1. DUKE OF DAMNATION

Beginning in the future The end lies in the past A black visionary How long will it last? How long will it last? End of the beginning Beginning of the end A dark prophecy Tell me when does it start? Tell me when does it start? Twisted reality Twisted revelation I’m the one who used to be The duke of damnation Victims of tomorrow But crucified today Committed deadly sins How long must I pay? How long must I pay? Creators of all evil The goddamn human race You don’t need a devil To feel the devil’s bite To feel the devil’s bite Twisted reality Twisted revelation I’m the one who used to be The duke of damnation.


2. LONE WOLF

At the end of the road You have to decide Walk honest and proud Or drift to their side It’s so damn hard to see When they all follow the stream It’s easy to obey But there’s a price to pay For all you unbelievers For all you damn deceivers You don’t believe You don’t belong Cause only metal makes us strong Lone wolf You’re an outcast left alone Lone wolf Marching on your own I’m still the underdog I’ve got the savage heart I’m still the underdog And I will always be No sign of a warning I send a message in blood I’m close to your neck And I am here for attack I’m wondering for a while You’ve got no goddamn style You don’t know what to do Cause you’ve got no point of view For all you unbelievers For all you damn deceivers You don’t believe You don’t belong Cause only metal makes us strong Lone wolf You’re an outcast left alone Lone wolf Marching on your own Mystical power and the force Spirit - the body and my soul.


3. DEVIL'S BITE

Straight from the pits of hell I step into your world Right into the arena Bloodshed fills the sky A place where madness dwells Slaves and chains by my side And my mission is clear The king won’t see another day I lay the curse on you Create your abyss too Human horrors Some kind of hell Beware the devil’s bite A weapon forged in hell’s fire I swing the battle axe Sound of roaring thunder From the valley of the gods A warning in my eyes Branded in my skull Open wide the gates Sacrifice in flames I lay the curse on you Create your abyss too Human horrors Some kind of hell Beware the devil’s bite I am the assassin of hell And you promised your soul Cause you reign with his power Now here: Take your reward Straight from the pits of hell I step into your world Right into the arena Bloodshed fills the sky A warning in my eyes Branded in my skull Open wide the gates Sacrifice in flames I lay the curse on you Create your abyss too Human horrors Some kind of hell Beware the devil’s bite Kill strike burn devil’s bite Kill strike burn choose Your side.


4. ETERNAL SLEEP

Hey you – you fade into Elysium dreams Hey you – don’t be afraid cause nothing’s as it seems Hey you – you’re the welcome stranger Hey you – cause you’re dealing with danger Sleep is a picture of death And your dreams show you the other side Sleep is a picture of death Close your eyes and feel the other side Hey you – break the chains that bind you Hey you – leave the mortal world behind you Hey you – close your eyes and tell me what do you see Hey you – it’s a trip through mind and fantasy Sleep is a picture of death And your dreams show you the other side Sleep is a picture of death Close your eyes and feel the other side Solitary moments Feel the ice cold fingers of fate Solitary eden It’s getting late but not too late This moment in time I wanna freeze forever Just one moment in time I want it last forever.


5. ALLEY OF THE GUTTER KINGS

Face in the mirror…it smiles Man in the mirror…he cries Down into the deep hole…I fall Down into the deep hole…I’ve lost it all Reflecting my past life…it hurts What is left now?…only pride Sins and addictions…take control I’ve lost all my power…to carry on Welcome to the alley of the gutter kings Meet me in this place full of sins Welcome to the alley of the gutter kings Meet me in this place my evil twin Sick and tired of your excuses Make a choice…so win or lose it Never silver…never gold Only dirt but now you’re old Where are the good times?…they are gone Where are my good friends?...I’ve lost ‘em all Desolation…I feel alone Isolation…I’ve lost my hope.

Peace is the message And peace is what I say But if you wanna fight Hey…you still got your man You’re feeding the fire You’re oil on the flames Cardinal sin Hey…this is your end I’m your nemesis Angel of revenge I’m your nemesis Crucify Call all the soldiers Call all the priests Start to pray Hey…on your knees You’re looking for trouble Provokin’ the war But don’t you really know Hey…what I am?

8. FACE OF DEATH (PRELUDE TO AGONY)

“…In Elysium you realize That life is just a dream On the way to death… And death is not the end…” Face the news And nothing less Face the truth It’s the face of death Salvation is what I need Damnation is what I get Nothing’s as it seems The duke…he waits for me.


9. DARK SECRET

By the look into the crowd I’m wondering what I am By the look into your eyes I hear your silent cries I don’t need no water or wine All I need is your blood I fly through the night on leathery wings But I don’t hold the strings It’s gonna be my Dark secret Dark secret I don’t wanna be damned Dark secret Dark secret I’m not dead or alive I only kill to survive Hidden corners of my mind I wanna know the one behind More secrets to reveal Damnation is what I feel Now he gave me power Mystic forces in my veins I can feel the pleasure and pain But am I still the same? Arise from the Hades I’m back on the earth No one knows my secret I’m a shadow in the dark of the night No more heartbeat feeling No more daylight sun Reflections of my past I’m a messenger in black One by one they came One by one they tried One by one they died I sent them down to hell.


10. ARCANUM OF ANGUISH

What have you done to me? Is this your master-plan And you want me to obey? Different world – different mind Different life – forbidden side Black is my day – black is my sun Black is my heart – my world’s apart Under control – under the curse Under the spell – I’m walking hell Arcanum of anguish Anguish and fear Can’t you feel The reaper is here Meaning of death – meaning of life Meaning of joy – it’s kill and destroy Angel of pain – angel of night Angel of hate – to hell and back Demon of hope – demon of light Demon of shame – eternal flame.


11. WAVES OF THE UNDERWORLD

I step into the underworld Lost kingdom of the dead Eclipse inside my heart Dark shadows upon my soul Why am I the chosen one? A question inside my head What am I fightin’ for? What am I cryin’ for? Why me? Waves of the underworld Spellbound Waves of the underworld Hellhound He sits beyond the river My doom lies in his hands Am I just a peace In his hellish game? Just a puppet on a string He’s the one to blame What am I livin’ for? What am I dyin’ for? Why me? Trapped in this nightmare All I want is to fade (away) Infinite feelings of loss My existence ends so sad And on my darkest day Agony is the price to pay I’m not a servant I’m not a slave And I’m not a fool To believe I’m safe Let me rest in peace!


12. FRIENDS

Can you imagine – there’s no way out Can you imagine – it’s a trail of tears Isn’t it better – a friend is by your side What’s left in your heart When you’re alone What’s left when all your friends are gone? Can you imagine – isolation all around If you got problems – like mountains so high Isn’t it better – a friend is by your side What’s left in your heart When you’re alone What’s left when all your friends are gone? Can you imagine – standing on your own Can you imagine – your life fades away Money doesn’t matter you cannot buy a friend.


13. FIGHT

Try to take my life Try to take my dreams Try to take my life & dreams Try to start a war Fight For my freedom Against your hate Against you all Try to take my pride Try to take my peace Try to take my pride & peace Try to start a war Fight For my freedom Against your hate Against you all
