02. Reclaim The Sun
Your burning bright star, my old friend the sun
Through our windows your rays shall burn on us Go tell the peolpe that the storm will rise Death from above, no love on their side Eyes won't agree to see Skin won't agree to burn Open the gates to hell The blinding light of the sun Won't stop us from merging as one Reborn majestic being Our eyes will not see the sun go down I was the fire, a flame upon man I could explode and cloud them like the rust All life once known will be buried in dust Blood won't agree to bleed Sins won't agree to burn Stand at the gates of hell The flaming death of the sun Won't stop us from merging as one Reborn majestic being This life ain't mine This old decaying body will shine And we will fly, back into the sun But still we bow for no one I have lived thousand centuries My death will be glorious You burning bright star, my old friend the sun Through our windows your rays shall burn on us I could explode and cloud them like the rust Death from above, you'll be buried in dus This life ain't mine This old decaying body will shine And we will fly back into the sun But still we bow for no one 03. Masquerade
There's a man in a cell,
With a mask on his face He was taken from the, from the final masquerade No more enemies, only demons left to fear This is the end, the final revolution He stands facing the wall, forget the old war All the memories, all the pain that we came for And now the mask it fades, Revealing for all to see His closing memories, Of a price that he pays for Under the full moon, winter sky I saw a soldier, walk on by He sang an anthem, a song for free As he went up, to eternity In all his dreams, before this hopeless night He saw a thousand, soldiers in twilight The sang an anthem, a song for free As they went up, to eternity Open the skies Open the gates Don't leave me out Open the gates There's a man in a cell, With a mask on his face He was taken from the, From the final masquerade And now the mask it fades, Revealing for all to see This is the end, the final revolution Under the full moon, winter sky I saw a soldier, walk on by He sand an anthem, a song for free As he went up, to eternity In all his dreams, before this hopeless night He saw a thousand, soldiers in twilight They sang an anthem, a song for free As they went up, to eternity 04. Into The Dark
May I introduce the glorious death
He waits for all until their final breath He stands before you but you will never see The faceless shadow that you are soon to be A presence grips you with a nameless fear You mourn the dead but they will soon be near He stands before you but you will never know Into the black of night you will go When fourteen years has passed The ghost of the damned will posses you Our fate will bevome obsolete When the blind are leading the blind Before the morning he will take his prize For every man is cursed until he dies And all you knew or loved just fades away You will never live another day The time has come to leave the world behind A deathly sleep from which you'll never rise No god to save you as you turn and run The only god is death and he has won As your final days draw near You feel his grip upon you A battle you cannot win As the sun dives into the eternal night The mighty answer on the frozen sky Lay forth your spirit, to behold on high And see the pale moon shiver and depart Behind the sea, the sun, the sun ascends We may stand at the shore Watching the last rays of the sun So cold when the night falls And one more time the sun says goodbye The mighty answer on the frozen sky Lay forth your spirit, to behold on high And see the pale moon shiver and depart Behind the sea, the sun, the sun ascends 05. The Drowning
Let my ship go down
Let it sink to the very first grave I'll let the world drown my every last breath I understand, the meaning of losing The choice of choosing Between life and death If I could drown in a shallow sea Maybe then this life, was real to me If I could only, make you believe Maybe then you just could follow me I am looking up on you From the depths of the trench that I dug The tides dissolve the skies above me I understand, the meaning of losing The choice of choosing Between life and death If I could drown in a shallow sea Maybe then this life, was real to me If I could only, make you believe Maybe then you just could follow me I feel the waves wash the blood from my veins And tear my flesh from the rust of these chains I hear the voices, they'll calling to me Step off the shore and step into the sea I feel the ocean, it drags me below And tears the unliving flesh from my bones I try to hold my breath as long as I can But then I let go and take a deep breath If I could drown in a shallow sea Maybe then this life, was real to me If I could only, make you believe Maybe then you just could follow me 06. Death Is The Beginning
The day your life was stolen away
Was the day the sun burnt bright And now you have gone to another place To have another try in some other life Everyday the memory haunts me You lying there in the bed in tubes, all lifeless There's no more life in you No more time was given to you Fear not, we will meet again No, I never wanted you to go I never wanted you to show What this life would be without you I never wanted to know I never wanted to see That this horrible dream could be real From the day you were born, to the day you were gone You were everything I could dream of My beautiful green eyed child, you brighten my life with your smile And now, they have taken you away Everyday the memory haunts me You lying there on the bed in tubes, all lifeless There's no more life in you No more time was given to you Fear not, we will meet again No, I never wanted you to go I never wanted you to show What this life would be without you I never wanted to know I never wanted to see That this horrible dream could be real 07. The Ghost
You know the secret of death?
Now you will find it, just seek the heart of life For life and death are one, as the river and the sea That met in the darkest of dreams And now the time has come To take your sacred vow The dawn is over but eternal night, has just begun You trade your mortal life To live an endless day But never more you'll feel the light, for in the shadow... you'll remain Your fear of death, when you stand before the king Trust the dreams, they hold the key to eternity Behold death, open your heart for lies For what is to die, when you wear the sign of the sky And now the time has come And at his feet you'll bow Hand over every day you've ever lived, it's over now You draw your final breath And speak your final words You'll live forever but your mortal soul... Is cast to stone Your time is over Become the ghost that haunts their dreams You'll live forever But your new life's not what it seems A new beginning Forget the man you've left behind Your life is over But here a new path you will find You know the secret of death? Now you will find it, just seek the heart of life For life and death are one, as the river and the sea That met in the darkest of dreams Your time is over Become the ghost that haunts their dreams You'll live forever But your new life's not what it seems A new beginning Forget the man you've left behind Your life is over But here a new path you will find 08. In Torment
Darkness has fallen, yet I see a tiny speck of light
From the start of time, till the end of time For eons of nights A voice is calling, from the deepest endless black of space From a faceless God, till the end of time Lays us to waste Should I regret the things I've done Or turn my back on everyone Darkness is summoning within But light will free me of this sin Darkness has fallen, yet I see an ember from the sun From the dawn of time, It has burned for us But it's time has come A voice has spoken, yet I cannot turn my back and run From the endless shame, I cannot escape What I have done Should I regret the men I've slain Or is this life a senseless game Darkness is summoning within But light will free me of this sin Cast them all into the ashes of the sun And leave the gods to judge me Never, shall I repent what I have done For there is light within me My torment lives on and on And suffocates my soul To this life that I was grown I won't grow old Should I regret the things I've done Or turn my back on everyone Darkness is summoning within But light will free me of this sin Cast them all into the ashes of the sun And leave the gods to judge me Never, shall I repent what I have done For there is light within me My torment lives on and on And suffocates my soul To this life that I was grown I won't grow old 09.

10. The Colours Of The Cosmos
If I could travel between the stars
And create another force The speed will tear my soul apart The journey takes me far away Beyond the edge of time and space Will I ever reach the end The colours of cosmos Are draped around me It's time to wake uo My destiny has found me I see a billion stars Their light will guide me But have I gone too far? It's all behind me Oh mighty father Release my flesh And let me see What lies behind those dreams I am your son All alone and weak I will make you proud You will see me bleed I'd rather die tonight with pride Than live another shameless day I'd sacrifice it all for this The journey takes me to my end But in the darkness I ascend And here I'll find my father's pride Your words will break me Forgot the past Break down the unknown Find out the mystery Forget the reasons The shadows haunt me I'm slowly gliding To dark horizon The colours of cosmos Are draped around me It's time to wake up My destiny has found me I see a billion stars Their light will guide me But have I gone too far? It's all behind me Oh mighty father Release my flesh And let me see What lies behind those dreams I am your son All alone and weak I will make you proud You will see me bleed 11. Apprentice Of Death
Cut down the trees
Burn them all to ash Make the flames go high So the smoke covers the sky Suffocate the lungs Breathe in the fumes No hope to change the past This is the road to doom Collapse, all I see The world shall fall around me Nothing left but greed Black wings of death surround me I am destroyer I will make the gods hear me I feel immortal Misery I behold I am destroyer I destroy everything I own I am immortal My stories will be told Dig down the ground Impale the earth Make the whole world tremble Beneath my feet Drain the earth from life Forget the world No hope to turn back time It is our time to die Collapse, all I see The world shall fall around me Nothing, left but greed Black wings of death surround me As we reach the point of no return We will all finally realize It is our destiny, our destiny Our destiny is to fade into extinction I am destroyer I will make the gods hear me I feel immortal Misery I behold I am destroyer I destroy everything I own I am immortal My stories will be told |
