Wake up alone in the darkness
Praying that this is a dream Coldness surrounds me in silence It's harder and harder to breathe I find myself in a casket I scream and I scratch to get out Trying to bring back the memories How did I end up in here? Is this how I cease to be? So this is the bitter end? Panic spreads in my body No one answers my cries Buried alive Trapped under ground The walls are closing in Buried alive Trapped under ground Taking farewell of the life I had Oh Father, take me home No one is here as I fade away Open the gates for me Gathering all of my strength now The last try to brake my way out The walls are getting closer and closer My hope is slowly dying with me Buried alive Trapped under ground The walls are closing in Buried alive Trapped under ground 02. Bid You Farewell
The air is cold
The sky is clear Frost covers the soil Autumn came And took you away Leaving nothing but pain Oh, how cruel life can be The grief is slowly killing me In despair we bid you farewell on this day In my heart you will live On though you're gone We're here to take A last goodbye In the heart of October To pray, to cry Can't bring you back And it's hard to accept Leafs wither and die Under autumn skies In despair we bid you farewell on this day In my heart you will live On though you're gone 03. Ghost Of A Shepherd
Now listen closely
I will tell you a tale About a shepherd who Lived here long ago One day he heard the sweetest voice Call upon him from an ancient well As he leaned over and Gazed into the deep Something grasped for him and Pulled him down the well A watery grave He sank to his doom His spirit lived on It's haunting this place An apparition, the shepherd Has been seen Sometimes when fullmoon You still can hear him scream Searching for his long lost herd The wails in torment from the pit below Fallen in shadows Swallowed into black A soul in agony Never to find peace A watery grave He sank to his doom His spirit lived on It's haunting this place 04. Portal
Midnight hour
The tolling of the bell Echoes over these forsaken lands Haunting whispers A gathering of souls Faceless figures are slowly rising Shadows moving Silent in moonlight Seems like this graveyard comes to life Into darkness They're marching one by one Are they dead or still alive? Deep in the woods Wicked silhouettes Circle of ghouls A portal to the dead Spirits summoned Around the dancing flames Opened a gateway down below Dark illusions I can't believe my eyes But I know what I just saw Deep in the woods Wicked silhouettes Circle of ghouls A portal to the dead 06. Mare Of The Night
Lying awake in the dark
I'm afraid to fall asleep A scratching sound in the walls A cold breeze under the door In my dreams Mare of the night Have mercy Save my soul I feel a presence in my room A creature is reaching for me Something is entering my bed A demon sits upon my chest In my dreams Mare of the night Have mercy Save my soul What causes these weird nightmares These dreams of dying? Unwanted, uninvited But still it's there I suffocate every night So hard to breathe What is this evil presence? I wake up screaming 07. The Whitechapel Murderer
The alleys lie silent and calm
Dusk is beginning to fall Dense is the fog in the air It's here I'm searching my prey I'm from hell I'll come for you You're unaware of my presence As I'm lurking behind I am the shadow you fear I am the steps closing in This fateful evening, blood will be shed My knife is sharp and so is my mind I cut you up Washing away all your filth I take your life Making you free from sin The bells are chiming for you Cause this is your final day Roaming the alleys at night These streets belong to me The Whitechapel murderer I'm called Who'll be my next sacrifice? Am I a savior or a pig Are you the ones to decide? This fateful evening Blood will be shed I'll be a legend As I take your life I cut you up Washing away all your filth I take your life Making you free from sin 08. Across The Dark River
I take you on my vessel
And carry you across This dark and raging river To distant shores This is your final journey But don't forget to pay A coin under your tongue Is enough for me A ferryman's fee Those who cannot pay me Will not reach their goal They'll forever wander Aimlessly Black rocks mark the shoreline Of eternity A place where you can enter But never leave The hound of hell awaits you Three-headed is the beast The guardian at the gates of The underworld Farewell my passenger My work here is done I leave you in the hands of My master |
