See the portal, gate to madness
Locked forever in a veil of shame Deny extraction - Thirst for disgrace Watch his break - The emperor's killed Light of the day - Shadows from beyond Scaffold of steel - The throne has gone Dethroned emperor The foot of the stairs, dimension in might The king sits, his eyes are glass Growing of the small - The laughter's fall Can you deny - Remaining cries? Descent of the lords - Into the trap Existence and hate - Unseen gate Dethroned emperor. 02. Circle Of The Tyrants
After the battle is over
And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam The days have come When the steel will rule And upon his head A crown of gold Your hand wields the might The tyrant's the precursor You carry the will As the morning is near I sing the ballads Of victory and defeat I hear the tales Of frozen mystery The new kingdoms rise By the circle of the tyrants In the land of darkness The warrior, that was me Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and war Are like everlasting shadows Where the winds cannot reach The tyrant's might was born And often I look back With tears in my eyes Grotesque glory None will ever see them fall And hunts and wars Are like everlasting shadows. 03. Morbid Tales
By burial this night
Nitocrys weaves the spell Down the vault's misty light The lurking Sphinx dwells Agony and nightmare To Yog sothoth they noan Nightfalls, morbid affair Beard the faceless one In the nuclear domain Arcades lost in eternal skries Written by the insane Nitocrys orders must Agony and nightmare To Yog sothoth they noan Nightfalls, morbid affair Beard the faceless one Mummy's rebirth by wrath Below the temple of nile Vanished in Osiris' path Above us reigns the Necrophile Agony and nightmare To Yog sothoth they noan Nightfalls, morbid affair Beard the faceless one Morbid Tales. 04. Suicidal Winds
Listen
As the mist is rising And uncovers all that's lost Try and mend what you can barely feel Even if it is forgotten and done Watch out who is still on the throne While the sighs of life are borne The bloodless race of old As startled The flow of denial without remembering The flood is still in motion The ground on fire all along Leave the thought of crying Deny and harm the endless day Where will be vulgarity In these immune sights Along the way i'm leaving this wreck Without the suicidal horde The day will come And I'll be able to see The flag rising of the free Until eternity. 05. Visual Aggression
Thousand decades in vain
(Again) they strive for final completion Forgotten are the fast sins And the perfect creation calls What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Once, I slept in confidence Sounds like I've been a fool Now, as my will is invisible (They shall) face the evoked curse alone... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression Just fool yourself - a world of ignorance Will tear the walls - of dreams apart Vast signals - memories in black Sense is beyond - distorted any balance Flood of tears - you'll have to drink As the grail - is lying on the floor Don't ask for another messiah No martyr will save the stupid (again) Is truth what you believe? A prophet's tears will dry... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression The watcher's eyes are closed As the dust covers the madmen again There'll be a new king And I was born to encounter him... What will the wind bring these days? The smell of self-deception? Masses of dullness, a spiral cage As they ride on visual aggression. |
