Terror inside my domain
Spawning a life so insane Horrors unspeakable name Haunting my soul again Three witches told me of this at the start They said it would be the death of my heart No feeling for life or loss of love My fate is to die on a throne of blood I have raised my voice in anger Unto the elder gods Royal blood drips from my dagger And I am lost I strived in lust for power And stained my path in blood Now the woods come to devour My throne of blood Violence has reigned on my life Sword drawn to combat the strife Once I had visions of light Now my fate is but to die The ghost of the king that I have slain Comes tormenting me again and again No power on earth can save my soul I should have trusted in the gods of old I have raised my voice in anger Unto the elder gods Royal blood drips from my dagger And I am lost I strived in lust for power And stained my path in blood Now the woods come to devour My throne of blood Terror inside my domain Spawning a life so insane Horrors unspeakable name Haunting my soul once again 02. Lux Eterna
In the corner of my empty room
There is a place where sunlight dies No seems to care For the lost and lonely ones Out of sight is out of mind Still I wait for mornings warm embrace I can't see into the dark Is someone watching me Now that it's all over What can you believe in when you kiss the night Feels like everything is dying Give me some eternal light People stand around as castles fall to crumbled ruins Don't lift a finger - he might just take your money or your life Slip away Hide behind an empty stare Much safer now pretending to be blind No more, I can't take it any more I'm leaving for a brighter place So much brighter Now that it's all over What can you believe in when you kiss the night Feels like everything is dying Give me some eternal light Not so long ago I'd have waited for a lifetime For the chance to think it over Someday I hope to find The truth in love and reason Such things I'll never find alone Waiting in darkness I've gone weary of the chase Still conscience lingers on so tired Goodbye promise me you'll hope for something after It's much brighter than today So much brighter 03. Spider
Spider, do you have a name
Moving like a black fist Moving like a dark flame Spider, when to sleep Sink it in my flesh Sink it in so deep Spider, under my bed What you did to my daddy's leg What you did to my head The spider, in my dreams Want to wake up Want to scream You don't know what you did To me with your wicked little mind You don't know what you do To me with your wicked little mind Never wonder why Spider, now I'm dreaming And my body is something to bite To suck it dry Tear into my gut, wouldn't you try If you were bigger If you were bigger You don't know what you did To me with your wicked little mind You don't know what you do To me with your wicked little mind Fucking little mind No, no, no So now I'm coming to kill you At least your awake I'm alive Tiny black eyes open Trying to hide Maybe I'll miss you Run into the night Find a place to go to sleep And dream of flies 04. Murder By Degrees
In a dream was playing the hero when
Lightning stopped my nerves were shattered Dark laughter said that I was much too late For the very last time Night again and somehow colder Breath escapes in a crystal haze and I Chase panic in the black of a whispered scream As blood turns to crimson ice Murder by degrees And frost killing time I still see my brothers eyes Burning through the freeze Vision clouds to the sight of a dream and then Grey eyes of a snow wolf fills the skies Feel the hot sting of winters dying kiss A glass angel chills my heart Murder by degrees And frost killing time I still see my brothers eyes Burning through the freeze Snow creatures swarming as sleep comes I fall I'm pulled through a crack in the ice 05. No Sign From Above
We have searched throughout eternity
To find the hidden truth But it still remains a mystery Man doesn't have a clue And we strive so hard for sanity That we can't find the news What happened to serenity I thought we paid our dues Waiting for a sign Waiting for a sign from above Waiting for a sign Waiting for a sign from above As the tyrants lead us all astray Through the timeless winds of war There will be no other games to play When our bones rot on the shore And it seems we've nothing more to say Than the things we've said before We must break out of the molded clay Get back our wings and soar Don't wait for a sign There will be sign come from above Get your wings and fly Wash away the stain of blood Yet the chains are still unbroken And you haven't learned to fly If we don't get back our wings We're sure to die Don't wait for a sign There will be no sign from above Get your wings and fly Wash away the stain of blood 06. In Gein We Trust
Father said the crop was going to be a good one
A lot of holes to dig, a lot work to be done Good old Gein goes to pay a visit to a stone Maybe he'll keep you company if you're all alone Gein we trust in you we trust in me Gein, but what is this, what does it mean Gein, no we don't know this place Have you seen Gein Mister Ed comes back from the dead to ply his trade Skull cup-a-soup fast on a bony chair he's made Lots of parts all packed away in boxes nice and clean Human nipple necklace, your a scream Mister Gein He's happy to watch the kids till you get back Let's go out to the smokehouse, something new upon the rack Nothing really showing through the windows all day They're painted black so we don't know what to say Wearing what face flayed gray and frozen Sad sick dead faces, he's got them by the dozen He becomes the person that he'd taken way back when So he can kill himself and still live to kill again 07. Flesh And Fury
There you are in jet white allegiance
Sending words of wishful thinking through the air There you stand on the thin ice of believing Squared for battle, you here the trumpets call Faith take hold, cold smile disguises Kneel and breed deception Then the world, look through it's fingers Finds there's just not much to see In our power glory to us one and all Fell no love in freedom Don't cry, it's only thunder in your head Driving flesh and fury There you are in a flash of frozen moments On tomorrows edge and waiting at the gate There you stand killing all your words of love Whispering hooks in the mouth of fate Fall from grace, talk from the corners Raise your hands to heaven Then from the shadows choice comes crawling out In silence, sister victory Can you see them come to rescue me Mother reaching out to compassion Can you see them standing on the other side The warning, god has come for you Here we are a circle of shadows Waiting in the wings Hare we are stand patiently watching The wheels set in motion Over-night sensation breaking Overkill religion Back from the alley, truth comes screaming out For mothers of mercy In our power glory to us alone and all Feel no love in freedom Don't cry it's only thunder in your head Driving flesh and fury 08. No Touch
Just apart of me afraid to call my own
Locked inside these barren walls - My heart When she appeared I knew the meaning of emotion But I don't remember feeling Another part of me I need to call my own Turns to face this precious sight - My hope And then she said to me I wonder why you see me like you do Such an innocent child Like Alice trapped in her looking glass She is my agony my sorrow Someone to follow through the rain No touch no feeling of life And here I am believing what she tells me She's just a shadow on the pane As the master of illusion I can't go on Breathing life into the picture on the wall But when she sings I hear the happiness of angels I close my eyes And when I look again no ones there at all She is my agony my sorrow Someone to follow through the rain No touch no feeling of life And here I am believing what she tells me She's just a shadow on the pane And when she came to me again Out from the wall She showed me her disease It's closer now And when she spoke to me again She speaks in whispers only She wanted more of me She opened all the windows I took her hand and I threw my mind away Just for a moment I knew love 09. Hack It Off
Hack
So here you are lift your head You fed on dawns early light, you're so right I'm a puppet on a string You're a thing Unreal you rise like coiled diamond surprise You make my bed I'm wed to you What can i do, i could Hack it off and find a way Start another life today Grease the guillotine, make it pay Bye bye baby, bye bye Iron studded icon you molten lead music Into the greedy ears of America So they can swallow every drop Of your cathode ray amore A moray eel steals into a thousand hearts of darkness While Cupid's bow snaps like the spine of love And he pulls out his bazooka instead So many dead Hack it off and find a way Start another life today Grease the guillotine, make it pay Bye bye baby, bye bye Mirror windshield shards fly like fractured facts I ain't no saint so paint me black And send me somewhere I don't care If I made a point it's just afly in the ointment Anoint me holy mother of maggots For I have sinned against love What's love? I think I love it, but i want to Hack, hack 10. Forbidden Zone
I've traversed on my own
To the forbidden zone The place where All the others never dare to go To reach beyond the norms A fusion to all forms To go where no one else has gone before Open all those hidden magic doors This is the is the place of magical unknowns No one can help you here inside the zone You've got to make it happen on your own You've got to go yourself you cannot phone Deep in the heart Of the forbidden zone Here I am master of my destiny Deep in the heart Of the forbidden zone Is where dreams turn into reality Time has come to pass I have to take the chance Reaching out into the unknown Throw away the fear Let the magic appear Inside the forbidden zone Deep in the heart Of the forbidden zone Here I am master of my destiny Deep in the heart Of the forbidden zone Is where dreams turn into reality 11. She's Fading
A painting of a young girl sleeping, framed in silver
While all her life is time Winter is failing dignity... she draws the shade And lying to her grace Thinks she feels security... Where nothing dies She speaks in soft filter smiles Tastes the rain of memories water... can't heal her pain She stares into a mirrors cracked and broken lines A little girl waves goodbye She's fading as her hour glass runs out So sorry for the pain Still waiting for a girl from the magazines A torn and yellowed page In her darkened room she cries For faces, now shining halos Can't believe what time has done for her Can't stop thinking through the frame She's fading as her hour glass runs out So sorry for the pain While all her life is time Winter finds a place for her, and draws the shade |
