Destruction - D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. Album Lyrics

Devolution

D.Evolution
Confusion, Last Solution
-Our mighty technology obscures our decay
step by step, fuckin' regret
-Our modern economy is not meant to stay

Once I believed - in progress
Once I Had dreams - and success
My state - your home - our base of life
dead and buried in the stillborn ego
Of our inner strife

Chorus:
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
World is out of hand
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
We're cavemen on command
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
We're buried in the sand

Disollusion, of a system
- That does accelerate
It's own disarray
The Theory, of Evolution
-Just a note in the book
Of Human Decay

Once I believed - in good morals
Once I Had dreams - ain't no quarrels
My pride - Your honor has been sacrificed
For This unholy cash machine
That's no one can deny

[Chorus:]
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
This World is out of hand
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
We're cavemen on command
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
We're buried in the sand
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.

Once i Believed - in progress
Once i had dreams - and success
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.

[Solo: Vinnie Moore]

Once i believed - in progress
Once i had dreams - and success
My state - your home - our base of life
Dead and buried in the stillborn Ego
Of our inner strife

[Chorus:]
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
This World is out of hand
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
We're cavemen on command
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
We're buried in the sand
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.

Once i Believed - in progress
Once i had dreams - and success
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.

Elevator To Hell

Is this the price we have to pay?
I'm sick of those who have nothing to say
Feel the anger of social outcast
Luxury and affluence are not made to last!

In this world of hubristic selfishness
Crimes against mankind will lead to success
We can't close our eyes, we pretend carity
How the hell can we agree?

[Bridge:]
The ravenous world - is rapping their children
Prayers won't be heard - Evil runs it's course

[Chorus:]
Taking the elevator to hell
Cursed and under the spell
Let's get this traighten
FuckWake up we are Satan!!!

The impact of our growth will kill
Our Class is empty - No refill
A great idea to destroy your home
And wipe away your chromosomes

[Bridge:]
The ravenous world - is rapping their children
Prayers won't be heard - Evil runs it's course

[Chorus:]
Taking the elevator to hell
Cursed and under the spell
Let's get this traighten
FuckWake up we are Satan!!!

Facing judgement day
Sure We all wanna stay?
Deeds of the scum will reveal
The world became so unreal

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

As Proven By history
The offenders are wrapped in mystery
Our days will fade to grey
Sure you wanna face our decay?

[Solo: Harry Wilkens / V.O. Pulver / Harry Wilkens / V.O. Pulver/Both]

Vicious Circle - The Seven Deadly Sins

"in Nomine Patris Et Filii Et Spiritus Sancti..."

I see fake healers on top of the bill
I see the idle rich getting their thrill
Creating rules that are made to be broken
Playing god - The truth is unspoken

[Chorus:]
Sloth - The vicious circle begins
Starting the deadly sins
7 games of greed - 7 ways to succeed
Wrath, Envy & Pride
Spreading fear & Fright
Gluttony and lust - my disgust,
Cruelty always wins:

The Seven Deadly Sins

I see blind divine worship & kangaroo courts
No - They won't forget to praise the lord
Using their religious belief to succeed
Their fuel is to make others bleed!

[Chorus:]
Sloth - The vicious circle begins
Starting the deadly sins
7 games of greed - 7 ways to succeed
Wrath, Envy & Pride
Spreading fear & Fright
Gluttony and lust - my disgust,
Cruelty always wins:

The Seven Deadly Sins

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

Preachers are raping our trust with their prayers
Crowned with success subhuman betrayers
Raking in money is their unholy aim
Voracity - Cheating while playing their Game

[Chorus:]
Sloth - The vicious circle begins
Starting the deadly sins
7 games of greed - 7 ways to succeed
Wrath, Envy & Pride
Spreading fear & Fright
Gluttony and lust - my disgust,
Cruelty always wins:

The Seven Deadly Sins

Offenders Of The Throne

Go!
You won't believe me
Cause You Think I am Free
Appearance or reality?
In a country of envy

[Bridge:]
All this jealousy is ruling
Those no class stupid wannabes
Pre-programmed breed of losers
Telling me what i should be

[Chorus:]
Offenders of the Throne
Envious freeloaders
With no Backbone
Offenders of the throne
Born and raised as drone

Rules are there to be broken
Abusive muck - Easy spoken
They breathe fire and brimstone
Offenders of the throne

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Back - seat drivers
With no backbone - Possessed
Should be engraved
On your tombstone - possessed

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

Soul-Destroying Demise
Without Substance you wont' rise
Possessed and ruled by jealousy
I'm Proud to be your worst enemy

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Outburst!!!

Last Desperate Scream

I remember the day
When this mess all started,
We hated the world
All mentally retarded
It feels like yesterday
Or just some minutes ago
Their fake world
Is running far too slow

A desperate scream
Against the regime
A hopeless fight?
No matter what
We did not take fright

[Chorus:]
Thrashing skills - Hypnotic thrills
Musical destruction - Just kills!
Riffing mayhem - High-speed fills!
Musical destruction - Just kills!

Our freedom is the way
We can create this slaughter
We all know we can't change
This new world order
Brutality is the relieve
Of our ecstatic minds
The art of our society
Are the symptoms of decline

[Chorus]

[Solo: Jacob Hansen]

The skills of musical destruction were our aim
We didn't wanna fit in their goddamned fuckin' frame

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

Dismissed by all the mainstream media
Now we are a part of the encyclopedia
Nevertheless do your own thing and do it right
Forget all about the mortal fright

[Chorus]

Transfer pictures of society
Are getting powered by anxiety
Only a will of iron can break through
Take your life in your own hands - It's up to you!

[Chorus]

Last desperate scream
Going against the regime
Last desperate scream
Going against the regime

Urge (The Greed Of Gain)

[Solo:Gary Holt]

The mob wants what he can't get
Twisted minds, be somebody instead

Evil greed for the extreme
The chosen & the damned supreme
The father and the man of god
For their nasty deeds they will rot

[Chorus:]
Urge - The greed of gain
Butchered nothing will remain
Warped minds will rise
If you can pay the god damned price
Urge - The greed of gain
Butchered nothing will remain

We all fear uncertainty
The ugly face of death
-Our most relevant fee

What would you do?
If this would come true?
Set time and place
Stash away without a trace

[Chorus]

Sadistic snuff movies - Disgust
Perverted escalation of lust

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

Cupidity for domination
Mirror image of frustration

[Solo: Jeff Waters]

What would you do?
Do you have a clue?
Using your own wealth
To abuse others health?

[Chorus (x2)]

Malevolence!!!

The Violation Of Morality

I've lost faith - counting the days
Meaning of life - stabbed with a knife
I gave up on trust and amities
My hearts is about to fuckin' freeze
I've been treated like dirt
Friendship is just an empty word

[Bridge:]
Boiling in rage - Sophisticated cage
Raping the seeds - Desperate evil needs

[Chorus:]
Violation of morality - Violation of morality
Violation - Kinship was the only key
Violation - My surveil strategy
Violation - The act of desecration killed the person
That once was strong - Willed!

A put-up affair - so hard to bear
Like a loaded dice - in the game of life
Kinship was the only key, my survival strategy
the act of desecration killed the person
That once was strong - willed

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Piece of mind - I can't find
Sweet revenge dominated my day

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

Battle cries - nightmares agonize
Dedication & affection turns into hate
Addiction is the fuel - independence is the rule
You can' t change your fate
So dominate - Dominate - Dominate!!!

[Solo: Mike Sifringer]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Inner Indulgence

You wake up and you feel like shit
Even your bloody vomit won't make you quit
Sleepless nights and painful days
As you gathered: your sick habit slays
In your agenda there's no room for hope
Your daily deeds are possessed by dope
Puppet of chemicals - you can't choose your fate
Those who survived
As your friends will be betrayed
When you will stop breathing
No one will care
Don't fucking worry
You will get your share!
Inner indulgence - beyond the veil
You'll get your share - see you in hell
Some of best friends are six feet under
We choose our own bloody path
Why do you still wonder?
When you will stop breathing cause of your crystal meth
You better fuckin' worry, this will take your last breath
Don't waste my time - get out of my way
No respect and no honor - for your deeds you will pay
In your agenda there's no room for hope
Your daily deeds are possessed by dope
When you will stop breathing
No one will care
Don't fucking worry
You will get your share!
Inner indulgence - beyond the veil
You'll get your share - see you in hell
Inner indulgence
Get out of my way
Inner indulgence
For your deeds you will pay
Suffer in pain!

Odyssey Of Frustration

Malice!
Odyssey of frustration
Odyssey of our creation
Brainpower seems a gift or is it a goddamned curse?
So why the hell don't you calm down and get what you deserve
Why do you act like a loser - it's obvious: dissatisfaction kills
So why the hell do you misuse your fuckin' skills?
Wrong aims to achieve - wrong commands to receive
Struggle for existence - Where's your power of resistance?
Odyssey of frustration
Odyssey of our creation
Just a slave of the system - resignation, your head is rammed
Overrated, uneducated - most supreme but condemned
They're simulating and pretending to improve our little fuckin' mind
Backed up by the media perfect affection - we're going blind
Ignorance, decadence - philosophy of salvation
Initiator, fake creator - stream of misinformation
Stultification of our nation - supremacy of creation
Mediocrity, conformity - odyssey of frustration
Brainpower seems a gift or is it a goddamned curse?
So why the hell don't you calm down and get what you deserve
Why do you act like a loser - it's obvious: dissatisfaction kills
So why the hell do you misuse your fuckin' skills?
Wrong aims to achieve - where's your power of resistance?
Odyssey of frustration
Odyssey of our creation
Odyssey!

No One Shall Survive

No One Shall Survive
We all have something to hide
We all have 'another side'
None shall defy his deeds
None shall deny his evil needs
Have a look in the mirror, what do you see
Is this person your friend
Or your worst enemy
Take a reflection, look back, dive into the past
Did you recognize that nothing's there to last?
No one!
No one!
We all have something to hide
We all have 'another side'
None shall defy his deeds
None shall deny his evil needs
No - no one shall survive
The inner-strife
Face the deadly dive
No one shall survive
The diary of a sad man did create a madman
The voices in your head, twisted your mind - no more plan
Looking for the resurrection this story of reflection
Make a clean sweep of your past nothing's there to last!
No one!
No one!
Witnesses erased
Reality replaced
Detection close to zero
Survivors will never be the hero!
Have a look in the mirror, what do you see
Is this person your friend
Or your worst enemy
Take a reflection, look back, dive into the past
Did you recognize that nothing's there to last?
No one!
No one!

Shellshock

[Bonus Track for Japan]
[Tank cover]

Wakey, wakey...
Hated you for far too long, you're just so damn polite
You've been screaming , shouting all night long
That you we've gotta get wrecked tonight...
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
It's getting late in the evening, I can't wait to turn the lights out...
Come down from the ceiling, don't stop just burn me out...
I don't know when to stop, I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Some of the things you do... I just don't understand
But those strange things that you do... must mean I'm going mad
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Those strange things that you give to me you give me...Shellshock!
