insidethewire This is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time, and probably closer to top 3. There's something special about this album. The playing on this album is nothing short of phenomenal, with likes of Larry Lalonde and Les Claypool contributing their talents. I loved this album because it didn't sound like any other at the time. I can leave this album on repeat for days. Favorite track: Death Noise.

Welcome to this sane asylum You'll never leave if you keep tryin' There's no treatment There's no cure You can be quite certain But never really sure

Blood Shower 03:54
When politicians refuse To open their eyes The world is blind The future will cry The mud will turn red And the living are dead When madmen rule the land They'll be carrying out the plan Do you understand? You, me, them... kill! Bloodbath - Death Trap Walking down the sandmans path Turning your head from side to side No place to run, No place to hide The middle east will ride the beast They're preparing now, for the feast We watch them as we sleep Their menu is prepared, it's you they want to eat The main course For their holy war Blood shower - Poison flower Madmen sitting in the top of their towers Rape the innocent until the final hour When they're the only ones left to be devoured

Eye for eye Tooth for tooth You'll get yours Before it's through Living war Up to your knees in blood What are you dying for? Peace and love? Kill for peace Kill for land Killing time? Vengeance is mine Blood is thicker than water Land is worth more than gold Oil leads man to the slaughter Greed will eat at your soul Terrorists threaten our streets So now they are mine fields All powers will be unleashed When killing is fashion we all must kill

Death Noise 07:09
Lightning bolts flashing Demon cries Satan worries into the night Thunder roaring, no disguise The world is ending before your eyes A thousand times, you've thought of life And how time would not pass you by Now your eyes do see the light You've got that feeling, too scared to cry The roaring thunder in your ears Brings back to you, your childhood fears All the worries, all of life Could all end, on this one night As the noise begins to grow The cloudburst sky begins to glow You close your eyes the world so bright Suddenly the day turns into night Death noise The lower world, will rise above Taking over all they can Stand aside and fight with us Or fall, decline of man There's no turning back in the world's eyes Satan played it off with his nuclear guise Great radiation that fills the sky With poisonous air that kills off life Now the ground begins to shake It's satanist souls, not ours he'll take To rid forever from the universe Those who claim their faith with Lucifer

Kamakazi 05:08
We're the symbol of society The masters of our race We've learned our lessons on those who lived And how they lost their face What's wrong with living a proper life When it's yet our time to die? Faith and honor well preserved For we never question why... Taking your life in your own hands As we do every day Living life in the danger zone Someday you'll have to change Divine wind Kamakazi flies within Divine sin You'll never see his face again No reason living No reason to die You look in the mirror And see your cold eyes One final moment Before you take to the skies The needle's your pilot And the snow is your guide To turn your back on the rising sun Would surely bring your honor shame Crying for the ways we live When we only have ourselves to blame

Trapped inside her crystal ball You feed her the future, you tell her all Life and death, she feels is in her hands She's the one who dies by your command Eyes in the crystal Face in the mirror A voice in the back of your head Smash the crystal Smash the mirror Or the witch's curse will leave you dead The witch speaks of the dreams you've seen A divine message of light If you look into her crystal ball Your future will end tonight
7.
Voices ringing burns my ears I see faces in the mirror Defying gravity in my sleep As I fly from dream to dream And I dream..... Ancient future blinds my eyes Silencing screams that hypnotize Ask myself what do I see? No one's there to answer me One day man will read what's written Decide to steal what he wasn't given Deadly knowledge twisting scriptures Tapping into Hell's computer Vicious visions warning you Remember to forget what you once knew Vicious visions telling me Don't forget to remember what you used to be Heed these words Don't listen to me Unless you've no fear Of what you might see Vicious visions
8.
Inspired by insanity No cure for the mind's disease No drug to ease the pain No undoing what's been done No loss is a gain You've tortured mother earth Soon you all will burn Nothing's sacred No one is pure What we've been taught Has changed through the years What truth are lies? What lies are truth? Madness as my disguise I do what I do This world created holy Is tortured and haunted Metamorphosis of a monster Just goes to show Not all are Satan's slaves Supposed holy doing his dirty work They're digging the earth's own grave One grave..... The bowels of the earth Are ready to give birth The death noise will crack the sky A moments reflection Mirrored imperfection Then all madness will subside One day the whales will walk the earth The hunter will become the hunted Mammoth will unearth itself from the tomb of hibernation He will sprout wings and fly Man will be consumed by fire then condemned to the sea Burning eternally with salty water in the lung Reborn, Reformed, The humble will adorn a new way Without treachery or scorn
