Inherit the Void lyrics by Profane Omen

1. Seconds (Intro)

2. Base

I keep my base... I watched our common wealth go down with your preaching, dead empty words like those belong to the self-righteous... Do you have a clue what it means to breath in hell? I donīt, but I know the have-notīs who constantly are wearing the pain. Hate-bred, youth outraged, my arrival violated, you better repent this! Systematized oppression in the heart of our community, now thatīs lobotomy. I refuse to be one-sided īcause the world is so divided; no, thatīs not a part of me. Staring at the lunacy, the art of manīs morality, in this society, I choose the way of battle, scream my voice until it shatters (shatters). ARE YOU WITH ME? I KEEP MY BASE... These evil minds that only criticise are the ones to blame. By dividing our stand, they leave us begging from hands, from hands, that donīt give a fuckinī damn... Hate-bred, youth outraged, my arrival violated, you better repent this! Your threats, out of range, sure as hell Iīm dedicated, to transform your words into a death wish... ...In this golden age of desperate need, why we stand still? ...And before they know, they can see us from their backyards while we bring the war to their doorsteps...

3. Information

Information, let the freedom flow! Transformation, let this demon go! Let the light shine on all of our restraints, the ones that always keep us in place. We start this debate on whoīs the master and the chief; Iīm sure you always wanted to be... Youīre twisting, commanding, manipulating me. The nonexistent youīre making me to see. IīM TURNING into two, the mad and the sane. This battle tears the virtues within. The bulletīs inside and penetrates my mind. Iīm trapped in you and the horror comes alive... Let me stay alive for the wave that begins to rise... Fight, fight, fight for my sanity. INFORMATION! The more resistance grows, the more Iīm free. LET THE FREEDOM FLOW! Fight, fight for the change to be. TRANSFORMATION! It all starts with the trigger and me. LET THIS DEMON GO! Break the shadows and the darkness deep within, losing all the thoughts of defeat. Start your engine; become the chaos machine, with mayhem in your every heartbeat. Embracing the righteous, the fight that youīre in, weakness is a mortal sin, OUR EVERY SIN! Live to the fullest, pure heart the final keep. Join me now, or join the flock of sheep... The bulletīs inside and penetrates my mind. Iīm trapped in you and the horror comes alive... ALIVE! The bulletīs inside and penetrates my mind; Iīm trapped in you and the horror comes alive... Let me stay alive for the wave that begins to rise... Behind these insane eyes, no one is your guide... Information, let the freedom flow! Transformation, let this demon go! ALIVE!

4. Superpowertrip

And I have not witnessed justice; therefore I have no reasons to play it fair. All these wrong-turn exits turning to right ones, itīs up to me, itīs up to me. Now I decide... ...how I should live, by the day, and create... Start believing me; there is no one else you see. Iīm a riot of one man and I wonīt trade my soul. I know this in my heart; you wonīt bring me to my knees. You better criticise exactly who you are. WHO ARE YOU!? Itīs not about the skills or your abilities. You donīt learn this life by copy-paste; no, you decide. Now free yourself from from self restraints; donīt belong. Itīs in your head, all in your head. Now you decide... ...how you should live, by this day, and create... I DECIDE how I should live, by the day, and create... Start believing me; there is no one else you see. Iīm a riot of one man and I wonīt trade my soul. I know this in my heart; you wonīt bring me to my knees. You better criticise exactly who you are. Start believing me; I know this in my heart and you wonīt find me on my knees. You better criticise exactly who you are. WHO ARE YOU!?

5. I Have Seen

Fear! Fear that lives in my heart for the rest of my life, emptiness of all that is, illusion of being alive, I have seen the fires of hell, felt them under my skin. Hollow is the truth in this lie weīre living in. The horror, the nothing, the sights erasing my soul, judgement, the truth through this eye I cannot close. Fear... It all starts up with a pressure on my chest, the air sucked out of my lungs, physical symptoms just a rapid countdown to the small death yet to come. A violent chasm takes me down to the depths so cold. Here I have nothing, nothing for comfort; here I have no soul. And I see... Itīs strangling me; it kills the hope within, feeds death to my brain. If I could, I gladly would end my life just to end this pain. I cannot move. My eyes laid on something I cannot escape from... Inside this human shell, madness kicks in... I see. When the sights are seen and Iīm just an empty shell, I try to gather my breath, knowing that Iīve just been in hell, living in fear the rest of my life, trying to forget what Iīve seen. And the merciless eye made a part of me die, closed for now, still there somehow... ...until it opens again.

6. Left To Disintegrate

How will you feel, how will your mind adjust when you get the fact that will change it all? Wanna be a better man? Just leave it all to a higher hand and watch it all go down. Your time is nigh. Your time has passed so fast, on a pointless purpose that ainīt yours. You wander on, fall through the rest of your days, all the way to your fuckinī grave... Now beginning the struggle to be swallowed, within these flames youīve woken, will broken. Youīre swallowed, swallowed... You donīt want to burn down and still you embrace these flames. THATīS YOUR DISGRACE! Thatīs, your, disgrace! LEFT TO DISINTEGRATE! We donīt want to burn down, and still we embrace these flames. THATīS OUR DISGRACE! Changing beliefs but still everything stays the same. Weīre left to, left to, DISINTEGRATE! You donīt want to burn down, and still you embrace these flames. THATīS YOUR DISGRACE! Changing beliefs but still everything stays the same. Youīre left to, left to, DISINTEGRATE! And you should know about the need that lies way underneath; itīs crooked and wrong and shows youīre weak, but you donīt believe that. All that you have, having it wonīt save your ass from the useless days that have passed. No higher purpose for some shared good cause, no salvation at the end of the story you have willingly bought. Still you keep on resisting to be swallowed, but within these flames youīve woken, will broken, youīre swallowed, swallowed...

7. In The Middle I Breathe

Unfold, expose myself to these thoughts. It seems thereīs no angel to take me home... Iīm cold and I drank every drop I could find, And the fire in my lungs, it leaves no more room for smoke... Still I breathe... This world is a graveyard for our souls; the truth was buried in shallow ground. No sleep, no dream to give me peace, no fate. No reason for us being here... and I breathe... All these thoughts cause too much pain; all the colours of childhood are turning grey. All that I fear, I now must face, so grant me this wish: give me time to inhale...

8. Right To Retaliate

Replacing a life of choice with emptiness, I didnīt want to be spoken for. Walking in a world of fear, one thought in my mind I hold so dear; you gotta suffer, you gotta pay! Rest in pieces; rest in your shame. Rest in pieces, in pieces of pain. Demanding difference to replace the hate I feel, to walk among the wolves you have to carry the darkness in your veins. To eliminate the enemy I have to become one. I wear your skin and curse your gods as I greet the blood red sun. Far too late to feel remorse, so bend your knees as I lay you rest in... Rest in pieces; rest in your shame. Rest in pieces, in pieces of pain. You built me a world made of things Iīve grown to hate, but this world also gives me the right, the right to retaliate. I rise outnumbered. Shatter your beliefs onto the floor, no barriers no more. Waste the waste for one good cause, for everything thatīs lost, for everything thatīs loved. You built me a world made of things Iīve grown to hate, but this world also gives me the right, the right to retaliate. With a loveless caress as my prize, fight to my death I rise outnumbered as I am to retaliate. I rise outnumbered, my deeds justified; outnumbered I rise, my deeds very just. Like a razor slashing through my bones, I reconcile.

9. Generation Doom (Count me out)

HE-RI-TACE! What is left from yesterday? Only violence and the sense of greed -- I gag! A shallow world where crises are solved with a sum of all our fears... Thereīs too many problems now; weīre at the point of no return (dead end now). Weīre forced to look the other away, while all this decays... Poisoned by this need to kneel... I wash my face with filth, confession incomplete, And I leave this place in fires, hoping itīll learn someday. A future where handguns are leading the way is something I canīt take, bang bang! Traditions of a culture buried under the agony of men... Itīs a race of self-destruction -- who can beat the odds? And we can read our names in todayīs obituary... Poisoned by this need to kneel... I wash my face with filth, confession incomplete, And I leave this place in fires, hoping itīll learn someday. COUNT, ME, OUT (from this abomination). Drained out... I keep on washing my face with filth this confessionīs left incomplete. And I leave this place in fires, in fires... and hope you will learn someday...

10. Dealers Of Guilt

Twisting the truth with a tongue so worthless that even the taste of shit goes to waste, vomit those words in case someone hasnīt heard your opinion! Raise yourself to be a preacher; tell the people how to live a sorry life, pretending youīre not condescending. I hate your guts! The parasites dealing this guilt with their lies, I dream of the day when the last of those leeches will die, WILL DIE! Worthless words from a worthless mouth, but the noise you make heard over the truth. Iīm not listening so quit your endless bitchinī. Let Me Be! False preacher, a mail-order Jesus got the answers I donīt fucking want. Youīre not a master, Iīm not a puppet. Go stare at a barrel of a gun!

11. Dodge

Keep your mouth shut īcause there is nothing wrong. Just hold it back for some social peace. Donīt think twice about unpleasant thoughts īcause there might be something nice on TV. Commercial breaks -- telling what you want, information harnessed -- supporting the fraud, boneheads in the limelight -- pig shit to transcend, cash for a prize -- want to be one of them? Fill in the blanks in your un-aimed mind, plastic for you to spend your time on marching invasion overtakes us all and the seconds are running out. Tools of misleading! Keeping the sheep in use, youīre denying that comfort is your excuse. You have to realize that you are being had; computer games just caught you -- too bad. No reset, no restart, no defence, no game saved, only an artificial frame. So damn many easy ways to dodge, products made of money replacing a cause. No real challenge, hey it might be hard. The easy way out brought us this far. (And it will take us all the way to the end) Fill in the blanks in your un-aimed mind, plastic for you to spend your time on marching invasion overtakes us all, and the seconds are running out. THE END: What the fuck did you expect? How did you think it was going to end? Life is not a movie with a Hollywood ending to watch or a video game that you can practise over and over again. Life is not a competition of buying piles of shit we donīt need. We canīt choose the beginnings of our lives, we have way too little time to figure the middles out and the endings just donīt matter. So why should we spend any part of our lives in the void that is so easily inherited from one generation to another? Just because everyone else does? If we paid a bit more attention to the things that we really want to be our legacy, we might understand the one that was passed on to us. Or, we can spend our time dodging the thoughts too heavy to bear with someone elseīs way to escape. Itīs just that we donīt have too much time left to break the chain...
