Symbolical and mystical
Between life and death we're torn A constant struggle Like an apocrypha Nobody can be certain A thousand days, spent in hell The ultimate sacrifice Your voyage starts With a question mark But the distant future Will not tell Bury me an angel Set my black soul free!! Blackened chariots Bearing evil souls Ride the surface of burning holes Nocturnal... traveller You represent the ruined spirit Symbolical and mystical You shall be damned for all time 02. Dark Insanity
Weak and sick I crawl
In the dust of past mistakes Leaving for the darkness Of tears and cold heartaches Suffer in this grief Of forever burning hate The ashes of my life By the torment you create On my knees... remembering The wasted years of dark insanity The rage increases fast As the memories eat me alive God, I wish this to end But I'm not prepared to die No more a human being Just a fool of anxiety Unable to escape The darkest insanity 03. Eureka
Stumbling through
This complex puzzle that is my life Thirsty for knowledge But drinking from poisoned fountains Flashbacks from my past God knows how long I'll last Images of you Leading my soul astray These four walls Are closing in, suffocating me My last wish is to Transcend from this dimension of boredom Wrap your arms around me Like a circle around the sun I loved you so Why couldn't you love me? EUREKA! - I found the secret of life!? EUREKA! 04. Idolatress
These gardens of angst
In which I stand Lost and confused Hungry for more Eager to cross This river of tears Safe in this void In which I live Free from despair Weaving a web Surrounding my soul Imprisoned distress In a world of dying angels Trespassers on unknown domains Traumatic defeat This time I'll burn For one thousand years Bearing the truth Deep down inside It dies with me Taste the pure salt Of misery Hell's ecstasy Feel destiny Breathe in your neck Cut you so deep Twisting my mind Living in sin Dying within Wicked and mean Sinister eyes Staring at me 05. Cosmic Retribution
Behold the apocalypse
The end is closing in Did you ever really doubt That we would pay for our sins... The heavens will burn No one can save us now Everything we once loved Shall perish in flames... Armageddon coming on A black dawn slowly rising The heat will slowly consume you Like a moth around a flame Out of this silent planet A single sign of life appears A man made machine Carrying an embryo of human life... 06. Demoniality
(Instrumental)
07. Transmigration Macabre
Trapped in a downward spiral of pain
Horrific memories, your life flashing by There is no life left for you to live You've had your share and more Act of transfusion - blood child! Transmigrate into the future or the past Eternal damnation awaits you my love In the kingdom of the sick and the rotting dead You will suffer excruciating pain You shall now reap the twisted fruit Of what you once sowed Transparent - revealing the lies Transmutation - What you have become Act of transfusion - blood child! Transmigrate into the future or the past Transmigration macabre 08. Time Capsule
(Instrumental)
09. Fields Of Desolation
On the fields of desolation
We are all alone Crying in each others arms In fear of the unknown Feelings of uncertainty We are all doomed To live in solitude And never ending gloom On the fields of desolation Eternal life or termination Why don't you cover me I need your sanctuary This sea I'm drowning in Might be where the end begins In times of grief and sadness We're searching for the light Seek for a place of safety Seek for a place to hide God turned his back on man In divine resignation Torn between two believes Eternal life or termination? As we drown in darkness Weak and depraved On our final journey Too late to be saved We've gone through places Where the cold wind blows Is this the end of it all I don't know, I don't know 10. Losing Faith
As I walk alone
Paralysed and frozen Weakened by the fact It is the life that I have chosen This is life that I believed in Sentences me without mercy Staring down the depths Of the mind once again Regret this way of living Retrospectives in the end Losing faith in heaven Now conform to hell Blindfolds of romance This pain I can not bear 11. The Ides Of March Music by Steve Harris
(Instrumental)
12. Aces High Music & lyrics by Steve Harris
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheel blocks there's no time to waste Gathering speed as we heed down the runway Gotta get airborne before it's too late Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high [Solo] Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us Ten ME - 109's out of the sun Ascending and turning out spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press my guns. Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, goin' again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high. |
