Sodom - Persecution Mania Album Lyrics

Nuclear Winter

Run up the spiral staircase to annihilation
Deserted neglected into the dark
Devitalised souls cripple the planet in greed
Proceed until we are absorbed in blood
Causing the premature burial of nature
With the spark to a powder keg
Pining up their toys on the shoulders of the nation
Turning death into universal heir

Make us die slowly
Nuclear winter
Clouds of dust will hide the sun forever, celebrate
Nuclear winter
Blows straight into your heart
Nuclear winter
Day of tomorrow we'll go through
Make your testament
Nuclear winter

Luminaries become dall structures
Atmospheric cataclysm is the result
Epileptic doom of lacerated cannibals
Wrapped up the earth in a shroud
Eternal darkness artificial brightness
Exclusive possession of death
Defaced skulls of radiation
Mutilated past recognition

Make us die slowly
Nuclear winter
Clouds of dust will hide the sun forever, celebrate
Nuclear winter
Blows straight into your heart
Nuclear winter
Day of tomorrow we'll go through
Make you testament
Nuclear winter

Slow death is what we can expect
Strike will have just this one effect
Condemned to capital punishment
By the nuclear sword of Damocles
Disappeared without leaving a trace
Mans dignity and grace
Infected by intruder organism
Changed into weak willed subjects
Ineradicable misanthropy
We stick to nothing
Instinct of self preservation
Spreading venereal disease
Gods of war and vengeance
Commander with good conscience
Use our soul for research
In favour of nuclear technology

Arrived at the end of the spiral staircase
At the doorstep to immortality
Not reached the destination of our dreams
Decided in the struggle for existence
Life has lost, death has won the game
The length of our longing
Shall be the strength of our glory
Damocles proud and mighty among men

Make us die slowly
Nuclear winter
Clouds of dust will hide the sun forever, celebrate
Nuclear winter
Blows straight into your heart
Nuclear winter
Day of tomorrow we'll go through
Make you testament
Nuclear winter

Electrocution

Authorised to kill, fuming with rage
Urged by sexual instinct
Absorbed massacre, casualties
No chance to get away
Bloodthirstiness, dismemberment
Pathological satisfaction
Stimulated thoughts, increased wantonness
Until redeemed climax

Time will come to balance the account
Send you legally to hell
Electric chair is reserved sure enough
Your death struggle rings the bell

Brutal rapes, child mistreated
Unscrupulous crimes
Greed of flesh, naked skin
There is no relent
Wince bodies, torn genitals
Stamped by sadism
Chasted newborns, attractive females
Indescribable ecstasies

Time will come to balance the account
Send you legally to hell
Electric chair is reserved sure enough
Your death struggle rings the bell

Intimate kisses, secret wishes
With corporal beings
Ardent love, shameless intercourse
Just make sure it moves
Unmerciful disfigurement, a fleshy joy
Heart warming death
Coursing of souls, suck up the blood
Totally insane

Authorised to kill, fuming with rage
Urged by sexual instinct

Bloodthirstiness, dismemberment
Pathological satisfaction

Time will come to balance the account
Send you legally to hell
Electric chair is reserved sure enough
Your death struggle rings the bell

Iron Fist

[Cover : Motorhead]

Dark night nothing to see
Invisible hand in front of me
Scared to death there's some one near
Scared to move but you can't stay here

You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebites kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist

Flying horse don't make a sound
Flying hooves don't touch the ground
Walk in circles loose your tracks
Can't go on but you can't go back

You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, you can't resist
Devils grip, the iron fist

Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil's hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down

You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebites kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist

Persecution Mania

Command to Vietnam
Back into the jungles depth
Armed to the teeth
Cold blooded experienced
Mercenary paid to slaughter
Sector madness kill and destroy

Missing captive locked up
In contaminated camps
Only war of liberation
Let them gather fresh hope
Hostile crossfire finished eight lives
Bowels bury me alive
Green hell swallows a silhouette
I could get away

Persecution Mania, driven me mad
Persecution Mania, tremendous dreams
Persecution Mania, getting mentally ill
Persecution Mania, alarmed about my life

There are traps behind every line
The combat zone in trench and fire
I know the danger every step
The nerve gas falls in black and white
But slowly I near my destination
Lost is our war to do justice
The brothers of people shot and died
Persecution mania takes away my life

Persecution Mania, driven me mad
Persecution Mania, tremendous dreams
Persecution Mania, getting mentally ill
Persecution Mania, alarmed about my life

Something fierce
Something evil
Circles in the air

Enchanted Lands

From the dawn of time we came
To find the place of promise
Moving silently down
Through war disabled centuries

Living many secret lives
Unrecognised by human eyes
Struggling to reach the aim
To dwell in perpetuality

We are the messengers
Of inmost thought
Our words of confession
Fall away to nought

Domination of the universe
Contains our vital interests
Swift coursing blood of our veins
Cured the grieving pains

When the few who remain
Will battle to the last
For enchanted lands
Take charge of reign
Leave behind the past
Early history in our hands
Living in the land of promise
Beyond the other world

Our mission is done
Fear neither men nor fates
Pray for disease
But escape your soul

Duration of 100 lives
Get the worlds undoing
Because no one ever knows
We are among you

From the dawn of time we came
To find the place of promise
Moving silently down
Through war disabled centuries

Living many secret lives
Unrecognised by human eyes
Struggling to reach the aim
To dwell in perpetuality

Procession To Golgotha (Intro)

[Instrumental]

Christ Passion

We praise the saviour
Observe the ten commandments
Confess our sins

For time immortal
Man's mind gets inspired
By gift and faculty divine

Blind superstition
Religious liberty
Mitigate our sorrows

Living in a world of dreams
Don't fear the true
Image of a God

Infant Jesus was crucified
A memorial for our future
Our atrocity is now forgiven
Because he has done his penance

Hear me people of sighing
Sorrow of pain and regret
Left to the dead and dying
You, that not know me as yet

Christ passion

Medieval extravagance of Christianity
Foundation in all cultmysteries
Holy customs and wholesale hysteria
Creeds to transcendental

Defecation of human nature
Devour them up with blindness
They are fool adore in all clergy
And mindful in the grace of god

Christ passion

Mortal way of life
Rapture of the earth
Lift up your heads
In the day of his wrath

In the worst hour of life
Looking into the eyes of death
Extreme unction nears
Intensive incense is befooled

He gives you unimaginable joy
Certainty and faith
To find unutterable peace
Demand no sacrifice

Christ passion

Expect no wonders celestial child
He will behold your repentance
His prophet revealed to the wise
The great mystery of god

Persecution of Christians in blasphemy
Born by the scum of evil
Almighty father knows no thirst for revenge
Praise the saviour on all saints' day

Conjuration

An almost dark vault
There meet the maniacs
Burning flickering candles
Smell of blood and death
Please the favour of the black
Earthery joys at midnight
In the horror creep and crawl
No one knows what's wrong or right

Terror comes as an invasion
And the pain pulls you down
Conjuration

The ceremony can begin
Last super to the evil
Crowned with thorns black rose
Crucified to the rites of fall
Tarred and feathered
Black holy relics offered
The ram in priestly form
Says the mass in black and blood

Terror comes as an invasion
And the pain pulls you down
Conjuration

Blasphemy of the sacrament
To the glory of the dark
Virgin dance and chanting
Wear the burning mark
The rising of the corpse begins
Through prayer oath and howl
They rip to pieces what doesn't fly
They strike with naked fist

Terror comes as an invasion
And the pain pulls you down
Conjuration

Terror comes as an invasion
And the pain pulls you down
Conjuration

Bombenhagel

As we heard the threatening sirens
Warned against the bombing raid
We cowered in a shelter
They left us to our fate

Bombenhagel - Bombenhagel
Bombenhagel - Bombenhagel

Stukas dived to bring is mortal dreed
Bombs fell down as rain
Explosions shook the ground
Debris is buried the dead again

Bombenhagel - Bombenhagel
Bombenhagel - Bombenhagel

Waiting for the painful decision
Senseless action of Germans on and on
Only suicides delivered is from suffering
What does the future have in store

Bombenhagel - Bombenhagel
Bombenhagel - Bombenhagel

Outbreak Of Evil

[Bonus]

It's time to die
Death stands behind the door
Satan sends his warriors
Demons break out of hell

Shrill cries
Angel dies
Shrill cries
Outbreak of Evil

With sword and axes
The fight hard
In the massacre
They feel the hot smart

Shrill cries
Angel dies
Shrill cries
Outbreak of Evil

No one survives
People will destroy
Souls like hell
Where devils make a toy

Shrill cries
Angel dies
Shrill cries
Outbreak of Evil
