A mind of its own, spawn out of fire
The demon becomes a God A child, two-faced and innocent Transcending Control, fragments of nothing Enslaving, reversed humane Empires made out of nothing but air Creation fails Hungry he laughs at us all Sacred is noyhing no more In the eyes of the dead, at the edge of the night In an oath of blood we are sacred In the eyes of the dead, still nothing revealed The wounds they still bleed, and won't heal Blood in the sands, slaves to the hunger Heaven denies them all A god, a dome for its pleasures and lust Possession The falls prophets of nothing Promise but take it back The one, the futile and venomous son Will torture 02. Shadowland
What was the light that I saw before me
As I opened my eyes Behold, the dream opens up What's the thing that I feel inside me I can tell what will come What has becomes of us all Rise, Shadowland A world of ice A destiny, the final key The dream has come alive Rise up again Open, Shadowland A dream to be, eternally Open, Shadowland What's the thing that has come to haunt me The dream comes alive Inside the gateway of time At the dead lake of bitter waters The future reveals I see the end of the world 03. Invincible
Across the desert plains
They come as though invincible Out of a fallen land they walk away Over the shallow seas With bleeding hands they carry on Towards the distance in the open sea New dawn raging The whips and chains are one Out of a land without a reign They come as one, as one they go Out of the wasteland No one to fall, Invincible They will return Proclaim awakening To hail a god perpetual A war in heaven knows no victory 04. Revelation
Now the sky opens up before my eyes
The vision blinds me On the bolts of fire cast upon the earth Out, out of the void the riders come Through hail and flashes In the distance hear the seventh horn still sound No one is innocent No, I will return again The sky divides in two The final revelation Out of the void, see the riders emerge The prophec is true The final revelation Feel the fire, as it's cast upon the world No ripples upon the sea of glass The shrine is open As I wait the final sacring of my soul I, I open the scroll and know my fate The peals of thunder When I know the secret of the seven seals 05. Never Die
Hear the calling
From the shadows in the deep Won't surrender We are standing at the edge They call for arms and we'll stand our ground It's neverending When the power comes alive Never falling The truth is in our hearts Rise up and stare the beast in the eyes Wandering souls, never betray The last of our kind, our eyes are ablaze We'll never die NEVER DIE We're masters of the earth, coming alive We'll never die NEVER DIE We're masters of eternity, fighting a world to be Another aeon And the endless sands of time Everflowing We rise above them all Witch how the world turns into our throne 06. Underworld
An entity, living inside me
Scraped away, the flesh from my bones Come on in and feel on my hunger Welcome to my underworld Come on in and lust in the darkness Grasp away the skin from my face Be the mask, defer to the master I feel the lesion tainting me Will the faces reader Will the mask reveal Will I bleed in splendour How this silence is killing me (In this silent underworld) Don't defy, the mind is the altar Raped away, in pretends to be me Hollow soul, the beacon is fading Welcome to the sin divide Desecrate, the memories will haunt me I am God, the festering wound Empty eyes, a stare that still beckons I feel its will, it's tempting me Save my soul, give me peace Let me through this hole, I'm dying My soul is gone, you're killing me 07. Vengeance
Into the void, an image of nothing is fading
The venomous grey, dissolves into pieces of me The carrion calls, entices the pest, they're falling The Charon he waits But no one can see the flames at sea I'll have my vengeance My kingdom come I speak in silence Last mind astray, lead me the way Flames over ice, the visions are false Wiat for my vengeance See how it dies, outside the walls The memory purged from my eyes My vengeance calls Aeons ignite, inflicting the visions forsaken Begotten in sin The womb holds the souls that will be The ravenous hole, swallows the dirt it has taken Even in death, a dead man is never free 08. Faceless God
A darkened room, a blackened hole
A septic grain turns the flesh into sand The night is slain, the light is gone I feel, how the vision fails me Let them bleed, then suck them dry A severed dream turns will to submission This dying world, will bring rebirth They kill, they kill for pleasure The pathway is open A choice must be made I'm not afraid Call out my name Faceless god A soul for a crown His eyes are the color of blood A life for a throne Faceless God Rejoice in sin, come on in Repent no more but the scarring remains Poisoned sheep, the flock has died I know, how their blood still stains me A prophecy, it comes to life The curtain falls and out comes the truth Whole death awaits, the memory comes I know how the vision failed me 09. Birth of Chaos
Another genocide, a masterplan foresaw the fall
A resurrection reversed There's a brave new world, a soulless sphere that penetrates It's the seal to our fate Your gods have failed Our will be done The fiery chains that held but cut the fatal thread at last Condemned eternities pass Another motor spins, machinery of hate begins And still crumbles and grinds Black souls that seem unreal Cold empty hearts The formless hollow shells of man Time, times of evil The birth of chaos, regain of the earth Time, times of evil The birth of chaos reborn The endless pain begins and torture breeds the suffering Another destiny fades A second sacrifice, a last revenge of human kind Enslave the last one alive Strapped to the offering god The slaves of the earth A blank stare is all that remains Witness their birth 10. The Watcher
Inside the earth, they scheme for the slaughter
A part of the masterplan Forbidden to be, for no one to see Onnocence for pain, they twist in pleasure Spawn from a life of gods The watcher is all, destruction befall The final embrace A silent scream Eternal debase, deceive or prevail We rot to the core, the final ambition The hunger begins to grow Oblivious one, the fall has begun The final embrace A silent scream The presence evolves, the colony grows Fates are falling, names in stone Final calling, the watcher of the fall Fates are falling, rise or fall Final calling, the watcher in us all |
