01. Imperium

Music by A Ghoul Writer
[Instrumental]

02. Kaisarion

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Joakim Berg
Kaisarion
A prophecy told
We're building our empire
From the ashes of an old
Kaisarion
The fruit of the womb
Our brotherhood of good faith
Sealed an apostate witch's doom

It is the sound of another deadline
Whistling past your ears
It is the sight of a million regrets
Mounting over years
It is the words that were never spoken
That echoes through the times
It is the smell of the burning temples
Swept away by rhymes

Hypatia
Far away from the stench of the heavens
Hypatia
Long ago yet too close to forever
Hypatia
When a paradise is lost
Go straight to...

Kaisarion
A matter of love
When mother earth is calling
For a father up above
Kaisarion
Put on the smiles
And throw your holy rocks right at her
For her satanic wiles

It is the truth of candor shone
Through a prism of deceit
It is the continence of bishops
With their choirboys en suite
It is the tongue soiled in adulation
That licks to no avail
It is the noise of the righteous dogma
That hides the handmaid's tail

03. Spillways

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir
Through benediction
You tried to rid your mind
Of malediction
But through all this time
You try to peel it off
And it is such a ride

Your desolation
Led you into this
Vile incarnation
Of consummated bliss
I know you need it now
To make you feel alive

All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now

And I ain't talking about forgiveness

It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways...

Through the spillways of your soul

You keep a casket
Buried deep within
You try to mask it
But fall back in sin
You want to shake it off
But you are stuck inside

When stripped of rags
Of skin and spine
Human decay
Corpus dei
Terminally dispelled
And it is such a ride

All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now

04. Call Me Little Sunshine

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Max Grahn
Call out in the middle of the night
For when else would I hear you?
Fall out in the cold starlight
I can save you if you do

You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone

Call me... Little sunshine
Call me... Mephistopheles
When you feel all alone
Just call me... Little sunshine

Even when you are dead and gone
You can always reach me
All you got to do is call me...

Light up in the middle of the day
For how else could you see me?
Ease up to the hunter from the prey
And transform indefinitely

You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone

05. Hunter’s Moon

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Max Grahn
It has been a long time coming
I am coming back for you my friend
To where we would hide as children
I am coming back for you my friend

Though my memories are faded
They come back to haunt me once again
And though my mind is somewhat jaded now
It is time for me to strike again

Tonight... It is a hunter's moon

Celare, savor mea
Mors tua, vila mea
Celare, savor mea
Mors vineit omnia

I am coming
I am dying
To see you
One last time together

I am coming back for you my friend

Under a headstone sister
I am dying to see you my friend
Back in the old cemetery
I am dying to see you my friend

Though my memories are faded
They come back to haunt me once again
And though my mind is somewhat jaded now
It is time for me to strike again

06. Watcher In The Sky

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir
Searchlights
Looking for the watcher in the sky
Searchlights
Looking for the watcher in the sky

Evilutionary the optics for us
To get answers as to why
We signal to another dimension
That we stand here ready for reply

Communication is key
When you unlock to believe
Can you see what I see?

For the light of our savior
His machiavellian grace
And in the sheen of his splendour
There is a better place

Let us go

The kaleidoscopean visions we have seen
Tell of bloodlines of top notch
The predestinated will dispatch
While your realm has rotted on our watch

Communication is key
When you unlock to believe
Can you see what I see?

07. Dominion

Music by A Ghoul Writer, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir
[Instrumental]

08. Twenties

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir
Listen up hatchet man
Set controls for the heart of the land
Tell them all - It is time
You are the next in the chain of command

(As my) Apparition... (Apparition...)
Direct the course for collision
(Grow) Suspicion... (Suspicion...)
For the reich to come to fruition

In the twenties
We will be singing in a reign of pennies
In the twenties
We will be soaring in disguise of bevies
In the twenties
We will be smootching at the feet of the ruler
In the twenties
We will be grinding in a pile of moolah

In the twenties
We will be dancing in the fields of freedom
In the twenties
We will be crushing them laws because we do not need them
In the twenties... In the twenties...
All the way to the thirties!

Listen up you motherfuckers
Those ivy league dopes they want to mock us
Tell them all - this is war
And not fighting a war is for suckers

(kiss my) Assassinate... (Assassinate...)
Gather the tools to disintegrate
(Feed) Hate... (Hate...)
Reaping the seeds as a reprobate

I am number one
You are number two
You have a lot of Gods work to do

In the twenties
We will be singing in a reign of pennies
In the twenties
We will be soaring in disguise of bevies
In the twenties
We will be taking no shit from the chulas
In the twenties
We will be grabbing them all by the hoo-hahs

09. Darkness At The Heart Of My Love

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir
When the summer dies
Severing the ties
I am with you always
...Always

Will you walk the line?
My path serpentine
Remember always
That love is all you need

Tell me who you want to be
And I will set you free

There is a darkness at the heart of my love
That runs cold, that runs deep
The darkness at the heart of my love for you

There is a darkness at the heart of my love
That runs cold, that runs deep
The darkness at the heart of my love
So bold, so sweet

And all this time you knew
That I would put you through
The darkness at the heart of my love
...For you

Will you spill the wine?
To summon the divine
I am with you always
...Always

Now paint a pair of eyes
And let's watch as it dries
Remember always
That love is all you need

10. Griftwood

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Klas Åhlund, Peter Svensson
Suffering for the lord
Is not an easy thing
Be it a conjuring
So ordained and adored
So immaculate
So worth the debt

I am your rock baby
I will not back down
I am your rock baby
Ask yourself:
Are you righteous?

Yes!

You want to play with the sire?
(Yes)
You want a view from the spire?
(Yes)
You want a seat by the pyre?

...And never ever suffer again

Yes!

Holy mother
You washeth the sin from my feet
Holy mother
You shine like the sun and the moon
And the stars in the sky

The world weighs heavy on your shoulders

Sacrifice for the horde
Leads the way from shame
Be it a loser's game
The disdained and abhored
Lash of the senate whip
it is a power trip

I am your rock baby
I will not back down
I am your rock baby
Ask yourself:
Are you righteous?

You want to console the griever?
(Yes)
You want to guide the believer?
(Yes)
You and the greatest deceiver?

11. Bite Of Passage

Music by A Ghoul Writer
[Instrumental]

12. Respite On The Spitalfields

Music & lyrics by A Ghoul Writer, Joakim Berg
We are here in the after
Of a murderous crafter
...The past
Is spun like a yarn and mangled
With flesh and blood and bones
I wonder
Did no one hear the distant thunder?

The autumnal reaper
The stains of this creeper
...Will last
The shine and the sham entangled
Like salting earth with tears of Jesus
He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces

For the dreams that you dread
Can become just as real
As the blood that was shed
With the slash of his steel
Now the street walking dead
Was quite a scene, wasn't it?
For the lost and misled
Were promised seats by the pit

We will break away together
I will be the shadow
You will be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night

We are leaving this city
So this is farewell
Good bye seven sisters
And Saint Jezebel
The moon in the gutter
Has a story to tell
One day he will come back
From the bowels of hell

He appeared to ascend
So we all stood there in awe
Now we have to pretend
We did not see what we saw
With the curtain unveiled
To the sound of applause
For the king that we hailed
Was the Wizard of Oz
