1. PRELUDE TO MADNESS

(Instrumental)


2. RISE FROM ASHES

Many've been my misfortunes
Many've been my crimes
To linger in forlorn hope ?
Forgiven in due time ?
Bright the path before me
Let it lead not astray
Let it find and guide me
Light of fortune not far away

Rise from ash
And scourge
The world with hope
Ancient redeemer
To die and be reborn

Darkness eludes me
I fear to see the light
Shining so fierce before me
Burning hellish bright
And yonder, I wonder
What lies ahead so fine ?
Is it a face I wonder
With features so fine

Darkness surrounds me
I swirl in blood
Vacant thoughts that elude me
The sky will burn

Guide me through dark times
Lead me through the days
When temptation lurks me
And bids me to obey

Straight, the path before me
Straight, it will be
Righteous and obedient
Light of fortune not far away

Portayal, betrayed
A fake identity
Darkness shaded
What is it that surrounds me ?
A hallow of horror
I can not escape
Malevolent terror
Innocence raped


3. ANXIETY

Man's objective
Secure the line
Justified or rightly
Uncertain answer
The line of relatives
Present in time
Demonic ailing
Secure the line

To hate and hate again
Blood's inheritance
Hate and hate again
When will the conscience clear ?
Answers hidden deep
In the eyes of the kin

Where lies the fine line
Righteous or crooked
Different yet the same
Malicious inheritance
The urge is strong
Blind desire frenzies
Unresolved completely alone

Please not him
Surely different
Why, oh why this suspense
Grant me tranquility


4. DUEL (ARES' DELIGHT)

The world around fades
Sharpening of the senses
Blood rushes through veins
Look for gaps in defenses
The world around fades
Sharpening of the senses
Blood rushes through veins
Look for gaps in defenses

Aligned for the kill

Swift, no trill
A matter of you or him
No choice, death's grin
A matter of you or him

Fractions betray,
Magnificent array
Lives balanced,
On the edge of cold steel

Muscles tense, breath stops
Death dealt in one swift chop
No guilt, no remorse
Life split, one dead corpse

The art of killing, refined
Blood spilling, divine
Sacrifice to the gods of war
Yield to the ancient lore

Muscles tense
Breath stops
Swift death

Eyes focus
Minds meet
The duel won
Beforehand

Death dealt
Swift chop
Life split
One dead corpse

Ares' delight


5. CRAVING FOR GLORY

Disfigured and mangled
Lying barbed wire
Memories of life
Slowly fade away

No memirla shall be held
To remember your defeat
No medal shall be given
To honour your fall

Chaos and consent
Are all what's left
Now channel your anger
And staff tall

Blood and soil
Shall not prevail
A man must come
And terminate
Rise to power
Fuelled by hate
Stabbed in the back
To get their way

Stripped of all pride
And paralysed by fear
All efforts are lost
For a glorious return


6. GEMINI

The bonds are broken
Shattered through
Man's dreams
Losses never redeemed
Hatred awoken
Crimes of blasphemy
Herald a killing spree
Losses never redeemed
Losses never redeemed

Kill for the one
With different names
Spill the blood
Gemini

The masses enslaved
Lead through lies and deceit
Losses never redeemed
Words twisted
Writings to mislead
Distortion to suit the faith
Losses never redeemed
Losses never redeemed

The one with many names
Rears his face as a
Blood-thirsty demon
For in his name millions died
And still die today

On goes the slaughter
To avenge on the other
Brother on brother,
All for the one
God with many names

Portrayed as peaceful
Righteous and forgiving
The lord who giveth
And taketh away

Yet millions lie buried
For his sake
And all in his name
Be it Allah, be it Yahweh,
The lord and the father
Be it the god of gods
Whom drove the others away

Gemini, sign of twin brothers
United by blood,
Divided by god
What will remain
when both fight each other ?
Will there be peace
when only one remains

Fools, we are
When one fights another
Free, are we
In what we believe
Gemini, they are
Brother fights brother
The same, are they
Yet why can't they see ?

Blinded by hatred
Blood spilled for beliefs
Guided by preachers
The virtuous deceived


7. DESOLATION

Enter my world,
Share my pain and gain
Share, my dreams,
All I cherish and revel in
Seasons of chaos and order
Could you understand ?
Who I am, what is me

Seasons that shift and change
I wish you could comprehend
Who I am, who is me,
Preposterous self deceit

A pleasure, unshared,
Cursed to roam forlorn
Once can only attempt,
And fail desolately

A lack of understanding,
Unable to express
One's mind complete
Once can only attempt,
And fail in solitude
A lock of comprehension,
Unable to express
One's mind complete
Once can only attempt
And fail in misery

I am, no one else knows
I was, none shall ever know
I am, shall I ever know ?
I was, and still am alone
No one else knows
And still remain alone

I was, and in desolation fail


8. REVERSAL

Years of silence
All is well
Years of cherish
Everything is an overthrow
Respect the silence
Of the daily life

Everyone crawls
The head says yes
Just accept the things
The way they are
Can't you see
What you do to us?

The leak that no one saw coming
The damage vast
Rivers flow, walls are built
Face of abandonment
Minds destroyed
Can't you see
What you do to us ?

Stay blind, stick to it why ?

The money of support
A trap of closed eyes
Guideline of life
leads to a dead end
Living a life of betrayal
Life's Guideline
Leads to a dead end
Can't you see
What you do to us ?

In the eyes your days
Are numbered


9. MALICIOUS INTENT

Fallen from disgrace
Unleashed upon foreign worlds
Talents gone to waste
Determined and true in words

Carnage of ways untold
Suffering upon the world
Baying for control
In blood I am whole

Evolve
A world cruel obscene
Carnage
Nature has foreseen
Cast away
Blasphemous I stand
Victorious
I'll reign these lands

In deadly hate
The one against the other
As I am subtle false
And treacherous
Denied the right at your left
Punished for pride
Discarded from heaven

If evil it is to be
The it is what I urge
Destruction of the adored
Seduction of virgin worlds


10. ATROCITIES

Peace and silence disturbed,
Once again
Wasn't the last seed crushed ?
Inner peace violated again
A moment that
Should not have seen dawn

Awaken, thou my demon,
I call thee
Awaken, thou my hate,
Needed again

Salvation in your hands at last
Eyes opened we presumed
Alas the saviour
Came back in a new form
As betrayed and begging,
To claim what was hers
The horror of unfolding sorrow
I fear the past
The blade that pierced

The atrocious heart

Always sober, thinking, focussed
The target always in sight
Patience shall be rewarded
Just one cause, seek and destroy

Awoken, is my thorn
Hearing my call
Awoken, is my strength,
It shall be done

Always sober, thinking, focussed
The target always in sight
Patience shall be rewarded

The time has come


11. LAMENT

Dwelling in unlikeliness
I resist - yet cannot triumph
Over what is to come
Faith slowly taken from me

Banishment
Punishment
Excrement
Hidden lament
Pain rules

My reach clings to nothing
I melt away - thrown away
Tears as in abandonment
Gazing through an empty stare

Where has gone
What was once me ?
I die in every move
World perverse - hate reversed
Outside lies the enemy

Hidden behind masks of concern
No womb, no man, no thoughts
A disfeature of
What could have been
No womb, no man, no thoughts

World in a world
Story untold
My life
Ode to Oblivion


12. DIABOLIC AILINGS

Unstoppable need
Reach to the unknown
Hope never to find
Compelling need

It happens again
Demons, lunacy
Thoughts elude, reality fades

Longing instinct
Yearning obsession
Try to resist
Suffocating instinct

Fast running blood
Eyes focus
The need grows
The beast arrives

It feeds me
It steers me
This diabolic urge
It eats me
It kills me
This lingering force

The instinct awoke
Control fades away
Temper the temper
Easy and calm
