1. GHOSTS OF THE PAST

No sleep tonight, the fear of dawn keeps me awake at night, in black midnight
No peace of mind, and Hypnos denied
I’m sinking to the void, unending fall

Guardian of dusk please guide my way
Help to see the light of day

Unworldly chill, the face of death is staring in my eyes
Collapsing life
The morning of my end
My ultimate finale, a requiem for my doom
A threnody of madness

Guardian of dusk please guide my way
Help me to see the light of day

A new dawn? Free from the ghosts of the past
A new hope? Can I be adorn again?
A new dawn? Free from the ghosts of the past
A new hope? Can I be free safe from harm?

I say a prayer, father in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name, bless me redeemer
A bird of white, sits by my window,
Delivers me from death, with his eerie singing

I stand before you on this night
Will you deliver from freight?

A new dawn? Free from the ghosts of the past
A new hope? Can I be adorn again?
A new dawn? Free from the ghosts of the past
A new hope? Can I be free safe from harm?


2. LUCID PLAINS OF RA

On solar ships he rides bringer of light, the burning falcon's path to eternal life
Creator of mankind of earth and sky he spoke the name of truth cried tears of life.

Woe, to him who fights the night, for selfish beings of spite

Oh betrayed by the spawn of his soul
The fates of creators unfold
We claimed all the plains of his light
And banished him into the night

Bestowed the gift of life, to a lesser kind, his deeds became the right of fiends so blind
The cradle of man's might, false hope and pride, the ape became a god, the god a lie

Woe, to him who fights the night, for selfish beings of spite

Oh betrayed by the spawn of his soul
The fates of creators unfold
We claimed all the plains of his light
And banished him into the night

In terror and in flight the soul it cries, a savior it must seek, in shadows hides
The path of Ra in shame it strives to find, the name is changed alas the lie abides

Woe, to him who fights the night, for selfish beings of spite

Oh betrayed by the spawn of his soul
The fates of creators unfold
We claimed all the plains of his light
And banished him wondering why
Is man as a being so cruel?
To make gods and use as a tool
To walk in the plains of his light
Yet dwell endlessly in the night


3. MY BANE

Been a stranger since I’ve been alive, faces and pictures in vain
Drawing my madness upon a canvas of pain
My body is a vessel of my sin
Rising, falling, slashed I bleed

Dressed in blood, a martyr of fate, crucified and betrayed
Drowning the fear of death, as my panic reigns
My tears will always fill my eyes like rain
No salvation waits for me

Drive me insane in the name of God
Feed my agony with blame
I’m no longer in need of this love
I break free from all the pain

Drive me insane in the name of God
Feed my agony with blame
I’m no longer in need of this love
I break free from all the pain

Born in my name, hatred and pain
Despair and joy taste the same

Coexisting and burning as one
Damned deformed and dismayed

As I age, my end is at hand, the angel of mercy awaits
Casting his shadow upon my worn face
Will death lead to salvation or damnation?
One step closer to my bane

Drive me insane in the name of God
Feed my agony with blame
I’m no longer in need of this love
I break free from all the pain

Drive me insane in the name of God
Feed my agony with blame
I’m no longer in need of this life
I break free from all the pain


4. ONE WITH PAIN

Heir of the twilight, master of worlds
Bringer of evil, cursed by the Gods
Born of a sinner, he will arise
Spreading confusion, on this bitter night

Aggressive black
A grim beast on my back
Controls and sickens my mind
Sign of all malice
The thrill of the kill
Lunatic secrets unfold

I am one with my hate
I will never be tamed
I am one with my hate
I will never be tamed
There’s no hope left for me to be proclaimed

Bygone are times when I felt so much joy
Long lost since I was a boy
I’ve tasted evil, I’ve been cursed, I’ve been killed
Hiding, condemned but reborn

I am one with my pain
Long foreseen is my fate
I am one with my pain
Long foreseen is my fate

You’ll hear my screams, but you won’t see me cry, you’ll see me laugh yet I will no longer lie
Bury me deep, in a tomb sealed with nails and as death prevails, I will no longer feel shame

I would be nice but then I can’t be more
This world’s a bitter place, through the eyes of a fool
Yet change is constant and in vain
Into the mouth of guilt and sadness to be conformed

You’ll hear my screams, but you won’t see me cry, you’ll see me laugh, yet I, will no longer live
Bury me deep, in a tomb sealed with nails and as death prevails, I will feel no longer shame

Strayed deceiver of life
Stranded deceiver of light


5. GUARDIAN WITHIN

An endless maze, a black veil of death
Restraints our minds
We are blind

Our spirits laugh as we
In sadness are rejoicing
Each breath we take, could be our last
Our skin is decomposing

Let us pretend, it’s what we always do
Let’s play the game of faith
With smiling faces so sad and lost
Our anger we sustain

Angel within, free me from sin, lead me on
Sign of relief, tranquility and calm nights

Our Golgotha we climb
Bare the cross one more time
Even thorns can shine
We will share the bread and taste the wine

How many times, within a day
We wear a smile upon our face
Hoping one day we’ll feel the love
Of warm and soft embrace

Angel within, free me from sin, lead me on
Sign of relief, tranquility and calm nights

Our Golgotha we climb
Bare the cross one more time
Even thorns can shine
We will share the bread and taste the wine

Angel within, free me from sin, lead me on
Sign of relief, tranquility and calm nights

Our Golgotha we climb
Bare the cross one more time
Even thorns can shine
We will share the bread and taste the wine


6. VISIONS AND CREATURES OF IMAGINATION

Sleeping in a tomb, among the dead
Naked and gruesome they stand
Kept under guard with chains in their hands
Contaminating the men
Tortured by sin, in a psilocin dream
Deranged, condemned, gone insane from sin within

Demons possessing, tormented souls
Unclean and evil, will you be gone?
To the pigs who drowned in a lake
They are the Demons of Gerasenes
Hiding behind your most intimate fear
Making your sense disappear

In darkness they descend, tormenting sunrise
They are in every man, who lives in vain
Visions and creatures of imagination
So you just close your eyes and look away now

Servants of hell, spawns of the dead
Whispering secrets of death
With foul tongues and desperate songs
They are corrupting the land
Fiery eyes ambiguous lies
Flying on wings of the damned, lunacy, obscenity

As Behemoth once was tamed by God
We’ll cast the demons out of our minds
Don’t trust your eyes they’re deceivers of night
Come out of darkness and into the light
Conjure the demons from inside your head
Or you’d be better off dead

In darkness they descend, tormenting sunrise
They are in every man, who lives in vain
Visions and creatures of imagination
You just close your eyes they’ll go away now

In darkness they descend, tormenting sunrise
They are in every man, who lives in vain
Visions and creatures of imagination
You just close your eyes they’ll go away now


7. TRINITY OF FATES

Underneath the endless skies
Through the ancient halls of time
Lurking in the dim of moonlight
Born out of the womb of night

No one is above their trial
Nor the vicious hate of Gods
Standing by the newborn's bedside
For they plan its fate to hold

Consuming endlessly, suffocatingly
Weird Sisters hunt to find and to keep
Abject at sight, offsprings of Night
Spinning and measuring the thread of life
Not of this world? Tale to be told?
Mythical entities of stories untold?
Adamant (at) fate, chanting prayers in vain
Sucking and reaping till nothing remains

Sisters of Keres,
Nemesis and Death
Weighting the souls on scales
Trinity of Fates

Make your last amends say your goodbyes
Save in hand a pair of dimes
Whether you were a king or a slave
In the book of Fates you're last in line

Consuming endlessly, suffocatingly
Weird Sisters hunt to find and to keep
Abject at sight, offsprings of Night
Spinning and measuring the thread of life
Not of this world? Tale to be told?
Mythical entities of stories untold?
Adamant (at) fate, chanting prayers in vain
Sucking and reaping till nothing remains


8. A TASTE OF ABSINTHE

The spirit of night calls me
Just like a whim that haunts me
I am not done, I must consume my ego
I am a universal laborer of thought
I tremble of being
Over the clouds I spread my wings
To higher heavens I reach out

Synchronized and then lost forever
Seek the truth, given in its presence
We will soak in the taste of absinthe and lighten our hearts, with green fairies

Beaten is the burden that holds me down
I shudder in vertigo, as I reach the battlefield
The thought of death heaves me higher
I bow to thee primordial
I’ll be strong and brave, you are my flame
I am he who eternally ascends

Synchronized and then lost forever
Seek the truth, given in its presence
We will soak in the taste of absinthe and lighten our hearts, with green fairies

I am hoping for nothing at all
My spirit sings to me
Lullabies for my downfall on earth
As I sink deeper and deeper and deeper

I am a God and matter itself
I feed of greed and still I starve
I am thunder and silence again
An eternal son of Man

We shall taste the bohemian absinthe, ameliorate the world, with acts of greatness
