1. Born Dead, Buried Alive

In another dimension beyond the twilight
our souls waiting to be reborn
after a lifetime of impending sin
a new life is about to begin...


Born dead, buried alive


2. Eraser

Here it comes to subject the terror you forgot
No memories from the past
The unexplainable starts to appear
As your sub-consciousness begins to come back again

Reality fades away
You try to find a solution
---Here it's coming now, indecision
---You're free but you can't see through the confusion

(Chorus)
There is no time
No time to regret
The eraser's coming for your life
You got to run
Stay away from the light
The eraser's here to twist your mind

Feel your soul connected to the universe
The solstice is complete
They controlled your thoughts
You will remember now, what it's all about

---Twist the end around, violation
It's burning deep and twisting under your skin
It scares you forever
The proof you will find in your dreams

(Chorus)


3. Stillborn

I'm standing in the circle of humans
...
..I see the circles
I am unable to flee

... arised in the sky
This is the way it feels to die
I have to search, the rest will follow
There's nothing left but my soul so hollow

(Chorus)
I'm floating in the air
Slowly fading away from the earth
...
...

I've got to stay awake
but my eyelids...
I feel like a parasite
What will happen to us?
Will we ever see...
Will we ever return?
Will we ever survive?
It's a human curse

Final destination unknown
Humanity on the go
This is the end
Another beginning

I feel so alone
Like a part of me has died
I feel so weak
I'm falling apart inside

(Chorus)

...
They come to haunt me now
I swallow my pride, and the tears I’ve cried
Will never…
Tell me why


4. Slave to the Parasites

... anything else
or maybe I'm dead, both trapped in a cage
Alone in my body now a shell deserted or is this the end of my age
Drowning into the bitter end
Is the thing’s I cannot avoid
Crawling in a circle of hell
They won't let me exist on my own

(Chorus)
Slave to the parasites
I can't get away
They won't leave me be
Slave to the parasites
Here they come again
There is nowhere to hide

...
I'm all alone
...
...

The night is fallen
Another commit around the bend
They use me as an experiment
Words I don't understand

Crashed into the bitter end
Is the thing’s I cannot avoid
..drowning in a circle of hell..
They won't let me exist on my own

(Chorus)

They won't get me this time
I can hear them coming closer
I'm not afraid to die
But I'd rather die than someone control my mind

(Chorus)


5. New World

Can't you see them coming
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
and praise the new...

(Chorus)
The new world is here to wipe out our lives
The new world we can't survive
The new world is here to wipe out our lives
The new world does not include us



6. The Abyss

Born dead in flames
For my beliefs
They will take me to hell
One step closer to death
I release my anger to be free

Feel alone again (free the lord again)

I feel no guilt for the lost ones
I stab, I stab again
...nothing soon will be
I look around and see all the bloody gore

Feel alone again (Free the lord again)


7. Dead By Dawning

I woke up screaming from a nightmare
That seemed so real
A horrified vision of the skyline
Covered up in steel
I stumble outside, everything around me had changed
I could not believe my eyes
I stare into a world re-arranged

My heart was pounding faster
Am I awake or still in a dream
The vision of final disaster
..?The vision of empty dreams?

(Chorus)
I see a dead by dawning
A lethal encounter of the first degree
I see a dead by dawning
No mercy for you, No mercy for me
I see a dead by dawning
A lethal encounter of the first degree
It's the end for you , It's the end for me

The world is silent
Only the life from above can be seen
...
...
It's not of this world
…our senses?
Something within me tells me
It's the end of humanity

My heart was pounding faster
Am I awake or still in a dream
The vision of final disaster
?The vision of empty dreams?

(Chorus)

Released from this nightmare
Let me wake up to find the world I knew
But then I see the faces around me
I realize we are the chosen few

(Chorus)

8. The Departure

I came back to life
Naked and tied to the floor
In the corner of my eyes
I saw them coming through the door

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and face the airport lights

(Chorus)
I stare into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stare into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been

...
...
...
as I look around
I realize I'm all alone
...
...Chills me to the bone

Suddenly rising up in the air
My mind was burning
…I said farewell to the bodies their stealing

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and face the airport lights

(Chorus)

…
I’ll fit right back into the dream
But something here just keeps me awake
And I’m cut wide open
Maybe they search for my soul
This is more than a human can take

And don’t tell me I'm dreaming
I know what I saw
I’ll feel alive like never before

(Chorus)

9. War Within

When you are born
That's when I died
It took to long to realize
I am white, you’re black
I’m slowly turning grey
Like disease, you’ll break me down to die

You’re no king
I’m no fool
I’m you’re eternal…?

(Chorus)
God, let me regain control
God, let me reign in my own soul
God, let my life return
God, I'll do anything to see you burn

…
Fueled by endless hate
How can I win this war
This war against myself

You’re no king
I’m no fool

(Chorus)

…In my deicide
…Is suicide
…how will I know you where full of…

You’ll trick my mind
You’ll lead me blind
…
There's no escape
...
You're my destiny

You’ll turn me on
You’ll turn me off
Like I'm a fucking machine
You’ll count me in
You’ll throw me out
Now all my thoughts are…?

(Chorus)

This is what I've got so far, any help would be grateful, soon I'll post my interpretations of "Abducted - Catch22"
 
Dan Swanö has written lyrics for 6 songs and Silenoz of Dimmu Borgir lyrics for one song. Peter losing the touch?
 
They look good but you changed a few parts on the Abyss that were right. The begining is "tortured in flame" not "born dead in flame" and the second part that's off is "one step closer to death." I think its "one step closer to Chaos." I could be mistaken but I know it isn't "death." After all if you're already in hell how could one be closer to death?

Who the hell is Dan Swanö ???

If i remember right, he is the swedish studio man behind Dissection's recording of both album and the vocalist or guitarist (or both?) of Edge Of Sanity. (see more on
www.swano.com, if i remmer right)
I'm full disagree with the fact that he have done the 90% of lyrics of new album of Hypocrisy.
I may understand if he contribute to the album with 10% of lyrics, but the 90% no. I think that this is the only thing that i absolutely don't like in this last album. But Peter have sayed that this was an experiment, and we must respect all his decision and parallel roads.

Of course i'm full agree with you inverted about the rightness of the old The Abyss lyric.

However thank you very much Carcass for your work! Great work!

PS: inverted, are you the tabber guy of The Fourth Dimension guitar parts???

Hail
 
Dan Swanö is the man behind Edge of Sanity, Crimson I and Crimson II are two Edge of Sanity's masterpieces.
Crimson I is 40 minutes of swedish melodic death metal and Crimson II is 43 minutes long. Dan did both the music and production for em both.
Dan is multitalented and in my opinion way better than Peter.
Dan plays guitars, bass, drums (Bloodbath amongst others), keyboards and he's an awesome producer.
Other famous bands of his: Dan Swanö - Moontower (a complete solo album, proggy death metal project with awesome keyboards),
Nightingale (prog rock)
Pan.Thy.Monium
Infestdead

www.swano.com is a good start to begin and his board here at UM. He posts quite a lot.

Hail 4th dimension! I am indeed The guy who tabbed out the fouth dimension album. In fact, I have about 20-30 tabs done for Hypocrisy. As well as the lyrics. My most recent tab is for Adjusting the Sun. Check it out at: www.metaltabs.com it is in powertab format and will launch soon at www.powertabs.net there is also a number of other Hypocrisy powertabs there as well. Currently I'm in the middle of tabbing out Eraser. I agree though, the old stuff is vastly superior. T.F.D album in paticular.

Hi everyone..

This is what I sent to Peter. I guess he tweaked it a bit (maybe??)
I'll see if I can find the other stuff at home:

Born Dead Buried Alive.



In the dimension beyond the twilight

A soul is waiting to be reborn

After a lifetime of repenting sin

A new life is about to begin



But something went wrong that fateful night

And the cosmos went berserk

A fusion of the heavens

And the sphere where the dark ones lurk



Hell grows stronger; your soul is at stake

You’re granted life only to die

Dscend into the black.



Born Dead Buried Alive

Standing at the gate waiting for the dark to arrive

Born Dead Buried Alive

The army of the undead

Now possess your blackened soul



You’ll never know life on earth

Doomed to forever walk the land beyond

When the final day arise, you twisted self will rise

The dead shall inherit the earth



You belong to the fires of Hades

You get your lifeblood from the river Styx

Hell in all its glory

Will forever be your dwelling place



The restless dead eagerly awaits

The day of maturity, the end of mankind

Crack the surface of the earth

And let there be hell.



Born Dead Buried Alive

Standing at the gate waiting for the dark to arrive

Born Dead Buried Alive

The army of the undead

Now possess your blackened soul
 
I found this aswell...
These are my originals...but It mighty help a little...

THE WAR WITHIN



You turn me on; you turn me off, like I’m a fucking machine

You tuck me in; you throw me out, now all my thoughts are obscene

You life me up, you wear me down, and throw my life down the drain

You bring my joy and then bring me pain, all my emotions are slain



You tricked my mind, you made me blind, but finally I can see

There’s no escape. Cerebral rape, you are my destiny.

You’ll never die, I’ll never live, and I’ll never be alone

You are the master, I am your slave, and you always hold the throne



Two persons caught inside the same body

Two auras clashing to the bitter end

You’re the one thing in this life I can’t control

It’s too fucking bad you’re a part of my soul



When you were born, that’s when I died, it took too long to realize

I am the white, you are the black, and I’m slowly turning grey

Like a disease you break me down and silence my cries

You are the king, I am the fool I’m your eternal prey.



What I create you desecrate, Fuelled by endless hate

How can I win this war, this war against myself?

If I decide, it’s suicide that will be my final move

How will know that you won’t follow to the other sky?



Two persons caught inside the same body

Two auras clashing to the bitter end

You’re the one thing in this life I can’t control

It’s too fucking bad you’re a part of my soul



Die! let me regain control

Die! Let my life return

Die! Let me reign in my own soul

Die! I’d do anything to see you burn!!
 
Great! Mr. Swano in person! :)

The Lyrics are fuckin great and poetical! But as you can see, i haven't loved much the fact
that Peter has done 90% of Lyrics the last album of a man that aren't he :)
We are fucking attached at Peter's music as much as the Lyrics.
But for this time, i think that all Hypofans can pass over on this :) ; also because
the lyrics are very great (and he have however a little bit retouched its structure :) ).

Of course is the first time that Peter get the great part of lyrics from another person.
Why and in what way this appen? Have asked he to you, or the contrary?
Tell us more please, if you may/want !

And don't you think that Pete may turn a little bit angry for you have published the lyrics? :)
I hope no of course.

If you can put on forum the other lyrics, i'd like to read new world and the departure lyrics!
Apart the lyrics, have you contribute with music in the album?
And the titles of all songs are also your?

PS: Hey man your fuckin studios sounds very very great in Dissection and Opeth! Great work man!
I haven't listened Edge Of Sanity because i believe that EOF aren't extreme music.
I will buy first man. I hope to hear a fine melodic death metal (swedish :) )

PPS: thanks Dan for the lyrics, finally tonight i can scream like a beast the right text
of war within :)
