Megalomaniac
KMFDM · Mortal Kombat: Annihilation - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [1997]
Glück ist nicht käuflich sehnsucht bleibt unerreicht
Preisrätsel winken nimmersatt
Kein mitleid für die mehrheit
Nihilistic mystics
Apostolic alcoholics
Messianic manics
Catyclismic and prolific
In the age of super-boredom
Hype and mediocrity
Celebrate relentlessness
Menace to society
This is counter-culture
From the underground
Eternal revolution this is our sound
KMFDM better than the best
Megalomaniacal and harder than the rest
Refuse is our inspiration
Terrorism our trade
Sabotage and piracy
Chaos our mental sate
Mesmerizing festering
Intended for the faint of heart
Cultish and Anthemic
Until death us do part
Like a fiendish tropic virus
Spitting bile at all you whores
Razor-sharp tongue-in-cheek
Poking in your open sores
A wolf in sheep's clothing
The ultimate disgrace
Wrapped up as a gift of God
Exploding in your face
This is counter-culture
From the underground
Eternal revolution this is our sound
KMFDM better than the best
Megalomaniacal and harder than the rest
Wenn der untergrund bebt ist die ordnung erschüttert
Der verrat an der seele macht leben ungesund
Mit unschlagbaren reimen werden wir uns vertreiben
Die zeit der langen weile bis zum grossen bums
Megalomaniac
KMFDM's 'Megalomaniac' serves as a defining track from the Mortal Kombat: Annihilation soundtrack, exemplifying the band's signature fusion of industrial metal and electronic aggression. Released in 1997, the recording leverages the group's signature distorted guitars and driving rhythms to create an intense, cinematic atmosphere that perfectly complements the film's action-oriented narrative. As a staple of the industrial metal genre, the song showcases the band's ability to blend dark, mechanical textures with melodic hooks, establishing a sonic identity that remains influential in the genre. The track stands as a powerful example of how KMFDM utilized electronic production to craft a distinct, high-energy sound that resonated with fans and critics alike during the late 1990s.
