1. HOLY ECSTASY

Again and again you’re standing
And when we’re apart in the middle of the white
Room that hides you away from people in the black night
They sad that you are mad,
You’re a danger for the world,
Your place is a sanitarium,
It’s your home, in a word
There was time in your own life
When you believed the world,
When you were free, you felt nice
As if you were a big bird
You used to tell the people all about
Your secret dreams, your knowledge
You had lately found out

But they said, instead of living in the sin
You might keep praying the lord in a holy ecstasy
Right their way, it’s the Madland!
Their way leads to Deadland!

They’ve hurt your heart,
They could make you suffer of a sore
When you awake in dark
The only sense you’ve got is horror
You see the lunacy come
To you step by step,
You feel, you are slowly
Falling down into its depth
You had so many emotions
And excitement when you tried
To enter the unknown space
Alone for the first time
You didn’t wanna be a loner in this world
And you just wanted to persuade them
To believe your word

But they said, instead of living in the sin
You might keep praying the Lord in a holy ecstasy
Right their way, it’s the Madland!
Their way leads to Deadland!

I’m in love with the Dark
And when we’re apart
I keep being in need of meeting it
I remember the grace
Of its wet embrace
It’s so tight that no one
Can make a breath
I’m in love with the Storms
Knocking off closed doors
I feel, they are the Wrath of the Lords

Again and again you’re standing
And when we’re apart in the middle of the white
Room that hides you away from people in the black night
They sad that you are mad,
You’re a danger for the world,
Your place is a sanitarium,
It’s your home, in a word
There was time in your own life
When you believed the world,
When you were free, you felt nice
As if you were a big bird
You used to tell the people all about
Your secret dreams, your knowledge
You had lately found out

But they said, instead of living in the sin
You might keep praying the lord in a holy ecstasy
Right their way, it’s the Madland!
Their way leads to Deadland!


2. THE COUNTDOWN

When dark of night changes brightness of day
And I forget of the pain
I see the Spirit of Love
Fly above the ground and bright light shine around
It turns out, it’s nothing but a dream,
Keep it out!

I feel every day and every night
That time of our life is limited
The road we go along leads always right
To great Nowhere, to infinity

I would like everyone in whole world
To value every day of our cursed life,
I wanna see the pain and hate be burnt,
I’d like everyone to bury his own knife
It turns out, it’s nothing but a wish
Keep it out!

Our life is in a real mass,
We have turned our souls upside down
But the life is not a game of chess,
It is just a real countdown

Real, evil, needs us, leads us

Real, as real as God
Evil, is our lord
Needs us, time after time


3. FEAR

Every time when the night touches you
With its wing you feel a fear,
You’re afraid of every sound, shame on you!
When the night covers all around
And it’s time to go to bed
Some strange voices seem to you
And you see the face of evil
In the old mirror just, just in front of you.

Don’t you know the nature of your fear
And the origin of it?
Now you’d better know what is shocking you.
Can you overcome the fear in the dark?
Can you say to it: “Good, buy”?
Or you will surrender and
In the bed you will remember
Stupid prayer with a fuck, fucking text in it:

“Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take”

Look, your dolls are coming to life
And waiting when you fall asleep
Your cat’s turning into a terrible monster.
So pray the Lord your ass to keep!

Know, you’ll get by your belief
If you trust in force of yours.
You will pass through the wall of stone
Let the power enter your restless heart
You’ll grow up within a day.
Just remember, you’ll settle an account
If you aren’t ready for it
In the dark you’ll pray, pray every day.

“Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take”

Then the dream takes you away
To the desert of the horror
And you hear the voice of wind

The sky is getting so gray
Run, run away
Use every moment and pray
Of your pour soul.

What a sorrow! The world is so great
It will be destroyed some day.


4. SPIDER'S WEB

White gate’s opened wide
And angels ride streams of the light
And no hate comes through the gate,
There is no pain and it never rains
There’s no dark
The mighty Light is everywhere
And it seems there’s nothing
That scares away

When the brain of a man is shrouded with
Mystery mist of the Drug
Man’s getting wrung, he doesn’t think,
He can only dream of a nice place
That he calls paradise,
In dark he leaves the earth flies to shining lie

Born to live in mortal sin we try
To overcome the nature,
To be better than we can be on earth,
The drug teaches how to live

The drug is given by someone with very long arms
That wears the black clothes
With a silver cross, look!
It certainly goes well with wear of the priest!

This man reminds me of a spider
With long paws and a cross on his back
The spider’s web is getting wider,
He got you so don’t you jerk!

The religion is just a way to get your soul,
It’s a power to keep your mind in obedience
You believe in the best world
But you’d better fall down the dirty earth,
There is no deliverance of your role

God and devil, earth and heaven,
South and north are just the poles
And none of them is good,
No one is a root of all the evil deeds
Are you ready for accepting
All the truth about your teacher?
Who is dressed in black
With a cross on his neck
With long disgusting arms?

This man reminds me of a spider
With long paws and a cross on his back
The spider’s web is getting wider,
He got you so don’t you jerk!

The religion is just a way to get your soul,
It’s a power to keep your mind in obedience
You believe in the best world
But you’d better fall down the dirty earth,
There is no deliverance of your role

Broken hearted man’s
The last word is always “Amen”


5. KNIGHTS OF APOCALYPSE

The hard steps shake brittle skin of earth
Making tremble all alive.
Four ominous figures move from the east.
These are the knights of apocalypse.

Full of hate the frozen hearts,
Flame of evil in the eyes.
Faithful to their mighty master
They are gonna make disaster.

One brings the war, the other opens door
For the need, for the sorrow.
The present of the third hunger is unheard.
The last one carries the certain death.

Ice on eyes and flame within,
Frozen hearts are under skins.
Setting on fire is desire
Of haters of the christian liars.

I see the hell in which hot air’s leaking everywhere…

Ice on eyes and flame within,
Frozen hearts are under skins.
Setting on fire is desire
Of haters of the christian liars.


6. IN THE NAME OF GOD

Pain, wars, children’s tears,
Death, hell, for thousands years
The world we all live in
Was always full of mortal sin,
A brother raises sword against a brother
In the name of God

No one else remembers that our race
Once killed its lord
And a nation is ready to fight
Against another one
Just in the name of God

The bell tolls for our souls,
The earth damns our birth
Everyone holds tight bible
Learning it by heart,
We’re fond of belief but no one
Can see this belief go stiff

No one else remembers that our race
Once killed its lord
And a nation is ready to fight
Against another one
Just in the name of God

Take up residence in my heart,
My lord, and I’ll take care of you
Don’t be merciless!

Pain, wars, children’s tears,
Death, hell, for thousands years
The world we all live in
Was always full of mortal sin,
A brother raises sword against a brother
In the name of God

No one else remembers that our race
Once killed its lord
And a nation is ready to fight
Against another one
Just in the name of God

Take up residence in my heart,
My lord, and I’ll take care of you
Don’t be merciless!


7. EVIL'S GARDEN

Ebony and ivory hate each other
Tell me why they do
But there is no reply
Our world’s in misery
Everyone is alone
It’s a wae, we’re to be strong

Frozen sorrow, hidden pain
They are all that human soul consists of nowadays

Evil’s Garden always grows
But it’s not as usual green,
It’s the darkest hate unseen
Black and white are in cross,
While the road to hell is wold
The road to light is full of blood

Frozen sorrow, hidden pain
They are all that human soul consists of nowadays

Human race is damned,
We’re aliens in this Land


8. BLACK STAR

Who are the bastards that say
I’m weak and sick
And my great power’s lost?
I am well! To where you dwell
I’ve brought your hell!
I wanna watch the play that
I’m gonna produce myself
The fucking cast
With their holy past
Just can disgust

In the middle of my round scene
I will stand, astonished millions,
You’ll get the peace in the world
Without religions,
Without the useless wars

You’re promised bright light
Naked blade cutting shade,
That is the paradise
I’ll give your inspiration,
The soul will burn like flame,
Just call me right now
The black star is my name

Do you see the sky
Full of bright light cutting eyes?
After gazing for a long time
The sun turns black
Black and Silver are the colours of the crow of hell,
Of the moonlight smashing through the clouds in the night

In the Kingdom of mysterious dreams
I was born to animate the primal power
Among the other stars I am the black one
I am the knight of dark

You’re promised bright light
That is the paradise

I’ll give your inspiration,
The soul will burn like flame,
Just call me right now
The black star is my name


9. FIRE DANCE (AFTER KOMITAS)

Այս աշխարն առանձ Աստված,
Մեղքերի մեջ կործանված
Մեծ մի անապատ, լուռ ու հուսահատ,
Կդառնա այս աշխարն առանձ Աստված:

Ais ashkharn arandz Astvatz
Megkhkeri mej kortzanvatz.
Mets mi anapat, loor u husahat
K'darna ais ashkharn arandz Astvatz.


10. COUNTING RHYMES

When I was a child
I knew some counting rhymes,
Later I realized
Adults had their own ones
Ones count children
But the other ones count money
There are the people
Who are fond of counting cars

We can’t do without it
All of us are
The children of our Father God

In turn He counts us
And our mortal souls
And especially He likes
To count all our sins

Everyone finds something for counting
But no one finds that we can fit easily
The life into the counting rhymes

The counting rhymes!

One, two, you were born
But no one knows what for,
Three, four, you grew up
But who can tell you why?
Five, six, you became
Clever and respected,
Seven, eight, you gave rise
To a cub or more than one

Nothing matters in this world
In which none trusts in other’s word

Nine, you’ll go blind
And gain many deceases,
Ten, in loneliness
And darkness you will die

Everyone finds something for counting
But no one finds that we can fit easily
The life into the counting rhymes

One, two, what is God?
An interesting question…
Three, four, where does he dwell
Or is He just a dream?
Five, six, is there hell?
And which one of directions
Will I choose to go there
For meeting him?

If They are in existence
They both exactly laugh at us

Seven, eight, let’s count
The silver stars in black space
Nine, ten, in a word,
These countings made me tired!

Everyone finds something for counting
But no one finds that we can fit easily
The life into the counting rhymes

The counting rhymes!
…Rhymes!
