1. SOUTHERN SUN

The dawning of another day
Hello,my friend

I have but one to lead the way
That has no end
My journey through the desert
Turning shadows into life
You all thought that I was dead
But I am free

The road is now too much for me
I still can feel the pain
I can't believe that what I see
Has begun to fade away

The maps we made are turning white
It's time to let it go
I command your death with all my might
My tears have dried

[Chorus]
You all thought that I was dead
No! I am not dead, I am free
I was blind but now I can see
Under the southern sun

The tables turned, I'm back again
And watching over you
The time has come to take the lead
And I am pulling through

Tearing up the souls that walk my path
Because I can
We all rule the sky
And I have gone to god from man

You all thought that I was dead

No! I am not dead, I am free
I was blind but now I can see
Under the southern sun

The dawning of another day
Hello,my friend
I have but one to lead the way
That has no end

My journey through the desert
Turning shadows into life
You all thought that I was dead
But I am free


2. BEYOND THE GATE

Beyond the gate, this is your fate
So far removed, await your doom
There is a place, inside your head
You walk the maze, already dead

Beyond the gate, you face your fears
You won't return to your safe nest
You're trapped again, there is no escape

You scream out loud, but there is no sound

[Chorus]
Now you know where I have been
Now you know what I have seen
Hell has changed, but still the same
How does it feel to go insane?

Beyond the gate, a helpless state
Your body's numb, what have the done?
Inhuman pain, where is your god?
The pungent stench infests your mind

Beyond the gate, this is my fate
So far removed, await my doom
There is a place, inside my head

I walk the maze, already dead

How does it feel to go insane ?


3. THEY PALE

They walk this earth just like you
They breathe this air just like you
They smile, they cry just like you
Yet they pale when I think of you

They see my face, they hear my words
There's one thing they'll never do
They see my face, they hear my words
They'll never understand like you

[Chorus]
Far away, that's where you are
Yet you shine like the brightest star

Oh, they pale
You're my light
Can I hold you
One more night ?


4. LEGACY

Through the years of history
I built my legacy on mystery

I see your misery
It's such a shame to me
Why can't you see ?

I've ruled with tyranny
It's the way it had to be
No need to flee

You sure felt agony
Had to get down on one knee
I heard your plea

[Chorus]
Take my hand
Come follow me
Sin with me, you'll be set free
Take my hand
Believe in me
The way of sin, will set you free

There is no sympathy
You will suffer silently
In your inner sea

No reward for bravery
It's the same old tendency
My legacy


5. RESTLESS WANDERER

Restless wanderer
Hopeless seeker
Searching high and low for you
Restless wanderer

[Chorus]
Chasing ghosts and chasing shadows
Turning stones inside the graveyard
Sucked into the void so tired
Stumbling through the graveyard, baby

Restless wanderer wandering
The hopeless seeker is seeking
Restless wanderer wandering

Healings impossible
Choices forgettable
Searching in my head for you
Restless wanderer

Silent agony
Waiting patiently
Searching all the stars for you
Restless wanderer

Restless wanderer wandering
The hopeless seeker is seeking
Restless wanderer wandering


6. LEAD ME ASTRAY

(Repeat x2)
Take my hands and lead me astray,
Far, far away


7. LADIES OF THE NIGHT

The ladies come to life
With no pulse to be found
Give life to those who drowned

And plant a cross on their mark

Their feet don't touch the ground
And the don't make a sound
They will come again, my friend
The ladies of the night

[Chorus]
Ladies of the night
Will hunt you down

Ladies of the night
Screaming in your mind
The ladies' morbid rite
With no rest to find

Ladies of agony
Restless evil deep within
With faces you can't see
Just grins and pale white skin

They'll penetrate your mind
And turn you into them
They will come again, my friend
The ladies of the night

And with their ritual
They awaken the damned
They arise from suicide
With the sacrifice of a lamb
The nocturnal creatures
Who gather the sinners
Will find you anywhere

The ladies of the night

They're past eternal sleep
and doomed to walk this earth
They've sacrificed themselves

Must the pact be so ?

In a city filled with creeps
Crowned with neon lights
They will do their work again
And maybe that's alright


8. DARKEST DAY

On this darkest day it's hard enough to breathe
But I smile
All these mourning people who dare to show their tears
On this darkest day

Gather for the last goodbye, as sadness is all around
I'm still glad

[Chorus]
I'm struggling to breathe
On this darkest day
I'm struggling to breathe

All these beautiful babies that run away from me
But I'm not sad

All these strangers seem to head back to their homes
I could use a drink

Hell is loose but you can choose
To join me at the bar
Where my friend is Jack


9. MOTHER SHIPTON PT. I

A carriage without horse will go
Disaster fill the world with woe

In Londo, Primrose Hill shall be
In center hold the bishops sea

[Chorus]
Hear Mother Shipton's prophecy
Clairvoyant or insane?

Around the world men's thoughts will fly
Quick as the twinkling of an eye
And water shall great wonders do
How strange and yet it shall come true

Through towering hills proud men shall ride
No horse or ass move by his side
Beneath the water men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk
And in the air men shall be seen

In water iron then shall float
As easy as a wooden boat

Gold shall be seen in stream and stone
In land yet unknown

Through towering hills proud men shall ride
No horse or ass move by his side
Beneath the water men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk

They'll ride astride with brazen brow
As witches do on broomsticks now

And in the air men shall be seen
In White and black and even green
A great man shall come and go
For prophecy declares it so


10. MOTHER SHIPTON PT. II

In nineteen hundred and twenty-six
Build houses light of straws and sticks
For then shall mighty wars be planned
And fire and swords shall sweep the land

This is the last prophecy (x2)

When pictures seem alive with movements free
When boats like fishes swim beneath the sea
When men like birds shall scour the sky
Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die

[Chorus]
This is the last prophecy
This is the last prophecy
For storms will rage and ocenas roar
When Gabriel stands on the sea and shore

For those who live the century through
In fear and trembling this shall do
Flee to the mountains and the dens
To bog and forest and wild fens


11. DEMONS ON WHEELS

Feel the fire under my heels
Try to run away but it's never getting colder
Try to look back no one is there
Still I feel a breath down my neck I even hear a whisper

[Chorus]
This is the way we're supposed to live
We're haunted by demons on wheels
This is the path we walk
Not fooled by nobody's talk

Feel the fire under my heels
Try to run away but the heat is getting stronger
Try to look back no one is there
I hear a whisper in my ear

Feel the fire under my heels
Try to run away but still someone is watching
Try to look back no one is there
Still I hear them laughing at my fear


12. COFFIN REGATTA

The scratching nails of heavy storms
Ripped the ground one cloudy day
Resting souls were brought to life
They once again were on their way

They set their course for god knows what
As the heavens lit their way
The howling winds would cheer their fight
In the goddamned coffin regatta

Around the bend, is this the end
Yet another ship has sunk

This ship is made for soil and dirt
And not the hammer of the north

They set their course for god knows what
As the heavens lit their way
The howling winds would cheer their fight
In the goddamned coffin regatta

[Chorus]
When the water was still and slept again
Between the two that saw the end
Oh, when the water was still and slept again
And they were crowned with yet a grave

I was there when this went down
But I could not feel a thing
Cause my coffin was the first
Through this cold and hellish race

They set their course for god knows what
As the heavens lit their way
The howling winds would cheer their fight
In the goddamned coffin regatta
