1. SADNESS & HESITATION

In soothing happiness I sleep
In screaming loneliness I wake
Torment and suffering I bare
Torment and suffering I'll share

With no hope my life's degrading
With no hope I see my candle fading
I place my hands and I call your name
Let me be cleansed of this mind game

Panic and depression, falls hard on my weak mind
I see my end is close, sadness and hesitation

Once forgotten always lost
Trapped inside I pay the cost
My sick thoughts I tried to share
No one would listen non would care

With no hope my life's degrading
With no hope I see my candle fading
I place my hands and I call your name
Let me be cleansed of this mind game

Panic and depression, falls hard on my weak mind
I see my end is close, sadness and hesitation

With no hope my life's degrading
My candle's fading
And I call your name

Panic and depression, falls hard on my weak mind
I see my end is close, sadness and hesitation


2. FACELESS

Go on, close the door
Leave me alone again
Hide the sun, bring me darkness
Let the walls come swallow me

I breathe in deep and taste my senses
For one last time, I know I'll be free
I breathe in deep, vigilant senses
I'm not enslaved, I'll fly again in my dreams

Feeling sad and blue and lost and cold
Counting hours, building towers, watch them all collapse

I breathe in deep and taste my senses
For one last time, I know I'll be free
I breathe in deep, vigilant senses
I'm not enslaved, I'll fly again in my dreams

All the cowards let's step up and speak our minds, will you listen?
Be the judge and face the fact.
How you and me are both to blame

My spirit fades, my need remains untouched
My night has come, and it will be my last

I breathe in deep and taste my senses
For one last time, I know I'll be free
I breathe in deep, vigilant senses
I'm not enslaved, I'll fly again in my dreams

I breathe in deep and taste my senses
For one last time, I know I'll be free
I breathe in deep, vigilant senses
I'm not enslaved, I'll fly again in my dreams


3. DOORMACHT (DER APOKALYPTISCHE UNTERGANG)

I'm staring at this blindness
With vacant eyes
A sheep that's lost in darkness
Watching death smile
I'm standing here in silence
All out of love
My soul it lives in sadness
So does my heart

There's no hope
Only death

I'm crying here on holy ground
Where is my faith?
I'm looking for a sacred earth
Can I be saved?
I'm breathing in ruefulness
My final breath
I'm kneeling here with nothing left
No place to hide

There's no hope
Only death


4. THE CELEPHAIS CURSE

Fear the celephais curse

Once again I had a dream
It haunted me since I was a child
And now the dream
The dream is true

Running from a shadow of something known
To nightmares only
Seeking a hideout down the steps of sleep
My fate is calling me
Back to my throne
To take control

Fear the celephais curse

My mind has colored my body and now I can see
I've haunted myself for I'm a curse and your misery
My mind has colored my body and now I can see
I've haunted myself for I'm a curse and your misery

So I drink and try to think
Hope is she
Still there's the question
That lies within

Slowly I drift into seas of lies
And you're ignoring
No more can I hold back the pain inside
My anger's calling me
To take control
And fight to claim my throne

Fear the celephais curse

My mind has colored my body and now I can see
I've haunted myself for I'm a curse and your misery
My mind has colored my body and now I can see
I've haunted myself for I'm a curse and your misery

Fear the celephais curse

My mind has colored my body and now I can see
I've haunted myself for I'm a curse and your misery
My mind has colored my body and now I can see
I've haunted myself for I'm a curse and your misery


5. THE END IS WRITTEN

The sin is cast I must repent
The trip is on there's no return
The boat I'm in leads to my death
The devil knows the path to hell

This river is my final glimpse
Of my own life's apocalypse
Beyond the dreams that haunt my life
I now look back just like Lot's wife

Demon rides my insides shatter
There's no sense but endless suffer

Catastrophe, atrocity
They will be now my destiny
I've lived my life baptized in sin
Hear now the angles sing my keen

The fear of pain I must expel
For pain itself is son of hell
Consumed by fire in plains obscure
My wretched soul will not endure

Demon rides my insides shatter
There's no sense but endless suffer
Deeds and sins are not forgiven
This is hell, the end is written

Before the end I will not crawl
Last time I'll rise before my fall
And witnessing my final spring
With thirsting lips to you I sing

Demon rides my insides shatter
There's no sense but endless suffer
Deeds and sins are not forgiven
This is hell, the end is written

Demon rides my insides shatter
There's no sense but endless suffer
Deeds and sins are not forgiven
This is hell, the end is written


6. EMISSARY OF VENGEANCE

Streets are crowded around midnight
And a riot is close at sight
People yearning hoping to find
Absolution
I will lead you to raw power
That no priest and no devil know
Take your life in your hands again
Revolution

I am the glory, the sun and the water
Fighting oppression I save you from slaughter
For your depression I have the answer
I raise rebellion and I cure this cancer

They say fortune favors the brave
Follow me and this world we can save
It is never too late to act
Just remember
Where swords fail, let words prevail
Ink is fire and quill will not fail
I claim the right to raise the mob
Independent

I am the glory, the sun and the water
Fighting oppression I save you from slaughter
For your depression I have the answer
I raise rebellion and I cure this cancer

I am the glory, the sun and the water
Fighting oppression I save you from slaughter
For your depression I have the answer
I raise rebellion and I cure this cancer


7. HANGING PUPPET

Oh God my hear
It is time to play my part
Is this my choice
Or a hanging puppet's voice?

To pray or to betray
When your alter ego says
Now is your chance
To be save or to be dust

Life after life
The vision will still be the same
We shall not decline
Though the end may come in sight
The sun is changing side
Is it evil or divine?
We will never know
'Cause he always has to go

I'm living on a stage
My fate will never change
The script that I must play
Is my laughter and my pain

My soul falls apart
As the crowd applauds and laughs
And the tears I hold inside
Are the strings that hold me tight

Life after life
The vision will still be the same
We shall not decline
Though the end may come in sight
The sun is changing side
Is it evil or divine?
We will never know
'Cause he always has to go

A scream of desperation
A cry of loneliness
Have wakened all my visions
Regained my consciousness
As my eyes open
I watch the shadow leave
And realize what power
Inside of me I keep

Oh God my heart
It is time again to play my part
Is this my choice
Or a hanging puppet's voice?

Life after life
The vision will still be the same
We shall not decline
Though the end may come in sight
The sun is changing side
Is it evil or divine?
We will never know
'Cause he always has to go


8. SINS

The world is ending, my life's transcending
Life I failed, Death I prevail
My fate has planned it and I've descended
Black are the stars, hide the light
...and there's no hope left in the night

The sun is gone and hope is dead
Forevermore my dreams have set
Death's hordes are here by my side
I'm stronger now, I feel alive

Feeling lost, I am a prey
So go on claim my soul today
Demonic tides now bring my doom
I leave you now in solitude

I am death, a bad sign in the sky
Misery, nemesis, darkened spirits summon me
I creep into the world, spreading hate against all wisdom
Hell is now my home
The demon's altar is now my throne

I will feast on the sins of mankind
And I'll rejoice in watching you burn
I will feast on the sins of mankind
I will condemn you all to hell

I'll release the demons and fiends
With blood in their hands they'll reap the seeds that you have sown
My path is drawn and I ride on, until all your hearts lie bleeding
I am the devil's spawn
And in my wake your death is born

I will feast on the sins of mankind
And I'll rejoice in watching you burn
I will feast on the sins of mankind
I will condemn you all

Forever to weep, forever to bleed
Forever to hide, forever to fear

I will feast on the sins of mankind
And I'll rejoice in watching you burn
I will feast on the sins of mankind
I will condemn you all to hell

I will feast on the sins of mankind
And I'll rejoice in watching you burn
I will feast on the sins of mankind
I will condemn you all to hell
