1. THE SOUND OF SIRENS

(Instrumental)


2. ONE NIGHT TO REMEMBER

War machines drawing near relentlessly ten thousand to one overmatch
Discouraged troops their end is nigh the battle is now on the edge
Ineffable terror no one will be spared they all reach the border of hope
Indomitable courage catches their hearts that is not the end of the road

The order is clear
No one will ever surrender
This will be a night to remember
Struggling with fear
(this is a night to remember)

Overpowerful enemy lurks in the shades and derides the doubting men
Hacked down bodies cover the field overwhelmed by a battering ram
The resistance doesn’t want to break nevertheless because justice stands over the crime
The chance for liberty produces an over-human force – truthful a meaningful time

After the battle when the smoke has cleared – the surviving souls lie awake
Suddenly the sound of the sirens is heard – announcing that battle’s ahead


3. SLEEPING TITANS

Thousands of years, in the twilight of the gods
Battles were raging – disgrace: the titans lot

Try to unleash the bounded souls to light
Parched with the thirst, the thirst for their might
Earth will be heaven and heaven will be hell
Entering the dungeons, remembering antique spell

Don’t wake the sleeping titans
Exiled for life into the abyss of earth
Locked in chains to prevent their rising
There’s no mercy to excuse their deed

Walk through the fires, unlock the gates of hell
Stand all the demons caught in a bloody cell
Facing the titans, feel the breathing ground
Clotting my bloodstream, remembering the sirens sound

We woke the sleeping titans


4. OF FIRE

In a fraction of a second night
Falls and blackness covers us
Where do we go now? No one knows no one left to trust
Our pitiful creation is waiting ruthless in the dark
Picking up the scent of all victims that wear the mark

I am only the assistant of a genius scientist
Chased away from university, no longer able to carry that risk
Herbert west’s his name he calls himself Re-Animator
Within the meaning of mankind we had to become tomb raiders

The elements conspire
A dear price for our desire
A critter so unnaturally forged of fire

In the beginning the experiments were foredoomed to failure
Because for the best results we had to pick them up earlier
Only the freshest corpse would be able to live again
Unfortunately the consequence is eternal pain


5. SKIN WALKER

Help, my friend, these feelings overwhelming catch me
Now I tend to be convinced of what you tell me
Help, my friend, a devastating stream prevails my veins
And now my head is close to burst in everlasting pain

Help, my friend, the clouds now move aside my swelling body
Fails to be controlled by straining my mind
Help, my friend, a fractious hunger churns my thoughts
And now, oh god, my salivating mouth begins to growl

I see the moon, I feel his light
I smell the secrets of the night
These were your promises
I smell the world my throat is tight
This is the greatest of all nights
This is the world you foretold

Now my friend that pacifying light hits me
I’m lying calm and waiting in the gracious moonlight
Oh, my friend, this lovely silence is a gift I close my eyes
Waiting for the moment of my birth

I feel the light, that burning might
My bursting bones I am alone
That saintly glow much to bestow
I’m crying and my heart combusts in adoration

The pack is running through the night, freedom is mine

I saw the moon I felt his light
I smelled the secrets of the night
But what was the prize for this
The biped’s world is full of fright
Their tasty flesh brought me delight
Forgive me oh god what I’ve done


6. SPAWNING GROUND

I come to you my counselor, because I see
Circumstances changed, it’s hard to believe for me
I need your help, tell me what to do
Counselor you’re a wise man, tell me what is true

A spawning ground – nobody to trust
Covered with shame – loyalty is lost
Scoundrels and rascals – don’t tell me lies
Blood money and murder – they all have to die

The headsman shall expect all foolish traitors
Hail to my kingdom, to my sons and daughters
Now mop up the land from a great demolition
In the name of the law, listen that’s my decision

Look at all traitors, manacled and beaten
No fear! No esteem! They all are heathens
I condemn their behavior, so now they’re falling
The judge awaits them, their cross is still calling


7. BLOOD ANGEL (TCO III)

Missing confessions
Will be the marks of the victims to guide
The avenging angel through the night

Ancient choirs of the sirens –
Luring them down into the dungeon

Unholy maliciousness
Hidden in a symbol of mercy and love
In expectation of instructions from above

…fear the blood angel’s rise

Innate aggression
You can’t escape from the claws of the one
The reign of terror has begun


8. INSECURE

Hello out there to all the saints and sinners
It doesn’t matter if you’re a pro or a beginner
We all are part in this demonic game
The media overflow is boon and bane

A perfect world needs perfect bodies
Muscle-bound men and female hotties
No more place for the blind and the lame
Isn’t this a howling shame?

It’s this civilization our civilized nation
A mind desecration a grind fascination
Situation of life is insecure

Now it’s up to us to change this abuse
These precarious circumstances in use
No more part of this demonic game
Let us destroy this all-embracing reign


9. THE HOUSE OF SILENT SCREAMS

As legend has it in these dark streets
Exists a manic mansion
So profound evil anyone who enters it
Will be devoured totally

In order to prove this I decided to visit
This haunted building
Armed with a notebook in order to write down
Anything I see and hear

I entered the old house on a cold autumn day
And was really disappointed
Only to find empty rooms covered with old dust
And nothing mystical in here

When the air condenses and the staircases creak
Breathless feels like pumping syrup through your lungs
When you rather want to flee with a piercing shriek
With a taste of putrescence on your tongue
Life here isn’t worth a thing

Blood red streams, horrifying scenes
In the house of silent screams
Weird dreams, gory extremes
In the house of silent screams

But as I tried to leave I always entered
The same room without windows
And then I felt it for the first time
That something is here

I don’t know through how many rooms I ran
Only to find an exit
But if someone reads this there is no hope for him
Oh god they are coming near


10. PHOENIX RISING

Give me the strength to start all over and let this nightmare end
For it is our destiny that lies in our hands
Follow me out of the abyss into the gleaming sun
Be a part of me and struggle for we’re no chosen ones

And from the ashes a phoenix rose
Touching us softly with his wings of gold
A touch of blessing bearing pure life
Defeat all evil restrain the night

Out of Hades realm we are now trying to escape
Come on boys take your chance ‘cause it’s becoming late
Quiet now we are reaching the entry of the lair
Where the hound of hell is waiting for all of us who dare
