Masterpace

Five hundred thousand years flushed down in a flash
As humanity and vices came down to a clash
Gula, Luxuria, Avaritia, Superbia
Tristita, Ira, Vanagloria, Acedia
All aboard for one last race
Evolving, devolving…
Dust to dust, face to face
Seeding, conceding…
Atrocities are all erased
Speeding, proceeding…
Falling up at Masterpace
Masterpace!
Industrial revolution inflicted devolution
In concentration institutions, we succumb ourselves to pollution
Poisoning the tree of life, poisoning the child
Growing up in their dawn’s light, abominations with style
Panicked people frantic on a mission
To send the cancer to remission
Crushing the new-borns, spelling their own end
Out of all loans, borrowed time has been spent
There’s no hope for absolution, there’s no time for solutions
Stuck together on this ship, this will be our final trip
There will be no afterlife, no matter the cost nor the strife
This final challenge you shall face is when we reach the Masterpace

Deus Ex
06:35

Divine intervention, to stop the contravention
It was their intention, to deal with inattention
The trains ran out of steam
As they have milked their scheme
When the engine failed
They’ve jumped off and bailed
Denial, Deus Ex!
Stranded in the desert, blinded by precept
“Deus Ex won’t come to thee”, they cannot accept
Rocking the wagons is not what moves the train
Any course of action has long become in vain
Divine consecration, incorporeal castration
They’ve been sentenced to damnation, before the final station
When the rocking stopped
They’ve looked out dejected
Black pill has been dropped
Their fears became projected
Serpent
Slithered up the world tree again
Signifying another cycle's end
What once usurped shall return with rain
Purged by thunder it's the only way
Winter has come
As the ancient prophecies foretold
Never-ending blizzard chills the bones
In frigid darkness, everything will drown
The Sun will shine when everything is gone
Denial, Deus Ex!

Ad Astra

Fire!
Mind and body reconciled
Now that reconstruction is done
Was I conscious or was I dreaming
That night still haunts my every thought
Saturday’s approaching, twin flames take me higher
“Oh I ask of Thee, ingress into my mind, reappear to me!”
Ad astra!
Divine light, burning bright
Roof of the temple crumbles
A shadow emerges, through light’s curtain
His demonic Highness
“Why do thee summon Me
What is your request
Why do thee awaken Me
From my cosmic rest?”
Ad astra, ad templum!
Infernal void envelops my mind
As dark figure emerges, from heliotrope light
“I know who you are, I know what you seek!”
The astral temple trembles from the power he emits
A dark power, contrary to the light
A titan from the darkness, playing my life
“Why have thee arrived, into this place I hold?”
“I have come to gift you, now listen what you’re told!”
“Eternal glory, all your heart’s desires
The fruit of knowledge, the smokeless fire
The breath of Titans, Is what I’ll bestow on you
So bow down to me, and be subdued!”

Vertigo

“Once a proud veteran of the Vietnam War
Now a deranged lunatic back to settle the score!”
Vertigo envelops my mind, I’ve been here before
A state of twisted conscience strikes as I rise off the floor
Roaming down the ravaged streets far away from home
I can’t remember who I am, but I know I’m at war
“Entrenched in deep psychosis, not that he would know
Years of flashbacks of the carnage have taken their toll!”
Boom goes the ’45, Kong hits the ground
Bastard’s mouth, filled with blood, it won’t make a sound
“Determined to death, to wipe out the reds,
He cannot see he’s slaughtering his friends!”
They say the war is over, but I see through their lies
Adrenaline rushes as I strike fear into their eyes
It seems I’m the only one that did not meet demise
I won’t stop this killing spree ‘till the last commie dies
Boom!

Thrash Overlords
03:54
|

|
The third wave of madness is sweeping the nether
Old guard and youth bonded together
Speed freaks and Core kids circle the pit
Established sound, yet this is the new shit
Just when you thought it couldn't go faster
Kobold's arrived and brought a disaster
Fall in line and follow the pastor
No one’s exempt, bow down to the masters
Banging our heads, until we're dead
Thrash Overlords!
Breaking our necks, instilling respect
Thrash Overlords!
Drinking our fill, bringing the thrill
Thrash Overlords!
If you stand still, we’re in for the kill
Thrash Overlords!
Tomorrow is just another day!
Their world is shit, now and forever
We dwell at the moment, restraints we sever
Jointly we jaunt on a breakneck endeavour
“When will it stop?” The answer is - “Never!”
Just when you thought it couldn't go under
Kobold's arrived and brought the thunder
Dazed and confused, you're left in wonder
We'll split the globe, we'll blow it asunder

Blood Drops
04:14
|

|
Twelfth full moon rises high
Silver light bleaches her room
For her dawn shall not shine
She is the embodiment of gloom
She is!
For when he left her world
She could not thread it alone
She stumbles lost and whirled
Stricken deep and chilled to the bone
No, she could not take it
The weight of her pain and her sorrow
No, she could not make it
Where he has gone she must follow
Blood drops are filling the ocean
She slips into a deep sleep
A dream world full of emotions
Where she no longer weeps
Her eyes shall not gaze tomorrow
Her hearth’s companion was stolen
Her shell lies shivered and hollow
Consumed by the passion she’s fallen
Sleep!

Fractured
06:12
|
|||
|
Back to tiny pieces, once again I go
Fragments are too small, they matter not just let them go
But how can I move on when there’s nothing to be saved
I must salvage the dust that I became
Self-destruction rears, its ugly head one more time
Can I cope with mania clawing at my heart?
There is Armageddon raging deep within my mind
Torn apart my demise, hiding in plain sight
Life is fractured
To despair indentured
Life is fractured
My soul is captured
Life is fractured
Never raptured
Life is fractured
Forever fractured
Seldom cherished bliss, in those halcyon days of yore
Foolish youth paraded death, thought of nothing but of horns
Melancholy pouring in, drowning all my hope
Nothing more to do, I’m at the end of the rope
Impaled from every angle, I bleed from every side
Like a paper ripped to shreds, I scatter to the winds
Evergrowing void in my heart devours all the warmth
Soon there will be nothing left beyond a grey husk

corrupting everything that is sacred.
Fueled by vast doses of Beer & "Vinjak", Kobold has pillaged its way through the Serbian metal scene from the alcohol & piss ridden small clubs to the festival stages, with its unique ballbusting Speed Metal sound.

Their weakest offering IMHO, largely from the crunchy production, however don't sleep on it! They are the masters of fast thrash!
