"The About Lies" shows our time as it is. Lots of and deception, not only in life, also in music, among the bands. Envy, dirty lies. One can work hard for a long time, then comes who lies about you and a lot of people are influenced by it even if it's not true. You deny anybody their own words, but how many you lie to yourself, lie about lies...?
"Unnecessarity" sometimes one finds in a difficult situation and the reality of life is a problem for them. are ties, chained and don't know how to get on, nothing goes the way they would like it to. This very often.
"Short On The Ritual Carnage" a song describing a slaughterhouse. An extreme, but excellent idea - to put man into surroundings, where this takes place.
"Tears, And Hate" you want what you cannot have, you are in reach... you shout a response, cry without tears, are afraid without fear... This is stylewise to ones from the previous album; a classical death thing.
"Pain Of Hearts" is basically about people nobody cares about. They have a with their body, for instance, and you have to close your eyes looking at them. They just human shells, crying for help. They cannot manifest their own feelings, may not be answered.
"Rebirth Of Blasphemy" sheer heretic lyrics, dealing with heresy in deep. is a truth about faith here, which can masses into false belief. A judgement of Chritian fanaticism, which can become very dangerous. This is not a belief into imaginary but an organization of people.
"Imperator (Strikes Again)" a old song, recorded first in 1988. It still has something to say and we had an idea of using it on "Lies". It has a new look and the still it.
"Stonedream" even dreams can be very hard. Sometimes, a is so persuasive, that one can tell, when awake, whether it was reality or a dream.
"Believe..." is an instrumental song. I can say that playing guitar has a drug for me; when I play just for myself, I make instrumental things, too. I try to put my an things I have in mind all the time into them. I didn't want to include this song anywhere, I just to record it. Bruno went very enthusiastic the song and so we put them on the record, although I was a bit hesitant about it. Now I am it's there; like it.
