01. Mind Diary

Vast space, directed signals
Blackness beyond belief
Clear message, soul in torment
Fatal error, the human factor
Computer science, cold and strict
Tube nutrition, vitamin X
Metal casing, coffin appearance
Feeling the comfort
Meet the brothers who share your fate
Eons of time
Expendable beings

Make me feel
Drain my life again (cry no more)
Leave me be (I will ease your pain)
Faceless beings
Exploring my mind (light your life)
Let it end (rely in our warmth)

Plastic life
Surrounding darkness
A first-class betrayal
Read my mind diary

Dreamless pain, artificial sleep
Unreliable briefing
Assignment starts, never ends
Trauma thoughts, recorded in cortex
Connecting the reader
Giving judgment, bring sentence, committer will pay
Ancient story, bleeding memories
Greeting the void, dim the light
Outer limits, my final frontier

Eons of time
Expendable beings
Lost, cold, and lonely
Read my mind diary

02. Darkest Legacy

I'll show you anger
A new world of madness
You cannot hear, the gods are calling
Embrace your darkest side
Embrace your father
You are the one we have been waiting for

Still here, still you're breathing
Our sacrifice for the quest
The bringer of darkness
Rising
From the past we know
The keeper of darkness

Oh
What a sin

Don't try to deny the bond
Destined to be the one
You shall not fear the darkest legacy
A world consumed by violence
You cannot understand
You are the one that we've been longing for

Still here, still you're breathing
Our sacrifice for the quest
The bringer of darkness
Rising
From the past we know
The keeper of darkness

I need, I bleed, for you
Your seed will grow to rule

Still here, still you're breathing
Our sacrifice for the quest
The bringer of darkness
Rising
From the past that we know
The keeper of darkness

Still here, still you're breathing
Our sacrifice for the quest
The bringer of darkness
Rising
From the past that we know
The keeper of darkness

03. Cloak & Daggers

Lurking through the halls, a viscous entity
Searching for the mark
Task is bittersweet, has no concern to him
Reward me and I'm yours

The higher council rules me, security and fear
Bleeding for them, then ignore them, vacancy at hand
My loyalty's been paid for, now benefit all my skills
Stealth and focus made my journey clean

Fall, bring forth the new messiah

A new philosophy, scaring high and low
Conservative behavior
Erase all signs of fate, let them dwell in silence
Society will heal

The higher council rules me, security and fear
Bleeding for them, then ignore them, vacancy at hand
My loyalty's been paid for, now benefit all my skills
Stealth and focus made my journey clean

Fall, bring forth the new messiah
Crawl, no efforts, leave it be

Ruler of Hellas, beware of the changes
Your life's not precious, our state will prevail
Many before you tried to evolve, resistance is futile

The higher council rules me, security and fear
Bleeding for them, then ignore them, vacancy at hand
My loyalty's been paid for, now benefit all my skills
Stealth and focus made my journey clean

Now fall, bring forth the new messiah
Now crawl, no efforts, leave it be

04. Pain In Blood

Who can we trust? Feels like no one
Acting like you and me
Hibernating in their cells
They are biding their time

Forever waiting for salvation
Life has no sense of being kind and caring
Creating death

Sacrifices paid in blood
Religious revolution
We are fighting holy wars
It's a suicide solution

No one can see it nor understand it
Strapped to their bodies
The will to die, a sacrifice
In the name of the prophet

Senseless killing, heartless behavior
The innocent wounded
It's time to close the door for freedom
Freedom exists no more

Sacrifices paid in blood
Religious revolution
We are fighting holy wars
It's a suicide solution

Following mindless leaders
Speaking words of hatred
Slaying the infidels
By dying themselves

Sacrifices paid in blood
Religious revolution
We are fighting holy wars
It's a suicide solution
Sacrifices paid in blood
We are fighting holy wars
It's a suicide solution

05. The Silence Within

Man of a thousand faces
Skin-deep personalities
Don't know which one to be
One step closer to insanity
Solitude in a padded room
Straitjacket memories
Suffering a Thorazine diet

Sedative eyes
Silent screams
Another sleepless night
Praying for
The return of light

Look into the mirror
See the madness in your eyes
The mirror tells no lies
The silence within

Sanity now is beyond you

Voices echoing deep inside
Haunted by dreams
Within these walls it's safe to stay
Locked in forevermore
Bed straps in a room so cold
Drifting further away
Into a never-ending nightmare

Silent screams
Another sleepless night
Praying for
The return of light

Look into the mirror
See the madness in your eyes
The mirror tells no lies
The silence within

Silent screams
Another sleepless night
Praying for
The return of light

Look into the mirror
See the madness in your eyes
The mirror tells no lies
The silence within
Look into the mirror
See the madness in your eyes
The mirror tells no lies
Silence within

06. One Silent Moment

A misty evening, one silent moment
A candle burning, two innocent souls shared their love
Suspicious feelings, a feel of wonders
The nightly wind breeze suddenly turned to fear and chaos

A call for mercy, no understanding
Freedom's a memory, still jailed with no guilt
A woman's crying, when soldiers coming
Her will to stop this, a hopeless feeling

She's left behind, the curtain fell down
She cried out his name
So many questions yet to be answered
Empty surroundings

Crying, calling
Faded lights and shadows
She was praying, begging
Mercy will be shown

Remembering the days when love showed the way
Through hard times and misery
Suddenly alone, wondering why

Alive, but in what shape?
Locked in a cold, grey cell
Her face was on his mind
Tried so hard to convince he's innocent

She's left behind, the curtain fell down
She cried out his name
So many questions yet to be answered

Crying, calling
Faded lights and shadows
She was praying, begging
Mercy will be shown

Crying, calling
Faded lights and shadows
Praying, calling his name

07. Alogoas

Inside a green, little house
No sunshine reaches the floor
She came from Africa
So tight her hands were tied
To a worn, wooden chair
She arrived from Africa

By a boat she traveled far
In a cage like an animal
Whips and chains, crying her eyes out
No sun below the deck
No chance of escaping
She lived in Africa

Tonight she's left alone
Healing her scars again
She closes her eyes (why?)

Thinking about the children
My fate they're gonna share
Work the days, abused at night
I want, I want my...

Africa
I'm trapped in a house in a land without hope
There's no way out of here
Endless crying and I raise my voice
Save the young ones sorrow and pain

Let them out, let them play
Let them out, let them play

She wanted to believe in the rumours
That reached the door

A village was built
For some 20,000 people
By slaves from Africa

If they only knew that her brother died
A day before the question
It wasn't meant to be

No freedom, no runaway
No slave that she could follow
To the border of Alogoas

The smell of death is here
A squalid, dreadful time
She closes here eyes (oh why?)

Self-destructive thinking
Her crave for lust is gone
Work the days, abused at night
I want my...

Africa
I'm trapped in a house in a land without hope
There's no way out of here
Endless crying and I raise my voice
Save the young ones sorrow

Border of Alogoas
Children without a childhood
No freedom, no games to play
Children of innocence

Let them out, let them play

Tonight she's left alone
Healing her scars again
She closes her eyes (oh why?)

Self-destructive thinking
Her crave for lust is gone
Work the days, abused at night

Africa
I'm trapped in a house in a land without hope
There's no way out of here
Endless crying and I raise my voice
Save the young ones sorrow

In a land without hope
There's no way out of here
Endless crying and I raise my voice
Save the young ones sorrow and pain

08. Static

I cannot believe the words
Spoken by a voice
From the other side
It's calling
You have to listen to the warning
You will be dead tonight
They are waiting for your soul
Can you hear it?

Hear the warning
It's for real
You will see everything

Can you see them, restless spirits?
From beyond they're crossing over
Legion's army, ready to rule our world
Through the white noise they will reach you
Coming for you through the static
Electronic voice phenomenon

The static

Rising from the depths of hell
Legion is their name
Evil, the demons, are coming
There's a gateway they will enter
Our world will be theirs to rule
You'll need to disconnect forevermore

Hear the warning
It's for real
You will see everything

Can you see them, restless spirits?
From beyond they're crossing over
Legion's army, ready to rule our world
Through the white noise they will reach you
Coming for you through the static
Electronic voice phenomenon

Legion is their name (through the static)

Hear the warning
It's for real
You will see everything

Can you see them, restless spirits?
From beyond they're crossing over
Legion's army, ready to rule our world
Through the white noise they will reach you
Coming for you through the static
Electronic voice phenomenon

Can you see them, restless spirits?
From beyond they're crossing over
Legion's army, ready to rule our world
Through the white noise they will reach you
Coming for you through the static
Electronic voice phenomenon
Static

09. Fragile

Descending
A malicious airborne virus
The wind will change
Whose bells it's really calling
We need some faith along the way

An utter feeling reaches my mind
Do I have the spine to stay?
Like the troops are sent away, with a flag and with a lie
We want to live another day in this world

Fragile, we are living in this world

So scary
The way we have to dress today
An underground shelter
We are trapped in a room
We have to share the load

Awaiting clearance, awaiting broadcast
I want my troubles washed away
Like the troops are sent away, with a flag and with a lie
We want to live another day in this world

Fragile, we are living in this world

Awaiting clearance, am I dreaming?
I want my troubles washed away
Like the troops are sent away, with a flag and with a life
We want to live another day in this world

Fragile, we are living in this world

10. Eyes Of Jealousy

She'd set the world on fire
Words turned into lies
She tried to hide her anger
Doesn't care
She's alone in silence
No tears, neither smiling
She tried to close her eyes

No lies, she's being honest
Everyone looked down at her
If she could cry, she'd scream in anger
Chances are mad to take a risk for

She tried to carry on
Rumors spread by liars
She used to be so loved
Jealousy, surrounded
Emotions trembling

Sacrificed her freedom
Many dreams came true
So lonely and abandoned
Her smile left her face
Kept the fire burning
Determined to stand tall
Tried to close her eyes

What's the prize? Her sacrifice
Refused to share her inner secrets

The eyes of jealousy
Her inner secrets

Oh, was there a way to let go?
Oh, she needed encouragement

No lies, she's being honest
Everyone looked down at her
If she could cry, she'd scream in anger
Chances are made to take a risk for

Visions, guiding
Shadows clouded her
Smiling, mourning
Shining, glowing
She's always followed her heart
Jealousy tried to pull her down

Dreaming of kindness
Emotions in motion

No lies, she's being honest
Everyone looked down at her
If she could cry, she'd scream in anger
Chances are made to take a risk for
She tried to carry on

Oh, was there a way to let go?
Oh, she needed encouragement

No lies, she's being honest
Everyone looked down at her
No lies, she's being honest
Everyone looked down at her that night

Eyes of jealousy

11. Ritual Of The Blade

In charge of the legions
Warlord living to serve
Living by the master's call
Hesitation's just a word

Raised for a purpose
Zero parental guidance
Blood-red rising sun
The symbol, the mark, the foretold path

Raised with the sword as a brother
Respect the steel, living as one
A sharp love with uncuttable bonds
Ritual of the blade

Ritual
A katana blessing, disgrace
The sin above all
Companion, seals the faith

Honor's the life force
Gives fuel to the fire
Bleeding shows passion
Bringing down souls, write courage in blood

Superiority by greater strength in loyalty
Decades without failure
Pleasure in victory beats the fear

At last all the gods lift their hands
Take away all their grace
Alone with the blade to face the deeds
Ritual of the blade

Ritual
A katana blessing, disgrace
The sin above all
Companion, seals the faith

Oh, disgrace
Oh, seals the faith

Ritual of the blade

Ritual
A katana blessing, disgrace
The sin above all
Companion, seals the faith

Ritual

12. Justice

Eyes open wide
No one sees the world like it is
So many lies, corrupted
Everything's a matter of fact

We're ego-minded humans
We claim we strive for justice
The bottom line is different
It's all about winning in the end

There's no justice
No compassion
Who cares if someone's falling?
So much hatred
Lying faces
In this game we play
No one caring
No one sharing
All true love's in the mirror
Human's lying
And denying
That we're fooled by innocence

Justice

Jealous minds
Smile at others' failures
Grand success
Increasing poisoned words
It's all in vain
Begging for understanding
The game we play
A charade of our existence

There's no justice
No compassion
Who cares if someone's falling?
So much hatred
Lying faces
In this game we play
No one caring
No one sharing
All true love's in the mirror
Humans lying
And denying
That we're fooled by

There's no justice
No compassion
Who cares if someone's falling?
So much hatred
Lying faces
In this game we play
No one caring
No one sharing
All true love's in the mirror
Humans lying
And denying
That we're fooled by innocence
Begging for understanding
