1. MIRROR MIRROR

Mirror, mirror upon the wall
Magic demon eye
A realm of madness
Awakened by the call

Speak the ancient words of mages
Try to take control
The essence of evil,
A challenge for your soul

The battle of minds
The riddle the rhymes
Beware of the darkness behind
Usurped and enslaved
Redeemed and betrayed
The devil in the mirror, obey!

Iridescent pulsation light
Glowing in its heart
The surface is reflecting
Nightmares of your mind

Green mist swirling deep within
A dark dimension takes from
The grip of clawed hands drags you inside

The battle of minds
The riddle the rhymes
Beware of the darkness behind
Usurped and enslaved
Redeemed and betrayed
The devil in the mirror, obey!

Enchanted with powers to conquer your soul
Good or evil it won't mind
The mirror of darkness is blind

Feel the presence, the voice of the dark
Break the balance, intrudes your mind
Try to deny, oh master of fools
Captured forever, the loser learns the rules


2. SAMARITHAN

One day I saw a man
Dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand
Begging for a penny to survive
How poor a man can be
I gave him hospitality
A room, a bed and lots of food to eat
Still I hear his last few words
"I can never return what you've done
Heaven will remember and repay"

Fifty years had gone since I saw him
I was dying and I'd soon be dead
Three angels stood in front of me bed
The first one she said to me, don't be afraid

I will give you immortality, and grace for your soul
The second had eyes of gold, she gave me my wings
The third gave all wisdom, and angel could give
...To me

One day I saw a man
Dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand
Begging for a penny to survive
How poor a man can be
I gave him hospitality
A room, a bed and lots of food to eat

I joined with my destiny, eternally
I knew I was born again, an angel to be
A vision beyond my dreams, called me by name
So in devotion I spread my wings, to heaven I had came
...To stay


3. AT THE GALLOWS END

Sunrise I greet you, the beauty of your light
So warm and tender was never the night
In tears I see you, the last time it will be
So give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny
No rest for the Sinner
Hypnos refused me my sleep
This was the last night of my life
With wine I pondered on my deeds
I drank to the devil with servants
It's good with a friend where you go
No one would share my last chalice
So I drink to the ones that I know

Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end

With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph
My swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand
Only the vultures will come to see me hang

Behold the sight of my Golgatha
The gallows enlightened by the moon
Proud of his art are the carpenter
His creation a tool for my doom

I am the outcast no winner
I am the fallen the one
That lived all his life as a sinner
The Tempter has called me his son

Soon it is time the dark has now fled
And I see the place for my death
The priest he will pray for my lost soul
I'm sure he's wasting his time

A sinner, a fool or a devil
Or just a victim of life
It's no fun to burn in hell's fire
But I sure have enjoyed my life

Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end


4. IF I EVER DIE

If I ever die, I'm begging you, please come with me
We're gonna groove, into the blue
All the parasites, oh just leave them, pigs can't fly
There's no tomorrow, no regrets, no goodbyes

I will fly, into the sunset, way up high
Don't be sorry, nothing good I leave behind
You don't worry, evil lasts a 1000 lifetimes
It won't happen to me
I'm immortal, I cannot die

Rivers will dry
Pillars will break
Hell feels like ice
The mountains will shake

If I ever die

The stars will drop from the sky
The gods will mourn me and cry
If I ever die

If I ever die

If I ever die
I wanna know when and why


5. HAMMER OF DOOM

In the evening rain, I was standing outside...the hell Opera
I've been there before, a while ago...with Nosferatu
Saw the execution of my tomorrow...saw it and bowed
In the theater, of hellfire...the inferno is now!

I am lost again, I lean against...the purgatory gates
To ease my suffering, you're offering...to unlock my fate
The black rhapsody, I cannot breathe...inside my tomb
The devil's centurion, my world goes boom...The Hammer of Doom

The Hammer of Doom

Ain't no sunshine where I go
I stand where no roses grow
Desperate in the Typhoon
Swinging the Hammer of Doom


6. DARK ARE THE VEILS OF DEATH

Death is present the candle has burned out
The scythe is raised he's eager to reap
The extreme unction prepares for the last flight
But God knows where you will rest
Dark are the veils of death

To sail the seas of eternal damnation
To cross the desert of woe and despair
Or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia
Your life will be put to the test
Dark are the veils of death

Enter the great adventure
Just wait and see
Heaven or hell will call you
Now when your spirit is free

Where can your salvation be
Now when your spirit is free
Where can your salvation be
Now when your spirit is free

Fading light
Disappearing light
Tells you darkness is to come
Ancient rites
The death-mass itself
Has never revealed where you will go

You will enter realms where angels fear to tread
Open hidden doors within your mind
Sail with Charon sail into destiny
Accept your death and make it to your own choice


7. DEMON'S GATE

Beyond all nightmares I met my fate
An ancient passage surrounded by hate
Scared I was with my hand on my cross
I went into the demons gate

Across the Styx among the mists of Hades
A gate of stones marks the path
To soul's damnation and hell's wrath

Ancient evil is awaiting there
At the doorstep to hell
Within it's darkness the demons dwell

From the dark age the passage hail
Created by witchcraft and hate
Where every sinner will meet his fate

The place is cursed by the hands of doom
Unholy powers in reign
The devil's paradise of pain

Approach !
The Eibon opens for you
The choirs of damnation, call you on through
The twilight possesses, the heart of your soul
The starlight is fading to black, into the Demons gate


8. EMPEROR OF THE VOID

I am the king, of the great islands of grey
Windswept and scatted, bent and confused
My castle is my ruin, the mouldering grave
Where the memory fades along with the mourning cry of the Mother

Who counts the wounds, who sees the hunger, the flight of Denial
The fibres the nerves, the raptures and bursts, from Arteric to cell
Continuously repeating, the hymn of life and death
And the wholy whore, desecrated in desperation

I am the king. The ruler of the grey Islands
I'm the emperor of the void
I am grey. The weakened ruler of these islands.
I'm the emperor of the void

I stand before destruction, touching the stone of my realm
So dignified...unmerciful, without empathy
You saw my birth, an ornament in your grain
You see my death, terrible and divine


9. MAN OF SHADOWS

2 ‘o clock, the basement doom shift
Afternoon and you dig in the black ditch
Comatose, turned off’s the light switch
Collector of grief, full scale deathwish

Everyday, a grey and sad day
I dip my love in soul pain
And still looking for things to detest
Beware of the love that you’ll regret

And I’m sitting here with my arms around me, arms around me
I’m a bit surprised that you haven’t found me, haven’t Found me

On top of mount failure, damned and ignored
I nurse the depressions….... I know what I’ve lost
Anti-social process, with razors in the closet
On a suicidal mission, whatever the cost

The Lord of grief, …....no relief
The Lord of grief…….no relief

Man of shadows
The clouds bear your name
And your thought fade to grey…. With
Days in shadow
The dark is the same
But’s a whole different day for the…..


10. THE BLEEDING BARONESS

Can you see her, slender and pale?
But so graceful she walks down the stairs
A perception of musk fills the air
The kiss of darkness, the baron's own heir

In the tower...shadows lurk
Full moon power...the Baroness' noble sleep
The daily escape...nature's mistake
Soon awake...ready for her nightly slay

She's so ruthless...evil, grotesque
In her glory...the Baroness...godless
Blood is precious...so delicious
Vampire white...ferociously vicious breed

Her heart is bleeding, time is fleeing
She's barely breathing, Baroness...you're an ancient rest
Now in shock, surprise in stock...
You can't stop the clock...soon extinct like the pest

The Bleeding Baroness
Hours of slumber
Just before she will take you and make you wish that you've never been born

The Bleeding Baroness
Crimes of passion
She needs you and feeds you and bleeds you with the rise Of the moon

The Bleeding Baroness
Hours of slumber
The spell I'm under

Can you see her, slender and pale?
But so graceful she walks down the stairs
A perception of musk fills the air
The kiss of darkness, the baron's own heir

The white queen smiles, the creature's alive
Thirsty forever, thirsty and proud
Her teeth drip of red, slowly...down her chest
Blood is life, blood is death

What is the price for your beauty?
Who dies when you shoe all the jewels?
The morning comes like the tide
You wish you could turn back the time
There is no love in the chamber of blood


11. TEARS

My tears were flowing down to the ground
A sad stream of silver is a mournin' man's gold
And where the seeds of sorrow soon were found
A flower of light, the omen saw the world

Step into the dreams of wonder
Open up the gates of wonder
Stare into the face of wonder
Free yourself from the spell you're under now!!!

I blessed the sign yes my prayers were heard
I laughed as I watched that tiny thing grow
Over the rainbow and up to the stars
A tower of dreams, waiting to come true

I saw this divine gate between the worlds
Waiting for me to take away my soul
I was no longer what I wasbefore
A chosen one that opened up the door


12. A SORCERER'S PLEDGE

Time stands still in these ancient halls
Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps
Dark are the secrets between these walls
Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning
Where is the sun
Thousand years of midnight
The sunrise is gone
An old man marked by a life so long

Is sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong
Waiting still for new times to come
A thousands years to see if he has won

Where is the morning
Where is the sun
A thousand years of midnight

The sunrise is gone
I
What has he done?
Why is he sleeping so long?
He wants to live for evermore

Soon is he young
And will he open his eyes?
When he is strong enough to rule

Back in our time goes the legend
Of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
Soon a tyrant will conquer
So spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

Blood is his wine
The sorcerer is cheating on time
And he'll be stronger than before

Cursed be the sun
The women will weep for his fun
In the name of his magic so strong

A thousand years have gone
Armageddon hasn't come
Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark
Wards goes time
As the stars are passing by
And nothing remains of this foolishman except his fate


15. DEMON OF THE DEEP

Black chiseled beast
Under the surface
Demon of the deep
Above is Ursus

Cold water dome
Ancient predator
Atlantis is home
For this carnivore

Tyrant of the abyss
Plague of the seas
Tentacle kiss
Razor sharp teeth

Guardian of the grave
3 hellish heads
10 miles below
The city of the dead

Satan obsolete, your pitch black sheep, yours forever
Demon Amethyst, your world's not lit, a sunken wasteland
Oh your name was lost, in the myths for us, and never Spoken loud

Born in Triton's caves
A million years away
Seeking out his prey
On his endless odyssey

Down there in the darkness
Centuries of evil
And his arms will take you deeper and deeper
God lives under water
We all seek his kingdom
And you feel his embrace, sweeter and sweeter


14. SOLITUDE

I'm sitting here alone in darkness
Waiting to be free,
Lonely and forlorn I'm crying
I long for my time to come
Death means just life
Please let me die in solitude

Hate is my only friend
Pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude

Receive my sacrifice
My lifeblood is exhausted
No one gave love and understanding
Hear these words
Vilifiers and pretenders
And please let me die in solitude
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
