Timeless carriage
Of ebony
Distant marriage
Dark symphony
Midnight steed
Of destiny
Carry me...
To dedicate
Must sacrifice
If your spirit gains
It's worth the price
Older breed
Know their epitaph
Did they see

I got no answers
Just got many reasons
Can't hide
From this inner treason
This life will quickly make you so cold
When I put that bottle to my lips
It sucks out my soul, yeah yeah
Brother Darkness did I do you so wrong
Can't wait to take
What helps me live on
I share your empty pain
And I'm sorry you see
I got not time for no helpless apathy
My love is like a lone jackal's cry
Teardrops on my grave
The way that she fly
Standing there with your head in the sky
We see the world
Through two different sets of eyes
Deceiving others is easy you'll find
Lies to yourself will be your very first crime
My love is like a lone jackal's cry
Teardrops on my grave
The way that she fly

Breathe in
Breathe in the life we bleed
A sure sin
But then that's your living creed
Hold on
Nothing matters to you anyway
So long...
Living
You never try to hide your pain
Giving
It's so hard in our chains
So long
I've got to take the blame
Hold on...
Dreaming of everything we left behind
Grieving
What would you change a second time
Hope's gone
When nothing matters anymore
It's so long
Forever... in our souls... midnight

Rats they sit and contemplate
Amused and unafraid
Black sun setting through the ruins
A decade of silence
Thick black smoke is holding and choking
And there are those who have adapted
Their eye lights glow blood red
Nothing disrupts the empty
In the land of machineheads
On the plains of dry despair
The armies are charging
Corpses on angels
Golgotha is coming
The screaching din is piercing
The horror is started
A fact or a nightmare

Thinkin' about it, I'm confused
Can't do without it, I've been used
Judge man baby he's makin' it clear
Mother freedom are you there
Rollin', lookin' for the answer it's not there
Keep rollin'
Keep lookin' for the answer
Lookin' ahead now, I can't run
All the men try to hand me a gun
All the people talkin' baby I don't care
Mother freedom are you there
Rollin', lookin' for an answer it's not there
Keep rollin'
Keep lookin' for the answer
Lookin' at you man, I feel sad
Had a lot of things you never had
When you run from yourself
And tell me those lies
You can't look at me brother, in my eyes
Rollin', lookin' for the answer it's not there
Keep rollin'
Keep lookin' for the answer

Bugles beckon to red disaster
Deadmen gnaw
At coffined sod
Those who rode
With the one black master
Are now in league
With the knights of God
In courts of kings
A law is made
Of man's doom
His debts are paid
Of man's doom
He waits for one
But do not fear
Chaos is come
The Lion of Mitra broods his spell
Upon the bridge
To the gates of hell
The chain of life
Has stilled his wrath
'Til red death treads across your path

So deep, knee deep in confusion
If you follow your heart
Surely you will fall
Feel helpless
Stifled oppression
Is this love or a sick deception
So deep, knee deep in confusion
If you follow your heart
Surely you will fall
Feel helpless
Stifled oppression
Is this living or a sad obsession

Elusive dreamland
Behind the velvet curtain
Lysergic vision
Of just a mortal man
Utopic pastures
The edge of paradise
Blue sparkling falls laugh
With steaming jungle rains
I want to dream on a pillow of clouds
Cast aside this neon shroud
Make a bed in the riverside leaves
And ride a sunbeam up through the trees
I want to dream on a pillow of clouds
Cast aside this neon shroud
Make a bed in the riverside leaves
And ride a moonbeam up through the trees
