Self-Preservation
04:34
|
|||
Heartbeat - so fast
Feel the intricate connection
Between the boot that kicks
And the pain that follows
The anticipation
Of repetition
Anxiety of anguish
Leads to the conclusion
The end justifies the means
Survival does not feed on thought
The future needs the presence
Self-preservation
Consequences do not matter
What is the use of good will
If morality means dying
Again Hunger
Anguish through a contracting stomach
Plenty of food
But hoarded and untouchable
So much can be taken
Implying devastation
When only this is viable
Ethics are irrelevant
The end justifies the means
Survival does not feed on thought
The future needs the presence
Self-preservation
Consequences do not matter
What is the use of good will
If morality means dying

In the Name of Stupidity
06:07
|

I look at this world
Full of egoism and vanity
And shake my head
At the stupidity of humanity
The whole world is ablaze
Can't escape this gruesome place
Of ongoing war through thousands of years
This is complete obliteration
Unstoppable eradication
Of all life wandering this earth
Everything is going down the drain
Fuck the world that just fucks itself
In the name of stupidity
We sacrifice our own dignity
Me, myself, I am the one
The only one I have to save
When the fire consumes our race
It's judgment day I have to run
For my life they have to waive
Their days they're worthless anyway
We're proud of so much culture
Pretend to be humanitarian
It's hard to delude ourselves even more
It tears me up inside
Do I support their lives
Or try to save the world
And kill them all in fire
I'm so consumed by rage
My hatred is eternal
I will destroy you all
Set everything on fire
It tears me up inside
Do I support all life
Or let the cancer grow
The human disease
We are but shit and nothing more
Pursuing death our only lore
It's always been like this and always will be
We put ourselves above all else
Our luxury paid with their health
We forfeited our right to remain alive
Everything is going down the drain
Fuck the world that just fucks itself
In the name of stupidity
We sacrifice our own dignity
I'm so consumed by rage
My hatred is eternal
I will destroy you all
Set everything on fire

Via Appia
05:16
|

Ten thousand sold each day
A human life no more than a unit
Tattoos on their foreheads, protecting investment
„Stop me, I'm a runaway!“
The sole purpose is to serve
Pleasure, amusement, decadence
Woe to him who fails
For he is forever condemned to the mines
Rise! Flee!
Escape this bond!
Fight! Kill!
With spit and knife
Walk with me, walk free
One last time, gladly
Before you die
About seventy escape
Starting legend, their life they shape
Roaming throughout the land
Unshackled hands but hunted all the same
Underestimated, victorious in battle
Triumph, thus growing stronger still
Every roman corpse leaves a sword behind
They strengthen the ranks of the uprising
As do servants that
Increase the numbers to seventy thousand strong
The siege is futile
An obstacle overcome
The will and spirit
Not broken so easily
The spoils of war
Shared just among all there are
So more yet join
The uprising at its peak
Loosing thirty thousand men
Yet winning with four times that number
Sacrificing captives, honouring the dead
Revenge for the fallen ones
Craven foes turn around and flee
Their fate just worsens on familiar grounds
Decimation will
Strengthen their spirit for the coming fight
Walk with me, walk free
One last time, gladly
March with me, be bold
And peace you may behold
before you die
In the last battle everything is lost
Whoever survives the sword still dies
Two hundred kilometers, the Via Appia
Six thousand crucified a warning to the world

The Scourge
05:04
|

I am the scourge
Tearing rotten flesh from the earth
Forged in the blaze
Carved by gods in darkness, dust and haze
My armies rage on
Ignominy has this brought upon
Let violence prevail
Since your god has failed
Blurred sight
Clouded mind
Let the violence unwind
Bloodshed
No regret
Your fate has been set
Their bones pave my way
As I slowly drain this world from life
I am unchained
Families fall to their knees
They urge me:
Please spare our souls,
You shall be our king
But they know I’ll lay waste to thee
Pathetic lives end in misery
Unbreakable
Incorruptible
Unyielding warrior
Limitless
Potential
Bestowed from the divine
No one can be freed from my wrath
Nothing can escape from my grasp
This is my eternal warpath
You will be united in death
I am the scourge
Tearing rotten flesh from the earth
Forged in the blaze
Carved by gods in darkness, dust and haze
My armies rage on
Ignominy has this brought upon
Let violence prevail
since your god has failed
Is this me?
Am I free?
How have I become so beastly?
I’ve done all these things?
They’re pulling my strings!
The instrument of deception
Noone can be freed from my wrath
Nothing can escape from my grasp
This is my eternal warpath
You will be united in death
I am the scourge
Tearing rotten flesh from the earth
Forged in the blaze
Carved by gods in darkness, dust and haze
My armies rage on
Ignominy has this brought upon
Let violence prevail
since your god has failed
My wife, my child, I see them
As I see the blood on my hands
Laying there before me
My own hands have killed them both
The gods that guide my blade
Have used me exploited my life
They will suffer retribution
And vengeance will be mine

Talent for Violence
05:32
|

Of terror he's a man
So I've got to fight him
With pain if I must
So terror is his plan
The threat posed to us
Needs to be eliminated
I start with waterboarding
It remains effectless
Now he's deprived of sleep
As I become more reckless
I use my talent for violence
I do it for the good of our people
I use my talent for violence
I do it to save lives
His hands will suffer next
I take a handful of his fingers
The body mutilated
In this room only his will lingers
Our force against his violence
His corpse for his virulence
Endless suffering
Yet the worst is still to come
Painful smothering
There's more where that came from
We found his wife
We found his children
They will be of great use
To save so many
We'll sacrifice
His loved ones – We won't lose
I use my talent for violence
I do it for the good of our people
I use my talent for violence
I do it to save lives
His wife got a red smile
His children are the next target
Finally we broke his mind
Humanity defeated the incarnated evil

With Thoughts as Weapons
05:46
|
|||
A small group injected with fear
All minds exposed to decay
They give into rotten ideas
Of what is right and what is wrong
The things different from them
Place anxiety in their heads
Afraid of the unknown
They start a futile war
They spread hatred towards everything
They don't understand
Infecting everyone
With rage towards the innocent
Discrimination against all strangers
A brutal path that repeats itself
Fighting the harmless peoples
Because of violations of a few
Taking religion as justification
For all attempts to genocide
Bringing to life the worst of mankind
And commit unthinkable crimes
With thoughts as their weapons
They destroy the peace there is
A kill and yet a clear conscience
Their thinking just is amiss

From Grief to Hatred
05:59
|

I've lived a peaceful life
Loving my kids and wife
Caring for friends and family
Until the day that
The world turned upside down
And fire turned home into hell
When instead of the sun
Now rise smoke and ashes
I find and embrace the children
Who shall grow cold
When the fire is
As dead as they are
And my heart
Is torn apart
I rage
And never again shall I smile about my life
I awake in the night
Not from nightmare but memory
Hugging my daughter's body
But the legs remain on the ground
Severed from the torso
The small body far too light
I bury the remains
Of my little one
Piece by piece
A horrid human puzzle
In my youth I dreamed
Of traveling the world
Seeing all the wonders in the flesh
The remains of that wish
A massacre for revenge
And destruction of all
When instead of the sun
Now rise smoke and ashes
I find and embrace the children
Who shall grow cold
When the fire is
As dead as they are
And my heart
Is torn apart
I rage
And never again shall I smile about my life
I bury the remains
Of my humanity
Bit by bit
Cannot comprehend fate
I turned from grief to hatred
I was recreated
Step by step
We approach judgment day

From Hatred to Death
04:50
|

It is high time
You came into your inheritance
To finally get something back
From all the work
You put in, you bombed in, you killed in
It is high time
You came into your inheritance
Your life is over!
Your world ends here!
You broke my life
I fell down by the graves
I shall break your homes
Let your bodies drop where
They stand now, they live now, they breathe now
I'll break your lives
Put you in your graves
What exactly did you think
The result was going to be
When you sent off the drones
To eliminate the two pixels on your screen
Set the world on fire
From hatred to death
Our path has led us
From Hatred to death
Your people's finished
Your world ends here!
I built the bombs
For chaos soon to be
A tribute to your acts
A parting gift from
My mother, my daughter, my woman
I built the bombs
Now let the chaos be
From Grief to Hatred
From Hatred to Death
I say farewell
Before I leave this life
And take you all with me
Into the after world
Where you shall rue
Your misdeeds, your malice, your murder
I say farewell
Before I leave this life
Set the world on fire
From hatred to death
Our path has led us
From hatred to death
And now I paid you back in kind
Kept the mutual contempt alive
Trade between the both of us
Is measured in how many did not survive

Heretics Paderborn, Germany
After founding the band in 2009, the first gig was played in 2010. It took ten years, until the first album Via Appia was released - but the band has grown from a bunch of pupils buying instruments to a Death Metal steamroller.
