Lyrics

1. EVIL IN YOU

The time is right you and I
We will fight the final battle
Gone away the bond of passion
Death of faith, left aggression

We sworn the oath, now it is broken
Gone away with deception
I'll root out the nest of rebellion
Wage of sin, total subjection

The ancient law from the old union - obedience !

In the face of judge you regret
Sue for mercy before the creating
Remove the one for me to end
Only way to endless purity

Now you find the path of rightness
Opens the gate to deepest openness
True peace in the place of paradise
Will decay

Whiplash, flowing tears
Resumed respect
Supreme power
Beats the evil out of you


2. WITHERING AWAY

Life - testament of fathers
Forces to fight against the dark side
Mystery - still unsolved
Controller of the panel inner body

Hear the voices from the side of unknown
Leading body into temptation
False prophets message behind the mask
Breaking through the will, darker one to rule

Withering away
Only way to be awake
Dispensation into the light
Against the law, internal fight

Two minds destroying their cradle
Suicidal action towards the end

Believer - the feeble natured
Completely influenced by abuser
Awareness - disturbed
A matter of social needs

Suppression way to inner revolution
Denial is the force
Opens the lock of inner control
The enemy will lose


3. HERITANCE OF BERIJA

Land of mighty and glory
Reality behind the iron curtain

Waves - of the bloody revolution
Demagog - calling to join them
Puppets will gather
Controlled by the hindbrain

Heritance of Berija
Comissar's iron fist

Blood is thicker than water
Innocent people pay the price

Chauvinist - using the ultimate power
Democracy - demigod of backward nation
The one who sow dissension
Submission or punishment

Salute - The - One


4. BLACK ROIJA

Morality - the sickest thought
Of a weeping lust waiting the revival
Fear inside you of a painful nausea
It bites your weak soul to suffocate the fire

Reach out over hopeless distance - extinguish
Feel the king inside you - take a pull

The spirit rises you're the one again
Nothing left of painful distant memories
Feel the strength before the end
Reveals the final truth for your comfort

Reach out for your minds obsession
With shaking hands hopeless distance
Blessed emotion your only devotion
Demons hunger your Black Roija

Imagine rules - changing mood
Bitter tears after surge of emotions
Once with glory you know the story
Liquid years no more tears

And with the beast you will release
Chained evil out of your withdrawn mind
Turn into sickness point of no return
With the demon find the leader till you die


5. DANCE OF THE WATER

Water in eternal movement
Circling day after day
Above the surface in wind's face
Is the end cruelly grimaced
On the water, water lily's leaf
Is rolling on the stream
Beside the bluff there she dances
Water flea in her wedding
Master wind blows waves begin to rise

Her fiance tomorrow child
Just taken his first breath
Take his step and with his bride
They fall into ecstasy
Wind blows hard they do not see
Water lily's leaf is turning
With this move it falls down
Those lovers almost together
Lose their lifes for the others to live
Today it is calm
Tomorrow it storms
But still water
For ever flows


6. HADES

Holding the candle in my arms
I'm kneeling down to the altar
Waiting the call from my master
Soon will weight my soul

In the final scale I see my remains
Red dying flower the pan falls down
I see Anubis, ancient judge of fathers
Won't take my rose - falling away
Into hades

I have atomed
Now I'm waiting
Waiting the call
Chance to reborn

Crawling on the ground darkness around
Searching for the light that guides me home
Into my cosmic face never shines the day
Cannot reach out - prisoner of gods
In hades

Turn into blood
Rage of sin
Turn into blood
This is hades


7. ALTERATION

With outspread wings eyes wide open glides osprey
Wounded by a gun never fired - humanity
Twisted form genotype inside - lethal decease
From generation to others will occur

World in its forms is dying
Polymorphism is ruined
Or ...?

Are these changes in system meant to be done ?
How fast will proceed this process that slowly begun ?

Into the night we disappear - before the end
Silence will creep over the planet - final era
Component parts of life remains - combination
And under control of creator the new race will born


8. USING THE WORD

A man with the mask on a mountain
Holding the cross in his blood covered hands
Watching the symbol with respect
Praising the lord for victory

He led the troops into a battle
Battle of might, glory and trust
Under the flag of the goddess
Surrounded by lies... and greed

Killing a thousand years old culture
Taking away the dream
Wasting development
Disturbing the peace

Death sleeps on the fields
Blood stained scenes artificial believes
Using the word with the sword
No difference, no soul at all

Using the word means power
Using religion as a shield
Cleaning the scene from the unfit
By forcing them live for greed!
