1.	Disgusted (by Your Faith) 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Something has happened I see your foggy eyes You look so strange before me Like your soul has died Once a man Now just a shadow of it What the hell has happened? What the hell has happened to you? Can’t see it anymore Can’t see the devil in your eyes Can’t see the fire You must be dead inside I’m just disgusted So disgusted I just feel sick I’m so disgusted by your faith This move of insanity Drives me mad Your god won’t save you I will fuck you up Weak and helpless Pathetic you are Cheek-turning piece of shit That you are This move of insanity Drives me mad Your god won’t save you I will fuck him up Don’t try to explain Don’t even speak to me There’s nothing you can say You’re just a goddamn fool I’m just disgusted So disgusted I just feel sick I’m so disgusted by your faith
2.	Bridgeburner 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Can you see the sign? Standing bold and cruel The Point of No Return I dare you to cross it I dare you to crush it Let’s see if you’re man enough Overwhelming but warm and safe Such a deep and true hatred Taste it in your mouth Just let it devour your mind Burn all bridges down! What a relieving feel To leave it all behind Forgive and forget (not!) Can you take the heat? Can you take the shit? Are you standing straight? Come and walk the walk Come and leave the pain Just take it to the top And fuck it in the ass afterwards All feelings of compassion I have given away When left behind, nothing feels the same But that’s just how I want it to be Just follow and let ’em burn, head up high Go! Burn all bridges down! I dare you Did you see the sign? Standing bold and cruel The Point of No Return I told you to cross it I told you to crush it Were you man enough? Nothing matters now And it’s the only way Just say, fuck it! Bridgeburner, bridgeburner, bridgeburner…
3.	The Violent Way 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Without guilt Without shame Without pain I choose the violent way Fuck me if you can Push me with all you've got I will swallow it all To a certain point Just remember To a certain point But when you hear the snap Please hide well When you hear the crack Run like hell Corner me if you dare Scare me if you can Attack me if you want Make me choose the violent way There ain't no pretty way What the hell can I say When words just ain't enough There's hell to pay But when you hear the snap Please hide well When you hear the crack Run like hell Corner me if you dare Scare me if you can Attack me if you want Make me choose the violent way Without guilt Without shame Without pain I choose the violent way
4.	Visions for No Man to See 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Here am I, again In these mystic cave-like halls Covered with dirt and mud Shaped like rotting fungi Crystal-like roaches With all the colours of the rainbow Shining maggots Which march in lines Pig-headed men Staring strangely into my eyes I feel I’m not strong enough To stand this anymore Listen my words No man should see these visions Listen my words No man should see these visions Now I’m awake and in pain Lying in my bed half-dead But something is terribly wrong Since my cat starts to speak and growl And ants are coming through the roof Waiting to attack Listen my words No man should see these visions Listen my words No man should see these visions These visions for no man to see
5.	Feast of the Christian Flesh 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Dinner time! Unholy hunter is what I am But the holy are the hunted ones Cunningly I shall slit their throats And hungrily wait for a glorious feast The women prepare the meats Serve the food and pour the ale Pure malice shines in my eyes As I drool over the delicious flesh An orgy of eating Celebration of satanic ways Christians forced to participate In a most macabre way The women prepare the meats Serve the food and pour the ale Pure malice shines in my eyes As I drool over the delicious flesh For the glory of Satan and myself I devour your immortal soul Your lifeforce now mine forever To be used against all that is holy and good As my dog chews on the left-over bones And I’m picking the bits of meat from my teeth My dark thoughts begin to wonder “Can the road to the pearly gates go through my digestion?” The women prepare the meats Serve the food and pour the ale Dear guests, have some more! There´s plenty of where that came from For the glory of Satan and myself I devour your immortal soul Your lifeforce now mine forever To be used against all that is holy and good Come and see the feast of the christian flesh!
6.	Must Go Down 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Must go down Just go down Must go down Just go down Must go down Just go down Must go down Just go down Down I must go Down I want to go You better come too You better dive soon You better come too You better dive soon Must go down Just go down Must go down Just go down Look, there’s Satan Mans best friend Still undecided, yeah? You must go down Some might say Such a dark and awful place Why should anyone go? Why should anyone bow? Who’s in charge? Who’s the man in the house? To feel like a god To feel like a worm To feel sleep You must go down Don’t look at the light Don’t blind your eyes Don’t feel hope You must feel low Don’t go up Just go down Don’t go up Just go down Dark is better Sleep is best Invert all Must go down Dark is better Let us get there Invert all Must go down Dark is better Sleep is best Invert all Must go down down down
7.	Thermonuclear 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Ten thousand demons, ghouls and spirits And everyone of them is invited Such a grand doomsday party Taking place in my head Insanity is overpowering me It seems that lunacy is all I know Now there’s no doubt about it I’m going stark raving mad Time to hit the gas It’s full throttle now With the devil as my co-pilot I’ll go thermonuclear I’ll go thermonuclear No speed limit No hesitation No mercy of any kind No nothing Fire blazes in my eye-pits And smoke is coming from my ears With burning lava in my veins I will gear up, lock and load Time to hit the gas It’s full throttle now With the devil as my co-pilot I’ll go thermonuclear I’ll go thermonuclear No speed limit No hesitation No mercy of any kind No nothing Go! This time I’ll go over the top This time there’s no holding back This time I’ll go over the top This time there’s just no holding back Thermonuclear
8.	Merchant of Death 05:34	lyrics	buy track
I want to help you I want to end your pain I want to finish it all You need to die I caress, I fondle I’ll make you feel warm and safe I whisper gentle words But none of it’s true Everyone of us is going to die It just a matter of how and when For you The sooner, the better The faster, the easier Merchant of death The ultimate painkiller I have something to sell And I will sell it well An offer you can’t refuse Oblivion for a bargain price My words soothe you My touch calms you down And you’ll never have to know That it’s all an act I’m a stone cold psychopath And I don’t really give a fuck For you nor the next man Or the one after that Merchant of death Your personal doombringer But I want to help you I want to end your pain I want to do it for my sake You need to die Now accept my offer The last one you’ll ever have Close your eyes and feel the rush Of a serene and distinguished death I’m the merchant of death I’m the merchant of death I’m the merchant of death And right now you are my favourite customer!

about

Devil's Advocates Mikkeli, Finland

Led by frontman and songwriter Perttu Peltonen (Guitars, bass), and accompanied by his loyal friends Ville Karppinen (Drums) and Matti Toivanen (Vocals), DA has gone through line-up changes and tough times but continues to make blasphemous music on their own as long as we fucking breathe! ... more
