01. Eternal Damnation

[Instrumental]

02. The End Of It All

Breaking down the Earth
No chance for rebirth
Everyone will die
even you and I

I won't be a slave
who's digging his own grave
like all the others
Don't turn your back on your brothers

Now it's too late
to change our fate
Someday the rain
will wash away the pain

Time is running out
and there's no return
We are the dying race
and we will burn
Every spirit will be gone
and mankind will fall
Cause this is the end of it all

We all love and hate
destroy and create
The future is well-known
Dust will turn to stone

Madness and insanity
Prisoners without a key
Trapped here in Paradise
But no one ever realizes

Now it's too late
to change our fate
Someday the rain
will wash away the pain

Time is running out
and there's no return
We are the dying race
and we will burn
Every spirit will be gone
and mankind will fall
Cause this is the end of it all

Time is running out
and there's no return
We are the dying race
and we will burn
Every spirit will be gone
and mankind will fall
Cause this is the end of it all

03. Prince Of Agony

Rising up from the ashes
The ashes of the past
Out of a fairytale he comes
The Prince of Darkness
He has returned
to make all your wishes come true

He's watching you everywhere you go
The master from deep below

Prince of Agony
Coming from the underworld
Prince of Agony
Possessing your soul
Prince of Agony
In your darkest dream
Prince of Agony
He will make you scream

Collecting souls
in a magic stone
Cause he holds the power of the world
So be aware
the black sorcerer
He's waiting for you in the shadows

He's watching you everywhere you go
The master from deep below

Prince of Agony
Coming from the underworld
Prince of Agony
Possessing your soul
Prince of Agony
In your darkest dream
Prince of Agony
He will make you scream

He's watching you everywhere you go
The master from deep below

Prince of Agony
Coming from the underworld
Prince of Agony
Possessing your soul
Prince of Agony
In your darkest dream
Prince of Agony
He will make you scream
On The Edge

I've got a monkey on my back
and my soul feels like a wreck
Screaming voices in my head
Sometimes I wish that I was dead

Flying so high
into a toxic sky
On a trip to Hell
To the sound of the judgment bell

Still on the edge
of another breakdown
Alone in the dark
I'm lost in a dream
Still on the edge
of another shakedown
Facing destruction
with one foot in the grave

With a blade against my wrist
In this world that makes me so pissed
I was a master, I was a king
Now my angel's got a broken wing

Flying so high
into a toxic sky
On a trip to Hell
To the sound of the judgment bell

Still on the edge
of another breakdown
Alone in the dark
I'm lost in a dream
Still on the edge
of another shakedown
Facing destruction
with one foot in the grave

Still on the edge
of another breakdown
Alone in the dark
I'm lost in a dream
Still on the edge
of another shakedown
Facing destruction
with one foot in the grave

04. On The Edge

[Instrumental]

05. Into The Abyss

Standing on the edge, and I'm looking down
Into the darkness, everywhere and all around
I see people fall and lose their grounds
Another war and another thousand deaths
Everyday the streets are painted red
So many homeless without a bed

I can't believe it's true
The end for me and you
O, Lord please tell me what to do

We are facing the final hour
The end of the suffering
The last page of the final chapter
You see the world fade away
Mother Earth has been torn apart
Not even God can save us now
But we are the children of the night
So hang on tight
Cause we are falling
into the abyss

Schoolchildren shoot and kill just for fun
Young kids feel unsecure without a gun
You take your aim and then you try to run
Unstable psycho high on dope
pulls the trigger and then he uses the rope
Lost in a freak show without a hope

I can't believe it's true
The end for me and you
O, Lord please tell me what to do

We are facing the final hour
The end of the suffering
The last page of the final chapter
You see the world fade away
Mother Earth has been torn apart
Not even God can save us now
But we are the children of the night
So hang on tight
Cause we are falling
into the abyss

We are facing the final hour
The end of the suffering
The last page of the final chapter
You see the world fade away
Mother Earth has been torn apart
Not even God can save us now
But we are the children of the night
So hang on tight
Cause we are falling
into the abyss

06. Thunderspirit

You've got to look deep inside
and let your inner demons out
Don't be afraid of what you see
in the mirror of your soul

The only dream I've ever known
Slowly fading away
Dark horizons are closing in
It's time for the Gathering

Follow the forest
The Moon will guide the way
Through the darkness
Through the Gate of Eternity

Thunderspirit, ride with me
Rise up from the grave
Thunderspirit, set me free
Show the way to the kingdom of the brave

Here I stand all alone
and I don't know which way to go
But somehow I will arise
on Resurrection Day

Follow your heart
Spirit and might in the name of Victory
Bring me hope to carry on
O, mighty Thunderlord

Follow the forest
The Moon will guide the way
Through the darkness
Through the Gate of Eternity

Thunderspirit, ride with me
Rise up from the grave
Thunderspirit, set me free
Show the way to the Kingdom of the Brave

Thunderspirit, ride with me
Rise up from the grave
Thunderspirit, set me free
Show the way to the Kingdom of the Brave

07. Wanted Man

To the sound of shotgun fire
he rides into the horizon and disappears
like a ghost in the night
like a shadow without a place to find some peace

He's on the run
He is a real son of a gun
But there's no turning back

He's a wanted man
a long way from home
He's a wanted man
His name is Young Blood

On a trail to the shady land
And he's hunted by the lawman right behind
He tried to prove his innocence
But all he got was another bounty on his head

On the run
He is a real son of a gun
But there's no turning back

He's a wanted man
a long way from home
He's a wanted man
His name is Young Blood

He's a wanted man
a long way from home
He's a wanted man
His name is Young Blood

08. Lost N' Alone

Sitting here just a lonely man on my bed
I just can't get you out of my head
Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a dream
and the world just can't understand what I mean

Take me far away
Take me today

I'm lost in loneliness
I feel so cold
I'm lost in emptiness
I need somebody to hold
Cause I'm lost; that's what I am
I'm just a lonely man
Who's lost n' alone

With a little hope and my guitar
I'm wondering how I made it so far
Cause without your love, I'm just hanging on
to the only dream I've got, now you're gone

Take me far away
Take me today

I'm lost in loneliness
I feel so cold
I'm lost in emptiness
I need somebody to hold
Cause I'm lost; that's what I am
I'm just a lonely man
Who's lost n' alone

Take me far away
Take me today

I'm lost in loneliness
I feel so cold
I'm lost in emptiness
I need somebody to hold
Cause I'm lost; that's what I am
I'm just a lonely man
Who's lost n' alone

09. Forever Evil

Come take my hand
and leave the past behind
The Armies of Evil await
You were betrayed
Now, take your revenge
And strike them down with your hate

From the grave you will arise
reborn with sinister eyes
See them suffer, see them burn
Now there is no return

Forever evil
In darkness we ride
Forever Evil
In Hell we unite
Forever Evil
No turning back
Forever Evil
The Devil in black

Disciples of death
Are sent to destroy
And bring souls down here to me
I will show you the world
Deep down below
I promise you will be free

From the grave you will arise
reborn with sinister eyes
See them suffer, see them burn
Now there is no return

Forever Evil
In darkness we ride
Forever Evil
In Hell we unite
Forever Evil
No turning back
Forever Evil
The Devil in black

Forever Evil
In darkness we ride
Forever Evil
In Hell we unite
Forever Evil
No turning back
Forever Evil
The Devil in black

10. Here And Alive

Stars are shining in the night
The ancient sky shines so bright
Will I find eternity
Find the way to my destiny
I'm not a mystery, or a wicked man
To tell you the truth I don't give a damn
Cause I'm the one, I will be strong
Show them all that they are wrong

I will search until I reach my destination
On a ride to the final station

Here and alive, here and alive
I was born to survive
Cause I'm here and alive, here and alive
No time to say goodbye
I'm here and alive

Unchained I will arise
Embraced by the holy skies
I will make them pray
Never will I fade to grey

I will search until I reach my destination
On a ride to the final station

Here and alive, here and alive
I was born to survive
Cause I'm here and alive, here and alive
No time to say goodbye
I'm here and alive

Here and alive, here and alive
I was born to survive
Cause I'm here and alive, here and alive
No time to say goodbye
I'm here and alive
Miracle

The preacher once said
we have to open up our eyes
find a way, make all realize
the end is near so tie the rope
we need a miracle, it's our only hope

But I believe that there still is a little time
for us to change before the world turns to dust

We need a miracle
to save us all from judgment day
A miracle we need
I still believe in a miracle
The time has come for us to pray
for a miracle

The writings on the wall
and the ancient prophecies
tell us the story of a destiny
Every man has to pay for his sins
Say goodnight before the nightmare begins

But I believe that there still is a little time
for us to change before the world turns to dust

We need a miracle
to save us all from judgment day
A miracle we need
I still believe in a miracle
The time has come for us to pray
for a miracle

We need a miracle
to save us all from judgment day
A miracle we need
I still believe in a miracle
The time has come for us to pray
for a miracle

12. The Price Of Blood

Waiting in the darkness
Waiting for your soul
Time to pay the price
The price of blood
Don't try to hide away
cause the only place to stay
is deep down in the dirt
That's the price of blood

It's growing stronger every day
The bad conscience in his head
Never thought it would be like this
The pain is tearing him apart
Just a little stupid mistake
turned out to be a nightmare for life
Now he's the one who's suffering
The Devil is waiting right behind

Hunted by the memories from the past
Horror visions of the bodies he once smashed

Waiting in the darkness
Waiting for your soul
Time to pay the price
The price of blood
Don't try to hide away
cause the only place to stay
is deep down in the dirt
That's the price of blood

Time is running out
Now will he be free at last
from this terrorizing hell
he's been trapped in for so long
A trip to the other side
to the world deep below
Now will he ever find some peace
or will his soul forever burn

Hunted by his memories from the past
Horror visions of the bodies he once smashed

Waiting in the darkness
Waiting for your soul
Time to pay the price
The price of blood
Don't try to hide away
cause the only place to stay
is deep down in the dirt
That's the price of blood

Waiting in the darkness
Waiting for your soul
Time to pay the price
The price of blood
Don't try to hide away
cause the only place to stay
is deep down in the dirt
That's the price of blood
