Soilwork - The Chainheart Machine (1999)

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the mightiest of them all
Every little question, none who will be answered
Staring at the bulletbeast pointing his gun

Killing – there’s nothing in my seeing what’s wrong
Running – or is it just that I’m...
Fearing – in fears for your lives you scream like a pig
Thrilling – my pulse will go up and yours will go down!

Why, why – I’m in for the quest
There’s no turning back once you’ve tried
Why, why – you’re all laid to rest
The bullet is sent by the king

Once again I’ll tell you my friend
Don’t trust anything you’ll see
“Redrum” overdose – telling no lies
My trigger finger is divine

Hatelights – aim at the chest fire at will
Lesson – a lesson in pain, waiting for....
Vengeance – chasing my footsteps not to be found
Instruction – instructor unknown, but he will proceed!

Why, why – but you won’t resist
I’m back once again I will kill
Why, why – I’m put to the test
I’ll never go down to the ground!

So you wanna play rough?
Say hello to my little friend
With my finger on the trigger
You’re watching the judge of today

Killing – there’s nothing in my seeing what’s wrong
Running – or is it just that I’m...
Fearing – in fears for your lives you scream like a pig
Thrilling – my pulse will go up and yours will go down!

Why, why – I’m in for the quest
There’s no turning back once you’ve tried
Why, why – you’re all laid to rest
The bullet is sent by the king

Last time, last sign
My face have turned to dust
Underground, no sound of human innocence

Hatelights – aim at the chest fire at will
Lesson – a lesson in pain, waiting for....
Vengeance – chasing my footsteps not to be found
Instruction – instructor unknown, but he will proceed!

Why, why – but you won’t resist
I’m back once again I will kill
Why, why – I’m put to the test
I’ll never go down to the ground!

Oh!

Maximize my pleasure, maximize my pain
Till a bend, heaven send, in this downward spiral with no end
Angel face filled with sin I will lick it clean
Fixate my eyes to the TV scream

Treasurize this entertainment now!
By public demand we work for pleasure

Mesmerize my god, mesmerize my blood
From his mind to his spine
We will make him doubt about his might!

Treasurize this entertainment now!
This is where we stand until we fall

Generation speedkill
Operation seedspill
Generation speedkill
Operation seedspill

Brutalize my lifetime, brutalize my thoughts
In a trance, last dance for Mr. Moralize

Treasurize this entertainment now!
By public demand we work for pleasure

Generation speedkill
Operation seedspill
Generation speedkill
Operation seedspill

On this open road of no regrets
Born on a plate, food for velvet lies

[?]

Maximize my pleasure, maximize my pain
Till a bend, heaven send, in this downward spiral with no end
Angel face filled with sin I will lick it clean
Fixate my eyes to the TV scream

Sterilize this moment of truth that we stand for!
This is where we stand until we fall!
Treasurize this entertainment now!
This is where we stand until we fall!

I play the game of piercing fear
Is this the only sound I’ll ever hear?
Of hate I’ll rise
Of this perennial demise!
Well if I ever should fall from this earth...
Would there be anything left of me?

Come feel the need of piercing steel penetrating your hope!
We suffer, yes we suffer... in this pit of hell
The pulsating hatelights who will deform?
Total devastation just catches your eye!
Take a trip inside of me! There’s all I need!
Of hate I’ll rise
Of this perennial demise!
‘Cause we’ve cried
Bloodstained walls on every fucking side!

Come feel the need of piercing steel penetrating your hope!

Kill, kill, machinegun majesty!
Just steal, steal, come steal my night

The nights are long as well as the war
They pull my strings whenever they want
A feelings just reach us
A feeling of insecurity
Of strength I’ll rise
Of this miserable disguise

Come feel the need of piercing steel penetrating your hope!

Kill, kill, machinegun majesty!
Just steal, steal, come steal my night

I play the game of piercing fear
Is this the only sound I’ll ever hear?
Of hate I’ll rise
Of this perennial demise!

Kill, kill, machinegun majesty!
Just spill, spill, come spill our blood
Kill, kill, machinegun majesty!
Just steal, steal, forever stealing my life

Inside you, I feel you from inside, satisfaction built on sin
Condemn everything who says what is right
Drown in my eyes, no need to deny I scream!
Feel my devil inside you, gaining!
Reaching diabolic speed!

I reach, I feel you’re lost
Millions of flames in your eyes

I command the gods of time
Make this dream never end
Imagination?
Evil salvation?
Red light city makes you burn
Oceans of immortal seed
I’m the hand sweeping over midnight lands

I reach, I feel you’re lost
Millions of flames in your eyes

So sell your soul and be mine!

Come on, let’s go!

I decide if you will rise
Total control! I’m in your veins
I reach, I grip your mind
Never surrender

Staring through the eyes of a cosmic breed
Through distant skies above the fields
Another face, another dimension
A broken circle of human attention
Around making my way through the desert plains
I’m a legend a gift from the gods, sirens scream there is no rest
A diary of a tragical life in this nest

Screaming for victory... neon rebels will rise
Breaking down the barricades... nailed to the skies

Riding on the winds at the speed of light
Selfish pride is a rebel’s might
Cosmic warfare a taste of my life
A gallery of a lifetime under the knife

An endless voyage... in an endless time
Remind thoughts of an ancient sign...

Staring through the eyes of a cosmic breed
Through distant skies above the fields
Destructive thoughts in a narrow void
Another mission in galaxy 2001

Screaming for victory... neon rebels will rise
Breaking down the barricades... nailed to the skies

Killing to stay alive
Madness rules here again
Tear away the golden skies
Neon rebels will reign!

Like the cold sweat running down your backs
I’ll be there to make your lives a living hell
I’m your eyes in disguise... silverspoon meltdown!

Break me! Kill me! I’m standing in your way
Condemn me! Punish me! I am you’re poison wine

Inside your temples of fortune and lies
You obey your power and might
I’m your headaches, I’m your agonies
Giant walls of steel!

You can’t repair all the work you have done
Lies burning bright in your mind
I will never go down no needs to be found
I am your hell!

Break me! Kill me! I penetrate your pride
Condemn me! Punish me! You can’t break down my walls

I am the one, the evil son
I am the one with the darkened sun
Possessing the angels!

Feel the smell of crimson sweet sin
Your lies are weak and much to thin
I’ll never die and I’ll tell you why... my jealousy is killed!

Break me! Kill me! I’m standing in your way
Condemn me! Punish me! I am you’re poison wine

I am the one, the evil son
I am the one with the darkened sun
[?]

I am the one, the evil son
I am the one with the darkened sun
[?]
Possessing the angels!

Trying to hold back the jaws of mankind
Trying to avoid their hysteric lives
Where I walk or where I stand
Underground or no man’s land
My eyes will always see what they’ve always seen
My ears will always hear what they’ve always heard

‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99!
I could stay there for a lifetime!
‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99!
When universe is on my side!

Can’t pay the price of a madly game
I’m a victim who will stay the same
Where I talk or where I go
Something tells me that it hurts me so
Hungry rebels cut my way
They steal and others have to pay
Spit or swallow – that’s a fact
I’m going back, going back!

I’m back in room no. 99!
You can be blind there for a lifetime!
‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99!
When universe is on your side!

No! No! No!

My eyes will never see what they’ve used to see!
My ears will never hear what they’ve used to hear!

‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99!
I could stay there for a lifetime!
‘Cause I’m back in room no. 99!
When universe is on my side!

Total oblivion of my inner past
Will I ever be the same again?
Landscapes of treasures before my eyes
Now it’s over, forget the past

Spirits... of the... future sun
Spirits of the future sun!

Legal lies and desperate cries
I cannot see, I’m on my own
Self-destructive and the anguish of youth
Futures rising in your mind!

Spirits... of the... future sun
Spirits of the future sun!

Your spirits wait for me in vain!
I won’t fall!

Sun burns red on the innocent child
Twisted rules by common souls
Computerized, pathetic lies
The lights are out – here comes the war!

Spirits... of the... future sun
Spirits of the future sun!

Your spirits wait for me in vain!
I won’t fall!
Your spirits wait for me in vain!
I won’t... fall!

Total oblivion of my inner past
Will I ever be the same again?
Landscapes of treasures before my eyes
Now it’s over, forget the past

Spirits... of the... future sun
Spirits of the future sun!

I am the sledgehammer messiah, waiting for sins to be born
And if you stop for a moment you can hear the machines are playing your song
There’s nowhere to run and nowhere to speak
I’m gaining you’re falling into me
Tell me you piece of shit, how does it feel
To be down here with me?
Living, living, dreaming, dreaming, drowning!

Chainheart machine
By cosmic retribution I’ve been sent
‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall
Roll the dice, roll the dice
My call, my call

Tick tock, time to die
No use reaching as time goes by
Self-absorbed egotistical... fuck!
I’m reining your life!

Chainheart machine
By cosmic retribution I’ve been sent
‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall
Roll the dice, roll the dice
My call, my call

Oh!

Preaching for the sun...
They say there, they say there is a sun...
So I’m preaching, I’m preaching for the sun...
They say there, they say there is a sun...

My body is chained to the ground where I walk
They stalk they hunt my every thought with
Execution, evolution, disillusion pre-conclusion
Why is it me?

Chainheart machine
Your suffering will be legendary, even in hell!
‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall
Roll the dice, roll the dice
My call, my call
‘Cause I’ll rise, I’ll rise, you’ll fall, you’ll fall
Roll the dice, roll the dice
My call, my call
