Лирика

1. Ride

Lack-lustre vacuum magnetises the land,
scopeless material in ruthless demand,
concrete spectacle superficially grand,
divine animation buried in sight.

We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation,
crystal warriors of damnation.

Nullified grafters manufactured from the womb,
out of the repro-clinic into household tomb.
Drag the nothing tiring through coal-dark underground,
drive the wheels of iron round and round.

Scouring eyes sear through that book of lies,
and to the truth, well our search is dignified.
Whilst the yawny drone of physical machinery
march in robot mode to terminal destiny.
Microscopic observance, forsaken innerland,
spiritual inertia, absorbed in bland,
well our significance shan't sink in their charade,
'cos through their drab pantomime I say we're gonna ride!

2. Hopkins (Witchfinder General)

She rides to the sabbath
Veiled under silver light
To make love to the devil
Necromancer of nyte
Within the mystic forest
She sets your soul alight
Her coven conjure the demons
Herald the sacrifice-yeah

Lucifera Vampirella
She bares the mark of the devil

Queen of the witches
Her kingdom is your hell
Black masses in the convent
Priests under her spell
The crops have withered
The sky bends upside down
Her name is Lucifera
The mutant preachers yell yeah

My name is Hopkins
I'm the Witchfinder General
My impotence deceives me
Your beauty turns me pale
Winds haunt the village
Satan's ghost awakes
The world falls into darkness
As she melts at the stake yeah

Matthew Hopkins
Witchfinder General
Your soul condemned to Hell

3. Autumn Twilight

I got those midnight circles
And I pray deceived
Ooh how I despise you (memories)

Tongue tasting moonlight
A tribute to my pain
We could last for never (another game?)

Here in autumn twilight
Morphia cursed delight

I got those midnight circles
I drawn the hanged man
Movin towards Winter (yes I am)

Eyes seek inner spaces
Guardians of spheres
A touch of dementia's (fears)

Here in autumn twilight
Morphia cursed delight

And the sun shall never rise again
No more visions to be gained
Stricken mother of failings
Led into a shallow grave

Here I am now
So far away – hey
Internal reflections
Another maze

Here I stay now
Caught between
Lives that you form
And the lives I've been

4. Midnight Mountain

Sliding down a mountain, as dusk passes to day.
The antidote of elation, now lifeless masses wake.
Jaws of suxiety open, the luring vampire of agility,
a fatal invitation, sight hazing from me.

Oh midnight mountain, I require,
inner re-location, back to pinnacles high.

Drowning in empty faces, sinking in banal.
I crave the isolation of eventide when perception climbs,
I just need the injection, a dose to boost my flight,
a sonic blast of moonlight, nucleus ignites

Oh midnight mountain, now I'm revived,
stimulus transcending back to pinnacles high.

Screaming at doleful skies, absorbing all my sighs,
responding to my cries – downcast a thunder of reprise,
won't let the next sunrise, signal my landslide,
from ecstatic highs, I'm on top of their demise.

5. Soul Sacrifice

Tortured self-worth,
Abstracts of wrath,
Released from attachment
A Human reaction

Muted, unable to realize
Images of your designs
Soul sacrifice a blessing to me
Carve me from your memory ooh!
Deep impressions my depths,
Worthless, As each breath,
Worlds within half truths,
My fears of losing you

I'll pour scorn from the lowest place,
Colour fades from your face,
Annihilation-acceptance,
Paradox of self existence

Soul sacrifice
Ooh the pain we've been through

Soul sacrifice
I've sacrificed my soul for you

6. Enter The Worms

Adorned daggers, ruby hilted swords,
unfailing crucifixes, striking mortal cords,
huge violent serpents in volumes rolled,
all holy poisons poured in cups of gold.
Ooh these instruments so blessed and old,
here lay death's sceptre – truth untold
without mercy or

Love, forgiveness – exile me,
blades of goodness set me free,
madness my destiny,
alone forever exile me.

Sharp swords, bright lightings set brave souls free,
past God's blind eyes through infinity,
of all these vessels transformed to clay,
rich ashes blown to dust – swept away!
Now take me steel to the gift of skies,
deliver me from weakness from this flesh that rides.
Without pity or;

Ooh to think how pleasant your touch would be,
in that all my lovely limbs would fall away,
and drop to nothing in their soft decay.
Unto my frail heart, the worms shall find a door,
enter the weary pulp – into the core!
As all of my flesh lay soft on the floor,
released this soul from me, forevermore!
Into the loud tide screaming silent words,
out of this dreary world in screeching awe, without earthly

7. Stained Glass Horizon

Stained glass horizon
Trapped in tombs of day
No energy to run – nowhere to escape
Fortune left behind you
Blank dice is your gain
Opium moon is rising
The summer it never came

Your spirit reigns
In the church of hell's domain
Love's stained glass world
You can't see through

Black dove is a flying
From the reaper's hand
You'd chase the white if you weren't blind
A banquet for the living
Skeleton at their feast
Sins a bad man's lover
Whose soul's lost in a pentagram

Your heart's in chains
Vulture of your own remains
Love's stained glass world
You can't see through

If Jesus walked beside you
You'd take lucifer's hand
Evil feels good when it's never found
Hiding from the sunshine
Lost man in the shade
Fight for the force that guides you
Pull yourself from netherland

Your heart's in chains
Vulture of your own remains
Love's stained glass world
You can't see through

8. Vampire Sun

Skull of god with the devils eyes
Crowned in fire sodden sky
Beaming rays of genocide
Into virtues magic lie

Illusive myth of light enslaves you
Vampire sun it drains you

Beg the sword for liberty
Fall before the king of flies
Delirium is flowing free
In our obedience disease

The gift of life is reaped of value
Vampire sun it drains you

Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descend into the pyre

Monolithic angel
Unveil your king to this planet disabled
Mummify the cosmos
With the vision of divinity yeah!

Electric vulture flying high
Through the universal eye
To cleanse the heavens with earth soul
The excretion of mankind

Feeding from the fangs of virtue
Vampire sun it drains you

Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descent into the pyre

9. Cosmic Funeral

Winged Disciples Of The Nocturn Dream
Descend Upon The Fortress Of The Tyrants Creed
In Their Search For Midas, How Many More Must Bleed?
Father Supernature – Grant The Final Deed, Please Yeah

Children Screaming Velvet Sorrow
In Tombstone Rulers Burning Land
Love Shall Send Them To The Gallows
Retribution Is At Hand

Immortal Rotation In A Wordless Hearse
Cosmic Funeral, Of Mothers Afterbirth
Lord Release The Dragons From The Pall Bearing Sky
Our Sorrow Is Navigation, To Breathe Their Hate Goodbye – Yeah!

Through A Screen Of Crimson Shadows
Weeping Angel Flaps His Wings
Void Of Sin, Engulfs And Swallows
Tragic Dust Of Futile Man

C'Mon Now, Oh Yeah!!!

Karma Has Brought You Our Way
And Now We're Tolling Your Bell
Purple Unicorns Will Guide Me
To Fleets Of Lost Angels

Ooh Disco Supernova Do The Martian Bossanova
Can Ya Dig It?
Let's Groove – Sonic Muthafucka!!!!

Demons Inside We
Have Burned You Now We've Expelled
They Chased You Down Satan's Highway
We Bid You Found Farewell

10. Ebony Tears

Together we have discovered the languid fatigue of love
interrogated all our beauty we've turned each other inside out.
Drowning in Ebony Tears.
The long face of cherrlessness the only bonding we share
enlightened by degredation the only pleasure is pain.
Drowning in Ebony Tears.
Embedded in our resentment lay the keys to disengage
but still we burn in persecution for the punishment of
possessiveness.

11. Melancholy Emperor

Blazing ball of fire – final bang ignites
Fleets of hungry angels feast on earth like flies
Burning soul of karma – furnace of mankind
Human skull and crossbones – treasures left behind
Holy father – reaps earth's seed
Sacred mother spreads his disease
Religious inferno – burial of mind
Mental crucifixion, love destroyed by lies
Decomposing morals – mummified in time
Lord of retribution, judge us for our crimes
Holy father – reaps earth's seed
Sacred mother spreads his disease
Master of ceremonies – awakens from eternal nyte
For our sins we pay the price – society it's time to die.
Melancholy emperor – king of our demise
Arises from deep shadows – bearing endtyme scythe
Skull of ancient wisdom, cloaked in funeral sky
Spreads his wings wide open, engulfs the cosmos wide
Holy father – reaps earth's seed
Sacred mother spreads his disease
Holy father – reaps earth's seed
Sacred mother spreads his disease

12. Equilibrium

Lost in the battlefield of opposite extremes.
I ponder on the embankment that stands in between
The monochrome and color entirety
I see the beauty and chaos of fate and destiny.
Stand in the balance of forest equilibrium.
Absorb every aspect of forest equilibrium.
The fatality of optimism shall we not embrace
but evolve into the actual with grace.
Outweigh the balance through excessive choice
I return to the wisdom of this equalateral place.
Rebuild thy strength here in forest equilibrium.
Through irreligious choice in forest equilibrium.
Through irreligious choice in forest equilibrium.
Come walk with me through violet smokescreens
where both feet tread upon joys and agonies
calm in all we see, masters of destiny.

13. Utopian Blaster

Today the sun refused to shine
On this war infested land
Beyond our sky, the lord of life
Sending crossbones tumbling down
Citadel on a traveling stone
Magic wisdom our only home
As flesh impostors fight the master
Of forces to them unknown yeah!

Blinded by the power
Life spell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master

Sculptured space in plastic hands
Evil empire of mankind
Blazing light from the sword of mars
Shall destroy this utopian farce
Giant mass of the children high
Sleeping on beds of air
Limitations we've unbound
Come and join us well take you there – yeah

Struck ever after
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master now!

Legend of Earth after
Sleep in dusted grace
Time has ceased our fortune shall begin
Bathe in fountains of laughter

Cleansed by endtime rapture
Embrace the final dawn
Fatal glow – sirens in the wind
Conquest oh we shall capture yeah!

We race upon the unicorn
To a land of towers green
While soldiers march into the void
Guided by mans funeral hand
Golden souls riding on the wind
From the path of nature sinned
Cosmic army military
Our weapons be only love – yeah

Struck by the power
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Face your master now

14. Voodoo Fire

Magic lady of the Snake Cult stands, high on the Voodoo Mountain
Society does the Congo Dance, to the Serpent Queen's chanting
Baby – Feel the demons burning
Hypnotized Hostile World. To her presence is falling!

Flame on – Soul Possession and Sacrifice
Voodoo Fire's setting your world alight

Voodoo Fire

As far as away as Jupiter and way beyond its 13 Moons
Solar System of Lucifer in a ritual of Cosmic Doom
Baby – Papa Nebo is calling
Zombie rise to the voodoo cries. From your mortal tomb awaken

Flame on – Soul Possession and Sacrifice
Voodoo Fire's setting your world alight – all right

Cultes Des Mortes – Resurrect him
Raise the King of the Dead
Baron Samedi – A Serpent Orgy
Welcomes you – King of the Dead!

Jungle Magic is spreading fast in a global manifestation
Necromantic system bows to a black mass of invocation
Tell me – The secrets of the future
To stop the flames of this burning world, resurrect our dead creator

Voodoo Fire

15. Imprisoned In Flesh

Wishing that the sun would shine,
flesh wasting dreams inside.
In this prison burning light,
which fades on the outside.

I only want to believe,
that there's a place better for me,
a union where lost souls meet,
where I can share this flame with thee,
hide and reach beyond entropy,
in all that you seek – burn with me.

16. Hide And Seek

(инструментал)

17. Neophytes For Serpent Eve

18. Violet Breath

19. Night Of The Seagulls

We are the blind dead
No eyes inside our head
Our senses lead us to your nightmare
Centuries of death we wear
Pharaoh's cross in dust we bare
Immortal horses slowly ride us to you

Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar – arise

The shores unearthly dead
Mournful mothers chilled with dread
Leave their offspring to knights templar
They rise from the sea
At midnight the prize you see
Tied to the post – a virgin screaming

Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar – arise – oh!!!

Into our castle led
Seagulls howling overhead
The ritual you face
You shall no after
Your blood we drink for eternity
Flesh unto the crabs we leave
And feed your heart unto Aquarian master

Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar – arise

20. Magic Mountain

21. A Funeral Request

White rose perfume go with thee on thy way unto the thy
shaded tomb low music doth fall lightly as autumn leaves about they solemn pall.
Faint incense rises.
O'you, you fell away from me my love,
like all earthly things vanish into death's cold mysteries.
Serpents marked with azure rings cathedrals where rich shadows fall,
things strange curious solemn saviour.
You promised me laughter in autumn days,
now I can't awake from this lucid haze,
I can't awake to laugh with you, I'm so weary.
Claws upon my flesh and statues of lost souls dominate this house.
Angels have no pity, their wings have turned to stone.
Come travel naked lovers beyond all dimensions of heaven
and lie enchanted forever in the lucid garden of dreams.
In all animate sources and creation of belief
we travel seas of illusions that begin at our dreams.
Ethereal architects masters of all fate.

22. The Olde Oak Tree

23. Schizoid Puppeteer

24. Carnival Bizarre

Ride with me on a shooting star
Through galaxies of death we chase
Skeletal king of paradise
Cosmic crown is the jewel you wear

Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rockin' hard

Silver mountain of razor blades
The masses ascend to a golden lie
Evil angels in bloody lakes
Await to celebrate their fate

Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rocking hard

Metamorphisised
From the ghost machine we fly
Through circles of gold
To our celestial throne
Galaxies have died
Dragons breath has frozen
Chaos in serpent forms
Manifest the universe

Crystal phoenix of midnight sky
Carry the burning souls away
Legions of frost we leave behind
Celestial gardens of love we share

Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rockin' hard

II Freak out of the mellow man

Cosmic psychonaut
Earth into skies last port
Space turning over now
We elevate our thoughts
Wilderness as we abort, oh yeah!!!

25. Rabies

оригинал: Witchfinder General

From the doors of the dungeons you know
Down to the bloody gates of Hell
Men on their knees dying
Rather than to rabies smell
Will we survive? I say
From this one and only evil, Invade
The love and the friendship you know
The Lord God above once made

When the dogs lie dead
Yes silent they pray
Women and children
Yeah they die in dismay
The foaming of mouths yeah the sinking of teeth
The people who are left must get on their feet

Will the world as we know it ever be again
Full of people like me and you
A bullet I say is the only way to survive
From the pain and the anguish
Those dogs have arrived!

From the doors of the dungeons they came
Down to the bloody gates of hell
Men on their knees still dying
Rather than to rabies smell
Cold bed of hunger I say
The hand of doom points go
Men on their knees praying
The Lord God above said No

When the dogs lie dead
Yes silent they pray
Women and children
Yeah they die in dismay
The foaming of mouths yeah the sinking of teeth
The people who are left must get on their feet

Now the dogs are dying, time they lay
People surviving, none are away
No more are dying from the rabies smell
The dogs are a dying, they cheer as they...
As they burn!
They burn!

26. Blue Light

Waning autumn, winter blue
Tonight we dance in praise of you
Oh reaper scream a silent serenade
Of tunes above earths grave
Enigma bites our world in grey
To kill the morning jester fade
Our host of nocturn is the ghost of day
The cosmos for you paved

The milky way pours over me
We own the stars and night
Angel of death has set us free
Blue light of pure insight

Planetary suicide
From violence of red sun we hide
Long live disciples of eternal night
In praise of moonlit sky

The milky way pours over me
At one with stars and night
Angel of death has set us free
Blue light of pure insight

Take his hand
To the land of dreams
Fear not his purple might
Truths unfold
With the grace of death
Iron lace ties our embrace
