1. THE DESCENT

(Instrumental)


2. SLUM DEVIL

A whirlwind of emotions drowned in the strongest wine
A drunken crew which cries goliardic songs under neon lights
The tavern was my kingdom, a dreary whore my queen
The inebriety for rum the best sensation I could feel
I threw away my life wasting time and waiting for the end of days
Until two dark wings hid my face and a daemon took me away

'Cause I'll be just a candle when the morning light will come
While you're the fury of flames, the summer's heat, the golden sun

I need your blood but I ignore your past, your life and your name
I am the player while you're just a small piece of my game
Along my path I have left in each place and in each time
My name as a scar on the earth, as a red passion sign
My body won't decay while mortals will turn to grey dust
But I have missed forever the most glorious out of all the stars

'Cause I'll be just a candle when the morning light will come
While you're the fury of flames, the summer's heat, the golden sun

'Cause I'll be just a candle when the morning light will come
While you're the fury of flames, the summer's heat, the golden sun


3. LIVIN ROCK

I feel the shadows
I feel the fire
They're burnin' my heart like the sun
It's time to go
It's time to rock
I'm waiting the trace of my soul

And I'm flyin' so high to see
And I'm burnin' so hard like a livin' rock

Watching the sun
Watching my skin
Like something that burns everytime
I've lost all my dreams
The reason to live
And I've never found any sign

And I'm flyin' so high to see
And I'm burnin' so hard like a livin' rock

I'm burnin' so hard
I'm burnin' so hard
I'm burnin' so hard like a livin' rock


4. MARK OF VENGEANCE

Follow me in the docks of London, slum of shattered
Dreams and tears
You will find the scum of mankind
And face all our inner fears
I will tell you about the gentle heart
Behind an awful face
It's the story of the kind
Yuri who resurrected from the grave

Brothers hear for the last time my raging call
'cause the crimson mark of vengeance has returned

He was innocent but their corrupted justice punished him
Yuri was sent to the gallows
To leave down the mighty's sins
The great king of poors and beggars
Has unsheathed his old knife
The sharp fury of our defender will reap
All the rich men's lives

Brothers hear for the last time my raging call
'cause the crimson mark of vengeance has returned

Brothers hear for the last time my raging call
'cause the crimson mark of vengeance has returned
Brothers hear for the last time my raging call
'cause the crimson mark of vengeance has returned


5. WHISPER OF THE NIGHT

I swapped a breath of life for brown inceptions in my veins
Refusing this reality where pain and nightmares reign
I was not strong enough to face my road and choose a cause
Is there a meaning if you have no hope?

This is the whisper
This is the whisper
This is the whisper
Whisper of the night

Strange whispers, worrying voices cross the deeps of our minds
In our broken bodies there is nothing really alive
We sleep on this soil filled with slimy oils and stifling dust
Our last breath will be dispelled by windblasts

This is the whisper
This is the whisper
This is the whisper
Whisper of the night

This is the whisper
This is the whisper
This is the whisper
Whisper of the night


6. FURY OF TIME

The man in black fled across the dry lands
Through deserts and plains without name
The gunslinger followed that mage without soul
To reach the edge and challenge his fate

You're just a dreamer, one way or another the tower will fall
The red king can't be defeated and soon he will conquer this world

Time runs, time flies, time burns, it's the fury of time
You can follow me but you'll never discover the truth
No one can save the tower of doom
No one can save the tower of doom

Acrid smell of the ash, black whirlwinds in the air
A thick soot which has covered the earth
The strange journey of the sun from the north to the west
Premonition of fire and death

You're just a dreamer, one way or another the tower will fall
The red king can't be defeated and soon he will conquer this world

Time runs, time flies, time burns, it's the fury of time
You can follow me but you'll never discover the truth
No one can save the tower of doom
No one can save the tower of doom

Time runs, time flies, time burns, it's the fury of time
You can follow me but you'll never discover the truth
No one can save the tower of doom
No one can save the tower of doom


7. WANDERING SPIRIT

In the cities under fire I've seen ruins of buildings caressed by the wind
Its howling seemed to be a voice from the walls which said "No, we won't fall"
In the cities under fire I have seen deserted streets touched by the wind
I can't stay if it was a vision, premonition or a dream

Maybe the end of these plains is too far for my sight
Surely the end of the conflict won't come before this night
I have crossed two entire continents from the far north of ice and frozen seas
As far as the southern regions of scorched earth and dried trees
One day they told me that truth is as fragile as a fortress built in the black dust
To face the challenge I know that my reason and my wandering spirit will be enough

Come with us and fight
Against the blind fury of might
We will march united
Under the flag of mankind

One time I swear to protect everyone, the stronger as much as the poor and weak
From the tyrants and from their greed
I shared the grief of a dying war but now it's time to share the force to break the chains
To forge a new world without death and pain
One day they told me that faith is as fragile as a fortress built in the black dust
To win our last war I know that my reason and my wandering spirit will be enough

Come with us and fight
Against the blind fury of might
We will march united
Under the flag of mankind

Come with us and fight
Against the blind fury of might
We will march united
Under the flag of mankind


8. GOLDEN CELL

How can the hearth of an half god
Remain pure when he touches the stars
When he concentrates in his hands
The fire of the sun
Protect us with your iron fist
We live because you decided it
A mortal in your presence
Is just a loser an unfit

You won't stop till the infested lands
Will be reduced to dunes of sand
Till you'll have killed them to the last
Their world will be turned into dust

Fighting in his holy name
Glory and death will be the same
Millions of pathetic lives
Won't be sacrificed in vain

You obtained an eternal life
As supreme emperor of man
Constricted in a baroque machine
A jail, a golden cell
In a world where the farest past
Was swept away by endless wars
You keep the mankind memories
Lost in dark ancient lore

You won't stop till the infested lands
Will be reduced to dunes of sand
Till you'll have killed them to the last
Their world will be turned into dust

Fighting in his holy name
Glory and death will be the same
Millions of pathetic lives
Won't be sacrificed in vain

Fighting in his holy name
Glory and death will be the same
Millions of pathetic lives
Won't be sacrificed in vain


9. ASYLUM

From the highest mountain i watched mankind sitting on my throne
I felt the lightning when they adorned my head with the holy crown
That day the bolt was terrible and my scream too much loud
I was confined inside my fortress by the mortal crowd
My dreadful shame will be cleansed when I'll see them crying of pain
The god's rage breaks out without restraint… and the thunderstorm begins!

The loving imp said "Kill them all but start from the white bitch
She's filthy like the others but she's weaker than the beasts
That witch is in the infirmary and keeps just what you need
Now do you what must be done and try to catch your precious key"

There are two ways to escape: destroying or dying
Can you sense the gentle light?
The sun of freedom is going to rise
It's like a raging fire in the sky

My mind could not control my hand, this was my tragic sin
A blade freed from humanity, a soul to be redeemed
I'll wash away my faults with spurts of acid on my skin
Believe me, it shall be the greatest end you've ever seen

There are two ways to escape: destroying or dying
Can you sense the gentle light?
The sun of freedom is going to rise
It's like a raging fire in the sky

I'll go beyond those awful walls and swim across the sea
There I will find the golden jinn, the one who'll make me free
I'll go beyond those awful walls and swim across the sea
There I will find the golden jinn, the one who'll make me free

There are two ways to escape: destroying or dying
Can you sense the gentle light?
The sun of freedom is going to rise
It's like a raging fire in the sky
