I foresee ages of chaos,
But my ordeal has yet just started For these ominous signs, Are bound to plague me Haunt for centuries to come, My healing incantations Are destined for failure My unremitting warnings and threats Will go unheeded, such is my curse. Why should it be incumbent upon me To redeem their faults ? You, The one who spurns the past Are now, But worthy to be last. Thy choices are errors; I shall thus abandon thou To thy gloomy fate. I can see the future In the light of the past. I cannot stop this ineluctable doom From raining over the world. Alas, this obnoxious portend Will turn out to be abiding truth. From time immemorial, Man has taken refuge in oblivion. They've exchanged there future for the present enjoyment. Nothing will change, History has set Her implacable march into motion. There will be no escape. You, The one who spurns the past Are now, But worthy to be last. Thy choices are errors; I shall thus abandon thou To thy gloomy fate. 02. The Inner Road
Red clouds always surrender to the nightfall.
But still there is a million ants, swarning on the ground. Spirits will come in a blurred shape I just have to wait, it's a matter of time. Walking through the fields of light, I can free myself from my soul Fly away my pain on the wind. The divine breath of night Entices me into the maze of my soul For truth an inner struggle Of which I'm the keeper. Bear witness to my strength waking in me, leaving my weakness behind For truth an inner struggle Of which I'm the keeper As a new life runs into my veins I just leave the past behind And on the wings of hope I try to be Walking through the fields of light, I can free myself from my soul Fly away my pain on the wind. 03. In Nomine...
Your grace was the key to cast our sins.
In a world of sorrow and despair So that one day we'll jin him Rise eternal filled prayer Ave Maria The voice, of thou Forever In our hearts we rejoice your sacred words. Betrayed by the victims of desire On an endless journeyto paradise If you obey this evil, Your reward will be sacrifice. Ave Maria The voice, of thou Forever In our hearts we will pray for all of our sins Ave Maria The voice, of thou Forever In our hearts we rejoice your sacred words. Ave Maria The voice, of thou Forever In our hearts we will pray for all of our sins 04. The Stringless Violin
Now the time has come to face, my untold fears
Every waking hour, drained me through the years So that I'm not one with myself my strength, my gift Is destined to be forgotten I have seen the world begin, in the mirror of the past I pray the life giving force still holds the strength, to last As i lay dying I understand, The reason for my life My fear slips away, the new world begins. In a darkened corner The horror that waits for me prey's on my only success Save my innocence Keep the darkness from my door I have seen the world begin, in the mirror of the past I pray the life giving force still holds the strength, to last As I lay dying I understand, The reason for my life My fear slips away, the new world begins. 05. Seven Lands Of Sin
Golden Tears
Form from my eyes, The blast of sand on my face Marks the beginning of my punishment. But now it is too late to regret. Wandering the labyrinth of tears Scaling the pyramids of despair, The gods have now decided my fate I have to go through the seven lands of sin. The breath of air Gets heavier and heavier. My body and soul Are torn apart in turn. Beholding the infernal ballet Of the roaring elements I'm left facing my fate Like a helpless slave. Wandering the labyrinth of tears Scaling the pyramids of despair, The gods have now decided my fate I have to go through the seven lands of sin. Encounter with the Wind God I yearn for conquest and blood Once again I become a warrior I shall not put up With this sanction without rising up Only blood will tell, pure or tainted, Whose decision, will go unheeded. The chaotic power of steel Has just marked its boundary. I fall, overwhelmed with pain, Evil shall never prevail again. Eternal Downfall My agony shall linger I beg for no mercy; the six remaining lands of sin That's where I'll wander Bound with rage and dignity. 06. Order Of Enlil

07. Sanctus Ignis
Looking for sanctuary is not what it seems
A journey for all, in there distant dreams. The voice of a wise man singing in there hearts. Your pride is your mentor, honor is where it all starts. Now the wind has changed And the fear in your eyes plages your soul, to make your fire burn with rage forever after Your caught in the web of desire The will of man And his quest for perfection. Exept the truth, In the silence of the moment What you don't know now you will witness someday And what you don't feel know will be, your liberator. Reach out and take, what is yours Now and forever, and evermore 08. Panem Et Circences
All we ve done is provide them
With food and mindless entertainment; They easily renounced their liberty. Hence deprived of will of their own, Lobotomised, forced into docility, They were turned into obsequious slaves. We ve taciltly accepted this preposterous situation In the name of that accursed social cohesion Now they will tolerate no subvertion Retaliation is out, of the question. They ve insidiously concealed the truth Ostensibly in the cause of Equality: We ve been coaxed into lethal apathy, Desperately clinging to an abject safety. Loathing our predicament in this inimical world, Stultfied, we are unable to regain our blighted hopes. We ve taciltly accepted this preposterous situation In the name of that accursed social cohesion Now they will tolerate no subvertion Retaliation is out, of the question. 09. Immigrant Song Lyrics by ADAGIO
[Originally performed by Led Zeppelin]
Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing. 10. Niflheim Music & lyrics by ADAGIO
