Age Of Agony
Your tired eyes cannot light your path
This weariness! It's hard to stay awake
Time goes by. You can't afford to waste away
Your mission needs your strenghts
In the dark it began
An irrational ban
Irreversable curse
I'm the only one left
With the might to fight back
In the battle of sound
Can't you tell, that you nearly missed
You've reached the end and it's coming strong
Fight your fear, no, you can't escape
Your fate, you're abused to justify it
Who created what I hear?
Every night all my fears
Stick together as one
Who composed all these themes
That pursue me in dreams?
Messengers of downfall
Age of agony
5th dimension nightmare
Death from the Rue d'Auseil
If Monsieur Blandot knew?
The window to the river...

True Lies
Hello, people, this is Jason back again on channel 5,
here are the news:
Mr. President declared his mind for peace and
admitted the Contra's support
..All we need is economical development!
A Congress member said: "He's wise..."
All I hear is lies (Guns for freedom)
But they're true lies
We are god damn manipulated
We are so guilty at their truth
It's our duty to be true to ourselves
They move the mountains, they force nature on it's knees
And they are your personal gods
Paper's patient, you can print the way you want it
Black on white - the reborn truth
There's danger in their speech, born from unholy greed
Their lies made them believe in it
Death, they welcome you with open arms
Theyre convinced of inexpressible inpudence
Theyre your ruin
They dictated what has been, so it will be again
The helpless will get no sight to compare

Confession Of Madness
Where do we go? Wake up people!
We're on a deadrace There is no time!
How can you believe it or trust it?
This system's proved that it's absurd
Settings signs
He tried to wake them up
Open up their eyes
But they don't even listened
They were all too busy
Facing just the end of the day
They never thought of tomorrow
Yes I know More you'll ever will!
Maybe I scare you I reflect what scared me!
Why do you all baffle my warning?
You'd better let this in your life!
Prosecution
For he'd disturbed their dreams
Distorting his speech
Being here on his own, now
With that vision he had seen
Yes I know, he ran out of mind
In another mental sphere

Hatred
Oh God, I'm so fed up with this conceited talks about right and unright,
with their so called important topics, while they cannot even look over
the rim of their coffee cups...
All they hear is their flesh
Talking 'bout the daily cash
If I could, believe me, I'd wipe them out
If I do, with a smile
I would free the world meanwhile
But, the hell, I can't kill them all
They are ruled by greed Talking against walls
Property's their God Fight the dumbness
Lazy bumps, without mind
For the real world they are blind
They got heads just to crash in their teeth
Listen here, there's no place
For this garbage of our race (mankind)
And what's more, for shame, they rule our land
Simple minded creeps If they would know
Banal in their deeds I can't get through
Hared, hatred, hatred (so you want it)
(I feel pleased to this)

Prophecy
Before the night is over
You'll be initiated too
You are elected for the world
You must be prepared when the time will come
Listen to the prophecy now
You're given from the great oldones
The music in your hands is a bastion
Why me? Tell me out there
Isn't it deceit man? Pay the price
Believe me! I am to weak
You have got an inner strenght, man. Ability's your might
Deceive me! Take my doubts away
You have got no choice man. It's the only way
What should I think of this?
'cause much too many have failed this way
Maybe it's just another paralogism
And my mind fools me now
I listen to the prophecy now
That I'm given from the great oldones
The music in my hands could be a bastion
Why me? Tell me out there
Isn't it deceit man? Pay the price
Believe me! I am to weak
You have got an inner strenght, man. Ability's your might
Deceive me! Take my doubts away
You have got no choice man. It's the only way

Memories Of Tomorrow
All alone, I feel cold inside
Loneliness, I'm the only one to know
I am one with my armchair (In memories
All night I'm playing for you I've
Though I know you won't thank me seen
What else is left to do? all this)
It is here I will defend you
Near and nearer Fight it back
One foot in the grave I have seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
In the grave I have seen this all before
Dear me Memories of tomorow
Once I was dead, I know I'llbe
I've diffracted it all on myself
Oh, can't this chalice pass by me (I'm thinking
Whay can't it be someone else back of
I've got to pay for the world now what
If not, There's no one to do will be)
It is here I will defend you
Near and nearer Fight it back
One foot in the grave I have seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
In the grave I have seen this all before
Dear me Memories of tomorow

I, King, Will Come
Now it came so far (with me)
I was really scared (ha, ha)
Today I'm risen from this sphere
I was to see at once
This is my kingdom, I'm best of it all
Today's Messiah, it's me
I, king will come
This is why I'm born
Beat me on the cross
They practise their rites (Wake up!)
Real ridiculous (What pope?)
They b'lieve that Jesus enforced all evil
Nothing could harm them no more
But chaos rules, they come from outta space
Come for enslaving this world... ...but
I, king will come
This is why I'm born
Beat me on the cross

The Final Deluge
In this night it happened I
Woke up early, I don't know why
The world drowned an an ominous
Silence, in a nervous rest
And I climbed up the old stairs
To the room of Erich Zann
What I saw, I can't forget
Through the old window, overdimensional gate
This deluge of music, and Zann laid down his life!
The bow was fiddling with no help
His glassy eyes stared with no life
In whirlwinds of unheard cadences
It came over us blind defenceless
All I know is I ran in panic
I've never seen this place again
What I saw, I can't forget
Through the old window, overdimensional gate
Zann gave his life at the final deluge!

Epilogue
With tired eyes, too soared to rest
I feel so cold inside
This weariness! But I can't sleep
It keeps me stay awake, oh, why?
Through the old window
From out of space
He must have seen it
Long time ago
I ran away from
The Rue d'Auseil
Where he banned our downfall
In other dimensions
And he gave his life away for the world to live on
What have we learned?
Nothing has changed.

Location made it hard for me to be on the tape trading circuit back in the day, so discovering this band in the 80s would have been hard from rural ohio. Glad I got to hear this now! Rivals all the stateside 2nd wave thrashers ! Recommend !

Probably the greatest metal album of the 1980s. It's pure perfection. Peerless songwriting.

The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality.
