Morts Call me crazy if you will, but when I hear this it makes me think that this is what Anthrax (John Bush-era) would have sounded like if they'd opted for a more traditional heavy metal/hard rock approach instead of thrash. I dunno if anyone else will ever agree with that observation, so all I can say is that this is a great album and well worth checking out!

MAN MADE HELL Something has changed in me My feelings turned to steel I've seen too much of life's atrocities Real crimes before my eyes Death and torture in broad daylight Compassion was lost somehow Like a strange forgotten dream My threshold is far beyond Of what most people can bear Now I've got it all inside me All this man made hell Sometimes I can't believe How little it bothers me What used to rattle my soul Now is just a curiosity I can stand everything I'm immune to suffering Safe behind electric eyes I won't loose any sleep Something tells me that I've lost Another piece of humanity Something tells me that's the price Cause abyss always looks back at me My threshold is far beyond Far beyond of what most people can bear Now I’ve got this Man made hell Man made hell Living inside me

710 04:57
710 There's something behind that door So close, so unreachable Once a sweet fantasy Now a haunting, morbid dream I struggle to get my focus back It's like swallowing broken glass I scream my lungs into the past Waiting for a miracle 7... 1... 0... I can't let it go 7... 1... 0... Those memories scattered around Each one with a jagged thorn How can I move on When they still get to me I know it's too late now The writ enslaves like an animal But I can't leave that behind I'm struggling for some false hope 7... 1... 0... I can't let it go 7... 1... 0... Unbearable Just for a little while Let's pretend it didn't happen Please at least pretend There's some hope for me Please just for a while Let's pretend it didn't happen I want to break into 710 Break into what was once lost And if it's true your God had hand in this I want to make him suffer again Make him pay 7... 1... 0... I can't let it go 7... 1... 0... Unbearable

Equal 03:21
EQUAL I saw this man in a bus With a proud pin on hist chest It said "We are equal in God" Fella was in a sad shape Equal That's how equal we are Equal In the eyes of God And I felt pity For this crippled young man Not because of his body But for what was in his head The man looked like a broken toy Two sticks chained to his hands Clumsily he rushed to the door God must have had a good laugh Equal That's how equal we are Equal Only in the eyes of God He's got a bad part In God's grand plan A taste of hell before the judgment day So the Almighty took his little toy Broke it painfully and filled with love

SPLENDID ISOLATION He woke broken Without life Without tears Without shame Good as dead Yet still alive That's primal will drives him to breathe With a bottle of booze A ticket to the place Where it doesn't hurt Screams what's left out of his mind Can't take it anymore Just turn it down Splendid isolation The only thing that matters Splendid isolation Just kill the outside world Inside Dignity died That's a forgotten word Since thousands of bottles ago He doesn't smell His own stench He doesn't see How dark his skin got With a bottle of booze A ticket to the place Where it doesn't hurt Lost his home Years ago He has nothing to gain Nothing to lose Walking disease that still soldiers on Outlived so many of those he used to know He is lost to the world And this world is dead to him

Mental Slave 04:04
MENTAL SLAVE Disgusting little man I don't recognize you anymore You left dreams for the sake of what You know no one's waiting up above Mental slave Bound in chains By your own choosing Drown your fears On your knees You're victim of yourself Come on let someone in control Let excuses start to flow You don't have to think at all Sit and rot if that’s what you want You're a mental slave Living in chains You're a mental You're a mental You're a mental Slave Little part of a machine It hurts my eyes to see how well you fit Every day the same old shit Waking up to see how dull it is Mental slave Bound in chains By your own choosing Drown your fears On your knees You're victim of yourself Breed, work till the end of days Slave now lives in your heart With no hope for your resurrection I wish we never meet again Yes, I know It's all subjective I may be the one who's behind the times You peacefully evolve when I Spit venom and still seek for my path Now you complain But you don't want to change You are safe In a prison you've built You never want to think why It all happened this way You'll never break your chains You'll never be free You're a mental You're a mental You're a mental Slave

CHOOSE LIFE (IN MISERY) Their words ring strong and true With the Good Book they can do no wrong You should be grateful for what you've got Even if it means hell on earth Thank God - they are here - to explain Life is a gift you cannot refuse Human wrecks hang out on the hostile streets Waiting for heaven they're rummaging through the trash Cause every life is a precious treasure Even when you are equal to a rat Choose life In misery Choose life Fulfill your destiny They're acting like prison guards When you get in, pay your dues What hideous crimes we all must have committed If we can't leave this little dump Thank God - they are here - to explain Life is a gift you cannot refuse Choose life in misery Choose life Fulfill your destiny

Dead Girls 04:59
DEAD GIRLS Once upon a time On my way down I met an old man With a strange glint in his eye Son, he said to me Confidentially You look like someone Who should know Sometimes we all need Someone to hug and kiss Sometimes we all need Soft feminine touch Her ice-cold touch So hot like fire Smooth flesh of a woman Who didn't have luck in her life She won't scream so Do what turns you on For your pleasure She's under your control Dead girls Dead girls are easy Dead girls Don't say no When you're all alone Without hope for change Looking like a piece of shit With no money to spend What you've got to loose This world discarded you Such chicks wouldn't even laid eyes on a creep like you Young and beautiful better than you deserve They don't mind to make a piece of heaven in your little hell Dead girls Dead girls are easy Dead girls Don't say no I shook my head in disbelief Something in me was trembling down Could it be my lowest point Frightening how right he was

(ALSO SPRACH) FRANKY I watch the video of us together Right now it's so hard to believe Like a trip to another world Full of perversion beyond extreme I can't believe I can't believe It all did happen Two haunted souls So unlikely to come across Breaking their rules Thanks to computer miracle Bizarre ritual won't leave my mind Your words still ring in this room This was our last supper You were like Jesus when you said Eat my flesh Drink my blood Let my life flow in you Eat my flesh Drink my blood Just let my Just let my life Flow in you Joy and peace filled my mind As we shared your gift I waited for this moment All my sorry life They will never understand Why we went so far Just because we're different They want to wipe us out Eat my flesh Drink my blood Let my life flow in you Eat my flesh Drink my blood Just let my life flow in you May they kindly say Why is this a crime We were both so happy When you gave it all I know they will come soon To judge and destroy me Self righteous barbarians It's all beyond their minds

HOLY NAILHEAD Through visions and mystic dreams This holy man came to me I saw his pierced side and bloodstained hands Divine experience enlightened my mind I called him the holy Nailhead Somehow this name punched through my brain Nails were his doom and glory In dark times when it all began (Holy man) He released me, he brought me to What I've always wanted and feared Desires I was trying to kill Now they are free and so am I Yes, I can see my destiny Crown of thorns ripping my skin Tears, sweat, blood, disgrace Humiliation beyond belief Holy Nailhead, god of shame Wounds taste like freedom, god of shame Nailhead... God of shame I want them to destroy me Laugh at me, spit at me, curse me Damn me, hate me, watch me As I'm crucified So now I dream of this... Every single day Free to enjoy what I want Accepting who I am I'm not afraid to admit This is just what I need What I thought was damned Is now my only way I want to experience Agony in blood, dirt and sweat Just like my savior Revelation - sweet joy of pain Revelation - this is who I am Holy Nailhead, god of shame Wounds taste like freedom, god of shame Nailhead... God of Shame Nails... Nails...

THE LAST MESSAGE It's still early but the time seems to stretch Few minutes of staring at the message And I still can't believe what I just read Something went wrong again I sit here alone, thoughts are tumbling in my head Looks like quite soon I'll be back to where I began Yeah it was hopeless all along but this... This is not how it should be done I'm not afraid of tears I've been there before It's the thought I'll be living with this from now on Maybe it isn't all my fault but it doesn't help me a lot The feeling of guilt is always on my back Looks like quite soon I'll be back to where I began Hopeless all along but this... This is not how it should be done And I'll be running from these memories until my breath is gone There really is nothing... nothing... nothing that can be done
