Trapped here in this cage, I am enraged We need more emotion, some sweet devotion It’s our time to fly – to do or die You’re not my master – so give me more and faster! You’re out of your mind, stop wasting my time No trip of the brain, you’ve gone insane The love profusion, it’s all confusion In the face of disaster – we want our psycho blaster! The sky turns to black, we’re under attack The human condition, a state of submission We won’t surrender, reject all pretenders Move it on faster - or face my psycho blaster We are the psycho blaster… we are the psycho blaster – blast-blast-blast-blast-blast-blast-blast!! Psycho! Blaster!! Psycho! Blaster!! Psycho! Blaster!! Psycho! Blaster!! Psycho – we want our psycho blaster!!

I got the spinal reconstruction blues I got the spinal reconstruction blues My spine’s not very fine—it’ll heal, but that takes time I got the spinal reconstruction blues They’re putting my spine on ice I say they’re putting my spine on ice It don’t feel very nice to have your spine all packed in ice I got the spinal reconstruction blues They’re coming to lock me up They’re coming to lock me up I got evil on my brain, you know it’s driving me insane I got the spinal reconstruction blues They’ve trapped me in this cage They’ve trapped me in this cage My eyes are blind with rage, I can’t take this at my age I got the spinal reconstruction blues I’m fixing for to die I said I’m fixing for to die This life has passed me by, nothing left to do but die I got the spinal reconstruction blues They’re coming to bury me I say they’re coming to bury me All I want is to be free, escape this life of misery I got the spinal reconstruction blues

Demon Fate 05:51
From my equilibrium, I stepped inside a dream Dancing with a she-devil, ripped apart at the seams The shadow of the phantom lord, is blackening my soul I’m rotting in the prison of life, how can I escape from this hole? Schizophrenia, kleptomania, xenophobia, mass hysteria In my little private hell, I plot to rule the world I must control everything, it’s really so absurd The warriors of paradise, are riding to the dawn I carry Zeus’ thunderbolt, and raise it in my arms Juvenilia, bacchanalia, carnal barrier, demon warrior We exterminate, everything we hate, excommunicate, demons from my fate Fire burns inside my skull, my guts want to explode My body is no longer mine, a demon grips my soul Farewell to reality, I like it better here In this blazing ring of fire, I have nothing to fear Mandriporia, purgatoria, hyperborea, false utopia We contaminate what we desecrate, first annihilate, then reanimate Wonder if I may and pray now for the day that I make them pay, the pain will go away What is this I hear? The battle does draw near, my enemies will jeer for nine hundred years – yeah!

The sound of gunfire getting closer We don’t have much more time Can’t we find, a peaceful way? Can’t we live together as one? A world of fire, and cruelty Soldiers marching, everywhere We fear for, tomorrow But we can dream today Escape from the world All alone with my memories An empty life, I can’t bear it All I feel, is emptiness No place to run The battle’s drawing ever closer With people dying every day Water, bread, a place to sleep That is all what we need

Mama, I wanna fly. I say Mama, I wanna try. But the bastards spit in my eye. Looks like they don’t want me to fly She said “Why? Why, why, why do you wanna die, my butterfly?” I told my teacher “I must be free”. I said “hey teacher just wait and see” And so the teacher he looked at me, he just shook his head impatiently And he said “son you’re never ever gonna go far, you’re a shooting star.” Mama, still wanna fly. I say Mama, still wanna try. But all the doctors have analysed, and the castrators, have testified, They said “Why? Why, why, why do you wanna die, little butterfly.” Went to the preacher said “I wanna fly. Cause I know up there it’s only sky And I know I have got to try. Cause’ I don’t want life to pass me by.” He said “son, you ain’t ever gonna fly, you’re just gonna die.” Mama, I cannot fly. I say Mama, can’t even try. Oh tell me mama – and don’t deny – why I must be crucified She said “Why? Why, why, why did you wanna try?

The Wurdalak 05:01
“They only drink the blood of those whom they love the best!” If I don’t come back by midnight Kill me for I’ll be a Wurdalak Who’ll Drink your blood and split your bones I’ll Turn you into one of my kind Try to run you'll never make it far Your friends will turn their backs, they know The mark I planted on your forehead Twists your soul and burns your mind out We the cursed await you in our graves We know you will seek out your bloody fate You will revel in taking lives You will become the lord of the flies Wurdalak… Wurdalak… Wurdalak… Wurdalak
