1. Home Is Where The Sty Is
A pig sweat-dripping
Scratching his balls a male
Since day one the lowest self-esteem, bound to fail
Not a single word
Small talk is done with a fist
Suicidal
Heirloom shotguns and opened wrists
Talks like a stroke in slow motion
Feeling fine, not a day o
ver dead
Drop-dead-ugly, fucked up abortion
Shits while eats, same inside head
This is what northern men are made of
This how northern men are made
Hey honey, don't care what's your name is
Just one thing I crave, take off that dress, I'm your man
Hey honey, flowers belong on graves
I'll drag you down in the shades of shame
Nevertheless I'm your man
Yes I am!
A true self-loather
Head stuck tight in the noose
When given bottle sings his rueful blues through the booze
And them women
Anything goes of course
A masturbator
Yet a long-time fan of intercourse
Agora-xeno-homophobic
An ignorant redneck to the bone
Home is where the vacant sty is
With balls erected the seeds are sown
This is what northern men are made of
This how northern men are made
Hey honey, don't care what's your name is
Just one thing I crave, take off that dress, I'm your man
Hey honey, flowers belong on graves
I'll drag you down in the shades of shame
Nevertheless I'm your man
Yes I am!
Hey honey, don't care what's your name is
Just one thing I crave, take off that dress, I'm your man
Hey honey, flowers belong on graves
I'll drag you down in the shades of shame
Nevertheless I'm your man
Yes I am!
2. Down The Ashes Rain
Wade as a dead-weight, bound by an invisible the chains
Deep in the gas cloud, kicking distance from pain
Hold, don't mind about the highs for the lows will abound
Go on, savor those moments stake claim to the ground
You have seen them come and go
Down the ashes rain
It's time to reap now what's been sowed
Time and time again
Staring through unblinking cold
Fade into the unknown
These streets run through you, streets full of undead
Out of excuses, a requiem in your head
Hold on, don't mind about the signs of a losing the game
Go on, savor your anguish stay true to the blame
You have seen them come and go
Down the ashes rain (down in rain)
It's time to reap now what's been sowed
Time and time again
Staring through unblinking cold
Fade into the unknown
Fade into the unknown
Down the ashes rain (down in rain)
It's time to reap now what's been sowed
Time and time again
Staring through unblinking cold
Down the ashes rain
Time and time again
3. The Flavor Of The Month
I walk wearing a crown, self-proclaimed Roaylty
At least compared to you
I'm as good it gets and will be remembered
I know, I was told so
I talk wearing a frown
With arrogance and loathing, I address the punters
I'm the best there is, so beautiful and bold
I've got the touch of gold
No matter how fucked, no matter how fucked I am
The flavor of the month, come and take a bite
Another useless one, another spoon-fed, another spoon-fed mind
I'm the bastard incarnate, an odious deadpan prick
Don't care what you think
I'm the VIP, the morons united
Access all areas
No matter how fucked, no matter how fucked I am
The flavor of the month, come and take a bite
Another useless one, another spoon-fed mind
Thus the rumors linger, envy tongues surround
Thus the pointing finger, being holier than, holier than thou
The flavor of the month, come and take a bite
Another useless one, another spoon-fed mind
Thus the rumors linger, envy tongues surround
Thus the pointing finger, being holier than, holier than thou
4. The Absentee
So much time wasted in things that have no worth
The hours disappear
Am I running to or from the wave of rebirth
Don't know to hope or to fear
And through the longest night I writhe…
And through the longest night I, and through the longest night I writhe…
Take this burden from me
Let me step outside and feel
Be no more the absentee
I had em bottled up in the distance of my mind
A seemingly clean slate
All those nameless graves I tried to left behind
No chance to detour fate
And through the longest night I writhe…
And through the longest night I, and through the longest night I writhe…
Take this burden from me
Let me step outside and feel, let me step outside and feel
Bury this burden for me
And be no more the absentee, be no more the absentee
Take this burden from me
Let me step outside and feel, let me step outside and feel
Bury this burden for me
And be no more the absentee, be no more the absentee
Take this burden from me
Let me step outside and feel, let me step outside and feel
Bury this burden for me
And be no more the absentee, be no more the absentee
5. Maybe Life Is Not For Everyone
As the old cliché goes, that worn out saying
"That which doesn't kill you… " Most surely cripple, maim
What goes through the mind of such lively numb?
You better hold on tight son; the worst is yet to come
Pray for Jesus to love you thou your soul he sold
Call suicide hot line and get the "please hold…"
But do not discriminate, hate all equally, alone
Smile is only skin deep, loathing goes right to the bone
It's an eye for an eye
Maybe life is not for everyone…
Maybe life is not for everyone…
As they watch you crumble, come undone
They won't mourn, they won't my son
Just lower you down and forget
If it was thought that counts you'd be down to your last straw
Dream to pass the time until the reaper's at your door
Because it's an eye for an eye
Maybe life is not for everyone…
Maybe life is not for everyone…
As they watch you crumble, come undone
They won't mourn, they won't my son
Just lower you down
6. Death By The Blues
Don't wanna be part of your bullshit-world
I'd rather take a bullet
Shots and implants to ashes burn
Long live the mullet
Go climb back up to the tree
Death by the blues
In words and deeds
It's what I choose
Until the reaper I will meet
Again each other you praise and blame
Which ape will prevail?
On that scale with fake and fame
Where everything is for sale
The ticket's only one-way
Death by the blues
In words and deeds
It's what I choose
Until the reaper I will meet
Like horny moths to the flame you are drawn
It burns with acrid smoke
Rapt in vanity, lowlife-spawn
Another soul is sold
Laugh out loud
Death by the blues
In words and deeds
It's what I choose
Until the reaper I will meet
7. The Halfway Bar
My momma told me at the tender age of five
Son, you're going to be the saddest man alive
And I've been raging, bleeding with hatred running through my veins
With fingers crossed been breeding pain along the way
And now here I roam on my way there on this rocky road
Still three feet to go down this cold and barren hole
How have I made this far?
Road goes on and though it all went wrong
At the halfway bar I raise my glass and flush the past away
My momma told me at the fragile age of five
Son, in your soul lies a cancer that'll eat you alive
And there at the end of a rainbow was shining bucket a dirt
I tried but was unable to shove it down to taste its worth
And now here I am on my way there on this rocky road
Now I understand I can't give in, I can't let go
Glad I've made this far
Road goes on and though it all went wrong
At the halfway bar I raise my glass and flush the past away
And though I sing along with the same old song
For as long as there's a pulse, a beating, I'll make it through the day
Make it through the day yeah
Road goes on and though it all went wrong
At the halfway bar I raise my glass and flush the past away
And though I sing along with the same old song
For as long as there's a pulse, a beating, I'll make it through the day
Oh yeah
I'll make it through the day
8. Them Walls
House that he build is crumbling down like him, silently
And brick by brick, patching the walls but failing repeatedly
Room after room
Silent as a tomb
Gather one, gather all
Come see a struggling man fall
Feel free to throw stones at him
Don't waste your sympathy
Rusty nail by nail, coming down are the tired floors
And echoes the beat of the hoof at the bolted door
Homesick home
So sick to the bone
Gather one, gather all
Come see a struggling man fall
Feel free to throw stones at him
Don't waste your sympathy
Feel free to gob scorn at him
Denounce him the enemy
9. Blackholehead
I'm in need of therapy
So fucked up inside
I cannot hold it in, no more
I am breathing misery
Bursting out pure rage
I am throwing up it all, hey!
What if I'd let you in, threw to the wolves and showed you the darkest corner here
What if I'd gave a fuck and spoke the truth, would it be too much for you to hear?
I dare you to tear me apart
Come, explode inside my head and break these walls of pain
Reign the mayhem inside
Be the last rites to the dead, the-rapist of my brain
Mind-fuck me alive
My brain hurt, my brain hurt, yeah!
The pills I've swallowed
Try numb the pain
Feeling a whole lotta nothing
Completely hollow
Yet full of shit
To be freed I'd give anything
The smell of feces splattered everywhere, hate-diarrhea severe
Thoughts hacked to pieces without a care, with an axe, axe I wave in here
I dare you to tear me apart
Come, explode inside my head and break these walls of pain
Reign the mayhem inside
Be the last rites to the dead, the-rapist of my brain
Mind-fuck me alive
My brain hurts, my brain hurts!
Come, explode inside my head and break these walls of pain
Reign the mayhem inside
Be the last rites to the dead, the-rapist of my brain
Mind-fuck me alive
My brain hurts!
10. Pull The Trigger
Suffering ends, no matter what you do
There's no escape, soon it will be through
Payback will come, consequence is sealed
It won't expire no, it won't yield
Don't you try and repent, don't you dare to deceive
Cause not a single word they will believe
Everyone waits for you to pull the trigger
Everyone's cheering for you
The shit you drown yourself in is getting thicker, don't let them down
They're counting on you
Licked them clean, the bones they threw
Laughed through the tears while playing the fool
My friend you're gone, you're in too deep
Your sad existence is now, is theirs to keep, yeah
Keep bullshitting them, yourself you can't anymore
You know how it ends, you know the score
Everyone waits for you to pull the trigger
Everyone's cheering for you
The shit you drown yourself in is getting thicker, don't let them down
They're counting on you
Different day, shit stays the same, face against the floor
Keep on dreaming through the shame, behind closed doors
Everyone waits for you to pull the trigger
Everyone's cheering for you
The shit you drown yourself in is getting thicker, don't let them down
They're counting on you
Everyone waits for you to pull the trigger
Everyone's cheering for you yeah
The shit you drown yourself in is getting thicker, don't let them down
They're counting on you
11. Elämän Kevät
Somehow it found a way, will to see the next day
Through a crack it crawled its way in, said won't ever leave
Heavy these boots of lead, so familiar and fitting well
I don't know to regret or to crave, nothing's ahead, left behind
And I feel it coming
I refuse to let it in, to stay
It's melting the ice away
I feel it coming
I refuse to take its weight, tolerate
To hell with it all, I want to be left alone
Straight through the dear despair, infecting dreams and joy
But there's no reason to smile, it all will sail down the drain
Like a bullet through the brain, a plague that eats alive
Now can't tell piss from wine, so sick of this all
And I feel it coming
I refuse to let it in, to stay
It's melting the ice away
I feel it coming
I refuse to take its weight, tolerate
To hell with it all, I want to be left alone
Some by arriving, some by leaving have carved in their marks here beneath
I will be thriving on this endless grieving, forever dwell in my defeat
Beneath the ice it stays the same
Beneath the ice it stays the same
Beneath the ice it stays the same

Последний альбом проекта Вилле Лайхиала: "Poisonblack" - Lyijy.
Как говорится:" Можно вывезти Вилле из Sentenced, но Sentenced из Вилле вывезти нельзя.
Итак, нас встречает открывашка-боевик "Home is Where The Sty is", которая говорит слушателю: "Тут Poisonblack! Тут Sentenced не место." И сперва ты веришь этому. До пятой песни. Тут уж Вилле не сдерживает в себе порывы его "прошлой жизни" и выдает балладу, с депрессивным налетом почивших Senteced. Затем же Вилле нам говорит песней "Death By The Blues", что он отрекся от прошлого и пытается вырваться от стягивающих его корней.
На мой взгляд, этот альбом - противостояние человека с самим собой. Сперва Вилле делал неплохие боевики, но прошлое Sentenced дает о себе знать и поэтому мы слышим такие хиты, как "The Halfway Bard", более прямолинейный "Them Walls" и в конце альбом самую выдающуюся песню из всего материала Poisonblack - "Elaman Kevat".
Чем-то это напоминает последнюю песню "Приговоренных"...
"Sentenced - End of the Road"
