02. Gods Of Vermin

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai / Tijs Vanneste
Decay of mind comes gradually
It keeps creeping up my spine
Just a human's life deficiency.

I am a god of vermin
I want to disappear
What reason can I find, what reason can I find?
Swallowing the things I can't control.

What happens when they come and violate my inner sun?
What happens when they try to smother all behind their eyes?
Will I still justify those goddamn lies?
I had control.

It grows inside
The brave divine
Inhale - deny - the stains inside.

The angel comes inside
The words he silent sighs.

What happens when they come and violate my inner sun?
What happens when they try to smother all behind their eyes?
Will I still justify those goddamn lies?
I had control.

[3x]
It grows inside
The brave divine
Inhale - deny - the stains inside.

03. A Blind Man's Resolution

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai / Tijs Vanneste
Control, they hold on to this ray of light.
Their mind's cheating the old frames of time.

And they all fear our freedom inside

Like a blind man's resolution to see again
But the truth lies beyond the sun. (Resolution)

Denied to go down the streets unrestrained
This right to walk without saying my name.
What they do is raise capacity
To observe the hive's affinities.

And they all fear our freedom inside
Pushing on until all chances have died.

Like a blind man's resolution to see again
But the truth lies beyond the sun. (Resolution)

(We are gods, we don't save, we don't save)

Like a blind man's resolution to see again
But the truth lies beyond the sun. (Resolution)
His attempt of retribution, consistently
Is a threat to society.

04. Fallen Family

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai / Simone Simons
I dislike your uniform 'cause you're just too stiff
Were you like that the day you were born or did you
Change just recently?
Nature does rule in anarchy just watch the children play
The system creates its enemy to grab our throats
At the end of the day

We're drifting followers of a vile philosophy.
I am a child terrified by the hand leading me.

It's the Fountain of Youth
In a Garden of Sickness
It's a place where you lose
All your rights for forgiveness

I'm contributing day by day to this society
Searching for a better way but the flesh is weak.
My reflection in a shard - staring back at me.
It's a fucked up heritage, it's a fallen family.

We're drifting followers of a vile philosophy.
I am a child terrified by the hand leading me.

It's the Fountain of Youth
In a Garden of Sickness
It's a place where you lose
All your rights for forgiveness

Pretending innocence the court is drowning its doubts.
Let the kings pay off for this.
The corpses sway to the final dance.

05. The Piper

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai / Tijs Vanneste
Searching the hills afar, unbroken grounds.
Tasting the scent of vine, tongue's lullaby.

He ascended from earth's dark embrace,
Sulphuric spawn.
So he blended into man's mundane ways
And decided to wait.

Why do they say that despite all the laughter
Every man feels some sadness inside.
Don't know if it's true but I'm bound to believe it,
Taking their children into summer's night.

He took them all
His hungry soul
Their spirit's innocence.

Obedience
The piper's hands
Play melodies divine.

Why do they say that despite all the laughter
Every man feels some sadness inside.
Don't know if it's true but I'm bound to believe it,
Taking their children into summer's night.

Maybe it's time for my soul's own salvation
Even the haunted feel sadness inside
Don't know if it's true but I'm bound to receive it
Thus this pretension is unspoken right.

06. Wheel Of Guilt

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai
With deep trust in every word you reach out for life.
Resounding remembrance of an old existence, of a lost existence.
You've been sent by angels then you strive for decay.

Resounding remembrance of an old existence, of a lost existence.
You've been sent by angels then you strive for decay.

Complications - it's just dislocated turbulence
Allegations - to deny what you forgot
It's just self-defence, to put meaning into dust
Start to lick your wounds and let corpses here to rot.

So you will see your father's sin
When the old man's tale's been put to rest again.

And when the Wheel of Guilt's been started
They just didn't see that a circle has begun

Like a snake biting her tail.

Confrontations - chase the dogs until you're out of breath
You're misbehaving, you dig deep into the mud.
I wonder what for you are talking about life and death
Because you're shaking, I just want it all to stop.

So you will see your father's sin
When the old man's tale's been put to rest again.

And when the Wheel of Guilt's been started
They just didn't see that a circle has begun.

Like a snake biting her tail.

[2x]
I feel like pretending
I feel like no ending
I feel like controlling
But I can't find.

[2x]
So you will see your father's sin
When the old man's tale's been put to rest again.
And when the Wheel of Guilt's been started
They just didn't see that a circle has begun.

Like a snake biting her tail.

07. Belial's Tower

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai
Icentious feasts they've started
Malicious incantations
Collected hate to bind the night

Their fragile souls they've buried
The breath of life has faded
Four Crown Princes of Hell

Remember, I took Isaiah's bane
I'm stirring when my disciple's pray.
I hear them cry out for ecstasy

Beyond the Gates of Mayhem
Lies insanity - Tower of Belial.

I followed streets full of pain, full of anger
I sought for the traces once more.
Invading the tombs with a martyr's intention
My limbs all but tired and sore

Remember, I took Isaiah's bane
I'm stirring when my disciple's pray.

Remember, I took Isaiah's bane
I'm stirring when my disciple's pray.
I hear them cry out for ecstasy.

Beyond the Gates of Mayhem
Lies insanity - Tower of Belial.

Remember, I'm waiting patiently
With fading lights they come to comfort me.
And I came so far but you're gonna fall.

Lord of Lies, let us kindle your pride
Wading through the blood for the final fight.

We walk those streets to scare them out
We honour your sins, it's your name we shout

Remember, I'm waiting patiently
With fading lights I take their sanity
And I've got what they were yearning for
They gonna die, join my majesty

08. Fall Of Byzanz

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai
Gold-sprinkled servant, east-roman child
Like God's own creation, where the blisters of ages in glory subside.
Speaking of wisdom, speaking of pride,
I stare down the bridges and conjure up the old heart of mankind.

Justinian's children saw the coming of the Osman Foray.
Failing allegiance no friend in need, so that's what they say.

They build a bridge to heaven
To see the Word unfold.
But seeds of disillusion
Were planted in sand, to blossom in enemy's land.

When bloodshed has started, the siege began.
A clash of religions, as some failed conversations brought death in the end.
Thinking about sadness, thinking about pain
I still hear the echoes, paradise shattered by steel-bladed rain.

The prophet's disciples went for battle and for heaven's reward.
Belief is a leader, inspiration, and a reason for war.

They build a bridge to heaven
To see the Word unfold.
But seeds of disillusion
Were planted in sand, to blossom in enemy's land.

Gold-sprinkled servant, east-roman child
Like God's own creation, where the blisters of ages in glory subside.

They build a bridge to heaven
To see the Word unfold.
But seeds of disillusion
were planted in sand, to blossom in enemy's land.

09. Wintersmith

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai / Simone Simons
The days have grown darker
And clouds are hanging low.
The hills once spread lush and green
Snow's falling where the roads have been.

So little her confidence
But still she walks strong.
I'm born from the season's dance
To men I belong.

Winter's alive, one splintered soul
No heartbeat inside.
Breathing the cold, uncertain stride
Trying to feel, to be next to her.

The cold is coming closer
And the harmony is lost,
This burden that lies on my soul
And in my hand my people's hope.

My maiden's uneasiness, her anxiety,
To put all those fears to rest is a task given to me.

[3x]
Winter's alive, one splintered soul
No heartbeat inside.
Breathing the cold, uncertain stride
Trying to feel, to be next to her.

10. Dead Man's Shadows

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai
Brain-jamming ignorance reviving,
While marching down streets we've seen once before.
Into puddles of mud they're diving
Flying like insects around a rotten core.

Feed me from a dead tree ('cause I see)
I see shadows of a dead man, he is rising again.

Shame of this nation incited
The scum of the wastelands is strumming the old chords again.
Raising their fists to the doctrines of hate,
Verminous ideology.
The leader is calling, resistance is falling
Small-mindedness spreading too fast.

Feed me from a dead tree ('cause I see)
I see shadows of a dead man, he is rising again.

Feed me from a dead tree ('cause I see)
Once we have supremacy we're creating new divinity.

[4x]
I see shadows of a dead man.

11. Sanatorium Song

Music by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai / Tijs Vanneste
I dream of days when things went right
Release the anger of our past
Old memories they are crawling deeper.

It never hurts to try this thing
That is what they say
That season changed those times
I'm here to stay.

Out of the dark now I'm free
Saw their patience fading.
I create another world to be me
Break the curse and don't fear it.

A vicious theory of so-called wise men
A firm of standing, their rise impending.
Conserving the dying, the act of so-called wise men
Defying the pin I have to fight unto the end.

This time we let go fear Create a whole new environment here
If not we're all damned to go down.
This time we let go fear to leave a long trace of dust and tears
If not we're all damned to go down.

I walked alone in autumn's light
Released the anger of the past
Old memories were crawling deeper.
I heard the sound of angel wings
Despite what they say.
That season changed my life I longed to stay.

This time we let go fear Create a whole new environment here
If not we're all damned to go down.
This time we let go fear to leave a long trace of dust and tears
If not we're all damned to go down.

They try to be the ones who make things real, who work with fear
The ones providing antidotes, the ones who run all things in here.
So now the time has come to make my point, to shoot my gun
A hole intro the atmosphere creating a new celestial sphere.

I fly too high: cry over me!
Oh well, I didn't see it coming, so I get down - on my knees.
Oh well, here I go now!

12. Third Moon Rising

Music by Oliver Palotai
Lyrics by Henning Basse / Oliver Palotai
Beat me to death, just give me a reason
What for I still should return.
To this place where we once pledged allegiance
That became hostile and stern.

We write people's tragedy
Until the curtain falls.

When reason crumbles
(It's a third moon rising)
And night prevails
When good will stumble
(It's a third moon rising)
Then we all give up our faith.

Give me a break or confirm my convictions
That this story was not meant to last
I think 'forever' just falls into fiction
And out hopes belong to the past.

We wrote people's tragedy
Until the curtain falls.
Guess fate has a tendency
To surprise them all.

[2x]
When reason crumbles
(It's a third moon rising)
And night prevails
When good will stumble
(It's a third moon rising)
Then we all give up our faith.

We wrote people's tragedy
Until the curtain falls.
