That night, I cursed in fire
What should've been our hope
When you fell down, all my screams were cold
I carried our life on my deathbed
Like a queen, I gave all my blood
To kill the sight of my dying world

Since he was born, he was said to be the Chosen One
The prophecy was a lie - all hope is gone
Now he must face another path - visions undone
So dark that he's feared by all - darkness has won

My path was bound by your fate
And we heeded its call
No wise or fool could foresee your fall
My illusions drowned in your last smile
In the end, I hope you'll join me
Two orphans of what was meant to be

Since he was born, he was said to be the Chosen One
The prophecy was a lie - all hope is gone
He turned his gaze from the light - visions undone
Fear is now his sole ally - darkness has won

The sun goes down
Their lives begin to fade away
Their spirits drown
Heading for a darker day
The ancient kings
Will haunt these catacombs

Their souls will fly

The supreme reign
Now part of history
The bloody rain
All over their territory
The desert war
Is pictured in the sand

The drawing of agony

Haunting the nights
Treasured kingdom
Of the ancient kings

Rise!
Fall...

The battle scars
Will be mummified
Under the stars
Bodies will putrefy
An evil spell
Shall be taking lives

Even in our times

2007 - nothing has really changed
The beast still roars in the Middle-East
They count their dead
To see who wins the game

The blood of all

Haunting the nights
Treasured kingdom
Of the ancient kings

Rise!
Fall...

That hate is in my head
That hate is in my mind
All I see is darkened by your shadow
You're a friend in sorrow

That hate is my poison
That hate is my anger
All my joy is pain
All my joy is pain!!!

Hypnotize me and let me dream in the lostlands
Follow me through the path of despair
Don't try to escape from the mirror that faces you
For eternity, the hate will grow in you

That hate is in my veins
That hate is in my soul
Does it care when I lose my head?
Does it smile when I'm in pain?

That hate is my passion
That hate is my power
All my smiles are stitched
All my smiles are stitched!!!

The hate will grow in you!

I see my face in the mirror
I see my shadow on the wall
Am I crazy? Am I lazy? Am I stupid?
Am I wrong? Am I right?

Oh man, you must be strong
'Cause trust can prove you wrong
Feel the words of this song
The pain remains, but not for long

You see where it all started
Feeding your wounds with hatred
Giving up is for the dead
Live it up for what's been said!

Nothing is real but the pain inside
Suffer the loss of your own pride
Keep fighting for what you've been denied
You cannot win without a fight

Stop thinking about deceptions
And start taking actions
You've had your share of treasons
Get revenge with passion

Nightmares won't be erased
Until all hell is raised
Climb the walls that have been laid
And smile at those who have betrayed

Now you can stand tall
The giant of your cause
Smiling at everyone
It's now so fun!

You think you've seen it all
You think it can't be worse
You just need to carry on
And see where you belong

Everything is real but the pain inside
Feel the rebirth of your own pride
Keep fighting for what you feel is right
You'll never win without a fight

You can't win without a fight!

Waking up in a trance
A nightmare full of romance
Make the darkest alliance
While the skeletons dance
Covered up with spiders
And countless creepy creatures
The bites eat you like fire
Your hand becomes the vulture

Take the road of the soulless zombies
Or sip the life of the sleeping beauty
Run away from the fierce wolfking
To meet the crow at the edge of the abyss

Have no fear...

Catch the broom of the wicked witches
Crawl your way out of a bath of leeches
Taste the evil the modern evil
And face the fear before your heart stops beating

Have no fear...

The rebellion of the mind
The sickness of time
Those dreams are better left alone
Untouched and veiled

Between sleep and waking
Stands the gentile sacred vice
Vultures' cold perfume
Invading my barren feelings

What are you now?
Infested by pity
Painting faces with a rusty knife

Why is there so much blood in my cloudy dreams?
I must be dreaming or why am I walking?
My twisted mind, my sinful times
Are my allies in darkness

Between sleep and waking
Only desperate cries to dance to
Blinding consciousness
Death screams like my twisted flesh

What has been done cannot be erased
All that beauty will remain a mystery

Wake up!

Speak the truth and tell them
Your secrets of the underworld
Tell them the stories of the ancients
Give them the will, give them the lore
To play among immortals
Don't let them be a prey
We fear them...

In a cloudy dream, I saw you soar
Such beauty I could not ignore
Though I had sworn there would be no more
I turned you into what I abhor

And after bleeding me
You must survive in me
And take the flower from the pain
Your life plunged into me
My soul's a blinding sea
Of wandering hours in the rain

Give them the key, play with their fates
Cries of their eternal founts
Is there a way to end their sorrow?
I've tasted your blood
It gave me life, it gave me the strength I need
To hunt the night for centuries
We fear them...

But this power that they lure
Strangely mine and frightfully yours
Is it bound to make them pure
Or will twilight forever endure?

I only trust my fate
I only believe in what my eyes see
I will find my way in my abyss of disbelief

I only love myself
I only live in darkness
All these years I was lying & dying in my abyss of disbelief

You are my friend, Misery
You live in me, Misery
You think like me, Misery
You'll die with me, Misery

Hail to you, my shadow
Live my downfall - follow my path

Six feet under... The worms!
Be the witness - I'm falling from grace

You are my friend, Misery
You live in me, Misery
You think like me, Misery
You'll die with me, Misery

Hail to you, my shadow
Live my downfall - follow my path

Six feet under... The worms!
Be the witness - I'm falling from grace

Leave me alone, Misery
You won't control, Misery
Obey my rules, Misery
Are you myself, Misery?

Are you me?

Rainy faces of mine
My steps behind
Chanting to me
Mournings of fragile yestersigns

By stabbing my own back
Telling lies, how to act
I'm feeding a weakness
That is biding my time

As empty as those who pour
Confidence on a grieving mime
In this room full of me
I perish in a tombstone dance
My own ardent genocide
Reliving any wounded glance
Released in the wink of a hyde

Backstaring into doubt
Missing link of today
I should fade away
To the cause of my birth

Life-line spitting luxury
At the drownings of what I'm worth
Send love to me if you dare
Priceless second-handed care
Cranked-out the nothing me
It seems to me
I'm only haunted by myself

Gonna hang the Pierrot today
Gonna lock the jesters' slay-room
Make it all work and no play

Then make the white of this groom
Crimson the bloom and turn to gray
Can someone shove me back soon?

Summed-up friends, threw them away
Released in sad rhymes from this tune
Where do my hopes stand from that day

And no play... me back soon... from that day

Comfort from my box or cheers from the crowd
I need a detox from those silent shouts
Heaven or cell - the clown keeps the clouds
My orphaned hell is only ups and downs

Returning I'm not yet gone
My ragged world from their pain
Adds a water side to my sun

Now all warmth is down the drain
The tourniquet can carry on
And maybe I can breathe again

The clown is back from Babylon
His makeup running through his veins
Is this really where I come from?

To my sun... breathe again... I come from

All work and no play makes Jack a doll boy
