| Avenger
Erasing the earth with a wave of your hand
Your life means much more than mine
Gathering strength you await your command
We've stared at the sun until all eyes are blind
Guardian of fire - Who's sworn to you?
Enlightened One - Secreting the truth
Wait Bide Your Time

Agent Steel вернулись, и вернулись с новым зарядом энергии. "Order Of The Illuminati" такой, каким и должен быть качественный speed-metal: грубый звук, не слишком хорошее качество записи, скоростные риффы и соло, ураган драйва и энергии. Местами даже появляются лиричные моменты, которых, впрочем, очень немного. Конечно, с технической точки зрения сейчас такая музыка кажется простой (всё-таки progressive с годами только набирал популярность и поглощал другие стили), но это окупается экспрессией и атмосферой 80-х. Короче говоря, всем любителям старого доброго speed-а этот альбом понравится. Пусть никаких принципиальных изменений в музыке Agent Steel и не произошло, но они не всегда и нужны. А это именно такой случай. |

Изрядно растолстевший Juan Garcia и облагородившийся Bernie Versailles решили возродить свое старое детище - Agent Steel. Группа играет традиционный трэш, такой же, как еще одна группа Гарсии Evil Dead году так в 1991. На фоне произошедших за 12 лет перемен в экстремальной музыке, выбор стиля выглядит странно. К тому же записан вроде бы неплохой материал не лучшим образом: инструменты заглушают вокал, поэтому песни превращаются в безликую долбежку не в лучших традициях жанра. Первую композицию "Avenger" можно отличить, к примеру, от "Dead Eyes" или "Insurrection" только по припеву. В прошлом веке подобная продукция имела какие-то шансы на успех, сейчас же выглядит пережитком прошлого, и место альбому "Order Of Illuminati" там же, где и творениям Evil Dead, которые я как- то обнаружил в уцененном отделе одного известного музыкального магазина. |

Souls lost to time
Suffocator
Rise from your knees - Avenger
Live To Disease - Betrayer
Rise from your knees - Avenger
Live To Disease - Betrayer
From chaos you reign with the world on a leash
Jerking the chain to force a cry
Obedience now Subservience next
We do as you will or we scream as we die
Hymn to disaster - Sing it to the land
The chilling strains of man destroying man
Wait Bide Your Time
Desecrator
Souls lost to time
Eviscerator
Rise from your knees - Avenger
Live To Disease - Betrayer
[repeat chorus]
The streets wet with blood and the sky spitting fire
No one escapes from the clutch of the damned
Ascend, ascend to the throne of your madness
A skeletal knight with a scepter in hand
Rise from your knees - Rise from your knees
Rise from your knees - Rise from your knees
Rise from your knees - Rise from your knees
Rise from your knees - Rise from your knees
Your coming foretold and we saw all the signs
And still we failed to recognize
Begged your solutions to damage your planned
Deserving no mercy deserving your lies
Lord of the slaughter - who's sworn to you?
Oh chosen one - lead us to our doom
Now is your time
Violator
Gifts from the blind
Desecrator
Rise from your knees - Avenger
Live To Disease - Betrayer
[repeat chorus 2X]
Rise from your knees - Rise
Ten Fists of Nations
Create the hate - Cause the cancer
Syphon life and paralyze
Enforce the peace - Give medication
Convincing man to compromise
A modern Christ - A new messiah
Born of war, from blackened sand
Anointed lord - By my disciples
Ten fists of nations I command
There'll be no golden future
Though they are trained to strive
Only enough to sate them, to keep the herd alive
Soon you shall know - I'll be revealed
You'll see the light behind my eyes
To touch the flame - To trust my presence
Make you feel safe inside my lies
And I'll speak the promise
And I'll bend your mind
And while I offer solace
I kill you from inside
Ten fists of hate - Ten tongues of lies
Rising child of Zion - when two suns shine in the sky
Thy Kingdom come by my command
Let the eye of Giza drive your souls into my hands
Ten fists of hate - Ten tongues of lies
My kingdom calling you - My will for all of you
Ten fists of nations call - I feel it dragging you down
And as the wealth of nations gather
And the cattle don their reins
In complete consolidation
A single move to end the game
With agony a symphony
With thunder at my hand
Send a Message to Our Fathers
That the earth is now in their command
And with no more hesitation
I let the comet fly
By my hand the earth awash with light
The End written in the sky
Ten fists of hate - Ten tongues of lies
Rising child of Zion - when two suns shine in the sky
Thy Kingdom come by my command
Let the eye of Giza shine
E.U.L. (Earth Under Lucifer)
With its dawn rides cold oppression
Foreign armies settle on new shores
Called to negate insurrection
Armed enforcers ready to make war
Neo-Kosacks in NATO colors
For the State herding sheep
Your internment Re-education
Prove you can learn or forever sleep
Come on and fight - Heart is forever
Lay down and die life's not all you surrender
Blind Say your prayers
As your name turns to numbers
Blind Say your prayers
On the last train to nowhere
Look to the sky it foretells your disaster
Two suns arise so all men shall find
An Earth under Lucifer forever brilliant
A world trapped in light where the shadow will shine
Come on and fight - Heart is forever
Lay down and die life's not all you surrender
Blind Say your prayers
As your name turns to numbers
Blind Say your prayers
On the last train to nowhere
Come on and fight - Heart is forever
Lay down and die life's not all you surrender
Blind Say your prayers
As your name turns to numbers
Blind Say your prayers
On the last train to nowhere
Enslaved
They pray to the universe
To end all their misery
Caused by their ignorance
They pray to those who would be king
To Gods - We gave the men
To Gods - Who never were
Created by our council to divert their minds while remain on high
Observing their pain
All seeing eye
Fathers of Hate
Confused in a state of fear
A panicked mind, an endless tear
Suffer for our chosen children
Suffer for their pound of flesh
The lie - King of Kings
The lie - Crucified
A paper God attached to strings dances to the songs we sing on high
Demanding their shame
All seeing eye
Won't look away
We're here to remind you
You are enslaved
You're chained to your fear
You are enslaved
Though freedom surrounds you
You stay our slave
And we stay right here
As long as you follow the path you've been given
We'll reap the harvest of pain we have sown
Don't open your minds; don't ever ask questions
We'll gladly play games we have already won
Abused into servitude
You're weakened by your faithfulness
Cower as you're wont to do
Believe the lie you think the best
And die the death you've been prescribed
A victim by design you writhe and supplicate
Question not and seal your fate
The eye
Sees in your mind
All seeing eye
Never goes blind
We're here to remind you
You are enslaved
You're chained to your fear
You are enslaved
Though freedom surrounds you
You stay our slave
And we stay right here
Insurrection
Do they lie to you?
Are their fingers bloody?
If you asked questions would you feel the fool?
Mass acceptance
Feeds the flame of propaganda
Do we trust them or are we their tools?
Painting pictures watch them
With their bloody fingers
Smear the message
in our supple minds
Are you sure you're thinking?
Are you sure you're seeing?
Would you know the truth?
And could you smell a lie?
Conscious - And the world is dreaming
The dream is death - The dream is death
Official words are spoken
Do you - do you hear the message?
Brace yourselves they say
So you try
When the time comes soon now
Will you wear their colors?
Will your blood spill for them or will you realize?
Conscious - And the world is dreaming
Freedom - Demands an equal price
I'll fight
I'll fight
In an Insurrection
You'll taste the steel of the back of my hand
I'm not dying slowly
I'll fight - I'll fight
In an Insurrection
None are free with a king in the land
I'll fight forever
And the gods are sworn to treason
Let the battle rage until the world is free of chains
When the wicked fall may the clouds roar in triumph
And the lightning laugh as it basks in their shame
I'll fight - I'll fight - For an Insurrection
I'll fight - I'll fight - For an Insurrection
Apocalypse (World Without Windows)
I am the consequence of zealotry
I am decay
Corrosive rust of time you'll never wash away
I am the bitter cold, the frozen wind, the frost of hate
Across the plains I sweep to slaughter what I've raped
I have no patience for the masses
My star is death - In the sky it burns
I am the blackened earth, the fire of hell, the end of night
I am the final breath in all the wars you fight
I am justice - I am vengeance
Sentence all to die
I am nothing; believe in nothing
I am every sigh
I have no patience for the masses
My star is death - In the sky it burns
The book of truth well written
And so the pages turn
Let the stars fall from the sky
A sign your ties are severed
Let your hatred rule your mind
A death that lasts forever
I am atomic - I'm a warhead
I am suffering
The scars of ignorance and soul of blasphemy
I am destruction, devastation
I am every crime
Annihilation of creation and the end of time
I have no patience for the masses
My star is death - In the sky it burns
The book of truth well written
And so the pages turn
Let the stars fall from the sky
A sign your ties are severed
Let your hatred rule your mind
A death that lasts forever - forever
Forever Black
A Paperclip base in the late 1940's
Camp Hero, a tribute to time traveling Horus
Stationed on top of an undersea mountain
A piece of Atlantis where Montauks are pharaohs
NOW THE AIR IS FULL
Of viruses grown within walls underground
NOW THE SEA IS SICK
Toxic pollutants have poisoned the sound
The rise of the Phoenix controlling the weather
Dimensional research to decode "forever"
Dismantling molecules for reassembly
Men meshed with metal-USS ELDRIDGE
FACE THE TRUTH OF TIME
Bio-electromagnetically compromised
DEVASTATING CRIMES
Four hundred and thirty five megahertz rinses the mind
And they're reading my mind
Bending my mind
Using my mind
Telling my mind
One day the sky will disappear
The walls of time removed
Shattered lives won't matter here
Doomed to search for light - Forever black
[solo: BV - JG]
FACE THE TRUTH OF TIME
In its inconsistency such a fine line
BETWEEN THE THEN AND NOW
We're all here together we'll soon find out how but not why,
never know why - we never die
CAUGHT IN THIS TRAP
While the world turns black and the crowd becomes consuming
Share your space with souls forever caught
Between the here and there is only madness
Is knowing worth the price it costs to stare inside Pandora's Box?
One day the sky will disappear
The walls of time removed
Shattered lives won't matter here
Doomed to search for light - Forever black
Dead Eyes
To execute
You made no compromise
Men aren't pigs - Slaughtered
Infected with a plague or rendered with a scalpel by you
You make the claim it was just a job
And killing's nothing more than sawing logs
Wash your hands but blood leaves stains
You don't deny
You say you've a creative side
The passion born to an inquisitive mind
Entered men alive and destroyed them from inside It's true
Extracted organs slowly one by one
Your only goal to see the damage done
It's you - You slid the razor
You - The anti-savior
You - The crucifier
Babies bathed in fire
No light shines
From Dead Eyes
It's odd how they match your own
No justice
For the murdered
Shoveled lives like lumps of coal
Your victims
Fed the furnace
In the blackened pit that was your soul
Soulless and dead-eyed
At the core
You gained a thrill from the sickening stench
The smell of terror as they marched to their death
Carry out your orders like a patriotic soldier and maim, rape, and decapitate
My only wish is that you'd face their fate
It's you - You led the slaughter
Mother, son, and daughter
You - You drove the masses
Bodies scorched to ashes
No light shines
From Dead Eyes
It's odd how they match your own
No justice
For the murdered
Shoveled lives like lumps of coal
Your victims
Fed the furnace
In the blackened pit that was your soul
Soulless and dead-eyed
Human Bullet
White Light
Mission classified
Neural Probe
Map your mind target
Run the maze my loyal pet
Recall your orders and the rest forget
You are close
So close to the perfect crime
A human bullet in a chambered mind
An appetite for profanity
Everything you were made to be
Fracturing the pristine mind
Crack the shell and reach inside
Manipulating all we find to do or die
Conflict borne of man-machines
Solidifies our chosen scheme
It's so much more than what it seems behind your eyes
White Light
Falling Star
The you you knew is now the slave you are
Dancing
To a dirge that sings within
A waltz of damage just beneath the skin
Rhythmic death
Death tapped out by your puppet toes
Another current in the undertow
Below the waves we weave the curse
To drown the world, choke the earth
Assembling the fractured mind
Puzzle equals suicide
Create the killer from inside
Some dreams must die
Slaughtering ability
Bred in you through trickery
Surrender blindly, slake our greed
And stain the skies
Dominate - Until we hear their cries
Dominate - While they believe our lies
Dominate - Salt and twist the knife
Dominate - Until the wound is ripe
Above theocracy we reign
Sharing death, bearing pain
In god's name all the heretics must die
Behind Democracy we rule
And Communists we use as tools
All the world's devoted to our crime
And still they trust their minds?
Above theocracy we reign
Sharing death, bearing pain
In god's name all the heretics must die
Behind Democracy we rule
And Communists we use as tools
All the world's devoted to our crime
