DISC 1

1. INTRO/PASSION

(Instrumental)


2. THE LAST SUPPER

Well done my friend, thanks for the offer
We'll catch him at night to end this game
Take these thirty dimes in a coffer
Meet us at midnight, please hold the flame

Believe my days are counted
I feel the evil breath
The liar sits right by my side
His eyes are full of fear and pride

[Chorus:]
It's my last supper
After this I will die
It's my last supper
My own sacrifice

Welcome my friends
come celebrate with me
You are invited to take a place
Feat and drink as much as you will
Before they start the race of death

Believe my days are counted
I feel the evil breath
The liar sits right by my side
His eyes are full of fear and pride

[Chorus]

My end is near
Come pray with me
My fortune is over
But love can be

Whenever I die
Please let me fly
Remember me
And love can be

Believe my days are counted
I feel the evil breath
The liar sits right by my side
His eyes are full of fear and pride

[Chorus]


3. DESERT ROSE

Far away from the rising sun
I saw a shadow following me
Water glimmering before my eyes
But it's only the devil in disguise

I feel a hand caressing my head
I'm bonded by the fear of death
I'm getting up with my last power
In mortal agony I breath

[Chorus:]
Out of the light she's coming up
Serving me the golden cup
She's saving my soul and getting close
I see the eyes of my desert rose

A golden fortress in the middle of nowhere
Birds fly high through the desert sun
She's leading me behind the curtain
Where eagles dare and life has begun

[Chorus]

I'm waking up out of this dream
Wishing well it would become true
I remember well what she has told
Now I'm prepared for becoming old

[Chorus]


4. THE GRAVE DANCER

I see the people living just a lie
Searching for freedom until they die
They live as cowards and they die as fools
But after death is gone, I come to rule
I haunt the ruins of your wretched mind
You can't escape, you're tumbling blind

Fools - I will lead you down
Losers - Your eyes will stud my crown
Bastards - I rule your life

I dance on your grave
I dance on your grave
I dance on your grave
I dance on your grave

I am the ruler of the endless night
I am a mighty power that you just can't fight
I hold the key to your destiny
Do what you want, you'll never be free
Running in circles, no way out of this maze
Fog in your brains, get lost in the haze

I am the little man inside your head
You think good, but I'll make it bad
I am the reaper of your destiny
The Reaper's you and the Reaper is me

Fools - I will lead you down
Losers - Your eyes will stud my crown
Bastards - I rule your life

I dance on your grave
I dance on your grave
I dance on your grave
I dance on your grave


5. SHOOT HER DOWN

Watch her style
Demon's smile
Walkin' down the road
Dressed in black
Don't look back
Lies that's what she told
Evil spell
Came from hell
Far from down below
Shoot her
Shoot her
Shoot her down

Shoot her down
I said down down down
Shoot her down
I said down down down
Shoot her down
I said down down down
Shoot her down
I said down

Made me weak
Struck her feet
Right into my balls
Got my knife
Took her life
Watched her as she crawled
Loved her so
Had to go
Down where she belongs
Shoot her
Shoot her
Shoot her down


6. THE REAPER

Welcome to the Evil's nightmare
See the demons dancing round
Waiting for the reaper's rising
Looking out for Satan's crowd

The grave is open, a digger's smile
Please welcome the dead

Look behind you, he stands behind you
The Reaper shall return
Look beside you, he walks beside you
The Reaper has returned

Tonight the Reaper's party is open
Get entrance, get the trance
Forget about the words of warning
Forget about the smell of death

The grave is open, a digger's smile
Please welcome the dead

Look behind you, he stands behind you
The Reaper shall return
Look beside you, he walks beside you
The Reaper has returned

The raft of death now leaves the landing
Waters wipe out space and time
Black man gives a skinless smile
Cold greetings reach your mind

Look behind you, he stands behind you
The Reaper shall return
Look beside you, he walks beside you
The Reaper has returned


7. PARADISE

Planet is so sweet
Like you never see before
And the stand of the crown
Licks on I day I shall return

Cold side of the war
Try to your life are never know
And the night rests of lie
By the times you never no time

Living in the paradise
See burning life
Living in the paradise

On night blow and go
Wish I never want forget
Silent day through inside
Feel the sky scared blaze

When is no lying true
Because the fate in the world
Only men trying to keep
On the time can never heal


8. EXCALIBUR

Unknown heir
Orphaned page
A King to be
Come his Age
For God's sake

Sorcerer
Sword in Stone
Release will
Bring the Throne
For the Chosen One

The Almighty will point out
The only royal blood in the crowd

Excalibur
Sword of the kings
Take me on your wings
Back where I belong
Excalibur

Unworthy
Bound to fail
Noble Heart
Bound to gain
Challenge your faith!

Sorcerer
Sword in Stone
Release it
Ascend the Throne and
Take the crown

The Almighty now throws the dice
Arthur the man without a vice

Precious Sword
Arthur's hand
He deserves
To rule the land
Lead Britannia

Excalibur lights up the sky
Hard times have been passing by


9. THE HOUSE

I'm riding through the night, a friend has called me
I see the moonless sky, the stars shine bright
The house before me, fog hangs over
I'm standing there alone in the dark

I ring the bell
He opens the door
He looks like death
No shadow on the floor

It seems life's gone out of his body
And madness has now taken control

Pale and grey
A weird mind
His sister is dead
And I'm so blind

Deep in the house
She's lying there
This bird of happiness
With long black hair

Silent screams out of the distance
It seems the walls would talk to me
Whispering voices out of the grave
It seems the house can't set me free

Horror running through my veins
As I see my friend going insane

Pale and grey
He's standing there
Scratching and moaning,
Disturbing the air

He knows that he buried his sister alive
But as he sees her he knows that he'll die

Silent screams out of the distance
It seems the walls would talk to me
Whispering voices out of the grave
It seems the house can't set me free

And it's burning...


10. CIRCLE OF WITCHES

The foul smell of evil hangs over the moires
Where in a lonely hut three witches dwell
Repelling creatures, ageless, feared and fitted
With powers from the depths of Hell
Once a noble man, a baron brother of the king himself
Visited the witches on a dark, dark night
He asked assist to gain the throne
He sold his soul to win a fight

The days getting short, and the nights getting colder
Winter has come, the sun is too weak
The forces of night are now growing stronger
Searching for souls of men blind with greed
Three witches stand in a circle of evil
Tongues speaking words old and unknown
Call for a demon to serve in their dark spell
Fulfill what they owe to get what men own

I'll be king, I want the power, I will change my fate
Magic's on my side forever, so the witches say
Time is right to gain the throne, I'll take my brother down
I'll be king to rule the land, yes I'll take the crown

I've lost my soul
I've lost control
To the circle of witches
My life is black
There's no way back
From the circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches - Never again

Lie in wait, prepared to fight, soon the king must come
Allied with the darkest powers, murder will be done
Loyal soldiers stand for battle, blinded are their eyes
Witchcraft takes away their sight, as we take their lives

I've lost my soul
I've lost control
To the circle of witches
My life is black
There's no way back
From the circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches - Never again


I look at myself, a mirror of darkness
My mind is drowned, a dark flood of hate
I owe too much to the powers of evil
I know I'm damned, sealed is my fate

For the gloom of gold and glory, I have sold my soul
Blackened are the sunny days, the dark side gains control
Hell awaits as nightmares haunt me, demons in my head
Satan waits with patient joy, he'll greet me when I'm dead

I've lost my soul
I've lost control
To the circle of witches
My life is black
There's no way back
From the circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches - Never again


DISC 2


1. GRAVE IN THE NO MAN'S LAND

Lost in the no man's land
Died in agony and pain
I raise my hands into the sky
Shattered eyes asking please why?

Why am I
My life to desecrate
Why I am
Travel now to heaven

[Chorus:]
The ferryman unleash the beast
I've paid my one way fare
I look into the eyes of the holy priest
My screams disturbing the air
He turns around and takes my hand
Leading me
To my grave in the no man's land

Lost heart in a faithless time
Buried in the deep of the universe
I'm nailed to my own fate
Soulless mind and endless hate

Why am I
My life to desecrate
Why I am
Travel now to heaven

[Chorus]

I'm dancing, I'm crying
I'm laughing, I'm dying
I'm celebrating the end
At my grave in the no man's land

[Chorus]


2. YESTERDAY

Yesterday, when you left me on my own
Yesterday, when you left my heart alone
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no no
Yesterday, when your love was very true
Yesterday, when we knew what to do
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
Yesterday, in my mind it's still alive
Yesterday, when we were husband and wife
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
Yesterday, yesterday
yesterday, yesterday
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no

No - no - no - no
No - no - no - no
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
Yesterday


3. MORGANE LE FAY

My ruby eyes can see
All secrets and stories never told
With shadows I dance
Sombre castle, Soul aglow
I have the power
I have the might
Morgane le Fay

When I felt my father death
The Dragon put my mother in disgrace
Down by the fireplace
Sowed seed of my evil ways

Don't mess with me
Do not cross my way
Or you may play a part
In my malicious game

I am the devil in disguise
I bring the evil to your life
Listen, listen - listen what I say
My name is - Morgane le Fay

I spoil all happiness
I reveal unvarnished truth
Call me the Black Nun
I am invincible, I never lose


4. SYMPHONY OF DEATH

Fight for God's country
Stand strong, pride you feel
Obey march, raise your banners
Kill die in the fields of steel
Truth faith, what you fight for
Kill rape, eternal glory
Blood gore, shining heroes
Spell write a bloody history

We fight, we kill we die
We play, we dance
To a symphony of death

Wars pride, waving colours
Pain Death, final solution
Look see what are we doing
Kill die for false illusions
Tears fall for dying children
No more human sanity
Take life, sacrifice your child


5. WITCHHUNTER

Have you seen that man
Wrapped up all in black
He waits for his chance
Steps behind your back
He's the raper of the night
Never seen before
There's no warning when he comes
Lock your bedroom door
Jumped the garden wall
Did you hear him howl
Waits outside the hall
Can't you see him frown
Well, this guy is on the prowl
For evil and for lust
If you meet him, pray to god
Or you will be lost

He's a witch hunter, witch hunter
Witch hunter, witch hunter
Through the kitchen door
He's just found his way
Now the clock strikes four
Tonight he will stay
Stepping down your marble hall
He wears a sharpened knife
You can say I told you so
He wants you for his wife


6. THE DARK OF THE SUN

Get your steel brothers
We must fight
Hakon tries to steal
Scotish right

Norwegian soldiers on our land
Steal our Islands
We must defend
Their number's too great we can't win
God in heaven
Send a sign

Kneel and pray - the sun turns black
God with us - we must attack

In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun

Alex king you did
win the day
You bet Hakon and
Proud Norway

We swept them off the battlefield
In their blood they lie
Death is dealed
Their king died on foreign land
United we were strong
we did stand

Kneel and pray - the sun turns black
God with us - we must attack

In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
Fight!

In the dark of the sun
The enemy's defeated run
In the dark of the sun
The battle has been won


7. KNIGHTS OF THE CROSS

It is the end, of the eleventh century
The Christians rule
European countries
The Pope is the head of church
Representing God on earth
His words are the law
His mind is set on war

In the name of God they kill
In the name of God they rape
Blood leads to glory - for God's sake

Knights, knights of the cross
Murder, murder
Fight to defend Jerusalem
From the unholy devils

Pope and priests cry out for holy war
God and Jesus they think to be fighting for
The Islam conquered Byzanz
Slaughter Christians everywhere
Knights of the Cross invade the East
Where the Islam dwells

Knights in the name of
God, stab women and men
Burning, raping, eating human flesh
Satanic bloodlust in their eyes
The first crusade is won
The knights realize too late
Their ankles are covered with Christian blood


8. TWILIGHTS OF THE GODS

Stack stout logs for me in pile
By the shore of the rhine
High and bright let a fire blaze
For the noble hero
With his sword he shall burn
The horse by his side
So cast your eyes on my pain and grief
Behold your eternal guilt

Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods

Feel my hatred, mighty gods
My screams break the silent air
I'll take your gold, give it away
To free myself from the magic curse
You will burn deep in hell
For the murder of my love
Darkness near, the thine overflows
Higher and higher, waves grow

Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods

Bright flames set fire to the hall
Valhalla's end is near
Gods and heroes lost in the hall
See Valhalla's fall

Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods

Bright flames set fire to the hall
Valhalla's end is near
Gods and heroes lost in the hall
See Valhalla's fall

Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods


9. THE GRAVE DIGGER

Six feet under I'm still alive
Six feet under I've found my paradise
When I left, the skies were sober
I took this shrine last October
In this house of gloom and glory
I'm living now and tell my story
I've sold my soul, I've lived a lie
Come and hear my silent cry.

In the silence of the night
Where I shiver with affright
I reflect these wasted years
When I played with hopes and fears.

He took my life, I've lost control
He killed my wife, he sold my soul
The grave is open, the digger smiles
He takes me under, the deadly skies
The grave digger.

I'm shouting, crying, I feel the pain
I'm shouting, dying, I'm a nameless brain
The chains of lies, no chance for heaven
All my sins are unforgiven
From time to time I'm going insane
I feel the hunger in my veins
To kill this nightmare in my head
And to save me from the dead

In the silence of the night
Where I shiver with affright
I reflect these wasted years
When I played with hopes and fears.

He took my life, I've lost control
He killed my wife, he sold my soul
The grave is open, the digger smiles
He takes me under, the deadly skies
The grave digger, the grave digger.

From time to time I'm going insane
I feel the hunger in my veins
To kill this nightmare in my head
And to save me from the dead

In the silence of the night
Where I shiver with affright
I reflect these wasted years
When I played with hopes and fears.

He took my life, I've lost control
He killed my wife, he sold my soul
The grave is open, the digger smiles
He takes me under, the deadly skies
The grave digger, the grave digger


10. REBELLION

The clan's are marching 'gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory i will find
Rebellion on my mind

Rumours know that rebellion will break out
Bonnie Prince Charles is in the highlands to claim his crown no doubt
He raised his Standart at Glenfinnen calling to our pride
The Jacobites are gathering I'll be at their side

Armed and ready stand
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my hand

The clan's are marching 'gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory i will find
Rebellion on my mind

The town of Edinburgh fell soon in our hands
Defeated the English at the Battle of Prestopans

Armed and ready stand
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my hand

The clan's are marching 'gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory i will find
Rebellion on my mind
