Faith 03:18
lyrics
buy track
You wear that cross around your neck like your heart upon your sleeve I wish I had your faith I wish that I could believe Empty promises and a dead god are all the world has left for me A false sense of security A false sense of hope Searching for some truth in this forest of empty lies Feeling around in blindness with the darkness in my eyes An obituary unread I leave you as my testament A hopeless set of words as meaningless as our lives The messiah's promise no longer holds any weight How can you still believe? How can you still have faith?

Jesus Hitler 04:09
lyrics

Go back to the motherland Resurrect your Adolf Christ Modern king of all the Jews Ruler of the dead You want a pure world An Aryan dream come true Hitler wasn't the anti-Christ Hitler was a Jew Like the homophobe hiding his wants Trading in his cocks for the wet cunts The small man upon his soapbox spoke Not enough people caught onto the joke Playing soldier, won't you ever learn? Another game played as the crosses burn Swastika's bliss is the trail of blood Your trousers rolled high to avoid the flood Go back to the motherland Prepare the graves Preheat the ovens Shine up your boots Your unholy war makes me smile and smile As the bodies continue to pile and pile A bonfire orgy celebrating the might Of the triumphing soldiers all dressed in white Fresh-shaved heads so full of fear Brain-dead preachings no one can hear Your eyes are blind, your hearts are cold And your wasted race is getting so old Go back to the motherland To your Adolf Christ Even the purest of intentions can be turned to waste Resurrect the glory of the swastika Follow in the footsteps of the little man Arm yourselves and prepare for war We won't go willingly to the ovens this time

Angel of Mercy 03:09
lyrics

I want to scream, I want to cry I want to crawl back inside No salvation for my soul You can't be my angel of mercy No one can save me from myself I tried to scream, I tried to cry I tried to kill it all inside You cannot save me now You can't be my angel of mercy You cannot save me from myself

Coma 03:49
lyrics
buy track
We are dancing in a coma swirl Safe within our coma world We are shut down in unconscious bliss This flesh forsaked we do not miss Only still this planet turns On and on, our hope still burns In a dreaming dance of sacred pills And we're roaming through these coma hills And I'm safe, safe from all that kills In this coma swirl, in my coma world (Safe) We are done with this reality Will you sew my eyes so I won't see? We are safe within this coma world We are caught up in its endless swirl You can die or live, we do not care You can have the weight we will not bear Try and save all those whom life will kill As we're perched upon our coma hill And I'm safe, safe from all that kills In this coma swirl, in my coma world

Martyr 03:41
lyrics
buy track
You all look at me and I seem so big and strong If you could look inside you would see how you are wrong This empty sadness that you tried to take away I bled my heart out, still I cannot find my way When will you realize that I'm not the only one Your god is not my father and I will not be his son I wish that I could be just as blind as you all seem I wish that I could dream just the same way you all dream This pain is not for you and I will not spread my arms You try and drive the nails but I will not play martyr I will not play martyr I will not play martyr I will not play martyr I will not play martyr

Introduction to the End 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Can you see tomorrow? Can you see today? There is no past anymore There's only future in store For two thousand years Based on ignorance and fear Society grew too cold This hate grew too old People die in vain Caught in human shame Brothers side by side Killed by human pride I can't see tomorrow I can't see today My past is all a blank Noah's ark just sank For two thousand years Based on ignorance and fear I don't see just where But I see all the fear Twenty died last night Plagued by human sight Jesus said it's right To carry on his fight

about

The "official" debut cassette album by Pj Perez's mid-1990s goth/industrial/rock band Rahne, released in June 1996. Originally, sides 1 and 2 were labeled "stage one" and "stage two" -- stages three and four appear on the follow-up a few months later called "Dead Air." Many of the songs on Beautiful Sadness appeared in demo form on the unreleased (until now) EPs "God is Dead." and "The Industrial Road E.P."

I've made a lot of music over the years. Some of it alone. Some of it with groups. A lot of it in an apartment on really crappy equipment. Here it is for your consumption / bafflement.
