ANGEL DUST

1. BORDER OF REALITY

I'm trying to think
But I can't catch my thoughts
Confusion is reigning my mind

The void in your word
Should cause me to fear
The coldness is getting near

Clear my eyes
Let me see
I'm going to lose my aim
Show me the sense

The propecies are raining, down from the sky
But answers are not to be found

The longing for something that we cannot find
Uncovers our fatal disguise

Clear my eyes
Let me see
I'm going to lose my aim
Show me the sense

Let me fall
Let me dream - of beauty and truth -
Let me feel
Let me see - the border of reality

Now that we all have perceived our fate
Reality lies and the lie lives in me
Is it all over or will it go on
I'm sure we have nothing to fear


2. NIGHTMARE

Listen my children,
Listen what your lord's gonna say
I hear you praying and praising me day by day
I know that you believe in me, the only truth
You're the discciples of knowledge
All elder and youth

And I will eat up your minds
And swollow your souls
There ain't no escape
From the mechanical claws

I'm just your only nightmare
Etched in your mind
I'm just your only nightmare
And I'll be back night after night

Listen everyone
To what your lord's gotta say
There ain't no sinners
You all know what is to do

And I'll will eat up your minds
And swallow your souls
There ain't no escape
From the mechanical claws

I'm just your only nightmare
Etched in your minds
I'm just your only nightmare
And I will come bach - every night


ICED EARTH

1. MELANCHOLY (HOLY MARTYR)

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years I’ve tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I’ll die for

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I’ve said and done
Don’t matter to anyone
But still, you push me to see
Something, I can never be
Why am I their shattered king?
I don’t mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I’ll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I’ll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes
(Make the sadness go away)
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
(For them, for them I must die!)
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I’ll die for


2. PROPHECY

I can see clearly now, a painful vision indeed
An attack on hallowed ground, from high above
Alien to us, the species known as man
A serious threat, in the eyes of the elder

So heed my warning, before our own existence falls near extinct
Our culture is lost in ancient mystery, covered in the sands of time

A sacred few survive the massacre this night
In secret they will meet a new society

Ten thousand years from now, a child will be born
I've seen the vision, the writing on the wall
He'll walk the earth, two thousand years or more
Paving the way, for mankind's fall

So there is hope you see, but we must act with great speed
Assemble the chosen, the ones to lead, and morph them in the likeness of man

Oppressed for centuries, await the prophecy
The child will set us free, reclaim it rightfully

We'll take their identity and live among them free
All the while, plotting events that mold their history
We'll build the perfect beast with the knowledge that they seek
If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat

Assassins we will be, through human history
Jesus christ to kennedy, the domino decree
Disciples of the watch, prepare the coming curse
If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat

And so, our world is doomed, we'll lay claim again some day
There is hope, in the birth of one, so many centuries away
