WINTER SOUL LYRICS

1. Reactor

Cold war's land of desertion
Comrades fell under glowing skies
Black Cloud
Radioactive
Toxic ashes burned their eyes

Under glowing skies
A city dies

I walk the deserted streets
I walk the poisoned woods
Witness the place of ruin
Where homes once stood

Again
Never again
Forever drained
Forever to be the same
The cost remains:
Guilt and pain
A world insane

Fire of Prometheus
Enslaved to generate
Freed itself from it's concrete tomb
To irradiate

Collective amnesia
They closed their eyes
Death toll's a secret
How many died?

From across the union
600,000 came
For liquidation
No-one Remains

"1986
26/4
01:24
Atomgrad dies"

2. Black Widow

Humanoid apocalypse
Destruction's cause
Nocturnal snare
Born of the wars

Manipulation, control
The souls she steals
All infected lie

Conflict's her drug
Flowing through her veins
Extracting opium
From our remains

Evil's shadow
Disease of this place
Black Widow hates

Evil's shadow
All hope from this place
Black Widow takes

Treacherous pretense
Decadent lure
Inquisition obscure

All the trusting
Now set aflame
Her conflagration
To entertain

"Have you met this creature?
She goes by many names
A thousand incarnations
Yet they are all the same

They weave their web around you
To capture and ensnare
Consume you and forget you
Like you were never there"

3. Stargazer

Again I dreamt I could save your life
I'd drink your poison, take your knife
I'd bear the world's pain meant for you
Embrace this stake they've tied to you

Look to your stars when pain returns
My hands are tied, your barricades burn
Celestial gazes are misplaced
In this heartless, moonless place

You chose from the earliest time
To let them burn you within
They left behind this orphan heart
And addicted you to their sin

Drink in all the pleasure
Won't get you out
You're still alone
When it all runs out

You're still alone
When the lights go out

"My star has failed to guide me
For stubborn is my way
I'll take a pill, another drink
Pretend that it's okay"

4. Legacy Of Violence

Ambiguity rules
Unwilling, initiate the game
Prediction, fulfilling itself
You judge them all the same

Malefactor obscure
He had nothing to lose
You want to see something really intense?
I've got a ghost for you

Deceive me
Treat me with contempt
Delete me
Why do you fear?

Grey, grey
A shroud of ashes
You try to pray

Question it all
Explain us away
As your soul decays

"With glazed eyes
And mirror smiles
There he defiles
And she beguiles

And one falls, as the cord chokes the color
From both, from one, or from the other

From soul of one or souls of two

My deepest art is exquisetly wasted on you"

5. KGB

Spectre to beguile
Defector, a spy
Under interrogation
No answers when you ask why

New tactics employed
Infiltrate to destroy
Minefields, your mind yields
To advances of the enemy

You are the enemy
You hide, I see
Release the chaos onto our streets

You are the enemy
You hide, I see
Now captive
You will never be free

Intent on sabotage
They got inside
Claiming pure intentions
Another lie

Not forgive, not forget
Not forgive, never forget
Not forgive, not forget
Not forgive, never regret

We are the bringers of revenge
We will be your end
We do not forgive, we do not forget
We do not forgive, We will never forget

"And what shall we do
With each others secrets?

Mutual Assured Destruction

We never forget"

6. Ritual Abuse

And we live to believe
That we can be saved
Bred for a solution
It's the way of the slave

Divided in life, as in death
As decreed by this page
Our confused existence
Ignorance, our cage

Raised to condone and accept
The ritual abuse
Enslaved nations
Children of the curse

Pay with your life
Embrace the suicide
None survive
Surrender you soul
For a lie

Pre-natal infusion
The propaganda in it's Sunday best
Enforced opinions
You enslave the rest

I reject your truth
And you reject mine
Then let's go to war
And let our gods decide our fate

Pay with your life
Embrace the suicide
None survive
Surrender your soul
For a lie
For their lives

"Encore
The ubiquitous masquerade
A danse macabre
No.Free.Choice
Foreknowledge and pre-ordination
Semper Idem
Recycle your god"

7. Ghosts Of Time

Past almost forgotten
In a life I did not choose
Torn away
I was removed

One final token
The token of regret
Then swept into deserts
I did not want to forget

Corners of our eyes
They evade and obscure
Lurking in shadows
There is no cure

Devouring the ages
Spirits of decay
All has turned to ashes
All, as dust, now blown away

As we lay dying
They sweep in to claim their prize
Grabbing hold of the remnant years
Await the closing of eyes

Daylight fading in children's eyes
Twilight closing in
To drag you away, drag you under
How could I let it end this way

"Returning to a windswept plain
Splinters of familiarity
Embedded in time's patine
Remnants
Why can't I remember"

8. Battery

Lacerations, you hide from the world
Fear etched into your flesh
You cover your bruises, manifested rage
Blow by blow to forge your soul a cage

Drained of power, see yourself corrode
And empty shell, depleted electrode
A thousand horrors, a life you regret
Selective memory makes you forget

She tried to end it, this time a razor blade
Never speak, never tell:
Abusive cycle of hell

Isolation, alone in your world
No penetration, where your soul resides
A posion that you couldn't find
Hidden in the silence in the back of your mind

"An Installation
Repelling all who seek understanding
Live on lust, live on fame
But when you're alone
The splinter in your conscience
Still whispers to you"

9. The Bokor

Fringes of acceptance
Is this the norm?
Passion or obsession?
Borderline perception

Given over to the android ghost
Utopian lover
An engineered hope

You're my creation
Resurrected your ghost
You are the icon
Of the things I loved most

I am the Bokor
I re-animate
I exhume remembrance
It's never too late

You'll live forever
In your zombie state
I am the Bokor
I re-animate

"You've been here a long time
Maybe sometime soon
I'll unwrap your bandages
And place your soul in a living body
Just for a while
Just to see if you've changed
I hope not"
