industry
The Final Solution for their racial purity
Jews, gypsies and homosexuals, der untermensch you're called
Perverse mind and wicked plans, your death sentence is told
You're still fuckin' unaware of what is going on
When your door is slammed wide open by the SS patrol
​
Yelling orders, came to arrest, Gestapo squadron drags you away
Beaten, stored on cargo trains, and your house is set ablaze
​
Genocide!
​
Days you stand in stench and heat, your feet sink deep in shit
You gasp for air, you crave for water and you shake in fear
Wagon stops, the railway ends, the doors slam open wide
Get down on the platform, to the Death Camp you have arrived
Control towers, barbed wire, guardians and horse-barns
Swastika and yellow star, numbers inked into arms
Forced in to be exploited for work, gate bears "Arbeit Macht Frei"
Starved, exhausted, ill and broken, now you fuckin' must die
​
Used for sick experiments or gassed in showers, Zyklon-B
Thrown in mass graves, burned in ovens, grinding bones, system's complete
​
Genocide!
7. Masochist
Beat me! All I want is pain
Injure me! Again and again
Cut me! The pleasure is to bleed
Don't stop! More is all I need
Give me the fuckin' sharpest blade
Pain is my only fuckin' aid
Call me insane, I'm not afraid
Watch my blood, its crimson shade
​
Cutting, slicing, carving, bleeding
I let the blade slide deep in me
One thousand wounds I made
I please myself with pain
I'll fuckin' die insane!
​
I choke myself, I suffocate
I beat my own body with chains
Watch me slicing my own veins
Pleasing excruciating pain
My cuts spill blood all around
Crimson paintings on the ground
Torn, slain, my corpse will lay
Crazy, laughing as I die
​
Cutting, slicing, carving, bleeding
I let the blade slide deep in me
One thousand wounds I made
I please myself with pain
I'll fuckin' die insane!
8. Behind the Cross
"Venite filii, audite me
Timorem domini docebo vos"
​
Association of liars
Corruption and hipocrisy
Miracles and hokus-pokus
To brainwash all ones you see
​
In the name of Sacred Books
You rape, torture and slay
Christianised or burned alive
In the name of your imaginary friend
​
Rapist! Killing machine! Thief and liar!
With the fist of Christ shoved up our asses
And holy bullshit to invoke fear
You brainwash and turn in a flock the masses
To have them follow your insanity!
​
Your word's peace and love for all
But you torture and engage in war
Priests of sodomy and pedophilia
Is that what they want from above?
​
All excuses for your privilege
You cannot prove what you say
Tell me how do virgins have sons
How the fuck can talk a snake?
​
Rapist! Killing machine! Thief and liar!
With the fist of Christ shoved up our asses
And holy bullshit to invoke fear
You brainwash and turn in a flock the masses
To have them follow your insanity!
​
Kneel before this cross of lies
And beg for false forgiveness
Penitence and magic tricks
Clusterfuck of lies and pain
​
Tell me what a shitty father
Wants you to suffer and die
Truth be told, be sure yee all
There is no one there up high
​
Rapist! Killing machine! Thief and liar!
But there will come a time to purify
And cleanse the world with blasphemy
Your church will burn down, the myth'll be killed
Then forever we'll be free
9. Death and Lust
Kidnapped, the hands tied back
The eyes full of fear open wide
Candid naked shuddering flesh
Sweat drips from skin pale and white
​
Passion, lust, perverson
The right reasons to kill and die
Chains, belts choking, the mouth open
And the drugs to bring high
​
Screams and moans get weaker
Blood stops running, eyes go white
Shivers shake freshly dead flesh
Still warm object of desire
​
Smellin', lickin', every curve
Kissin' lips left to die
Soft sweaty skins touch, supreme pleasure reached
Bound together Death and Life
​
Now completing the rite
Graceful curves dismembered, now slides
The blade deep inside the body
Gracefully, passionately chopped and sliced
10. Collapse
Indoctrinated mass-culture slaves
Brainwashed by mainstreams and utter lies
Taxes and censorship the mighty's ways
To turn us into obedient production machines
Cultural heritage destruction
Denial of freedom of expression
Political correctness' satisfaction
For an insipid omologated grayish world
Look at yourself in the fuckin' mirror
Don't you realise you're just a fuckin' slave?
Their money matters more than your life
Their laws protect those who break them
Omologated, silenced, enslaved
Your own identity is denied
Speak up, rise up, fight, stay alive
'Cause this society does Collapse!
Robotic mighty's puppets march to war
A mighty's tantrum whose price is paid by the low
For money, for land, for quarrel and for fight
It is no problem to send your sons to die
Believers and preachers of countless damn religions
Indoctrination, lies and terrorism
Laws and politics mixed with false liar gods
Utter madness, the brainwashed mass applauds
Look at yourself in the fuckin' mirror
Don't you realise you're just a fuckin' slave?
Their money matters more than your life
Their laws protect those who break them
Omologated, silenced, enslaved
Your own identity is denied
Speak up, rise up, fight, stay alive
'Cause this society does Collapse!
