1. Bathory

Daughter of nobility,
quest for immortality.
Restoring her beauty,
with the blood of virgins.

Homicidal tendency,
infamous her cruelty.
Dabbler in sorcery,
crimson blade on skin.

She bathed in blood,
made whole.
Impaled on spikes,
brave souls slain and drained.

Bathory!
She was a countess,
severed fingers fall.
Bathory!
With a heart as black
as night. Yeah!
...Elizabeth Bathory!

Maidens came from
near and far,
to her castle abattoir.
Never know
how doomed you are,
stripped and blinded.

Hear the victims
weep and wail,
like a grotesque
fairy tale.
Sacrificed beyond the pale,
slash and bite the flesh.

Cut deep from servants face,
villagers vanish,
lost without a trace.

Bathory!
See the bodies,
thrown from castle walls.
Bathory!
Bleach their bones
to deathly white. Yeah!
...Elizabeth Bathory!

Beaten,
beyond all all recognition.
Frozen,
to the marrow.
left naked in the snow.
Hog tied,
in unholy benediction.
Blood sacrifice,
to the slaughter you must go.

I will dine on your heart,
and drink the life out of your veins.
taking all but the soul my dear,
till nothing of you remains.

Too bad this has to end my pretty!

Bathory!
She was a countess,
severed fingers fall.
Bathory!
With a heart as black
as night. Yeah!
...Elizabeth Bathory!

Bathory!
She was a countess,
severed fingers fall.
Bathory!
With a heart as black
as night. Yeah!
...Elizabeth Bathory!

2. Alderley Edge

Sit very still you can hear distant marching,
over on Alderley hill.
Half close your eyes and imagine procession,
drums beating on feel a chill.

Legend foretold of a king and his army,
honour to rise on the day.
England has need in it's greatest of peril,
fire frost is lost so they say.

Someone turned the sun around,
someone pulled the curtain down.

No knights in Avalon,
they were here but now it's gone.

No knights in Avalon,
they were here but now it's gone.

Here as a boy I remember a wizard,
tapped on the rock made a sign.
The earth moved a door stood,
and gates opened slowly.
Gemstones sparkled and shined.

Gathered within each room a treasure,
but the greatest of all in my mind.
The army eternal who sleep silent waiting,
seek them but you'll never find.

Someone called the moon to ground,
someone stilled the trumpet sound.

No knights in Avalon,
they were here but now it's gone.

Witches in the fire glow,
twisting shadows moving too and fro.
Can't believe your eyes,
nightmare creatures they are true.

Feeling sorry but you're scared,
should of stopped them there,
but no one dared.
Morrigan is here,
now her finger points at you.

Holy rider,
can't you find a
spell that can
take me home?
oh yeah!
oh yeah!

Holy rider I need you,
please come take me away.

3. Apathy

What is wrong with the world today?
it seems caught in a mire.
Sinking in the quicksand,
and the walls are just getting higher.

Wonder when the rot set in?
It's a sin to waste your life.
On the road to nowhere,
living on the edge of a knife.

All the people lying around,
seems they just don't care.
Don't listen till you turn down the sound,
on soap TV and you better not dare.

Apathy!
In social classes,
Apathy!
brings us to our knees.
Apathy!
Brow beaten masses,
Apathy!
ha, this used to be my country.

Corroded by Apathy!
Eroded by Apathy!

They say jump, you say how high?
so desensitised.
Stagnate resigned to fate,
are you dumb or just hypnotised?

They make your mind right up for you,
blind submission got no views.
Seems to me everything you do,
leaves you permanently confused.

Least resistance,
turn a blind eye.
Do nothing at all,
won't vote or ponder why?
No wonder the world
has gone to the wall.

Apathy!
In social classes,
Apathy!
brings us to our knees.
Apathy!
Brow beaten masses,
Apathy!
ha, this used to be my country.

jump how high?
You are... corroded by Apathy!

Stagnated, dominated.
You are... eroded by Apathy!

4. Touch The Rainbow

When I look at my time,
justify this life of mine.
Nobody said it would be easy,
No one said anything at all.

I feel the darkness blacken my soul,
with uncertainty.
Whispering voices everyone has got it in for me.

I will keep trying... try!
I will aim for the stars,
there ain't no denying,
I will reach don't care how far.

The memories that I hold dear,
drive me on again.
Futility this nightmare reign,
has finally gotta end.

Touch the rainbow,
hear the thunder.
The song that never ends.
Unbelievers drag you under,
there's gold around the bend.

Don't let the bastards grind you down
Touch the rainbow.
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Touch the rainbow.

Everyone's doubting my own true beliefs,
with impunity.
Jackals shouting blacken my name,
It's a certainty.

I will die fighting... fight!
when all is said and done.
There ain't no denying,
I will learn to touch the sun.

No one cares,
how hard you try.
The doors are closed again,
but they won't last,
a sacred thought
the music still remains.

Touch the rainbow,
hear the thunder.
The song that never ends.
Unbelievers drag you under,
there's gold around the bend.

When all hope is gone,
we will find the strength to carry on.
When the cause seems lost,
only the brave won't fear to count the cost.
.... never fear!

Memories that I hold dear,
drive me on again.
Futility this nightmare reign
has finally gonna end.

Touch the rainbow,
hear the thunder.
The song that never ends.
Unbelievers drag you under,
there's gold around the bend.

5. Bedlam

In my cell,
cold alone.
confined by thoughts misery.
Trapped in a world,
of inner space.
Shadows they chaise after me.

Heaven help me,
nothing you can do to escape.
Suffer silence,
demons they won't go away.

Have to rot here,
and there ain't no happy ending.
I'm a madman and you know that I'm insane.
Here I go again...

Escape to fantasy.
where all is what cannot be.
Escape to fantasy!
Come with me.

Strapped in,
held tight.
Inside I languish and bleed.
I see spiders,
burrowing inside me they feed.
Voices hear them?
Finger nails scratching the wall.
Faces leering,
then I see nothing at all!

Now I know that there
ain't no use in pretending,
I will die here and I'll never get away.
...Here i go again!

Escape to fantasy.
where all is what cannot be.
Escape to fantasy!
Come with me.

Welcome to bedlam,
where nothings as it seems.
You know you belong here,
we hope you like the screams!

Your mind defies reason,
we'll shock you back soon.
So turn up the voltage,
inside the rubber room.
... oh no!

Hold him down.
Stand clear!
... lobotomise!

Here I go again!

Escape to fantasy.
where all is what cannot be.
Escape to fantasy!
Come with me.

6. Ascension

Prologue:
After the first "Dominator Wars," an uneasy peace settled upon the cosmos.
There were some disciples who wished to resurrect the dark lord... and Empire!

In darkest night,
the anvils pound.
Out of sight,
far beneath the underground.

Forged in fire,
steel wheels roll.
Baleful eyes,
that burn just like blackest coal.

Lords of Chaos,
prepare a shell.
Alchemy belongs to Hell.

Dominator shall rise again,
he shall live again!

Heads on spikes,
flesh will crawl.
Throne of power,
the dread lord rules over all.

Brutalise,
the final goal.
Liege of steel,
you shall bow one and all.

Fear made flesh,
meet the over mind.
Science and magic,
now combined.

Dominator shall rise again,
he shall live again!

He'll obliterate you,
devastate you.
A terrible eon,
that will never be surpassed.

Terminate you,
disintegrate you.
Now comes apocalypse,
the armies are amassed.

Winter's coming,
hard rain will fall.
Tyrants here,
God help you all.

Take to the hills,
and don't look back.
Draconian forces,
ready to attack.

Our galaxy,
will never be the same.
Again... not ever!

7. Gods Of War

Prologue:
The Earth had long been the Dominators unobtainable prize. This time he planned to take the planet by force at all cost.
It's defenders had been caught unaware at the speed of the tyrants rise to power, so in a last ditch effort plans were
made for a surgical strike at the heart of the intergalactic warlords dreaded armada.

Rally men the empire looms again,
while we sleep.
Our cities are in flame.

Someone stole genetic code,
the tyrants DNA is missing.
Legions mean to bring him back,
now man will rue this day.

Star fighters fly,
into hell one more time.
Here where worlds collide,
see them die.
But there dreams soar to the skies.

Too late to run and hide...

Gods of war!
They decide,
Gods of war!
Who lives or dies.

Scramble fast,
fight until the last.
Words are cheap,
diplomacy has past.

No one saw this conflict coming,
lines are drawn now in the sand.
Enemy power over running,
time to fall or stand.

Star fighters fly,
into hell one more time.
Here where worlds collide,
see them die.
But there dreams soar to the skies.

What we fighting for?
It's our last encore.
Game to the last,
as we lay down our lives.
No one said we'd win,
but we wont give in.
Down one more time,
none of us will survive.
.. It's game over!

Someone stole genetic code,
the tyrants DNA is missing.
Legions mean to bring him back,
now man will rue this day.

Star fighters fly,
into hell one more time.
Here where worlds collide,
see them die.
But there dreams soar to the skies.

8. Victim Of The Furies

Prologue:
As the battle raged on a thousand worlds cowered and cursed there fate under the tyranny of the Dominator's rule.

Can't fight his vengeance
from the grave,
nobody told me that our time was done.
Soon none of us are left to save,
the nightmare over now the end has come.

No time,
to cry.
The great despiser!

No place to run,
Victim of the furies.
Nowhere to hide,
Victim of the furies.

This is my final epitaph,
wheat to the slaughter.
can't escape his wrath.

Were lotus eating in decay,
mass troupes retreating,
fate I curse your name.

Surprised?
Now die.
The seers who failed us.

No place to run,
Victim of the furies.
Nowhere to hide,
Victim of the furies.

No time,
to cry.
The great despiser!

No place to run,
Victim of the furies.
Nowhere to hide,
Victim of the furies.

9. Judas

Prologue:
Betrayed and delivered into the Dominators clutches by the treacherous Osiran's.
The rebels cause seemed lost, but one brave soul escaped making a vow of eternal vengeance.

Here I am my fingers burned,
I gave everything,
you give nothing in return.

Demonised they curse my name,
I stood tall you ran,
but still I took the blame.

All those lies,
to save your skin.
Hypnotised,
fools were taken in.

Judas!
You betrayed me.
Judas!
you played me.
Judas!
you denied my trust,
Judas!
words cheap like dust.

Judas!
behind the mask.
Judas!
there's a maniac.
Judas!
knife in the back.
Judas!
ready to attack.

I got wise the worm has turned,
used my loyalty it got the best of me.
Vilified,
but your hands are stained.
I'll see you in hell before I have you back again.

Reptile smile,
traitors fate.
All the while,
your jealous rage of hate.

Judas!
You betrayed me.
Judas!
you played me.
Judas!
you denied my trust,
Judas!
words cheap like dust.

Judas!
behind the mask.
Judas!
there's a maniac.
Judas!
knife in the back.
Judas!
ready to attack.

Nowhere to hide,
never felt so exposed.
Nowhere to run,
in the spotlight alone.

(Judas!
You betrayed me.
Judas!
you played me.
Judas!
you denied my trust,
Judas!
words cheap like dust.

Judas!
behind the mask.
Judas!
there's a maniac.
Judas!
knife in the back.
Judas!
ready to attack.

Judas!
Judas!
Judas!
Judas!

You are a Judas.

10. Age Of Steel

Prologue:
Overthrowing most the known cosmos, the Dominator sent his cyborgs foots soldiers to subdue any subversive uprising.
It heralded the dawn of a new age of Steel!

See the metal men are marching,
bloodlust raging on the streets.
killing fields the bodies burning,
hopes crushed under iron feet.

It's a time for revolution,
as all moving parts stood still.
Battle droids final solution,
humans die so defy and kill.

Welcome to the age of Steel,
Cybernaught's they rise and conquer all.
Welcome to the age of Steel,
Time for man to stand and fight or fall.
Kingdoms fall!

Skull-crushers smash all resistance,
taking cities over everywhere.
Computerised heartless persistance,
genocide screams fill the air.

Ruthless plans harvested people,
an end to flesh don't think or feel.
Synthesised organic cyborgs,
collective thought cogs in a wheel.

Welcome to the age of Steel,
Cybernaught's they rise and conquer all.
Welcome to the age of Steel,
Time for man to stand and fight or fall.
Kingdoms fall!

Enslaved by technology,
we never saw this sorry dawn.
Machines plotted in secrecy,
for a new race to be born.

Do you call this progress?
You are obsolete...
Resistance is futile.
Prepare for mass extinction!

Welcome to the age of Steel,
Cybernaught's they rise and conquer all.
Welcome to the age of Steel,
Time for man to stand and fight or fall.
Kingdoms fall!
