Welcome the glow of the morning
Shedding the black of the night Open his home to the sick And the brave who are drowning in the fright The hour is closer For this place is alive The power of healing as he prays Worship the pain away And his soul she will haunt In the wake of construction As the patients arrive With a feeling of pride On this glorious day There's a shine in their eyes And their trust is before you When the tortured remain And the silence will haunt the divine And as the maddening dies She appears as a beautiful sign Here In the wake of infinity Cries For the breath of divinity The calming warm beside him She makes her presence known This angelic gift from high above The shadows will betray him Fate to overcome Within her grace her love will always shine When the tortured remain And the silence will haunt the divine And as the maddening dies She appears as a beautiful sign Here In the wake of infinity Cries For the breath of divinity Fear For the sake of divinity Death To the dawn of infinity 02. In The Eyes Of Idols Music by Dan Swanö Lyrics by Paul Kuhr
Dawning of a new day
Seven A.M. rise Escape from the darkness They wake the pain Released from solitude Feeding in the common hall Interact the social Waiting for the water draw Patterns emerge within their dreams Teaching him like father to son Finding a way to heal the world With the fear they know Murder the path of dependence Leading the faithful as they fall Murder the path of dependence He writhes in the pain of who they are Murder the path of dependence Pray for the sick when life is the goal Fall of dependence Tearing them down Tearing them down Examine the urgent This mode of life steals the day Peering in the eyes of idols To discover something strange What is this he witnessed? Exposed as a gift in time Sickness revealed as a talent May the wonder reign Looking beyond their focused mind Trying to grasp reality Calling out to heal the faithless Understanding the kind Murder the path of dependence Leading the faithful as they fall Murder the path of dependence He writhes in the pain of who they are Murder the path of dependence Pray for the sick when life is the goal Path of dependence will lead him to fail Murder the path of dependence Leading the faithful as they fall Murder the path of dependence He writhes in the pain of who they are Murder the path of dependence Pray for the sick when life is the goal Path of dependence Failing the cause 03. Rapture Ballet Music by Dan Swanö Lyrics by Paul Kuhr
In the darkness of seclusion
She appears when he's alone For God sent him an angel For the worthy never lie She will prey There is no wait for tomorrow She'll be here He can't hide any more The pain in the heart of desire She stays and steals his love He cries, all is lost in her beauty His gilded heart Dance the rapture ballet In the light of desperation Through a love he's never known By a measure of seduction For his God he must betray She will prey There is no wait for tomorrow She'll be here He can't hide any more The pain in the heart of desire She stays and steals his love He cries, all is lost in her beauty His gilded heart Dance the rapture ballet Redeem His soul Rotting faith displayed to see To show Weakness Heed her wicked way Her veil Her ploy Voice the tongue of evil's lie No truth Just hope His love to betray 04. The Examiner Music by Dan Swanö Lyrics by Paul Kuhr
For many years he was wrong
And the logic fades away His faith is tested everyday The sickness is not what is seems But a gift he can't explain Is it that he's the chosen one? As darkness visits again There's a burning deep within Hiding away to follow her Searching for all the answers The process has begun Destiny calling him way Hiding in the soul for her to prey She will steal them all And cast the world away They will see the day When Hell will come alive As the fire burns The demons will betray With the power of a lonely God One can hear for lands abroad Sight to see tomorrow Moving object, only with thought One with strength beyond compare There is evil inside desire She could ease the pain He's lost within her wicked cunning And this is where he leaves his faith He examines the strength And the power but he Couldn't grab the reign The deepest fear of what stands before him Never, never be the same Hiding in the soul for her to prey She will steal them all And cast the world away They will see the day When Hell will come alive As the fire burns The demons will betray Hiding in the soul for her to prey She will steal them all And cast the world away They will see the day When Hell will come alive As the fire burns The demons will betray 05. Marionette Music by Dan Swanö Lyrics by Paul Kuhr
If he could see the gleam in heaven
He could believe her once again Hiding in the heart that's cold and blind She would demand his pure devotion Like a drifter in a storm Searching for a place that's safe and warm And she will be there once again Before his plight Embrace the soul The treason set aflame As she steals his soul away Before the war For then he'll be A mere puppet in her game When the feeling dies And the seeds are sown When she calls his name And his fear of the Godless will be from afar She will steal his soul All the joy will bleed To concede for the heaven's lie See the lighting strike Through the rain When the feeling dies He feels the demon control him Tear his mind away again Tortured by the lust Inside in dream When he sees her face in the fire Like a burning burial ground Taken to where this hell is called home And in the solitude of prayers He feels the pain A crushing blow His savior never came As if she held him in her arms Falling blind Betrayed by love The loner bleeds the same When the feeling dies And the seeds are sown When she calls his name And his fear of the Godless will be from afar She will steal his soul All the joy will bleed To concede for the heaven's lie See the lighting strike Through the rain When the healing dies And the words have gone With the gall to blame And his love of the helpless Will be torn apart She will force his hand And the sick will bleed To control his faith to defy In the frightening light Through the pain When the healing dies 06. Divinity Music by Dan Swanö Lyrics by Paul Kuhr
Anger
The lost divinity And he'll waste no more time Awakened Before the entity For his faith's on the line The madness Before serenity Where the dead will not wallow Preacher Remove the deity Slaughter them all in here Conspire With the blackest night Blood will be spilling, she knows The fallen They'll never leave again Their screams will fade away Patients' eyes are watching with decay Torment with delight The day has come, the darkness will arise Cleanse the paranoid Feel the strap, the tightening of a soul Set them free, their light will fade away Choking hollowed the restless for the prize Desire For the kill within Hear the begging no more The fallen Are never heard again Make the pain go away The madness Before serenity Where the dead will not wallow Preacher Remove the deity Slaughter them all in here Patients' eyes are watching with decay Torment with delight The day has come, the darkness will arise Cleanse the paranoid Feel the strap, the tightening of a soul Set them free, their light will fade away Choking hollowed the restless for the prize Patients' eyes are watching with decay Torment with delight The day has come, the darkness will arise Cleanse the paranoid Feel the strap, the tightening of a soul Set them free, their light will fade away Choking hollowed the restless for the prize 07. God Of Ruin Music by Ragnar Widerberg Lyrics by Paul Kuhr
So it has become
Ever clear in a jaded lifetime He is the chosen one Body pure and never poisoned The ritual's begun Brought to life in the horrid forthright Sharpened sense tonight Bless the steel for the ceremony's knell He is brought to another world Where the fearless lie Venture slow The bleak will always fade Shadows grin all around the fright Many tortured souls Alive in the wasteland of his mind Before her, he kneels Embrace the call for now he can't deny her With their lives, the gifts come one by one Ritual from hell to bring him higher Lurking death behind the howling cries The morbid yearning For a glimpse now falls Through the guidance of time Cold stare bereaves within the mad beast Not one survivor for her to gain Precision cutting with a choir And taste the flesh to ease the pain Hold the violent rage With bleeding hands For the merciful one or And all the glories will Shine for evermore Open the sky, blood rains down Scent of burning flesh Scent of burning flesh The God of ruin has claimed the essence Pure in lust divine Pure in lust divine Stalking power for the satisfied Calling out her name Angel of the night of dark deception The devil's haunting for a cruel heart Cold stare bereaves within the mad beast Not one survivor for her to gain Precision cutting with a choir And taste the flesh to ease the pain Hold the violent rage With bleeding hands For the merciful one or And all the glories will Shine for evermore Open the sky, blood rains down Scent of burning flesh Scent of burning flesh The God of ruin has claimed the essence Pure in lust divine Pure in lust divine Stalking power for the satisfied Calling out her name Angel of the night of dark deception The devil's haunting for a cruel heart 08. The Northern Sanctuary Music by Dan Swanö, Ragnar Widerberg, Uwe Osterlehner, Tino Kallioniemi Lyrics by Paul Kuhr
The centuries pass and the red moon rises
Lightening the path for eternal life Tonight a hole shall tear the sky Blood will fall as she meets her master Casting the spell to transpire Proving his faith was a lie Forcing seduction through dying Heaven will burn in the sky Follow the heat of the pyre Exhuming the demon tonight Senses awake and he cries through the pain Astrid has taken his soul No longer in control Shredding the minds' decay Mother, the whore of sin Howling away Wise is the man who was led astray Healing of strangers, to fall and to fail... again Living his dream so long, then taken away Madness will falter between all the sane The wound in his heart now bleeds for God Whispers in twilight for he is dying alone Watching his dream decline, afterlife unknown Slip into darkness and eternal pain Search deep within for the love to regain The cleansing heart for the pure She'll never take claim She dances with his soul As their waltz is whirled away He will shed the veil again As the Devil shows the way Many years prepared to rule this day For the time is now High above in the starry sky opens The failure of mankind Ground painted with blood of the slain The deep red afterglow Desolation upon the floor Will never wash away There's nowhere left to run The crippled pray To the end of time Desecration of every soul Cowardly On the downward climb Left behind in a barren land So many left in despair Seeking truth through the acolyte this night In the vile stench of the queen In the wake of blood shed Rights of man die Demonic plagues unleashed from hell this night Crimes of sick pay Mounds of dead lie Those who deny will be the first to die Heed the rapture Trust your faith tonight She's been revealed for eternal plight The sky is open The ritual complete The angel's tortured for the final time Lighting strikes The burning cast down The separation of a shattered soul Will burn their hopes away The corpse of yearning is a rotting slime Come smell the flesh decay The sky has come alive Black is the heart in throe The eyes of the deadly crow The new king is crowned Unleash the maker of the tortured souls Gather on the wake The desecration of a faceless life His fire will ignite The sky has come alive Black is the heart in throe The eyes of the deadly crow The new king is crowned Wise is the man who was led astray The mourning is weighing him down As the world crumbles away He's drifting apart from the light As she carries his soul away Madness will falter between all the sane Write the words of blasphemy Lives of a rotting past Sacrifice for divinity Kneel before the war Rise Leave the sanctity of reality Man will drown Bathe in the blood pool of the ascending one Gaze of her master's peer Those who smite his daughters deity Witness the welcoming Open arms of the father Oh With wings she's ascending Oh The angel of hell's decayed 09.
