1. PERCEVAL

'We are brothers, Perceval,
Your brethren would not lead you wrong.
All that is lost will be restored.
All that is dead will live again'

-The Book of The Grail-

The trees were in bloom and leaves in blossom
The crooning birds were welcoming the dawn
Forsaken Forest rising from night’s bottom
Was welcoming Widow’s Lady only son

Fierce racket cracks twitter
Among the trees steel glitters
Boy freezes in silence
His javelins ripe for violence

Sparkling mail and shining shields
Helmets, spears he’d never seen
White and red, blue and gold
“These are Angels as my mother told!”

Rise again - the sword of the Lake
The King and Land are one
It’s the secret of the Grail

He rides on the dragon's breath
To the realms where no man dares
To go.

A quest to find what we once lost.

To the castle of the Grail
Where the Wounded King awaits
the knight.
It's the tale of Perceval.

Woods fell into ruin, sweet wine turned dry
Rich fronds and petals wither, slowly cower
All feathered creatures are no more in the sky
Only the grail can restore the leaf and flower

For ten years and one day
From his path he did not stray
To the ends of within
Pursuance of the land of dreams

Many pleasures, cups to drink
Take him quickly to the tree!
Never falter, tame the pain!
You’re the last of us, try again!

Rise again - the sword of the Lake
The King and Land are one
It’s the secret of the Grail

He rides on the dragon's breath
To the realms where no man dares
To go.
A quest to find what we once lost.

To the castle of the Grail
Where the Wounded King awaits
the knight.
It's the tale of Perceval.


2. ANUBIS (ON THE ONYX THRONE OF DEATH)

Death is before me today
Like health to the sick
Death is before me today
Like the odor of myrrh

The one who stands upon the mountain
The one who spreads the veil of doom

Anubis, Anubis!
You sit on the onyx throne of Death
Anubis, Anubis!
Find for us the trail of fate

Death is before me today
Like the sky when it clears
Death is before me today
Like the home that a man longs to see

The one who stands upon the mountain
The one who spreads the veil of doom

Anubis, Anubis!
You sit on the onyx throne of Death
Anubis, Anubis!
Find for us the trail of fate

Book of the Dead invocations:

I have dug up the sky, I have hacked up the horizon,
I have traversed the earth to its furthest realms
I have taken possession of the spirits of the great ones
Because I am the one who equips a myriad with his magic.
For I am a god, lord of the Netherworld,
I have given up those things which were established in the past,
I have planned appearance in glory.

Anubis, Anubis!
You sit on the onyx throne of Death
Anubis, Anubis!
Find for us the trail of fate

Anubis, Anubis!
Gatekeeper of the Great Beyond
Anubis, Anubis!
Lord of the sands please take me home...


3. THE PURITAN

“Pereat mundus, fiat iustitia!”

A wanderer, a landless man, but a friend to all - all in need
Toneless eyes under somber brows, so cold and deep - like fathoms of ice!

In the absence of light, darkness will prevail
In the shadow of my sword lies the Lord’s domain
In the absence of blade, chaos will remain
In the shadow of horns commination reigns

I'm the one who restrains the dark
I'm the one who strolls against evil
From the north to the south with doom in my heart
I'm the Puritan
Puritan!

Those eyes have looked at the sorcery in dark and naked lands
Horror born of the jungle gloom and death on pathless sands!

In the absence of light, darkness will prevail
In the shadow of my sword lies the Lord’s domain
In the absence of blade, chaos will remain
In the shadow of horns commination reigns

I'm the one who restrains the dark
I'm the one who strolls against evil
From the north to the south with doom in my heart
I'm the Puritan
Puritan!

In cold eyes still a vagrant gleam
So wayward, fanatic and blind
Like the proxy of Almighty One
He flits into the night!

I'm the one who restrains the dark
I'm the one who strolls against evil
From the north to the south with doom in my heart
I'm the Puritan


4. PALE LADY OF MERCY

“Omnia mors aequat”

I vex my heart in vain
Breath gives me no solace
Hourglass reversed again
Red torrent runs flawless

Pale coquette with lipless smile
Evading all those who seek Thee
I shuffle off this mortal coil
There’s nothing here for me!

Lady of Mercy
You never let down
Lady of Mercy
Terrestrial crown
Lady of Mercy
Mother of all
Wink at my catcall

Lady of Mercy
Your icy grip
Lady of Mercy
Puts us to sleep
Lady of Mercy
We all feed off Your breast
Your embrace is blessed

Inexorable soother of lust
I bow to Your wisdom
Indomitable leveler of cussed
I cannot defy Thy charisma

You approach with benign grin
I shook with elation
Final trek is to begin
I sigh with alleviation

Lady of Mercy
You never let down
Lady of Mercy
Terrestrial crown
Lady of Mercy
Mother of all
Wink at my catcall

Lady of Mercy
Your icy grip
Lady of Mercy
Puts us to sleep
Lady of Mercy
We all feed off Your breast
Your embrace is blessed

Lady of Mercy
You never let down
Lady of Mercy
Terrestrial crown
Lady of Mercy
Mother of all
Wink at my catcall

Lady of Mercy
Your icy grip
Lady of Mercy
Puts us to sleep
Lady of Mercy
We all feed off Your breast
Your embrace is blessed


5. TOWARDS THE END

“Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”

Darkness conceals the earth
The folk lies in a dream
But war of conscience is waging

Young khans strangle old kings
In an eternal scheme
And sword of Damocles keeps hanging

Towards the end we're heading
And there is no call spreading
To turn us back
To make a strain

False prophets of tomorrow
There's no one left to follow
Our days impend
Heaven forfend!

The rabble will never understand
The mighty soul of the lord
Thus whip must be hissing

His foresight is trivialized by the mob
Thus prison, exile and rope
The hangman and his sneering

Towards the end we're heading
And there is no call spreading
To turn us back
To make a strain

False prophets of tomorrow
There's no one left to follow
Our days impend
Heaven forfend!

For the people it’s all the same
Which one is their harasser
For the people are deaf and blind
So crush’em! Crush’em! Crush’em!

Towards the end we're heading
And there is no call spreading
To turn us back
To make a strain

False prophets of tomorrow
There's no one left to follow
Our days impend
Heaven forfend!


6. MYSTIFICATION (MANILLA ROAD COVER)

Through the winds of time
A poet found The Key
To The Elder Rhyme
Some call the song mystic

With tales of gore
And terror in the night
His words, no more,
Have kept me mystified

[Chorus]

An art revealed to no one
Some say insanity
A lesson from The Baron
Master of mystery
I'm mystified

Shadows of his thoughts
Bring horror to the mind
Legions of the lost
Brought forth by his design

Morbid tales unfold
That leave thee terrified
Poetry of old
To keep thee mystified

[Chorus]

Macabre words of fear
Created in the night
Death always so near
Manifesting fright

In his work I've seen
A strange and mystic light
His life-long dream
Was to mystify

[Chorus]

Decadence and suffering
Devils in the bellfry
Art of Black Arts
Summoned by his rhyme

Dark and evil madness
Induced by his passion
For mystification
Of the mind, mystify

[Chorus]
