Herrschaft Paris, France

HERRSCHAFT was born at the end of year 2004 from the eager of its four members to melt their passion for extreme Metal and Electro/Indus genres on a single experiment.
HERRSCHAFT is about to break a five-year silence by digging once more in human’s mind, now in a more introspective, raw and perverse manner withe their new album : "Les 12 Vertiges".
HERRSCHAFT is now ready to sound louder than ever ... more

Track Name: Gates To Dreams
My dreams are fairy and majestic
Unbound, I drown into them
Mesmerizing, where beauty denies logic
I live for consuming their flame
Glowing and blooming lights, yet reachable and warm
I've given everything to sink into this world

So are my dreams, ethereal and deep

Vaporous faces drive me through the lands of my creation
Living paintings of desire, bodies of which I am the lone owner
Shades of colors caressing, any shadow banishing
My lethargy leading me high

So are my dreams, ethereal and deep
Treasure of my inner, sanctified keep

My dreams are rejecting their creator
Betrayed me and closed all the gates
Mesmerizing, now true life is unbearable
I'll die for returning to them
They shut their ears to the song that my heart had pleaded
For their warm light to enfold my lost wings

So were my dreams, ethereal and deep, but cursed by their dwellers

Synapses stick me down to the garbage
Abandoned awaken and in pain
Starving to take a pill that would open
The golden doors once again
Track Name: Kimi Ga Yo
You're welcome to the new experience
Your brain is my laboratory
You'll feel strong as ever
You're connected to a weird frequency
Look at this milky diamonds – admiration of this precious stone
Between my pretty long fingers – it will become ultimate pure stardust

-PRE CHORUS-
(Japanese)
There is no condition to your insanity

-CHORUS-
White clouds, White lines, White nose
Whispering dust – enjoy the call of pure energy
Heart beat, Heart shock, Heart break
Crossing the line – you’re no longer like other people
White clouds, White lines, White nose
Whispering dust – enjoy the call of pure energy
Black dreams, Black screams, Black blood
Broken machine – the lava’s running red in your throat

You’ve just crossed the line, You are the king of the party
Beware of the beast attack, and be sure that you’re fucking sexy

Look at those black nose bleeds, to the dime bag of my medicine
A silver spun or a golden straw? You widely prefer my cocaine

-PRE CHORUS-
(Japanese)
There is no condition to your insanity

-CHORUS-
White clouds, White lines, White nose
Whispering dust – enjoy the call of pure energy
Heart beat, Heart shock, Heart break
Crossing the line – you’re no longer like other people
White clouds, White lines, White nose
Whispering dust – enjoy the call of pure energy
Black dreams, Black screams, Black blood
Broken machine – the lava’s running red in your throat

Kimi ga yo wa chiyo ni yachiyo ni
Track Name: Disorder Mind Mechanics
Drowning myself in a magma of pain, I do not raise my head
The burning lava is caressing my skin
Suffering - of my whole existence

And now I am just opening my eyes, only thanks to drunkenness
And now I am watching the rising stars
Artificial Paradise

For manufactured life, an illusion of happiness
Until the burnout I walk like a robot
Just give me the strength to resist, to mask - my unworthiness

And I am drinking my fuel to survive
Now I am raising my fist to the sky
But I'm too dirty to remain a man

DISORDER, DISORDER, OBEY MIND MECHANICS

I feel locked into a stinking n' oppressive boil
That makes me obey, and forces me to sleep

Kneeling down, emptying this bottle, breaking my veins
Crumbling down, I'm losing these battle and destroying my brain

And I'm perspiring my blood like a slave
Now I am raising my stub to the sky
But I'm too filthy to remain a man

DISORDER, DISORDER, OBEY MIND MECHANICS
Track Name: Seducing Dementia
I am sprawling in my armchair and feel so good
A watchful glare wrapping and taking care of my sensations
A restrained explosion

I feel even better, and more and more cheerful
All the joy building up at the bottom of my throat into a bouncy and hysterical ball

-CHORUS-
Seducing dementia
I'm Unable to hold it any longer
I need to pour this joy out
Even if only a little

Both sensations of movement and movement of sensations
I need to declaim those words - again and again
I want to share this truth with every man
As if I could kiss this world

But as it takes ages to command my lips to move
And finally my words so odd, slightly disturbed I decide
I will not move my body
But let the room dance around me

-CHORUS-
Seducing dementia
I'm Unable to hold it any longer
I need to pour this joy out
Even if only a little

Only now I realize - how tense and painful I am
For I've been sitting such a long time now
All my muscles prickling, my whole body is under strain
Trying to relieve the point of pressure again

I need to stretch my will and lean aside uncross my legs
But my body remains frozen - and paralyzed
My whole motion painfully slow I feel it'll never end
Blocked by fear as if a single move could make everything fall and crash

Seated and petrified
Agonizing till the achievement
Prickling and terrorized
Of taking over the control
Track Name: Rat In Cage
Let you melt in blood,
Through arteries to the core
Let you rise up my soul
And animate your mind
And Bring life to the bones
On your throat tighten the wire

Under your feet, feel your strength overflowing
The snake shivers as your legs are mine
Dance as much as you can, confident you're shining
And Let me climb up around your spine

-CHORUS-
Worst fears, I am your worst fears
Deeper and closer to the treasure you hide
Running far from the edge but your fear's bleeding through
You're a rat in the cage, the splinted eye watching you

I am feeding you as much as I take, my fingers wrapping slowly around your soul
The coldness of my pressure you can feel on your neck
Your drips of sweat I will drink them all

-CHORUS-
Worst fears, I am you worst fears
One by one these hiding walls will be taken down
Running far from the edge but your fear's bleeding through
You're a rat in the cage, the splinted eye watching you

Give me the codes, let me get in and show your true face

Now I want you to relieve me at last
But what remains of you
Adrenaline abandoned me aghast
I took all that I wanted to

Far from the stage, motionless in the shadows
The fed snake is enjoying the scene
Caught in your head, can't even make a move
I will release the grasp if you say you love me

-CHORUS-
Worst fears, I am you worst fears
One by one these hiding walls will be taken down
Running far from the edge but your fear's bleeding through
You're a rat in the cage, the splinted eye watching you

One by one these hiding walls will be taken down (repeat)
Give me the codes, let me get in and show your true face
Track Name: Endlessly Revolving
I've been knowing this for long
For I never found my own
That it has no effect at all
And never knew where I belong
That tolerance has reached its maximum
I'm still asking this question
I tried so many times before
And no one found the answer

Still I wander in the night
Searching for a whore to rape me
An alcohol to burn me
A poison to inject

Still I wander in the night
Feed me with anything,
Wipe my memories
stab me - just to give a little Freedom, Freedom
Just adding one more sin to this part of me

There is no god left to absolve me
For I never found my own
Only me and my desire
And never knew where I belong
I'll do anything to hold the key
I'm still asking this question
Does innocence make me better
And no one found the answer

Still I wander in the night
Spreading infection deeper in my insides
Drowning down in my lair

Still I wander in the night
Drug me with anything
Fuck me with anything
Stab me - just to give a little Freedom, Freedom
What my soul rejects, my insides are craving
Freedom, Freedom
Masterless puppet hanging, endlessly revolving
Just adding one more sin to this part of me
Track Name: Whispering Clouds
Let ring that last call don’t answer the phone
Just follow the errand before the night is gone
Tasting lips of others blurring in shades of grey
Pushing forward knowing the loneliness won’t fade away

And every night starting with the simple question
Glancing sideways at strangers, but still your face for obsession
Wondering how you escaped and how bad did you hurt
Use the thoughts of your pain and heal my wounds in return

-CHORUS-
I left you at the corner of this street and stopped the game
And as smoke died in circles I didn't turn back
Broken parts never assemble again, they just rewire the pain
I left my last heartbeats with you this night

Remember when we used to step on this endless path
When Night deserved to be played and not to be watched
Dead drugged and drunk stepping on the limits of (our) bodies
Together caring of nothing, praying sunrise, for ceremony

-CHORUS-
I left you at the corner of this street and stopped the game
And as smoke died in circles I didn't turn back
Broken parts never assemble again, they just rewire the pain
I left my last heartbeats with you this night

Forever and after
Remember and bleed
My soul will blossom crippled
With a burden to live
Track Name: Bloodpulse
Newborn I am, and I feel like no other
An ocean of adrenaline flowing through my veins
I am moving like a rat in the shadow corner
I'm sure you didn't hear me coming
I feel like I'm invincible and unseen
The world is bowing under my pressure

The air I breath I make it burn
And I swallowed the night

-CHORUS-
BLOODPULSE
I've drunk the essence of lust and life
Feeling every glimpse of your…
BLOODPULSE
My breath in the air is like a knife
My tongue starving to lick – FLESH

And I melted to the darkness with no compromise
And blood will spurt out of the hunting
I stand so close – to seize my prize
I'm sure you didn't hear me coming

The air I breath I make it burn
And I swallowed the night

-CHORUS-
BLOODPULSE
I've drunk the essence of lust and life
Feeling every glimpse of your…
BLOODPULSE
My breath in the air is like a knife
My tongue starving to lick – FLESH

And you know – what I'm up to know (*4)
I can feel every glimpse of your.. (*4)

BLOODPULSE
I've drunk the essence of lust N' life
Feeling every glimpse of your..
BLOODPULSE
My breath in the air is like a knife
My tongue starving to lick…
BLOODPULSE
I am pure energy of revolt
My heart's beating until - BREAK
Track Name: Virtual Medication
It makes me feel so fucking good
I really don't care of what they think
It makes me feel so fucking good
They say that I take it because I'm sick
It doesn't matter if its breaks me now
In deep depression and when light goes down
Countdown to absolution
Do you want to taste my medication?
VIRTUAL HEALTH – is making me forget coming death
Countdown to absolution
Do you want to taste my medication?
VIRTUAL HEALTH – is making me forget my distress

Now I'm opening my eyes to realize
The world around me is just a masquerade
There is no hope, nothing to save my soul
I'm trying to escape from my own sickness
Can you imagine how I'm feeling now,
Without the candies that help me to sleep?
Can you imagine all the pain inside?
I can't survive, I can't control my mind.
Countdown to absolution
Do you want to taste my medication?
VIRTUAL HEALTH – Is making me forget coming death
Countdown to absolution
Do you want to taste my medication?
VIRTUAL HEALTH – is making me forget my distress
VIRTUAL HEALTH – is making me forget my blindness

I am arising my head to the sky
Watching the stars illuminating the night
I've swallowed the pills, the pills I had in my hand
Will I win this fight against my inner fears?
Countdown to absolution
Do you want to taste my medication?
Countdown to absolution
Whispering voice of my salvation
Track Name: Allmighty
I am almighty I am high above
Taking everything at once even wanting more
There is no sweeter madness to feel in control
Of this tenuous balance life is sourcing from

Unstoppable and out of control
Morale dethroned, pride trodden and truth swallowed
The magma melting - A pack of needles itching
In my insides, but I'm Strong enough to control it

Forgive me,
You only saw the facet I showed you
While I'm so many pieces of a broken mirror
Reflecting in every direction
Bright and broken
Fascinating
And showing me all
I see my infinity of lies
I'll ride thru them one and all

I am almighty I am high above
Running to the end down the horizon
I want to keep warming, I want to keep strong
No turning back, staring at the damage done

One little lie added to another
But this whisper in me urging to go further
Willing to take no choice that could slow me down
For all answer I choose life, I follow the voices

Everything is ruined and frozen
And at the ending of all the paths I've travelled
I know now I got myself lost

Feeling the rain
Deep in my bones dripping in my brain
Crystallizing my heart cold
With my lies, leaving me alone
Track Name: Thirty-Six
The height here is impressive
Yet, unafraid of little lights,
Quenched and cold I've been longing just to
Jump and vanish in the night
Despite my efforts to retain my essence
Warmth leaving my fingertips, my rememberance

-PRE CHORUS-
Shaking vision and blury borders
All chaos left, Entropy decreases
Anaesthetic depth bringing back the order
When all is gone and all comes back and I go...

-CHORUS-
Down, eating me from the inside
Chrysalis frozen and scarred
Let me fly away and root out from my corpse
Let me fly – and burst in the stars

-CHORUS-
Down, eating me from the inside
Chrysalis frozen and scarred
Let me fly away and root out from my corpse
Let me fly – and burst in the sky

-PRECHORUS-
Shaking vision and blury borders
All chaos left, Entropy decreases
Anaesthetic depth bringing back the order
When all is gone and all comes back and I go...

“Moestra et errabunda
the green Paradise of childhood loves
Is it farther off now ?
Moestra et errabunda
That sinless Paradise, full of the furtive pleasures
Is it farther off now ?”
Track Name: Mephedron Trip
A rude awakening after a hard night
Violet encircles that make-up my eyes
An iron taste I feel in my mouth
And broken bones like, like after a fight
I feel my muscles contracting
Now my body is arising

I have the face of a living dead man
My nose is bleeding – it bled all night long
I need a stimulant to recover on my feet
I managed to get-up, I'm not dead yet

I feel my muscles contracting
Now my body is arising

You're welcome to my Mephederontrip
And now you know why I feel like this
You're welcome to my Mephedrontrip
And now you know why I love these pills

I'm neither a saint, nor an angel
My place is where I can run away
I'm neither a saint, nor an angel
My place is where I can run away

I can't recognize
I can't recognize
I can't recognize
I can't recognize
Recognize myself
