1. Il Diavolo In Me

(I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick)

I'm sick and tired of feeling nostalgic
For things I've done in the past
I want to breathe the future
Without engulfing the past

Behold my resurrection!
Behold the rage of aggression!
Day after day, the anger rises!
Beyond comprehension, sanity is dead!!!

Pushed over the edge
Feel the pain I bear (I bear)
Cross thy path if you dare

All you see is this dead stare

Deep down the roots of my persona,
I feel the wrath
Destiny has brought us face to face - At last
This is the final stand
The final stand (at last)

Everytime I rise, somebody has died
Can't convert this rage inside
I've killed in order to survive
Now I kill, because I'm deprived
I really want to change, I feel shame

But there's something inside driving me insane!!!! (Insane/insane/insane)

Non posso cambiare Il destino
Quanto il diavolo in me?

(I cannot change my destiny....
How much is the devil in me?!)


2. Dmanation Is Here

As the sky darkens, the warriors awaken
The feeble have fallen, opposition is weaken

Strategic in play, trapped in vein
Annihilated
In dust...damnation is now!

Damnation is here......
Are you ready to burn?
Damnation is here!

Wounded souls in a tragic time
Victims of oppression from a conquering tribe
To find a new identity, in assimilation or extinction?
Buried beneath a sea of rage their history is lost in shame
Prisoners of power...left to be devoured!

Damnation is here....
Are you ready to burn?
Damnation is here....

Buried beneath a sea of rage, their history is lost in shame
Prisoners of power...left to be devoured!


3. Era Of The Mercyless

Listen as I dictate the future
This republic most come to an end!
Proclaim the emperor
To lead the people
And give this land the fruits of the world
Together we shall stand
At the height of majesty

Strength and honor for the glory of Rome
One day we will roam
There's no forgiveness
In the era of the mercyless

I've seen it in the eyes of the gods
I've seen the birth of a new world
Preach the truth - Preach the logic

Strength and honor for the glory of Rome
One day we will roam
There's no forgiveness
In the era of the mercyless

"I ,Julius Caesar, will free Rome
From its corruption,
And only then will our children prosper"

Set forth legions of Rome
To conquer this world in vein with blade

Strength and honor for the glory of Rome
One day we will roam
There's no forgiveness
In the era of the mercyless

"Roma Victor!"


4. As The Glorious Weep

Wealth, greed, selfishness
Surrounds the empire
Pain and sufferance are no more
Military recruits decrease
Democracy reign supreme
Honor replaced by material necessity...

No roman blood for war...Rebellion grows...

Mercenary for hire, losing faith
500 years about to crumble
Underneath the beautiful lays to horrid
Brokendown, buried in flames
The empire shivers in fear

As the glorious weep - The fire sleeps
No one shall save the weak
And as the glorious weep - The fire sleeps
The sword enters so deep

No roman blood for war - Rebellion grows...

Wisigoths, Astaroths
Barbarian hordes
Devastate from the inside
The west is lost
Slowly Rome falls to Elysium
As the glorious weep - The fire sleeps
No one shall save the weak
And as the glorious weep - The fire sleeps
The sword enters so deep


5. Shivers Of A New World

I hear the distant cry of human evolution
Driven to vanquish to no disillusion
I am the one you despise
The one who brings great change

The equivalent of fear...
Of all that is strange
To a simple mind in a complicated time

You see...I don't fear the things you fear
As life is a lost battle that you hold dear
All that is old turns to rust
The same way your flesh will turn to dust

Can you feel the shivers going down your spine?

Til the next seed of life
That will bring resurrection
The same way your ancestors
Kept the fire burning

I will bring revolution
The sun will rise again
And I will make you feel
The shivers of a new world

Shivers..."feel the change"...
Of..."its all thesame"...
A..."mindgame"...
New World!!!

The quest for eternity continues...
The quest for eternity is here...


6. Manipulator Of Souls

I manipulate your soul!
Deep inside the core!
Raping your existence!
In darkness!!

I will control desire
I will control your thoughts
I will be your guiding light
In the dark ways of fear and pain

I will embody your mind
Witness the fire rise
Obey my command
As you lay still in the womb of hate

Fear is the mind as the mind is the fear
Control the soul that controls your soul
Or forever be a slave!

I will control desire
I will control your thoughts
I will be your guiding light
In the dark ways of fear and pain

I will embody your mind
Witness the fire rise
Obey my command
As you lay still in the womb of hate

Fear is the mind as the mind is the fear
Control the soul that controls your soul

"We will tear your soul apart!"

I manipulate your soul!
Deep inside the core!
Raping your existence!
In darkness!!!


7. Wounds

If you exist...
Why don't you heal my wounds?
If you're God...
Release me from this tomb!

Why don't you heal my wounds?
Release me from this tomb!

Don't you care?!
Why...Don't you care?!

About all whom have died
In the name of the father
And the son
And the holy spirit

Tell me why you betray
The ones you're supposed to love
I've seen innocent men fall
I've seen darkenened souls live forever
Praying changed nothing so I fall chameless
To the wound called existence
I fear nothing but myself...

...Don't you care?!
Why..Don't you care?!

About all whom have died...
In the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit

Tell me why you betray....
The ones you're supposed to love

If you exist...
Why don't you heal my wounds?
If you're God...
Release me from this tomb!

Why don't you heal my wounds?
Release me from this tomb!

I've seen innocent man fall
I've seen darkend souls live forever
Praying changed nothing, so I fall shameless....
...To the wound called existence
I fear nothing but myself...


8. What We Endure

A decade in the making,
10 years born through anger,
>From fantasy to reality and into the mind,
Prospered and fallen,
We've open doors that seem forever closed,
Northern Hyperblast legions worldwide [fans of Kataklysm's unique death 
metal]
Loyal to the sounds of devastation
We've walked through "THE MYSTICAL GATE",
Into the magic of "SORCERY",
We've entered the "TEMPLE OF KNOWLEDGE",
Just to fall "VICTIM OF THIS FALLEN WORLD".....
Reborn through "THE PROPHECY"
Prepare for this "EPIC" stand!

The fire burns in our heart
There's no fear for the originators
Of the light speed blast - Underground bound!

What we've endured...The ups, the downs
What we've endured...and all the shit that's in between
What we endured...The criticism*
What we've endured...And no recognition
What we endured...for being extreme*

Do you understand...Do you?..
Do you understand who we are?

WHAT WE ENDURED
...The ups, the down
...and all the shit that's in between
...The criticism*
...And no recognition
...for being extreme*

But we would do it all over again,
Because you're the reason we exist!

[*too extreme/chaotic for the times in the early 90's when we started]


9. When Time Stands Still

Have you ever felt
Like the walls are closing in?
Like your world is about to end?

Trapped in a place where you can't escape
Feeling desperate to breath again
To cast away that moment of insanity
And feel no more pain in solitude and despair

I close my eyes and hope to die
Trying to find and understand
The things I left behind

Bring me something to feel!
I said...
Bring me somthing to feel!
Hear me!...

Have you ever felt
Like the walls are closing in?
Like your world is about to end?

Trapped in a place where you can't escape
Feeling desperate to breath again
To cast away that moment of insanity
And feel no more pain in solitude and despair

I close my eyes and hope to die....
Trying to find and understand
The things I left behind

I was denied
Everytime I tried to capture
The reasons to my life

When time stands still, you'll look into my eyes
Wondering why this world has died

"I cannot die...I am forever..."
