The seventh had seven descendants
The seventh was then devided into three They were given their first symbols They bore faces of animals A Snake, an Eagle & the Lion The first was known as magic and he bore an enchanted heart A Star of David upon his crest was his eternal mark The second was strength, half a moon was he A triangle he adorned, a sword for all to see The third was Lion wisdom a mind unmatched Represented by the cross the white was his essence A crystal his defense The three were one, devided at rebirth Forbidden to unite, for fear of their strength The divine order was ignored the three thrn became one Their punishment was swift they were denied and then cast down A thousand incarnations passed the time was now at hand A prophecy fulfilled so; he may save this sinful land As Jobe bore the sins of all men who walk the land They must bear the cross as was their comands The second unification of the angel Seven Three human souls, merged, as in heaven The lion's roar was heard by all The magic and the force have heard the will to prophesize was theirs The cross shook the hammering of nails Omen in the darkened skies above Thunder, lightning and rain did flow As the united angel rose Ice steamed and fire rose And the three were born... The seventh had seven descendants The seventh was then devided into three 02. Ocean Land (The Revelation)
"Before eyes that are blind no more
A sight unseen that tears the soul All we ever loved and known Into mass graves is what we're shown" "We see an ocean once was land" & So they come to understand This place where man used to be born Will be man's water throne "All that was magical, beasutiful, will be gone" These measures call for divine intervention "All the achievements of man, one will stand all alone" One the survives the final selection "The sand in the hourglass, moves so fast, slow the sand And nothing that mankind has strived for will be al in ocean land" The rain will fall then Filling the dried land "Here are we servants three, flesh and blood Poor and weak, hear thou speak of the blood" It must be a sign A massage from God's hand 03. The Kiss Of Babylon (The Sins)
Twisted ways blackened nights
Sin upon Sin, gone is the light Doom shall befall them all A Downward spiral they shall fall The Three, all this they see As they try to pass god's decree Worshiping the gods that demand lives and sacrifice None but the blood of infants will suffice Fallen sparrows fall as one into a grave They are the souls of living men that could not be saved. "Walking the land we see The sins of flesh and spirit flow Bodies entwined a serpent's leathel kiss of venom is bestowed Our lord watches them fall - He stands above you all" "Son slaying father A Cain's mark upon us all Babylon's rising, cast from heaven We see the angels fall When will the heavens be alight The seasons will re-unite" "Ahavat hadasa al levavi nikshera Ve'ani betoch gola paamay tzolelim; Lu yesh reshut li a'ale ethabera Toch she'arey zion asher hem nehelalim;" [Translation:] "My heart is bound with love to the Holy Land, But my feet are sinking in the depths of exile When will he give me leave to go up and make my home Within the extolled gates of Jerusalem?" 04. A'salk
"A'salk ya chur aganani
Lama Lama Ad Betney Ve'ana ahrach raim zmani Takrim liman hu haii" [Translation:] "I beseech you, King of Kings Why, Why do you torture me? In my faith lies eternally Have mercy upon your forsaken" 05. Halo Dies (The Wrath Of God)
"Vaishachet ha'aretz lifney habore, vetimla ha'aretz chamas"
[Translation:] "The land was corrupt before God, and the land was filled with violence" "Father thou art in heaven Thy kingdom cried hallow lives The sacred halo dies You defied and turned your back Upon our lord of wrath All faith you lack You walk (upon) this beaten path" All man shall fall as Abel fell to Cain By fire, by storm, by hail & by rain The Sacred triad, the three that are one Shall serve the word, thy will shall be done Hell hath no fury as a God scorned Unleash his wrath he will let death be adorned "I will cleanse the world with fire Scorched earth forevermore Purple tongues that burn, shall climb higher Seas of flame will crush ashore Shed the blood of mortal man The pains of birth are felt again Reduce to none, thou art unborn The end of man, human dethroned All light is gone..." The rage of lord is ever true You have been led by the eternal deciever He is the life taker, and pain giver (Who) dwells into the depths of darkened fever There, as always, he lies, waiting - silent forever at the door The wrath of God that has befell you The servant of God - Jobe, the faithful believer He turned into a shadow, all fear and shiver Eve he drove astray and Adam to believe her The serpent coils inside its lair As if picking at an open sore Forever man's shins shall survive his earthly demise Wallow in hateful ways & his life of lies Eternal redemption they do not want nor seek Short are their days & feeble Naught but pleasure they adore... "Vayar Habore ki raba ra'at ha'adam baaretz vekol yetzer Machshavot libo rak ra kol hayom, Vayenachem habore ki asa et ha'adam baaretz, Veyt'atzev el libo" [Translation:] "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the land, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continualy. And it repented the lord that he had made man on the land, and it grieved him at his heart." 06. A Call To Awake (The Quest)
"On to the lands we must go to warn all"
Said the Snake, to the Eagle and the Lion "Beg them to repent so they might be saved From the fury and the anger that shall claim them" And so they set sail across the land and seas alike In a quest to avoid the settings of the sun "God's rage is true He urges you To awake..." "Thou has stolen, betrayed and worshiped pagan gods Thou must awake, thy lost faith to be saved" And so spoke the prophets, as the mob has gathered round (They) said their empire would soon crumble and fall down "Thou art out brothers, hear our call this day We come not to see your end, but to revive we pray" "God's rage is true He urges you To awake..." "Wehre did these three come from" asked crowd anxiously Furious and confused at the same time, "Surely these people are lying or jesting. Either way they are here to cause harm." "You just be on your way", said the mob as a warning, "or else (all) hell will break loose!" "It's all a matter of choice..." said the Eagle, though they really didn't have much to choose...(From). 07. Building The Ark
Comque vidisset Deus terran esse corruptam omnis
quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram Fac tibi arcam de lignis levigatis mansiunculas in arca facies et bitumine linies intrinsecus et extrinsecus ...corrupta est autem terra coram Deo... Et ex cunctis animantibus universe carnis bina indu- ces in arcam ut vivant tecum... "Thy servants are we. our lord who sits up high, Thy rod and thy staff, shall comfort and guide our hands" [Translation:] And God looks upon the earth, and, behold, it was corruptl for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. "Make Thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch" ...The earth was corrupt before God. "Of every living thing of all flesh, two of evert sort shalt thou bring into the ark to keep them alive with thee" 08. Nora El Nora (Entering The Ark)
Nora El Nora, ne'ezar begvura shuvi elay malki
Dodi refa, nafshi nichsefa, lebeitach malchi Nora El Nora, ne'ezar begvura Nora Ashira, Lach akabira, shir mahalali Lecha etna menat chevly vegoraly Bekol zman azor el nora, geza avraham, netzer tifa'ara, Ata el hai noten torah [Translation:] Nora El Nora, the lord of courage, Return to me my lord, mend my wounds, my soul is yearning, and in valor we wait. Nora I sing thee, a hymn of praise, to you I give my life and faith Through all time, mighty Nora, deliver us the progeny of Abraham, Offspring of greatness, you are the living God, giver of Torah. 09. The Calm Before The Flood
(Instrumental)
10. Mabool (The Flood)
"...Hineni mavi et hamabool maimarubot hasham al ha'aretz,
Leshachet kol basar asher bo ruach chaim mitachat hashamaim, Kol asher ba'aretz yigva... Vemachiti et kol hayekum asher asiti me'al pney ha'adama" [Translation:] And, behold, I, do bring a flood of waters upon the land to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breathe of life, from under heaven, and every thing that is in the Land shall die...and I shall wipe away the world I created upon the land. May the lord eternal save his troubled child As he passes through rain and storm Behind the walls of this hallowed ark of wood Our prophets found a revelation, which they understood Onto the lands of fearful heaven comes a flood earsing all Landing as if a ruthless bird of prey to crush all human souls The lightning colors of the sky with flames of light Hell shines above us and the fires bright Erasing the works of the common man, all we hold dear is set alight "Bayom haze nivkeu kol ma'ayanot tehom raba ve'arubot hashamaim niftechu vemey hamabool hayu al ha'aretz" [Translation:] ...In the seventh day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven had opened... ...And the waters of the flood, were upon the land... Shattered glass reflects this shattered world, barren in the landscape here Thunder roars as a lion caged, heat that comes like waves of fear Oceans rise and rage as we watch the world powers fall redeeming their sinful ways with their souls May the truth fill their hearts, let them see the light, when they embrace their gods "Vehine charvu pney ha'adama... Shofech dam ha'adam, ba'adam damo yishapech" [Translation:] ...and the face of the land was dead... Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. Seas cover the works of timeless art That once brought joy to human hearts In halls of infamy this day shall live Like burning of Rome and betrayal of Eve Like the fire raised at the witches' stakes Return all earthly possessions As ashes yyou return to earth, child of Godm to face the divine lord who sits upon the throne - eyes sad Go in peace and find thy faith Evolve thy self and lose all hate So a heaven you may create In this world of sorrowful ways None shall live to see the light of day Some may survive to tell the tale If their belief shall conquer this gale Damnationis the punishment bestowed El Norra Alila the vengeful God 11. The Storm Still Rages
The lightning flashes tension's high
Bringing light to darkened skies Lije Jonah in the belly of the beast Inside the ark the sound desist And so the ark swept upon the rising water... Forty days and forty night There came a mighty flood upon the land Where once were green pastures teeming with life Now were oceans deeper than any abyss "Out of depths of sorrow I cry Before thee I lye If this world shall inherit the mild Hear your orphaned child..." Lord pray tell save thy child The storm still rages inside Lord guide them Unto dry land, Amen. 12. Rainbow (The Resurrection)
(Instrumental)
13. The Evil Urge
And I see that slowly your tears are drying
And I see an ocean made by your crying And the ocean that's within... And I see misery to forget it I must And all of the memories are lost And the ocean is here within me Flows on like an ever tear In us all there are two separate sides That which is evil and that which is good Some people live by one side and others by the second Both of them have a little bit of the other But it must remain clear that the two depend on each other Remember, evil is a part of the good and not the opposite There is no sadness without joy and there is no joy without pain There is no holy without impure and there can be no blasphemy without holiness, Thus the two sides must live in harmony Unbalanced forever the evil urge brought lots of pain It is so hard to defeat it The evil urge sometimes arrives with heavy boots And sometimes in gentle cat's steps And even through blessed deeds it can drive you into deeds of wrong A here is the one which concurs his urge And so we must wonder what shall be the faith of the man who destroys one and embraces the other... The storm still rages.. 14. A Never Ending Way
When summer's gone and winter's past
It seems like a neverending way And thinking of what I have to say It seems like a neverending way I am within you now, with my sinful cry I am within you, now one am I Perish the love, perish your love When the sunfilled summer comes to love It seems like a neverending way It comes to us like a snow-white dove It seems like a neverending way I am within you now with my lonely cry I am within you now 'till the time we die I am within you now 'till the time we perish the love Perish your love 15. Mercy
Denying our restlessness
Frustrations tension eludes The past was clean Where thoughts were mild The present day horrors alive Slowly passing timeless horrors Lives within all fear The mourning in my tears Drown all the past We lived beneath these years Awaiting for the call For all life to expire It's mercy you're asking for cheating life By taking more it's mercy you're asking for Take my life or give me more... The light is dim before us Shadows appear and fall A barrage of savage ways Only the darkness can filter through Lives within all fear The mourning in my tears Drown all the past We lived beneath these years Awaiting for the call For all life to expire It's mercy you're asking for cheating life By taking more it's mercy you're asking for Take my life or give me more.. 16. The Beloved's Cry
My heart flies on her wings
Now I'm crying, the moon so red Tomorrow shall be another hell To the sun, the sky's soul is fed Blows pass me down Them I do not feel Nothing except the shadow is real Why did she do it? Why did she die? How could she leave without saying goodbye? She's proven my life to be just a lie When sea waves crush they hit me hard But I do not feel them And then, reality is no more real, to me I ask myself, should I end it now And join her at last? I miss the cold embrace of lust Nothing left, just a dust Nothing's left, my dearest love |
