1. UNDER SIEGE (REGNUM IRAE)

“The dual substance of Christ
The yearning so human of man to attain god
Has always been a deep inscrutable mystery to me
My principle anguish and source of all my joys and sorrows”

Religion domain is all I see
Suffocate the scum with mediocrity
Lying and changing your fate
Anno Domini ends - misery

“From my youth onward
Has been the incessant merciless battle
Between the spirit and the flesh
And my soul is the arena
Where these two armies have clashed and met”

Holy wars unleashing bloody raids
The sacred earth without a face
Consumed by murderous sinners
Psychotic leader

Insane!
Insane!
Insane!
Insane!

Living in a dying age
Persecute the human race
Triumph of death in the wasteland
Blood signs your epitaph

Religion domain is all I see
Suffocate the scum with mediocrity
Lying and changing your fate
Anno Domini ends - misery


2. BACTERIAL SURGERY

Gathered and driven under their command
They lived in fear for their judgement
Penal servitude, pitiless manhandle
All taken under medical treatment

Forced to take the depurative hypodermic syringe
Prison of experience, the testing laboratory
Experimental undertaking among those who suffered
They didn’t shrink back from insanity

Encaged with fear, the prospective death
Pernicious times, malicious inclination
Enslaved minds penetrated with aversion
They were pruned to insistent domination

Eradicate and waste lives for knowledge
For the occurrence has remained reality
Progressive development cannot be restrained
No sympathy, the animosity

Forced to take the depurative hypodermic syringe
Prison of experience, the testing laboratory
Experimental undertaking among those who suffered
They didn’t shrink back from insanity

Bacterial surgery
Terrible science, their destiny
Weakening, unconsciousness
In response to insanity

Bacterial surgery
Experience mortality
Purposeful endeavor
Inventions tendency

Use what lives for humanity
The eagerness, resolution
Living for the results
Calculation of the expectation
Flood-light the indefensible creatures
Blinded in their eyes
Medicines too frightened to look at
Instead of improving knowledge he dies

We all have the right to live
Don’t abuse it and take it away!

Important conscious jobbery
Acting irresponsible
Scientific desires, medical crime
Symptoms of bacteriology

Gathered and driven under their command
They lived in fear for their judgement
Penal servitude, pitiless manhandle
All taken under medical treatment

Forced to take the depurative hypodermic syringe
Prison of experience, the testing laboratory
Experimental undertaking among those who suffered
They didn’t shrink back from insanity

Bacterial surgery
Terrible science, their destiny
Weakening, unconsciousness
In response to insanity

Bacterial surgery
Experience mortality
Purposeful endeavor
Inventions tendency


3. DEMON SEED

There is a seed set to grow in my soul
That burns my heart but leaves my brain in control
Screams of pain and screams of fear
That lives inside my head

So now in different shapes I come to you
Smile as I fill your head with words untrue
Addictive ways of pleasure I bring to thee
You are weak, thereby easy to victimize

Crack my whip
To project demons in your mind
Taking you down to the forever black

Now it’s my time to rise
Break you down and grind your soul
Fear and disgust cracks your face
I have reached my goal

So now that I have entered your soul
I shall proceed to crush
Not because I want to or need to
Rather just because I can

Crack my whip
To project demons in your mind
Taking you down to the forever black

The one with the mind on a higher level
Precious life, honed to perfection
Devious in heart, spawn of the dark
Born of demon seed

The son of the one almighty
I will be there to control
Always doing what I please
Demon seed!

Crack my whip
To project demons in your mind
Taking you down to the forever black

Devious in heart
Spawn of the dark
Demon seed


4. VOICE OF SANITY

There’s a scream at midnight of a child whose time has come
With a beauty so fresh and new just twenty years she’d just begun
Now the hour is coming strong only to crush the innocent ones
Crimes of passion and pleasure, the reasons for what is done

Hear it echo thru the stages
Voice of sanity

As it’s flowing thru your mind
Let it bring you pain
Rivers turning blood red
Let it drain your brain

Looking from the hindsight of a world no longer strong
Thinking you are protected you don’t realize your sadly wrong
You can walk the straight line but that straight line will be gone
The voice is always watching and soon you will sing its sweet song

Hear it echo thru the stages
Voice of sanity

As it’s flowing thru your mind
Let it bring you pain
Rivers turning blood red
Let it drain your brain

As you see the new dawn and praise the safety of lighted day
Just like the young child we must all have a price to pay
And if we’re all mad, sanity is for whom to say
When the voice calls us we must all heed and come out to play

Hear it echo thru the stages
Voice of sanity

As it’s flowing thru your mind
Let it bring you pain
Rivers turning blood red
Let it drain your brain


5. LAND OF CARNIVAL

(No lyrics avilable)


6. LIGEIA

I do not remember where we did meet
Lengthened years have built my mind, memories undeep
Yet with instability, one thing stands too clear
Lady perfection, mystery of whom I shed a tear

Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?

Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?

Sickness fell upon Ligeia, all knew she would die
Midnight came to lay her rest, farewell
Opium dreams, grief-stricken years, I took another bride
Replacing that which I did have, Ligeia, why?

Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?

Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?

Chronic disease
My luck cursed
My new wife has died

Coming from her bed of death, I thought I heard her cry
Could a corpse cold, stiff, sedate, sob in the bed, it lie
Approaching her, I chilled to stone, for it did swiftly rise
I can never be mistaken, there were, they were, Ligeia’s eyes

Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?

Air-woven divinity
Tears shed, vitality
Cured of her malady
Yes, this is my lost...


7. SLAY THE OPRESSOR

The battle is over we’ve won the war
By evil no longer abide

Remember the lamb, the life covenant
As you’re strapping a sword to your side

Slay the oppressor
We must stand against the legions of hell

Slay the oppressor
We must not be victims to his...

...evil plots against man
Scouring with hate
Knows the lord
That they’ll soon be destroyed!

Satan will be set free to deceive the nations of the world
He will bring them together for battle
And surround the city of God

Fire came down from heaven and destroyed them
Satan was cast into the lake of fire
Tormented forever


8. ZERO TOLERANCE

In the dark of night
Abusing a portion of light
While others are sleeping and some are escaping
A serpent spews out fantasy
Unjustified blasphemy that cannot be condoned

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done

There will be zero tolerance
For the creator of hallowed intentions
There will be zero tolerance
Fate is your deciding God

Karma comes crashing down
Leaving a very deep scar
Exposing a door to the source of a verbal whore
Machines supply the altar
Where virtuous lives are sacrificed

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done


9. SATAN SAYS

Hi, boys and girls!
We’re going to play a game called:
Satan Says!

Now listen to me!
You know how to play Satan Says, don’t you?
We’re going to do everything that Satan says
Right? If we don’t, well (heh, heh, heh!)
We don’t want to find out what will happen
Do we?

Satan says “make a fist”
Satan says “shove it in the air”
Satan says “get ready”
‘Cause we’re gonna play The Game!

Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “shout loud!”
Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “go to hell!”

Satan says “stomp your feet”
Satan says “give me the sign”
Satan says “Metalheads, unite”

Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “shout loud!”
Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “go to hell!”

Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “shout loud!”
Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “shout loud!”
Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “shout loud!”
Satan says “follow me!”
Satan says “go to hell!”

Satan says “I love Kat!”


10. MANIC DEPRESSION

Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don’t know
How to, go about gettin’ it?
Feeling, sweet feeling
Drops from my fingers, my fingers
Manic depression is catchin’ my soul

Woman so hot, the sweet cause in vain
We make love, we break love
It’s all the same, it’s so hot
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress

Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think I’ll kill myself off and go on down
Really ain’t no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene

Music, sweet music!
I wish I could caress, caress, caress!
Manic depression is a frustrating mess!


11. PREACHER, PREACHER

Preacher, tell me no lies
Send me more money or else I will die
You go to church every day
Trying to find god so you give them your pay

I’ll tell you evil yet I do no wrong
Chapter fifteen, let’s sing another song
Have my own show, even make videos
Just more money to stick up my nose

He’s not afraid to lie
Greed is the reason why

My wife’s recovering from coke
I buy it for my family but I’ll never go broke
People come for help they say
You take their money and you send them away

I have a few billion not much to me
I need a lot more thanks to my greed
Have fourteen houses and fifteen cars
Lay back in my mansion and watch people starve

He’s not afraid to lie
Greed is the reason why

Preacher, tell me no lies
Send me more money or else I will die
You go to church every day
Trying to find god so you give them your pay

I’ll tell you evil yet I do no wrong
Chapter fifteen, let’s sing another song
Have my own show, even make videos
Just more money to stick up my nose

He’s not afraid to lie
Greed is the reason why

My wife’s recovering from coke
I buy it for my family but I’ll never go broke
People come for help they say
You take their money and you send them away

I have a few billion not much to me
I need a lot more thanks to my greed
Have fourteen houses and fifteen cars
Lay back in my mansion and watch people starve

He’s not afraid to lie
Greed is the reason why!


12. KILL THE KING

Danger, danger
The Queen’s about to kill
A stranger, stranger
Life’s about to spill

Oh no
Move away from harm
I need a spell, a charm

Fly like the wind
And the pawn will be gone
Speed on and on

Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king
Strike him down

Power, power
Happens every day
Power, devour
All along the way

Oh no
Move away from harm
I need a spell, a charm

Fly like the wind
And the pawn will be gone
Speed on and on

Kill the king!

Treason, treason
The specter looms again
Treason, reason
The realm is safe and then

Oh no
Move away from harm
I need a spell, a charm

Fly like the rainbow
And the pawn will be gone
Speed on and on

Kill the king
Strike him down
Kill the king
Got to take his crown

Kill the king!


13. FALSE INCARNATION

Contemplating death, untimely near
It’s not your death developing your fear
Deteriorating state, hope is lost
Your greed for life is beyond the cost
Hoping for advancement, an invention, a cure
Because of your disease your intentions are unpure

Corrupted by moral values
Spoiled by common wealth
In your race for fortune
You forgot to regard your health

Self-pity, shame to blame
Existence transferred to an alternate frame
Cellular osmosis, frozen to paralysis
Suspending the result of the ultimate nemesis
Essence drained, exchanged for synthetics
Drastic measures to alter genetics

No reincarnation
Eternal hibernation
False incarnation
Opaque destination

Catatonic pleasure
Anti-fluids numb the pain
Robbing yourself of death
What did you expect to gain?

Frozen fate, all thoughts cease
Resisting the afterlife for nothing at all
Truth distorted, path into darkness
Cannot see what caused your fall
Lying dormant, your seed of faith
Has grown into a nasty vine
Final chapter in the book of life
Forever darkness stops the time

Delaying natural death
For a fear of what’s beyond
Afraid to take that final step
To the place where you belong!

What you believed before?
Do you anymore?
Or do you want to see immortality?

Looking out from the inside to a place you cannot see
Frozen in dark solitude yearning to be free
No one has awakened you
A false destiny

No reincarnation
Eternal hibernation
False incarnation
Opaque destination

False incarnation!


14. HYPOTHERMIA

Walking lost in the snow
Can’t decide which way to go
Feel the chill take control
As the avalanche starts to flow
See your life before your eyes
No one there to hear your cries
Feel the ground start to shake
As you lose all your fate

Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow

Hypothermia in your brain
As you panic you go insane
Blood’s pumping very slow
‘Cause you fight, the deeper you go
Life you know starts to slip
As you lose reality’s grip
Take a breath and make it last
As your dreaming of your past

Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow

Try to move, have no power
It’s getting colder by the hour
Wishing you were in your bed
There’s no feeling in your head
Death you meet face to face
Hypothermia takes its place
Better kiss your life goodbye
Tears are freezing as you cry

Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow

Froze to death
For all to see
Souls now trapped
Never to be free

Walking lost in the snow
Can’t decide which way to go
Feel the chill take control
As the avalanche starts to flow
See your life before your eyes
No one there to hear your cries
Feel the ground start to shake
As you lose all your fate

Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow

Tell you that there is no death more slow!


15. DOMINATION

I am the Mastermind!

There’ll be no talking back
Gonna tell you all what to do

Strip you of your dignity
They’re gonna beat your body black and blue

Gotta get away
Make for the little door

Stuck inside a metal cage
It’s all inside your head

Domination!
Demons in the skies
Domination!
The look that’s in your eyes
Domination!
Torturing your mind
Domination!
You’re running out of time

What d’you do?
Nothing good to eat

Certain demonic degradation
Can’t stand the heat

You gotta get away
Many friends already dead

Stuck inside a metal cage
It’s all inside your head

Domination!
Demons in the skies
Domination!
The look that’s in your eyes
Domination!
Torturing your mind
Domination!
You’re running out of time

Domination!
Demons in the skies
Domination!
The look that’s in your eyes
Domination!
Torturing your mind
Domination!
You’re running out of time

Domination!
Domination!
Domination!
Domination!
You’re running out of time

And it’s all inside your mind!
