Sahg - Delusions Of Grandeur lyrics



Tracks



01. Slip Off The Edge Of The Universe

Master of Astropolis
Verging on the black abyss
Conquered all the eye can see
Hunger rages endlessly

Circle the night
Devious satellite
The ground beneath your feet
Slowly sinking
Slip off the edge of the universe
Into the black beyond
Thousand light-years gone

Drifting through a cosmic sea
Lost the force of gravity
Reached too high and gone too far
Grand delusion falls apart

Circle the night
Devious satellite
The ground beneath your feet
Slowly sinking
Slip off the edge of the universe
Into the black beyond
Thousand light-years gone

02. Blizzardborne

At the hammer down
I'm awoken
The center of the storm
Drained of will and power
I was broken
Now I am reborn

Hear the thunder roll
It has fallen
The hammer of the gods
See the sky cracks open
And the blizzard coming down
Life me from the Earth

Struggle with nature's power
Caught in a battle of the gods
Facing the darkest hour
Enter the shadow of the Sun
Only the strength of fire
Could bring redemption to me now
If I keep climbing higher
Soon I will reach the ground

Hammer down
Fall on the mountain
Hear the thunder calls for you

Look for the lighted way
Wait for a sign of the day
And praise to the Sun

Blizzardborne
Crawl down the mountain
Crowning of the long lost king
Hammer down
Call of the mountain
Hear the thunder calls
Hear the hammer falls for you

03. Firechild

Firechild comes alive
From ashes now reborn
Lifeless lies the sacrifice
Scattered by the storm
From the shelter where you hide
Smoldering fire now ignites
Reckoning will soon begin
And tables will revolve

Turning of the tide
Firechild's arrived
From this day your soul is shaken
Overthrow begins
End of all that's been
From this day your mind is taken

Firechild throw aside
Rebellion and revolt
All have seen the reckoning
The tables are revolved

Turning of the tide
Firechild's arrived
From this day your soul is shaken
Overthrow begins
End of all that's been
From this day your mind is taken

Reach far beyond the lines of reason
Take all your hands can hold
Make slaves of those who held you under
And weakness will unfold

04. Walls Of Delusion

Don't speak before I have broken the silence
Breathing is all you're allowed to do here
I point the way for you to follow
Do as I say and there's nothing to fear

Stay in the shadows unless you are asked for
I am here for you to obey

I own the air you breathe
The ground beneath your feet
The things that make you be
They all belong to me

My walls surround you
Ten mountains tall
They rise around you
And never fall

You're guided by my hand
No harm will strike again
The darkest side of me
Will give you shelter from the Sun

Ask no questions 'cause no one will answer
Hold your tongue because no one will hear

05. Ether

My aetheric throne
At the apex of the sky
Where the spirit goes
When it's numb and hypnotized
Neon sun explodes
With phosphoric glow
Drink the serum of the lotus tree

Breathe the toxic fume
Let it penetrate your mind
Cosmic gardens bloom
Pull the covers from your eyes

This is my realm
My cosmic kingdom
I hold the helm
I drink the venom
The world obeys from underneath
Buckles at my feet

I am the ruthless one
I rule the Moon and Sun
From blood, skin and bone
I led my spirit home
Ascendants rising from the sea
Bring them all to me

Sovereign
Overlord
Majesty
Emperor

Sovereign - none above
Overlord - feared and loved
Majesty - Heaven-sent
Bow to the omniscient

06. Then Wakens The Beast

Carnivore is tamed
The killer found his hide
Walk among the sane
Forgot what dwells inside
Madness lightly sleeps
Soon may rise to wake
The wall of reason is about to break

My twisted self has lost its peace
Last drop and then wakens the beast

Silent lay the dead
Calm before the storm
Bathing in their blood
A monster has been born
Massacre complete
Time to pay the debts
Still the beast and suffer my regrets

My twisted self has lost its peace
Last drop and then wakens the beast

I cut the Earth and carve my stone
The torture won't be missed
This is the place I cross my bones
My own Necropolis

My twisted self has lost its peace
Last drop and then wakens the beast

08. Sleeper's Gate To The Galaxy

Catch a last impression of the Sun
Swallow the delusion and be gone, gone, gone
And the Earth is drifting on the tide
The trees, the sea, the sky
Lifted away from the forces that held me bound
All disappears below the clouds

Seal off and barricade the entrance to my secret hide
Fear that the hunters of the spiteful will arrive tonight
Leave for a place inside the haze where no one else can go
Fall to their knees and serve to please the master that they know

Escape through space and time
Beyond the speed of light
Into the afterlife
Where the illusion comes alive

The last escape
I pass the gate
To the galaxy
Through the gateway of the free

Speeding through a cosmic hallway
Labyrinth of endless space
Passing through a hundred doorways
Find no exit form this maze
Colors shift round every corner
Pitch black darkness, brilliant light
Meet your Maker and Destroyer
Let her lead you through this night

Tread the water falling down
Break the Earth and leave the ground
Cut the air that around me blows
Bound for somewhere no one knows
Trust in this darkness now

Swim to where the rivers flow
Fly to where the cold winds blow
Linger where the sun won't rise
Mesmerized

See my harbor far away
Pulls me on towards the day
Captured in magnetic flow
Vertigo
