Within the realms unseen
The missing have returned Deformed beyond recognition Remains of bodies burned When all is lost Swallowed by depths of darkness The gates to the kingdom of horrors You've passed, now dwell in madness Flames of eternity Burn in immortality Skin melts so horribly Revealed surreality Breathing blackened air Within the walls of gore Behold the view of disgust The secrecies of horror Eyes of fear, torture is near Tearful cries, you hear Discovering beyond death Secrets you will find The horror you'll meet Will capture your mind Secrecies of horror Secrecies of horror 03. Twisted Truth
A God before god
Summon the demons to enter your body Ceremonies to attain the blessing A faith in secrecy No respect for the weak The victim of hypocrisy The philosophy chosen to live by Has brought you your mortality A reason to die No remission of sins commited When you were fighting the lie Actions begged to be killed A sacrifice chosen Laughter at the sight of the blood That has spilled Respond to the inclination within A desire fulfilled Pride, for the slaughter is done While being thrilled Praise who guards your soul And for whom you have killed Fools are the followers of masters they deity Conversion does not save your from death, die Twisted truth Twisted truth A juvenile mind mislead In the name of your lord you lived Serving your death A life full of sin, good is evil Believing the unholy words you read Commandments are there to break them Live by your own rules instead Proclaim the salvation you met 05. Lost Souls
Instinct of immortality
Become a part of eternity Spirits of evil into the essence The very creature of a living entity Succeeding lives A black soul's purification A new being on the path of evolution The way to it's destination Cycle of rebirth The spiritual law of continuity Mirages of earthly existence It shall not cease with the body Survival of death From one incarnation into another Reflections of an unknown reality Summons what can't be discovered Fight to release from the cycle To reach the divinity From where it arose, once more descend Into an inner mental unity Birth into a new life Loss of personality The immortal element in man Shall live a real life in infinity Lost souls Lost souls 07. Land Of Tears
Dark sides of life
Unspoken by those in search of the light Darkness they will find Rejecting all evil, taken possession of mankind Fighting what can't be fought Minds penetrated, souls will be taken Days turn into nights Bodies are falling, hear death calling Throughout the centuries Attempts for protection prayers, religion Signs make you aware Of it's mass domination, a divine dispensation Land of tears Indulge in the temptation Your mind will show you the way Ghosts of the damned will guard you In this journey into decay Land of tears Land of tears 09. Prophetic Revelations
Philosophy of time
The knowledge of the unknown Ages in which the future was seen Visions of hell were shown Nightmares foretell the unexpected Gifts from the human mind Mysterious spells, the art of magic Obsessions of a frightened kind Apocalyptic fears Of the course this domain will take Ancient insanity Self-destruction we create Gaze into a blackened void In search of what you will see The emptiness surrounding you Reveals you the things that will be Dominate the mystic powers Through darkened skies they rise Eyes behold the past and future Where damnation lies Revelation Revelation REVELATION! Immortal ones watch chaos prevail Decades of darkness will come Taking over the lives on earth There will be none Truth for the quest Not to reach by the mind of men Prophecies for a dying race Fear of the predictions from then Revelation Revelation Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn! 11. Testimony
The gates to my subconscious, open wide
Hear and remember, the incantations I recite Reveal the power, no longer known by man Possess, before the ancients rule the earth once again Beneath the seas and skies of the human mind The abyss always wide before me Uncertain what truth or lies I will find Appear and share my wisdom, for I know thee Descend into the foul places of death I fear for my flesh, for I have seen my epitaph The price I pay on this lonely journey Is softened and I hope the Gods will have mercy From a time before a time a cold voice has spoken From a land beyond the stars I evoke thee In exchange for wisdom, what evil have I woken What terrible faith shall consume me? I've seen the future I've seen the past I've seen the sight of whom causeth horror I've seen my place of rest I've travelled on spheres, I've seen things beyond imagination The things I have learned are the most pure revelation Obliterated are the lines of my life My blood cries out as I make my last sacrifice I cannot see, I cannot move, 'cause sight is failing me Knowing that the beasts of the spaces claim my blood My blood turns black but frightened I cannot be The bargain is sealed, the price to pay is to rot 13. Presence Of The Dead
Welcome to the realm of the dead
Back to where they wish to be Messages from another life No death lasts for eternity Practicers of the sacred science Seek the shapeless company To reveal the secrets hidden in Dimensions we cannot see... we cannot see A language unheard before Undead voices, explore The threshold of death, I have met The presence of the dead You claim to have seen my destiny So tell me what it is gonna be Mislead my desire All evil you admire... Liar! Liar! Unconsciousness take me to these Places undreamt of awake Face the mysteries Manifestations of the deceased initiate... initiate Hear me, I summon thee From where all souls conspire Speak and appear before me Tell me my deepest desire 15. Stigmatized
Open the book of life
To die a second death Burn in the lake of fire Next to the false prophet Face the thrones of judgement Decide who lives who dies Glorify the priests of unholiness Bring forth your lies Die in your sin, weakling End in sight by his might No power over the sacred ones Kings of a thousand years Heavenly fires waste those Who failed to see or hear The words as old as time Written and foretold Marked will be their bodies Their souls they have sold There's no mercy, save me From this purgatory Stigmatized Stigmatized |
