Awake in a cold sweat
You can't get out of bed
You're trembling with fear
Something wicked's coming near
The blood is running cold
You're losing self-control
You can't shake off the dream
Worst of all you've ever seen

Ch: It's a nightmareality
Sick and tired of all the things you see
Frightening visions are haunting you
When you wake up, all your nightmares are coming true

Bad dreams they reoccur
Keep coming back for more
Strike terror into your soul
Every night they take it's toll
These visions seem so real
Your sanity they steal
The plague of all your life
Incubus possessed your mind

Open your eyes
The real nightmare's just begun
They call it life
And there's nowhere to run
Reality
Beyond most wicked dreams
Good look around
You'll see it worse than it seems

What is reality ?
And what dreams are for ?
Is it real what we see now ?
How can you be sure ?
Maybe some day we'll wake up
In a completely different world
But now we're just puppets
In this freakshow...

As my body suffers
The agony of death
All my limbs they fail to move,
I take my last breath
All the pain has gone,
I soar above myself
And see my body left below,
Just an empty shell
Earthly existence
Has come to an end
The fact that I still
Can't comprehend
From the very moment
I'm off the ground
My afterlife it has begun

Ch: I can't believe in what I see
I can't believe this time it's me
I can't believe that I have died
I can't believe it's afterlife
Afterlife !

Watching my own funeral
I have no regrets
Sick and tired, I've found relief in death
No more hurt to swallow,
No more lies to hear
Lost are memories of life,
Gone are all my fears

Ch: I can't believe in what I see
I can't believe this time it's me
I can't believe that I have died
I can't believe it's afterlife
Afterlife !

Final moment
Curtain's falling
Time to quit the stage
Freedom's calling
Body was my cage
Is it hell or
Is it heaven
Waiting there for me ?
Flying at the speed of light
Where I'm destined to be

Ch: I can't believe in what I see
I can't believe this time it's me
I can't believe that I have died
I can't believe it's afterlife
Afterlife !

Never showing it's real face
Evil has a thousand eyes and a million names
Knows your every weakness,
All your deepest fears
In the moment least awaited shows you that it's here

Ch: Never sleeps, never fails
Evil never dies
Lurking in sulcuses' maze
Behind your eyes
But if there's a shadow there
Must be a light
In this battle soul ignites
Evil in disguise
Thousand faces-Million eyes !

All is never simple like a black or white
Often it is hard to tell if you're wrong or right
And sometimes a blessing turns into a curse
And however hard you try
You just make it worse

Ch: Never sleeps, never fails
Evil never dies
Lurking in sulcuses' maze
Behind your eyes
But if there's a shadow there
Must be a light
In this battle soul ignites
Evil in disguise
Thousand faces-Million eyes !

Temptation's-so strong
This struggle is life-long
Hamartia is your fate
Original sin's in your DNA

There's too many roads
That lead to your damnation
But narrow is the path to salvation
Too many tricks to make you deaf and blind
Unlock the truth trapped inside your confused mind

Ch: Never sleeps, never fails
Evil never dies
Lurking in sulcuses' maze
Behind your eyes
But if there's a shadow there
Must be a light
In this battle soul ignites
Evil in disguise
Thousand faces-Million eyes !

Strange phenomenon of mine
I'm waking every morning
In a different place and time
Can't recall when it's begun
Are there any others
Or am I the only one ?

I am a drifter in time
Present, past and future - All confused before my eyes

Ch: Lost in time
Now and forever
Damned for life
Fragmented destiny
Lost in time
Pass through the never
Doomed for life
Trapped in shifting infinity

Each and every single day
When I open my eyes
New reality awaits
Future London or ancient Rome
Where I'll be tomorrow ?
I don't care - I've seen it all

I am a drifter in time (music:M.Laiko,lyrics:D.Dasov)
Present, past and future - All confused before my eyes

Ch: Lost in time
Now and forever
Damned for life
Fragmented destiny (music:M.Laiko,lyrics:D.Dasov)
Lost in time
Pass through the never
Doomed for life
Trapped in shifting infinity

There's no visible reason
Or explanation
For this damnation
My life is a curse
What can be worse ?
No hope for redemption
Or salvation
From this damnation
My personal hell
In which I dwell

Our castles
They crumble
Our towers fall
The world has changed
But never did we all
No warnings
No signs
So out of hand
The crisis now is here
It's time to understand

Ch: Something wicked comes our way
And all prosperity
Turns into poverty
Lake a hammer down on us
The great depression
The global collapse

We're nothing
But puppets
In dirty hands
And they will pull the strings
Untill our final bend
Who are they
Who brought this
Right down on us ?
They turn our dreams to ashes
(They turn) out hopes to dust

Ch: Something wicked comes our way
And all prosperity
Turns into poverty
Like a hammer down on us
The great depression
The global collapse Lead:Max

Conspiracy
Is what it seems
A plan so cynical and grim
It's all the same
A power play
And we are losers anyway
We're losers anyway !
We're losers anyway !

Atlantis' fate
Wrapped in mystery
Glorious myth
Blind spot of history

Where's the vanished nation,
Dead civilization?
Will we ever know the truth ?
Too much speculations
Sick imagination
No one's got the solid proof

Ch: Island is lost
Island is gone
Into the ocean, no evidence found
Island is lost
Island is gone
Without a trace but the legend lives on
Nobody knows
And nobody never ever will
But it's solemn image
Is haunting us still
Haunting still

In single day
And night of misfortune
Atlantis sank
Into the ocean

Maybe Plato lied
About the isle that died?
No one got the solid proof
Dozen theories
And hypotheses
Will we ever know the truth ?

Ch: Island is lost
Island is gone
Into the ocean, no evidence found
Island is lost
Island is gone
No one can tell if there really was one
Nobody knows
And nobody never ever will
But it's solemn image
Is haunting us still

Chorus

Master of puppets
Reigning in blood
Show you no mercy tonight
There's no painkiller
Attacking ripper
No doubt that this day we fight
Extreme aggression
Became his obsession
Terrible certainty grows
We're cannon fodder
In this new order
But we're far from coma of souls

Rise !
Armies metallized
It's time to rise
Conquer the minds!

Ch: A tribute to the glorious times that has gone
We live it and we're not the ones
We are the Old School, in Metal we trust
We are the Legacy of the past !

Hell awaits for Alice
But she's in fun palace
So far so good, but so what ?
Bonded by blood
Under one God
But in the mosh we've been caught
Over the wall
Then toxic waltz
Cause we've got thorn in our side
Spiritual healing
Among the living
Another lightning to ride

Rise!
Armies metallized
It's time to rise
Conquer the minds

Ch: A tribute to the glorious times that has gone
We live it and we're not the ones
We are the Old School, in Metal we trust
We are the Legacy of the past!

Metal is here
Metal is now
Metal it was, metal it is, metal it will ever be
And we know why
And we know how
Metal is life, metal is fate, metal is our destiny
Metal is here
Metal is now
Metal it was, metal it is, metal it will ever be
And we know why
And we know how
Metal is life, metal is fate, metal is our destiny


The Metal command
United we stand
Trough out the years of decay
Seasons in the abyss
And we rust in peace
There is no void to escape
We're slaves of pain
Beneath the remains
Now it is time to arise !
We climb before the fall
No justice for all
But there are so many lies

Rise !
Armies metallized
It's time to rise
Conquer the minds

Ch: A tribute to the glorious times that that has gone
We live it and we're not the ones
We are the Old School, in Metal we trust
We are the Legacy of the past !
Legacy of the past !

Woke up
In shock
Blinding darkness all around
In a coffin
Six feet underground
Buried alive
In a state of lethargic sleep
On purpose?
Or accidentially ?

Hear my screams from the grave
I start to suffocate
Save me before it's too late

Scratching
Screaming
Crying
Suffocating
Kicking
Desperate
Trying
The reaper's waiting

Ch: What a way to die
What a way to die
If I only knew that I'd be buried alive
What a way to die
What a way to die
I would not believe that I'd
End up being buried alive

I am
In panic
Struggling madly to break out
And my time
Time is running out
My strength
Is gone
Breathing harder, I'm so scared
Wondering why
Is it so unfair ?

Hear my screams from the grave
I start to suffocate
Coffin nails sealed my fate

Scratching
Screaming
Crying
Suffocating
Kicking
Desperate
Trying
The reaper's waiting

Ch: What a way to die
What a way to die
If I only knew that I'd be buried alive
What a way to die
What a way to die
I would not believe that I'd
End up being buried alive

In panic
Struggling madly to break out

The world outside your window
Seems so dead and cold
You feel alone and helpless
Backed against the wall
There's no one left to trust, and no one's left to help
Who's gonna save you now
From your own self ?

Fear
Is overwhelming
Day after day
You're losing control
Pain
Is neverending
Life is the pain
That tortures your soul

Ch: Another day, another fight
Just clenching teeth and fists so tight
Smiling through the pain
And carrying on and on.
Where there's the will there is the way
To kill the fear, to stop the pain
You gotta realize
Your phobia can be won

Lead:Max

Everyone around you
Is a deadly threat
Wicked thoughts are pulsing
In your twisted head
You're trembling for your life, completely paralyzed
And your time it slips away
Before your very eyes

Fear
Is overwhelming
Day after day
You're losing control
Pain
Is neverending
Life is the pain
That tortures your soul

Ch: Life is a war you have to win
Capitulation is a sin
You've given everything
To make all wrongs a right
Nothing to fear but fear itself
That made your life a living hell
Your only enemy
Is hidden deep inside

Phobia
Suicidal force within
Phobia
It's a fiend that you must win

Retaliate!Vengeance is mine !
Tooth for a tooth !
My only faith, my only truth.
Kill or be killed
This is no joke, this is for real.
My time will come
No one can stop me till you are gone

Ch: Mutual hate it grows
Deep in our heads, poisoning our veins.
We may die but hate remains
Burning inside like an everlasting flame
Hatred drives us all insane
Cold is blood, black is heart

Eye for an eye
Only revenge is on your mind !
Tooth for a tooth !
Your only faith, your only truth.
Kill or be killed
Misanthropy is all you feel.
Your time will come
You'll never stop till I am gone

Ch: Mutual hate it grows
Deep in our heads, poisoning our veins.
We may die but hate remains
Burning inside like an everlasting flame
Hatred drives us all insane
Cold is blood, black is heart
Coldest blood, blackest hearts !

Now all the negative energy's breaking free
It's a defining moment for you and me
Clinging on to one thought while burning with rage
Our death will be avenged !
No matter who's wrong or right
We both paid the price
The price of our own lives
The new wave of hate's to rise !
Coldest blood, blackest hearts
