The road behind is crumbling
Time is paved by agony
So many signs before me
The way ahead I cannot see
So many things that I long for
The way ahead it ceased to be

Tears of strive are falling
A reasons shine arises
Obsessive thoughts are calling
Ideas just strange devices [x2]

Temptation all around me
Shall I resist Shall I give in
Might it is the answer
Tell me the question to begin
Buried in time and history
Not to strive is a sin

Tears of strive are falling
A reasons shine arises
Obsessive thoughts are calling
Ideas just strange devices [x2]

Desire it defeats me
Distorted pictures of my life
An uncertain liquid
The pool in which I have to dive
Drowned by insane imaginations
All what's left I have to strive

Tears of strive are falling
A reasons shine arises
Obsessive thoughts are calling
Ideas just strange devices [x2]

All my desire are the flames of the eternal fire
Strange winds of time killed the flames
Blew out all the was mine

My heart was
My soul was
Neverending source
Of Devotion
And Spirits
Unbroken Force
Creation my hearts purpose
Devotion my souls bane
In the end it fades away

All my desire are the flames of the eternal fire
Strange winds of time killed the flames
Blew out all the was mine

His heart was
His soul was
Impending doom
Of desperation
And submission
Undying Bloom
All that I tried to reach
An Imortal bond
In the end it fades away

All my desire are the flames of the eternal fire
Strange winds of time killed the flames
Blew out all the was mine

All my trust
All my pain
Wasted hopes
Never
Will I Hunger
For this again
Take this curse from me
Let me walk alone
In the end all fades away

All my desire are the flames of the eternal fire
Strange winds of time killed the flames
Blew out all the was mine

The chandeliers light
The mirror's glance
A shine not to bright
An emotion of romance

Mighty mirrors reflect the nobles proud bleed
Golden chests contain the rich men wealth
Sepulchral darkness surrounds the mind
Lustrous slk hides the poor flesh

The one who got my favour,
Already dressed in purple blood
Our steps are leaving a red trail,
In the circle of my dance

A green eyed man enters the hall
His white skin awakes the red coloured dream
Crackling tunes of breaking bones
The warm liquid, it is my delight

Voiceless screams surround my head
my body fills with new life
Renewing force flows through my veins
Elated music supports the corpse dance

My mind between day and night
good and evil like two sides
of a coin made of madness
sometimes dark sometimes bright
Innocence and guilt only shapes
of a game I cannot win
lust and despise only pattern
no one to blame
My mind as gloom as a cave
as dark as a grave

Strength and weakness only schemes
not to care, killed myself
long time ago
no one for the guilt to share
The end of the game now it is quite near
I confess the guilt I'm afraid I cannot bear

My mind as gloom as a cave
as dark as a grave

Death the only border left to cross
to escape my fate
how many slaugther will there pave
the way to this gate

Now the road is paved enough blood is spilled
the path is gone...my fate fulfilled
the gate in front of my eyes
where sweet salvation lies

I always had to play along
the cruel game it's over now...
no remorse, no fame
but the end is mine

My spirit's rising
my mind is falling
my soul is burning
sweet salvation

The flames are licking at my shanks
pain screams through my mortal body
there's my tortured soul
there's my evil spirit

Fanatic greeds stands in their eyes
as my body turns to ashes
and my soul is free
the evil spirit is now theirs

My spirit's rising
my mind is falling
my soul is burning
sweet salvation

"You're welcome my children of the Night
to my world of chaos...
sanity is just a weird form of madness...
open your pity souls
and taste the power of my dark spirit..."

The ashes scattered in the mists of time
the blood spilled in the meadow dried since long ago
how I long to own such power
perhaps I will obey the dark spirit's call

Is this torture never ending,
is this pain inside me real
is this the price to pay
overwhelming lust all I feel

He leads my steps to the ancient darkwell ground
a reflection of my image
cold water starts to move...with a scary sound
in the well the spirit rises

Is this torture never ending,
is this pain inside me real
is this the price to pay
overwhelming lust all I feel

Offer your soul my child
take it Lord

give it to me now
I'm only yours

swear your oath to me
I swear

you're one of my creatures now
why the pain doesn't end

Is this torture never ending,
is this pain inside me real
is this the price to pay
overwhelming lust all I feel

Take them o'death
And bear away
Whatever thou canst
Call thine own

Thine imagine stamped
Upon this clay
Doth give thee that
But that alone

Take tem o'great eternity
Our little life is but a gust
That bends the brenches of thy tree
And trails it's blossoms in the dust

Take them o'grave and let them lie
Folden upon thy narrow shelves
As garments by the soul laid by
And precious only to ourselves

In this world full of winded corridors
Cities like maces towers like thorns
I'm not my master, not at all
Cursed thoughts lead me to my fall

Broken thoughts
Broken hearts
Broken dreams

Darkness is falling, over my mind
My burning eyes are, deadly blind
Now there's nothing like it seem
All illusion, only dreams

Broken thoughts
Broken dreams
Broken hearts

This realm of darkness
Is this my reward
This realm of darkness
This is my reward

Lines of time, drawn to an end
constants of fate, never thought to be bent
the fields of destiny already are prepared
failure and glory are not to be shared

The human's spirit is now free
forever gone all agony
all rules are crumbling to dust
absurd beliefs gone in a gust

In the eyes of an angel a heavenly glare
on the other side a demonic stare
the wings of light face the winds of time
the wings of darkness in a blistering line

The human's spirit is now free
forever gone all agony
all rules are crumbling to dust
absurd beliefs gone in a gust

The armies clashing at each other on the plains
twisted features frozen on an angel's face
demon's corpse dissolves in a blaze of flames
good and evil disappear in a void

The human's spirit is now free
forever gone all agony
all rules are crumbling to dust
absurd beliefs gone in a gust
