"The About Lies" shows our time as it is. Lots of lies and deception, not in life, in music, among the bands. Envy, dirty lies. One can work very hard for a long time, then comes someone who about you and a lot of people are influenced by it even if not true. You can't deny anybody their own words, but how times you lie to yourself, lie about lies...?
"Unnecessarity" sometimes one itself in a difficult situation and the reality of life is a problem for them. They are ties, chained and know how to get on, goes the way they would like it to. This happens very often.
"Short Report On The Carnage" basically a describing a slaughterhouse. An extreme, but excellent idea - to put man surroundings, where this song 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 similar to from the previous album; a classical death thing.
"Pain Of Hearts" is about people nobody cares about. They have a problem with body, for instance, and you have to close your eyes while looking at them. They just human shells, crying for help. They cannot 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 become very dangerous. This is not a belief something 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 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 or really a dream.
"Believe..." is an instrumental song. I can say that playing has become a drug for me; when I play just for myself, I make some things, too. I try to put my mood an things I in mind all the time into them. I didn't want to include song anywhere, I just wanted to record it. Bruno went very enthusiastic about the and so we put them on the record, I was a bit hesitant about it. Now I am glad it's there; like it.
