Mind Trap

lyrics

2011-07-05T06:03:00.000-07:00

it's been awhile here on our blogspot. in the meantime we wrote some new songs which will be released on a 7" sooner or later this year. here are three of the new lyrics.

end of pain
that grasping claw, it comes for me. his cloak is black as darkest night. tear the essence from deep inside. bone fingers are splayed and wide. i fall into the reapers bliss for i have heard his call. if only i could betray him and break my path of destiny. his scythe scrapes the ground as he drags a flash of silver under the sky. but across the scorched and desert plane he brings a gift at highest price. - the end of pain!

dead roots
they take my life, the lips of death have blown me out with their sudden breath. nothing can revive my vanished spark. do i really have to dwell in the dark? the tree of my life, crushed by deaths cruel feet. can the blossom live when the roots are dead? it's dead. i'm dead. we're dead. i love my life, but death's bitter sword has severed me from the breathing world. suffer forever! distress together! can your flesh survive when your soul is completely gone?

no tomorrow
grim reaper again, he's always there. watching, waiting. how he stares. from nothing to nothing to nothing to nothing. from nothing to nothing to nothing to nothing. styx and acheron, the water so black. two men over, just one man back! from nothing to nothing to nothing to nothing. from nothing to nothing to nothing nothing nothing. upon the fading sight of my eyes that knew this world and lent disguise. to what my earnest thoughts had been, but now i'm done with all i've seen. be kind dark sky and let me rest. i can't take no more. i gave my best. betrayed by death, where is the red? am i just dreaming or am i dead? no tomorrow!

netherworld

2010-04-20T06:34:00.000-07:00

we're writing new songs, the newest is called netherworld.

Netherworld
fire filled up my lungs. i'm cursed. i'm banned. i'm damned. i'm the heat from below. i am the one you fear the most. fear me! i swallow your two-faced believes. hypocrites! kneel before me. i profane you. i profane you for the things you’ve done in your past. no peace to your soul. i nail you on the upside-down cross. you’re cursed. you’re banned. you’re damned for your sins. you’re cursed. you’re banned. you’re damned...

new(s) song online

2010-04-20T01:51:00.001-07:00

we uploaded our new intro and one of the new songs called counterpart. check it out.

the plans for the split 10" with infected, memorial and feeding time are dead. no bad blood with anyone. feeding time is dead too. instead there will be a infected / memorial split 7". and we are working on our first LP right now.

there are still three open dates for our summer tour with juggernaut. and our split 7" with never again is still hot for pre-order.

our next show will be in vienna on the 4th may at the shelter. without storm and stress.

last night: munich

2010-04-05T06:12:00.000-07:00

our navigation system broke and so the location was very hard to find. but after this we had a pretty good time in munich! thanks to everyone who showed up. we love our friends in infected and memorial for being such good lads!

next show will be in our hometown. so vienna, you know what to do.

...just the most important things we have to mention!

germany, thank you so much for such an amazing show. and of course a huge thanks to the eighteen fellow travelers from vienna. and, oh yes, daniels armpit-sweat smells like a vagina. hang out with us at one of our next shows and take a sniff.

can't wait!

2009-12-18T20:45:00.000-08:00

"dear neustadt an der orla,
sorry lovely town, but we will destroy you!

best regards,

new songs

2009-11-28T05:32:00.000-08:00

little mario is alive and well again. we hope you'll like our newest stuff we wrote last week. if you're interested in the new lyrics, here you have one of them, called vault.

vault
we are the outcasts, banished and reviled by the ones who dwell above. here in the filth and darkness we claw out a wretched existence. we are the outcasts! we are denial! everything we touch is laid to waste.

get well soon, little mario...

2009-11-19T09:16:00.000-08:00

as everybody noticed we weren't able to play the show last night together with rise and fall & iron age 'cause of mario's illness. he has the swine flu. okay, maybe it's just a common cold, but the swine flu sounds better these days. thanks again to feeding time who jumped in spontaneously.

linz review: late night escalation

2009-11-15T12:16:00.000-08:00

the show was quite cool. endbringer and goldust were both really good!

but the real show started when the lights went out. it all began with mario and daniel emptying a two liter bottle of wine, though the outcoming effects were not as bad as everybody expected. after they performed some stagedives on three or less people to goldust, we headed to a bar named "burnside". a neat location i have to admit, mostly due to the fact that sabina (drama booking) took the task of the dj, so the music was more than acceptable. mario (hairy one) was already tired out and understandably pissed 'cause he had work on the following day. mario (little one), daniel and floki (one of the three cuties behind drama booking) ordered approximately 10 rounds of whiskey redbull/tequilla/vodka redbull. after some time mario (little one) magically lost his shirt. it came to the point that daniel needed 73 cents so desperately, he would have pledged his soul to me just to keep up his amazing drunken state.

at 2:15 am we decided to go back to the ann and pat, the location we played and additionally were supposted to sleep at. the 5-minute-walk to "burnside" turned into a 45-minute-walk back to where we came from. the reasons were the inability of walking straight of our drunken ones (as can be seen by the wounds on mario's shoulder, knee, forehead, fingers, shin and ellbow... and of course his blood tainted pants and jacket), as well as the incidence of mario (little one) running around in linz' inner city, completely exposing his genitals (little ones). and who would have expected, those two started throwing up as soon as we arrived at ann and pat. their evening ended for both of them sharing one toilet bowl to vomit in. the morning after, we prepared for our trip home and the only thing daniel could remember was a little penis attacking him while he was embracing the toilet bowl.

so thanks to daniel and mario, we now are an official party band... if you believe our german friends from endbringer and goldust. and of course especially thanks to drama booking for this great night. we surely fell in love with linz!

germany, listen up

2009-11-08T09:06:00.000-08:00

we're coming back on the 19th of december. just for one show, but we're planning a longer tour in july 2010 together with our friends in juggernaut!

19.12.09:
w/ trash talk, infected, written
@ exil, neustadt an der orla

come and hang out.
party? ok!

dictaphone

2009-11-05T13:17:00.000-08:00

berlin...

2009-10-21T01:27:00.000-07:00

the night, we spent in our bus, was the coldest night of our lives. after we got up, we tried to kill some time searching for THE perfect leather jacket. small mario found it, but it was waaaay to expensive (about one million euros)! by the way, parking in berlin is like mission impossible. then we drove to the yellow dog to meet up with marco and mario who organized the show. both very friendly! food and tabletop soccer at the köpi were good and after that we played a more than just funny show in the koma f, the basement of the köpi. sadly 'ape attack' cancelled thier show, but blood command from norway jumped in, were quite good. then we drove to marco's place were we slept. this flat is awesome, about 300m² big. now we're sitting here, playing wii, smoking cigarettes, waiting for little mario to get out of the shower and then we're off to nürnberg, our last show in germany. looking forward! so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!

ps: vienna, we're coming for you!

new lyrics

2009-09-10T08:03:00.000-07:00

we have three new songs. those and some more will be released on a split 10" with feeding time, infected and memorial. here are the lyrics:

My loss
Only through destroying myself I can hide the power of my mind. No love! Living in my cave of selfish wisdom, isolated with so long desired void. Never again, Never again! You made me swallow my entire pride. My failures brought me to this. Were we the ones to fucking blame or am I born to die alone? Leave me alone! Today I’ll pay for all my sins. I am alone! I have deserved my seat in hell.

Counterpart
You jealous bastard wants to see me fail. If my hand is a sledge then you’re my nail. You have nothing that you can call your own, and no place that you can call your home. I look into your eyes and all I see is just another fucking image of me. Stay away! I hate you more than you hate me. I never let you take what’s mine!

Tempest
All of us are running riot tonight. We're gonna walk all over your guts. Cross them out, burn the streets. We're gonna steal your skies.

20th august 2009, centro once

demo lyrics

2009-09-10T07:12:00.000-07:00

here are all the lyrics from the demo:

Skullfucked
Destroy the city and kill its townsfolk. Drop dead priests and burning monks. Holy panic on the streets. Urban plagues can’t see no hope. Learn my language free from words. Nobody’s ear would ever hear. Answers were written on my tongue. The sane humanity come undone. I fuck your skulls. You’re skullfucked.

Fast Animals, Slow Children
I rape your god. I hate your god. I’m my own god. Your holy god is a fucking liar. And his marionettes aren’t better. Praying pricks without any doubt. Burn his church down to the ground. Watch them burn. My world is godless. I am the antichrist.

Odio
Misanthropy. Ice age. Hate everyone and stay cold, the story that I have ever told.

20080509
You said leave right now and stop pretending. All we had is now just void and less than nothing. Lost something I can never replace. I got fucked by my own mistakes. I don't want to live my life with all its shit again and all this fuckin’ self doubt wipes out the way I am. So what is this worth living for, when nothing’s gonna last and everything I’ve ever loved lies rotten in the past. Let me forget.

Deep Sleep
How many times I wished me on a better place. Just a single spot without fear and rage. I dogged to coin my own soul saving dream. My body fell asleep, never in mind to wake again. Deep Sleep. Abscond into my dreaming world. Don’t try to wake me cause I’m already gone. My soul’s on a place you will never know.

Alpha and Omega
I am the grudge, you’re my personal drudge. I am the doom and I’m descending soon. I am the siege, hail my victory speech. I am the world, fear my almighty word. Spotlight on me and watch my will breaking free. I’m your sovereign might, the decay you can’t fight. All eyes on me, your judge is what I’ll be. This is my demand, my wish is your command. I am everything. And rising from the sin. Proclaiming me your king. I am Alpha and Omega.

True Colors
A long time too late for your apologize. Saw your furtiveness with my own eyes. Fuck you, you fucking liar. I wish I ignored you when we first met. Treasons and lies until the end. Unmask your disguise and show your own demise. I shouldn’t ever give a fuck about you. Think you’ve eaten knowledge, but you don’t have a clue. You’re just another fucking two-faced prick to me.

Scum
You can never bring back those past days you praise. So take your flag and blind your eyes. Blind them from your self-made lies. Stand in line with hands held high. Vile shouts echoing in the sky. Fuck your absurd values. So take your flag and blind your eyes. Blind them from your self-made lies. Your lies. Blind eyes. Last breath. Your death.
