"The Truth Lies" shows our time as it is. of lies and deception, not only in life, also in music, the bands. Envy, dirty lies. One can work very 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 can't deny anybody 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. They are ties, chained and don't how to get on, nothing goes the way they would it to. This happens very often.
"Short Report On The Carnage" basically a describing a slaughterhouse. An extreme, but excellent idea - to put man into surroundings, where this song place.
"Tears, And Hate" you want what you have, you are in reach... you shout without a response, cry tears, are afraid without fear... This song is stylewise similar to ones from the previous album; a classical thing.
"Pain Of Hearts" is about people nobody cares about. They have a problem with their body, for instance, and you have to close your eyes while at them. They become just human shells, crying for help. They manifest own feelings, which may not be answered.
"Rebirth Of Blasphemy" sheer heretic lyrics, dealing with heresy in deep. There is a truth faith here, which can manipulate masses into belief. A judgement of Chritian fanaticism, which can very dangerous. This is not only a belief something imaginary but an organization of people.
"Imperator (Strikes Again)" a very old song, recorded first in 1988. It has something to say and we had an idea of it on "Lies". It has a new look and the fans still it.
"Stonedream" even dreams can be hard. Sometimes, a dream 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 guitar has become a drug for me; when I play just for myself, I some instrumental things, too. I try to put my mood an I have in mind all the time into them. I didn't to include this song anywhere, I just wanted to record it. Bruno went enthusiastic about the song and so we put them on the record, although I was a bit hesitant about it. Now I am glad it's like it.
