1. | Into the Crypts of Rays | 04:20 | Show lyrics |
Years of plead, behind the walls Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright Unspoken words, in pain and dread 140 lives passed his hands Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

2. | Visions of Mortality | 04:48 | Show lyrics |
My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom is near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

3. | Procreation (Of the Wicked) | 04:05 | Show lyrics |
You are blind - Deny the sun and light Whose are the objections - From where come the doubts Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked Serenades of opposition - Absurdity, human’s fate and hope True reflections of community - Procreation of the gods and lost Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked Cain and Abel’s love and death - Love and hate is what we are and were Dagger and grail have- Fallen off the altar Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked If god raised the abyss - You’d procreate your own Abolism of death is - Abolism of life "Mysteries of perversity" "I’ve killed this old man, because he limped I’ve done it because he shouldn’t have to do it" Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked |

4. | Return to the Eve | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

6. | Nocturnal Fear | 03:38 | Show lyrics |
Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darkened at their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail "The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls on her chains The blind phantom rages Azag-Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ethers edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws" Winds emerge from the east Deep dark water moves Even the cold moon eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes In chaos Tiamat laughs in pride. Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail |

1. | Grave Digger - Shine On (unreleased) | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Don’t you deny the life you’ll be living Could right now be over and away Look and see your foolish behaviour It’s just your arrogance in the way Can’t go on wasting you future By killing the environment And nature won’t survive explotation I live in such fear of the end Shine on Horizon’s low Shine on Cold winds blow Shine on Freezing snow Shine on The future will be cold Cold as ice No bright sunny days Only nights How can life go on here on earth Stop the light of day Smog alert Every shining star fades away It’s the planet earth Dark and grey |

2. | Grave Digger - Tears of Blood (unreleased) | 02:36 | Show lyrics |
Four o’clock, she’s just gone to sleep She’s a girl, no one ever keeps Playing false is her only joy Fooling ’round, men become her toys Bad girl, I won’t see her anymore Five o’clock, I lay on my bed Thoughts of her going through my head Makes me cry, tears are in my eyes What she does keeps me wondering why Bad girl, I don’t want her anymore Six o’clock, I can get no rest Now she’s gone, maybe for the best No more tries ’cause I know for sure I won’t fight for that girl no more Tears of blood Cold as ice Tears of blood Falling down tonight |

3. | Running Wild - Diabolic Force | 04:57 | Show lyrics |
Scared up raven yells On the cemetery darkness fells Smouldering firebowls From eternity hell’s usher howls Tonight The vault hears a fatal vow Of the preacher veiled in a cowl He swears the righteous sovereign For an alliance to rouse the flame Tonight Diabolic force, occult energy Diabolic force, live eternally He takes the wrought iron cross Fulfilling the fiend’s cause He breaks beyond’s boundary The fate’s sealed on this cemetery Tonight The preacher bows his head Sinking he beats all the dread Falling in a black abyss Hearing the demon’s hiss Tonight In eternity he walks his path Bedeviled by a certain wrath Supported by eternal flame Men of hate to tame Tonight Vultures of death are flying Under their cry the evil’s dying Destroying society of hate Like thunderstorm they bring their fate Tonight |

4. | Helloween - Murderer (remixed) | 04:25 | Show lyrics |
He said get out of here nobody wants you here You smashed his head and the man died And there’s a murmur loud From the appearing crowd Searching for motives and reasons why Now take a look at yourself an you’ll see What you are in the eyes of the world You didn’t want it but now he is dead And you’re on the run from the law Chorus: You’re a murderer in every town Murderer to the whole world Murderer you’re on the run Murderer you’ll have to kill... again And like an animal which escaped from the cage They’re hunting you over their holy land Traps waiting everywhere you fall in deep despair Darkness and night your only friends One day the chase will be over for you And you’ll find your own peace in the end Some day you will find a sanctuary Death!... but so long my friend... Chorus Look for a safe place where no one will find you And try to escape from the law Wherever you are there’s a killer behind you Wanting to get you for sure To lose the fear that one day he will get out Be faster and kill him and run Now you don’t have to fear him no more But in his place another headhunter will come ... Run away!!! |

5. | Warrant - Scavenger’s Daughter | 03:42 | Show lyrics |
Scavenger’s daughter is hell London was born in a mystic time Death came in lives place Someone in prison just never came out To see the world’s two faces The worlds disgraces Evil walking, evil telling him to strike back Chorus Run, fight, kill Scavenger’s daughter is hell Breakout, believe, be free Scavenger’s daughter is hell Scavenger’s daughter is hell... Life was hard, full of pain Everyday’s the same Kings and crowns held the people down They always made them sweat And broke their necks Death came nearer, slowly nearer at night Chorus Kings were born to bring ya’ death Kings where born to break their necks Life was as hot as hot as hell Life was full events like a spell |

6. | Sinner - Danger Zone | 03:39 | Show lyrics |
Welcome to the danger zone Runnin’ to a land so dark full of pain I’m feeling dirty, feelin’ hot again I got the miracles in my hands Deliver me from evil The sorcerer is planting his seed Growing the fools and the victims he needs His empire’s covered by a black sky The danger zone is in his eyes [Chorus 1:] Harder than diamonds Face to face with his evil eyes Harder than diamonds I stand against his magic might [Chorus 2:] He’s evil (evil, evil, evil) So evil (evil, evil, evil) It’s a long way through the dark Through the danger zone He’s evil (evil, evil, evil) So evil (evil, evil, evil) It’s a long way through the dark Danger zone I was the stranger he needed to kill I was the danger, I was the thrill Demons of fire at his command Flashes of lightning shot from his head It was one minute before the dawn Just one minute and his power’d be gone I started runnin’ I felt his pain The sun came up, I’m gettin’ hot again [Chorus 1 & 2] Through the danger zone |

1. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion Circle of the Tyrants The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewel’s gleam Circle of the Tyrants The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

4. | Visual Aggression | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

5. | Suicidal Winds | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

4. | Dawn of Megiddo | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

5. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

6. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

7. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |

8. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

10. | Necromantical Screams | 06:02 | Show lyrics |
Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caress my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

1. | Into the Crypts of Rays | 04:19 | Show lyrics |
Years of plead, behind the walls Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright Unspoken words, in pain and dread 140 lives passed his hands Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

2. | Visions of Mortality | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom’s near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

See the portal, gate to madness Locked forever in a veil of shame Deny extraction - Thirst for disgrace Watch his break - The emperor’s killed Light of the day - Shadows from beyond Scaffold of steel - The throne has gone Dethroned emperor The foot of the stairs, dimension in might The king sits, his eyes are glass Growing of the small - The laughter’s fall Can you deny - Remaining cries? Descent of the lords - Into the trap Existence and hate - Unseen gate Dethroned emperor |

9. | Nocturnal Fear | 03:35 | Show lyrics |
Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darkened at their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail "The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls on her chains The blind phantom rages Azag-Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ethers edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws" Winds emerge from the east Deep dark water moves Even the cold moon eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes In chaos Tiamat laughs in pride. Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail |

Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

11. | Visual Aggression | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I’d love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine |

You, who like the moon at night Haunted my mortal heart ... You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath - through creedence A derelict shell in the desert Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified Murmur at the meager’s spear Battered Carthagian pride Mesmerized The beloved’s cry - wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal - dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose - ever Oh mesmerized |

Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

4. | Sorrows of the Moon | 03:04 | Show lyrics |
This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

Flee from false ... I have tasted the weight of lust My hands on the skein of height ... A pallid death Mirage into dark The horizons echo your glance Following a detractive sleep I am the wrath beneath the heavens The downfall’s monologue Fallen into the vision of effect Quiet as gods can be (Joining the king’s words) Orgies of fear lnbreeding and death I have walked Carthagia’s sands l’ve touched those buried walls I am the ... All mortal is love? Remembrance has won Breathing glorified innonce Quiescence has died therefore I am the ... [REMEMBRANCE I:] We stood before the portals of Babylon And saw it’s petrified fall ... Have seen your decline’s symbols But carried another life We tasted the wine of Persepolis, As mute as our era’s breath Death was never a fragment of Exalting fantasy ...

1. | I Won’t Dance | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

Fire’s coming down, hot winds blow the smoke away Low screams of the survivers the innocent have paid Nobody knows what happened, light was all they’ve seen People walk through the destruction of the enemy Molten bodies become more and more, No chance to be saved Helpless childreen seek for their parents But they’re into the grave After the attack empty souls tormented brains After the attack deformed mutants psychical confusion After the attack nuclear winter in the land After the attack will this ever end Everywhere starts the search for water and groceries Hate rules the land you get nothing if you please Fear is controlling all actions kill to survive The scarlet sky is the witness of all as the mutants arrive Between ruins rotting corpses lie the smell of burning bones All hope is in vain as death is creeping through the stones The only way out without pain is quick suicide All live in hell and fear It’s your fate, it’s better to die. |

4. | Celtic Frost - Visual Aggression | 04:16 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the fast sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

Dancing violet dreams. Joining nights of satin fame. Acting jewel games. All forgiven, you streak my heart. More than pleasure in ice cold flames. Crying soft, as love flies tame. Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Winter’s final shine. Dressing gold, one last time. Seep from lace. Roses for an unborn face. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. |

Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

Years of plead, behind the walls Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright Unspoken words, in pain and dread 140 lives passed his hands Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

10. | Nemesis | 07:49 | Show lyrics |
Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain |

2. | The Usurper | 04:05 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

7. | Jewel Throne | 04:02 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

Thirst and desire, to rule the light For crossing heavens, a futile fight Bound to storm, our minds wave Fervent to sail in deserts of mist Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine Born of earth, we strive for skies Obsessed with lies, in arms of sleep Earning dreams, we blind our eyes Challenging secrets, ancient the cries Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine |

9. | Cherry Orchards | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
Dancing violet dreams. Joining nights of satin fame. Acting jewel games. All forgiven, you streak my heart. More than pleasure in ice cold flames. Crying soft, as love flies tame. Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Winter’s final shine. Dressing gold, one last time. Seep from lace. Roses for an unborn face. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. |

12. | Into the Crypts of Rays | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Years of plead, behind the walls Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright Unspoken words, in pain and dread 140 lives passed his hands Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caress my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

14. | Downtown Hanoi | 03:53 | Show lyrics |
Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

15. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:02 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

Descent of the lords - Into the trap Existence and hate - Unseen gate Dethroned emperor |

1. | Idols of Chagrin | 04:10 | Show lyrics |
What kind of race, lack of direction Just how lunatic, to have a nature so deceit Bewail my reverie, a gambol untried Lure of carnality and silence in forfeit Animals, enslaved to pearls of fictionalized worth Creatures, born from caves into simulated mirth I’m talking, Idols of Chagrin Born of posession, complacement in disguise Craving and candid, as to defy the character’s fall The kisses you drain, pedestrian pedigree What’s thought is pain might be desire after all |

Babylon asleep, an everlasting foe Striving to hurt, for flesh becomes dirt Resting within, the sacred fire I can’t withold, the lies untold Dances and cries, a descent to Babylon Wine in my hand, a descent to Babylon All eyes must foul, in stench of fear Killing to quench, Babylon’s tears We are wisphering for holy wine Innocence to reign, a world of shrines This crazy dream, raging over ages For only one belief. Killing - Suffer for a thought In human blood, stretched out A descent to a 1000 deaths As sweet as snow, as cold as dew A descent to a 1000 deaths. Babylon asleep |

5. | The Inevitable Factor | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories Below 0, I’m turning blue Why does the ice burn so hot Frozen waters, a strange land I know I live, as the frost bites My eyes are closed, but I can’t sleep Moving forward, for sleep means death A white shroud covers me I buried myself to stay alive Time’s passing slow on my pale face Beneath the snow, beneath the ice I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories |

6. | The Heart Beneath | 03:52 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leapsereos An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

7. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

11. | Vanity | 04:24 | Show lyrics |
Deep within my bleeding heart Stranded by the hold of fear Agony takes a final role Sipping the dew of tears Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs Surrender, dance and cry Their Tormented eyes perceive Grasps of fright, lusters crawl Tarnished grounds of faded beliefs |

12. | Nemesis | 07:49 | Show lyrics |
Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear the silent eyes perceive Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain |

13. | Heroes (David Bowie cover) | 03:47 | Show lyrics |
I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing will Drive them away We can beat them Just for one day We can be Heroes Just for one day And you You can be mean And I I’ll drink all the time ’Cause we’re lovers And that is a fact Yes we’re lovers And that is that Though nothing Will keep us together We could steal time Just for one day We can be Heroes For ever and ever What d’you say I I wish you could swim Like the dolphins Like dolphins can swim Though nothing Will keep us together We can beat them For ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes Just for one day I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing Will drive them away We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be us Just for one day I I can remember Standing By the wall And the guns Shot above our heads And we kissed As though nothing could fall And the shame Was on the other side Oh we can beat them For ever and ever Then we can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We’re nothing And nothing will help us Maybe we’re lying Then you better not stay But we could be safer Just for one day |

14. | Under Apollyon’s Sun | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
The face of Nemesis Under pandemonium’s heat Parched my yearning whisper In this world of deceit To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs All their pain bears their name Ignorance dies by its own lies Tears of indignation Crying under Apollyon’s sun In faith for love Underground, a dream apart Flesh from soil Disparate, no less the same Sift my tears The lasting spring We were raised to fade To deluge by carnal claims To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs |

I am you. Stillborn. Into this state of being numb. I am the temple and the sacrifice. The shrine, entombed within lies all I am. And you, the womb from whence I came. I am you. If I am you, no life is sacred in my hands. If I am you, no love will prosper in this world. If I am you, I am the faith to end all faith. If I am you, you shall not live to save yourselves. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie. I live your life not for you. I am a throne made from dust. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie. I live your life not for you. I am a throne made from dust. If I am you, no life is sacred in my hands. If I am you, no love will prosper in this world. If I am you, I am the faith to end all faith.

2. | Ground | 03:55 | Show lyrics |
I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

All is cold and frozen. Frozen the sea, frozen the sky. Frozen is death, but I cannot die. Cannot die. As the snow falls. To cover this all. And all is cold. And cold is all.

4. | Drown in Ashes | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. I drown in ashes you’ve enshrined. Of blissful days long gone by. Concealed behind my dying eyes. This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My love destroyed. Destroyed. My love. My love. |

A pallid sun sheds dimmest glow. On mute and pallid soil. I am the one, a life long gone. A refuge raped in search of life. Like a shadow on this earth. In embraces pale as human flesh. I am unborn, and I’m undone. How much of me is lost. I deny my own desire. I deny my own desire. Lying one among the liars. I deny my own desire. Dark in darkness I can see. Nothingness is blinding me. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. I’m drowning in this sea. For those I loved I hurt. So you taketh from me. My name untold and numb. I deny my own desire. I deny my own desire. Lying one among the liars. I deny my own desire. Where I am there is no thing. No God, no me, no inbetween. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abyss. I deny my own desire. I deny my own desire. Lying one among the liars. I deny my own desire. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abyss. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abyss. |

6. | Obscured | 07:05 | Show lyrics |
Somewhere inside. It’s still obscured. Darkness reflects. Stronger than fear. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. |

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

10. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

6. | Nocturnal Fear | 03:39 | Show lyrics |
Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darkened at their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail "The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls on her chains The blind phantom rages Azag-Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ethers edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws" Winds emerge from the east Deep dark water moves Even the cold moon eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes In chaos Tiamat laughs in pride. Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail |

8. | The Usurper | 03:26 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

9. | Dawn of Meggido | 05:44 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

10. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

11. | Fainted Eyes | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

13. | Jewel Throne | 04:02 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

14. | Eternal Summer | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

2. | Visual Aggression | 04:15 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom is near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom is near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the fast sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

Three days of absolute eclipse Introduce the evoked tribunal Hailstorms proof.

Triumph of death! Eurynomos sends his souls Buried by horrible mistakes (Let me out) You feel you’re eaten by worms And the night’s alive again When you have been down in your grave... alive, alive, alive Your mind decays and you’re MY coffin’s slave And when, at midnight, an uncanny bell tolls Terrible noises, the dark graveyard calls... you, you, you, you, you |

Was it tomorrow Or will it be yesterday When abolished, rotten instincts Will, for the last time, be awake And malice, slander, and hate Will rule the ignorant heart [REFRAIN:] Aggressor - Deceiver of reality - Aggressor Aggressor - Inverter of protection - Aggressor The final chapter is yet unwritten But the trail leads toward greed Who will be the traitor How many, all of them? Ruthless is the creation Created through pale ages [REFRAIN] Duplicated in confusion Horizons of black fire Thorns in the chosen’s eye Stench of false hails Decline of all thrones When only perception can survive [REFRAIN] Was it still tomorrow Or yet will it be yesterday When abolished, rotten instincts Were, for the last time, ruling minds Then... eternal silence And the future remains the past [REFRAIN] |

In the days of Armageddon, starved souls, greedy bodies Ready to punish, ready to kill Sword by sword they stand Strike on strike, faith is dead Gog and Magog on Nergal’s left hand See the rust gnaws on Michael’s mystic sword Frozen’s the lightning in Jehova’s hand Angels it rains from the sky Extinct planets, pale meteors Captive of sins, slayed by the word Born in fire, a plundering horde Revelations... Picked angels fall into emptiness Inverted crosses, damned saints A dead priest can’t celebrate a mass Ravaged cities, slayed in the night Black holes, Belial’s hour The Antichrist, born by church’s power Revelations of doom Havoc in heaven, hell reigns on earth The sperm of Sodom, born again So hail Balaam, we will serve Souls are thirsty to receive your command Vows of damnation poison the air Life in pain, ’til the end The unholy trinity holds the dominion in the flickering lightning of a black eye OF DOOM! |

17. | Messiah | 04:33 | Show lyrics |
Is this our way, we cannot turn Extermination day, this world will burn MESSIAH!!! God has shoved his son, you drawed him Now it’s time: let’s pray Satan’s mass Six, six, six, East against the West Son of Jackal, atomic force kills the rest MESSIAH! You had your time, so follow him Your soul is ours, world bursts and breaks Satan’s hordes strive to kill, vultures of steel seed death No escape, time stands still, feel his deadly breath MESSIAH! MESSIAH! OW! See the dead of the sun - Christian love in vain Father killed by son, mother raped in pain In a world of steel, made from stone Only death is real - world war ... III |

My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom’s near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spell surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vein I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

After the battle is over And the sands have drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion Circle of the Tyrants The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewel’s gleam Circle of the Tyrants The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom is near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom is near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him...

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darkened at their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail "The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls on her chains The blind phantom rages Azag-Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ethers edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws" Winds emerge from the east Deep dark water moves Even the cold moon eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes In chaos Tiamat laughs in pride. Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail |

10. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands have drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion Circle of the Tyrants The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam Circle of the Tyrants The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

11. | Visual Aggression | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

12. | Suicidal Winds | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom is near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

MESSIAH! OW! See the death of the sun - christian love in vain Father killed by son, mother raped in pain In a world of steel, made from stone Only death is real - world war ... III |

12. | Procreation (of the Wicked) (autumn 1984 rehearsal) | 04:14 | Show lyrics |
You are blind - Deny the sun and light Whose are the objections - From where come the doubts Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked Serenades of opposition - Absurdity, human’s fate and hope True reflections of community - Procreation of the gods and lords Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked Cain and Abel’s love and death - Love and hate is what we are and were Dagger and grail have- Fallen off the altar Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked If god raised the abyss - You’d procreate your own Abolism of death is - Abolism of life "Mysteries of perversity" "I’ve killed this old man, because he limped I’ve done it because he shouldn’t have to do it" Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked |

13. | Nocturnal Fear (autumn 1984 rehearsal) | 03:54 | Show lyrics |
Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darkened at their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail "The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls on her chains The blind phantom rages Azag-Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ethers edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws" Winds emerge from the east Deep dark water moves Even the cold moon eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes In chaos Tiamat laughs in pride. Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail |

1. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion Circle of the Tyrants The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewel’s gleam Circle of the Tyrants The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

By burial this night Nitocrys weaves the spell Down the vault’s misty light The lurking Sphinx dwells Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they noan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one In the nuclear domain Arcades lost in eternal skries Written by the insane Nitocrys orders must Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they moan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one Are you morbid? Mummy’s rebirth by wrath Below the temple of Nile Vanished in Osiris’ path Above us reigns the Necrophile Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they moan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one Morbid Tales |

3. | Dethroned Emperor | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
See the portal, gate to madness Locked forever in a veil of shame Deny extraction - Thirst for disgrace Watch his break - The emperor’s killed Light of the day - Shadows from beyond Scaffold of steel - The throne has gone Dethroned emperor The foot of the stairs, dimension in might The king sits, his eyes are glass Growing of the small - The laughter’s fall Can you deny - Remaining cries? Descent of the lords - Into the trap Existence and hate - Unseen gate Dethroned emperor |

4. | Visual Aggression | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

5. | Suicidal Winds | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

By burial this night Nitocrys weaves the spell Down the vault’s misty light The lurking Sphinx dwells Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they noan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one In the nuclear domain Arcades lost in eternal skries Written by the insane Nitocrys orders must Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they moan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one Are you morbid? Mummy’s rebirth by wrath Below the temple of Nile Vanished in Osiris’ path Above us reigns the Necrophile Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they moan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one Morbid Tales |

3. | Dethroned Emperor | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
See the portal, gate to madness Locked forever in a veil of shame Deny extraction - Thirst for disgrace Watch his break - The emperor’s killed Light of the day - Shadows from beyond Scaffold of steel - The throne has gone Dethroned emperor The foot of the stairs, dimension in might The king sits, his eyes are glass Growing of the small - The laughter’s fall Can you deny - Remaining cries? Descent of the lords - Into the trap Existence and hate - Unseen gate Dethroned emperor |

4. | Visual Aggression | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

5. | Suicidal Winds | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

1. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion Circle of the Tyrants The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewel’s gleam Circle of the Tyrants The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

4. | Dawn of Megiddo | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

5. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

7. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |

8. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |
|||
3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |
|||
4. | Dawn of Megiddo | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

6. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |
|||
7. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |
|||
8. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |
|||
9. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

4. | Dawn of Megiddo | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

5. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

6. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

7. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |

8. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

6. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

7. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

8. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |

9. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |

8. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

10. | Necromantical Screams | 06:02 | Show lyrics |
Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

3. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

6. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

7. | Dawn of Meggido | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

8. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |
|||
3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |
|||
4. | Dawn of Megiddo | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |
|||
5. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |
|||
6. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |
|||
7. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |
|||
8. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

10. | Necromantical Screams | 06:02 | Show lyrics |
Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

11. | Return to the Eve (1985 studio jam) | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caress my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caress my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

4. | Dawn of Megiddo | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

5. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

6. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

7. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |

8. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

11. | Return to the Eve (1985 studio jam) | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caress my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

2. | The Usurper | 03:27 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

3. | Jewel Throne | 04:06 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

4. | Dawn of Megiddo | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

5. | Eternal Summer | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

6. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |
|||
7. | (Beyond The) North Winds | 03:08 | Show lyrics |
On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere [Chorus] (And) dark ships sailed beyond those lost realms Through gates to eternity, above the sleeping mind Forever inconquerable seemed the walls of time To those who always feared and always fled the dawn But then, the guardians growl invited the thirst for steeI Part god, part man, if I walked by their side The old man’s dream now has ended much too soon Forgotten rests the wisdom that brought them once so far Vanished until rebirth, we sleep the endless sleep For one who knows never tries to reappear ... |
|||
8. | Fainted Eyes | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

12. | Visual Aggression (Emperor’s Return EP) | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

13. | Suicidal Winds (Emperor’s Return EP) | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

2. | Jewel Throne (new recording) | 04:03 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caress my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the fast sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

My life turns into sand Immortality is my dream Man shall follow my command Sorcery shall conquer my fear Astral magic and runic wand I feel that wisdom is near Across the mountain’s ice Scarlett at the equinox’ dawn I sacrificed an innocent lamb And drunk the wine of paradise But, still run the sands of time Just one thing yet to be done As spells surround me At a lightmass’ night He raised the abyss Covered by the sword I sold my soul in vain I feel it, as he returns The sands of time will never run For an immortal dead man |

See the portal, gate to madness Locked forever in a veil of shame Deny extraction - Thirst for disgrace Watch his break - The emperor’s killed Light of the day - Shadows from beyond Scaffold of steel - The throne has gone Dethroned emperor The foot of the stairs, dimension in might The king sits, his eyes are glass Growing of the small - The laughter’s fall Can you deny - Remaining cries?

This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

1. | Mexican Radio (Wall of Voodoo cover) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder And the touch of a world that’s older Turn the switch and check the number Leave it on, in bed I slumber Hear the rhythm of the music Buy the product, never use it Hear the talking of the DJ Can’t understand, what’s he say?

2. | Mesmerized | 03:24 | Show lyrics |
You, who like the moon at night Haunted my mortal heart ... You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath - through creedence A derelict shell in the desert Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified Murmur at the meager’s spear Battered Carthagian pride Mesmerized The beloved’s cry - wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal - dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose - ever Oh mesmerized |

3. | Inner Sanctum | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

4. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:00 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qune beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d抲ne main discrete et legere caresse Avant de sè?ndormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans lèzur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment dèpale Et lèmener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil. |

5. | Sorrows of the Moon | 03:04 | Show lyrics |
This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

6. | Babylon Fell | 04:19 | Show lyrics |
Lights have faded - Euphoria is dead Past and present - Exalt of the weird Chimerias petrified - Eclipse and suspicion Deafened stream - Babylon fell Distraction and envy, Babylon fell Festal perishing, Babylon fell Dreams drift in the frozen wind And mysteries are reborn We rose from sand and stone To follow the light’s allure Tears drift in the shadows sleep Turn innocence into excess Fragments of a dying world And destiny lies beneath Sceptres of bombast - Tracks into myth Fetish and feud - Dance of recesses Fierce laughter - Banned into stone Eyes of guilt - Covered by sand |

I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call?

You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath - through creedence A derelict shell in the desert Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified Murmur at the meager’s spear Battered Carthagian pride Mesmerized The beloved’s cry - wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal - dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose - ever Oh mesmerized |

Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call?

This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

2. | Mesmerized | 03:24 | Show lyrics |
You, who like the moon at night Haunted my mortal heart ... You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath - through creedence A derelict shell in the desert Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified Murmur at the meager’s spear Battered Carthagian pride Mesmerized The beloved’s cry - wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal - dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose - ever Oh mesmerized |

3. | Inner Sanctum | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qune beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d抲ne main discrete et legere caresse Avant de sè?ndormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans lèzur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment dèpale Et lèmener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil. |

Lights have faded - Euphoria is dead Past and present - Exalt of the weird Chimerias petrified - Eclipse and suspicion Deafened stream - Babylon fell Distraction and envy, Babylon fell Festal perishing, Babylon fell Dreams drift in the frozen wind And mysteries are reborn We rose from sand and stone To follow the light’s allure Tears drift in the shadows sleep Turn innocence into excess Fragments of a dying world And destiny lies beneath Sceptres of bombast - Tracks into myth Fetish and feud - Dance of recesses Fierce laughter - Banned into stone Eyes of guilt - Covered by sand |

I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call?

9. | Sorrows of the Moon | 03:04 | Show lyrics |
This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

You, who like the moon at night Haunted my mortal heart ... You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath - through creedence A derelict shell in the desert Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified Murmur at the meager’s spear Battered Carthagian pride Mesmerized The beloved’s cry - wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal - dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose - ever Oh mesmerized |

3. | Inner Sanctum | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

9. | Sorrows of the Moon | 03:04 | Show lyrics |
This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I’d love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine In the chapel in the moonlight |

This evening the moon dreams more lazily As some fair woman, lost in cushions deep With gentle hand caresses listlessly The contour of her breasts before she sleeps On velvet backs of avalanches soft She often lies enraptured as she dies And gazes on white visions aloft Which like a blossoming to heaven rise When sometimes on this globe, in indolence She lets a secret tear drop down, by chance A poet, set against oblivion Takes in his hand this pale and furtive tear This opal drop where rainbow hues appear And hides it in his breast far from the sun |

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder And the touch of a world that’s older Turn the switch and check the number Leave it on, in bed I slumber Hear the rhythm of the music Buy the product, never use it Hear the talking of the DJ Can’t understand, what’s he say? I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio Dial it in, tune the station They talk about U.S. inflation I understand just a little No comprende - it’s a riddle I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio Wish I was in Tijuana Eating barbecued iguana I’d take requests on the telephone I’m on a wavelength far from home I feel the hot wind on my shoulder I dial in, south of the border Hear the talking of the DJ Can’t understand, what’s he say?

2. | Mesmerized | 03:24 | Show lyrics |
You, who like the moon at night Haunted my mortal heart ... You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath - through creedence A derelict shell in the desert Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified Murmur at the meager’s spear Battered Carthagian pride Mesmerized The beloved’s cry - wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal - dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose - ever Oh mesmerized |

3. | Inner Sanctum | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

4. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:00 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir, la lune rêve avec plus de paresse; Ainsi qu’une beauté, sur de nombreux coussins, Qui d’une main distraite et légère caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins, Sur le dos satiné des molles avalanches, Mourante, elle se livre aux longues pâmoisons, Et promène ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons. Quand parfois sur ce globe, en sa langueur oisive, Elle laisse filer une larme furtive, Un poète pieux, ennemi du sommeil, Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pâle, Aux reflets irisés comme un fragment d’opale, Et la met dans son coeur loin des yeux du soleil. |

5. | Babylon Fell | 04:19 | Show lyrics |
Lights have faded - Euphoria is dead Past and present - Exalt of the weird Chimerias petrified - Eclipse and suspicion Deafened stream - Babylon fell Distraction and envy, Babylon fell Festal perishing, Babylon fell Dreams drift in the frozen wind And mysteries are reborn We rose from sand and stone To follow the light’s allure Tears drift in the shadows sleep Turn innocence into excess Fragments of a dying world And destiny lies beneath Sceptres of bombast - Tracks into myth Fetish and feud - Dance of recesses Fierce laughter - Banned into stone Eyes of guilt - Covered by sand |

6. | Caress into Oblivion | 05:14 | Show lyrics |
Is it addiction to prevail or mute marble words my heart. Coarse and fallen into the sand Oblivion into grief millenniums perish pillars of desire therefore I have seen Meurt et seduction des comptes morbides tasting rhetoric hate an attraction verified Fall of luster and fake caresses mundane beggars costume of death A purified doctrine and communal repentance my mortalized quest the enigma still unborn Oceans of grime and stone shores of wasted might soaring remains forfeit my visionary dream Wings of lust temptation and fame temples of prowess left a man among ruins Caress into oblivion Caress into oblivion Caress into oblivion Caress into oblivion |

8. | I Won’t Dance (Elder’s Orient) | 04:33 | Show lyrics |
I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

I stalk alone the buried seas Dead and white Weak memories Below zero I’m turning blue Why does the ice burn so hot Frozen waters A strange land I know I live As the frost bites My eyes are closed But I can’t sleep Moving forward For sleep means death A white shroud covers me I’ve buried myself to stay alive Time’s passing slow On my place face Beneath the snow Beneath the ice |

5. | Cherry Orchards | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
Dancing violet dreams. Joining nights of satin fame. Acting jewel games. All forgiven, you streak my heart. More than pleasure in ice cold flames. Crying soft, as love flies tame. Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Winter’s final shine. Dressing gold, one last time. Seep from lace. Roses for an unborn face. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. |

Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Winter’s final shine. Dressing gold, one last time. Seep from lace. Roses for an unborn face. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. |

6. | Juices like Wine | 04:17 | Show lyrics |
Thirst and desire, to rule the light For crossing heavens, a futile fight Bound to storm, our minds wave Fervent to sail in deserts of mist Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine Born of earth, we strive for skies Obsessed with lies, in arms of sleep Earning dreams, we blind our eyes Challenging secrets, ancient the cries Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine |

9. | Downtown Hanoi | 04:15 | Show lyrics |
Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

Years of plead, behind the walls Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright Unspoken words, in pain and dread 140 lives passed his hands Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

1. | Cherry Orchards (live) | 04:12 | Show lyrics |
Dancing violet dreams. Joining nights of satin fame. Acting jewel games. All forgiven, you streak my heart. More than pleasure in ice cold flames. Crying soft, as love flies tame. Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Winter’s final shine. Dressing gold, one last time. Seep from lace. Roses for an unborn face. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. |

Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

1. | The Heart Beneath | 03:50 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

2. | Wine in My Hand (Third from the Sun) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
They’re sleeping through the ages Faces bare of names Remembrance ever lies At the Bosom of the insane Death’s cold embrace Across the restless seas Unfolding the wish to forget The eyes of the deceased Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Third from the sun The heart of death A thought for fake desires Starving through the night Engulfed in an earthbound fire Left all alone among the dances and cries They seed all the hate Within the shade of sights Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun... |

3. | Wings of Solitude | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

4. | The Name of My Bride | 04:32 | Show lyrics |
Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know |

5. | This Island Earth (Bryan Ferry cover) | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

6. | The Restless Seas | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Did we persist in misery and grief Tasting a glance of the bold A thousand days of fates untold And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Ruling the light, we gave our lonely hearts Addicted fiends, through weakened weeps and woes The sight of fear, trading in for faith Eternal thirst to lead the circling hate And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Shattered at base, the lies that we breathe And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace ... |

7. | Phallic Tantrum | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
No more... Harassed Hearts Primeval wings of solitude The cross has saved the soil Traces given to sinister moods Cavity of hate Unborn faith, scorn beneath The quest for death Gold built the mortal feat Into the phallic tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear Infinite space No dreams of sleep of death Humane, cold embrace Concepts of might and reign The apocalyptic raids Shadows over the hearts beneath Calls that forever fade Their visions betrayed Into the Phallic Tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear |

8. | A Kiss or a Whisper | 03:05 | Show lyrics |
By masquerade of sleep madness ever lures Resting soul’s rebirth, denying the depths of fear Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A thousand cries in pain, spread beneath the fall A kiss glowing above, feeding upon the heart Spells... on glory they ride from within Light, as they seed hate onto the path Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A kiss or a whisper Floods of hate without relief for all sinister sleep Shadows of eternal belief Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind |
|||
9. | Vanity | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
Deep within my bleeding heart Stranded by the hold of fear Agony takes a final role Sipping the dew of tears Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs Surrender, dance and cry Their Tormented eyes perceive Grasps of fright, lusters crawl Tarnished grounds of faded beliefs Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs |

10. | Nemesis | 07:49 | Show lyrics |
Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain |

11. | Heroes | 03:45 | Show lyrics |
I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing will Drive them away We can beat them Just for one day We can be Heroes Just for one day And you You can be mean And I I’ll drink all the time ’Cause we’re lovers And that is a fact Yes we’re lovers And that is that Though nothing Will keep us together We could steal time Just for one day We can be Heroes For ever and ever What d’you say I I wish you could swim Like the dolphins Like dolphins can swim Though nothing Will keep us together We can beat them For ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes Just for one day I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing Will drive them away We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be us Just for one day I I can remember Standing By the wall And the guns Shot above our heads And we kissed As though nothing could fall And the shame Was on the other side Oh we can beat them For ever and ever Then we can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We’re nothing And nothing will help us Maybe we’re lying Then you better not stay But we could be safer Just for one day |

1. | The Heart Beneath | 03:50 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

2. | Wine in My Hand (Third from the Sun) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
They’re sleeping through the ages Faces bare of names Remembrance ever lies At the Bosom of the insane Death’s cold embrace Across the restless seas Unfolding the wish to forget The eyes of the deceased Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Third from the sun The heart of death A thought for fake desires Starving through the night Engulfed in an earthbound fire Left all alone among the dances and cries They seed all the hate Within the shade of sights Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun... |

3. | Wings of Solitude | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

4. | The Name of My Bride | 04:32 | Show lyrics |
Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know |

5. | This Island Earth (Bryan Ferry cover) | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Did we persist in misery and grief Tasting a glance of the bold A thousand days of fates untold And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Ruling the light, we gave our lonely hearts Addicted fiends, through weakened weeps and woes The sight of fear, trading in for faith Eternal thirst to lead the circling hate And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Shattered at base, the lies that we breathe And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace ... |

7. | Phallic Tantrum | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
No more... Harassed Hearts Primeval wings of solitude The cross has saved the soil Traces given to sinister moods Cavity of hate Unborn faith, scorn beneath The quest for death Gold built the mortal feat Into the phallic tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear Infinite space No dreams of sleep of death Humane, cold embrace Concepts of might and reign The apocalyptic raids Shadows over the hearts beneath Calls that forever fade Their visions betrayed Into the Phallic Tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear |

8. | A Kiss or a Whisper | 03:05 | Show lyrics |
By masquerade of sleep madness ever lures Resting soul’s rebirth, denying the depths of fear Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A thousand cries in pain, spread beneath the fall A kiss glowing above, feeding upon the heart Spells... on glory they ride from within Light, as they seed hate onto the path Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A kiss or a whisper Floods of hate without relief for all sinister sleep Shadows of eternal belief Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind |

9. | Vanity | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
Deep within my bleeding heart Stranded by the hold of fear Agony takes a final role Sipping the dew of tears Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs Surrender, dance and cry Their Tormented eyes perceive Grasps of fright, lusters crawl Tarnished grounds of faded beliefs Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs |

10. | Nemesis | 07:49 | Show lyrics |
Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain |

So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know |

5. | This Island Earth (Bryan Ferry cover) | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

Killing - Suffer for a thought In human blood, stretched out A descent to a 1000 deaths As sweet as snow, as cold as dew A descent to a 1000 deaths. Babylon asleep |

1. | The Heart Beneath | 03:50 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

2. | Wine in My Hand (Third from the Sun) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
They’re sleeping through the ages Faces bare of names Remembrance ever lies At the Bosom of the insane Death’s cold embrace Across the restless seas Unfolding the wish to forget The eyes of the deceased Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Third from the sun The heart of death A thought for fake desires Starving through the night Engulfed in an earthbound fire Left all alone among the dances and cries They seed all the hate Within the shade of sights Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun... |

3. | Wings of Solitude | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

4. | The Name of My Bride | 04:32 | Show lyrics |
Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know |

5. | This Island Earth (Bryan Ferry cover) | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Did we persist in misery and grief Tasting a glance of the bold A thousand days of fates untold And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Ruling the light, we gave our lonely hearts Addicted fiends, through weakened weeps and woes The sight of fear, trading in for faith Eternal thirst to lead the circling hate And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Shattered at base, the lies that we breathe And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace ... |

7. | Phallic Tantrum | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
No more... Harassed Hearts Primeval wings of solitude The cross has saved the soil Traces given to sinister moods Cavity of hate Unborn faith, scorn beneath The quest for death Gold built the mortal feat Into the phallic tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear Infinite space No dreams of sleep of death Humane, cold embrace Concepts of might and reign The apocalyptic raids Shadows over the hearts beneath Calls that forever fade Their visions betrayed Into the Phallic Tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear |

8. | A Kiss or a Whisper | 03:05 | Show lyrics |
By masquerade of sleep madness ever lures Resting soul’s rebirth, denying the depths of fear Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A thousand cries in pain, spread beneath the fall A kiss glowing above, feeding upon the heart Spells... on glory they ride from within Light, as they seed hate onto the path Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A kiss or a whisper Floods of hate without relief for all sinister sleep Shadows of eternal belief Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind |

9. | Vanity | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
Deep within my bleeding heart Stranded by the hold of fear Agony takes a final role Sipping the dew of tears Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs Surrender, dance and cry Their Tormented eyes perceive Grasps of fright, lusters crawl Tarnished grounds of faded beliefs Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs |

Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain |

Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain |

Babylon asleep, an everlasting foe Striving to hurt, for flesh becomes dirt Resting within, the sacred fire I can’t withold, the lies untold Dances and cries, a descent to Babylon Wine in my hand, a descent to Babylon All eyes must foul, in stench of fear Killing to quench, Babylon’s tears We are wisphering for holy wine Innocence to reign, a world of shrines This crazy dream, raging over ages For only one belief. Killing - Suffer for a thought In human blood, stretched out A descent to a 1000 deaths As sweet as snow, as cold as dew A descent to a 1000 deaths. Babylon asleep |

1. | The Heart Beneath | 03:50 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know |

So I send an SOS . Semaphore myself . Catch me falling finally . Through the air and underground . Everywhere this sound . Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" . I feel it in my bones . Though I know I’m not alone . You’re spinning far too far from me . So cruel to be so kind . Now I know I’ll always find . This island earth . A mystery . As I stumble through the dark . Dream lovers dream apart . Starry eyed a vision rushes in . Do I wonder or care . My spirit’s bleeding God knows where . A never ending stream . I tried to love, tried to find . My soul in shadows running blind . restless as the sea . Via sidewalks through the haze . Wandering as in a maze . Lost in number time and space . So near and yet so far . Castaway as strangers are . This island earth . And you and me E.G.

Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know |

7. | The Restless Seas | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Did we persist in misery and grief Tasting a glance of the bold A thousand days of fates untold And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Ruling the light, we gave our lonely hearts Addicted fiends, through weakened weeps and woes The sight of fear, trading in for faith Eternal thirst to lead the circling hate And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Shattered at base, the lies that we breathe And from the restless seas I’m born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind’s trace ... |

8. | Phallic Tantrum | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
No more... Harassed Hearts Primeval wings of solitude The cross has saved the soil Traces given to sinister moods Cavity of hate Unborn faith, scorn beneath The quest for death Gold built the mortal feat Into the phallic tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear Infinite space No dreams of sleep of death Humane, cold embrace Concepts of might and reign The apocalyptic raids Shadows over the hearts beneath Calls that forever fade Their visions betrayed Into the Phallic Tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear |

9. | A Kiss or a Whisper | 03:05 | Show lyrics |
By masquerade of sleep madness ever lures Resting soul’s rebirth, denying the depths of fear Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A thousand cries in pain, spread beneath the fall A kiss glowing above, feeding upon the heart Spells... on glory they ride from within Light, as they seed hate onto the path Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A kiss or a whisper Floods of hate without relief for all sinister sleep Shadows of eternal belief Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind |

10. | Vanity | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
Deep within my bleeding heart Stranded by the hold of fear Agony takes a final role Sipping the dew of tears Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs Surrender, dance and cry Their Tormented eyes perceive Grasps of fright, lusters crawl Tarnished grounds of faded beliefs Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs |

I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing will Drive them away We can beat them Just for one day We can be Heroes Just for one day And you You can be mean And I I’ll drink all the time ’Cause we’re lovers And that is a fact Yes we’re lovers And that is that Though nothing Will keep us together We could steal time Just for one day We can be Heroes For ever and ever What d’you say I I wish you could swim Like the dolphins Like dolphins can swim Though nothing Will keep us together We can beat them For ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes Just for one day I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing Will drive them away We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be us Just for one day I I can remember Standing By the wall And the guns Shot above our heads And we kissed As though nothing could fall And the shame Was on the other side Oh we can beat them For ever and ever Then we can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We’re nothing And nothing will help us Maybe we’re lying Then you better not stay But we could be safer Just for one day |

1. | Idols of Chagrin | 04:10 | Show lyrics |
What kind of race, lack of direction Just how lunatic, to have a nature so deceit Bewail my reverie, a gambol untried Lure of carnality and silence in forfeit Animals, enslaved to pearls of fictionalized worth Creatures, born from caves into simulated mirth I’m talking, Idols of Chagrin Born of posession, complacement in disguise Craving and candid, as to defy the character’s fall The kisses you drain, pedestrian pedigree What’s thought is pain might be desire after all |

2. | A Descent to Babylon (Babylon Asleep) | 04:28 | Show lyrics |
Babylon asleep, an everlasting foe Striving to hurt, for flesh becomes dirt Resting within, the sacred fire I can’t withold, the lies untold Dances and cries, a descent to Babylon Wine in my hand, a descent to Babylon All eyes must foul, in stench of fear Killing to quench, Babylon’s tears We are wisphering for holy wine Innocence to reign, a world of shrines This crazy dream, raging over ages For only one belief. Killing - Suffer for a thought In human blood, stretched out A descent to a 1000 deaths As sweet as snow, as cold as dew A descent to a 1000 deaths. Babylon asleep |

3. | Return to the Eve (Studio Jam) | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes, hope to return As shadows fall, onto distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back to my reality Subconscious depreates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind, captive of illusion Remain awake, is just dust! (.."Take my soul away into the dark, dreaming 1000 morbid dreams, no tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind, could I ever return..it would be my doom..") Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss ground ..Endless fall, memories in the light frontiers of chaos, Return to the EVE... |

4. | Juices like Wine (Rerecorded) | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
Thirst and desire, to rule the light For crossing heavens, a futile fight Bound to storm, our minds wave Fervent to sail in deserts of mist Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine Born of earth, we strive for skies Obsessed with lies, in arms of sleep Earning dreams, we blind our eyes Challenging secrets, ancient the cries Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine |

5. | The Inevitable Factor | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories Below 0, I’m turning blue Why does the ice burn so hot Frozen waters, a strange land I know I live, as the frost bites My eyes are closed, but I can’t sleep Moving forward, for sleep means death A white shroud covers me I buried myself to stay alive Time’s passing slow on my pale face Beneath the snow, beneath the ice I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories |

6. | The Heart Beneath | 03:52 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leapsereos An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

7. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

8. | Under Apollyon’s Sun | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
The face of Nemesis Under pandemonium’s heat Parched my yearning whisper In this world of deceit To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs All their pain bears their name Ignorance dies by its own lies Tears of indignation Crying under Apollyon’s sun In faith for love Underground, a dream apart Flesh from soil Disparate, no less the same Sift my tears The lasting spring We were raised to fade To deluge by carnal claims To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs |

9. | The Usurper (Rerecorded) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

12. | In the Chapel in the Moonlight | 02:07 | Show lyrics |
How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I’d love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine |

13. | I Won’t Dance (The Elders Orient) (Radio Edit) | 03:51 | Show lyrics |
I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey into a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

1. | Idols of Chargin | 04:10 | Show lyrics |
What kind of race, lack of direction Just how lunatic, to have a nature so deceit Bewail my reverie, a gambol untried Lure of carnality and silence in forfeit Animals, enslaved to pearls of fictionalized worth Creatures, born from caves into simulated mirth I’m talking, Idols of Chagrin Born of posession, complacement in disguise Craving and candid, as to defy the character’s fall The kisses you drain, pedestrian pedigree What’s thought is pain might be desire after all |

2. | A Descent to Babylon | 04:28 | Show lyrics |
Babylon asleep, an everlasting foe Striving to hurt, for flesh becomes dirt Resting within, the sacred fire I can’t withold, the lies untold Dances and cries, a descent to Babylon Wine in my hand, a descent to Babylon All eyes must foul, in stench of fear Killing to quench, Babylon’s tears We are wisphering for holy wine Innocence to reign, a world of shrines This crazy dream, raging over ages For only one belief. Killing - Suffer for a thought In human blood, stretched out A descent to a 1000 deaths As sweet as snow, as cold as dew A descent to a 1000 deaths. Babylon asleep |
|||
3. | Return to the Eve | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes, hope to return As shadows fall, onto distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back to my reality Subconscious depreates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind, captive of illusion Remain awake, is just dust! (.."Take my soul away into the dark, dreaming 1000 morbid dreams, no tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind, could I ever return..it would be my doom..") Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss ground ..Endless fall, memories in the light frontiers of chaos, Return to the EVE... |
|||
4. | The Heart Beneath | 03:52 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leapsereos An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |
|||
5. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

6. | Juices like Wine | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
Thirst and desire, to rule the light For crossing heavens, a futile fight Bound to storm, our minds wave Fervent to sail in deserts of mist Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine Born of earth, we strive for skies Obsessed with lies, in arms of sleep Earning dreams, we blind our eyes Challenging secrets, ancient the cries Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine |

7. | The Inevitable Factor | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories Below 0, I’m turning blue Why does the ice burn so hot Frozen waters, a strange land I know I live, as the frost bites My eyes are closed, but I can’t sleep Moving forward, for sleep means death A white shroud covers me I buried myself to stay alive Time’s passing slow on my pale face Beneath the snow, beneath the ice I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories |

7. | Cherry Orchards (Radio Edit) | 04:04 | Show lyrics |
Dancing violet dreams. Joining nights of satin fame. Acting jewel games. All forgiven, you streak my heart. More than pleasure in ice cold flames. Crying soft, as love flies tame. Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Winter’s final shine. Dressing gold, one last time. Seep from lace. Roses for an unborn face. More than pleasure in ice cold flames. Crying soft, as love flies tame. Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline.

9. | Wings of Solitude | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions’ enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

10. | The Usurper (Rerecorded) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

12. | Downtown Hanoi (Rerecorded) | 04:12 | Show lyrics |
Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

13. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion Circle of the tyrants The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam Circle of the tyrants The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

14. | In the Chapel in the Moonlight | 02:07 | Show lyrics |
How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I’d love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine |

15. | I Won’t Dance (The Elders Orient) (Radio Edit) | 03:51 | Show lyrics |
I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey into a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

16. | The Name of My Bride | 04:33 | Show lyrics |
Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again |

1. | Idols of Chagrin | 04:10 | Show lyrics |
What kind of race, lack of direction Just how lunatic, to have a nature so deceit Bewail my reverie, a gambol untried Lure of carnality and silence in forfeit Animals, enslaved to pearls of fictionalized worth Creatures, born from caves into simulated mirth I’m talking, Idols of Chagrin Born of posession, complacement in disguise Craving and candid, as to defy the character’s fall The kisses you drain, pedestrian pedigree What’s thought is pain might be desire after all |
|||
2. | A Descent to Babylon (Babylon Asleep) | 04:28 | Show lyrics |
Babylon asleep, an everlasting foe Striving to hurt, for flesh becomes dirt Resting within, the sacred fire I can’t withold, the lies untold Dances and cries, a descent to Babylon Wine in my hand, a descent to Babylon All eyes must foul, in stench of fear Killing to quench, Babylon’s tears We are wisphering for holy wine Innocence to reign, a world of shrines This crazy dream, raging over ages For only one belief. Killing - Suffer for a thought In human blood, stretched out A descent to a 1000 deaths As sweet as snow, as cold as dew A descent to a 1000 deaths. Babylon asleep |
|||
3. | Return to the Eve (studio jam) | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes, hope to return As shadows fall, onto distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back to my reality Subconscious depreates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind, captive of illusion Remain awake, is just dust! (.."Take my soul away into the dark, dreaming 1000 morbid dreams, no tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind, could I ever return..it would be my doom..") Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss ground ..Endless fall, memories in the light frontiers of chaos, Return to the EVE... |
|||
4. | Juices like Wine (re-recorded) | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
Thirst and desire, to rule the light For crossing heavens, a futile fight Bound to storm, our minds wave Fervent to sail in deserts of mist Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine Born of earth, we strive for skies Obsessed with lies, in arms of sleep Earning dreams, we blind our eyes Challenging secrets, ancient the cries Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine |

5. | The Inevitable Factor | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories Below 0, I’m turning blue Why does the ice burn so hot Frozen waters, a strange land I know I live, as the frost bites My eyes are closed, but I can’t sleep Moving forward, for sleep means death A white shroud covers me I buried myself to stay alive Time’s passing slow on my pale face Beneath the snow, beneath the ice I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories |
|||
6. | The Heart Beneath | 03:52 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leapsereos An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |

8. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

10. | The Usurper (re-recorded) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

12. | Downtown Hanoi (re-recorded) | 04:12 | Show lyrics |
Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I’d love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine |

15. | I Won’t Dance (The Elders Orient) (radio edit) | 03:51 | Show lyrics |
I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

The face of Nemesis Under pandemonium’s heat Parched my yearning whisper In this world of deceit To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs All their pain bears their name Ignorance dies by its own lies Tears of indignation Crying under Apollyon’s sun In faith for love Underground, a dream apart Flesh from soil Disparate, no less the same Sift my tears The lasting spring We were raised to fade To deluge by carnal claims To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs |

1. | Idols of Chagrin | 04:10 | Show lyrics |
What kind of race, lack of direction Just how lunatic, to have a nature so deceit Bewail my reverie, a gambol untried Lure of carnality and silence in forfeit Animals, enslaved to pearls of fictionalized worth Creatures, born from caves into simulated mirth I’m talking, Idols of Chagrin Born of posession, complacement in disguise Craving and candid, as to defy the character’s fall The kisses you drain, pedestrian pedigree What’s thought is pain might be desire after all |

2. | A Descent to Babylon (Babylon Asleep) | 04:28 | Show lyrics |
Babylon asleep, an everlasting foe Striving to hurt, for flesh becomes dirt Resting within, the sacred fire I can’t withold, the lies untold Dances and cries, a descent to Babylon Wine in my hand, a descent to Babylon All eyes must foul, in stench of fear Killing to quench, Babylon’s tears We are wisphering for holy wine Innocence to reign, a world of shrines This crazy dream, raging over ages For only one belief. Killing - Suffer for a thought In human blood, stretched out A descent to a 1000 deaths As sweet as snow, as cold as dew A descent to a 1000 deaths. Babylon asleep |

3. | Return to the Eve (Studio Jam) | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes, hope to return As shadows fall, onto distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back to my reality Subconscious depreates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind, captive of illusion Remain awake, is just dust! (.."Take my soul away into the dark, dreaming 1000 morbid dreams, no tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind, could I ever return..it would be my doom..") Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss ground ..Endless fall, memories in the light frontiers of chaos, Return to the EVE... |

4. | Juices like Wine (Rerecorded) | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
Thirst and desire, to rule the light For crossing heavens, a futile fight Bound to storm, our minds wave Fervent to sail in deserts of mist Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine Born of earth, we strive for skies Obsessed with lies, in arms of sleep Earning dreams, we blind our eyes Challenging secrets, ancient the cries Juices like wine, like the blood in the sands Juices like wine |
|||
5. | The Inevitable Factor | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories Below 0, I’m turning blue Why does the ice burn so hot Frozen waters, a strange land I know I live, as the frost bites My eyes are closed, but I can’t sleep Moving forward, for sleep means death A white shroud covers me I buried myself to stay alive Time’s passing slow on my pale face Beneath the snow, beneath the ice I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories |
|||
6. | The Heart Beneath | 03:52 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leapsereos An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |
|||
7. | Cherry Orchards (Radio Edit) | 04:04 | Show lyrics |
Dancing violet dreams. Joining nights of satin fame. Acting jewel games. All forgiven, you streak my heart. More than pleasure in ice cold flames. Crying soft, as love flies tame. Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Winter’s final shine. Dressing gold, one last time. Seep from lace. Roses for an unborn face. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. |

8. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

9. | Wings of Solitude | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

10. | The Usurper (Rerecorded) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

12. | Downtown Hanoi (Rerecorded) | 04:12 | Show lyrics |
Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I’d love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine |

15. | I Won’t Dance (The Elders Orient) (Radio Edit) | 03:51 | Show lyrics |
I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey into a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

16. | The Name of My Bride | 04:33 | Show lyrics |
Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom’s warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I’m Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I’m Abel, maybe I’m not But as sure as hell I know that I’ll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know |

The face of Nemesis Under pandemonium’s heat Parched my yearning whisper In this world of deceit To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs All their pain bears their name Ignorance dies by its own lies Tears of indignation Crying under Apollyon’s sun In faith for love Underground, a dream apart Flesh from soil Disparate, no less the same Sift my tears The lasting spring We were raised to fade To deluge by carnal claims To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs |

Swelling tears in diaries of lies. Fading lights, as songs die quiet. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. Bleeding sweet for dying blind. Masking fears of silent decline. Cherry Orchards. Ginger looks upon pain. Cherry Orchards. August fades like tears in vain. |

8. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

9. | Wings of Solitude | 04:40 | Show lyrics |
I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions’ enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

10. | The Usurper (Rerecorded) | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

Four arc lights. Moving stealth. Two ride up north. Into the barrel fear. Desire to share. My valiant care. Downtown Hanoi. We are drowning in purple wine. Standing as one, as one we line. Gold and light did stop their dance. A fever obscene, a wicked romance. I’m tasting sweat on my tongue. Fane of wicked green. Faith to the heart. Passion and death. Downtown’s breath. |

After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion Circle of the tyrants The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam Circle of the tyrants The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey into a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

The face of Nemesis Under pandemonium’s heat Parched my yearning whisper In this world of deceit To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs All their pain bears their name Ignorance dies by its own lies Tears of indignation Crying under Apollyon’s sun In faith for love Underground, a dream apart Flesh from soil Disparate, no less the same Sift my tears The lasting spring We were raised to fade To deluge by carnal claims To lie, to cry, they die To drown in their well of sighs |

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. I drown in ashes you’ve enshrined. Of blissful days long gone by. Concealed behind my dying eyes. This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed.

A pallid sun sheds dimmest glow. On mute and pallid soil. I am the one, a life long gone. A refuge raped in search of life. Like a shadow on this earth. In embraces pale as human flesh. I am unborn, and I’m undone. How much of me is lost. I deny my own desire. I deny my own desire. Lying one among the liars. I deny my own desire. Dark in darkness I can see. Nothingness is blinding me. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. I’m drowning in this sea. For those I loved I hurt. So you taketh from me. My name untold and numb. I deny my own desire.

Somewhere inside. It’s still obscured. Darkness reflects. Stronger than fear. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone.

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

10. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

6. | Obscured | 07:05 | Show lyrics |
Somewhere inside. It’s still obscured. Darkness reflects. Stronger than fear. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. |

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

5. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb.

Somewhere inside. It’s still obscured. Darkness reflects. Stronger than fear. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone.

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain.

I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

I am you. Stillborn. Into this state of being numb. I am the temple and the sacrifice. The shrine, entombed within lies all I am. And you, the womb from whence I came. I am you. If I am you, no life is sacred in my hands. If I am you, no love will prosper in this world. If I am you, I am the faith to end all faith. If I am you, you shall not live to save yourselves.

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry.

Somewhere inside. It’s still obscured. Darkness reflects. Stronger than fear. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone.

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. There is no God but the one that dies with me. I have no life but the one I take with me to the grave. We come into this world alone.

I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

10. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

I am you. Stillborn. Into this state of being numb. I am the temple and the sacrifice. The shrine, entombed within lies all I am. And you, the womb from whence I came. I am you. If I am you, no life is sacred in my hands. If I am you, no love will prosper in this world. If I am you, I am the faith to end all faith. If I am you, you shall not live to save yourselves. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie. I live your life not for you. I am a throne made from dust. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie.

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. I drown in ashes you’ve enshrined. Of blissful days long gone by. Concealed behind my dying eyes. This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed.

And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone.

7. | Domain of Decay | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

Lay thy hand on the neck of thine enemies. Devour their flesh with thy sword. Bring down the slain from among thine adversaries. They shall fall to rise no more. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Let thy wrath consume all of thine enemies. Scourge them with flames of fire. Lay thy feet on the pile of those slain by thy mysteries. We shall be cleansed by their blood. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful... Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Thus said the Lord: I am Sabaoth. Feel my holy wrath. I am glorified. I cannot be denied. I am he who is. Punishment for wickedness. I am the one you dread. You are as good as dead. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. There is no God but the one that dies with me. I have no life but the one I take with me to the grave. We come into this world alone. And we will die on our own. I live. I die. Ain Elohim. |

9. | Totengott | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

10. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

I am you. Stillborn. Into this state of being numb. I am the temple and the sacrifice. The shrine, entombed within lies all I am. And you, the womb from whence I came. I am you. If I am you, no life is sacred in my hands. If I am you, no love will prosper in this world. If I am you, I am the faith to end all faith. If I am you, you shall not live to save yourselves. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie. I live your life not for you. I am a throne made from dust. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie.

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. I drown in ashes you’ve enshrined. Of blissful days long gone by. Concealed behind my dying eyes. This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb.

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh.

Feel my holy wrath. I am glorified. I cannot be denied. I am he who is. Punishment for wickedness. I am the one you dread. You are as good as dead. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. There is no God but the one that dies with me. I have no life but the one I take with me to the grave. We come into this world alone. And we will die on our own. I live. I die. Ain Elohim. |

4. | Totengott | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

5. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

I am you. Stillborn. Into this state of being numb. I am the temple and the sacrifice. The shrine, entombed within lies all I am. And you, the womb from whence I came. I am you. If I am you, no life is sacred in my hands. If I am you, no love will prosper in this world. If I am you, I am the faith to end all faith. If I am you, you shall not live to save yourselves. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie. I live your life not for you. I am a throne made from dust. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie.

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

I am a dying God, coming into human flesh. I am a dying God, coming into human flesh. I am a dying God. Frozen my heart. Frozen my soul. Frozen my love. I am a dying God, coming into human flesh.

My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. I drown in ashes you’ve enshrined. Of blissful days long gone by. Concealed behind my dying eyes. This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed.

A pallid sun sheds dimmest glow. On mute and pallid soil. I am the one, a life long gone. A refuge raped in search of life. Like a shadow on this earth. In embraces pale as human flesh. I am unborn, and I’m undone. How much of me is lost. I deny my own desire. I deny my own desire. Lying one among the liars. I deny my own desire. Dark in darkness I can see. Nothingness is blinding me. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. I’m drowning in this sea. For those I loved I hurt. So you taketh from me. My name untold and numb. I deny my own desire. I deny my own desire. Lying one among the liars. I deny my own desire. Where I am there is no thing. No God, no me, no inbetween. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abysmi. Os abyss. I deny my own desire.

Somewhere inside. It’s still obscured. Darkness reflects. Stronger than fear. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. |

Somewhere inside. It’s still obscured. Darkness reflects. Stronger than fear. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. Tied to the ground. In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. And so it fades. And I know that I won’t escape. My remaining faith is draped. Like my hurt and my fleeting grace. In this numbing empty space. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. |

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. There is no God but the one that dies with me. I have no life but the one I take with me to the grave. We come into this world alone.

I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

11. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

I am you. Stillborn. Into this state of being numb. I am the temple and the sacrifice. The shrine, entombed within lies all I am. And you, the womb from whence I came. I am you.

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. I drown in ashes you’ve enshrined. Of blissful days long gone by. Concealed behind my dying eyes. This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed.

In mounting shade. My soul is bound. And so it fades. I seize control to inhale this final day. I shut my mind but I’m falling anyway. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone.

I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone.

Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

Lay thy hand on the neck of thine enemies. Devour their flesh with thy sword. Bring down the slain from among thine adversaries. They shall fall to rise no more. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Let thy wrath consume all of thine enemies. Scourge them with flames of fire. Lay thy feet on the pile of those slain by thy mysteries. We shall be cleansed by their blood. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful... Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Thus said the Lord: I am Sabaoth. Feel my holy wrath. I am glorified. I cannot be denied. I am he who is. Punishment for wickedness. I am the one you dread. You are as good as dead. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. There is no God but the one that dies with me. I have no life but the one I take with me to the grave. We come into this world alone. And we will die on our own. I live. I die. Ain Elohim. |

4. | Totengott | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

5. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

I am you. Stillborn. Into this state of being numb. I am the temple and the sacrifice. The shrine, entombed within lies all I am. And you, the womb from whence I came. I am you. If I am you, no life is sacred in my hands. If I am you, no love will prosper in this world. If I am you, I am the faith to end all faith. If I am you, you shall not live to save yourselves. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie. I live your life not for you. I am a throne made from dust. I bring no God, no afterworld. I am no more than a lie.

I am hatred, seeping blood. The rain, the flood, the grief. I am rage becoming flesh. A dismal, ravaged life. This is pain, a wall of tears. And my tears are my truest friends. This, my heart, a dying sun. A flower fading to black. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? In this darkness, called my mind. The waste you left for me. I’m your shit, your verbal smut. Your twisted world recapped. This is you, your lifeless soul. Your sick and fucked-up lies. In my world your love is death. Your disease, your skin that burns. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. You tied my limbs and buried me alive. And piled this frozen mud. You watched me die with lustrous eyes. As all your words grew stale. You mocked my care and stained my mind. You yearned for me to fail. Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God, why have you forsaken me? Oh God. |

My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. I drown in ashes you’ve enshrined. Of blissful days long gone by. Concealed behind my dying eyes. This hell of anger and weary lies. A frame of mind, a dismal soul. My final womb, this flesh turned cold. You held me down and let me bleed. My love, it died, along with me. Along with me. My wound, my cry. A world of scars and caresses pale. And thoughts as chaste as pristine dew. And flowers placed across your face. I trace the life I’ve lost with you. This bleakest pit that you’ve unveiled. I hate to love as it is pain. My hands are cut but I still sail. An ocean of sadness in the rain. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed. My flesh, my blood. My wound, my cry. My broken back, my all now dies. My soul, my tomb. My pain, my joy. My darkest mind, my love destroyed.

I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. No, no, no, no And I think that I’m all alone. I can feel the rain pull me down again. No, no, no, no And I know that I have no home. I can feel the pain take a hold again. |

7. | Domain of Decay | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
Within these darkest walls. As I write these lines. In this domain of decay. Words fall on the soil beneath. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. Within these darkest walls. How can I be human? They say they are blind. Smearing ashes across glass. Enfold, embrace, besiege, swathe. My domain. My domain. My domain. My domain. In this forest of harbored thoughts. There’s demons in my mind. And I entrust myself to the lure. Of leaving this existence behind. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. Enfold my domain. Besiege my domain. |

8. | Ain Elohim | 07:33 | Show lyrics |
Lay thy hand on the neck of thine enemies. Devour their flesh with thy sword. Bring down the slain from among thine adversaries. They shall fall to rise no more. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Let thy wrath consume all of thine enemies. Scourge them with flames of fire. Lay thy feet on the pile of those slain by thy mysteries. We shall be cleansed by their blood. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful... Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. Thus said the Lord: I am Sabaoth. Feel my holy wrath. I am glorified. I cannot be denied. I am he who is. Punishment for wickedness. I am the one you dread. You are as good as dead. Tetragrammaton. Thy wrath inflame my passion. Tetragrammaton. Against all sinful flesh. There is no God but the one that dies with me. I have no life but the one I take with me to the grave. We come into this world alone. And we will die on our own. I live. I die. Ain Elohim. |

9. | Totengott | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
I have never heard his voice nor have I ever seen his form. Yet still he casts his dark shadow on the light of my being. Death - Negation of being. Wraith of inner sanctum. Apparition of my amorphousness. Solemnity of my disembodiment. Death - Decay. Creator of corpses. Principle of annihilation. Secret of negativity. Unspeakable silence. Despairing monologue. |

10. | Synagoga Satanae | 14:23 | Show lyrics |
Internalized conflict externalized as war. Hymning thy rebellion Lucifer morning star. Bringer of light, forever shrouded by night. I am hell, a sulphurous lake of fire and suffering. My blackened heart is a writhing mass of poisonous snakes. Grotesquely slithering as I slowly shed my dying skin. In darkness. Thou shalt come unto me. In darkness. Thou shalt worship me. In darkness. Thou art mine eternally. Thy curse. All of my lies. Be blessed. Lord of the flies. Scapegoat. Shunned and despised. My church is my sacrifice. Follow after me into the halls of my damnation. I wield death like a scythe, reaping my annihilation. A monarch enthroned upon my throne of guilt. I am hell, a barren shrine to decay and neglect. Uninhabitable, the darkened depths of cold empty space. My necropolis, the catacombs and tombs of disease. Monumental, the fallen temple of dead deities. My necrolog, an eternal curse lost in the abyss Et vidi de mare bestiam ascendentem. Habentem capita septem et cornua decem. Et super cornua eius decem diademata et super capita eius nomina blasphemiae. Rise. Synagoga Satanae. Lies. Lucifuge Rofocale. Absoluter Höllenzwang. Mein infernaler Opfergang. Ein auferstanden Ungetier. Festgenagelt tief in mir. Ich allein bin mein. Ein nichts. Verdorben mein Name. Mein Leid mein Reich. Mein Wille mein Fluch. Über mich und außer mir. Täglich hungert mein Leib. Und dürstet meine Seele aufs Neue. Ich trage die Schuld. Wie ich ertrage die Beschuldigungen. Ich bin in Versuchung. Und kenne keine Erlösung. Denn mein ist das Leid. Die Wut. Und das Streben. Bis zum Tod. Amen. Bow down before thy lord below. I shall rise. I shall rule in blasphemy. And in the end when thou art mine thou will be like me. In saecula saeculorum. In stagnum ignis et sulphuris. |

Years of plead, behind the walls Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright Unspoken words, in pain and dread 140 lives passed his hands Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darkened at their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail "The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls on her chains The blind phantom rages Azag-Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ethers edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws" Winds emerge from the east Deep dark water moves Even the cold moon eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes In chaos Tiamat laughs in pride. Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail |

Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |

After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH!

Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |

Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |

Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |

The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

2. | Into the Crypts of Rays | 03:39 | Show lyrics |
Years of plead, behind the walls Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright Unspoken words, in pain and dread 140 lives passed his hands Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Alluring children for his masses Robbing and buying young souls Sacrifice to morbid demons Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... "So this is for the morbid one, The braveless and sick Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs Sexual offence and perverted rites Watching them limp and die... Wizards and darkness, Gilles’ dreams Halfway came true..." As a late medieval’s French marshall Unrestrained, with endless ambitions Personal guard for Jeanne d’Arc ...the rising of his soul to god... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... Overdone mysticism and Desperate Satanism (Ha!) Are just one small step apart There’s no human scheme in the beyond... Gilles de Rais... the perverted son The holy man... hanged by nobility Into the Crypts of Rays... |

3. | Morbid Tales | 03:29 | Show lyrics |
By burial this night Nitocrys weaves the spell Down the vault’s misty light The lurking Sphinx dwells Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they noan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one In the nuclear domain Arcades lost in eternal skries Written by the insane Nitocrys orders must Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they moan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one Are you morbid? Mummy’s rebirth by wrath Below the temple of Nile Vanished in Osiris’ path Above us reigns the Necrophile Agony and nightmare To Yog Sothoth they moan Nightfall, morbid affair Bear the faceless one Morbid Tales |

4. | Procreation (of the Wicked) | 04:04 | Show lyrics |
You are blind - Deny the sun and light Whose are the objections - From where come the doubts Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked Serenades of opposition - Absurdity, human’s fate and hope True reflections of community - Procreation of the gods and lords Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked Cain and Abel’s love and death - Love and hate is what we are and were Dagger and grail have- Fallen off the altar Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked If god raised the abyss - you’d procreate your own Abolism of death is - Abolism of life "Mysteries of perversity" "I’ve killed this old man, because he limped I’ve done it because he shouldn’t have to do it" Evidence of infinity Procreation of the wicked Twist of the known Procreation of the wicked |

5. | Return to the Eve | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
Dreaming eyes Hope to return As shadows fall onto Distorted paths Delivered from the fetters of light Drifting back into my reality The subconscious deprecates the day In the twilight of my own intellect Dull is my mind Captive of illusion Remaining awake Is just dust Take my soul away into the dark Dreaming a thousand morbid dreams No tomorrow when the wind caresses my mind Could I ever return, it would be my doom Obsessed by the nightmare’s sound Drifting back into the realms of chaos Reality has become my dream I’ll be covered by the abyss’ ground An endless fall Memories in the light Frontiers of chaos Return to the eve |

6. | Nocturnal Fear | 03:39 | Show lyrics |
Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darkened at their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail "The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls on her chains The blind phantom rages Azag-Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ethers edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws" Winds emerge from the east Deep dark water moves Even the cold moon eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes In chaos Tiamat laughs in pride. Seven they are - Yeziti’s call Aeon of night - Eager to prevail |

8. | The Usurper | 03:26 | Show lyrics |
Lend me your steel-bearing hand So I may reign the Jewel Throne My soul feels the gods’ demand As the lost kings uphold my side [Chorus] Blood and sand Mark their way The usurper’s tears Guide my sword... Fantasia slept in my thoughts As I was a son of infinity The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams As, back to the wall, I start the conquest Innocence and wrath Now lie far beyond As we cross the deserts To reach the fortress’ gates Tragical serenades Are whispered in the wind As eyes in fury Grant us our strength (They’re) throning on the dignity of might But the successor is to enter the hall False truth saw them climbing the steps But I remain the Jewel Throne’s choice |
|||
9. | Dawn of Meggido | 05:44 | Show lyrics |
Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust The cross has failed/You won’t see the coming fall A diviner’s fire and soil Flames, like flowers, like blood Fires of freedom, flowers of doom A surface of hateful hope [Chorus] Oh subjects of pain Lovers of death You will feel The yearning flames Flames like tongues - like cries Pant for kisses - For bites Seven steps - And we’re one Humilated - In human thoughts The frost, it bites/Your inner heart Frozens the flame/ln every eye The lord will come/Broken ice The fire will burn/Gleaming ways Well never be reborn Prenatal death’s redeemed (our lives) (Into his hand) we demand our hearts The lord and we are one |

10. | Circle of the Tyrants | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant’s the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant’s might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will (ever) see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows |

11. | Fainted Eyes | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Try to see through fainted views As reality disappears in haze A journey between eternal walls ... UGH! The senses unfold before my eyes As the endless dreams begin to reign And my hands slip off the edge UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Drifting in the streams of wisdom While recognizing all those banal tales Sin beyond truth, (I see) glimmering splinters UGH! Encountering my past in flickering whispers While they drown behind their frontiers And the rulers sink in agony UGH! [Chorus:] The waters grow dumb While they descend behind Fainted eyes Fallacy and false idols Unbelievable is the human direction But the screams die away in the distance UGH! Try to see through fainted views But the dust still covers all my dreams I wouldn’t tell you anyway ... |
|||
12. | Necromantical Screams | 06:03 | Show lyrics |
Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Is there life beyond death? You entreated death, the answer will come Oebris of faith, even you are false Immortal morals, catch up with time Vault of darkness, filled with hate [Chorus] Deny life, addiction to death Procession of damnation, expulsion of light Hazardous ways into the rush Soul is frozen and flesh is weak Necromantical screams Only you are deaf Intelligence is mute ... Respect and thoughts, buried long ago Pleading for the end, blind and dumb We won’t feel, there could be more I will remain alone in the dark ... only you are deaf |
|||
13. | Jewel Throne | 04:02 | Show lyrics |
Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow I’m the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe We left the falling walls as the stars’ collapse began Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries |
|||
14. | Eternal Summer | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
The pyramids tremble, darken the sun, (the) sky tums red They reached the wall of no return (and the) breeze has stopped Who wore the crown will never be known - might is broken For all we’ll drown into the sand - what will remain? Inverted horizons, denied truth and blinded eyes The Titans arise, the monuments fall, we cannot halt Wishful pleads at last came true, some always knew The clouds burn - or is it fire? ... the gods wince Human pride and megalomania - The Titans watched it all The trace led to nowhere - Wrath had to come As ushers at the gates - To ecstasy and excess AII turn their backs - They won’t give us any rest (The) fires won’t redeem, illuminated’s the night - the eternal summer When they came high from the sphere on shrieking wings ... Now they’re trapped to the ground, to heat and dust And the eye is glowing above ... |

1. | Suicidal Winds | 04:38 | Show lyrics |
Listen As the mist is rising And uncovers all that’s lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way I’m leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I’ll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity |

2. | Visual Aggression | 04:15 | Show lyrics |
Thousand decades in vain (Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the past sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I’ve been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you’ll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don’t ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet’s tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher’s eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There’ll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression |

3. | Mexican Radio | 03:30 | Show lyrics |
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder And the touch of a world that’s older Turn the switch and check the number Leave it on, in bed I slumber Hear the rhythm of the music Buy the product, never use it Hear the talking of the DJ Can’t understand, what’s he say? I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio Dial it in, tune the station They talk about U.S. inflation I understand just a little No comprende - it’s a riddle I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio Wish I was in Tijuana Eating barbecued iguana I’d take requests on the telephone I’m on a wavelength far from home I feel the hot wind on my shoulder I dial in, south of the border Hear the talking of the DJ Can’t understand, what’s he say? I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio Radio Radio Radio What does he say? I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio I’m on the Mexican radio ... |

4. | Inner Sanctum | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs ... The shadows of the dead, My waken eyes may never see, Surround my bed That from which they sprung - eternity Beneath the turf The silent dead Sleep brings no wish to knit My harrassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death Death is my joy I long to be at rest I wish the damp earth covered This desolate brest Beneath the mould The silent dead But the glad eyes around us Must weep as we have done And we must see the same gloom Eclipse their morning sun Oh not for them - Should we despair The grave is drear - But they’re not there Their dust is mingled - With the sod Their pale souls - Are gone, to god Well, may they live in ecstasy Their long eternity of joy At least I wouldn’t bring them down With me to weep, to groan And what’s the future A sea beneath the cloudless sun A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea Stretching into infinity My inner sanctum R.I.P |

5. | Tristesses de la Lune | 03:00 | Show lyrics |
Ce soir la Lune reve avec plus de paresse Ainsi qu’une beaute sur de nombreux coussins Qui d’une main discrete et legere caresse Avant de s’endormir le contour de ses seins Sur le dos satine, des molles avalanches Mourante elle se livre aux longues pamoisons Et promene ses yeux sur les visions blanches Qui montent dans l’azur comme des floraisons Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa longueur oisive Elle laisse filer une larme furtive Un poete pieu ennemi du sommeil Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale Aux reflets urizes comme un fragment d’opale Et l’amener de son corps loin des yeux du Soleil |

6. | I Won’t Dance (The Elder’s Orient) | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
I did taste their only dream As denial was still unborn Secrets beyond those dethroned walls And echoes of a martyr’s scream Deterrent vibrates the allurements face As my barque drowns toward conquest Don’t quieten the elder’s tears For they’ve forseen our past Covered lies our remembrance As symbols turn to dust I won’t dance I won’t dance I won’t dance within despair I won’t dance The elder’s orient Journey lnto a wicked world My body beneath the skies Erotic wishes, my heart has failed Incalculable is the surface’s breath Paralyzed form - the ring of death Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy Caress of the mental space Thrones of fake life Eternal addiction towards those eyes (Gods) didn’t you believe my earthbound call? Slipping into the hidden sun Intoxicated by an endless fall |

7. | In the Chapel in the Moonlight | 02:05 | Show lyrics |
How I’d love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we’re strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I’d love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I’ll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I’d love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine |

8. | The Inevitable Factor (Alternative Vox) | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories Below 0, I’m turning blue Why does the ice burn so hot Frozen waters, a strange land I know I live, as the frost bites My eyes are closed, but I can’t sleep Moving forward, for sleep means death A white shroud covers me I buried myself to stay alive Time’s passing slow on my pale face Beneath the snow, beneath the ice I stalk alone the burried seas Dead and white, weak memories |
|||
9. | The Heart Beneath | 03:49 | Show lyrics |
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow’s light won’t disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear |
|||
10. | Wine in My Hand (Third from the Sun) | 03:28 | Show lyrics |
They’re sleeping through the ages Faces bare of names Remembrance ever lies At the Bosom of the insane Death’s cold embrace Across the restless seas Unfolding the wish to forget The eyes of the deceased Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Third from the sun The heart of death A thought for fake desires Starving through the night Engulfed in an earthbound fire Left all alone among the dances and cries They seed all the hate Within the shade of sights Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun... |

11. | Wings of Solitude | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
I’m sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude |

12. | Nemesis | 07:49 | Show lyrics |
Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain |
