[M: Petrozza/Reil/Fioretti/Trzebiatowski ú L: Petrozza ú cMaldoror]
[The video shoot in Greece for this song was pretty adventurous. We had planned
to film in front of the Akropolis but could not get an official permission, so w
e did it without. Especially our Greek fans liked this song very much and the au
dience's reaction each time we played Athens was mindblowing.]
This is a song which I use to describe what I feel
About people like you
No sense for humanity, no idea about life
The premise has been proved
You used my trust to satisfy your brainless lust
Your word isn't worth more than pulse in the dust
Betrayer
Betrayer
Misleader, you twisted things to satisfy
Deceiver, this greedy lust you can't deny
How could I be so naive to believe all the lies
You so easily told
I think I've learned my lesson too late
The story took time to unfold
Now I see your true face
Behind your mask, a cheat, a fake
Your word isn't worth more
than a puke in the dust

Ignorant twisted mind, maybe it would help
To think before you speak from time to time
Pretend to be a friend of mine
But you would sell your mother if you could
For less than a dime
Intelligence lost, brain deceased
So you will lose, fall to your knees
Guys like you I cannot stand
Maybe I must speak another language
Before you understand

2. Pleasure To Kill
[M+L: Petrozza ú c Maldoror]
[What can be said about this one? It's still one of our and our fans' favourites
and I think it will always be a part of the Kreator set.. The lyrics are still
touching my soul each time we perform the song live. Brutality in perfection.]
Day turns to night as I rise from my grave
Black was the hole were I laid
Stalking the city to seek out your blood
I love when it showers from my blade
Your body is so pretty but how will it look
When my perverted lust is stilled
No one to save you no parents or friends
Because they've already got killed
My only aim is to take many lives
The more the better I feel
My only pleasure is to hear many cries
from those tortured by my steel
The colour of your blood from your open body
Is all I wanted to see
Tasting the blood from your lips as you die
means satisfaction to me
Pleasure to kill
Hear my heartbeat as you see me upon you
Tears in your eyes I do not care
Listen now to the motor of my chainsaw
Open your eyes don't be scared
Look into my eyes do you see any love?
The only thing is agony
Now I can't wait to give you the good pain
Die now and be free
Now that my mission is done
Your body forgotten has been killed
I return to the cemetery
And my bloodlust is stilled
My coffin is open for me
I lay down and rest
Nothing will set me free
And so I kill until excess
[Taken from the album "Pleasure To Kill" ú 1986]
4. Endless Pain
[M: Petrozza/Fioretti/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú c Maldoror]
[The opener to our first record ever. Great vocals and lyrics by Ventor.]
You cry out the aggression that is in you everyday
You want to kill the enemies if they cross your way
In your heart is hate, terror is freezing your bones
The night is dark and you're all alone
The voices of hell sound so nice
Final death is the price
Can't wait much longer give them what they need
Burst down their heads spread hellish heat
Feel the endless pain
Locked in metal chains
Green and red monsters torment your mind
The power of death will destroy mankind
You die fast you won't feel much pain
But why you'll never know
It's a hellish game
[Taken from the album "Endless Pain" ú 1985]
5. Winter Martyrium
[M: Petrozza/Gosdzik/Fioretti/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú c Dark Wings]
[We thought we could use this live recording from Lichtenfels, Germany '92, to g
ive you an impression of the energy exchange between us and our fans. that can o
nly be created in a club or concert hall. No matter in which part of the world w
e play, it's always the universal language of metal music that connects us with
people from all kinds of different cultural backgrounds. It might sound like a c
lich©, but to me it's one of the most precious gifts in life!!!]
Hypnotized by the masses
And a future torn apart
Angony, the final conflict
Hatred yet ignored
Love is colder than death
And in coldness we'll remain
Everlasting lies in chains
Destroying dreams against all norms
They spread it all across the earth
Dominion without a form
Winter martyrium
Dead civilization on a mission
Lead by gods
Etiquette creates a cause
To turn your back from life
Secrets never told before
Construct culture absurd
Hit you like a shellshock
As integrity has died
Destroying dreams...
Wide awake to the end
Wide awake to the end
Crisis and perpetual incest
Performance of a nameless act
Sadness takes your concentration
Individual cages that we face
Destroying dreams against all norms
They spread it all across the earth
Dominion without a form
Winter martyrium for masses
And a future torn apart
Agony, the final conflict
Hatred yet ignored
[Performed live in Lichtenfels]
6. Flag Of Hate
[M: Petrozza/Fioretti/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú c Maldoror]
[Something like the band's battle hymn. It's one of the most requested ones, and
even after 15 years it has not lost a bit of its intensity.]
Dark shadows lie over the city
Tonight someone will die
You can hear painful screams
The air is full of flies
Mayhemic legions are ready
To steal the human souls
Come into my vault and do like you get told
I'll eat your intestines
No matter if you pray or please
I'll bring you down to your knees
Tonight you're gonna meet your fate
You try to run but it's too late
I am here to liquidate
Time to raise the flag of hate
Destroy the earth is our only aim
To strike all down is the only way
To give 'em death and let them pay
The galleys of the underground sail
On the sea of blood
All that we want crucify your god
The posers on this earth have no right to live
We're gonna split their brains
Torture is what we give
[Taken from the album "Endless Pain" ú 1985]
7. Extreme Aggressions
[M: Fioretti/Trzebiatowski/Petrozza/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú cMaldoror]
[When I wrote the lyrics to this one, I've tried to put myself into a murderer's
mind. To see what he sees, to feel how he feels. It's still even thinking about
this............]
Extreme aggressions
From an extremely insane mind
Resting unconscious
Pushed up by white lines
Inhuman violence
I never thought it would come from this far
Sadistic intensions
My greed for blood is growing more and more
Extreme aggressions
Seeing you suffer brings pleasure to me
Extreme aggressions
My aggressions became too extreme
To be kept under control
Hallucinations
From the darkest part of my brain
I still can't believe it
Am I really insane
I heard your pleading
But no one hears the screams of this soul of mine
Extreme aggressions
Seeing you suffer brings pleasure to me
Extreme aggressions
My aggressions became too extreme
To be kept under control
Society, what have you done to me
Society, bring you to your knees
Once before I die
Now that I have lost the will to live
Once before I die
I'll take revenge on those who've led me to
Extreme aggressions
My emotions, twisted by your lies
Extreme aggressions
Condemned my soul to hell for all time
[Taken from the album "Extreme Aggression" ú 1989]
11. Renewal
[M: Petrozza/Gosdzik/Fioretti/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú c Dark Wings]
[There is something about the vibe of this one that always gives me the chills e
verytime I listen to it. I love the slow heavy riffs and the gloomy atmosphere.
One of my personal faves.]
Imperfection, new temptation
Innocence will breed new life
Disillusion, desparation
Free my mind and let it rise
Mass enslavement, brutal torment
Tomorrow will they see it clear
Resurrection, disconnection
Substance that can make us fly without fear
Without fear
Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of your mind
Female's poison, male aggression
Distance to reality
Foreign places, fallen kingdoms
Always keep secrets from me
Subliminal, disciplinal
the art of lying lives on and on
As we struggle, as we suffer
Inferior to life, renewal has begun
Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of our minds
Renewal of my mind
Isolation, illumination
Modern men embrace the light
War believers, peace deceivers
Remaining in eternal night
Politicians, fake musicians
Create no relationships
Hate frustrations, penetrations
Resistance from a path that should not exist
[Taken from the album "Renewal" ú 1992]
18. Tormentor
[M: Petrozza/Fioretti/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú c Maldoror]
[Traditionally the last song of our set and also one of the most covered ones by
other great bands.]
Riding in darkness through the hell of the night
Give all your torment to the heaven's might
In the name of satan spread all your fear
You feel his anger you know he's near
Casting a spell
Lord of all hells
Ripping the angels
God has fell
Tormentor
Baphomet's calling death is now real
Helldogs and demons waiting to kill
Pentagrams shining Luzifer smiles
Fucking the virgin rip out her eyes
Drinking the blood
Fear no god
Now you are dead
Your flesh is dot rot
Tormentor
[Taken from the album "Endless Pain" ú 1985]
