Tracks



01. Vampire Sun

Skull of god with the devils eyes
Crowned in fire sodden sky
Beaming rays of genocide
Into virtues magic lie

Illusive myth of light enslaves you
Vampire sun it drains you

Beg the sword for liberty
Fall before the king of flies
Delirium is flowing free
In our obedience disease

The gift of life is reaped of value
Vampire sun it drains you

Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descend into the pyre

Monolithic angel
Unveil your king to this planet disabled
Mummify the cosmos
With the vision of divinity yeah!

Electric vulture flying high
Through the universal eye
To cleanse the heavens with earth soul
The excretion of mankind

Feeding from the fangs of virtue
Vampire sun it drains you

Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descent into the pyre

02. Hopkins, The Witchfinder General

She rides to the sabbath
Veiled under silver light
To make love to the devil
Necromancer of nyte
Within the mystic forest
She sets your world alight
Her coven conjure the demons
Herald the sacrifice yeah

Lucifera Vampirella
She bares the mark of the devil

Queen of the witches
Her kingdom is your hell
Black masses in the convent
Priests under her spell
The crops have withered
The sky bends upside down
Her name is Lucifera
The mutant preachers yell yeah

My name is Hopkins
I'm the witchfinder general
My impotence deceives me
You beauty turns me pale
Winds haunt the village
Satan's ghost awakes
The world falls into darkness
As she melts at the stake yeah

Matthew Hopkins witchfinder general
Your soul condemned to hell

03. Utopian Blaster

Today the sun refused to shine
On this war infested land
Beyond our sky, the lord of life
Sending crossbones tumbling down
Citadel on a traveling stone
Magic wisdom our only home
As flesh impostors fight the master
Of forces to them unknown yeah!

Blinded by the power
Life spell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master

Sculptured space in plastic hands
Evil empire of mankind
Blazing light from the sword of mars
Shall destroy this utopian farce
Giant mass of the children high
Sleeping on beds of air
Limitations we've unbound
Come and join us well take you there - yeah

Struck ever after
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master now!

Legend of Earth after
Sleep in dusted grace
Time has ceased our fortune shall begin
Bathe in fountains of laughter

Cleansed by endtime rapture
Embrace the final dawn
Fatal glow - sirens in the wind
Conquest oh we shall capture yeah!

We race upon the unicorn
To a land of towers green
While soldiers march into the void
Guided by mans funeral hand
Golden souls riding on the wind
From the path of nature sinned
Cosmic army military
Our weapons be only love - yeah

Struck by the power
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Face your master now

04. Night Of The Seagulls

We are the blind dead
No eyes inside our head
Our senses lead us to your nightmare
Centuries of death we wear
Pharaoh's cross in dust we bare
Immortal horses slowly ride us to you

Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise

The shores unearthly dead
Mournful mothers chilled with dread
Leave their offspring to knights templar
They rise from the sea
At midnight the prize you see
Tied to the post - a virgin screaming

Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise - oh!!!

Into our castle led
Seagulls howling overhead
The ritual you face
You shall no after
Your blood we drink for eternity
Flesh unto the crabs we leave
And feed your heart unto Aquarian master

Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise

05. The Carnival Bizarre

Ride with me on a shooting star
Through galaxies of death we chase
Skeletal king of paradise
Cosmic crown is the jewel you wear

Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rockin' hard

Silver mountain of razor blades
The masses ascend to a golden lie
Evil angels in bloody lakes
Await to celebrate their fate

Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rocking hard

Metamorphisised
From the ghost machine we fly
Through circles of gold
To our celestial throne
Galaxies have died
Dragons breath has frozen
Chaos in serpent forms
Manifest the universe

Crystal phoenix of midnight sky
Carry the burning souls away
Legions of frost we leave behind
Celestial gardens of love we share

Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rockin' hard

II Freak out of the mellow man

Cosmic psychonaut
Earth into skies last port
Space turning over now
We elevate our thoughts
Wilderness as we abort, oh yeah!!!

06. Inertia's Cave

Inertia's cave surrounds my heart
Stalactites crashing down
In stinking shades delusion cascades
Of torment, yes I crave
Here with the snakes
My venom dehydrates
Into my stream I hear your scream
Sucking at my veins

My final plea, enveloped
In rapture seething
Inertia's cave dementia echoes
From the ceiling
Staring down, heavens eyes are bleeding from black stars
In crimson rain, seasons blend in cold arms dying
Where flowers die, my spirit thrives
I glisten in your pain

The burning eyes of truth devise
The torture master plan
Mythology
Poisoned reality
Rattling bones
Festering insane

My final plea, enveloped
In rapture seething
Inertia's cave dementia echoes
From the ceiling
Staring down, heavens eyes are bleeding from black stars
In crimson rain, seasons blend in cold arms dying

Light my way
Through the weeping veil
Violet seas
Autumn bride we sail
Kiss the wind
Rejoice on wave of grave
Desolate face
Torment now erased

Copper sunsets
Metal shore of hope alive
Under clouds of thorns
Frozen moon
Tranquil through the mist of pain
To you we sail...

Frail is the mind
Who lets me inside
Now your blood runs cold
A parasite at your feast prepared
For wealth decay
The withered wreath
Your weakness made for you
Before your time society
Will take this from you too!

My final plea, enveloped In rapture seething
Inertia's cave - dementia echoes
From the ceiling
Staring down, heavens eyes are bleeding from black stars
In crimson rain, seasons blend in cold arms dying

Light my way
Through the weeping veil
Violet seas
Autumn bride we sail
Kiss the wind
Rejoice on wave of grave
Desolate face
Torment now erased
... ...dancefloor dementia...

07. Fangalactic Supergloria

With fangs of lust we hail the night
From tombs arise in mortal fright
Feeding from skies of morphia
Fangalactic Supergoria

Slaves of virtue rotting in the sun
Souls for mutilation is sacrificial mass
Pleading for heavens on their bleeding knees
We dream of nothing but this black euphoria

As through skies icy veins we glide
Blades of lightning cleave your mind
Exploding stars, trembling earth
Fangalactic Supergoria

Sin - doctrination in the church of flies
Mental extinction kingdom of demise
Monarchy of corpses state of suicide
Grants you nothing but this black euphoria!

Energy forces from the grave
Soul invaders of mystique
As cadaver we roam the planes
Abandoning chains of flesh

Uncoil the serpent
In duality you are one
Between life and death
Find the threshold you are born

Fall to black master
Awake yourself from life
Back through centuries you die
Ahead of time

Slaves of virtue rotting in the sun
Souls for mutilation in sacrificial mass
Monarchy of corpses, state of suicide
Grant you nothing but this black euphoria

Energy forces from the grave
Soul invaders of mystique
As cadavers we roam the planes
Abandoning chains of flesh...

08. Blue Light

Waning autumn, winter blue
Tonight we dance in praise of you
Oh reaper scream a silent serenade
Of tunes above earths grave
Enigma bites our world in grey
To kill the morning jester fade
Our host of nocturn is the ghost of day
The cosmos for you paved

The milky way pours over me
We own the stars and night
Angel of death has set us free
Blue light of pure insight

Planetary suicide
From violence of red sun we hide
Long live disciples of eternal night
In praise of moonlit sky

The milky way pours over me
At one with stars and night
Angel of death has set us free
Blue light of pure insight

Take his hand
To the land of dreams
Fear not his purple might
Truths unfold
With the grace of death
Iron lace ties our embrace

09. Palace Of Fallen Majesty

We are guided by the moon
Into our palace tomb
Shrine of dead king Midas
Whose gold turned into stone
Children of the grave
Entombed in a faceless day
Are we the ones insane
To carry a spirit flame

Skeleton of centuries
Oh solemn majesty
You'll stand again
Unveil the key
Grant life to we
On this violet night
We await your sight

As the splendour falls
Upon these naked walls
In the haunted garden
A velvet raven calls
Temples born of ice
Release a solemn chime
Into twilight thunder
Within the sands of time

Skeleton of centuries
Eternal mysteries
Released from pain
Again we die
To breathe in vain
Seared wealth of truth
By your touch restored

Summer seized in the grip of twilight fair
As we conceive to retrieve our rightful fortune
Mourn not we, in lost shapes of time reborn
To bathe in seas of you - oh blackest dawn

We find salvation in a palace of dead kings
Hold a knife to the dawn - climb into the dream

10. Electric Grave

Myriad atomic spectres transcend
From the goodness of earth ad amen
Electric legion on a voyage way
Beyond the end yes
The end
Invocation through a crystal coffin pipeline

One second in eternity
A lifetime in this grave

Electric grave
Soul and mind are saved
Colossal incantation
Human mushroom cloud

Ambassador of this mortuary condemned
Under a scythe the silence of a din
Howling vortex begging repent for their sins -
Yes their sins
Celebration of life we have found without them

Empire falling down
Our beauty shall reign

Electric grave
Soul and mind are saved
Colossal incantation
Human mushroom cloud

Press the final button now!
See the melting man
Radiation madness
Earth snorted by satan yeah!

From the electric grave
True believers saved
From the electric grave

From the electric grave
Astral stairs are paved
True believers saved

Snowblind, we burn we meditate
Final vision of people fading away
Together our souls will join minus hands
No promise but we shall find our land

From the last nightmare...
