1. | Bring Down the Witching Hour | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
Pools of black eternity Sweeping down on brightly burning fires When comes the righteous ones Bringing the servants of leechy throngs Angels, remembering every promise Black vise crushing the feathers white Come pain deliver us in darkness Unknown, the promise of their demise Intercepting a world Dwelling in disbelief Were able to exterminate You Down-to-Earthlings With truth that would toss you into suicidal grief What renaissance this hour will bring Dark grimoires of sorceries Filled with spells of cursed conjurations Bring down the witching hour From earth to ashes we all shall fall Those eyes, ebony enchanted Pass on the undenying truth Of youth there isn’t any left What came from this insanity? Bring on pain and suffering The answer for crimes Plead as much you can You liar, you fucking liar Pools of black eternity Sweeping down on brightly burning fires Bring down the witching hour From earth to ashes we all shall fall Free men, shall come as the unwanted Forcing the old ones to leave in vain At last denial bringing justice Cruel fate, they are forever slain |

2. | The Blood Is the Almighty Sin | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
The sun is setting And night comes crawling back Out of the shadows deep Comes a creature of the night And now the stars are shining bright Hunting the innocent He draws their burning blood Taking images of lives Being ended The mask he wears Concealing his remorse These memories of life Is getting distant But every time he takes A life as sweet as this His memory is back Of life’s unjustfulness But wanting more of life He searches far and wide Arising from the east A ball of searing pain Burning every vein And sleep must come again His fears of waking to a world of unknowns Is becoming a nightmare of truths Every death he has brought to this world Will be known at the end of his time Hunted the innocent He drew their burning blood But now his life Is being ended The mask he used to wear Concealing his remorse Has been forever torn From his burning palm His soul is darkening The future endless black Still hoping for redemption But being pushed into the void (Solo) His fears of waking to a world of unknowns Is becoming a nightmare of truths Every death he has brought to this world Will be known at the end of his time And now the feeling is leaving his veins The blood is the almighty sin Becoming one with the creature of night Is sure to be ending your life But now the innocent Wanting a sweet revenge Comes crashing down the stair Into the grave And even though remorse Was often in his mind Striking hard and swift The stick is driven through his heart |

2. | Death Becomes All | 04:48 | Show lyrics |
I am the master ruling the fate Of the invisible ones guarding the gate Walking in the shadows feeling the pain Why do they wander fleeting in vain I seek to gather and to enslave The souls of mortal men wanting their awe Watching the embers of burning bones In gloomy darkness haunting their homes They are forever the meek, facing the trial So I walk with the moonlight, weeding the weak No one escape my burning wrath Feeling joy just listening to their final dying shriek Living their lives out in utter misery They are the mortal weaklings from birth forsaken No need to shed no tears when time has come For them to leave this world behind forever more I seek to gather and to enslave The souls of mortal men wanting their awe Watching the embers of burning bones In gloomy darkness haunting their homes They are forever the meek, facing the trial So I walk with the moonlight, weeding the weak No one escape my burning wrath Feeling joy just listening to their final dying shriek (Solo) Living their lives out in utter misery They are the mortal weaklings from birth forsaken You still shed tears for every loved one But still I come to reap them all I am the master ruling the fate Of the invisible ones guarding the gate Walking in the shadows feeling the pain Why do they wander fleeting in vain Reaper Eternal is thy name With the fall of the masses Alight the flame You are The harbinger of fall With the rise of eternity When death becomes all |

The sun is setting And night comes crawling back Out of the shadows deep Comes a creature of the night And now the stars are shining bright Hunting the innocent He draws their burning blood Taking images of lives Being ended The mask he wears Concealing his remorse These memories of life Is getting distant But every time he takes A life as sweet as this His memory is back Of life’s unjustfulness But wanting more of life He searches far and wide Arising from the east A ball of searing pain Burning every vein And sleep must come again His fears of waking to a world of unknowns Is becoming a nightmare of truths Every death he has brought to this world Will be known at the end of his time Hunted the innocent He drew their burning blood But now his life Is being ended The mask he used to wear Concealing his remorse Has been forever torn From his burning palm His soul is darkening The future endless black Still hoping for redemption But being pushed into the void (Solo) His fears of waking to a world of unknowns Is becoming a nightmare of truths Every death he has brought to this world Will be known at the end of his time And now the feeling is leaving his veins The blood is the almighty sin Becoming one with the creature of night Is sure to be ending your life But now the innocent Wanting a sweet revenge Comes crashing down the stair Into the grave And even though remorse Was often in his mind Striking hard and swift The stick is driven through his heart |

4. | Angelic Voices Calling | 03:53 | Show lyrics |
So as he feels the knife she holds against his throat His sweat breaks out, he’s cold The voice is a whisper from beyond Angelic voices calling out to her in promise She cuts his face Demanding prayers Sinful forever Now wrath is here From the time When she loveth Comes a burning pain Deep inside But now as the knife it searches deeper He cries out from the pain The men of her life forever sinful And now she cleans the world of one more evil sinner (Solo) Live in pain No more for her Weeding out the weak Is her ugly task The voice is a whisper from beyond Angelic voices calling out to her in promise And now the time For his departure Has court with him And death must come Slit his throat The knife is cleaned of his blood She leaves the body dead Going out to find another male Deserving of her callous hate for being wrongful |

5. | Never Again | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
In the realm of the dead Hatred born anew Freezing souls unbound by fate Comes to watch this abomination She’s calling out to him again No answer is expected Despairing in her pain Feelings a whirlwind inside In his wrath of the unjust fate Chaos spreads among the dead Never before a kind like him Born from love and hate he is But by the endless pit The border eternal Falling into the abyss Is forever his love All their pain Comes again now As the grayness of this empty Realm forever Trapped alone Never more shall Their love be fulfilled again This romance is another Never again shall they meet Calling on him Calling in vain (Solo) Hear the cries All forlorn now She feels eternity Crushing her heart Lost, alone No postponing The unavoidable No more Love Shan’t pass between Lovers again Fate Brought pain and hurt And now they know Never again shall they meet Now knowing his cruel fate Believing the unwanted Calling out to her in vain Fortress of hatred he is She’s falling and the flames Is licking her sweet limbs Hearing his fated cries Knowing cruelness is at play Never again shall they meet Calling on him Calling in vain Love Shan’t pass between Lovers again Knowing the cruelness of Fate Brought pain and hurt And now they know Never again shall she feel the embrace of her love |

1. | Zetite | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Deep I dig to discover the truth Deep inside where secrets hide I hunt the hierarchy’s highest heroes To hurt where vulnerability lies Roses burning on a roaring ore Of secret desires, hate and admirance Within your soul, your mind and core And leave you torn like an open sore Without the use of violence ...Unless, of course, I have the chance Now you’ll see, now you’ll find, now you’ll recognize me Caught in my grasp as you gasp to try and feel the air Now you’ll see, now you’ll find how my ways work You can try what you can to seek to find the answer here Society’s wars means little to me, I have my pleasures, I have my affairs My own agendas are impossible to see Before you find yourself exposed in my lair I sting and stain your insane soul, I sting where it is fatal You won’t feel a thing at all Unless you cause my house of cards to fall... Try and find me You’ll find yourself lost in my maze Try and get free But I don’t think you’ll find the way Now you’ll see, now you’ll find, now you’ll recognize me You’re caught in my grasp as you gasp to feel the air Now you’ll see, now you’ll find how my ways work You can try what you can to seek to find the answer here (Solo) Step not close to me, because I may bite As soon as you’re stepping into my sight No use to run or to try for flight If I’ve seen you and feel you’re the right Jigsaw-puzzle-piece I need To fulfill my ongoing deed Of spreading my little, infectious line Of immortal, blood feeding breed Try and run now Because you don’t know the power of the blood bond You can’t hide how Ever hard you try to find a haven safe enough to sleep You can’t hear me Before I sneak up next to your resting-place Nor can you see me Before you look into my yellow eyes and Feel your hope vanish in the air And my bite sinking into your neck |

2. | Behind the Mirrors | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
The mirrors, the mirrors That hides the hideous Me, the others Banned and forbidden From of your world Alone and cold Watching in silence So close, still aeons away… Touch the surface, cold and smooth You see me as I watch you… When you move, I move too, But is this you or me who moves? Who are you and who’s the reflection? Crush a crack, feel the connection I am you and we will win. Crush the mirror. Let me in! A little crack is all it takes. Drop the mirror, let it fall Because every time you smash a mirror, I steal a little piece of your soul The mirrors, the mirrors That are between us Me and you Separated, delirious You: beholder, Seeing. We Are watching, observing You still when you are not Touch the surface, cold and smooth You see me as I touch you... The borderline between me and you Is a vast prison for both of us two And you know what you must do To get us out of this celestial’s zoo (Solo) Crush it, crack it, smash it to pieces Of your sick, pathetic world Little fragments of yourself and me. Flickering, see it twirl! Destroy the pure, transparent shroud Don’t listen to your doubts Let it break, smash it now Let me in! Let me out! The mirrors, the mirrors / are locked like doors Me, alone / behind what’s between us Hidden, unseen / admired and adored Aware, unknown / brinked with mistrust Watch the mirror, broken and scarred Seeing me as who you are Your eyes are mine, and I look at your hand... ...and I see blood |

3. | Cast into Fields of Evil Pleasure | 05:07 | Show lyrics |
At the brink of Hell an island swims in lakes of fire by the darkened plains Deserted and dead it declares its place By spewing it’s magma like blood from its veins and covering the island In a black, poisonous haze This was the first spot where the angel Lucifer set his foot And claimed and declared this view as his home He came from the north, and alone was he not But joined by the followers from the roads he had roamed Here he set his haven. Here where angels die Here he baptise the newcomers in fire. On the Devil’s own Sinai. (Female) "Sinai roars as your frail brittle bones viciously torn, mutilated and scorched. Bleeding lava pulsating like blood, ’neath your skin as it withers and burns" Still the damned gather here to hail Amidst burning smoke beneath black skies Hellhounds bark at the northern pale view... This is the common abyss for all alike Where the red, melted stone fl ow a scorching river Into the day in north, and in south: the night. And here (Here you are) on the outstretching fields (On Elysium grounds) Far away (Far away from life). God (God) is out of reach Here they gather to spit and curse and bark From the south of heaven where angels are told Not to approach nor to look nor to set foot Where the truth of Armageddon will unfold Here they sacrifice the captured saints . Here is where the torture awaits Here is where you abandon your faith. On the Devil’s own Sinai... They wait and wail in ghastly pain While digging deep inside, insane. Inflict a wound you heal in vain As blood pours black from pierced veins They crush and cut, the dark stone stained A ribcage opens, a hole that frames A soul unstained and struggling sane Beneath the burning rain :/ ...cast into the fields of evil pleasure. Discovering the abyss’ deepest hidden treasure Bending borders of emotional measure Cast far into the fields of evil pleasure... (Solo) It’s always been there, and forever it will Stay untouched by the tooth of time Standing with majestic intimidation Bat-winged creatures surrounding its peak, High above Hell they all fly Forever screaming in demonic celebration And here (Here you are) on the outstretching fields (On Elysium grounds) Cast into the fields (Cast into the fields) of evil pleasure Forever (Forever) awaiting only to (die) |

4. | Temporary Borders | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Whispered words beneath the floating autumn leaves Flying softly on the southern breeze Fragments of light between the branches and trees I wish I would stay here forever The sun is sinking behind mountains of old Brushing faintly clouds of red and gold Night-time’s flinging a vast veil of velvet across fields and forest Trespassing the havens of daylight’s temporary borders. I knew my game could gain me but grief, the fairy tale was on though brief Trespassing the havens of secrecy’s temporary borders. Scratching the surface of times seemingly forgotten Of you who once were mine betrothen Digging ’neath layers of emotions now rotten I feel myself slip away Nostalgic entertainment tingled by the past You were the one to be mine at last But now my memory’s ever fading so fast Keeping emotions at bay Here I sit, and memories unfold My feelings are hollow, I’m feeling so old (Female) "I feel it fade away and cry tears in solitude" Trespassing the havens of night-time’s temporary borders As shadows collapse in the mating of day and night, crows are circling in ominous flight Trespassing the havens of my own temporary borders (temporary borders) (Solo) I tried… I tried hard to believe Thinking of us has left me but grief I cannot look ahead, the past is all I see Moments together, but time’s a thief Shadows recurring from times long since passed Our time and now in a perfect contrast (Female) "As I see you sitting by my grave I feel your presence, but can’t say a word Your heart and love, patient and brave But my soul is too late for you to save" I am probably a fool still thinking of you Night after night… There’s not much else I can do For neither myself nor you Maybe I should leave and never come back to this place… But I know too surely that I’m only fooling myself I’m only fooling myself |

5. | The Creator’s Biggest Pride | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
The sun sets at last, sliding slowly and silently down ’Low the horizon in the west, where a small house lies… The puppet-man is ending his workday, as the starlight peak through the clouds He’s worked all day and says goodnight to his dolls before he close the door He lives alone in this house, and it’s his home and a way of living Though he thought he knew all the secrets of his house, there’s more… ’Cause tonight… the puppets are roaming the room In spite… of being creatures of iron and wood They live as well as you and I Though driven by other forces inside And tonight the creator’s biggest pride Will make his way through the door and charge to take the puppet-man’s life Now the doll runs through the living-room And he’s hiding in the dimly faded gloom Now he’s approaching the bed And won’t leave until the body is dead But the creator awakes before the doll can fulfill the task And he’s paralyzed in amazement as he sees his hand-made mask Of the horrifying devil he made Once so many years ago And he cannot even scream as the knife Rips through his throat He’ll never again be put back on that shelf "Kill the flesh! Kill the flesh!" screaming to himself The doll is standing above the puppet-maker’s corpse The devil-mask covered in blood and gore Silently standing, looking down With the dripping knife still in his hand Now he turns and he sees the door He’s tasted blood and is thirsty for more The rain is cleansing his mask as he runs through the night alone He’s shaking in tension as he’s heading for the town. (Solo) ’Cause tonight… the puppets are killing in town And the villagers are lying in bloodstained nighting-gowns And now as they all have become alive They are immortal and cannot die And tonight the creator’s biggest pride Will run into the world and try to take mortal men’s life He’s hunting at night. Watch out for open windows He’s hunting at night. Perhaps you should stay inside? He’s hunting at night |

8. | By the Hands of Violent Winter | 05:40 | Show lyrics |
By the hands of violent winter, his fate was sealed Crawling on the icy slopes with limbs frozen cold Memories of untold torture, in his mind Waking from the endless slumber leaving him numb Creeping worms they eat his mind Feelings blind this clouded time They took his soul, so they could find The truth Feeling hate for usurpers gone mad Reaching in for the power he had Wanting more than he could give But they would never falter In his mind only memories of hate Planted there by the monger’s of fate Reaching out for sanity But hope is ever fading Looking for the answer Why did they do this to me? Leaving me deserted I never asked for this hell Reaching out for fires burning, in his eyes Hope is still a trusty friend but fires burn low Snow keeps falling all around him, as he screams Seemingly the only answer is from the void Defeated and forsaken, he lies in fields of snow Only sign of life his eyes, in panic seeking solace Sun, rising high Bringing, warmth and energy again Waking up from a steady state Of suspended animation Blinded by these rays of light Hailing from the sky Senses now return to him Tribulations feeling dim Now a sordid memory Impeding doom approaching As he run, try to shake off the vice No one hearing his desperate cries The usurpers are hunting him Hounds barking and wolves closing in His escape was a futile attempt He is hunted by common consent Now returned to the bleak white cell I hope that dying is the end of this hell (Solo) Looking for the answer Why are they doing this? What is it I have done? To deserve this living hell By the violent hands of winter, his fate is sealed Dying by the hands of strangers leaving him cold Memories of untold torture still in his mind Never more awakening, this time it’s the end Defeated and forsaken, his peers would not let go The trial was an endless one, and death did not yet show Come, reap my life Now, it’s the time of my departure Afore of him a shadow stands It’s glowing with eternal might "I am one of many names And one of them is bringer of light" |

Frozen constellations, now we are, Forever trapped by illusions of fate Arising from the ashes of fires, Burning low in the shadows of hate You and I, we are blinded by, Hatred flowing from years of denial As we cry, forever asking why, The blind is following others in vain Scorn these jubilations, by blinded ones, They are a picture of bruteness and pain Mourned by bygone years of exclusion, Are forever the loss of our sin Cursed, by shame and suffering Our lives are but a memory of reason Now it’s time Time for us to come crashing, Down the broadening lanes of life Trailing froth and illusion, Showering others in the truth of their condemning lies You and they, shall forever pray, The common wish for a leader of man Now and then, changed forever when The old and powerful, slain was by man Flowing tears, showing the world All the pain and the fears The old is here, and this time There’ll be no one spared Frozen constellations, now you are Forever trapped by delusions of pain Real life breaks again bringing foolishness You never know what tomorrow will bring |

1. | And There Was Light | 04:59 | Show lyrics |
And there was light And the darkness that followed blinded my eyes The night made we trustworthy and hid all my lies I called the seventh of the eight and gave him my offer So cold were the feelings I bore inside after I’d lost her Sometimes I still can hear His voices calling, calling me from everywhere And now and then I feel my soul slowly slipping out of myself into his... Hell claws at my window amd makes me forget To tell her of the deal and the conditions I met and now It’s far too late to tell her what’s going on here Somehow I’m almost looking forward to when this is over "I felt my ghost cross over, and knew he was near And across the river I could see him standing there" And there was light And the blackness that followed blinded her eyes The night drew her to me and we met in the dark And this "why am I here?" where the words she said A kiss told her responsible for her being dead She cried in silence and I wiped away her tears She felt my cold hand amplifying her fear She knew where she was and cursed her beloved And all of a sudden it all was over... Sometimes I still can hear His voices calling, calling me from everywhere And now and then I feel my soul slowly slipping out of myself into his hell "I know he’s waiting there for me In his limbo between destination and reality" |

Behold, he stands before you all Upon the tower, fit to fall See the beauty of the never-ending Hear his creatures call Say then, say then: Lay no eye upon my eye, lay no voice upon my crying Set no truth above my lie, shed no tear upon my dying An orphan is your child to be And like you took my child from me The likes of this, my vengeance Jave my hell bred creatures yet to see I’ve never known such naked pain As if I’m naked in the rain I’ve searched each world for virgin soil Fit for my slaughtered child’s remains Say then, say then: For an eye you take an eye, take my voice for all your crying Upon your infants grave I lie, upon it’s death I do my dying For his eye you take an eye, shattered was he when we found him Stone and cut and crucify, leave his killer’s heart unpounding Men and angels hide in vain For he who hath my firstborn slain Shall die before the sun has set He took my child, he will regret Say then, say then: Lay no eye upon my eye, lay no voice upon my crying Set no truth above my lie, shed no tear upon my dying Poised the strike in the slumberous sword Of the dark and childless lord "This machete of mine will get thee in time We’re alone in a room with no door" Yes, I recall the death of one Older and more holy son I see the irony, but that won’t render This one deed undone Say then, say then: For his eye you paid an eye, a law you find is self-fulfilling In your place your child did die Death is all you gain from killing |

Your smile so dim, your eyes alive A gesture hides a vicious lie Your face so clean, but deep inside I know you’re hiding something A trace so faint, a chisel’s scar Carved piece by piece who you are His head held high, but deep inside I know you’re hiding something Pieta, you’re the one and only truly holy sculpture So now... sentenced by the divine tool I wheel he falls down A crack and crackle, a thin black sear Upon the surface pale and raw Frozen for now, neatly carved Deep in silence, clutching at straws I crush the face, the crumbling lines An expanding maze that seems alive Again alone, you’re face is gone Still I see no confession coming from Your soul, your core, your hand, your son Still I know you’re hiding something I sit and wait, then un-create My mind confused and filled with hate I marvel at our common fate Still I know you’re hiding something Pieta, you’re the one and only truly holy sculpture So now... sentenced by the divine tool I wheel he falls down Another crack upon the marble Disfigurement I don’t even enjoy I see it now, though in vain I see how perfect art is pain And as I make you dissolve I see the secret that I have destroyed |

4. | Sought by the Fallen One | 04:57 | Show lyrics |
A granted wish for a demon’s kiss Drew lust for more and mental twists Across the simple minds of men And no one here was watching them As they broke into their certain doom By craving more that they deserved to So crowned and claimed by satan’s eye Is a book of truth that doesn’t speak lies Written words in well-inked shapes In demon-blood as he rapes The book of destiny Claimed by the damend who wants To stain his soul, but more can’t be For the one who seeks and will find me Sought by the fallen one Sought by the fallen one And I can never leave Forever bound in here An everlasting dream In an everlasting nightmare And even though I still Have my mortal soul to sell In here I’ve found My own personal hell Sought by the fallen one Recreating tortures down Inflicted deep by the foulest demons Children of the second son Sought by the fallen one Damnation for a battle one There’s nowhere left to hide my guilt And nowhere left to run My confessions were to grave That no living priest was brave enough To hear my spoken word be said Corrupted by my pain Slowly driving me insane With oblivion due, I’d rather be dead Seraphims sing their hymns in disgust! "You cannot run from what isn’t hunting", he said "It cannot kill what was never meant to be dead" Seraphims sing their hymns in disgust! |

5. | She the Plague | 04:56 | Show lyrics |
She sweeps the doorstep, a well-used broom Bring diseases and plague, the ultimate doom By witchcraft of trolls she casts her spells With curses from heaven and blessing from hell With the unholy rain and the northern breeze She curses the land with her broom-sweeps of disease While beasts obey her commanding word She sweeps mankind from the face of the earth A damp air surround what’s left A faint touch of decay A vast wreck yard is all that’s left Ruins of yesterday Cultural monuments scattered Broken, crushed, betrayed As the survivors rise and start again Trying to find a way Plague! The devil is amongst us Plague! Demise! Plague! Run and hide the youngsters Plague! Sacrifice! "I’ll kill you all as winter is coming and summer starts to crawl" She comes to town at the raven-dark night time When everyone lies restlessly inside Like a lonesome ghost she walks out there With red glowing eyes and pitch black hair Bubonic plague, we’re rotting alive We are all bleeding so deep inside Run to the forest, hide in there Let not this demon come you near, my dear! And all that’s left is ashes All that’s left is dust But we rise and live again Because we know we must And all that’s left is broken dreams All that’s left is death But we rise and live again Living with every breath |

6. | Feathers Shall Fall | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
The last days soon comes, the signs are shown In the blood washed streets of a manmade Babylon Feeding on everything our fathers left behind Abasing her grace since the beginning of time The rotten flesh of mother earth Pleads in sincere desperation her longing wish for Armageddon Deep inside a diabolical birth Prepare the grim invasion of the twisted demons soon unleashed "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall" Pulling at her blood stained sleeve Closing our eyes in disbelief A starless sky in purple shades Shine upon the landscape of am apocalyptical metropoolis It’s a vast wound in her face Decaying since the coming of man like god’s leprous kiss "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall" Feeding on everything our fathers left behind Abasing her grace since the beginning of time Gnawing at her empty breasts Tearing at her heartless chest Rip the veil and sacrecy away Expose the truth, her deepest secrets in the name of progress Bend the rules and break the chains Binding us to the only touchable and certain god or goddess "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call ...and feathers shall fall ...and feathers shall fall" |

7. | Clockwork of Time | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
I see no hope where hope should be A courtroom drama in major aspect Mortal laws for those who see Beyond extorted discipline and respect I see no hope where hope should be I see no seven, six nor three Faith has vanished, they are banished And gods fall furthers that you and me Fall! The clockwork of time is no oonger divine Shattered glass will guide the way, the path that leads To judgement day Pale and unmoving like golems of ashes Away from the wind and the rain that slashes Their powerful limbs to dust Nothing left to loose, but no one left to trust The ornamented entrance, the gate of pearls The lack of maintenance hurts And shivering is your empty hand Pointing way to the promised land Nothing is there but sun and sand Nothing more than whenee we are banned The shivering hand is loosing it’s grip Promises lamenting from your lips As they’re falling brick by brick Falling brick by brick Fall! The clockwork of time is no oonger divine Shattered glass will guide the way, the path that leads To judgement day Stored in a space untouched by man Praying for deliverance like only gods can Do when they are alone No churches nor shrines to call "home" |

8. | Book of Sand | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
Descending rapidly down the spiral Not quite sure what I have embarked Thoughts don’t make any sense at all In the shifting, liquid dark The words my eyes read on the sheet Pull my gaze along the lines Devour facts my comprehension meet In the words, between and behind Pulling my fate along in the book of sand (what does it make to make out this enigma?) Secrets of eternity’s at hand (everything here is a reason to fear the book of sand) The paper crackles perfectly as I slowly turn the pages The letters once more greet the light, the first time now in ages A careful, calligraphic handwriting of a magus And I crawl deep into his knowledge’s pitch black mines Dig deep and read the breed of the deed! Dust swirl out of reach of my dim candle light Little fragments of ink and paper freed of fearless fright What word were you, my little one why fly into the night? A death, a tear, a philtre or poison flowing in the wine? To read and search so deep inside Behind, beyond, between the lines What wonders are there I shall learn Behind, beyond, between the words? Between the pages like sand... Time has slipped my memory for long I tumble past page fourteen hundred and seven In a reverie out of my control Wrapped in a world of lore and legends Suddenly page six hundred and eleven Flash across my wet and weary eyes The previous page is unfamiliar And there yet another secret hides Pulling my fate along in the book of sand (what does it make to make out this enigma?) Secrets of eternity’s at hand (everything here is a reason to fear the book of sand) Dig deep and read the breed of the deed! And I so close the book again, leave the words all rest To ascend before I dive too deep is always for the best Close the tome and the session, at least until the next And let my eyes unwillingly forget the text To read and search so deep inside Behind, beyond, between the lines What wonders are there I shall learn Behind, beyond, between the words? Between the pages like sand Time has slipped my memory for long... |

1. | Ravenous Crows | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
Ravenous crows hover above the altar on the forest floor, watching, peering, proud but fearing. Circling down more and more And I recall you running, I recall you hide. The heart you would give was invisible inside. The laughter that ran like a silver creek, where can it be now, is it hidden in their beaks? Where can it be now? I wonder. If I’ve lost you I don’t know but your heart is my own, though it’s as cold as stone. I still can feel you here my dear and your lidless eyes they can’t but stare. Speak of your emerald eyes and the pearls they cried, your ruby smile and your ivory lies; It’s all collected here and it’s all so strong. Not a part is missing, not a jigsaw puzzle-piece is gone. Well enshrined here inside my sacred, my secret museum of art. Holy, enthroned, precious, my own, one of a kind; your heart. I - as I saw the ravenous crows I gave them your mortal shell and I - as I saw them closing in I saw them gather, following the smell and I - as I saw them hunger for you I left them with your soul’s prison cell I - gave them everything they wanted - I let them help themselves ...to pick clean your bones. And as they’re soon to feast, these gray clay-coloured beasts land carefully and hide next to where you lie. And they anticipate, then thank, they thank their fate and start pecking at your thighs and what once was where your eyes were. And the blood stained brittle beaks part in thanks and shriek with confessions of their cries. We all gave in, it was no sin, we love you, the crows and I. Ravenous crows! |

3. | Burn to Stone | 04:55 | Show lyrics |
A star fell in the North the night it moved and I could see it was a proof. I did my duty, did my part and burned a prophet’s face and heart. and then he came to me, emerging from the sea In the form he chose to be. And whispering to me: "This is my era, this is my time. This is my judgement Day, this Earth is now my shrine" Live your life for your sake only, live it out, enjoy it slowly. find your heart and dare to dream, find your saviour in your sleep. And be not afraid to die, but seek it not before your time. All you feel, you leave behind. Dreams are but for human kind. Worship the chaos in controlled frames. Lorentz’ learned to control the flames And be not afraid afraid to die, but seek it not before your time. Live it out, day by day. Chaos gives you the world like clay: To shift and shape, to wring and form. And when it’s perfect; burn to stone. And when your time is here, then you’ll die without a chance to justify all the the things you havent done, the places you still haven’t gone try to die well satisfied, cause dreams is all you leave behind or else all time is waste and everything you feel or taste is dead. Every word you said is gone, it’s dead. Everyone you ever loved is dead. Every daughter, every son is dead. |

You can see me but can you see yourself? Fight for freedom fight for war fight, doesn’t matter what you stand for Fight for nothing fight for fame, never knowing you put us to shame So pick your conscience up from the floor You betrayed it for so long, what are you fighting for? ...yourself or for everything? So how can you tell us how to act when you don’t know who you are? You can see me but can you see yourself? Let the lantern of passion lead the way Let the lantern of passion lead the way Fight for yourself, fight for your pride, do anything you can to deny Fight for the right to fight, fight, as long as you can do it in spite So pick you oppinionated mind apart And remember, once you had a heart Your heart is on fire Fighting for any cause you can blame for your own mistakes You lost your desire Now aware that the flames consumed you completely You are an empty shell full of hate Walk towards the light The lantern of passion will give you back your life Fight for yourself, or fight for nothing! Fight for nothing and fight for everything Your oppinion becomes obsolete Your cause has become to promote yourself And nothing else You can see me but can you see yourself? Let the lantern of passion lead the way Let the lantern of passion lead the way For yourself or for everything? So how can you tell us how to act when you don’t know who you are? Die! |

You hover above and I can do nothing but stare As your greedy black eyes search and glare The skies turn grey and then you will come Black scavengers of the night I loathe you with my entire strawfilled heart You have come only to pick a fight You grusome creatures are the only company I have To you I am a place to sit, while you ignore my wrath The loneliest scarecrow in the world Proud but useless you are The loneliest scarecrow in the world Crows, pick me apart! So someone will fix me again I am nothing to you, lonely scarecrow, but I have feelings too It is funny how humans are very much like me, are you like me? I am nothing to you but lonely scarecrow, but I have feelings too, do you? It is funny how humans are very much like me, are you like me? It is funny how humans are very much like me The loneliest scarecrow in the world Proud but useless you are The loneliest scarecrow in the world Crows, pick me apart! So someone will fix me again Pinned to a tree destined to live my eternal life With nothing left but crows by my side Slowly picking me apart, to bring me peace So you’ll fix me, human contact brings me relief And after I’ve been fixed I will hang here with them Waiting for them to pick me apart so I can be fixed again So we live in a malevolent never ending game of sin I need the creatures in order for my life cycle to end and begin |

The snake creeps around in your paradise, tasting the air, sly creature of Eden, cunning as the devil himself. It watches you in your happy place, pushing you around a bit, there by your side at your best moments when they turn to your worst When it turns your best into your worst From the beginning there was a snake Chewing on your conscience from within But were you really not aware that all along it was your own private sin? It watches you in your happy place, pushing you around a bit There by your side at your best moments when they turn to your worst It is so easy blaming everyone else for your choices But your priorities are your own It was so hard to consider our choices But in the end our priorities are our own Nobody is perfect, even Adam and Eve were fooled by the snake in you Slithering, deceiving, denying yourself and everyone else the truth I am sorry that your winning streak didn’t last But it was you who threw it away The stakes were high and no one thought You would be the one to betray You blinded yourself Friendship has been fading, you didn’t pay attention to their cries Did you not care or was it not worth a try? Maybe something else caught your eye Not realising the snake was you not I You were here in your happy place, puhing everyone around a bit There by your own side at your best moments And you turned them to your worst Nothing left to say now but goodbye |

1. | Third Act | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Once upon a time a man was cast into fields of evil pleasure The first act would trick him but become no kind of treasure In spite of what was behind the mirrors passion never left his side Regardless of the pain in his inner strife In the second act in the book of sand he met a man of mimes And thought ’I must try to make you mine’ And that is the story of metamorphosis of his kin He shed, and saw the second skin of harlequin And even though some have tried to destroy his path They found themselves drowning in their own bloodpath So... Lean back, enjoy the third act of Illnath Lean back, enjoy the third act Welcome to the theatre of madness Lean back, enjoy the third act of Illnath Lean back, enjoy the third act I searched for this my entire life And finally my time has come After this nothing happened for a while Waiting, searching, looking, for a new style He heard the angelic voices calling And his ancient legacy would no longer be stalling The third act in the theatre of madness began with change Everything came together thewe was no more pain The twistedness of the characters engaged Had in the end taken away the short-handedness and rage Welcome to the third act in the theatre of madness |

5. | Shorthanded | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
In order to be loved respect is needed To give yourself completely To another person knowing they can pick you apart Knowing that by a flick of their wrist they can break your heart Once broken it can never again be completed and What can take you years to build can be torn apart in a second of guilt It takes a lifetime to create, but love can be replaced with purebred hate In the blink of an eye you’ll be branded and both will end up shorthanded Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late A passion so strong it can turn doubt into stone You find once in a lifetime if you overcome The difficulties to give everything you have in order to live With a person who has the power to rule Your insides in whichever way he chooses You’ll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win can you feel the difference? You’ll betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Now you have to choose, take the risk or you loose The latter will leave you shorthanded And to take the risk can crush your bones Decisions cracking in the back of your mind, making you wanting to die You’ll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Corrupting the mind of another with false promises Not realizing you smother everything it was meant to be When your greatest fear is to end up shorthanded Be careful where your seed is planted You’ll betray! |

Will you be the one to walk straight into the sun? Or will you be the one to watch the rest of the world passing you by? I can never be the one to stand at home and watch The world go by, I would rather be here You can never see the world for what it is and when you die in the night No one will be there to pick up the pieces of what was never even there So when you call for me think twice, when I arrive I am your knife? Will you be the one to fly all the way to the moon? Or will you be the one to never feel wind underneath your crooked wings? I can never be the one to stand at home and watch The world go by, I would rather be here After you have seen my face there will be nothing left of but a shade After you have seen my face there will be nothing left of but a shade of me You can never see the world for what it is and when you die in the night No one will be there to pick up the pieces of what was never even there So when you call for me think twice, when I arrive I am your knife? |

Once there was a man with a wooden leg He had a knack for rum he kept it in a keg His ship had pirates not many but a few With nothing but the seven seas in their view After work they would have a fight Just like they would on any other night If there were no one else there to beat They would use each other as meat Rum greed, mutiny That’s all a pirate needs Rum, greed, mutiny Captain of the seven seas The journey for the man with the wooden leg Took him past people that would scream and beg For their lives though they never stand a chance Against this man with a parrot that can dance He has seen all wonders of the world He has slain all the monsters in the world He has seen the entire world with one eye He is the man that doesn’t know how to smile If you desire to be like the captain of this tale Fight all you can And drink rum every day Rum, greed, mutiny That’s all a pirate needs Rum, greed, mutiny Captain of the seven sea Fight all you can And drink rum every day |

Plug in and join the scene Forget what controls me Just be here in this wave of electricity This is it – It sets me free there is no pain The smile on my face has set me free again So kick back grab a beer and feel the wall of noise And let yourself fall into a moment of joy Have you ever felt the wave of sound move right through you? Have you ever felt like the sound of your soul was unleashed upon the world? This is it! The air is thick The string roaring towards the end of the world The beat sending my head into a cosmic twirl Join the wave and drink to this The air is thick the rhythm of the world sounds like this Plug in and join the scene Forget what controls me Just be here in this wave ща this machinegun beat Take a breath Let it in surrender all you have left Of your sanity, leave everything and reflect On this moment you’re in The sound can be so fulfilling This is so fulfilling Have you ever felt the wave of sound move right through you? Have you ever felt like the sound of your soul was unleashed upon the world? This is it! |

This is the tale of death Waiting to steal your last very precious breath Have you ever seen the shade of you? When you look at you do you see me too? Have you ever seen the shade of me? What did you see? A thousand shades of me Four shades entwined to be You can never escape the need To speak my name Each and every one wear different shades Take yours off and feel the sting of my blade Be true to all beauty or beast We all feast at the table, it has the shape of me My shade is made of moonbeams and silence Of life and of a million breaths Of sunlight and four shades of death Of life and a million breaths Have you ever seen the shade of me? What did you see? A Thousand shades of me Four shades entwined to be You can never escape the need To speak my name I am the beast you must see Your fears will end up feeding me You can never escape the need To speak my name Quattuor umbras me |

If there is a god we are its creation This god is so much more evil than you thought It created man to be amused to celebrate deception This god is so much more evil than you thought My satisfaction comes from your cries of agony They say I’m insane but I love my tragedy Your god is ambivalent and cruel He created all this misery you fool Take a step back and consider the gravity Of our little grasp on everything that could be You are not my god – I despise all you are You are not my god – Your god is a fraud We might be nothing but a trace element of life Time consumes us in the blink of an eye The endless void we call the universe Is closer to god than your treacherous words My satisfaction comes from your cries of agony They say I’m insane but I love my tragedy You are not my god – I despise all you are You are not my god – Your god is a fraud This is my religion Dedicationem et fortitudo Anima et voluntas Step into my world – This is the sound of my religion Step into my church – These are the words of my creed Dedication and strength – Soul and will My satisfaction comes from your cries of agony They say I’m insane but I’m loving my tragedy I love this tragedy I love my tragedy |

See the devil walking in the sun coming straight towards you How does he make the decisions he makes? He too has someone to turn to Did you see me on his shoulder?

So feel the burn – it’s on me you don’t have to pay me back after all By now I think I owe you one for the years of shit you put me through I hate you with all my guts and I ate yours for lunch they were bitter as me And still the taste of them were sweet as sweet as anything can ever fucking bum So when you burn You are welcome to blame it on me Your hate is what makes you bleed And what makes me breathe So here’s a challenge For your shitty mind How it makes me smile The freak in me Has been unleashed See the devil walking in the sun coming straight towards you How does he make the decisions he makes? He too has someone to turn to Did you see me on his shoulder?

So as he feels the knife she holds against his throat His sweat breaks out, he’s cold The voice is a whisper from beyond Angelic voices calling out to her in promise She cuts his face Demanding prayers Sinful forever Now wrath is here From the time When she loveth Comes a burning pain Deep inside But now as the knife it searches deeper He cries out from the pain The men of her life forever sinful And now she cleans the world of one more evil sinner Live in pain No more for her Weeding out the weak Is her ugly task The voice is a whisper from beyond Angelic voices calling out to her in promise And now the time For his departure Has court with him And death must come Slit his throat The knife is cleaned of his blood She leaves the body dead Going out to find another male Deserving of her callous hate for being wrongful |

Deep I dig to discover the truth Deep inside where secrets hide I hunt the hierarchy’s highest heroes To hurt where vulnerability lies Roses burning on a roaring ore Of secret desires, hate and admirance Within your soul, your mind and core And leave you torn like an open sore Without the use of violence ...Unless, of course, I have the chance Now you’ll see, now you’ll find, now you’ll recognize me Caught in my grasp as you gasp to try and feel the air Now you’ll see, now you’ll find how my ways work You can try what you can to seek to find the answer here Society’s wars means little to me, I have my pleasures, I have my affairs My own agendas are impossible to see Before you find yourself exposed in my lair I sting and stain your insane soul, I sting where it is fatal You won’t feel a thing at all Unless you cause my house of cards to fall... Try and find me You’ll find yourself lost in my maze Try and get free But I don’t think you’ll find the way Now you’ll see, now you’ll find, now you’ll recognize me You’re caught in my grasp as you gasp to feel the air Now you’ll see, now you’ll find how my ways work You can try what you can to seek to find the answer here (Solo) Step not close to me, because I may bite As soon as you’re stepping into my sight No use to run or to try for flight If I’ve seen you and feel you’re the right Jigsaw-puzzle-piece I need To fulfill my ongoing deed Of spreading my little, infectious line Of immortal, blood feeding breed Try and run now Because you don’t know the power of the blood bond You can’t hide how Ever hard you try to find a haven safe enough to sleep You can’t hear me Before I sneak up next to your resting-place Nor can you see me Before you look into my yellow eyes and Feel your hope vanish in the air And my bite sinking into your neck |

The mirrors, the mirrors That hides the hideous Me, the others Banned and forbidden From of your world Alone and cold Watching in silence So close, still aeons away… Touch the surface, cold and smooth You see me as I watch you… When you move, I move too, But is this you or me who moves? Who are you and who’s the reflection? Crush a crack, feel the connection I am you and we will win. Crush the mirror. Let me in! A little crack is all it takes. Drop the mirror, let it fall Because every time you smash a mirror, I steal a little piece of your soul The mirrors, the mirrors That are between us Me and you Separated, delirious You: beholder, Seeing. We Are watching, observing You still when you are not Touch the surface, cold and smooth You see me as I touch you... The borderline between me and you Is a vast prison for both of us two And you know what you must do To get us out of this celestial’s zoo (Solo) Crush it, crack it, smash it to pieces Of your sick, pathetic world Little fragments of yourself and me. Flickering, see it twirl! Destroy the pure, transparent shroud Don’t listen to your doubts Let it break, smash it now Let me in! Let me out! The mirrors, the mirrors / are locked like doors Me, alone / behind what’s between us Hidden, unseen / admired and adored Aware, unknown / brinked with mistrust Watch the mirror, broken and scarred Seeing me as who you are Your eyes are mine, and I look at your hand... ...and I see blood |

At the brink of Hell an island swims in lakes of fire by the darkened plains Deserted and dead it declares its place By spewing it’s magma like blood from its veins and covering the island In a black, poisonous haze This was the first spot where the angel Lucifer set his foot And claimed and declared this view as his home He came from the north, and alone was he not But joined by the followers from the roads he had roamed Here he set his haven. Here where angels die Here he baptise the newcomers in fire. On the Devil’s own Sinai. (Female) "Sinai roars as your frail brittle bones viciously torn, mutilated and scorched. Bleeding lava pulsating like blood, ’neath your skin as it withers and burns" Still the damned gather here to hail Amidst burning smoke beneath black skies Hellhounds bark at the northern pale view... This is the common abyss for all alike Where the red, melted stone fl ow a scorching river Into the day in north, and in south: the night. And here (Here you are) on the outstretching fields (On Elysium grounds) Far away (Far away from life). God (God) is out of reach Here they gather to spit and curse and bark From the south of heaven where angels are told Not to approach nor to look nor to set foot Where the truth of Armageddon will unfold Here they sacrifice the captured saints . Here is where the torture awaits Here is where you abandon your faith. On the Devil’s own Sinai... They wait and wail in ghastly pain While digging deep inside, insane. Inflict a wound you heal in vain As blood pours black from pierced veins They crush and cut, the dark stone stained A ribcage opens, a hole that frames A soul unstained and struggling sane Beneath the burning rain :/ ...cast into the fields of evil pleasure. Discovering the abyss’ deepest hidden treasure Bending borders of emotional measure Cast far into the fields of evil pleasure... (Solo) It’s always been there, and forever it will Stay untouched by the tooth of time Standing with majestic intimidation Bat-winged creatures surrounding its peak, High above Hell they all fly Forever screaming in demonic celebration And here (Here you are) on the outstretching fields (On Elysium grounds) Cast into the fields (Cast into the fields) of evil pleasure Forever (Forever) awaiting only to (die) |

Whispered words beneath the floating autumn leaves Flying softly on the southern breeze Fragments of light between the branches and trees I wish I would stay here forever The sun is sinking behind mountains of old Brushing faintly clouds of red and gold Night-time’s flinging a vast veil of velvet across fields and forest Trespassing the havens of daylight’s temporary borders. I knew my game could gain me but grief, the fairy tale was on though brief Trespassing the havens of secrecy’s temporary borders. Scratching the surface of times seemingly forgotten Of you who once were mine betrothen Digging ’neath layers of emotions now rotten I feel myself slip away Nostalgic entertainment tingled by the past You were the one to be mine at last But now my memory’s ever fading so fast Keeping emotions at bay Here I sit, and memories unfold My feelings are hollow, I’m feeling so old (Female) "I feel it fade away and cry tears in solitude" Trespassing the havens of night-time’s temporary borders As shadows collapse in the mating of day and night, crows are circling in ominous flight Trespassing the havens of my own temporary borders (temporary borders) (Solo) I tried… I tried hard to believe Thinking of us has left me but grief I cannot look ahead, the past is all I see Moments together, but time’s a thief Shadows recurring from times long since passed Our time and now in a perfect contrast (Female) "As I see you sitting by my grave I feel your presence, but can’t say a word Your heart and love, patient and brave But my soul is too late for you to save" I am probably a fool still thinking of you Night after night… There’s not much else I can do For neither myself nor you Maybe I should leave and never come back to this place… But I know too surely that I’m only fooling myself I’m only fooling myself |

5. | The Creator’s Biggest Pride | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
The sun sets at last, sliding slowly and silently down ’Low the horizon in the west, where a small house lies… The puppet-man is ending his workday, as the starlight peak through the clouds He’s worked all day and says goodnight to his dolls before he close the door He lives alone in this house, and it’s his home and a way of living Though he thought he knew all the secrets of his house, there’s more… ’Cause tonight… the puppets are roaming the room In spite… of being creatures of iron and wood They live as well as you and I Though driven by other forces inside And tonight the creator’s biggest pride Will make his way through the door and charge to take the puppet-man’s life Now the doll runs through the living-room And he’s hiding in the dimly faded gloom Now he’s approaching the bed And won’t leave until the body is dead But the creator awakes before the doll can fulfill the task And he’s paralyzed in amazement as he sees his hand-made mask Of the horrifying devil he made Once so many years ago And he cannot even scream as the knife Rips through his throat He’ll never again be put back on that shelf "Kill the flesh! Kill the flesh!" screaming to himself The doll is standing above the puppet-maker’s corpse The devil-mask covered in blood and gore Silently standing, looking down With the dripping knife still in his hand Now he turns and he sees the door He’s tasted blood and is thirsty for more The rain is cleansing his mask as he runs through the night alone He’s shaking in tension as he’s heading for the town. (Solo) ’Cause tonight… the puppets are killing in town And the villagers are lying in bloodstained nighting-gowns And now as they all have become alive They are immortal and cannot die And tonight the creator’s biggest pride Will run into the world and try to take mortal men’s life He’s hunting at night. Watch out for open windows He’s hunting at night. Perhaps you should stay inside? He’s hunting at night |

Bring on pain and suffering The answer for crimes Plead as much you can You liar, you fucking liar Pools of black eternity Sweeping down on brightly burning fires Bring down the witching hour From earth to ashes we all shall fall Free men, shall come as the unwanted Forcing the old ones to leave in vain At last denial bringing justice Cruel fate, they are forever slain |

8. | By the Hands of Violent Winter | 05:40 | Show lyrics |
By the hands of violent winter, his fate was sealed Crawling on the icy slopes with limbs frozen cold Memories of untold torture, in his mind Waking from the endless slumber leaving him numb Creeping worms they eat his mind Feelings blind this clouded time They took his soul, so they could find The truth Feeling hate for usurpers gone mad Reaching in for the power he had Wanting more than he could give But they would never falter In his mind only memories of hate Planted there by the monger’s of fate Reaching out for sanity But hope is ever fading Looking for the answer Why did they do this to me? Leaving me deserted I never asked for this hell Reaching out for fires burning, in his eyes Hope is still a trusty friend but fires burn low Snow keeps falling all around him, as he screams Seemingly the only answer is from the void Defeated and forsaken, he lies in fields of snow Only sign of life his eyes, in panic seeking solace Sun, rising high Bringing, warmth and energy again Waking up from a steady state Of suspended animation Blinded by these rays of light Hailing from the sky Senses now return to him Tribulations feeling dim Now a sordid memory Impeding doom approaching As he run, try to shake off the vice No one hearing his desperate cries The usurpers are hunting him Hounds barking and wolves closing in His escape was a futile attempt He is hunted by common consent Now returned to the bleak white cell I hope that dying is the end of this hell (Solo) Looking for the answer Why are they doing this? What is it I have done? To deserve this living hell By the violent hands of winter, his fate is sealed Dying by the hands of strangers leaving him cold Memories of untold torture still in his mind Never more awakening, this time it’s the end Defeated and forsaken, his peers would not let go The trial was an endless one, and death did not yet show Come, reap my life Now, it’s the time of my departure Afore of him a shadow stands It’s glowing with eternal might "I am one of many names And one of them is bringer of light" |

Frozen constellations, now we are, Forever trapped by illusions of fate Arising from the ashes of fires, Burning low in the shadows of hate You and I, we are blinded by, Hatred flowing from years of denial As we cry, forever asking why, The blind is following others in vain Scorn these jubilations, by blinded ones, They are a picture of bruteness and pain Mourned by bygone years of exclusion, Are forever the loss of our sin Cursed, by shame and suffering Our lives are but a memory of reason Now it’s time Time for us to come crashing, Down the broadening lanes of life Trailing froth and illusion, Showering others in the truth of their condemning lies You and they, shall forever pray, The common wish for a leader of man Now and then, changed forever when The old and powerful, slain was by man Flowing tears, showing the world All the pain and the fears The old is here, and this time There’ll be no one spared Frozen constellations, now you are Forever trapped by delusions of pain Real life breaks again bringing foolishness You never know what tomorrow will bring |

Leaving me deserted I never asked for this hell Reaching out for fires burning, in his eyes Hope is still a trusty friend but fires burn low Snow keeps falling all around him, as he screams Seemingly the only answer is from the void Defeated and forsaken, he lies in fields of snow Only sign of life his eyes, in panic seeking solace Sun, rising high Bringing, warmth and energy again Waking up from a steady state Of suspended animation Blinded by these rays of light Hailing from the sky Senses now return to him Tribulations feeling dim Now a sordid memory Impeding doom approaching As he run, try to shake off the vice No one hearing his desperate cries The usurpers are hunting him Hounds barking and wolves closing in His escape was a futile attempt He is hunted by common consent Now returned to the bleak white cell I hope that dying is the end of this hell (Solo) Looking for the answer Why are they doing this? What is it I have done? To deserve this living hell By the violent hands of winter, his fate is sealed Dying by the hands of strangers leaving him cold Memories of untold torture still in his mind Never more awakening, this time it’s the end Defeated and forsaken, his peers would not let go The trial was an endless one, and death did not yet show Come, reap my life Now, it’s the time of my departure Afore of him a shadow stands It’s glowing with eternal might "I am one of many names And one of them is bringer of light" |

Frozen constellations, now we are, Forever trapped by illusions of fate Arising from the ashes of fires, Burning low in the shadows of hate You and I, we are blinded by, Hatred flowing from years of denial As we cry, forever asking why, The blind is following others in vain Scorn these jubilations, by blinded ones, They are a picture of bruteness and pain Mourned by bygone years of exclusion, Are forever the loss of our sin Cursed, by shame and suffering Our lives are but a memory of reason Now it’s time Time for us to come crashing, Down the broadening lanes of life Trailing froth and illusion, Showering others in the truth of their condemning lies You and they, shall forever pray, The common wish for a leader of man Now and then, changed forever when The old and powerful, slain was by man Flowing tears, showing the world All the pain and the fears The old is here, and this time There’ll be no one spared Frozen constellations, now you are Forever trapped by delusions of pain Real life breaks again bringing foolishness You never know what tomorrow will bring |

1. | Zetite | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Deep I dig to discover the truth Deep inside where secrets hide I hunt the hierarchy’s highest heroes To hurt where vulnerability lies Roses burning on a roaring ore Of secret desires, hate and admirance Within your soul, your mind and core And leave you torn like an open sore Without the use of violence ...Unless, of course, I have the chance Now you’ll see, now you’ll find, now you’ll recognize me Caught in my grasp as you gasp to try and feel the air Now you’ll see, now you’ll find how my ways work You can try what you can to seek to find the answer here Society’s wars means little to me, I have my pleasures, I have my affairs My own agendas are impossible to see Before you find yourself exposed in my lair I sting and stain your insane soul, I sting where it is fatal You won’t feel a thing at all Unless you cause my house of cards to fall... Try and find me You’ll find yourself lost in my maze Try and get free But I don’t think you’ll find the way Now you’ll see, now you’ll find, now you’ll recognize me You’re caught in my grasp as you gasp to feel the air Now you’ll see, now you’ll find how my ways work You can try what you can to seek to find the answer here (Solo) Step not close to me, because I may bite As soon as you’re stepping into my sight No use to run or to try for flight If I’ve seen you and feel you’re the right Jigsaw-puzzle-piece I need To fulfill my ongoing deed Of spreading my little, infectious line Of immortal, blood feeding breed Try and run now Because you don’t know the power of the blood bond You can’t hide how Ever hard you try to find a haven safe enough to sleep You can’t hear me Before I sneak up next to your resting-place Nor can you see me Before you look into my yellow eyes and Feel your hope vanish in the air And my bite sinking into your neck |

2. | Behind the Mirrors | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
The mirrors, the mirrors That hides the hideous Me, the others Banned and forbidden From of your world Alone and cold Watching in silence So close, still aeons away… Touch the surface, cold and smooth You see me as I watch you… When you move, I move too, But is this you or me who moves? Who are you and who’s the reflection? Crush a crack, feel the connection I am you and we will win. Crush the mirror. Let me in! A little crack is all it takes. Drop the mirror, let it fall Because every time you smash a mirror, I steal a little piece of your soul The mirrors, the mirrors That are between us Me and you Separated, delirious You: beholder, Seeing. We Are watching, observing You still when you are not Touch the surface, cold and smooth You see me as I touch you... The borderline between me and you Is a vast prison for both of us two And you know what you must do To get us out of this celestial’s zoo (Solo) Crush it, crack it, smash it to pieces Of your sick, pathetic world Little fragments of yourself and me. Flickering, see it twirl! Destroy the pure, transparent shroud Don’t listen to your doubts Let it break, smash it now Let me in! Let me out! The mirrors, the mirrors / are locked like doors Me, alone / behind what’s between us Hidden, unseen / admired and adored Aware, unknown / brinked with mistrust Watch the mirror, broken and scarred Seeing me as who you are Your eyes are mine, and I look at your hand... ...and I see blood |

At the brink of Hell an island swims in lakes of fire by the darkened plains Deserted and dead it declares its place By spewing it’s magma like blood from its veins and covering the island In a black, poisonous haze This was the first spot where the angel Lucifer set his foot And claimed and declared this view as his home He came from the north, and alone was he not But joined by the followers from the roads he had roamed Here he set his haven. Here where angels die Here he baptise the newcomers in fire. On the Devil’s own Sinai. (Female) "Sinai roars as your frail brittle bones viciously torn, mutilated and scorched. Bleeding lava pulsating like blood, ’neath your skin as it withers and burns" Still the damned gather here to hail Amidst burning smoke beneath black skies Hellhounds bark at the northern pale view... This is the common abyss for all alike Where the red, melted stone fl ow a scorching river Into the day in north, and in south: the night. And here (Here you are) on the outstretching fields (On Elysium grounds) Far away (Far away from life). God (God) is out of reach Here they gather to spit and curse and bark From the south of heaven where angels are told Not to approach nor to look nor to set foot Where the truth of Armageddon will unfold Here they sacrifice the captured saints . Here is where the torture awaits Here is where you abandon your faith. On the Devil’s own Sinai... They wait and wail in ghastly pain While digging deep inside, insane. Inflict a wound you heal in vain As blood pours black from pierced veins They crush and cut, the dark stone stained A ribcage opens, a hole that frames A soul unstained and struggling sane Beneath the burning rain :/ ...cast into the fields of evil pleasure. Discovering the abyss’ deepest hidden treasure Bending borders of emotional measure Cast far into the fields of evil pleasure... (Solo) It’s always been there, and forever it will Stay untouched by the tooth of time Standing with majestic intimidation Bat-winged creatures surrounding its peak, High above Hell they all fly Forever screaming in demonic celebration And here (Here you are) on the outstretching fields (On Elysium grounds) Cast into the fields (Cast into the fields) of evil pleasure Forever (Forever) awaiting only to (die) |

4. | Temporary Borders | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Whispered words beneath the floating autumn leaves Flying softly on the southern breeze Fragments of light between the branches and trees I wish I would stay here forever The sun is sinking behind mountains of old Brushing faintly clouds of red and gold Night-time’s flinging a vast veil of velvet across fields and forest Trespassing the havens of daylight’s temporary borders. I knew my game could gain me but grief, the fairy tale was on though brief Trespassing the havens of secrecy’s temporary borders. Scratching the surface of times seemingly forgotten Of you who once were mine betrothen Digging ’neath layers of emotions now rotten I feel myself slip away Nostalgic entertainment tingled by the past You were the one to be mine at last But now my memory’s ever fading so fast Keeping emotions at bay Here I sit, and memories unfold My feelings are hollow, I’m feeling so old (Female) "I feel it fade away and cry tears in solitude" Trespassing the havens of night-time’s temporary borders As shadows collapse in the mating of day and night, crows are circling in ominous flight Trespassing the havens of my own temporary borders (temporary borders) (Solo) I tried… I tried hard to believe Thinking of us has left me but grief I cannot look ahead, the past is all I see Moments together, but time’s a thief Shadows recurring from times long since passed Our time and now in a perfect contrast (Female) "As I see you sitting by my grave I feel your presence, but can’t say a word Your heart and love, patient and brave But my soul is too late for you to save" I am probably a fool still thinking of you Night after night… There’s not much else I can do For neither myself nor you Maybe I should leave and never come back to this place… But I know too surely that I’m only fooling myself I’m only fooling myself |

5. | The Creator’s Biggest Pride | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
The sun sets at last, sliding slowly and silently down ’Low the horizon in the west, where a small house lies… The puppet-man is ending his workday, as the starlight peak through the clouds He’s worked all day and says goodnight to his dolls before he close the door He lives alone in this house, and it’s his home and a way of living Though he thought he knew all the secrets of his house, there’s more… ’Cause tonight… the puppets are roaming the room In spite… of being creatures of iron and wood They live as well as you and I Though driven by other forces inside And tonight the creator’s biggest pride Will make his way through the door and charge to take the puppet-man’s life Now the doll runs through the living-room And he’s hiding in the dimly faded gloom Now he’s approaching the bed And won’t leave until the body is dead But the creator awakes before the doll can fulfill the task And he’s paralyzed in amazement as he sees his hand-made mask Of the horrifying devil he made Once so many years ago And he cannot even scream as the knife Rips through his throat He’ll never again be put back on that shelf "Kill the flesh! Kill the flesh!" screaming to himself The doll is standing above the puppet-maker’s corpse The devil-mask covered in blood and gore Silently standing, looking down With the dripping knife still in his hand Now he turns and he sees the door He’s tasted blood and is thirsty for more The rain is cleansing his mask as he runs through the night alone He’s shaking in tension as he’s heading for the town. (Solo) ’Cause tonight… the puppets are killing in town And the villagers are lying in bloodstained nighting-gowns And now as they all have become alive They are immortal and cannot die And tonight the creator’s biggest pride Will run into the world and try to take mortal men’s life He’s hunting at night. Watch out for open windows He’s hunting at night. Perhaps you should stay inside? He’s hunting at night |

Bring on pain and suffering The answer for crimes Plead as much you can You liar, you fucking liar Pools of black eternity Sweeping down on brightly burning fires Bring down the witching hour From earth to ashes we all shall fall Free men, shall come as the unwanted Forcing the old ones to leave in vain At last denial bringing justice Cruel fate, they are forever slain |

Leaving me deserted I never asked for this hell Reaching out for fires burning, in his eyes Hope is still a trusty friend but fires burn low Snow keeps falling all around him, as he screams Seemingly the only answer is from the void Defeated and forsaken, he lies in fields of snow Only sign of life his eyes, in panic seeking solace Sun, rising high Bringing, warmth and energy again Waking up from a steady state Of suspended animation Blinded by these rays of light Hailing from the sky Senses now return to him Tribulations feeling dim Now a sordid memory Impeding doom approaching As he run, try to shake off the vice No one hearing his desperate cries The usurpers are hunting him Hounds barking and wolves closing in His escape was a futile attempt He is hunted by common consent Now returned to the bleak white cell I hope that dying is the end of this hell (Solo) Looking for the answer Why are they doing this? What is it I have done? To deserve this living hell By the violent hands of winter, his fate is sealed Dying by the hands of strangers leaving him cold Memories of untold torture still in his mind Never more awakening, this time it’s the end Defeated and forsaken, his peers would not let go The trial was an endless one, and death did not yet show Come, reap my life Now, it’s the time of my departure Afore of him a shadow stands It’s glowing with eternal might "I am one of many names And one of them is bringer of light" |

9. | Frozen Constellations | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Frozen constellations, now we are, Forever trapped by illusions of fate Arising from the ashes of fires, Burning low in the shadows of hate You and I, we are blinded by, Hatred flowing from years of denial As we cry, forever asking why, The blind is following others in vain Scorn these jubilations, by blinded ones, They are a picture of bruteness and pain Mourned by bygone years of exclusion, Are forever the loss of our sin Cursed, by shame and suffering Our lives are but a memory of reason Now it’s time Time for us to come crashing, Down the broadening lanes of life Trailing froth and illusion, Showering others in the truth of their condemning lies You and they, shall forever pray, The common wish for a leader of man Now and then, changed forever when The old and powerful, slain was by man Flowing tears, showing the world All the pain and the fears The old is here, and this time There’ll be no one spared Frozen constellations, now you are Forever trapped by delusions of pain Real life breaks again bringing foolishness You never know what tomorrow will bring |

A granted wish for a demon’s kiss Drew lust for more and mental twists Across the simple minds of men And no one here was watching them As they broke into their certain doom By craving more that they deserved to So crowned and claimed by satan’s eye Is a book of truth that doesn’t speak lies Written words in well-inked shapes In demon-blood as he rapes The book of destiny Claimed by the damend who wants To stain his soul, but more can’t be For the one who seeks and will find me Sought by the fallen one Sought by the fallen one And I can never leave Forever bound in here An everlasting dream In an everlasting nightmare And even though I still Have my mortal soul to sell In here I’ve found My own personal hell Sought by the fallen one Recreating tortures down Inflicted deep by the foulest demons Children of the second son Sought by the fallen one Damnation for a battle one There’s nowhere left to hide my guilt And nowhere left to run My confessions were to grave That no living priest was brave enough To hear my spoken word be said Corrupted by my pain Slowly driving me insane With oblivion due, I’d rather be dead Seraphims sing their hymns in disgust!

5. | She the Plague | 04:56 | Show lyrics |
She sweeps the doorstep, a well-used broom Bring diseases and plague, the ultimate doom By witchcraft of trolls she casts her spells With curses from heaven and blessing from hell With the unholy rain and the northern breeze She curses the land with her broom-sweeps of disease While beasts obey her commanding word She sweeps mankind from the face of the earth A damp air surround what’s left A faint touch of decay A vast wreck yard is all that’s left Ruins of yesterday Cultural monuments scattered Broken, crushed, betrayed As the survivors rise and start again Trying to find a way Plague! The devil is amongst us Plague! Demise! Plague! Run and hide the youngsters Plague! Sacrifice! "I’ll kill you all as winter is coming and summer starts to crawl" She comes to town at the raven-dark night time When everyone lies restlessly inside Like a lonesome ghost she walks out there With red glowing eyes and pitch black hair Bubonic plague, we’re rotting alive We are all bleeding so deep inside Run to the forest, hide in there Let not this demon come you near, my dear! And all that’s left is ashes All that’s left is dust But we rise and live again Because we know we must And all that’s left is broken dreams All that’s left is death But we rise and live again Living with every breath |

The last days soon comes, the signs are shown In the blood washed streets of a manmade Babylon Feeding on everything our fathers left behind Abasing her grace since the beginning of time The rotten flesh of mother earth Pleads in sincere desperation her longing wish for Armageddon Deep inside a diabolical birth Prepare the grim invasion of the twisted demons soon unleashed "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall" Pulling at her blood stained sleeve Closing our eyes in disbelief A starless sky in purple shades Shine upon the landscape of am apocalyptical metropoolis It’s a vast wound in her face Decaying since the coming of man like god’s leprous kiss "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall" Feeding on everything our fathers left behind Abasing her grace since the beginning of time Gnawing at her empty breasts Tearing at her heartless chest Rip the veil and sacrecy away Expose the truth, her deepest secrets in the name of progress Bend the rules and break the chains Binding us to the only touchable and certain god or goddess "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call ...and feathers shall fall ...and feathers shall fall" |

The clockwork of time is no oonger divine Shattered glass will guide the way, the path that leads To judgement day Pale and unmoving like golems of ashes Away from the wind and the rain that slashes Their powerful limbs to dust Nothing left to loose, but no one left to trust The ornamented entrance, the gate of pearls The lack of maintenance hurts And shivering is your empty hand Pointing way to the promised land Nothing is there but sun and sand Nothing more than whenee we are banned The shivering hand is loosing it’s grip Promises lamenting from your lips As they’re falling brick by brick Falling brick by brick Fall! The clockwork of time is no oonger divine Shattered glass will guide the way, the path that leads To judgement day Stored in a space untouched by man Praying for deliverance like only gods can Do when they are alone No churches nor shrines to call "home" |

8. | Book of Sand | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
Descending rapidly down the spiral Not quite sure what I have embarked Thoughts don’t make any sense at all In the shifting, liquid dark The words my eyes read on the sheet Pull my gaze along the lines Devour facts my comprehension meet In the words, between and behind Pulling my fate along in the book of sand (what does it make to make out this enigma?) Secrets of eternity’s at hand (everything here is a reason to fear the book of sand) The paper crackles perfectly as I slowly turn the pages The letters once more greet the light, the first time now in ages A careful, calligraphic handwriting of a magus And I crawl deep into his knowledge’s pitch black mines Dig deep and read the breed of the deed! Dust swirl out of reach of my dim candle light Little fragments of ink and paper freed of fearless fright What word were you, my little one why fly into the night? A death, a tear, a philtre or poison flowing in the wine? To read and search so deep inside Behind, beyond, between the lines What wonders are there I shall learn Behind, beyond, between the words? Between the pages like sand... Time has slipped my memory for long I tumble past page fourteen hundred and seven In a reverie out of my control Wrapped in a world of lore and legends Suddenly page six hundred and eleven Flash across my wet and weary eyes The previous page is unfamiliar And there yet another secret hides Pulling my fate along in the book of sand (what does it make to make out this enigma?) Secrets of eternity’s at hand (everything here is a reason to fear the book of sand) Dig deep and read the breed of the deed! And I so close the book again, leave the words all rest To ascend before I dive too deep is always for the best Close the tome and the session, at least until the next And let my eyes unwillingly forget the text To read and search so deep inside Behind, beyond, between the lines What wonders are there I shall learn Behind, beyond, between the words? Between the pages like sand Time has slipped my memory for long... |

9. | Aqua Diabolicom | 05:05 | Show lyrics |
Children of the elements obey their fathers’ laws Worship the principles from which the manna falls. Distinguish between the outmost truth and false Catalysing divine riddles. Searching between realities on a holy mission Discovering the facts and fear the inquisition Trying to read beyond the noise and the fission Finding answers in the middle Searching, searching, searching the ultimate one Searching, searching, finding Aqua Diabolicum Processes developing to a stabilized state Time is expensive with everything at stake. Through science almighty, through science divine We bring nirvana to mankind. Spotting truth in elements Creative ways of genesis Achieving everlasting youth; death’s quasid nemesis Strange smells in the damp, warm corroded cave Where acids burn and people learn as the fires rave Beneath the boiling kettles ’tween where we stand so bold and brave curious as well as damned Creatures crawl in the deep dark corners of the chamber As we peek inside of mother Earth and try to understand her We find the disease, the reason then we find the cure -So eager as well as banned. [solo] Searching, searching, searching the ultimate one Searching, searching, finding Aqua Diabolicum Something is developed after centuries of seeking Something is shaped after centuries of beating. Opening doors in the labyrinth of time We brought eternal death to mankind To break the code of gold, a holy quest for the chosen ones We must stay secret, we must stay strong. In the deepest black where the quill slowly creeps across the ochre landscape of a paper sheet Symbols of facts are written by a steady hand like only a devoted and wise man can. In dim candle light they all are written letter that speak and seem demon-ridden living, telling little lives in sec ret, -are they truths or lies? |

A granted wish for a demon’s kiss Drew lust for more and mental twists Across the simple minds of men And no one here was watching them As they broke into their certain doom By craving more that they deserved to So crowned and claimed by satan’s eye Is a book of truth that doesn’t speak lies Written words in well-inked shapes In demon-blood as he rapes The book of destiny Claimed by the damend who wants To stain his soul, but more can’t be For the one who seeks and will find me Sought by the fallen one Sought by the fallen one And I can never leave Forever bound in here An everlasting dream In an everlasting nightmare And even though I still Have my mortal soul to sell In here I’ve found My own personal hell Sought by the fallen one Recreating tortures down Inflicted deep by the foulest demons Children of the second son Sought by the fallen one Damnation for a battle one There’s nowhere left to hide my guilt And nowhere left to run My confessions were to grave That no living priest was brave enough To hear my spoken word be said Corrupted by my pain Slowly driving me insane With oblivion due, I’d rather be dead Seraphims sing their hymns in disgust! "You cannot run from what isn’t hunting", he said "It cannot kill what was never meant to be dead" Seraphims sing their hymns in disgust! |

5. | She the Plague | 04:56 | Show lyrics |
She sweeps the doorstep, a well-used broom Bring diseases and plague, the ultimate doom By witchcraft of trolls she casts her spells With curses from heaven and blessing from hell With the unholy rain and the northern breeze She curses the land with her broom-sweeps of disease While beasts obey her commanding word She sweeps mankind from the face of the earth A damp air surround what’s left A faint touch of decay A vast wreck yard is all that’s left Ruins of yesterday Cultural monuments scattered Broken, crushed, betrayed As the survivors rise and start again Trying to find a way Plague! The devil is amongst us Plague! Demise! Plague! Run and hide the youngsters Plague! Sacrifice! "I’ll kill you all as winter is coming and summer starts to crawl" She comes to town at the raven-dark night time When everyone lies restlessly inside Like a lonesome ghost she walks out there With red glowing eyes and pitch black hair Bubonic plague, we’re rotting alive We are all bleeding so deep inside Run to the forest, hide in there Let not this demon come you near, my dear! And all that’s left is ashes All that’s left is dust But we rise and live again Because we know we must And all that’s left is broken dreams All that’s left is death But we rise and live again Living with every breath |

6. | Feathers Shall Fall | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
The last days soon comes, the signs are shown In the blood washed streets of a manmade Babylon Feeding on everything our fathers left behind Abasing her grace since the beginning of time The rotten flesh of mother earth Pleads in sincere desperation her longing wish for Armageddon Deep inside a diabolical birth Prepare the grim invasion of the twisted demons soon unleashed "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall" Pulling at her blood stained sleeve Closing our eyes in disbelief A starless sky in purple shades Shine upon the landscape of am apocalyptical metropoolis It’s a vast wound in her face Decaying since the coming of man like god’s leprous kiss "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall" Feeding on everything our fathers left behind Abasing her grace since the beginning of time Gnawing at her empty breasts Tearing at her heartless chest Rip the veil and sacrecy away Expose the truth, her deepest secrets in the name of progress Bend the rules and break the chains Binding us to the only touchable and certain god or goddess "The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call Angels walk the ground, no longer shall they be heaven-bound Thunder’s distant roar shall sound and feathers shall fall The worms shall seek the light, homeless children seek the night Their minds in loveless bright, and dying sirens shall call ...and feathers shall fall ...and feathers shall fall" |

7. | Clockwork of Time | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
I see no hope where hope should be A courtroom drama in major aspect Mortal laws for those who see Beyond extorted discipline and respect I see no hope where hope should be I see no seven, six nor three Faith has vanished, they are banished And gods fall furthers that you and me Fall! The clockwork of time is no oonger divine Shattered glass will guide the way, the path that leads To judgement day Pale and unmoving like golems of ashes Away from the wind and the rain that slashes Their powerful limbs to dust Nothing left to loose, but no one left to trust The ornamented entrance, the gate of pearls The lack of maintenance hurts And shivering is your empty hand Pointing way to the promised land Nothing is there but sun and sand Nothing more than whenee we are banned The shivering hand is loosing it’s grip Promises lamenting from your lips As they’re falling brick by brick Falling brick by brick Fall! The clockwork of time is no oonger divine Shattered glass will guide the way, the path that leads To judgement day Stored in a space untouched by man Praying for deliverance like only gods can Do when they are alone No churches nor shrines to call "home" |

8. | Book of Sand | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
Descending rapidly down the spiral Not quite sure what I have embarked Thoughts don’t make any sense at all In the shifting, liquid dark The words my eyes read on the sheet Pull my gaze along the lines Devour facts my comprehension meet In the words, between and behind Pulling my fate along in the book of sand (what does it make to make out this enigma?) Secrets of eternity’s at hand (everything here is a reason to fear the book of sand) The paper crackles perfectly as I slowly turn the pages The letters once more greet the light, the first time now in ages A careful, calligraphic handwriting of a magus And I crawl deep into his knowledge’s pitch black mines Dig deep and read the breed of the deed! Dust swirl out of reach of my dim candle light Little fragments of ink and paper freed of fearless fright What word were you, my little one why fly into the night? A death, a tear, a philtre or poison flowing in the wine? To read and search so deep inside Behind, beyond, between the lines What wonders are there I shall learn Behind, beyond, between the words? Between the pages like sand... Time has slipped my memory for long I tumble past page fourteen hundred and seven In a reverie out of my control Wrapped in a world of lore and legends Suddenly page six hundred and eleven Flash across my wet and weary eyes The previous page is unfamiliar And there yet another secret hides Pulling my fate along in the book of sand (what does it make to make out this enigma?) Secrets of eternity’s at hand (everything here is a reason to fear the book of sand) Dig deep and read the breed of the deed! And I so close the book again, leave the words all rest To ascend before I dive too deep is always for the best Close the tome and the session, at least until the next And let my eyes unwillingly forget the text To read and search so deep inside Behind, beyond, between the lines What wonders are there I shall learn Behind, beyond, between the words? Between the pages like sand Time has slipped my memory for long... |

9. | Aqua Diabolicom | 05:05 | Show lyrics |
Children of the elements obey their fathers’ laws Worship the principles from which the manna falls. Distinguish between the outmost truth and false Catalysing divine riddles. Searching between realities on a holy mission Discovering the facts and fear the inquisition Trying to read beyond the noise and the fission Finding answers in the middle Searching, searching, searching the ultimate one Searching, searching, finding Aqua Diabolicum Processes developing to a stabilized state Time is expensive with everything at stake. Through science almighty, through science divine We bring nirvana to mankind. Spotting truth in elements Creative ways of genesis Achieving everlasting youth; death’s quasid nemesis Strange smells in the damp, warm corroded cave Where acids burn and people learn as the fires rave Beneath the boiling kettles ’tween where we stand so bold and brave curious as well as damned Creatures crawl in the deep dark corners of the chamber As we peek inside of mother Earth and try to understand her We find the disease, the reason then we find the cure -So eager as well as banned. [solo] Searching, searching, searching the ultimate one Searching, searching, finding Aqua Diabolicum Something is developed after centuries of seeking Something is shaped after centuries of beating. Opening doors in the labyrinth of time We brought eternal death to mankind To break the code of gold, a holy quest for the chosen ones We must stay secret, we must stay strong. In the deepest black where the quill slowly creeps across the ochre landscape of a paper sheet Symbols of facts are written by a steady hand like only a devoted and wise man can. In dim candle light they all are written letter that speak and seem demon-ridden living, telling little lives in secret, -are they truths or lies? |

1. | And There Was Light | 04:59 | Show lyrics |
And there was light And the darkness that followed blinded my eyes The night made we trustworthy and hid all my lies I called the seventh of the eight and gave him my offer So cold were the feelings I bore inside after I’d lost her Sometimes I still can hear His voices calling, calling me from everywhere And now and then I feel my soul slowly slipping out of myself into his... Hell claws at my window amd makes me forget To tell her of the deal and the conditions I met and now It’s far too late to tell her what’s going on here Somehow I’m almost looking forward to when this is over "I felt my ghost cross over, and knew he was near And across the river I could see him standing there" And there was light And the blackness that followed blinded her eyes The night drew her to me and we met in the dark And this "why am I here?" where the words she said A kiss told her responsible for her being dead She cried in silence and I wiped away her tears She felt my cold hand amplifying her fear She knew where she was and cursed her beloved And all of a sudden it all was over... Sometimes I still can hear His voices calling, calling me from everywhere And now and then I feel my soul slowly slipping out of myself into his hell "I know he’s waiting there for me In his limbo between destination and reality" |

Your smile so dim, your eyes alive A gesture hides a vicious lie Your face so clean, but deep inside I know you’re hiding something A trace so faint, a chisel’s scar Carved piece by piece who you are His head held high, but deep inside I know you’re hiding something Pieta, you’re the one and only truly holy sculpture So now... sentenced by the divine tool I wheel he falls down A crack and crackle, a thin black sear Upon the surface pale and raw Frozen for now, neatly carved Deep in silence, clutching at straws I crush the face, the crumbling lines An expanding maze that seems alive Again alone, you’re face is gone Still I see no confession coming from Your soul, your core, your hand, your son Still I know you’re hiding something I sit and wait, then un-create My mind confused and filled with hate I marvel at our common fate Still I know you’re hiding something Pieta, you’re the one and only truly holy sculpture So now... sentenced by the divine tool I wheel he falls down Another crack upon the marble Disfigurement I don’t even enjoy I see it now, though in vain I see how perfect art is pain And as I make you dissolve I see the secret that I have destroyed |

1. | Third Act | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Once upon a time a man was cast into fields of evil pleasure The first act would trick him but become no kind of treasure In spite of what was behind the mirrors passion never left his side Regardless of the pain in his inner strife In the second act in the book of sand he met a man of mimes And thought ’I must try to make you mine’ And that is the story of metamorphosis of his kin He shed, and saw the second skin of harlequin And even though some have tried to destroy his path They found themselves drowning in their own bloodpath So... Lean back, enjoy the third act of Illnath Lean back, enjoy the third act Welcome to the theatre of madness Lean back, enjoy the third act of Illnath Lean back, enjoy the third act I searched for this my entire life And finally my time has come After this nothing happened for a while Waiting, searching, looking, for a new style He heard the angelic voices calling And his ancient legacy would no longer be stalling The third act in the theatre of madness began with change Everything came together thewe was no more pain The twistedness of the characters engaged Had in the end taken away the short-handedness and rage Welcome to the third act in the theatre of madness |

2. | Scarecrow | 04:51 | Show lyrics |
You hover above and I can do nothing but stare As your greedy black eyes search and glare The skies turn grey and then you will come Black scavengers of the night I loathe you with my entire strawfilled heart You have come only to pick a fight You grusome creatures are the only company I have To you I am a place to sit, while you ignore my wrath The loneliest scarecrow in the world Proud but useless you are The loneliest scarecrow in the world Crows, pick me apart! So someone will fix me again I am nothing to you, lonely scarecrow, but I have feelings too It is funny how humans are very much like me, are you like me? I am nothing to you but lonely scarecrow, but I have feelings too, do you? It is funny how humans are very much like me, are you like me? It is funny how humans are very much like me The loneliest scarecrow in the world Proud but useless you are The loneliest scarecrow in the world Crows, pick me apart! So someone will fix me again Pinned to a tree destined to live my eternal life With nothing left but crows by my side Slowly picking me apart, to bring me peace So you’ll fix me, human contact brings me relief And after I’ve been fixed I will hang here with them Waiting for them to pick me apart so I can be fixed again So we live in a malevolent never ending game of sin I need the creatures in order for my life cycle to end and begin |

3. | Lead the Way | 06:30 | Show lyrics |
You can see me but can you see yourself? Fight for freedom fight for war fight, doesn’t matter what you stand for Fight for nothing fight for fame, never knowing you put us to shame So pick your conscience up from the floor You betrayed it for so long, what are you fighting for? ...yourself or for everything? So how can you tell us how to act when you don’t know who you are? You can see me but can you see yourself? Let the lantern of passion lead the way Let the lantern of passion lead the way Fight for yourself, fight for your pride, do anything you can to deny Fight for the right to fight, fight, as long as you can do it in spite So pick you oppinionated mind apart And remember, once you had a heart Your heart is on fire Fighting for any cause you can blame for your own mistakes You lost your desire Now aware that the flames consumed you completely You are an empty shell full of hate Walk towards the light The lantern of passion will give you back your life Fight for yourself, or fight for nothing! Fight for nothing and fight for everything Your oppinion becomes obsolete Your cause has become to promote yourself And nothing else You can see me but can you see yourself? Let the lantern of passion lead the way Let the lantern of passion lead the way For yourself or for everything? So how can you tell us how to act when you don’t know who you are? Die! |

4. | Snake of Eden | 03:26 | Show lyrics |
The snake creeps around in your paradise, tasting the air, sly creature of Eden, cunning as the devil himself. It watches you in your happy place, pushing you around a bit, there by your side at your best moments when they turn to your worst When it turns your best into your worst From the beginning there was a snake Chewing on your conscience from within But were you really not aware that all along it was your own private sin? It watches you in your happy place, pushing you around a bit There by your side at your best moments when they turn to your worst It is so easy blaming everyone else for your choices But your priorities are your own It was so hard to consider our choices But in the end our priorities are our own Nobody is perfect, even Adam and Eve were fooled by the snake in you Slithering, deceiving, denying yourself and everyone else the truth I am sorry that your winning streak didn’t last But it was you who threw it away The stakes were high and no one thought You would be the one to betray You blinded yourself Friendship has been fading, you didn’t pay attention to their cries Did you not care or was it not worth a try? Maybe something else caught your eye Not realising the snake was you not I You were here in your happy place, puhing everyone around a bit There by your own side at your best moments And you turned them to your worst Nothing left to say now but goodbye |

5. | Shorthanded | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
In order to be loved respect is needed To give yourself completely To another person knowing they can pick you apart Knowing that by a flick of their wrist they can break your heart Once broken it can never again be completed and What can take you years to build can be torn apart in a second of guilt It takes a lifetime to create, but love can be replaced with purebred hate In the blink of an eye you’ll be branded and both will end up shorthanded Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late A passion so strong it can turn doubt into stone You find once in a lifetime if you overcome The difficulties to give everything you have in order to live With a person who has the power to rule Your insides in whichever way he chooses You’ll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win can you feel the difference? You’ll betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Now you have to choose, take the risk or you loose The latter will leave you shorthanded And to take the risk can crush your bones Decisions cracking in the back of your mind, making you wanting to die You’ll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Corrupting the mind of another with false promises Not realizing you smother everything it was meant to be When your greatest fear is to end up shorthanded Be careful where your seed is planted You’ll betray! |

6. | Spring Will Come | 05:20 | Show lyrics |
Spring Will Come After the winter has ravaged your bones Life Will Come Everything will die, but it will return Frozen rivers will thaw and reflect the sun back into space The brutal winds of the north will settle down its elevated pace But before spring comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone And before warmth comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has ravaged your bones Life Will Come Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has scattered your moans Life Will Come Blizzards of chaotic tyranny will be tamed by the summer breeze You will see the world and let go of your soul’s dreadful disease But before spring comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone See the fields, watch them sway ayaw See the sun, feel it on your skin Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has ravaged your bones Life Will Come Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has scattered your moans Life Will Come The forrest will transform and once again provide for you The land will be forgiving and you will pull through After summer comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone See the fields, watch them sway ayaw See the sun, feel it on your skin |

7. | Tree of Life and Death | 05:34 | Show lyrics |
You can see whatever you want to see You can believe whatever you want to believe The world will keep on changing and so will we So suck it up, dry your eyes and wake up! You want to see us fail? Not today! Some will die, some will live, I fought for this privilege! Some will fail, some will shine, it’s up to you to live your life! Sometimes things end, sometimes you bend Things will change, tree of life Sometimes things end, take your last breath Take a look at the tree of life and death Some will do their best to be static and detest Anything new, or not created by them Unfortunately for them, nothing can mend You are blinded by your own insecurities So afraid to stand up in case someone will see We all have flaws and then you’ll turn to stone I love my flaws they are my own! You want to see us fail? Not today! Some will die, some will live, I fought for this privilege! Some will fail, some will shine, it’s up to you to live your life! Sometimes things end, sometimes you bend Things will change, tree of life Sometimes things end, take your last breath Take a look at the tree of life and death |

8. | Fall of Giants | 06:05 | Show lyrics |
We have all secretly watched them create history We have all enthusiastically enjoyed every masterpiece They have helped mold me into who I am They have changed my view of what can be done I had no clue such fathomless things could be created by man And I am crushed to know their time will come We will live to see the giants fall It doesn’t matter if you like them or not They have helped create the scene that you love so much But be aware it is corrupted, everyone wants to be on top Scavengers await your spot! You can always sell your soul if your talents do not suffice Money can solve your problems, drink their blood as lice No integrity is left for sale, put on your suit and smile But know inside that some of us see right through your lies! So to those of you who paved the way I salute you You have helped make my dreams come true The world has changed because of you This, no one else has the power to do! So to those of you who paved the way I salute you We stare at you and admire your guts and glory And every one of us wish we could live your story We will live to see the giants fall To those of you who paved the way I salute you |

9. | Vampiria | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
Skin as pale as grave More thirsty now than ever before The hatred for each other fuels your lust All you live for is blood no matter the cost You will drain their lives And still for blood you thrive Nothing can stop you nothing can kill This pinnacle creature of the night Welcome to my world - Vampiria I live for the thrill of the kill - Vampiria To live or love? My home - Vampiria I bid you to enter my world - Vampiria Hunting in the night, take a breath make a sigh Your victim has no clue what waits ahead Eternal life and crushing hunger For all eternity you will be no longer Fangs as sharp as razorblades More greedy now than ever before The cold and bitter pleasure will rage And kill the thrill of the kill Welcome to my world - Vampiria I live for the thrill of the kill - Vampiria To live or love? My home - Vampiria I bid you to enter my world - Vampiria The only thing to fear is a wooden stake In your heart so make no mistake! |

10. | Kingship Incarnate | 04:28 | Show lyrics |
Cracking the whip in the burning sun Breaking limbs and crushing skulls In desperate need of victory Denying to the bone, this is not your throne! Your empire is falling Crumbling at your feet Your empire is falling Into the righteous hands of your flawless fathers other son Letting your anger out on them - slaves shall serve! Wanting to rule more than anything else Meticulously punishing their every move Willing to accept anything but the truth The city is burning feel the wrath of Ra Pay for your betrayal you have come too far You rip them up, tear them apart, leave them for dead and rot in hell The ghosts of those you killed await your presence Savage and enraged in the underworld they dwell Your mind has betrayed you feel the wrath of Ra Plotting against your own blood you have come too far You rip them up, tear them apart, leave them for dead and rot in hell The ghosts of those you killed await your presence Savage and enraged in the underworld they dwell In the end no one will hear your final call In the end you will be alone when you fall As corrupt as Seth, Osiris will prevail As corrupt sa your mind I will prevail Corrupting the minds of those closest to you Wanting for your dreams of power to come true The snake of desperation has poisoned you Watching him, in war and peace, he’s better than you! Your empire is falling Crumbling at your feet Your empire is falling Into the righteous hands of your fathers flawless other son When the dust has settled the king is in his place Incarnation of the god he rules unscathed Whatever you were meant to, you’ll do! That is the most universal rule! |

In order to be loved respect is needed To give yourself completely To another person knowing they can pick you apart Knowing that by a flick of their wrist they can break your heart Once broken it can never again be completed and What can take you years to build can be torn apart in a second of guilt It takes a lifetime to create, but love can be replaced with purebred hate In the blink of an eye you’ll be branded and both will end up shorthanded Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late A passion so strong it can turn doubt into stone You find once in a lifetime if you overcome The difficulties to give everything you have in order to live With a person who has the power to rule Your insides in whichever way he chooses You’ll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win can you feel the difference? You’ll betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you’ve ever known You’ll betray, regret but not before it is too late Now you have to choose, take the risk or you loose The latter will leave you shorthanded And to take the risk can crush your bones Decisions cracking in the back of your mind, making you wanting to die You’ll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Corrupting the mind of another with false promises Not realizing you smother everything it was meant to be When your greatest fear is to end up shorthanded Be careful where your seed is planted You’ll betray! |

6. | Spring Will Come | 05:20 | Show lyrics |
Spring Will Come After the winter has ravaged your bones Life Will Come Everything will die, but it will return Frozen rivers will thaw and reflect the sun back into space The brutal winds of the north will settle down its elevated pace But before spring comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone And before warmth comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has ravaged your bones Life Will Come Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has scattered your moans Life Will Come Blizzards of chaotic tyranny will be tamed by the summer breeze You will see the world and let go of your soul’s dreadful disease But before spring comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone See the fields, watch them sway ayaw See the sun, feel it on your skin Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has ravaged your bones Life Will Come Spring Will Come, after the bitter cold has scattered your moans Life Will Come The forrest will transform and once again provide for you The land will be forgiving and you will pull through After summer comes the bitter cold So brutal it can turn you to stone See the fields, watch them sway ayaw See the sun, feel it on your skin |

7. | Tree of Life and Death | 05:34 | Show lyrics |
You can see whatever you want to see You can believe whatever you want to believe The world will keep on changing and so will we So suck it up, dry your eyes and wake up! You want to see us fail? Not today! Some will die, some will live, I fought for this privilege! Some will fail, some will shine, it’s up to you to live your life! Sometimes things end, sometimes you bend Things will change, tree of life Sometimes things end, take your last breath Take a look at the tree of life and death Some will do their best to be static and detest Anything new, or not created by them Unfortunately for them, nothing can mend You are blinded by your own insecurities So afraid to stand up in case someone will see We all have flaws and then you’ll turn to stone I love my flaws they are my own! You want to see us fail? Not today! Some will die, some will live, I fought for this privilege! Some will fail, some will shine, it’s up to you to live your life! Sometimes things end, sometimes you bend Things will change, tree of life Sometimes things end, take your last breath Take a look at the tree of life and death |

8. | Fall of Giants | 06:05 | Show lyrics |
We have all secretly watched them create history We have all enthusiastically enjoyed every masterpiece They have helped mold me into who I am They have changed my view of what can be done I had no clue such fathomless things could be created by man And I am crushed to know their time will come We will live to see the giants fall It doesn’t matter if you like them or not They have helped create the scene that you love so much But be aware it is corrupted, everyone wants to be on top Scavengers await your spot! You can always sell your soul if your talents do not suffice Money can solve your problems, drink their blood as lice No integrity is left for sale, put on your suit and smile But know inside that some of us see right through your lies! So to those of you who paved the way I salute you You have helped make my dreams come true The world has changed because of you This, no one else has the power to do! So to those of you who paved the way I salute you We stare at you and admire your guts and glory And every one of us wish we could live your story We will live to see the giants fall To those of you who paved the way I salute you |

9. | Vampiria | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
Skin as pale as grave More thirsty now than ever before The hatred for each other fuels your lust All you live for is blood no matter the cost You will drain their lives And still for blood you thrive Nothing can stop you nothing can kill This pinnacle creature of the night Welcome to my world - Vampiria I live for the thrill of the kill - Vampiria To live or love? My home - Vampiria I bid you to enter my world - Vampiria Hunting in the night, take a breath make a sigh Your victim has no clue what waits ahead Eternal life and crushing hunger For all eternity you will be no longer Fangs as sharp as razorblades More greedy now than ever before The cold and bitter pleasure will rage And kill the thrill of the kill Welcome to my world - Vampiria I live for the thrill of the kill - Vampiria To live or love? My home - Vampiria I bid you to enter my world - Vampiria The only thing to fear is a wooden stake In your heart so make no mistake! |

10. | Kingship Incarnate | 04:28 | Show lyrics |
Cracking the whip in the burning sun Breaking limbs and crushing skulls In desperate need of victory Denying to the bone, this is not your throne! Your empire is falling Crumbling at your feet Your empire is falling Into the righteous hands of your flawless fathers other son Letting your anger out on them - slaves shall serve! Wanting to rule more than anything else Meticulously punishing their every move Willing to accept anything but the truth The city is burning feel the wrath of Ra Pay for your betrayal you have come too far You rip them up, tear them apart, leave them for dead and rot in hell The ghosts of those you killed await your presence Savage and enraged in the underworld they dwell Your mind has betrayed you feel the wrath of Ra Plotting against your own blood you have come too far You rip them up, tear them apart, leave them for dead and rot in hell The ghosts of those you killed await your presence Savage and enraged in the underworld they dwell In the end no one will hear your final call In the end you will be alone when you fall As corrupt as Seth, Osiris will prevail As corrupt sa your mind I will prevail Corrupting the minds of those closest to you Wanting for your dreams of power to come true The snake of desperation has poisoned you Watching him, in war and peace, he’s better than you! Your empire is falling Crumbling at your feet Your empire is falling Into the righteous hands of your fathers flawless other son When the dust has settled the king is in his place Incarnation of the god he rules unscathed Whatever you were meant to, you’ll do! That is the most universal rule! |
