I realize as I awake
Life's to be taken to a new level Belief is not the way Dogma will dispirit your soul The only road to mastery of life Is to determine it's extremity When it shall expire Choosing victim is easy Enemies are first in line You are the sworn Targets for my crime Expectations are growing fast Stronger as I plan Life's to get new dimensions Mercy denied, I celebrate Only road to mastery Determine life's extremity Someone's gonna die Moment of death I release the blood Awaiting thrills but I'm still cold Instead of the power I'd possess Reinjected emptiness A belief in something That couldn't fulfill my needs I feel nausea With myself, not with my deeds So I'm back where I begun But the only way out is another one Tired, confused, exhausted I stab the dagger to my chest My strength is not enough Enough to penetrate Pitiful I am And despite the pain Laughter from my throat I just can't restrain I vomit, I laugh, I suffocate Ironic no one can deny Beside my victim I laugh to death Oh what a funny way to die 02. Faith, Hope, Self-Deception
Despise the lie!
What makes you strong is what I hate The plague that heals your wounds All you believe makes you sane, strong Immune Truth would destroy you You would wish for death If you saw what I see And you would die, but I would see You while you would fall Before me Fall before me Soon you will be Under my feet And left behind like all conquered lies If you could cleanse your soul And leave deception far behind We would never be equal Because free I stand, rid of lies But without lies you would be no more I do not envy you I do not want what you have got I only wish to see you die By your own hand Deprived of all that made you live Tough fuck, sad but true Your vision... a reflection of you Without substance No reason Yes, I want to spread the truth To all of you who were seeking truth But reality behind your veils Is far beyond your frame of mind Drained of what you thought was life You would be like an empty shell Hollow, used and thrown away Fragile as crystal in my hand Broken shell, empty and small What will become of you? Your life is worth less Than sand under my feet Leave deception far behind! We will never be equal Because free I stand, rid of lies But without lies you'd be no more Can I ever make you see Or even think like me? No, you will always feel Safe like the child Not knowing his father won't be back For fire... burn with me Know me deep inside For truth... see what I see Take my hand or fall before me 03. God of Death
Oh how I dream
Pictures of the ancient times The executioner awaits on the stage In the eyes of the mob Through which the convicted Are dragged, scorned And spat upon Sinners, soon to confront their fate Excitement in the air Lost medieval times? Former ideals shall be retrieved! Like me into this body reborn Judge, executioner, all-in-one I am the chosen one Justice to be done Sentenced, no wait No wait, decapitate The victim of my hate My name shall be God Lord of heaven, earthly hell And whatever is in-between I reign in my kingdom of death I judge the living And the soon to be dead Sentenced, no wait No wait, decapitate The victim of my hate Lead this lost world through this maze Refined are my ways I'm Messiah To make this world a better place 04. Metamorphosis by the Well of Truth
It's the time of the day when I lay down to rest
To impressions of the day digest But thoughts of my existence emerge Who am I and why am I? My consciousness can't be purged Until a soothing breeze is putting me to sleep I fall through endless depths My dreams awake, they're taking over Take me on a journey within I see myself and I see my world I meet people from my past But can't remember where they're from They stare at me with hollow eyes Still disappointment therein lies I see nations birth and death One thousand human lives Begin and end I see new religions are born And they fall into oblivio I witness the births of worlds And the old ones wither away New universes are created in storms of fire The old ones are crushed inside black holes I see my old life fading away And a new one is about to begin I see water sprig From the well of truth People congregate With will to eternal wisdom obtain Those with false hearts That taste the water change form To trembling vile creatures with their insides out The others are reborn as gods At the very back of the swarming crowds I see my tense face, I'm eager with fear I desire to know but I fear the same fate The one of others that I just beheld When monsters with false hearts have expired And the new gods are sent to conquer the world As the last one I stand alone by the well With fear I put out my hands To finally taste the truth about me With uncertainty I awake from my dream What would have happened and who am I? I seek but can not find the well of truth And struggle therefore through my life With fear and eagerness To godhood or complete demise 05. Dreamon
A haunting ghoul
I am the demon who rapes your soul Raping your mind I take control I am the one visiting your dream I am the one with the vilest scheme I see you in your dreams every night I make your body convulse in fright Twisting your hands to masturbate With sinful thoughts I thee saturate Bride of the beast groom I create I soak the rag in chloroform You breathe the mighty winds of the storm As soon as you've anaesthetized I do everything I've fantasized This never was a dream But you'll never realize Don't be afraid, you will not die As long as you keep me satisfied 06. Can't Kill What's Already Dead
Intimidate me?
No use, you can't harm me I have returned for everyone to see No time for empty threats Know the new me Unleash your fear, your hate Unhurt I will be Surrounded I am But lay down your arms and save your hate Immaterial being I'm no one you incarcerate I'm forever free Unbound by the realm of flesh You can't kill me Can't kill what's already dead I died long ago Last ship that was passing by Vanished where the sea meets the sky You chose not to hear my screams Turned away, escaped into your dreams My hands tried to get a grip To the very end Saved my last breath for a downward trip Sank into the ocean Was chained to the bottom with moral All my limbs were putrefied My body's dead, my wraith's alive So I'm back to intervene Claim revenge Blood is to be seen Nothing to lose No pain, no infliction No fear reigns inside my head You can't kill what's already dead 07. Insurrection
Too long on the throne, no resistance
You try to own me, possess my mind Believing you can control my existence Indoctrination, brainwash by lies A nation I am Sovereignty belongs to me Deep inside infantry Gather for attack Prepare for war All armies unite for the battle I'm in command We march to the front To recapture our land Attack/Insurrection Nothing may stand in our path No prisoners shall we take Annihilate No enemy shall ever rise again Nightfall And twilight is followed by stillness of death Count your dead I let all grievance be branded Into your mind Gather hate, dominate Enemies brought to account If we shall meet any life... Exterminate, eradicate! No allowances we make We've slain your nation... Leveled with the ground Lesson you have learned Antagonists kneel or burn We claim the highest throne Our name is legion The future is ours My destiny is now in my control 08. The Enigma of Number Three
Reality, my one last escape
I can't hid deep inside myself I close my eyes Try to cover my ears I'm obsessed No peace to be found Three churches with minarets On three hills, far away Every church has a bell Piercing chime Resonates in my head One for faith, holy faith Roars like hell One for hope, bloody hope One for love Tinkling fuck Optical delusions Unheard sounds Haunting me, why? These symbols I can't understand Or interpret I open my eyes To escape from this hell Although reality bites Reflection I can spare Three windmills now appear New visions but I don't care Two in spin and one is still Eyes now burn Sound intensified Eardrums blow Delirious delirium! He never solved the riddle Never tried Cursed to die! Never reached The insight that I have Led to his demise So learn from this... If you are a stormy sea Hold the mill-sails If your soul is ground I prithee mark my words Your soul torn apart By the sound of the bells Misled by visions You will expire Concentrate, gather strength Don't let the chime Get to you or your soul If you're strong No mill can grind your soul Not even if you are A stormy sea 09. Drain of Blood
My powers are running low
My strength is about to die My soul needs to be fortified Drain of blood Powers flood How divine I feel your heartbeat next to mine My soothing hand along your spine The way to end my inner strife Goes through your blood I need your life I admit my mind is sick Obviously my strength's anemic Your death is the antidote Now your blood runs down my throat Drained of blood Rivers flood How divine Another heartbeats next to mine My soothing hand along her spine The way to end my inner strife Goes through her blood I need her life This last injection Exceeds all expectations Once again my rivers flood As you were drained of blood 10. The Temple / Erratic
Left by dawn
Determined mind The final way out My bridges were burned One last path to justify life... To follow this crazy dream Heading for the woods To places I had been before But in my dreams They were altered I just had to see But the deeper I walked Confusion emerged Paths unknown? I was astray And though it was day The sun shone no more But as I despaired Certain to be lost I suddenly stood By a temple The temple in my dreams With a thousand steps My journey was complete The source of essence Of which I had been foretold Climbing up the stairs Hewn in stone Stained with generations blood Thorn, like poison snakes Entangles me, severs my skin Helped by the wind At last at the top A mysterious sight reaches my eyes For on the very highest step A gigantic mirror was placed Unseen in my dream I was dismayed With fear I faced the mirror And to my great surprise My reflection... The image of the devil And behind... At the very foot of the stairs I could see clouds And heaven from above Through the mirror I could see heaven's gate Forever closed for me All of a sudden A stormwind came And put the mirror in spin Got hold of the thorn Of the highest step I see the mirror stop Yet the wind blows My image... I am Messiah Hanging down the stairs In the reflection a chasm And the gate in front of me Was the back of the gate to hell I was sure to fall A question of seconds But once again The wind came to my help And saved me from the flames But trapped in the grasp of the wind I was violently thrown Towards the spinning mirror And I got caught in the spin New dimensions I saw But I never say the mirror again My last way to redemption Turned out to be a fatal delusion I'm condemned To eternal emptiness Condemned to play roles In a thousand worlds I'm never to be myself again |
