1. DANCING WITH MAGIC

[CHAPTER SIX]

[The Queen In Red]
Eminent Son, I am the only one
Who can clean your throughts
Please suck blood from flowers
That I have thorned
My passion for love is near

But as I sucked
My world didn't come out clear
And the Queen In Red disappeared

I was bewitched by her songs
Songs of souls of old sorrow
The loss of a queen whose life was
Sucked out of a flower
Made the soul tears flow forever

In silence we walked out from the grave
To cross 5 new teardrops from
Creatures, beauties or what to become

I was bewitched by her songs
Songs of souls of old sorrow
The loss of a queen whose life was
Sucked out of a flower
Made the soul tears flow forever

[The Queen In Red]
Eminent Son, I am the only one
Who can clean your throughts
Please suck blood from flowers
That I have thorned
My passion for love is near


2. SOUL DAMNATION

[CHAPTER FIVE]

Survival was my only friend
To give life a chance was bigger than ever
So I went with fate

A gate of frozen tears in thorns
Marks the path to my sorrow
A soul-damnation created by witchcraft songs

[The Crystal Demon]
Do not let your eye betray
Cause what you will find is full of magic
Of a kind

What I saw in that grave
Was the most beautiful Dancing Queen
Like the day with tears in black
She was all dressed in red

Survival was my only friend
To give life a chance was bigger than ever
So I went with fate

A gate of frozen tears in thorns
Marks the path to my sorrow
A soul-damnation created by witchcraft songs


3. FINAL JOURNEY

[CHAPTER NINE]

Through my final journey
A woman stood in glade
In her hands she's holding an hourglass with
Sand I held from the Burning Maid

[The Woman In Glade]
Now glitter her ashes
Through your fingers
And let it fall into the glass
You got 9 minutes to do a kill
In the Final Palace

Thousand men have been killed
By the eyes I now will see
This royal shape of a man
Made me feel the presence of one night with the beast

[The Royal Shape]
Take place and listen up
You simply have to look me in the eyes
Without no glint of fear at all

If you do that, this heart in my hand
Will stop beating, and a life will fulfill the First 9
The First 9 demon-seed

As he looked me in the eyes
He saw the emperor-look
He fell to the ground
With a burning 9 around his eyes
Around his eyes

Through my final journey
A woman stood in glade
In her hands she's holding an hourglass with
Sand I held from the Burning Maid

[The Woman In Glade]
Now glitter her ashes
Through your fingers
And let it fall into the glass
You got 9 minutes to do a kill
In the Final Palace


4. THE BURNING MAID

[CHAPTER THREE]

I wear now her ashes as a chain
With 9 words of a spell
I wear now her ashes

In these woods alone
I went out to meet the Burning Maid
I went alone
But soon to guide a wolf will take its place

I wear now her ashes in this chain
With 9 words of a spell
I wear now her ashes

As I walked
The Burning Maid came out from the dark
Her eyes were sharp
As I slabbed her down to the ground

[The Burning Maid]
Oh my soul has finally come to an end
Use the 9 words in your chain

I wear now her ashes in this chain


5. ANCIENT EMPORER

[CHAPTER SEVEN]

Evolution was teasing my soul
Me and the wolf were climbing on clouds above
All of our victims did try to believe
That they were something
But they were just part of a dream

One Silver Angel stretch her arms out for us

[The Angel]
Welcome to the five endless Kingdoms Of Above
Each place in the Palace will give you a life
It's time to meet the Maker of your past dreams in life

[The Maker]
Where have you been
Where you sent me
[The Maker]
Are you real
Like life itself
[The Maker]
The Emperor's eyes you want
Are still left to see
Cool

[The Maker]
Where have you been
Where you sent me
[The Maker]
Are you real
Like life itself
[The Maker]
The Emperor's eyes you want
Are still left to see
Cool

At the end of the palace
The Emperor stood with giving eyes
His body was old, as it was shaking out of time
But his eyes he held in his hands
Were sharp and strong
Like they could kill any mortal man

[The Emperor]
I know you are searching for life
A life to give to demons in another time
Take mine, while it still breathes
You see, we ancient emperors never sleep

[The Maker]
Where have you been
Where you sent me
[The Maker]
Are you real
Like life itself
[The Maker]
The Emperor's eyes you want
Are still left to see
Cool


6. NEXT LIVING OBLIGING

[CHAPTER FOUR]

The dawn was soon to come
Her ashes kept me warm
From the howling windblows
8 victims left
To feed the 9 from death
Oh what a connexion

What about the wolf
Suspicious is its look
Like eyes in enemies
The chain around my neck
Was deadly for the next
Living obliging

As I strolled on these empty ways of dreams
Came 2 men and talked like they were kings
Without a single delay
I choked them in my chain

As I strolled on these empty ways of dreams
Came 2 men and talked like they were kings
Without a single delay
I choked them in my chain
What about the wolf
I said, what about the wolf

The dawn was soon to come
Her ashes kept me warm
From the howling windblows
6 victims left
To feed the 9 from death
Oh what a connexion


7. CONFRONT THE 9

[CHAPTER ONE]

By the end of the hall they creep
Just waiting to confront me
All these years I have believed what I have seen

Oh what they do I do not know
Time will pass or time will show
In this dead-white hall I'm passing cold

I walk the end of 9

White turns to black, I walk the end of 9
To confront by the end
Skin turns to blue, I walk the end of 9
Lurk, lurk, lurking they are

Eminent how they walk in silence
Is this the answer for my death
Slowly moving pictures grow within me
Is this the journey to my hell

Now I'm passing the first 9 demons
Ariez sign I grant you birth
Somehow I think it has a meaning
Their eyes are looking for answers

Eminent how I walk these halls

By the end of the hall they creep
Just waiting to confront me
All these years I have believed what I have seen

Oh what they do I do not know
Time will pass or time will show
In this dead-white hall I'm passing cold

Now confronting the book of 9
Victims is another time
A crystal ball with stories in rhymes


8. SECOND PALACE

[CHAPTER EIGHT]

Beauty, beast or what you are
Born we are from the Horned One
Second palace here we come
With the eyes of the Emperor

2 wargods were gathered at the entrance
Prepare for no forgiveness

One I stapped with thorns from the Queen In Red
The second one was ripped apart
With help from Wolf's claws
A sacrifice was made to the First 9
Only 2 victims left
To feed the 9 from death

Beauty, beast or what you are
Born we are by the Horned One
Second palace here we come
With the eyes of the Emperor


9. THE CRYSTAL DEMON

[CHAPTER TWO]

Help me crystal ball
I am he who inherit the force
The force to see me victims of fear
I believe my intention will now do

[The Crystal Demon]
Right at your side you have this ancient sword
Use it well and beware
Beware of fallacious men who
Think they walk among immortal gods
Kill them with your sword and say
You don't bring me down
You will be victim 9
You know the story too
So get on your knees and pray
From now on I'm your god

See what you serve is magic of a kind
Through your dreams you gave us birth
You gave us birth but only just for a while
Free us from the spell of 9

Confront the Burning Maid
And her Ancient Wolf
Slap her down to the ground in May
The Wolf will guide, the victim's hide
One part of our birth in rhyme

Confront the Burning Maid
And her Ancient Wolf
Slap her down to the ground in May
The Wolf will guide, the victim's hide
One part of our birth in rhyme


10. FINAL JOURNEY (Part II)

[EPILOGUE]

Still I wonder why this should be my final journey
Still one victim left to feed the 9 from death
But the Woman With The Hourglass told me
To follow the wolf for the last time

[this is where the track ends, but the booklet features the following additional text]

Somehow we walked the chapters backwards
And 9 minutes after we stood in the hal
Where all my dreams began
4 blue coloured demons were gathered by the entrance
they somehow sang or howled in rhymes
we all went through the hall
and there I met the 4 others of the Firt 9
they were carrying the one who was left behind
the one I didn't give life
he was heak and was soon to be dead
we all stopped in front of a throne made of glass
there the Crystal demon dwelled
he looked at me and sai

[The Crystal Demon]
Why didn't you use the 9 words in your chain?

I told him that I didn't know
The language in the Chain

[The Crystal Demon]
Too bad
If would have lead you to a journey
Where the last victim could give life
To my dying demon
I will send you back to where you belong
But my dying demon have to enter your body
And you will always be
One of my First 9 demons
I will always be able to control you
And contact you through your dreams
Until you understand
The 9 words in your chain
I guess you have to find them in your dreams
And when that day comes
There will be new journeys for you to go
Oh what they di I do not know
Time will pass or time will show
See you!
