1. GOTHIC ANTHEM

We couldn't realise how far
They would go this time
An unforeseen future is
What we must deny
It doesn't matter if it's
Coming the right way out
When we are sinking to
The bottom line
My mind is slipping
My mind is slipping away
And I'm left alone in shame

I'm coming
I'm coming alone
Last man standing in
The fields of scorn.
So come on

My mind is slipping
My mind is slipping away
And I'm left alone in shame

I'm coming
I'm coming alone
I'm burning
Until I'm gone

Last man standing in
The fields of scorn
Last man standing in
The fields of scorn
Last man standing in
The fields I was born
So come on


2. ANGEL

These wings won't learn to rise
In the pale and wicked light beneath the skies
Broken, blinded, you are paralysed
You belong to them who believe they'll be denied

Take my hand just to be my love
The time has come to rise above
The angel now has broken wings
And something to obtain
The day the sun just went away

You're shivering in the dark
When you feel it's coming closer every time
Now the mentor is calling you
Can't you see the flames beyond your fading eyes

Take my hand just to be my love
Be my love just to be the one


3. THE HOLY ONE

Another day another
Face it didn't mean
Anything
It shouldn't happen
This way
Could you neglect to
Show respect and price
Your advice you give
Our kingdom a name

But now you started
The fire maybe
It cannot lead to no good
And now it doesn't seem
Right that we shall
Obey well can't you feel
It too

It's the time it's the place
It's the way we are made
But you never tried to be
The holy one
You will not feel how good
It tastes
This is here this is now
It's the way we go blind
But you will never
Be the right for the
If lack of values
Leads to waste

The burning wheel is rolling faster
I know I feel it's coming now
´cause any day you will have to see it
Wake up it's real and it's loud


4. PRAY

They tried to tell you not to listen
They tried to make you understand
They wanted you to be like the masses
They wanted you to be an average man

But now the dark has got you taken
And now the light no longer exists
You feel the pain is growing stronger
Now what you need is an exorcist

I pray for you
For you are not the same
I pray for you
Tomorrow is your day

They tried to tell you not to listen
They tried to make you understand
They wanted you to be like the masses
But now the darkness has changed your plans

You have become the man they fear now
You have been out there in the mist
You feel the pain is growing stronger
Now what you need is an exorcist


5. THE POSSESSION

(Instrumental)


6. DEVIL

Hey Devil what is your plan today
I didn't know that it would be like this
Hey Devil is it never enough for you
Or won't you quit until I'm on my knees

You make it really hurt when everything is doomed
And there's no salvation
I knew a man who lived two thousand years on your lies

Meet the Devil living on the edge of any pain
I didn't know it felt so good to hurt you
The fear is growing stronger
Though you're only half way through the game
When love is dead I'll call for you
The devil

Hey Devil am I the chosen one
`Cause if I am I think I know the truth
Hey would you enjoy if fanatics won
Without religion you would be no use


7. SHADOWS OF EVIL SINS

In the shadows of evil
Sins cries a little child
She is drawing forbidden things
From the dark side of her mind
She belongs to a different world
A world that is filled with love
Nothing could ever make her sleep
`Cause soon she will have to go
Away

In the shadows of evil
Sins cries a little child
She is waiting for the magic strings

When will they take
Her to the other side

They told her not to be afraid
Of the beasts under her bed
They have become her only friends
Living inside of her head

In the shadows of evil
Sins cries a little child

She is dreaming of her world
Yet still her eyes are open wide

She would dive into the open arms
Of her mentor with the cane
Although she knows she will leave anyway
This will neither be the way


8. HATRED

Force out the demons inside
Wake up the evilness
A blood streaming bride
You're standing at the gates of fear
Let yourself crucify
In time for the scare

What if I could be your God
What if I could steal your soul
So come on and let me know
Let me know when you're alone

Bring out the beast in your mind
You are abandoned now
Left here to die
I am your eyes ´cause you're blind
And when you're waking up

Your dream is alive


9. MARCH OF THE DEAD

Could it be that you're feeling down again
Could it be that you're crawling faster
Can you bring back the dead
You are seeing the visions from the past
You are here to join us soon
And make it forever last

We are so beautiful
We are so cold
One day you'll join us
Or you will forever long

Could it be that wanna go before
Could it be that you love the thought
Of not being anymore
If you dare come and watch the sight
Of a crowd immortalised
Marching in the night


10. WISH

I've been away for a while now
I have been gone in myself
Time has deranged my emotions
And I, I have fought against my hell

Do you wish to be invincible
Do you wish to rule the world
Long before you even think of this
You must learn to rule yourself

I've been afraid of the outside
I am so safe here alone
Life has become my own cell now
Before I leave I just want you to know


11. POST LODIUM

We are the ones and now we have
Opened your eyes to see the dark
We are the ones and when we are
Gone we remain unknown for some

But you know by then
It's too late to mend
