1. Oranges & Lemons
(intro)
2. Nescience
Come and play with me
In my twisted sanctuary
A horrid little playground
Where I set the rules
You shall be the next in line
I'll just hide inside my shrine
You must feed on the divine
I breed on your nescience
Come and praise me, like a god
Glorify me, in the name of...
...and I stared through
The darkness of this world
And I saw in the shadows
The unseen
And I felt apron-strings
In baleful hands
Trying to pull me
Like a lifeless marionette
Come and play with me
There is something you must see...
Hear me sing my nursery rhyme
For your infantile mind
You shall be the next in line
I'll just hide inside my shrine
You must feed on the divine
I breed on your nescience
Come and burn me, bring me down
I'm eternal, in the name of...
...and I stared through
The darkness of this world
And I saw in the shadows
The unseen
And I felt apron-strings
In baleful hands
Trying to pull me
Like a lifeless marionette
"Here comes a candle
To light you to bed
Here comes a chopper
To chop off your head!"
I stared through
The darkness of this world
And I saw in the shadows
The unseen
And I felt apron-strings
In baleful hands
I won't let you,
I shall amputate you!
3. Burn
My dominion lives forevermore
And serves your punishment
And burning clouds that live folklore
Are crying for your content
But soon their cry will end
I am the light
Your guide-dog without his sight
Follow my lead
Let me hear you plead...
Burn, burn...endlessly
Burn, burn...for my feast
Burn, burn...burn, burn...burn!
Let your children play, laugh and sing
And make my ears bleed
Taste the joy, spread your wings
And flourish from my seeds
Then pay for your deeds
I am the light
Your guide-dog without his sight
Follow my lead
Let me hear you plead...
Burn, burn...endlessly
Burn, burn...for my feast
Burn, burn...burn, burn...burn!
Stand there and see
It's me who gives
And me who takes
Suffer and bleed
Your mortal sins
Will feed the snakes
Praise me again
I want to hear you
Chant my name...
Stand there and see
It's me who gives
And me who takes
Suffer and bleed
Your mortal sins
Will feed the snakes
Praise me again
I want to hear you
Chant my name...
Crown me king
And hear me sing...
Lalalalala...lalala lalala...
Burn, burn...endlessly
Burn, burn...for my feast
Burn, burn...burn, burn...burn!
4. The Doll House
Floating down the stream of conceit
My dark sides, awaken, they bleed
I try to still my sinister fears
In this hideous doll house
I use to dwell...
The curtains have fallen
Like a funeral shroud
No turning back now, I have to go see
What lies beyond, what lies beyond
Visions pass through me
Spirits, dolls...get out!
As I entered the room of darkness
They said to me"
"Close your eyes,
There's nothing to be seen
You'll play blind..."
As I entered the room of silence
They said to me"
"Cover your ears,
There's nothing to be heard
You'll play deaf..."
As I entered the room of demise
They said to me"
"Come and lay down with the others
You'll play dead..."
And we speak the silent way...
Seldom words of wisdom
And we speak the tongues of god
Follow us as so did they...
And we see the neon lights
Speechless figures with blindfold on
As they feed us deep inside
With the "purest" lies of black
And I shall not fall
And I shall not hear
Your putrid words anymore
Only the whispers
Of my god forsaken soul
I'm running back
In each and every room
With open eyes and ears
(I'm into tears)
The walls are closing all around
The walls of my insanity!
And we see the neon lights
Speechless figures with blindfold on
As they feed us deep inside
With the "purest" lies of black
5. Mirror Of Memories
Near the edge of the world
A doomed city lies
One kingdom lost
By sorcery and evil
Unholy powers
Gathered inside
From heathen prayers
Into the mirror of memories
The mirror stands shining
Beyond the city's gates
Devouring the memories
From the verdant
That dare to see their fate
Lost within the doors of time
As the mirror becomes so divine
A city forgotten on earth's face
While it's people live
In an empty maze...
"And so it shall be done
By the masters of chaos...
The prayers are answered
The blessing is given
No one shall come
And reveal the truth...
No one will leave
With his memories regained"
No one can break the spell
Unless the mirror is broken
But if an unaware shall dare
No one shall be forgiven
The stolen knowledge and memories
Prisoned inside the mirror's walls
Free again they'll haunt your mind
And scream through your soul
Lost within the doors of time
As the mirror becomes so divine
A city forgotten on earth's face
While it's people live
In an empty maze...
6. Scenes Of Old
Have you ever woke up one day
And felt that everything is cold and empty
Without meaning, without hope,
Without rhyme or reason
And as the night turns into day
I try to walk away
But nightmares come
To make their play
I guess this time
They're back to stay
Have I been holding on the past
Hiding behind a faceless mask?
Let me wipe away the tears
Make a new beginning...
Release me from the scenes of old
Any god will do...
I can't feel inside
For how long can I hide
Let death be my bride
Let me cross the Great Divide
Have you ever felt the anger
Enfolding you
Making you lose control
I could never see...until now
My dark side unveiling
And as the night turns into day
I slowly drift away
As nightmares come
To make their play
I guess this time
They're back to stay
Have I been holding on the past
Hiding behind a faceless mask?
Let me wipe away the tears
Make a new beginning...
I can't feel inside
For how long can I hide
Let death be my bride
Let me cross the Great Divide
I can't feel inside
For how long can I hide
Let death be my bride
Let me cross the Great Divide
7. I Bleed
Through the crevice of mental walls
I touch the vague feelings of sadness
In the twilight of my madness
I bleed my soul again...
I bleed my soul again...
I bleed my soul again...
Beyond this vale of tears and sorrow
Deadly paleness veils my dawn
I plunge into the burning ocean
To sear the wounds of grief...
I bleed my soul again...
I bleed my soul again...
I start to subside, I feel I'm denied
Infernal fire feeds
This dreadful dream
Oh, it's so hard to feel...
Reflections of the past come
And drift away...
I bleed my soul again...
I bleed my soul again...
I bleed my soul again...
I bleed my soul again...
8. A Sick Man's Dreams / Blissful Hell
In this darkest hour
When the mind deceives
And dim shades crawl
When true beliefs are splintered
And all the norms are flayed
In this darkest hour
I cross the line to the other side
Let us hide behind the veil
Created by our own illusions
Welcome to my blissful hell
I shall open the gates for the advent
Welcome to my blissful hell
Welcome to the place called
Reality
We seek the light of wisdom
The mystic figure
The wisest of the wise
So we follow the silent voices
That guide the sun at dawn
Through the rupture
Where life bleeds once more
I bury the secrets I've found
I ravel within in a place I can't feel
Waiting to open the final act...
Welcome to my blissful hell
I shall open the gates for the advent
Welcome to my blissful hell
Welcome to the place called
Insanity...
Insanity...
Insanity...
9. Hell Within
I cannot see the sun from here
My sight is fading
I gash my flesh
I'm bleeding slowly
The bloodstained floor
Reflecting crimson
The sky turns black
I'm falling into the abyss...
Where am I?
What is this place?
Endless hollow time
Beyond the edge of nothingness
Perspective reflections
Rapid projections of the past
Spiral stairs descending
Into shades of gray I slip away...
Deadlights' rays open
Windows into eternity
Delusions of reality
Chaotic stark insanity
Darkness...
Dark shadows fall
Foreboding fear
Is choking me
I breath...
I breath the darkened air
Vaporous form flows into me
A haunt within of the unseen
Eternal vision haunting still...
Avenging angels
Dark screams descend
Their bleeding wings
Dark Erinnyes
Engulf my weary soul
Traverse waves of iridescent light
Break this gloomy fragile night
A blackclad figure with fallen wings
Divine yet mortal she speaks to me...
See through me and gaze the light
Pure aura so warm and bright
Your withered mind is whispering
I am you...(you are me)
You are a lost soul
But you shall be redeemed
If you see the face
You must embrace...
"Look at yourself in the mirror
This is only a frantic dream"
I look at myself in the mirror...
Is this only a frantic dream?
Nothing numbs the pain
Anymore...oh, please...
Let me fade, slip away
Become one with the infinite
I don't want to be alone anymore
No one can hear me
No one can feel me
I'm lurking in the shadows
Crying in despair
I'm twisting, I'm drowning
I'm loosing myself
I look in the mirror
But I am not there...
My hope slowly dies
As I fade away in darkness
My disembodied spirit
Is all what's left of me
A tormented soul
An empty formless entity
I shall be forevermore
Haunted within...
10. War & Pain
(бонус)
The blood has spread around
The demons have arrived
Your light dies down
Waiting to be revived
Desires of your flesh
Are flowing to me now
The same song that fawns
Your dreams are not that loud
War and pain
The fear of a hollow scream
All I've gained are crying
For a dream
All I've gained are crying
For a dream
I can't stop dreaming of me
The places I've been
Are merging in the sea
Revealing reality
I hear your subtle shape
The one you left behind
I see your twisted voice
The one that blows your mind
The pain that you treasure
The lost but never found
The way you went through
All the theories abound
War and pain
The fear of a hollow scream
All I've gained are crying
For a dream
War and pain
The fear of a hollow scream
All I've gained are crying
For a dream
Asinine mentors
In your lonely path
The war is over
But not its aftermath
The dreams
The lies are in an endless line
Your fears
Your cries are going to be mine
War and pain
The fear of a hollow scream
All I've gained are crying
For a dream
Waaar!
