1. THE GRIEVING KING

(Instrumental)


2. INNER DEMONS

Lying on the floor
Having empty thoughts
Echoes of the past
What once was

Searching for a haven
A life unfulfilled
Every day wasted
Darkness covers me

Crossroads of my life
Prospects looking bleak
This maze unforgiving
No exit I see

Inner demons calling
Torment of the mind
Haunted life in stasis
Searching for a goal

Searching for a haven
A life unfulfilled
Every day wasted
Darkness covers me

Crossroads of my life
Prospects looking bleak
This maze unforgiving
No exit I see

Danger
Imminent danger
The walls are closing
The walls are closing in

Darkness
Engulfed by darkness
Nothing but darkness
And it covers me

No way out
No way out

Trapped in this maze
Where no light can get in
Under this veil
Trying to find my way

Leaves move away
And the branches fly out
I see a light
I just have to step out

Searching for a haven
A life unfulfilled
Every day wasted
Darkness covers me

Crossroads of my life
Prospects looking bleak
This maze unforgiving
No exit I see


3. DREADING THE LIGHT

It was a stormy night
I found you on the ground
The sight of this blood
I’m still dreading the night

This is a nightmare
Dealing with the loss of a loved one
Light the funeral pyres
May your soul rest in the halls up high

This is a nightmare
Dealing with the loss of a loved one
Light the funeral pyres
May your soul rest in the halls up high

Another stormy night
Without you by my side
Staring at your grave
My tears are washed away

This is a nightmare
Dealing with the loss of a loved one
Light the funeral pyres
May your soul rest in the halls up high

This is a nightmare
Dealing with the loss of a loved one
Light the funeral pyres
May your soul rest in the halls up high

Life is fading, where it goes?
Life is fleeting, your time is gone
Is there a great beyond?
Or are we food for worms?

This is a nightmare
Dealing with the loss of a loved one
Light the funeral pyres
May your soul rest in the halls up high

This is a nightmare
Dealing with the loss of a loved one
Light the funeral pyres
May your soul rest in the halls up high


4. WASTELAND OF MY DREAMS

Standing on the bridge’s edge
Feeling the knife’s edge

Staring at my bloody hands
Wondering what have I done

My past actions leave me dreading
For the most abhorrent ending
Death is not what I’m expecting
It’s living as an empty casing

Wasteland of my dreams
Transforming me
Shattering my hopes
How will I live?

Lacking any hope
No will to live
A life without dreams
Is no life to live

Wasteland of my dreams
Transforming me
Shattering my hopes
How will I live?

Lacking any hope
No will to live
A life without dreams
Is no life to live

Did I take a life tonight?
Or is this my own blood?

My past actions leave me dreading
For the most abhorrent ending
Death is not what I’m expecting
It’s living as an empty casing

Wasteland of my dreams
Transforming me
Shattering my hopes
How will I live?

Lacking any hope
No will to live
A life without dreams
Is no life to live

Wasteland of my dreams
Transforming me
Shattering my hopes
How will I live?

Lacking any hope
No will to live
A life without dreams
Is no life to live

Does this blood even exist?
Or is my mind playing tricks?

Can I kill what is my own?
Will I ever again be whole?
No dreams left, my heart’s a hole

This night is coming back to me
It’s the night I killed my dreams

My past actions leave me dreading
For the most abhorrent ending
Death is not what I’m expecting
It’s living as an empty casing

Wasteland of my dreams
Transforming me
Shattering my hopes
How will I live?

Lacking any hope
No will to live
A life without dreams
Is no life to live

Wasteland of my dreams
Transforming me
Shattering my hopes
How will I live?

Lacking any hope
No will to live
A life without dreams
Is no life to live

No dreams...


5. ENDLESS WHISPERS

Who plans our downfall?
Who cherishes our loss?
The first disciple
The one who lost control

The endless whispers
They never stop
His anger, his malice
He can’t control

Who plans our downfall?
Who cherishes our loss?
The first disciple
The one who lost control

Our minds the realm
He always sought
His searing hatred
Exerts control

Who plans our downfall?
Who cherishes our loss?
The first disciple
The one who lost control

Iblis, the dark one
His whispers rule our minds
Our thoughts are darkened
Consumed by his desires

Iblis, the dark one
He who was cast aside
His endless hatred
Is seeping in our hearts

Iblis, the dark one
His whispers rule our minds
Our thoughts are darkened
Consumed by his desires

Iblis, the dark one
He who was cast aside
His endless hatred
Is seeping in our hearts

He who refused to bow to man
He, the unbowed, was cast aside

The fires of Iblis


6. REMEMBRANCE

Memories of a past long gone
Haunting me as they linger on
Keepsakes of a past forlorn
Keeping me from moving on

Scars from all the battles
I’ve fought throughout my life
I’m wearing them with pride
As relics of my past

Scars from all the battles
I’ve fought throughout my life
I’m wearing them with pride
Reminding me my past

Etched on me my past scars
Mapping out what I have done
Showing me a path ahead
A way to live without regrets

Scars from all the battles
I’ve fought throughout my life
I’m wearing them with pride
As relics of my past

Scars from all the battles
I’ve fought throughout my life
I’m wearing them with pride
Reminding me my past

Never forget
Never regret

Learning from the past
Is the only way to move on

Never forget the tears you’ve shed
Scars that left marks on your heart
Never regret choices you’ve made
They’re the light that shines on your path

Never forget the tears you’ve shed
Scars that left marks on your heart
Never regret choices you’ve made
They’re the light that shines on your path

Live your life without regrets
Remember your past


7. WHEN DARKNESS FALLS

Darkness falls upon me
Sooner than I imagined
Claiming my soul
Suffering and pain
Into the endless void
In the abyss of the unknown
Don’t know what to face
Vengeance, wrath or hate

It tells me that I am the chosen one
To face my dark destiny
In this shroud of nothingness
I meet my death

The arduous road
Of my existence

This dark path
A shroud of fate
A shroud of lies
Engulfs my soul
I cannot breathe

My life in ruins
My soul extinguished
My spirit broken
My fate is sealed

My life in ruins
My soul extinguished
My spirit broken
My fate is sealed

8. THE DEATHBRINGER

I bring the darkness and the fire
The eternal cycle of life
I am the bringer of the light
The antithesis inside

Visions of death surround me
Dead bodies on the floor
The stench of rot so strong
Blood splatters on the walls
On this blood-red dawn

Murder is my sacred duty
As they die they are reborn

Murder is my sacred duty
As they die they are reborn

I bring the darkness and the fire
The eternal cycle of life

Visions of death surround me
Dead bodies on the floor
The stench of rot so strong
Blood splatters on the walls
On this blood-red dawn

Tethered to the Wheel of Life
Are the souls of the unborn

Corpses on the floor
Death is at my door
Reaping what they sow
Berath’s will be done

A horrid situation
We’re close to our damnation
A final temptation
Beyond our comprehension
A total transformation
A new start in this dimension
Death is our salvation
The Wheel of domination

I am the bringer of the light
The antithesis inside

Visions of death surround me
Dead bodies on the floor
The stench of rot so strong
Blood splatters on the walls
On this blood-red dawn

Murder is my sacred duty
As they die they are reborn
Tethered to the Wheel of Life
Are the souls of the unborn

Murder is my sacred duty
As they die they are reborn
Tethered to the Wheel of Life
Are the souls of the unborn

Murder is my sacred duty
As they die they are reborn
Tethered to the Wheel of Life
Are the souls of the unborn

Murder is my sacred duty
As they die they are reborn
Tethered to the Wheel of Life
Are the souls of the unborn


9. THE MINSTREL OF THE ICY KEEP

Far beyond time
Lies the land of ice
A majestic world
Standing proud and tall

In this icy world
Beneath the polar sheets
There exists a keep
Hiding secrets within

Far beyond time
Lies the land of ice
A majestic world
Standing proud and tall

In this icy world
Beneath the polar sheets
There exists a keep
Hiding secrets within

The minstrel sings
A song of grief
To appease the beast
That lies beneath
The ground stirs
From the monster’s hiss
If it’s unleashed
Death is what it will bring

Ancient secrets hidden
In a corridor deep
In an ancient vault residing
The minstrel of the keep
Ancient secrets hidden
A vault beneath the ice
The minstrel keeping hidden
The secrets of the past

The minstrel sings
A song of grief
To appease the beast
That lies beneath
The ground stirs
From the monster’s hiss
If it’s unleashed
Death is what it will bring
