1. RESURRECTION

(Instrumental)


2. PERFECT BUTCHERY

They rode all night, so the story goes
Thirsty for blood, in the name of the cross
Prisoners none taken, all killed, butchered, sacked
Vilified every man, every woman, every child

I drop down to my knees
And look up to the sky
Say one more prayer, shed one more tear
Before we all die

Fight with me, don’t let them take what’s precious to us
Awaken your rage, your will to survive
Raise your fist, we won’t let them have it without a fight
Kill them all, it’s us or them, we’re worlds apart

Ruthless beasts - they maim, they rape, they kill
The greed for more, true motifs are all revealed
Unquenchable thirst to conquer and control
The invisible rulers they obey and adore

I long for the world long forgotten, long gone
I long for the world where I feel I belong...


3. DENIAL AND HATE

Denial And Hate
Eternal torment
The struggle within
Stones have been cast
From those without sin

The axe falls quickly
The pain is quick
Mob’s cheering on
We've got a new king

A king of nothing
A king of lies
Master of puppets
Master of cries

The axe falls quickly
The pain is quick
Mob’s cheering on
We've got a new king

Deceiver - all you spread is hate
Disgraceful - mockery you make
Soul-less - all the pain you incite
Degenerate - your evil, twisted mind

The axe falls quickly
The pain is quick
Mob’s cheering on
We've got a new king

The soul cries out
It echoes throughout
It falls on deaf ears
The truth is sold out

The axe falls quickly
The pain is quick
Mob’s cheering on
We've got a new king


4. CATASTROPHOBIA

Throughout the eons of time
The men have read the signs
Would the changes be announced
By fire in the sky?

Is there science to this
Do we need a sacrifice
How many lambs will it take
Are we going to survive?

Save me from what’s coming next
Take me to a better place
Shield me from the wrath of God
Transport me away from the harm

Time after time
The man has tried
To rebuild the lives
Lost in disaster
Time and again
The cosmic dragon came
In this never ending game
Of total destruction

How many times before
We left the sign in caves
We built the monuments to this
To warn the human race

In these cycles of life
Random or designed
There is a cycle of death
On the planet Earth...


5. BETWEEN RAGE AND DESPAIR

Trapped in the pattern of thoughts
Imprisoned upon this Earth
Emptiness beyond control
I’m falling into a black hole
Humiliated without remorse
Tortured, intoxicated
There is no light, there is no end
Eternal pain, all hope is dead

Enter the sleep, enter the dream
Enter the light, it’s been so long..

Who do you think you are
Just to leave a trail in the sky?

Caged and sedated
Inflicted with humanity
I no longer await the morning
No longer greet the Sun
I slowly wither on these alien grounds
Terrified, cold, and lonely
I await time’s end

Why would you leave me here?
Where did you disappear to?

My soul scarred deeply
Forced into the form
Given the knowledge
Left here alone
Nightmares before my eyes
Memories hurt an infinite cry
There is no light, there is no end
Eternal pain, all hope is dead


6. MOTHMAN

Awake, or living a nightmare
Fear - growing deep inside me
Taken, into realm of horrid visions
Sinking, into twisted mind delusions

Spikey ears, glowing eyes
I’m terrified, immobilized
Vicious stare, awful stench
Paralyzed in sweat I’m drenched

Cryptid owl casting the spell
Lost in illusion I woke up in hell

Under the spell I cannot run, I cannot hide
Hunched over beast’s existence I can’t deny
My eyes wide open, dead fixed on him
My breath frozen, body holding still

He flies away, into the darkness
Still frozen in fear, heart trembling inside me
I could not forget, his terrifying presence
It haunts me still, to know he’s somewhere out there


7. THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE MYSTERY

[tribute to Nicola Tesla]

Electric wizard
Instinctive inventor
The mind master
Spellbound by thunder
Tormented by visions
Enchanted by lightning

Destiny unfolding
Ideas flowing
No sign of slowing
Existence changing
The visions kept coming
The old world crumbling

Strike of genius
Again and again
The mind never fails
Visions abound, day and night
Again and again
The world lights up!
I am the inventor
I was born to change the world
You can’t stop me, you can’t save me
I will fulfill my destiny

Forgotten by science
Lost to desires
To enlighten the world
Addicted to progress
Blinded by visions
To better the world
Hushed up and stifled
Repressed by investors
Degraded by peers
Ahead of his times
We must realize
His gifts to the world!


8. LUNACY BY DESIGN

Did you ever even think
Life would pass you by so fast
Did you ever realize
How much of it was a lie
Every morning you get up
Repeat the functions a thousand times
Like a robot never stopping
Your true self slowly dying

Lunacy by design
Sleep-walking through your life
Enslaved perception
Delivered to your screen
Spellbound by deception
Infected by fear

Sometimes it feels like a dream
Sometimes it feels like a nightmare
Locked inside reality
Carefully crafted insanity
Desensitized to daily violence
All you need is some silence
To hear your thoughts, to feel your heart
Life is freedom, life is art!

Your last chance in this crumbling world
Might very well be it’s demise
Defy the odds and wake up now
There’s no more time to compromise

Freedom denied
Locked in your mind
Living a lie
Indifferent and blind
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up!


9. AWAITING A MIRACLE

I’m losing my balance
I’m losing the hope
I’m drowning in sadness
I can hardly cope
The nightmare surrounds me
Worst visions came true
Skeletons behind me
Sky is no longer blue

I stand alone, at the edge of times
The skies burn red, covered with lines
The lies of the few, became the truth for us all
Enslaved by the few in search for total control

Do you remember, we were free a long time ago
Holding hands under a tree a long time ago…

The air smells poisoned
The rivers run red
Nowhere to escape this
Suffering and death
It cannot continue
We must stop it now
For sake of the future
We must make this plight

The fires are burning
The smoke hanging thick
Villages are drowning
People fallen sick
Betrayed by the leaders
Betrayed by beliefs
With worldwide corruption
The hell is unleashed

The games we played
Beauty of moments passed
Precious times we had
Is the future lost?

I await a miracle…


10. BEGINNING OF THE END

(Instrumental)
