01. The Beginning Of The End

[Instrumental]

02. Perverse Perfection

Hey baby, I'm your kind. A perverted twisted mind.
Tempting like an open wound.
I'm the dragon of my kind. Pure corruption set align.
Roaring at a blood red moon.

I love resistance.
I hate you.
Perverse perfection.
Dead, dead you.

Forbidden thoughts are released. I succumb to them with ease.
A perfect midnight crime.
I'm a monster of a man and soon to Hell I will descend.
But now I feel alive.

I love the begging.
I hate you.
I love the hunting.
I loathe you.
I love resistance.
I hate you.
Perverse perfection.
Dead, dead you.

Such a shame to be caught in my prime when there were so many others, just waiting in line.

I won't go away. I won't let you sleep sound and safe.
I will always be there. Haunting your mind night and day.

Now I'm sitting in the chair. No perfection for me to share.
I'm guessing this is the end.
But, baby, we had so much fun. Too bad you managed to run.
No matter. To hell with me you'll descend.

I love resistance.
I hate you.
Perverse perfection.
Dead, dead you.

03. God V2.0

What only you know
What only you can see
What only you can be
Then I'll be a God

Staring at this abstract world. Where am I now?
Always present, never here. What is this world?

Souls - dreams, everywhere. I will reap them all.
All this power, I'm overwhelmed. It will be mine.

Show me what lies beyond
Show me what I can't see
Guide me inside the warmth
Be my guide towards the light
What only you know
What only you can see
What only you can be
Then I'll be a God

Darkest pacts, Atrocities, Awaits the world.
God have mercy on your souls.

Show me what lies beyond
Show me what I can't see
Guide me inside the warmth
Be my guide towards the light
What only you know
What only you can see
What only you can be
Then I'll be a God

"I see now how I came to be.
My legacy is power divine.
I will endure, I will prevail.
Phoenix Rising, paragon of might."

God rewritten!

Show me what lies beyond
Show me what I can't see
Guide me inside the warmth
Be my guide towards the light
What only you know
What only you can see
What only you can be
Then I'll be a God

04. Monster

I'm a spectre. Spiritual. I am not physical.
I'm a ghost of my former self. Omnipotent before my fall.
Take them. Make them on their knees.
Make them act on all my words.
Make a new paradise. Let my powers regenerate.

Then I'll be more than a man. Make them be less.
Make them afraid. Make them feel pain.
The same as I felt. When they took my life.
Oh, they will pay. Yes they will pay.

Cynics. Evil. Cruel. They're beasts. I am not a monster.
I don't cower. I'm not tainted. I am not a monster.

Understand. I wish no harm. You will be my angels.
You will be in my design. Biologic mainframe.

Now I'll be more than a man. Make them be less.
Make them afraid. Make them feel pain.
The same as I felt. When they took my life.
Oh, they will pay. Yes they will pay.

Cynics. Evil. Cruel. They're beasts. I am not a monster.
I don't cower. I'm not tainted. I am not a monster.

05. Altered In Red

Sledge on the anvil. I will hammer through.
Uphold entanglement of time.

I will sacrifice my soul, to attain and reach our goal.
I will be renewed.

Altered in red. Time torn to shreds.
Sickening fate. Gruesome fate.
I am divine therefore I will align
The corruption of time.

Pour out the anger. She must not endure.
She must be slaughtered like a lamb.

I will sacrifice my soul, to attain and reach our goal.
I will be renewed.

Altered in red. Time torn to shreds.
Sickening fate. Gruesome fate.
I am divine therefore I will align
The corruption of time.

I'll fly away on a crimson set of wings.

06. Mind Divided

Welcome inside our mind. All are present doing fine.
We're expanding. Multiply.

I will kill you. I'll revive. I'll condamn you. You'll be safe.
Reconstruct. Obliterate.

Breathe it in. Feel salvation.
Breathe it in. Pure damnation.
Breathe it in. I'll rip out your heart.

In a bliss and fill with rage. So consistent yet so vague.
Diabolic and divine.

Masochistic. Fragile soul. Incoherent. Chasing goals.
Standing ground. Step aside.

Breathe it in. Feel salvation.
Breathe it in. Pure damnation.
Breathe it in. I'll rip out your heart.

Your life is over. Your mind divided.
Your prime is over. We're all inside.

"Listen to us. Fantastic is an understatement for the wonders
we have seen. We are all one. We are all God. Hi. Nice to meet you."

Here I am in control. Say your prayers. Save your soul.
I'm Messiah. I am God.

I've done everything she's asked. Now it's time to turn the tide
Delacroix, Step aside.

Breathe it in. Feel salvation.
Breathe it in. Pure damnation.
Breathe it in. I'll rip out your heart.

Your life is over. Your mind divided.
Your prime is over. We're all inside.

07. Heart Of Darkness

I'm so high. High inside.
I've done something cold and unknown.
I have doubts. I have remorse.
I have lost my soul.

Turn it around. Safe and sound.
No one knows just what I have done.
Extacy of agony. Pleasure in the pain.

Hide behind a curtain of lies. Heart of darkness. Cold as ice.
Hide behind a curtain of lies. Heart of darkness. Cold as ice.

I know it's wrong. I know what evil I have done.
I know it's wrong. I know what evil I have done.

Hide behind a curtain of lies. Heart of darkness. Cold as ice.
Hide behind a curtain of lies. Heart of darkness. Cold as ice.

08. Sleep Eternal

Sleep eternal. Sleep, you'll be free.
Sleep eternal. Close your eyes then you will.
See my splendor, see my beauty, see the realm of time.
Don't you worry. Don't be scared. All will be revealed.
Awake yet you're dreaming. Know you'll be divine.

No one's intervening. Now you will be mine
No tomorrow. Without me by your side.
No tomorrow. Without my soft embrace.

Not awaken. Don't open your eyes.
Revelation. It all will come.

What has happened? Who has done this? What has broken loose?
Don't you worry. Don't be scared. All will be revealed.

No tomorrow. Without me by your side.
No tomorrow. Without my soft embrace.
No tomorrow. I can't let this go on.
No tomorrow. I will make it undone.

All are dreaming. And my name is carved in stone.
You're my chosen. You'll never be alone.
What has happened? Who has done this?
What has broken loose.
Don't you worry. Don't be scared. All will be revealed.

No tomorrow. Without me by your side.
No tomorrow. Without my soft embrace.

09. Dreamworld Messiah

She is the light, our dreamworld Messiah.
Believe in her might and she'll pave the way.

She is the saviour of us all.
Standing behind her. Standing tall.
She's a messiah of our time.
Leaving our old world far behind

Our righteous path forever on.
Victorious and strong.

She is the light, our dreamworld Messiah.
Believe in her might and she'll pave the way.

Watching our future bright ahead.
Our enemies torn to shred.
Mysteries of time will unfold.
Our escapade won't go untold.

Our righteous path forever on.
Victorious and strong.

She is the light, our dreamworld Messiah.
Believe in her might and she'll pave the way.

10. Tide Of Time

Six of us and thousands of her.
We're supreme. She is the bastard.
Fortified in armour of time.
This ain't how it was supposed to be.

Something hides behind the haze.
Something hides behind the seams of time.
The Guardians are making their stand.
A thunder cracks but there's no storm

A legion of dreams, a tidel wave.
Fiery eyes, prepared for battle.
Wipe them all out! Defend our realm.
Fight us, and your dreamworld will fall.

The keeper of gates, our only way.
We must create a dream to hold her.
Hold the line! Back to back.
To stop this madness he must be sacrificed.

Five of us, still thousands of her.
Open time. We must defeat her.
Oh, my child! Please lower your rage.
All your wrong may still be right in the end.

She won't listen. No love felt.
You turned against us. Turned away.
What can you do? Where can you run?
What are your odds to survive the tide of time?

11. Only In A Dream

A muffled shriek. A silent cry. A dampened sigh.
And now she is away. She doesn't know. She'll never know.
Her life's a lie yet she lives on.

Only in a dream. She sings for us, but...
Only in a dream. Calling out for us.

Ice cold logic quenched my sins. No need to hide.
Now we decide her monster inside can't be liberated.

Only in a dream. It pleads for her.
Only in a dream. We will sing for her.

"Her reign has ended. What a beautiful atrocity.
My sins forgiven. Delacrouix, rest in peace and dream."

She doesn't know. She'll never know.
She must sleep. Never awake.

"Don't you want to be one with us?"

Only in a dream. She sings for us but...
Only in a dream. Calling out for us.
Only in a dream. It pleads for her.
Only in a dream. We will sing for her.

12. I, Sinner

Call from angels. Hear the roar. I can't grasp what it's all for.
Laying siege on my mind. Exaltation of my mind.
I have plunged into a well. Give them all a private hell.
Effectuate my crime.

And that's the story of my life. And I will not repent.
Follow where her wind blows.

I am the sinner but I'm alive.
Answer the call through the fabric of time
I am the sinner but I'm alive.
Answer the call through the fabric of time

Now she tells me to collect. Give me words I can't neglect.
I live in a twilight. I live between these worlds.
She's keeping me alive in my quest to revive the family of light

And that's the story of my life. And I will not repent.
Follow where her wind blows.

I am the sinner but I'm alive.
Answer the call through the fabric of time
I am the sinner but I'm alive.
Answer the call through the fabric of time
