02. Lady Temptress
Lady Temptress
Lucifer's daughter Born in my flesh Arise and be revealed Unknown for the corrupted minds She dwells in malignancy In the distant crypts of your inner self Where Man of God doesn't seek Please don't leave me Lady Temptress Revel in my body Lady Temptress Lady Temptress Meet me in my dreams Trace my dark sides In the depth of my subconscious Open the door To the slumbering sinner Rule my evil thoughts And let them all out Please don't leave me Lady Temptress Revel in my body Lady Temptress Lady Temptress You are the blood of Man The remedy to hypocrisy Please stay alive You keep my desires unlocked And my desires breed in you The Lady of temptation Hails the human nature Please don't leave me Lady Temptress Revel in my body Lady Temptress I beg on my knees Make love to me one more time 03. Mountain Of Doom
Evil imaginations of a time to come
Dreamly dead - Almost gone Nocturnal visits from the beyond I will travel down the Mountain of Doom At the highest point visible I behold the sun for the very last time I see an awful sight with awful beings As the sun goes down behind the Mountain of Doom The Mountain of Doom Has taken my life Almost there Trying to seize my mind Still aware Of their seek and find I have lost hold of myself Taken to the extent of my life Eternal sleep in a dreamworld's coffin Entombed beneath the Mountain of Doom The Mountain of Doom Has taken my life Almost there Trying to seize my mind Still aware Of their seek and find Now I'm there Enjoying my peace of mind In this lair Death is what you'll find 04. Dead Boys' Choir
Hallowed dances upon glorified graves
Twisted minds, blasphemous slaves Witches and demons are supporting the dead In worship of who they are lead Views of midnightly risen stones Sounds of clattering skulls and bones Like shadows they cling tight onto trees Proud of their evilness, they are God's enemies They are gathered here in the fivepointed star To close up ritual of a time so far End what was not ended before To meet the lord Satan they highly adore The Dead Boy's Choir whispers through the eternal fire 05. Sumerian Cry [Part III]
Nailed to a pleasant sleep
Under the fullmoon light Calculated ancient knowledge Of Arab's wise words I dreamed about a temple I saw it in my dreams A temple made of silver With emeralds above It is in the wood Spoken by animal lips My seal and my epitaph It is the Sumerian Cry I visited the temple In my imaginations it welcomed my I tried to understand the language And the sumerian cuneiform I read about their gods And in my dreams they spoke to me They showed me the tablets of fate Which since a battle belong to them It is in the wood Spoken by animal lips My seal and my epitaph It is the Sumerian Cry Then I saw the Ancient Ones Slumbering in their cave My dreams and my nightmares The liers in wait bred my fear I woke up from my dreams The night had become day Highly strung, rigid and struck I peered through the morning fog It is in the wood Spoken by animal lips My seal and my epitaph It is the Sumerian Cry 06. On Golden Wings
People! This is my world
You are just parts of it If I would have been a big tree The you would have been the fruits of by boughs But join me We're all kings Don't fear for your insanity Fly on its wings Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems In the end fruit always fall to the ground And new flowers soon blossom When watching you rise and fall My limbs proudly extend you above So join me We're all kings Don't fear for your insanity Fly on its wings Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems In the end fruit always fall to the ground And new flowers soon blossom When watching your rise and fall My limbs proudly extend you above So join me We're all kings Don't fear for your insanity Fly on its wings Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems Okay, beneath my magnificent crown of tree I am being stained by dead bark and wounded twigs Yes, it makes black holes..., but it opens doors And that's what is giving me places for only a king to rule Join me We're all kings Don't fear for your insanity Fly on its wings Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems 07. Ancient Entity
Beneath the fullmoon
Covered in gloomy clouds Obscure funeral spirits Evil shadows on haunted ground Every night they rise again To meet the lords of death again They live on as souls in eternity Forced by an Ancient Entity Through the mist I see A circle around the gathered souls In the mist I do belive In sacred power of ancient kind Knights of Satan, dead boys choir Ten ore more around a fire Invoking dragons and demons this event They are not the ones that God has sent I heard them whisper... "As you reach the border to the unknown land, Or when you are visited by the great lords of darkness... Take your time, have in mind and remember... This is not supposed to be a comfortable land..." Every night they rise again To meet the lords of death again They live on as souls in eternity Forced by an Ancient Entity 08. The Southernmost Voyage
A sharpened shaft shines through morning dew
Drawn out shadows walk on you Alone I stand to face the day Tortured by a deathly silent view Take my hand, please follow me I was your love and your destiny Let us over mistcovered mountains go To a place where our lost souls can be Not destined to a heaven built of lies and fantasy We will sail to the empire of ecstasy Travel through the back of out minds And soon forever dwell in necromancy The hall of Gods Where you belong If you have my blood And faith that strong May my words be engraved in the heart of every Man Try to understand them as good as you can "Drink to Lucifer or drink the blood of Christ All things are depending on your own dreamland" The hall of Gods Where you belong If you have my blood And faith that strong 09. Angels Far Beyond
Into the domain of wonderful throes
Ended in swelled domes Like walking a tapered path Displaying every phase in life Angels are whispering from far beyond I step on hallowed ground Whereon rose clustered bouquets are thrown I look back at my past A lonely tear is running from my eye Angels are whispering from far beyond Golden flames burned out Like mighty men who left in delight Bizarre but still romantic Remains scattered in the air Angels are whispering from far beyond Dreaded in a beautiful way... 10. I Am the King (...Of Dreams)
In the heat of the night
I went to forever walk In the obscure eternity. Through woods and thickets, Over mountains and through valleys. I left my body this evening And forever I will now live. Curious I travelled through an unknown land, Like an angel that had recently learned to fly. I left my fear with my body And with the ravens I flew On a road, of bleeding clouds, that never seemed to end. As the road suddenly divided I heard the ravens whisper: "Please come, fly with us! Please come, fly with us!" Confused and insecure I stopped for a while And beheld the ravens disappear. Then I heard a voice from the other road: "This is the path to the golden land! Come my friend, take my hand!" But an uncontrolled voice deep in my soul Screamed out: "I'll go my own way!" And straight ahead I flew, to continue my voyage And my search of the land of eternity. On the road I chose to go I saw no other men..., 'cause it was my own imagined road And I was alone to face its destination. What I saw around me were things I love. Things that I built with my heart, deep in myself. The temples I passed were my temples And the queen that welcomed me was my queen. My voyage was ended, and surrounded by the most Beautiful flowers I stood beholding my kingdom I would rule in all the future to come. As the dawn of the morning swept through my dreamland To adorn the leafs of the golden trees with dew And to bring me eternal light, I thought: "A life is only worth living for a king..." 11. A Winter Shadow [CD Bonus Song]
Black, cold and dismal
Sweeping through the nocturnal haze Led by the midnight breeze On its journey to its resting place A shadow out of time Hidden between different spheres Forsaken by memory To forever fly alone A Winter Shadow Under the haunted starlight Under the light of the moon Among stars so bright Delivered from Gods And cursed to an everlasting search Passed certain heavenly places Cried out at the gates of light No open door was seen Why it decided to assault At the throne of the Almighty It asked for hospitality But the hands of God Threw this stranger out A Winter Shadow Under the haunted starlight Under the light of the moon Among stars so bright Delivered from Gods And cursed to an everlasting search Time for a final step It searched through darkened space Ended the hellish gates stood proud But a shadow out of time Yet caught between spheres Is supposed to enter the night And forever fly alone... To forever fly alone... 12. The Seal [Outro]
