Worlds colliding, rush into the void
All motion is relative it's stagnant Destroying that which had been saved what could he do Starting over from nothingness what does it mean Will our worlds be reborn only to be destroyed again Revising man's importance a vision of horror A god the red of the sun before us Awaits our arrival, to complete the cycle Within the realm of a dying sun Exploding into a universe as we fuse into one Inactive, immobile, caught in time's hold Why are we unable to solve the evolvement of Stars Rituals, ceremony of motion Stand time still, let the earth topple Over its' axis, plunge toward the Sun Man's life function becomes nonessential guided by fate Functional slaves of motion we all become Two years, ten years elapse as passengers intact We watch cathedrals crumble and civilizations decay 02. Enshrouded Crypt
Lying on the edge of the arboretum
Endless in depth in space No one can infiltrate the Sepulcher Discarded by an ancient race Secrets unknown to man Hidden from the conscious mind Knowledge that could destroy the earth Ascended through the sky The crypt of the shrouded king Protects his terrestrial remains External soul sent to this world Transgressed by early mankind Thought concealed in his tomb But soon to be released Understanding beyond our control Awaiting the day of peace Mystic sea engender of life Surrounding mortality within Shut off from the material world 'Til the hour of attainment begins 03. Infernal Domicile
Towers of a wretched city, spire over a misted sea
The Charon is waiting to escort you Where demons forever cease to sleep Temples glow red with the fire A moat surrounds these walls of iron Boatmaster reaches the gate of dis Entrance to the subsurface flames A Thousand fallen angels hover over the gates and cry Who without decimation wish to enter the kingdom of the dead City of eternal flames, house heretics in shame City of eternal fire, no escape from blackened mire Fear not for no one can take you from your passage Upon turbin winds of forceful sound over the Styx the intercessor arrives The thousand ruined spirits flee from the ancient one Bow down to the messenger who opens the gates with ease Fortress encloses on either side A spacious plain of sorrows, evil, torment and infliction Sepulchres glowing hot scatter flames amongst the tombs Moans of grievous saddened souls Disseminate from the dark Here lies the arch-heretic with followers from every sect Their tombs are sealed 'til times end Without the bodies which they have left above 04. Ancient Internecine
The men are armed and thirst for battle
Swords are sharpened, shields are sparkling Tension builds and anger strengthens every soldier As the enemy awaits approach of Roman soldiers Charging into battle for the conquest of the land Swords are clashing, spears are rendered useless Blood is flowing, men are dying in the fields Tell me god, will this cursed killing end? Hundreds after thousands raging storm through the valley So mysteriously glowing from the Bloodshed of the Greeks Greek warriors cry out in pain As Roman swords thrust through their veins While men retreat towards the land of Thebes In a time long ago ancient battles were fought And now there's only one who prevails 05. Life's Illusion
Untold images alter our perception
Of a universe we know nothing about Dimension of mystery obscure and undefined Obstructing our movement through space and time Unseen enclosure holding me in space Forbidding my departure from this time and place Disembodied spirit freed from our chains Show me what lies beyond in your realm of dreams I perceive your world as mere fantasy But is it my own mind creativity Unseen enclosure trapping me in space Forbidding the departure of the human race Incarceration of our minds Isolation of our kind Manipulation of our anima Concentration of our entities The vital principle preceeds our essence Producing the illusion known as the senses No one will know why we all exist The simple solution no one can resist 06. Impasse Of Humanity
Discerning a thin line between the realms of truth
Suspended by a thread over this abyssal pit Reality unstable wishing not to show Unable to resolve the truths that I know Questions with no conceivable answers Infinite as the duration of humanity Answers that exist will be questions again Will this vicious circle ever end Feeding off the fear within us Creating confusion at every turn The deadlock of humankind To attain the truth in wisdom Unseen author of nature Originator of life Bring me the knowledge of ages old To lift me from this strife Our plight the same our struggle never ending To acquire knowledge and secrets of all worlds Mortality so feeble can immortality be more What possible existence lies beyond the hidden door What is my name, why am I here Can anyone see. I'm filled with fear 07. Mirror Of Deception
[instrumental]
08. Agamemnon
Fire foretells return of the king from the land of Troy
The sin of his fathers rests upon him, demise is his only choice He sacrificed his daughter to the gods for wind to push his sails Ten years of battles lie behind him, the shores of home ahead Agamemnon the gods hold your fate and they won't let it go Agamemnon you know you must die, hate the prophecy foretold A hero's welcome greets Agamemnon no one suspects his doom Clytemnestra plots to steal his throne and put Aegisthus in his place The destiny of man is descending upon the earth Cassandra prophecises his departure from this world of foolish minds Clytemnestra thrust her knife three times into his back Aegisthus waits to take command of the city without a king A mangod made a man once more brought down by the gods Apollo tightens his reigns on Mycenae as the sin-drenched city repents |
