Alter of the sun god,
We melt before your flames. Children of darkness Bound in human chains Hellfire kindles the hatred in our hearts All love has frozen from you, we are torn apart To the sun we are blind As we watch our world die From the ashes of demise Our burning phoenix shall arise Soldiers of fortune fighting unto death Condemned in armour sold for their last breath Upright citizens to decadence enslaved Peak of pleasure waiting in your graves To the sun we are blind As we watch our world die From the ashes of demise Our burning phoenix shall arise As our dreams turn into burning ash We crystalise in flames, then fly To the sun we are blind As we watch our world die From the ashes of demise Our burning phoenix shall arise Corporate fascists feast upon corpse of man Psycho assassins from the holy land Fiery destruction? our salvation found. 02. Resisting The Ghost
Living dead vampires
Trying to taunt me back to the grave My black and macabre past Summoning me forever a slave Black sun arising Howling moon it screams As spider's web she's weaving again Hallucinations sucking me in Resisting the ghost My former life host Resisting the ghost Echoed celebrations Haunt loves hollow room Motivation mortally trapped In regrets obsessive tomb A stake she's thrusting Into my dying heart Power igniting the past Awakes me from this coffin at last Resisting the ghost Resisting the ghost She was the one I love most I've rejected the ghost 03. Skullflower
She plants a seed in my head
Opium narcosis hypnotic dread I feel her death growing in me Like a cancer, yet I crave the disease Mesmeried by her strange power Beauty and death in union She blossoms in the 13th hour Skullflower Hollow skull emotionless grin Arcane tunnels sucking me in Black vortex in her eyes Reminds me of a love that died Lady death evolves from a flower Growing upon my own tomb Into her ground I'm sinking lower Skullflower 04. Aphrodite's Winter
Frozen land mesmerised by her arcane mystery
Goddess of the underworld cold queen of lost beauty Gazed upon earth's battleground At mankind's misery With her saddness came love's death As violence slowly siezed Her wheeping tears of darkness crytallised the earth As warmth turned colder, her grief chilled away all mirth Frosted armies paused in war now wearing beards of snow Perishing forevermore, her bite numbs to the bone Housed in icy caves, men of peace rest in these times of woe Shaking in glass coffins, waiting for the sun to glow She cast her spell on earth and all emotion died Her languid heart dulled the skies with love's demise She crystallised the earth with water from her eyes A frozen sun now hangs above this land's demise. 05. The Empty Mirror
Chasing my own death through life
A future trapped in yesterday When everything was fresh and bright Then innocence found its grave Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, youth taker Summer came in rays of light Overwhelming joy it gave Blinding all life's pain from sight Golden days could not be saved Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, youth taker In dark caves Wisdom reigns Awareness dulls ambition's flame Like a corpse In soil laid Trust and faith long since decayed Togetherness, broken mess Devotion sought and found in vain Blind fatigue debased intrigue Love was traded in for pain A path I followed with blind eyes Running all this way to find The terminal of painful truth Where purity and innocence died Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, youth taker Dying face of beauty fades Before my eyes as you ascend Sail away with the sun To never feel my touch again Free once more to roam in hell This lonely world represents hell Solitude shares the pain A secret lover til the end I have lost the will to live Will it come to pass? Need the strength to carry on Must forget the past... The empty mirror tells no lies Reflecting a transparent face Just nothingless is recognised I'm stranded in a long-lost place Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, I'm a stranger Here I stand ? all alone Before a cross my concience pleads yesterday A thorn embraced as the future slowly bleeds Awaken now, bury the past, Put to rest, no longer grieve Chase the light, pass the gates Leave this graveyard of lost dream. 06. Nocturnal Fist
Riding this blackened life, this odyssey
Searching for the keys that set you free From emptiness, futility, mountain of strength ? you can be Stop hiding in the void, come ride with me In the darkest hour, wear your crown of stars Pain and funeral power strengthens your black heart Reading through the lines that square you in Believing in yourself, your only sin A routine life of sheep in line, stand out child, You will shine In darkness you alone can be divine In your darkest hour you are made of stars Pain and funeral power strengthens your black heart Black odyssey, a search to be free Look for the keys, come ride with me See through the lies with funeral insight Then you will shine in darkness divine Raising a fist to nocturnal skies Slaying through the mist that clouds your eyes Senses alive, see through their lies Death routine nine to five Screaming awake to life as the world dies. 07. Iconoclast
Guardians of darkness set my spirit free
From this land of madness, give me something to believe Your system and religion control me like a disease Strength and determination Almost let you bleed They'll let you bleed No god's,no masters, no authority Only yourself Divine disciples control your destiny, Believe in yourself Baptism of fire into society Crucified and brainwashed, told just what to believe Drowned in holy water to cleanse in purity Guilty for existing, your mind will never be free You'll never be free No god's, no masters, no authority Only yourself Divine disciples control your destiny, Believe in yourself You're strong without god, everyone is a star There is no authority, but yourself No god's,no masters, there is no god but man Man made gods and idols, you think can save man? If you become suicidal, you're made to believe they can! Sins for which I'm guilty, I am by my own hand Forgiveness I'm not seeking, I'll live by my own command Your own command No god's, no masters, no authority Only yourself Divine disciples control your destiny, Believe in yourself 08. Black Robed Avenger
Black robed avenger
Rides upon a white horse through my mind In search of love he finds A spectral planet lost in space and time He dreams of paradise Suspended animation greets his eyes Across barren deserts, a universal wilderness he seeks Palaces crumbled Skeletons remain of fallen kings Bleak storms and hurricanes He braved ti discover loves atomic grave He found salvation Within a void of loneliness and pride The land of selfish man A frozen world in winter's hands A weary traveler Stares into the heart of human kind Souls of planet earth Entombed inside a giant ball of ice 09. Congregation Of Sorcerers
Born in the casket of society's decay
On your knees to be rewarded with strife Grim possession in search of afterlife Unification of the magical ones Congregation in far off skies Conformist slaves,trapped in earth's cage Grave acceptance of plastic lies In the church of your brains demise Unification of the magical ones Congregation in far off skies Bone-made chariot,carry this lost soul Past the stars beyond lampblack skies To where the sorcerers of life we'll find Unification of the magical ones Congregation in far off skies 10. Halo Of Fire
Land of suffering beneath a rotting sky
Witches are burning, black flags fly Smouldering pyre of evil empire Infernal darkness, ghost of mankind Enemies of god-skulls stacked high Sinners, non-believers,liars must die Crucification of Satan's children On the holy one's day of retribution Yeah, oh yeah,the end of the world draws near Yeah, oh yeah,good and bad controlled by fear They're clensing the world of sin Ridding the world of evil By sinister and evil means-black god of destruction is king Halo of fire-burning funeral pyre Behold the fiery earth appears broken Locusts swarm out from the pit now open Abandon awakens to eternal nothingness Halo of fire crowning his darkness. |
