1. LIBERTY

Don’t save the world
It’s too late they said
We will not close the curtain
Riding up to the sky
I am changing our ways
Reaching the power to live in liberty

Are you crawling here below?
The violence and bloodshed in the cold
Falling down into the ground and close to the edge
Just calling (calling), calling me away

Nothing is better than my pride
The prophecy will never die
Screaming warning after warning
Cries and crimes are in the air
Just calling (calling), calling me again

They hurt all my soul
When the creature of the past
Get back to the crowning
Reconquer our side

Now we will get our revenge
“But I cannot hide”
The revelation riding through the night
Can’t you feel the pain?
“I cannot die”
Our domination will defeat mankind!

I’ll open fire shooting first
The warriors that I am is cursed
They should hide from the oppressions

Bravely self-willed to survive
The prophecy used all my mind
Carry on to feel the glory
The victory is everywhere
Just calling (calling), calling me away
I’m calling, calling

Don’t save the world
It’s too late they said
We will not close the curtain
Riding up to the sky
I am changing our ways
Reaching the power to live in liberty

Don’t save the world
It’s too late
Hand in hand we all must keep the faith
Fight eternally
Don’t tell me now it’s too late
Mighty eternally
We need the crowning glory

Don’t save the world
It’s too late they said
We will not close the curtain
Rising up to the sky
I am changing our ways
Reaching the power to live in liberty
In liberty


2. DER TANZ DER SCHATTEN

[Raymond:]
Meine Augen sind so dunkel
Auch sind die Visionen schwarz
Schwarz wie die Nacht
Der Dämmerzustand des Menschen
Ist meine Zeit des Daseins

[Liv:]
Gleichwohl hast du deine Augen versteckt
Lichtschein hinter der Dunkelheit
Ein Licht das mir gezeigt hat
Daß du von Angst erfüllt bist
Erzähle mir bitte
Warum du diese Angst in Dir trägst?!

[Raymond:]
Ich bin so alleine
Einsamkeit in Ewigkeit
Gedanken nur für mich
Mit dem Schatten flüstere ich
Mit dem Schatten tanze ich
Einsam wandere ich
Das Blut begehre ich: Totentanz

[Liv:]
Tanze nicht mehr mit dem Schatten
Tanze bitte nicht über das Grab
Tanze mit mir den Walzer Luzifers
Ich sehne mich deine Braut zu sein
Um zu Finsternis zu werden

[Raymond:]
Den tödlichen Kuß zu empfangen
Folge der Finsternis in das Nichts!
Süßer Nektar auf deinen Lippen
Ein Rinnsal blutfeuchtes Leben
Ich lecke die Liebe aus deinem Gesicht
Ich lecke den Haß aus deinem Gesicht

[Raymond:]
Ein so berauschendes Gefühl:
Meine bittere Existenz zu schmecken!

[Liv:]
Für immer und unendlich:
Ein Seelsorger deiner bin ich

Laß mich Deinen Kuß begrüßen:
Den selbstzerstörerischen Kuß

[Raymond:]
Gebe dich mir hin!
Ich war von Trauer erfüllt

Ich war so untröstlich
Doch du hast die Liebe entfacht...

[Liv:]
“Bis ich sterbe, umarme mich
Und ich werde wieder auferstehen

Ich liebe dich...
Ich liebe dich...

Ich liebe dich...
Ich liebe dich...

Ich liebe dich...
Ich liebe dich...
Ich liebe dich...
Ich liebe dich...


3. LEGEND LAND

We headed west to legend land
Up river to set feet on soil

Smell morning dew on stubborn grass
Found grapes and vines and sweet temptation

Keeps me alive
(Keeps me alive)
In my legend land
I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land
A piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

For you and me
Eternity appears to me from Asgard sent

Shining through
Any time barrier
Like a wild flowers will to stay alive

To divide the stone
To break through

Legend land
I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land
A piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

In my dreams
A legend land
A piece of promise and hope
In my heart keeps me alive

Legend land
I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land
A piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

Legend land
We are and will be
Legend land
A piece you left
A piece of promise and hope


4. BYE BYE BEAUTIFUL

Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man’s face red
With their own blood

They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be? Don’t you see?
You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting

Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful

Jacob’s ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings walking the dying earth

Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells

I need to die to feel alive!

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be? Don’t you see?
You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting

Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful

It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday I’ll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

How blind can you be? Don’t you see?
How blind can you be? Don’t you see?
How blind can you be? Don’t you see?
That the gambler lost all he does not have?

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be? Don’t you see?
You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting

Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye beautiful
Bye, bye, bye, bye!


5. LOST IN SPACE

Another star has fallen without a sound
Another spark has burned out in the cold

Another door to the barren standing open
And who is there to tell me not to give and not to go

How could I know?
How could I know?
That I’ll get lost in space to roam forever

How could I know?
How could I see?
Feeling like lost in space to roam forever

I’m crawling down the doorway to the badlands
Been kicking down all your hurdles to the black

And all the damage fading in the rear-view mirror
When the demons are calling me
They’re dragging me away

How could I know?
How could I know?
That I’ll get lost in space to roam forever

How could I know?
How could I see?
Feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Lost in space
Lost in time
Lost in space
Lost in time
Lost in space

How could I know?
How could I...

How could I know?
How could I know?
That I’ll get lost in space to roam forever

How could I know?
How could I see?
Feeling like lost in space to roam forever...


6. NYMPHETAMINE

“Lead to the river midsummer
I waved a V of black swans on with hope to the grave
All through red September with skies fire-paved
I begged you appear like a thorn for the holy ones”

Cold was my soul, untold was the pain
I faced when you left me a rose in the rain
So I swore to thy razor that never enchained
Would your dark nails of faith be pushed through my veins again?

“Bared on your tomb, I’m a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon come above unto me?
For once upon a time from the binds of your loneliness
I could always find the right slot for your sacred key”

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter Nymphetamine!

Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better Nymphetamine!

Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine Girl!
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine
My Nymphetamine Girl!

Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest where whispers persuade

More sugar trails
More white lady laid than pillars of salt.

“Fold to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance her to the moon
As we did in those golden days”

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay

“Bared on your tomb, I’m a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon come above unto me?
For once upon a time from the binds of your loneliness
I could always find the right slot for your sacred key”

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter Nymphetamine!

Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better Nymphetamine!

Sunsetter
Nymphetamine!
None better
Nymphetamine!

Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine Girl!
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine
My Nymphetamine Girl!


7. SWEET REVENGE

Obscuritatem pestilentiam et malum

You tried playing games with my soul and my mind
You lied to my face, broke my spine
You’re stolen my innocence through all your shams
My heart pleads but you shall all be damned

Obscuritatem pestilentiam et malum
Miseria et dolor tecum

Run ‘cause I’ll trace you, I’ll chase you
I will face you then I will erase you
Sweet revenge for all the things you’ve done to me
I’ll bait you, give it straight to you
I will break you, devastate you
Sweet revenge for what you’ve done to me

You’ve shattered my plans, all my dreams have be slained
You sent all my hopes down the drain
You think that you’ve still got my heart on a string
Sweet revenge is waiting in the wings

Obscuritatem pestilentiam et malum
Miseria et dolor tecum

Run ‘cause I’ll trace you, I’ll chase you
I will face you then I will erase you
Sweet revenge for all the things you’ve done to me
I’ll bait you, give it straight to you
I will break you, devastate you
Sweet revenge for what you’ve done to me

Obscuritatem pestilentiam et malum
Miseria et dolor tecum

Run ‘cause I’ll trace you, I’ll chase you
I will face you then I will erase you
Sweet revenge for all the things you’ve done to me
I’ll bait you, give it straight to you
I will break you, devastate you
Sweet revenge for what you’ve done to me


8. NO EDUCATION

(Instrumental)


9. I RULE THE RUINS

There’s a tattooed symbol underneath my sleeve
An iron glove over a hand of steel
You can’t touch me
Don’t touch me

All for one and one for me
Listen well and I’ll set you free
You can trust me for eternity

No promise is honest
In a world of change

I rule the ruins
With passion and pain
I rule the ruins
Sinner or saint
Fortune or fate

Alive and well in this livin’ hell
I survived it all, now it’s time to tell
Can you hear me?
Do you hear me?

Once a tattered soul on bended knees
With one hand to God
I felt the devil’s breeze
I begged help me
Won’t you rescue me?

One promise dishonest
And everything will change

I rule the ruins
With passion and pain
I rule the ruins
Sinner or saint
Fortune or fate

There’s a tattooed symbol underneath my sleeve
Iron glove over a hand of steel

I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins

I rule the ruins
With passion and pain
I rule the ruins
Sinner and saint
I rule the ruins...


10. SWEAR

I have tried to find out who is she
The girl in the crowd
The rest call me by my own name

She has been lost and then found
And I just pray there will be a ground
To stand one day before it’s too late

Swear on your love
Your life won’t go waste
You will find your place
I swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before you die

She hasn’t always done for what is right
But who am I to judge and pull the line
On her own game

It may sometimes be too hard to keep
On my dreams and try to seek
That girl inside me

Swear on your love
Your life won’t go waste
You will find your place
I swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before you die

Swear on your love
Your life won’t go waste
You will find your place
I swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before...

Swear on your love
Your life won’t go waste
You will find your place
I swear on your love
If you have one desire
You do it before you die


11. AT THE BACK OF BEYOND

Your rigid eyes stare into gloom
I’m pouring out my grief to you
Should I escape?

Nothing but silence where I stand
Just a slight light at the end to pretend
I could escape

White walls coming closer and closer
Absorb my words without response

I am your guide out of the dark
At the back of beyond
I hear your cries although they’re gone
They are gone

Strain to scream my heart to you
From my lips no sound escapes
Just light from the moon
A twilit cry

Trying to pick the better side
Stay in darkness, chase the light
Am I wrong? Or am I right?

Painful sun is touching your face
A single ray may recall you to life

I am your guide out of the dark
At the back of beyond
I hear your cries although they’re gone

Through the night
Out of the dawn
I am by your side
But you are still alone

I am your guide out of the dark
At the back of beyond
I hear your cries although they’re gone

Through the night
Out of the dawn
At the back of beyond
I am by your side
But you are still alone


12. FATE PRISONER

Let me go to this world
See my pain sacrificed
Flee my row in unease
Filth no gain is my doom

In the warm dusk
Birth of life’s spark
Thrown in this world of greed
The essence flask
Sense stays in dark
Decay of seed

In a mace of colder fears
Dogmatic coercions unleashed
Pathway of the crowned beast
The heavens weep

Let me go to this world
See my pain sacrificed
Flee my row in unease
Filth no gain is my doom

The chain is broken
A creature is freed
All the bonds are concealed
Its hopes taken
Freedom is agreed
Fate is revealed

In a mace of colder fears
Dogmatic coercions unleashed
Pathway of the crowned beast
The heavens weep

Let me go to this world
See my pain sacrificed
Flee my row in unease
Filth no gain is my doom


13. ON THE WINGS OF A DOVE

Ravishing children in perilous times
Mother of harlots recanting her vice

Maelstroms
On the wings of a dove

Innocence lost!
In for the kill!

Galloping thunder waving its sword
Brother to death in darkness is born

Perish
In the bludgeoned presence of foes

Innocence lost!
In for the kill!

No glory for sorrows
No solace in harlots
No sunlight in shadows
No comfort embracing the dead

Fiery red fury unleashing its might
Drowning the laughter of ages to come

Silence
As the megatons fall

Ashes to ash!
Dust turns to dust!

Nuclear winters yearning for dawn
Stealing the life out of every last breath

Vanish
In the mist of a gangrenous gaze

Ashes to ash!
Dust turns to dust!

No whispering sorrows
Find comfort in harlots
Unveiling the horrors
Consumed by conflict and strife

And now as the trees start to tremble
Deepening damnation, the rolling bell

Running with wolves
Moribund conscripts are waiting to die
Lest cowards may horde
The sunset that fades in the west

Ashes!
Ashes!
Ashes!
Dust turns to dust!


14. MENACE OF VANITY

Comprehensive expressions of your social weakness
Vented on your countless made up enemies

I cannot know how you feel
When you don’t say anything

We don’t care what you say
We’ll never join the games you play
We won’t bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don’t care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore

Your misplaced sense of superiority
The result of your unbearable form of vanity

I cannot know what you see
When you don’t show anything

We don’t care what you say
We’ll never join the games you play
We won’t bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don’t care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore

I cannot know how you feel
When you don’t say anything
I cannot know what you see
When you don’t show anything

We don’t care what you say
We’ll never join the games you play
We won’t bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don’t care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore


15. THE GATHERING

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls
The gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life
The gathering

I see a world in anger
I see a world in pain
Each day a different story
But still the message is the same

Hard news I set beside me
Sweet dreams is what I need
What daylight wants to show me
At night appears to be insane

May I ask you in?
Shall I...
Shall I persuade you?

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls
The gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life
The gathering

My cards, the ones to choose from
The role they play tonight
Which ones embrace the loved ones?
Which ones will summon for a fight

Show me your precious darling
And I will crush them all
Wave with your blooded sword and
I’ll kiss to show I’m not afraid

May I ask you in?
Shall I...
Shall I persuade you?

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls
The gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life
The gathering

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls
The gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life
The gathering


16. ERADICATION INSTINCTS DEFINED

As mortal manufactured waste
And part of the commonly infected
You prevent the ones worthy the gift of life
To surface on once a prosperous soil

As superficially bewildered whores
And succumbing to fictional truth
You are taught to preserve and profit
The life institutional lie

You are taught to preserve and profit
The life institutional lie

You worthless piece of shit
May we all depart from this world
And dissolve into nothingness
Compassion will not be granted
When life’s value is point below zero

(When life’s value is point below zero)

Human depravity is at our disposal
As the perfect tool to destroy mankind
The worst kind of them all

Modern times’ ignorance
The world disease
Appeal to death of every man

A living hate
Smoldering abyss

Nurtured through centuries
With quietly exercised wrath
Seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine
Praising the final bloodbath

Uncertainty and guilt will
No longer endorse our fate
There will be no remorse
We kill to kill again, killing all

Go ahead, end it all, we deserve no better
As a forever unblessed detonation
The great plutonium chord fulminates
Blinding the eyes of creation

Cutting off all life support
Sweeping away existence instantly
Iced desolate ruins linger
Leaving traces of our lovely humanity

As mortal manufactured waste
And part of the commonly infected
You prevent the ones worthy the gift of life
To surface on once a prosperous soil

Uncertainty and guilt will
No longer endorse our fate
There will be no remorse
We kill to kill again, killing all


17. SKOGENS LENGSEL

Langt der inne
Under skogens slør
Venter jeg i min seng

Hemmelige ord
Flyter avsted
På leting etter deg

Lengter etter deg...

Kjenner den glødende pusten din
Så langt vekk
Men samtidig så nær
I dugget på vinduet
Skimter det et ansikt
Så kjært

Hvert sekund
Hver time
Hver måned
Hvert år
Har jeg ventet på det
som jeg aldri får

Kom til meg
For jeg trenger deg
Kom til meg

Kom til meg
For jeg trenger deg
Kom til meg
