DEATH '1990 -- SPIRITUAL HEALING -- LIVING MONSTROSITY Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner Every day blows by in the world of corrupt addiction With life comes pain withdrawals and deformation Breaking the mold of human appearance Contorting bodies with chemical interference The guilty one, innocent she now cries A life of hell, better off to die Born without eyes, hands, and half a brain Being born addicted to cocaine Living monstrosity A freak for life they'll always be Never knowing love or hate Only pain the drug creates 1st solo - Murphy, 2nd solo - Schuldiner Some say she's naive, she's stupid bitch Some say to forgive, guilty she should die The beginning of the end begins at birth Breeding masses of twisted screaming flesh An example we should make out of These creators of misfortune A serious crime that should be not forgiven The guilty one, innocent she now cries A life of hell, better off to die Born without eyes, hands, and half a brain Being born addicted to cocaine ALTERING THE FUTURE Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner/T. Butler Creating a life only to destroy ? Saved from a life of the unemployed Where crime is the only way to survive Which is the best, to be dead or alive ? Maybe a chance, but maybe not Born to be thrown in the trash to rot To exist in this world might be a mistake The one who is with child, it's their choice to make Death and life taken so easily Right or wrong, who's choice will it be ? Abortion, when it is needed Execution, for those that deserve it The giving and taking of life will always be Altering the future 1st solo - Schuldiner, 2nd solo - Murphy Look into the future to prepare us for our fate Controlling our existence with every life we take Life for a life should remain the rule The innocent victim, that is what's cruel Look to the past is what we should do When justice was done and justice was true Using our laws to help their escape An easy way out is what they create Claiming insane is the way to freedom People are stupid enough to believe them Death and life taken so easily Right or wrong, who's choice will it be ? Abortion, when it is needed Execution, for those that deserve it The giving and taking of life will always be DEFENSIVE PERSONALITIES Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner/T. Butler One mind divided into three, for every problem a personality Each one trying to protect, for the crisis a person they'll select With sorrow comes reassurance, with confusion there's ignorance Deny who they are, a fantasy gone too far Protecting the weak points of the mind Defensive Personalities Violent one minute, calm the next Defensive Personalities 1st solo - Schuldiner, 2nd solo - Murphy Passed down from generations, years of pain and complications Darkness was a punishment, memories time cannot mend Brutalized from the day of birth, to reality they can't return Existing in a world of three lives inside of one Protecting the weak points of the mind Defensive Personalities Violent one minute, calm the next Defensive Personalities WITHIN THE MIND Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner/J. Murphy Transforming your life from the inside out Overcoming fear that made you doubt Observing what is stored in the subconscious Trusting what you feel with your responses See past the dark and use your energy Learn from these images Thoughts that we call dreams This power lies within the mind Gain wisdom through abilities Change what's to come in future time Avoiding pain and misery Solo - Murphy Look through the fake for what is real Making decisions by what you feel Live for the future and not the past The weak of mind will never last Perceiving from visions that reoccur Analyze your dreams to gain A better perspective of your life In control of your destiny with mind and soul See past the dark and use your energy Learn from the images Thoughts that we call dreams This power lies within the mind Gain wisdom through abilities Change what's to come in future time Avoiding pain and misery Solo - Schuldiner SPIRITUAL HEALING Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner Always locking the doors to your mind Escaping the reality that surrounds you Using faith as an excuse to kill A sick way of life is now revealed All the prayers in the world can't help you now A killer, a taker of life is what you are Preach the good word Speak no more, prepare to burn A justified torture ? From this may others learn The life you took a holy death, a grave mistake No changing your mind, your life you should pay Practice what you preach Your loved one is now deceased Knowledge is at our hands Never to understand Spiritual Healing 1st solo - Schuldiner, 2nd solo - Murphy Blinded by the twisted ways you live Kill for religion, will the Lord forgive ? Idiocy has stricken your mind A real - life hell you will find LOW LIFE Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner/J. Murphy/T. Butler Those who are a waste of life Use up air that others could breathe Human leaches all around Looking superior is what they believe Fake is a word you represent Your existence on earth I resent At the cost of others you get by Each word that you speak is a lie Low life - that's you'll ever be Lies in effect - that's what you like to see Hiding behind material values That help cover up your weakness Never to change, always to look For an easy way out of life 1st solo - Murphy, 2nd solo - Schuldiner, 3rd - Murphy 4th - Schuldiner, 5th - Murphy, 6th - Schuldiner A pathetic excuse for a human being Nothing to back you up, never giving second thought Thinking you fool the world, into seeing something you are not Fake is a word you represent Your existence on earth I resent At the cost of others you get by Each word that you speak is a lie Low life - that's you'll ever be Lies in effect - that's what you like to see GENETIC RECONSTRUCTION Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner/J. Murphy/T. Butler Extending a life with total resistance To fatal disease, future methods of science Replacing what is real by using technology Population control, selecting those who will breed A specific type of form chosen for the unborn A mind without emotion Progressive anatomy Genetic Reconstruction Evolution in Production 1st solo - Murphy, 2nd solo - Schuldiner Producing a race of human machines A new age of existence the world will see Replacing what is real by using technology Population control, selecting those who will breed A specific type of form chosen for the unborn A mind without emotion Progressive anatomy Genetic Reconstruction Evolution in Production KILLING SPREE Lyrics: C. Schuldiner Music : C. Schuldiner/J. Murphy To the world around he was the perfect person Planning for an alibi he then starts rehearsing A human bomb just waiting to explode This secret rage can't be controlled Slaughtered the dreams of others One left to recover Self-inflicted wounds Life he has consumed Planning a killing spree Victim of a conspiracy ? Getting bored with his current life Rearranging with a knife 1st solo - Murphy, 2nd solo - Schuldiner Greed before despair suspicions start to grow His life was spared for this he does not know Screams filled the air there was no way to help The ones he mourns he killed himself Slaughtered the dreams of others One left to recover Self-inflicted wounds Life he has consumed Planning a killing spree Victim of a conspiracy ?
