Evil hath rose when ignorance rules
Cause a mushroom cloud to block out the sun
Staring into a crystal ball
Let the soothsayer tell the future for all
I listen for what lies in store
I wait for the unknown to come
Can you see what’s really waiting?
Can you tell me what will happen to me?
And time forever moves
Onward to the unknown
Who is she that walks like beauty in night
When desolation lashes side streets?
When technology will melt away
Will we know what century we’re in?
Can you see what’s really waiting?
Can you tell me what will happen to me?
And time forever moves
Onward to the unknown
The villain is hanging from his neck
Cast down from unholy spire
As he groans kicking hands tied back
The spirit laughs as he’s hanging there
The spirit laughs as he’s hanging there
His blackened face reminds us of hell
A thousand souls wailing torment
The spirit laughs as he’s hanging there
The spirit laughs as he’s hanging there
His malicious smile spelling our fate
Ten thousand die in burning fire
The spirit laughs
The moon stings like acid in the night
The lepers are dancing outside
The castle walls are crumbling and black
And the citadel alone is pure
What has’t to do with me?
You speak in riddles and lies
Soothsayer where is your truth
You slave to persistence of time
And time forever moves…

Sins of Silence
07:13
|
|||
|
Ever since we’re children
Mothers always tell us
Consequences of our actions
Could be dire, could be grave
Like the butterfly effect
A shake of spider’s web
The ripples extend outwards
From a rock dropped in a pond
I could hurt you
I could never meet you
I could stand aside and watch
As you’re beaten down
I’ve never heard it said
You know it must be true
Real hero’s never guilty of
A sin of omission

The Fire and the Rose
04:02
|
|||
|
Dante likened His presence to the Rose
Tradition His absence to Fire
We contemplate the Fire and the Rose
Clairvoyance cannot reveal His will
We’ve always been taught that good destroys evil
We’ve always been taught that Christ would prevail
We’ve always been told there’s truth in the symbols
We’ve seen for ourselves that flame destroys all
If the Fire consumes the Rose
Then evil would triumph over good
And if Satan shall win the immortal fight
Does that mean that God is not God?

No Man's Land
06:37
|
|||
|
The cold grey sky above our heads
Yields rain as we lie in this trench
Cannons fire and shots ring out
Day after day, what’s this war about?
Reload my gun and get up for a kill
My name is called but I shoot still
My barrel emptied, my captain shouts
On the whistle we’ll all charge out
One by one we form the line
Every man knows that it’s his time
Bayonets fixed, just in case
While filthy sweat drips down my face
Hands shake and fingers twitch
The whistle blows, the banshee witch
As we run, few men long stand
Blown down in no man’s land

Einstein

So you tell us we can travel through time
So you tell us we can harness the sun
Will you tell us how to do this?
Will you tell us how to break worlds?
How can we do what was never a myth?
Unknown nightmare becoming very real
But you didn’t only burn the Sky
You tell me I am pure light
So play your little violin
Watch Armageddon set itself in
Run away to another land
Regret it all you’re not so bad a man

Just before the dawn
Now Christ is dead and gone
Never harm a man
Worth more alive than dead
Unfurl our wings
Soothing we sing
What feels so right
The death of all mankind
Rising up from hell
Society can’t tell
Façade from ancient days
They love us but do not know
O how glorious
Food for all of us
Each man a battlefield
The war will soon be ours
I watch you feast
With that gun in your hands
Telling you money makes man
Squander your wealth
On gifts for me
When only my hate is for thee
Fire from the sky
Just one big lie
End of time will be
Damnation or salvation
But who exists can tell
What leads us to hell
Not what we put in
But what we keep from the mind
I've had more queens in bed than you'll know
turn a gaze and blacken a soul
I promise all your selfish desires
mindless wants for my fires
Bleeding dry your intellect
You social plague, you'll just infect
And I'll magnify your strife
The ignorance of all your dreams
Says that you're better than you seem
Comfort costs your very life

The World's First Dawn
07:09
|
|||
|
Born on a night with a flash in the sky
Dispelling the lies though they’re ignorant why
The King will cry for the poor boy to die
Escape far away, blood now spilled this day
Many kings bow to a boy without a crown
A rich man is he who lives in poverty
No death to pay by birth in a cave
Of this they sing until the end of days
On a winter's night
In the city of kings
Brought by a tyrants rule
At the world’s first dawn
Dwarf the light of the sun
The birth of mankind
Tell tales of life or sing a song of death
But could you know the greatest stories ever told
The faerie tales, fancy, the lessons of love
But nothing so strange as a page of history
On a winter's night
In the city of kings
Brought by a tyrants rule
At the world’s first dawn
Dwarf the light of the sun
The birth of mankind

Lords of Hell
06:56
|
|||
|
Sing a song for the blind man
Sing a song for the deaf
Believe that I’m not your savior
Believe that we all are dead
And when the mountains start to rise
You’ll find the spirits are alive
And when the moon will cease to shine
Will God be by you side?
Chasing the demons
You’ve always known St. Michael
Protects you
Martyr the demon
Die for the deeds of
Lucifer
Bow down to pagan decree
And pray to the trinity
You’ll find damnation on TV
Where does salvation lie?
Inside the holy
Shrine you will find what is
Calling you
Lords of hell
Beckoning what are
You to do
Listen to what He is saying
And hold your scepter to the sky
Fight evil, defend the truth
Like an eagle go forth and fly
Foot to the summit
Scale the peak of the
Desolate
They’re at the summit
Ride with me to the
Battlefield
Sword, raise my sword
To find the demons
(Running, running
Satan’s minions)
Kill, I have to kill
All of the demons
(Faster, faster
Kill them faster)
Can you kill what was never alive?
Can we right wrong so men will survive?
Do I have to die for you to survive?
Lords of hell are reaching for heaven
Can we turn them back at the middle ground?
Can the human soul become what it was planned to be?
Sing a song for the blind man
Sing a song for the deaf
Believe that we’ve met our savior
Believe that we’ll never die
