1. REBIRTH

(Instrumental)


2. THE FIRST NOBLE TRUTH

The universally shared bond
We all have to face alone
Our world is all too familiar
With the many faces it has shown
From birth to old age
An inevitable part of life's essence
There is no getaway
Suffering is ever present

Transcend suffering
The truth of everything
The absolute
Erase rebirth
Expel hardship
Exceeding life and death

Life after life again
Perpetual circular motions
When will we ever learn
The trail to escaping sorrow
Search beyond the sensual world
Dispose of all dependence
Letting go of your earthly self
Bodhi begins with acceptance

Transcend suffering
The truth of everything
The absolute
Erase rebirth
Expel hardship
Exceeding life and death

Transcend suffering
The truth of everything
The absolute
Erase rebirth
Expel hardship
Exceeding life and death

We are what we think
With our thoughts we make up our world

Long was the weary path
Countless times of rebirth
But now that sorrow's plucked
There is no need to return
No earth, no wind, no fire
Nor consciousness or perception
A dimension without desire
The end to suffering

Transcend suffering
The truth of everything
The absolute
Erase rebirth
Expel hardship
Exceeding life and death

Transcend earth


3. BIRTH OF A GODDESS

I scared you off
Chased you away
You, who would've killed for my love

I don't know what to think
Dark clouds blocking the arabian sun
I don't know what to do
You are the only one for me

Break me shame me bleed me kill me
I am the repented sinner
Longing for your warmth

You are mine and will be mine alone
Take your soul as my own
Safely hidden away no one will know
The grace you give me
Scream and shout and cry it's all in vain
Forever encaged
From this prison there is no escape
Our twisted love tale

Our twisted love tale

Determination
Without sun a flower withers and dies
Overwrought
She took her life

The birth of a goddess
Send back to save her kind

Such a beautiful creature
Caring and loving
The gods then gained a goddess
And granted her eternal life


4. THE GATES OF NARAKA

Open the gates of Naraka

I lived a life of broken promises
No escape from the grey, there was no black or white
As many wrongs as rights, doing what I saw fit
In your hands I lay, the judgement of my past and my next Life

Yama
Am I deemed worthy?
Send off to one of your hells or given instant rebirth?

Damnation
Or salvation?

Saint or sinner
Transparency lost in who I am
Loser, winner
No stranger to both ends
Judge me clearly
Am I a foe or a friend?

Yama
Am I deemed worthy?
Send off to one of your hells or given instant rebirth?

Damnation
Or salvation?

Damnation
No!


5. KUTAYUDDHA

Go!
Gather all the men
Faster! rise up!
The battle is at hand
Clashing! metal!
Send them all to die
Hail to shiva!
Dying screams into the night
Bleed them all dry

Go!

Will I be nothing more than a footprint in the sand?
Unprepared for any war, fighting for unpromised land
The gruesome sight of battle will turn children into men
The regulations only drawn to be broken or be bent

Gather all the men
Faster! rise up!
The battle is at hand
Clashing! metal!
Send them all to die
Hail to shiva!
Dying screams into the night
Bleed them all dry

Go!

Fight!

Unlawful war
Kutayuddha
Breaking all rules
Killing the fools
Hail the mighty Shiva!

No!

We never wanted this
Following orders
into the darkest abyss

There's nothing left but a bloody footprint in the sand
Forever forsaken by the gods and my fatherland
Fighting an unholy war, such a shameful way to die
Eternal retribution, reincarnation forever denied

Forever reincarnation denied!


6. GOD OF HELL

Hellbounds from the south arriving in the night
Soon begins the collection, the cleansing of all life
From the day I came to be until the end of times
Every soul I will judge fairly, in that I take my pride

The son of surya, a cloud of rain
I am the cause of your pain
Bringing justice all across the plains
Engulfing you in cosmic flames
The keeper of ethereal harmony am I
I am the god of hell

The son of surya, a cloud of rain
I am the cause of your pain
Bringing justice all across the plains
Engulfing you in cosmic flames
The keeper of ethereal harmony am I
I am the god of hell

All my life, in this cave, I've been sitting here
Meditating in the dark for gods know how many years
I can't even remember the last time since I saw the sun
Achieving enlightenment, a task strenuously done
In they came, a gang of two, bringing with them a bull
Beheading the beast mercilessly and I was the next to Fall

Please have mercy
The ritual is almost finished
50 years I've waited
Enlightenment is within my reach

The culprits didn't listen and began cutting off the Hermit's neck
When in a near enlightened fury he decides to fight back
He took the head off the bull, killing the thieves with Ease
Drinking blood out of their skulls, that is how he, I Came to be

The son of surya, a cloud of rain
I am the cause of your pain
Bringing justice all across the plains
Engulfing you in cosmic flames
The keeper of ethereal harmony am I
I am the god of hell


7. DESTROYER OF WORLDS

I wish to understand You,
You, the primal being

You reign supreme and are filling the skies
Destroyer of troops with radiant despise

Not unlike witchcraft to the darkness we are drawn
Awaiting divinations, your orphaned spawn
Tell me who are you in such a fierce form?
My salutations, 0 best of gods, lord of all

I am none, I am all, ruler of all can see
The origin of everything, stirring the primordial sea
A white horse on the horizon forebodes your impending Fate
Take up your arms before it is too late

Now I become death, the mighty destroyer of worlds!
Arise for battle, attain the glory.

Conquer your enemies
Feast upon their bodies
All the greats have already been slain by Me
You are merely my instrument
You are only a ruler to be

All is done

I wish to understand You
You, the primal being


8. EDIMMU

On the wind she rides
Forever between life and death
No soul to say goodbye
She never has been laid to rest

Late at night, in the dark, suddenly she comes
Haunting thoughts inside your head until you succumb
Run, run, run, it’s all in vain there is nowhere to hide
Once she has chosen you, you won’t survive the night

Edimmu
Edimmu

Hear the sound, the rattling of chains, the howling of The beast
A vengeful apparition, an echo of the deceased
You turn around, is someone there? in the corner of your Eye
You clearly see impending doom, now is the time to die

Edimmu
Edimmu

Sweating and shivering you awake with a scream
You look around you, was it all a dream?
All of a sudden awareness of her gleam
She moves towards a mirror, seemingly unseen

Crystallize, materialize
A look in the mirror
To see the reflection of death

A look in the mirror
To see the reflection of your death

Who am I?
Spectral charade
Who am I?
Am I dead?

Did I die?

When she died, there was no sermon
Decomposed without dignity
Now she’s back, and here to haunt us
She is the last you will ever see
