1. LIKE FIRE IN THE NIGHT

There's a lethal breeze, an infected wind,
Set to release the blood within
Carnage supreme... the bitter truth
Or just an evil dream?

The colour of our fate is red
The fallen ones have been misled
It's just a matter of time...
'cause we all shall fall. One by one! UH!

Just like a firestorm, like a raging plague the wind did blow
Is it a curse from above the heavens?
Or just a breeze from the lands below?

Oooh! There's a lethal breeze coming over us
-it's like fire in the night!
Yes! There's a deadly wind blowing in
-and it's outta' get ya'!

A million deaths in two weeks time
What'll happen next? Am I the next in line?
A sacrifice... to the blackened skies...

The colour of our fate is red
The fallen ones have been misled
It's just a matter of time...
'cause we all shall fall. One by one! UH!

Just like a bloodstained dream, the nightmares became true
Is there any hope for a new reality?
Is there a world beyond for me and you?
(No there ain't!)

Oooh! There's a lethal breeze coming over us
-it's like fire in the night!
Yes! There's a deadly wind blowing in
-and it's outta' get ya'!

Yes!!! We all gonna die,
As leaves we'll fall to the ground
Burned by the fire in the night...


2. FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL

He's awaken from the spheres of dark
At the crimson moon at night he barks
Howling at the bloodred moon
Bringing forth the infernal doom

From time immemorial he's awaken
He's the prophet of doom and he's godforsaken

In the forest of illusion, the darkest place on earth
In the castle of damnation he is hiding from the world
Reading invocations, spells of evil fiends,
In the night of darkness and in his own beliefs

In the night of darkness,
In solitude he was born

In the winter silence he is feasting
On the blood of the souls forlorn

From time immemorial he's awaken
He's the prophet of doom and he's godforsaken

In the forest of illusion, the darkest place on earth
In the castle of damnation he is hiding from the world
Creatures in the cellar, spider web and dust
Deep down in the castle he liberates his lust


3. CRYSTAL WALLS

"In the dreams of the wicked lie the thoughts of the twisted
So I guess I'll never seethe light...
And in the eyes of a madman lie the tears of a sadman
The mourning star is shining bright! "...

In solitude I live my life,
All alone behind this solid wall
Beyond barricades of crystal ice
& snow, is where I feed my fall

I'm locked! Behind those crystal walls I'm doomed to die
Never to see the light
Oh won't you help me out of here
Crush the walls of despair
Crush the crystal walls!

Will I ever live again? Will I ever breath again?

My long lost life so far away
But what did I do to make it stay?
And now the pictures tearing my mind,
The images of what I left behind

I'm locked! Behind those crystal walls I'm doomed to die
Never to see the light
Inside internal halls I will remain. Eternally
I'm lost! Trapped in my personal insanity
Bound for eternity
Oh won't you help me out of here
Crush the walls of despair
Crush the crystal walls!

There's a fever within me, there's a burning inside my heart
There's a glowing heat inside, leaving me torn apart

Internal halls - In which I'll dwell eternally
Internal walls - Unbreakable for everyone but me...

The chains of insanity encage my mind
Crushing my soul, squeezing my mind, it makes me blind!


4. THE ENCHANTRESS

...of a mystic woman I have dreamt
She calls my name in my dreams
Is she a woman of heaven sent?
She's the queen among queens!

I watched her shadow in the pale moonlight
The empress of fire, the goddess of the night
Enslaved by her presence, encaged by her eyes
Weaver of illusions, I know the secret you hide

In realms of shades I search for her soul
Slowly dying with her, the daughter of sorrow

Caught in a web of tears, she screams but no one hears
In a lake of fire she seals the sense of desire
Inside I see her cry, I need her to stay alive
She's fading with the dawn, I await the end

She enters the gate to a dreamworld beyond
She passes the halls of eternal sleep
Her past speaks of sorrow, she's lost within
Her future is sealed in a world of sin

I still see her as she disappears,
Forever inside me I taste her tears
"You're falling deeper and deeper into the abyss my friend,
But somewhere in time we'll meet again. "
Embraced by silence, caressed by the wind
I feel the fervour expire within
Embraced by silence forever possessed,
By the daughter of sorrows; the Enchantress...


5. WHERE LIFE AND DEATH COLLIDE

A dying soul will never heal
A wounded body, never feel
A crying eye will never see
The pain that seals your destiny

"And if he falls no one will catch him,
Cause in a world of shit no one dares”

But who am I to blame? -Being part of such a miserable race
Who are we to blame? -Building our own way of disgrace

The needle's way -a dead end street,
A growing need you can't defeat
'Cause the flames of gray will be your end
To a world below you will descend

"And if he dies no one will miss him,
'cause in a world of shit no one cares"

But who am I to blame?... -Being part of such a miserable race
Who are we to blame?... Building our own way of disgrace

"I can see it in your eyes, you're such a lonely man"

In search for a helping hand
To show you the promised land
Your eyes were blinded and deceived
In search for a better place
Far from this senseless haze
Your soul was captured and bereaved
It's human needs

"Another human soul, heading straight towards the casket yard
-where sorrow guards
Yes, you re building your own way to the other side
-To where life and death collide"

But who am I to blame? -Being part of such a miserable race
Who are we to blame? -Leading ourselves into a senseless haze...


6. MIDNIGHT MADNESS

I'm on a fatal journey to the land between
On a nocturnal trip to the land unseen
Heading for a world unknown to man
Infinity is my last demand

Oh! I behold! The burning image of the dark and cold.
Yes! I'll obey! The mighty hand that makes the shadows sway

And as I enter the realm of eternal night
I receive the gift of nocturnal might.
And on for now I'll be one with the dark
Only the twilight shall feed my internal spark

Oh! I behold, the burning image of the dark and cold
Yes! I'll obey, the mighty hand that makes the shadows sway

"Darkened angel of despair, take me to the darkened sphere,
Spread your wings and lead me through,
Show me what the night can do"

Oh! I behold, the burning image of the dark and cold
Yes! I'll obey, the mighty hand that makes the shadows sway

Leave the silence; join the dark
Inhale the magic that the night reveals
And when the twilight has left it's mark...
You'll breath the power that the dark conceals

But in the end... it's only Midnight Madness


7. BUT NO ONE HEARS

Increasing darkness, farced to see
Things beyond reality
But this is life, not imagination
This is a world of desolation
In this despair without solution
I don't believe in a conclusion
In my own sadness, fear and pain
I'm running through a caustic rain

I'm in the middle of a roaring chaos, longing for life
-but death is all I see
I hear the dark descending from the skies
As I await my destiny

I see the stars reflected in my tears
I pray alone. I pray for innocence hut no one hears
(My cries)

But I recall the madness, remember all the pain
I've lived my life in sadness, I've lived my life in vain

Human lives have forever gone
To a darkened land through the blackened sun
Human souls have forever gone
A vulgar crime has been done
My life is running out of time
Fighting for what's theirs, what's mine
See me fade, soon I'll he gone
To sleep forever in a grave where I belong

I'm in the middle of a roaring chaos, longing for life
-but death is all I see
I hear the dark descending from the skies
As I await my destiny

And what has justice done throughout the years?
I pray alone. I pray for sympathy but no one hears
My cries, bereaved by thunder
And struck by lightning

They've deleted my mind so that no one can find
The horrible memories I've buried inside
They've erased my thoughts so that no one can see
The blood-coloured deeds of humanity
I'm a man without will, with no purpose to fill
Forced to delete, and programmed to kill
And when the bastards are here to blacken my heart
I settle my thoughts for my final depart


8. THE FINAL CHAPTER

Look into the future, remember the past
A life lived in agony, I'm dying at last

As if in a dream I cannot escape
I silently scream, scarred by the mind rape
Too many secrets, too many lies
Too many failures, another dream that dies

Chained. Trapped in this shell
Too blind to see, too weak to break the spell..

As the trees sway to the winds of hate,
As the seasons gray to seal my fate
Don't wanna leave, but cannot stay
Such a relief, this is the last day

The whispers within telling me it's through
Incessant unbounded hate of loving you
In death I can confide
A waste of flesh now laid aside

So lost, so far out of control
So empty that only you can fill the hole
Watch me die, see me fade away
No need to lie, this is the final day...

As if in a dream I cannot escape
I silently scream, scarred by the mind rape
Too many secrets, too many lies
Too many failures, another dream that dies

See me lie, right where i fell
I opened my eyes, I broke the spell


9. IN THE ASHES OF THE FALLEN

An ancient prophet once said that as the years go by
Humanity will fade; that their fatal greed shall destroy the world
But when everything seems to be lost, a man with origin unknown
Shall heal the wounds of the earth, and unveil the hidden truth
And the world shall hail him...

A present king speaking: "No, the profound mysteries of this world
Are never giving yield. The truth is sealed; buried deep within the
Dust of mankind. -Never to be revealed! "

700 years later:
A cold wind is sweeping over the desert ground; embracing
The dead trees and the remains of a glorious world that once was
Everything is dead, chaos has struck the world, the war has spared
No one except the immortal men born of the dark and cold
Somewhere beneath the ground they're gathering all their forces to
Save the shattered remains of the world. But there's only one man
Who has the power and courage to leave the silence and join the
Raging battle above
"Yes, the world is awaiting the saviour to come,
They're waiting for me; -the chosen one. "

I was sent by immortals, to explore the secrets of the earth
To unveil the truth, [and to make the bastards bleed]

I was sent by the mighty ones
By the immortals, "the darkest sons"
I'm destined to lead the way and to find the truth

I was sent by the sacred ones, by the immortalized from below
Sent to rebuild the fallen cities and to relight the fading glow

I was sent by the mighty ones
By the immortals, "the darkest sons"
I'm destined to lead the way and to find the truth
And the truth I'll find 'cause it's inscribed in my very mind
And it is written in the stars that I'm the child divine

The spirits of the fallen ones speaking: "My son, hear these words:
You have the great gift of power and knowledge; use it, and the
World shall hail you. You have to purify the name of thy ancestors
By unveiling the hidden truth, and by bringing light into darkness
So seek the truth, and nothing shall stop you. Search for life,

And I searched, but as the years went by and nothing did appear,
My faith in ever finding the truth started to expire
Until one cold winter night... When I saw the shadows of death; the
Guardians of the truth, our hopes and dreams, walking back and
Forth; guarding the entrance to the palace of evil. I grabbed my
Sword, grasped my crossbow and did what had to be done. I made
The bastards bleed, and I made 'em fight for their lives. When three
Fullmoons had passed I was finally able to catch my breath I raised
My sword in victory, yes, I had won, once again. So... my mission
Was accomplished, and tomorrow a new world was to be born...

I was sent by the mighty ones
By the immortals, "the darkest sons"
I'm destined to lead the way and to find the truth
And the truth I found, buried deep beneath the frozen ground
Buried... deep within the dust of the human race

And I relit the stars with my eyes, I relit the fading glow
I was given the power divine, as a gift from below
"Another spell is broken, another hidden truth unsealed
Another future world awoken, another quest revealed."


10. IN THE ARMS OF MORPHEUS
