The inevitable truth (Split 7" with Bruce Banner)


NOTHING
seems like we´ve forgotten all the facts
and replaced them with lies to fill the gaps
but truth tore a hole
like a twisting knife
but then the lies creep in
and keep me hanging for another beating

(Stolen from Henry Rollins' book See A Grown Man Cry.
It feels like we feel the same about that truth hurts
so much and life becomes easier to live with just the
smallest lie...)


PROZAC GENERATION
backward progress
numbest minds
sharpest knife
problems shuved

dragged down
hate grows
red fist
molotov
revolution

(A simple way, work until you're so full
of anger and hate towards society and your
bosses that you just want to clench your
fist and say "I've had enough of this shit,
so it's big time for a revolution"...
AND prozac is just a metaphor for the stupid
human living in chains through an entire lifetime)


THE REVENGE
she likes the weight of the hammer in her hand
his light breaths in bed
the sheet raised, lowered, lowered, raised
his head – a shadow against the wall
she picks up the hammer, looks down at his face
a meaningless face, an insignificant face
raises the hammer, lets it fall
down to his head
do it while you still can
once to break
once to not loose pace
once just to make sure…

THE AWAKENING
can´t wait too long
no code of honor
she must hit first.
hit and run
nobody saves the one who sits alone and waits
a flow of energy
he's insignificant, soon to be nonexistent
an itching rash, a scab to pick

the inevitable truth:
better to be the butcher than the lamb

(After reading Helen Zahavi's book "Dirty Weekend"
some things came clear to me. The story: A man following
a woman, making her feel smaller for each day, and in the
end she sees no other way than killing him. That's what
"The awakening" and "The Revenge" is about.
Most of the words and phrases stolen.)

THEIR CONTROL
here among trees in the deepest forest
monks and nuns can secretly meet
beyond all control and guardian eyes

(Stolen from Torbjorn Safve. I just thought this metaphor
about monks and nuns as controlled individuals was brilliant.
I feel I have to share my love for Big Brother with you...)

Solace denied 7"


SOMEDAY I WILL KILL
"on your fucking knees
i dont care if you bleed"
over time dead time
do it till you die

want to burn this place
see it dissapear
no more slavery
in the end im free

SORT THEM OUT
time to set
the record straight
disguised with masks
looking just like pigs

"hands against the wall
spread your legs
shut your moth
dont show your face"

a headshot for each one of them
sort them out

(the thought of giving the pigs some of their own
medicine would make my day)

ASHES
with honour
give up your body
save the sick and dying
nothing to fear

a way out of living hell
a way into death

now you die
die for nothing
all this was known
to those above
your scream for help
will get you nothing
one million down
one billion to go

a way out of living hell
looking for a way out of misery
a way out of living hell
a way into death

(the chinese government was on the hunt for blood for operations and took blood from the poorest parts of china. The needles were never sterile and spread HIV to approx. one million innocent citizens.)

NÄR JAG FALLER
när allting faller allt blir svart
ner i djupet av förakt
misstro och avsky
för allt levande o dött
där allt står still
jag den värsta
jorden fött

min själ
är som ett sandslott
förstört av regn
och av vind
den skadade märgen smärtar
när min ryggrad brister
sjuk värld på svaga axlar
avgrundsvrål för döva öron

sjuk värld på svaga axlar
avgrundsvrål för döva öron

BLACK ROSE
i set myself
journey into my mind
an abyss
down to hell

darkness darker
than night
a fist of memories
coming back

i'm beaten by secrets
noone knew
fear and anger
fighting

fear and anger
fighting for outlet but never let out
the dark scares me

MED LIVET SOM INSATS
det har hänt förut
och kommer hända igen
missnöjets yttring, gatans revolt
folkets vrede mot maktens kulor

sänk aldrig din knutna näve
vänd aldrig ryggen till
med livet som insats på brinnande barrikad

att aldrig ens försöka är lika med att dö
sluta sina ögon, ge upp och fly

folkets vrede mot maktens kulor

sänk aldrig din knutna näve
vänd aldrig ryggen till
med livet som insats
på brinnande barrikad
det sista som lämnar dig
innan kulan träffar
är hoppet om folkets makt
revolution

(cops ruined my last hope for democracy by shooting people around europe last summer)

Polargrinder 12" compilation


SWALLOW
...then the same disaster occurs
as when you put snakes in a jar:
the bigger eat the smaller
and in the end only the cruelest reamins
from hunger it devours itself
take its tail in its mouth
and eats it bit by bit

ALL THIS FEAR
red eyes broken down
fear of waking up
living means feeling
feeling means defeat
don't ever wanna wake up

if only i could understand
the reason for my crying
if only i could stop this fear
of dreaming that im dying

outside me im blooming
inside me im dry
living means feeling
feeeling means defeat
all this fear of dying

if only i could understand
the reason for my crying
if only i could stop this fear
of dreaming that im dying

all this fear

Swedish Assault CD-compilation


RETALIATION
lyrics deleted, fuck your war

CIVILIZATION
climbing higher
step over anything
in their way
walk the line of the man

not scared anymore
i'm coming for you
let there be heads rolling
we're coming for you

scum die laughing from the bombs
we stole from you
and put on your backyard

AUTOMATION
global structure of power
the total destruction is near
despair about the fact
that mankind has failed

soulless automations
loosing human grace
soulless imitations
we're dying in this cage

gazing up to the face
it won´t take us forty years
and what happens here
is always and forever

soulless automations
loosing human grace
soulless imitations
we're dying in this cage

(reading the book 1984 over and over again makes me realise how the future will look like, or even worse than Orwell's predictions. The "fourty years" in the lyrics is the age of Winston as he starts the personal struggle and the search of the underground resistance.)

COMPULSION
just a slave
one foot in the grave
let me forever close my eyes
no power left
no strength no will
don't try to force me
there's no use

i will just wrap my lips around
the cold barrel and throw the dice

it always gets me
it always will

(always ask for more in life than a job that hates you)

STAGNATION
slow spiral downwards
don't expect a thing anymore
there's only disappointment
that's the only reward

blank stares screaming inside
but the lips are still
no words can ever say this
i don't want to live here anymore

dedicated to nothing

downward spiral

(...but still, sometimes it's hard to make your life worth living)

CONFRONTATION
confrontation
hard as stone cold as ice
desperation
i'm dying again and again
separation
i'm leaving this place now
intoxication
can't think straight at all

the point of no return
i'll burn in your fire again

destination
what's the fucking point
explanation
don't make me do this again
damn this nation
i'm leaving this place now
resignation
thanks for nothing
thanks to you

the point of no return
i'll burn in your fire again

(play this song LOUD and think of the times you've been left
by someone you love)

Sayyadina/No Value split 7"


OPPRESSION
can not breathe
water up to here
the good in life
is just an illusion
i stay down here
in safety
broken glass
will only cut deeper

can and will not
live up to it

looking down
looking up
the meaningless of living
overwhelms me
i will explode
with no sound
and disappear
just like dust

can and will not
live up to it

shifting to higher levels
only to see
there is nothing more to this
this means the end

can and will not
live up to it


FUTURE DIGITS
got no names anymore
just numbers
a combination of digits
only for control

a number in your head
your name in their system
some try to hide it well
some show it with pride

dead before birth
into competition
treaten like shit from that day
and on till now

wearing blue uniforms
knocking heads to pieces
pointing their guns
killing just for fun

but point that at me and i'll explode
and take as many as i can with me


RAZOR DISCIPLINE
rip the skin and flesh from my bone
take away the nerves from my soul

bring the knife
the instruments
suck my soul
from head to toe

release me, from all this pain

rip the skin and flesh from my bone
take away the nerves from my soul


SOLITUDE
through the darkness
through the void
travelling night time
all alone
a solitary
death train ride
emptiness
is by my side

emptiness is by my side

is it only
fear of dying
is it only
lack of hope
is it just
this fucked up place
i'm just waiting
to explode


LAST DAYS MAKE THE LEAST
thinking of death these days
as a companion i long to meet
i'm just an experiment to others
just a fucking test

last days
make the least
ease the pain
the mask is fallen

falling into darkness
watching the windows fade
this is the fire i'm going through
this is my destiny

last days
make the least
ease the pain
the mask is fallen



Fear Gave Us Wings CD/LP


18 HRS
all trees are gone
no trace, a face
a fading reminder
immortality ain't all

it's been 18 hours and 16 days
since you stripped it all away
can't sleep at night, can't sleep all day
a black hole, not painted, it's real

all trees are gone
no trace, a face
a fading reminder
immortality ain't all

is this really what we're getting?
gravity, take us back, bring us back to real
we're split in two or even thosands
seems like it doesn't make a difference anymore

remind us, or don't
we'll be anything you say
remind us, or don't
we'll be anything you say

it's been 18 hours and 16 days
since you stripped it all away
can't sleep at night, can't sleep all day
a black hole, not painted, it's real


DEAR DIARY
keeping away, holding distance
spending time all alone
watch myself fall apart
rot inside, drown in sweat
need someone to bring me up
or i will end up dead

i'll hurt myself, i'll reject you
i'll break and eat this glass
the pain will prove that i'm alive
the blood will make me see

no reason, i got nothing
to accomplish or to gain
never asked to take part
in this stupid, fucked up game
everything's meaningless
hope i'll soon end up dead


THE HOLY WAR
the holy war, who started it?
does it even matter?
who will suffer and who will win?
does it ever matter?
starvation and poverty continues on and on
the holy war fighting an unknown

i'm holding on to individual thoughts
not a collective hateful mind
the threat is colored red, white and blue
tanks, guns and b-52s

the holy war, who started it?
does it even matter?
who will suffer and who will win?
does it ever matter?
a threat to your sick values of world domination
a one way ticket to hell

i'm holding on to individual thoughts
not a collective hateful mind
the threat is colored red, white and blue
tanks, guns and b-52s


ALL THIS FEAR
red eyes broken down
fear of waking up
living means feeling
feeling means defeat
don't ever wanna wake up

if only i could understand
the reason for my crying
if only i could stop this fear
of dreaming that i'm dying

outside me i'm blooming
inside me i'm dry
living means feeling
feeling means defeat
all this fear of dying

if only i could understand
the reason for my crying
if only i could stop this fear
of dreaming that i'm dying

all this fear


UNDER ONDSKANS PUPILL
ondskans rätta ansikte är synligt
hatet har slagit sin klo

slutet är nära, gränsen inom synhåll
kollapsen stundar, botten är nådd

skräck och förtvivlan
ovisshet och oro
en krypande känsla
allt har gått snett

att ropa på hjälp tjänar ingenting till
ingen kan hjälpa och få som ens vill
att ropa på hjälp tjänar ingenting till
vem tror du bryr sig under ondskans pupill?

slutet är nära, gränsen inom synhåll
kollapsen stundar, botten är nådd

öppnar mina ögon, sliter upp dom med våld
en iskall plats där allt är förstört
dom som ännu lever vet att det är kört
av min forna värld finns ingenting kvar


HOMEGROWN TERRORISM
the world will never listen
the world will never change
the world will never see
the world is going down

nailbombs, nailbombs, nailbombs
i'll put them in the smartest places
taking out so many but still too few
the reflection of the fire in my eyes

triggers, bullets, grenades and arms
i'll shoot from the smartest places
taking out so many but still too few
the reflection of the fear in my eyes

the world will never listen
the world will never change
the world will never see
the world is going down


BLIND OCH DÖV ELLER BARA DUM I HUVET?
håna mig, skratta ut mig
gör mig till åtlöje
var så god? så du tar för dig
jag bjuder visst på allt?

din väg till framgång
din väg till makt
ditt sätt att njuta
du skyr inga medel
skiter i allt
visar ingen respekt

hänsynslöst
tar du dig fram
på andras bekostnad
lyhörd? knappast
du går över lik
ditt jävla svin

(The title translates to "Blind and deaf or just stupid?" Initially it's about a certain person I had to work with who takes himself too seriously, with absolutely no distance to himself, who snaps right away if you joke about (or even with) him, but he amuses himself at someone else's expense all the time. In the end the song turned out to just be about people with no respect for others.)


LOSING FAITH
you must lose faith in humanity to keep sane
humanity is an ocean of blood and shame
a few drops are fresh, but a thosand years is way too long
races erased, millions killed

where there is hate and power
there is life
all dreams shattered, the door is closed
the key thrown away

being dragged to this level
entrapped in endless and hopeless wait
losing faith and hope, no escape
no security and this cloud will bring us down

where there is hate and power
there is life
all dreams shattered, the door is closed
the key thrown away


CIVILIZED CONTROL
pure hate flows in the veins of the free
time and time again the sheep gives it away
the suffering of a world
population means nothing at all

those who want to live in line
choose the narcotic
of ultimate enslavement
those who want to live in line
conformity

pure hate flows in the veins of the free
time and time again the sheep gives it away
the suffering of a world
population means nothing

nothing at all


NEGLECTED
the blood on your face is not evidence enough
not a proof that you're not safe
scars and bruises, praxis in your life
you'll be hunted every single day

17 years you could bear
but one minute of abuse is too much
responsibility thrown around like hot iron
just because they would not relate

no one will save you
no one will care
there's no shelter
no place to turn

you slipped so easily through the system
only because we didn't stop and listen
your case is as old as the human race
it sickens me to see that fear in your face

no one will save you
no one will care
there's no shelter
no place to turn

the blood on your face is not evidence enough
not a proof that you are not safe
scars and bruises, it's praxis in your life
you'll be hunted every single day


PROFFS PÅ LÅTSAS
om jag var hälften så bra
på någonting
som du tror du är på allt
vore jag nöjd

(Another song about that guy at my previous job. Yes, he was also a besserwisser. Translation: "If I was half as good at anything, as you think you are at everything, I'd be satisfied." The lyrics speak for themselves, I guess.)


SICK OF THIS WORLD
rotting away in endless streets
the corpses of our brothers decay
the fight, the war, was meaningless
the smallest lie swept under the carpet

sick, i'm so sick of this world
hopeless, the struggle is hopeless

lies and hate rise above us
talk of progression leads to regression
money spent on bombs and arms
this is the welfare state we dreamed of

sick, i'm so sick of this world
hopeless, the struggle is hopeless


TURNED INSIDE OUT
slowly now we start to move
with every breath i'm deeper
empty spots in darkness
nothing to fall back on

touch me once and you'll know it's true
i never wanted it to be like this
brand new, old, grey
controlling it to perfection

eye to eye, no words at all
inside out, skin off my face

slowly now we start to move
with every breath i'm deeper
seeing empty spots in darkness
and nothing to fall back on


THREE STRIKES
slowminded, innocent
never wanted at all
bad luck, wrong place
wrong time on time

for the life you took
we'll take yours
but we're not safe here
even when you're gone


THE LOSS
my sacred dedication
graduated with discharge
lost and still losing more
seems like it's all against me

spilling gas around the house
just trying to find a lighter
or a match
a second thought
search for a glimpse of regret
but i fail again and again

short time, no time
the truth shows at all times
we won't see, never see
never keep us from failing

spilling gas around the house
just trying to find a lighter
or a match
a second thought
search for a glimpse of regret
but i fail again and again

taking time out
from this miserable life
taking a break from a life
not worth living
losing on every front
losing time, losing mind

taking time out
from this miserable life
taking a break
from a life not worth living


OPPRESSION
can not breathe, water up to here
the good in life is just an illusion
i stay down here in safety
broken glass will only cut deeper

can and will not
live up to it
can and will not

looking down, looking up
the meaningless of living
overwhelms me
i will explode with no sound
and disappear just like dust

can and will not
live up to it
can and will not

shifting to higher levels
only to see
there's nothing more to this
this means the end

can and will not
live up to it
can and will not
live up to it


BENT OUT OF SHAPE
can reality be a fraud,
a fake beyond description?
is it all lies and mistakes?
did we come out clear
or are there pieces missing?
is the razor not as sharp anymore?

the perfect shape is bent
it's all just cold and bitter

demand answers, face the ghost
go beyond, look further, look ahead
but there is nothing to give us satisfaction
the answer is: it's all just a lie

the perfect shape is bent
it's all just cold and bitter


ENJOY THE SILENCE (WHILE YOU CAN)
i am the hollow, i speak in silence
i hear you all, but i feel nothing

sleepless nights
wake up in fear
all lights are gone now
in my castle, my grave

i am the hollow, i speak in silence
i hear you all, but i feel nothing

sleepless nights
wake up in fear
all lights are gone now

sleepless nights
wake up in fear
all lights are gone now
in my castle, my grave


MED LIVET SOM INSATS
det har hänt förut

missnöjets yttring
gatans revolt
