I want to touch your body I want to eat your soul I want to touch your body Come on lets rock and roll I represent the darkness That hides inside us all I represent the darkness I am your final call I am the prophet of evil The shadows are my world Come with me to my castle And let me finish my work I represent the darkness That hides inside us all I represent the darkness I am your final call The gates of hell are waiting We’re walking hand in hand It’s so exhilarating Welcome to my wasteland I represent the darkness That hides inside us all I represent the darkness I am your final call Give me your mind and body You will not have regrets You do not have to worry I can not loose this bet I represent the darkness That hides inside us all I represent the darkness I am your final call I saw you at the crossroads You sold your soul to me Now you are mine to play with For all eternity I represent the darkness That hides inside us all I represent the darkness I am your final call The price of fame and fortune Is eternal slavery A life of sin and darkness That’s it for you and me I represent the darkness That hides inside us all I represent the darkness I am your final call

Reason 07:45
Here I am, in the final room The end of all roads, a place of doom This is where the end takes place It’s for a reason All my actions led to this What’s left now is loneliness No doors left to open or close It’s for a reason No regrets or no remorse I was lead by a bigger force The story must now run its course It’s for a reason The world was too conservative So I became a fugitive We were all so secretive It’s for a reason I close my eyes and I think of things That could have been in the mist of time I don’t want to feel without a reason I close my eyes and I think of things That could have been in the mist of time I don’t want to feel without a reason We took their freedom and their lives With guns, explosives fear and knives But we lived on borrowed time It’s for a reason Their power was too great to beat Our victories were bittersweet In the end we faced defeat It’s for a reason We had our dreams and our ideals We were the cogs that drove the wheels Now I’m fighting my last appeals It’s for a reason In solitary cells we sit The world outside can’t make us fit They want us to be desperate It’s for a reason I close my eyes and I think of things That could have been in the mist of time I don’t want to feel without a reason I close my eyes and I think of things That could have been in the mist of time I don’t want to feel without a reason Nothing left to win or loose Nothing left to hope or choose The final challenge I must face It’s for a reason I think about the things I said before I think about what I have done for more I think about what I have left It’s for a reason But we take our fate in our own hands Tonight we’ll make out final stand No one will misunderstand It’s for a reason Desperation turns to victory There is no room for apathy Our message lives eternally It’s for a reason I close my eyes and I think of things That could have been in the mist of time I don’t want to feel without a reason I close my eyes and I think of things That could have been in the mist of time I don’t want to feel without a reason

Time 07:55
There’s a time to keep you waiting There’s a time to close your eyes There’s a time for contemplating There’s a time to cut the ties When the world is intimidating And no one can hear your cries When all hope evaporated You’ve become a compromise Live your life like a dream on the edge of time I am out of space I am out of time Every time you think you’re waiting Every time you think you’re wise But you are insinuating That you live in a world of lies When you’re not participating And you can not harmonize Fear can be intoxicating But it must be neutralized Live your life like a dream on the edge of time I am out of space I am out of time The sound of death reverberating Through the world behind your eyes You have tried eliminating The cries of the terrified But the voices keep on calling There is no escape or prize Doesn’t matter how deep you’re falling Everyone you think of, dies Live your life like a dream on the edge of time I am out of space I am out of time

Paranoia 07:00
It’s in the darkness that i open my eyes I want to run away The night is scary and so full of surprise I do not want to stay There’s no one out there that can help me escape So I can stay alive The shadow darkens and I can see a shape I’m trying to survive Oh, somebody's out to get me I slowly realize Oh, somebody's out to get me From the other side The faceless shadow’s coming closer to me Without a sound or smell Where does it come from, this creature of the night Maybe straight from hell Am I awake or am I dreaming all of this I do not understand I need to blow this blinding darkness away So I can stand a chance Oh, somebody's out to get me I slowly realize Oh, somebody's out to get me From the other side Time is standing still, the moment lasts forever I know that I exist But in this labyrinth the meanings are not right An ocean full of mist My paranoia is my biggest enemy A battle I can’t win Set me free from the chains that hold me back To find a new beginning Oh, somebody's out to get me I slowly realize Oh, somebody's out to get me From the other side It’s in the darkness that I open my eyes It’s where I want to be The night is wonderful and full of surprise It’s what I like to see There’s no one out there that can help you get away Your fate is in my hands Will you be able to see the light of day To make a final stand Oh, somebody's out to get me I slowly realize Oh, somebody's out to get me From the other side

The Ritual 04:39

about

Early 20th century. Barbarism on an industrial scale. After the final shots had rung out Europe was left a husk, a shell to be rebuilt. And she did rebuild. Slowly, but surely, normality returned. Different zones. Different ideologies. One Europe. Yet not everyone was happy. Within this struggling continent there were those who saw the hand of authoritarianism at the wheel, past criminals ruling and lands being led back to dictatorship. The solution: the sub machine gun.

From Reason to Ritual is Rude 66´s most ambitious album to date. Amsterdam´s premier electronic musician maps the rise and fall of terrorism over two slabs of wax. Gruesome naivety, one that led to countless deaths, is given an electro beat on the first record, “Reason.” Warbling wave vocals from Ruud’s wife Shaunna tell a bitter tale of paranoia and looming violence. That violence is truly realised on the second record “Ritual.” Beats rain like shards of broken glass, constricted acid and echo as the enemy closes in for the final hollow defeat. An album that takes you from manifesto to death march.
