lyrics
There is no perfection
Each and every creation is flawed
We enshrine the essence of life
Call every birth a wonder, each day a blessing...
But there is no wisdom in hedonism
Only palliation
And there is no truth in values
As there is no truth in redemption
Whatever is the fuel, which keeps this machine working
It is time to parch the source
Wherever is the construction, which holds the curtain
It is time to cut the ropes
Sometimes I wonder,
Have I been written into a play?
Am I an extra, watching from the distance
I'm not Ulysses for sure...
All the promises of improvement
All the lies of comprehension
Unmasked as the empty shells they are
Uttered in a vacuum
I almost envy those, who can still be enraged
Since they can direct and focus their detestation
While I only reload and aim
At my own head, at my own heart
This self-loathing path of demise
This never ending circle of violent thoughts
This void which cripples me into rigidity
Is my opium to insidious slumber
Whatever is the fuel, which keeps this machine working
It is time to parch the source
Wherever is the construction, which holds the curtain
It is time to cut the ropes
As if I'd ever be in peace with myself
As if this blaze of hatred would suddenly smother
As if my mind would be cleared of all the pictures I kept
As if I'd just need second sight for purpose to uncover
Each and every creation is flawed
We enshrine the essence of life
Call every birth a wonder, each day a blessing...
But there is no wisdom in hedonism
Only palliation
And there is no truth in values
As there is no truth in redemption
Whatever is the fuel, which keeps this machine working
It is time to parch the source
Wherever is the construction, which holds the curtain
It is time to cut the ropes
Sometimes I wonder,
Have I been written into a play?
Am I an extra, watching from the distance
I'm not Ulysses for sure...
All the promises of improvement
All the lies of comprehension
Unmasked as the empty shells they are
Uttered in a vacuum
I almost envy those, who can still be enraged
Since they can direct and focus their detestation
While I only reload and aim
At my own head, at my own heart
This self-loathing path of demise
This never ending circle of violent thoughts
This void which cripples me into rigidity
Is my opium to insidious slumber
Whatever is the fuel, which keeps this machine working
It is time to parch the source
Wherever is the construction, which holds the curtain
It is time to cut the ropes
As if I'd ever be in peace with myself
As if this blaze of hatred would suddenly smother
As if my mind would be cleared of all the pictures I kept
As if I'd just need second sight for purpose to uncover

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder
