1. GATHERING THE TROOPS

(Instrumental)


2. ANUBIS

His fur is black. his head up straight. meet him at the necropolis’ gate.
Closely linked to rebirth in the afterlife.

The guardian and protector of the dead. he is the god with the jackal head.
Long ago he started out as god of the underworld.

‘Lord of the sacred land’

‘Guardian of the scales’

‘Protector of the tombs’

‘He who is upon his mountain’

Egyptian god.
Son of osiris.
He guides the dead to where they’re judged.
And make sure their hearts are weighed properly.
The ‘guide of souls’.
No ‘piss poor’ morality.

Weighing – grading – appraising

The tomb is closed. sealed with his image.
The ruler of the nine bows.
He protects and keeps watch,
guarding the realm of the death.
Beware of the god with the jackal head.

‘Lord of the sacred land’

‘Guardian of the scales’

‘Protector of the tombs’

‘He who is upon his mountain’

Egyptian god.
Son of osiris.
He guides the dead to where they’re judged.
And make sure their hearts are weighed properly.
The ‘guide of souls’.
No ‘piss poor’ morality.

Weighing – grading – appraising

He rules. he weighs. he grades.
He rules. he weighs. he grades.

Arbiter of truth.
He guards the entrance to the underworld, his domain.
He’s anubis, anubis, anubis.
Anubis!


3. GOD OF WAR

War! if to fight, is destiny. grant us, victory!

We are each our own devil and make this world hell.
It’s like we are under an evil spell.

Race. an excuse to divide us.
Green. it there to control us.

Past. a time to learn from.
Brains. we keep ourselves dumb.

God of war! looking down at us.
God of war! he’s the one we trust?
God of war! a need to get more.
God of war! blood, guts and gore.

We are each our own devil and make this world hell.
It’s like we are under an evil spell.

Fear. we let it lead us.
Greed. it drives the world nuts.

God of war! looking down at us.
God of war! he’s the one we trust?
God of war! a need to get more.
God of war! blood, guts and gore.

When we are wronged we invent lines like these:
“Revenge is an act of passion and vengeance of justice”.
History is a bad teacher, we repeat on and on and on.
Watch him steal your children’s hopes and dreams.
We can’t get enough of war and we watch it like sport.
God damn war!!! god damn war!!! god damn war!!!
God damn war!!!

God of war! looking down at us.
God of war! he’s the one we trust?
God of war! a need to get more.
God of war! blood, guts and gore.

God of war! looking down at us.
God of war! he’s the one we trust?
God of war! a need to get more.
God of war! blood, guts and gore.

We are sacrificed to the god of war.


4. NECROMANCER

What once was and what will be.
Death has no claim over me.
Trapped between life and death.
Into the twilight I descend.

Shadows, pain.
In Darkness I claim.
Your soul belongs to me.
From the depths of hell I was retrieved.

Whispers from the past.
Sacrifices frozen in time.

My name is damnation.
I’m the right hand of doom.
Messiah of pain will rip your world apart.

Many roads into darkness.
Many paths in the twilight.
I’m the human and the monster.
Good and evil. purgatory of flesh.

Many roads into darkness.
Many paths in the twilight.
I’m the human and the monster.
Good and evil. purgatory of flesh.

The thin line between life and death.
Is hidden in the shadow.
Fight the battle and live to die another day.


5. INTO THE NIGHT

She wake’s up and goes to work.
Each day the same.
From nine to five she’s sweetness itself.
No complains are made.

But when the twilight begins to fail,
juices in her veins.
A different style is forced on her.
A new ego is made.

Into the night, evil takes over.
Far from the light. no one really knows her.

The streets are dark, the moon is red.
She’s coming on.
The city is changed into a zoo.
No one allowed.

Into the night, evil takes over.
Far from the light. no one really knows her.

Looking for a victim in the dark streets of town.
A strange fog appears whenever she’s around.
So stay out of sight till the sun turns out the night.
You could be partner when the stars are not shining bright.

See the stranger running away as she going back.
The sun comes up the skirt goes on, another man is cracked.

Into the night, evil takes over.
Far from the light. no one really knows her.


6. NIGHT WATCH

The soldiers set upon their way.
To burn the sorceress at the stake.
To execute the unholy witch.
Two armies clashed upon the bridge.

Crushing skulls and bones.
Battle raged on.
Neither side would yield.
Heaven cried…
Then the army struck a deal.

They watch the forces of the dark.
They drink not wine but human blood.
The easy victims on the run.
Another chase has just begun.

He is the one that boy.
Now he follows the voice.
Signs around so clear.
One side had breached the deal.
And war broke out again.

It’s the night watch.
Against the day watch.
Now it’s the day watch.
Against the night watch.

It goes back to the ancient times.
To the virgin of the byzantine.
Who had been cursed by an evil force.
Blackened her city, split the world.

Gesser – you’re the light.
So – you control the night.
Dark lord zabulon.
Day is yours.
But another great will come.

You drink this potion then I whisper incantation.
She’s in agonizing pain and suffocation.
I penetrate your finger with a tiny needle.
The sin is yours not mine.
No one will solve this riddle.

Flocks of cawing crows.
Now predict the worse.
Twisters closing in.
The boy is trapped.
Now the curse has been fulfilled.
Unspotted soul.
Will play the crucial role.
So make up your mind.
Now it’s fine.
Which side you are on child?
Which side you are on child?
Tell us which side you are on

It’s the night watch.
Against the day watch.
Now it’s the day watch.
Against the night watch.

It’s the night watch.
Fighting the day watch.
Now it’s the day watch.
Fighting the night watch.


7. BRING IT ON

I never thought it would come to this. it is how it is.
We might as well get it out of the way. out of my biz.

It started small after all this time. it didn’t feel like much.
Yet the build up could not be stopped. not with a smooth touch!

Bring it on!

Move closer. I want you within reach.
My fire is burning. don’t want to hear you preach.
Game, set, match. I don’t care how many rounds.
I won’t settle ‘till I hear that crushing sound.

The lovely smell emanating from you can only be called fear.
I see it in your eyes and yet you move to a higher gear!

Bring it on!

Move closer. I want you within reach.
My fire is burning. don’t want to hear you preach.
Game, set, match. I don’t care how many rounds.
I won’t settle ‘till I hear that crushing sound.

Desperation taking over. I really like the sight.
You’re rounds are up, you’re going down. god I love this fight!

Bring it on now!


8. PADDED WALLS

I am the shadow of your mind.
The dark cloud in your sky.
I am your inner demon.
An endless raging cry.

I feed on your hopes and dreams.
You know, we are the one.
A legion of loud voices.
That cannot be undone.

I am the way. follow me down the path of deception.
The road of destruction we’ll take.
I am your downfall, your end and new beginning.
Your hope for redemption I’ll fake.

Padded walls.
Am I possessed or raging?
Padded walls.
Closing in around me!

This hole so dark, this hole so deep.
I never knew what monsters creep.
There’s only one, I always see.
I know this monster, because it’s me…

Between these padded walls, you’ll end your days.
I will make sure of that.
And when your body stops to breathe, I’ll own your soul, so you’ll know you’re dead.

The preacher, who’s been called for you,
has fear in his eyes.
He thinks he knows me through and through, but cannot read my lies.

I am the way. Follow me down the path of deception.
The road of destruction we’ll take.
I am your downfall, your end and new beginning.
Your hope for redemption I’ll fake.

Padded walls.
Am I possessed or raging?
Padded walls.
Closing in around me!


9. GLADIATOR

Into the arena we go. giving our lives, selling our souls.
Killing for caesar. fighting for glory. listen to me. hear my story.

Born as a celt in a land full of rage.
From a head-hunters tribe in the iron age.
I learned how to fight to honor our gods,
The morrigan, phantom queen of the wars

A prophecy told of a land in the south.
Where warriors meet story told mouth to mouth.
An emperor rules by a thumb in the air.
In a circus of blood where only lions dare.

Into the arena we go. giving our lives, selling our souls.
Killing for caesar. fighting for glory. listen to me. hear my story.

Enslaved as a child by pillaging romans.
Put up a fight I was their bad omen.
Killed for my honor send one over.
Died by the sword at the white cliffs of dover.

Took me to rome, perfected my skills.
No freedom for me only the thrills.
The oath that I swore, my life for the gods.
Making the kills against the odds.

Thumbs go down or thumbs go up.
Caesar decides who’s blood s’ gonna drop.

Into the arena we go. giving our lives, selling our souls.
Killing for caesar. fighting for glory. listen to me. hear my story.

Thumbs go down or thumbs go up.
Caesar decides who’s blood s’ gonna drop.

They marked my body to identify me.
Fight to the death. by the rules it should be.
With one knee on the ground my opponent will die.
My sword in his neck, not even a cry.

The prophecy told of a child, it was me.
I won all my fights, victory, I am free.
A long journey home to britannia.
Leave through the porta sanavivaria.

Into the arena we go. giving our lives, selling our souls.
Killing for caesar. fighting for glory. listen to me. hear my story.


10. FEAR

Guts over fear. that’s what they’re telling me.
The time is here. can I face what’s ahead of me?
I know my fear. it is there to protect me.
The warning is near. which side wins this plea.

I feel my hands. they’re getting damp and I
get nervous. still I want to keep at it.
So here I am. I feel like I’ve nothing too loose.
More guts than brains. alright then.

Run or face my fear.
It has come down to this.
It’s more than just a choice.
Got to face my fears.
My head’s filled with noise.
It’s not clear to stay or split.
Working up the guts.
As I choose to go for it!

Run or face my fear.
It has come down to this.
It’s more than just a choice.
Got to face my fears.
My head’s filled with noise.
It’s not clear to stay or split.
Working up the guts.
As I choose to go for it!

Run or face my fear.
More than just a choice.
My head’s filled with noise.
Working up the guts.
As I choose to go for it!
Go for it!
Guts over brains!


11. DERANGED (PRELUDE)

I lived my live with deviating thoughts.
Never knew till I connected the dots.
Apparently my different view
was to unique and so my solitude grew.

I wrote a book. it sells like hell.
It hit the charts like a crazy bombshell.
It just contains most of the facts.
My actual thoughts they said are too far fetched.

Sick and vile. that’s my style.
Thorazine makes me mean.

I guess my cat would have agreed.
Drenched in fuel she burned with great speed.
Just didn’t see the difference between,
A fly, a cat, a man, at the age of thirteen.

Sick and vile. that’s my style.
Thorazine makes me mean.


12. DERANGED

What’s real, what’s not? depends on the meds I’ve got.
This room I’m in. it starts to grow on me.

I dig my mind. don’t hide behind my pride.
This room I’m in. are these walls of human skin?

Deranged beyond believe, they say I am.
But I don’t mind. I’m feeling quite all right.

The lives I took. they all are in my book.
It sells like hell and they’re saying I’m not well.

Feeling an episode and I’m enjoying it.
Don’t want to leave just now.

This place I am now, it is my happy place.
The place where I was. I thrive on it!

Feeling an episode and I’m enjoying it.
Don’t want to leave just now.
I want to use it.

The place I am now it is my happy place.
The place where I was I thrive on it!

Skinning. cracking. peeling.
Cutting, dissecting and dismembering.
