1. INTRO/BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS

Blood on your hands
You were born your brother's keeper
Why can I see blood on your hands?
You became your brother's slayer
Embrace again in death

At the end of all this hatred lies even deeper hate
Their darkness has defeated you, your lifetime running backwards

[Chorus:]
Remember, sins of our fathers
A requiem, for the countless dead
Blood is on your hands, the wages of sin

Future's eyes closing now
Soul eclipse taking place
Laments rise, tears of the dead
From the other side of the grave

You were born your brother's keeper
Why can I see blood on your hands?
Their darkness has defeated you
Your lifetime running backwards

Future's eyes closing now
Soul eclipse taking place
Laments rise, tears of the dead
From the other side of the grave
From the other side of the grave

Blood is on your hands, the wages of sin


2. RAVENOUS

I am hunting for your soul
It dwells within your heart
I lacerate the pounding flesh
Your spirits shall be mine

So rise my spirit rise!
Revel in this dead mans' body
Grip his soul, sip the blood
Life is death
A holy carnage

Ravenous
I will be god
Carnivorous Jesus
I need your flesh

Ritual slaughter
Fill up the chalice
With the essence of your life
Liquid strengths
Trapped in your veins
I crave your blood
You must die!

Ravenous
I will be god
Carnivorous Jesus
I need your blood


3. TAKING BACK MY SOUL

Processed, diluted
Virtually unrecognizable
I was lost there, no direction
A scattered void

No more
It's over
I'm on to you
Your evil game
The tables have turned
I am taking back my soul

Tranquilized, scrutinized
Hate injected mind
As if internal wounds
Wouldn't bleed, wouldn't hurt me

I see through your lies
Taking back what's mine


4. DEAD EYES SEE NO FUTURE

Giving our blood
To the doomsday machine
Fighting for ravaged land
A worthless gain
Marching on a dead end road

A violent new disorder
Feeding off mistrust
Forgot what we were fighting for
A worthless aim
A victory stinking of despair

Dead eyes
See no future
Falling from grace
We are coming home

Dead eyes
See no future
Falling from grace
We are coming home

Battalions of hate
Seeking shelter in hell
Bloodstained memories
Will we ever be forgiven?
Our twisted fate
Time will tell

Dead eyes
See no future
Falling from grace
We are coming home

Dead eyes
See no future
Falling from grace
We are coming home


5. DARK INSANITY

Weak and sick I crawl
In the dust of past mistakes
Leaving for the darkness
Of tears and cold heartaches
Suffer in this grief
Of forever burning hate
The ashes of my life
By the torment you create

On my knees... remembering
The wasted years of dark insanity

The rage increases fast
As the memories eat me alive
God, I wish this to end
But I'm not prepared to die
No more a human being
Just a fool of anxiety
Unable to escape
The darkest insanity


6. THE DAY YOU DIED

The precious child with an innocent mind
Born to suffer, in this life or for another

So hopeless and relentless falls this remorseless day
The dark remains of a violent world

The day you died my tears ran dry
I feel you, I can hear you echo in my soul
I failed you, I missed you so
The day you died echoes in my soul

The world's on fire, turned its back on us
A lost horizon left behind

So hopeless and relentless falls this remorseless day
The dark reality of a hostile world

The day you died my tears ran dry
I feel you, I can hear you echo in my soul
I failed you, I missed you so
The day you died echoes in my soul

The day you died my tears ran dry
I feel you, I can hear you echo in my soul
I failed you, I missed you so
The day you died echoes in my soul

8. SILVERWING

Fly with me on a starlit sky
I'll set you free... Yes, it can be
A dream unchased is a life at waste
Never let them conquer your pride
Our love is warm here
Like the image of a distant sun
This star will always shine
And never, ever fade away

Fly on... Silverwing
Fly with me... Stay free... Silverwing

Seeking truths in spirit skies
Which one of you will guide me tonight?
The milky way tastes sour,
Has heaven lost its power?
So let us set sail on this sea of dreams
The moon gets lost in the morning sun
Just let the spinning wheel spin
And let your life begin


9. NIGHT FALLS FAST

Shades of darkness
To come
The air, breathe the poison
Are dead

The sun rises and sets again
The sky burns red
Concealed hate
The light in our eyes you'll find
To join the darkness of our tomb

The Earth is losing it's light
Night falls fast
Watch the dying sun
Your last

No angel dares to
Sound of
Future
Foul rats
Nature begins
To shine it's fury

The sun rises and sets again
The sky burns red
Concealed hate

The Earth is losing it's light
Night falls fast
Watch the dying sun

Night falls upon mankind
Pay

[Solos]

The sky burns red
Concealed hate

The Earth is losing it's light
Night falls fast
Watch the dying sun
Your last


10. DANIEL SOLO

(Instrumental)


11. BURNING ANGEL

Dark shadows from above
Ravens fly, obliterate the sun
"It's a sign of the devil.
He will come for his servant tonight"
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies

Am I to burn
I have not sinned!
Burnt at the stake.
Innocent blood that can never be washed clean

The flames of ignorance
Grow higher and higher
Licking my flesh, burning my soul
The raven laughing in the moon

These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats.
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies again...


12. MICHAEL AMOTT SOLO (INCL. "INTERMEZZO LIBERTE")

(Instrumental)


13. DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD

I leave the anguish behind
Scars are healing, I am set free
The chains of guilt are in the past
They no longer have a hold on me

Dead bury their dead

I walk through Elysian Fields
The light is shining on me

Time marches on...


14. VULTURES

Breathing life into these lungs
Turn into flesh
This is the ending I fear the most
I feel their eyes staring at me

with carnivorous visions
The memory us
I must succumb to die

[Solo]

I try to cry
Right into the sky
wings blackened out
The morning sun with infinite darkness
Am I dreaming or am I dead

with carnivorous visions
The memory us
They're all alone
I must succumb to die

In search for my heart
Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart

In search for my heart
Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart

[Solo]

Scary voices in my head
They try to break
The deadly silence
Devouring the remains
Of my heart
With the feeling of dying

with carnivorous visions
The memory us
They're all alone
I must succumb to die

In search for my heart
Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart

In search for my heart
Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart

[Solo]

Left me dead inside
mortal
Left me dead inside
Left me...

[Solo]

In search for my heart
Forever lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart


15. ENEMY WITHIN

Dark thoughts rise up
Deep in your mind
The killing of hope
The end has begun

The locked psycho-door breaks down
The beast breathes freedom and fire
Blows bloody thoughts into your mind
Demons whisper: "Commit suicide!"

Weak is your body,
Helpless your soul,
The beast destroyed your will
Left nothing but an empty shell

Dark thoughts rise up
Deep in your mind
The killing of hope
The end has begun

Self destruction leads its way
Your weapons turn against yourself
Cutting through, killing you
A downward spiral, the shadowbeast has won

The shadowbeast calls
A vulture of life
Your worst enemy dwells
From within


16. SNOWBOUND

(Instrumental)


17. SHADOWS AND DUST

At the mercy of our conscience
Confined within our fate
Never really questioned why
We are refugees in a dying world

To become a part of the end

Are we the ones, the ones to blame?
We are mortals of shadows and dust

[Lead melody : Michael]

The sun sets on our sinking ship of fools
On our journey into oblivion
We ask ourselves again and again
Now will we be remembered

[Lead : Michael]

Shadows...
And dust...


18. NEMESIS

We walk this earth
With fire in our hands
Eye for an eye
We are nemesis

We are with you
Countless vicious souls
Fight, fighting for freedom
United, we standÂ…
we stand

We are a legion
Voice of anarchy
This is revolution
Creating new disorder

We are enemy
Devided of the system
Crushing hypocrisy
Slaying the philistine

One for all, all for one
We are strong
We are one
Nemesis

One for all, all for one
We are one
Nemesis

A malicious fever burns
In our heart, in our veins
Your blood, my blood
All blood runs the same

One for all, all for one
We are strong
We are one

One for all, all for one
We are one
Nemesis


19. WE WILL RISE

Tear down the walls
Wake up the world
Ignorance is not bliss
So fed up with second best
Our time is here and now

I am the enemy
I am the antidote
Watch me closely
I will stand up, now

We will rise
Rise above

Stereotype Fools
Playing the game
Nothing unique
They all look the same
In this sea of mediocrity
I can be anything
Anything I want to be

We will rise


20. OUTRO / FIELDS OF DESOLATION

On the fields of desolation
We are all alone
Crying in each others arms
In fear of the unknown
Feelings of uncertainty
We are all doomed
To live in solitude
And never ending gloom

On the fields of desolation
Eternal life or termination

Why don't you cover me
I need your sanctuary
This sea I'm drowning in
Might be where the end begins
In times of grief and sadness
We're searching for the light
Seek for a place of safety
Seek for a place to hide
God turned his back on man
In divine resignation
Torn between two believes
Eternal life or termination?

As we drown in darkness
Weak and depraved
On our final journey
Too late to be saved
We've gone through places
Where the cold wind blows
Is this the end of it all
I don't know, I don't know
