1. Revival
I dream
I dream awake
I feel awake
After all these years
These thousands of years
The gaping chasm – it starts to pulse
Like never before
And wounds once scarred
burst open wide
There is magic in each and every
Wave of hand
Growing stronger by day
Getting darker by hour
I better not look you in the eye
So human, defenceless
Simple and sane
Godlike, craving, naked
Unquestioned, unrivalled, safe
I better not look you in the eye
Not in the eye...
2. Crimson Hours
Worms devoured the flesh
As words ate minds
Through sacred passages
Hypnotic rhymes
Tomes of deception
I wiped of dust
And cracked locks open
With demonic lust
It looms before me...
The light has been failing since dawn
Pages ripped and ravaged
From their womb
Dark whispers echo screams
Of those entombed
This hand that scorched the book
And raped the halls
Will paint a manifest of war
On flaming walls
It looms before me...
The light has been failing since dawn
Noctiferous rites – bring me pain!
In blackened rain we rage
Unable to constrain
The furious joy the smell of blood
Brings for the insane
The hour?s near, wreak havoc
Thus hope is vain
Destroy them all, burn them all
Tear down the walls
And let the darkness fall
In crimson hours we are alive once more
The flames will rise
Like thousands of years before
The light has been failing since dawn
The call for the darkness to fall
3. When Death You Takes
The nature of macabre?s being
Intriguing me since birth
Aesthetic wounds inflicted
Evil that walks the earth
What brings about malignance
Inevitable death
Hands that caress that slender neck
Till lungs are out of breath
Funeral cold is chilling mortal souls
Rejoyce! magnificent and old
No man survives the hour he wakes
Then morning breaks
And death you takes
A slice across the arteria
So simple in effect
A mortal life evaporates
All vain in retrospect
That overwhelming frenzy
Dividing limb from limb
Despite the pleas for mercy
Magnificent and grim
Funeral cold...
The nature of macabre?s being
Intriguing me since birth
Aesthetic wounds inflicted
Lust suffocating earth
What brings about salvation
Inevitable death
Fangs that feast on slender necks
Till not a drop is left
4. My Plague Upon You
Hand of hatred
Sweeps across the land
It crushes the bravery of Man
Once forgotten
Now feared to death
Woe to all who tried to make a stand
Absolution – beg and plead!
Disillusioned – scream for me!
Fiendish saviour
Wields a flaming scythe
It pardons both blighted soul and mind
Piles of corpses
Left behind
Worship him, the leader of the blind
All these questions – answered safe!
Once enlightened, mortals, tremble and despair!
My plague upon you
Spreading wings
Destroying dreams
And drowning screams
Welcome nowhere, enter void
Live in death you now enjoy
Reborn
All these questions...
My plague upon you...
5. Spiral Swirls
Hold back your fire, it circles the trees
Where they will find you down on your knees
Away they look in fear and distrust
Feel for these mortals, for follow they must
And the spiral that gave birth
To the manifold of failures
Swirls once more to make you complete
Swirls once more to make you complete
Hold back your tongue, the venomous blade
It?s clandestine magic can give you away
Away you took their mask of disgust
Away you shook the layer of rust
Burning poison flows through thee
Half unconscious drowning deep
In the morning though it dawns
You can dream on curtains drawn
And the spiral that spat forth
The vengeful souls of angels
Swirls once more to beckon thee
Swirls once more to beckon thee
Hold back your fire, it scorches their eyes
Watching the pyre, stripped of disguise
The wind blows away ashes and dust
Feel for these mortals, they?ll follow your lust
Burning poison...
6. Black Breath
Furious wisdom rides a steed pitch-black
Onward it rides to claim the lost world back
Indeed! What now is whole and complete
From dawn of time has suffered no defeat
Angel devious
Cold black breath
Wrath oblivious
To your death
Perfection glorified with grief
Revealed a flash of darklight brief
Alas! The pestilence to wipe mankind
Is idly waiting now for the next birth divine
Angel devious...
Benefactress
Tattered wings
Soaked with justice
That she brings
Demonic vengeance reaped all souls
Brought down with no apparent reason cold
Chimera and will to conquer all combined
Through everlasting death has us revived
Angel devious...
7. Pulse
(инструментал)
8. Sirens Calling
Sirens calling you ashore
Harbouring the bones of weary
And demanding more
Mouth concealing vicious teeth
Ocean finds another prey
And open up it?s jaws
Hypothermia numbs your mind
Freezing waves rising high
Blotting out the sky
Icy fingers drag you down
Panic strikes, you cease to fight
And greet the salty mound
Vanquishing trumpets herald your fall
Legions salute you, ready to crawl
Claim your throne, join the feast
Worship yourself as you worshipped the beast
Suffocation bursting lungs
Images – lifetime of failure
Pass before your eyes
There down under silence reigns
Tranquil depths of solitude
Where redemption lies
Vanquishing trumpets..
9. Ei Ühtegi Orja
Tasaselt tund liigub elutööst ette
Mälestus suikub kui vajuvas vees
Enesekaitseks lood enesepette
Looritud pilk otsib juhendust eest
Sõnad ka suured ei varja selgrootust
Süda kui värvuksel väreleb sees
Sellegipoolest on ikka veel lootust
Ehk sinust viimaks kordki saab mees
Ei ühtegi orja!
Kätketud kõigis on elujõu säde
Võrdluses teeseldu tuhmub kui kuld
Säde lööb leekima, sütitab väge
Ihu ja hingega võta sest tuld
Kaua ta oodata enam ei läbe
Elu kui avatud raamat su ees
Kandikul tõde kui enam ei päde
Ehk sinust viimaks kordki saab mees
Ei ühtegi orja!
Ei ühtegi orja!
Tapke kõik teelt!
Veri kui varjutab taevalaotust
Vankuma lüüa võib mehine meel
Proovikiviks on raskeimgi kaotus
Enesekindlus tapku kõik teelt
Vaenukeeled kui unustad sootuks
Maailm saab mõtte su enese sees
Ja ma ei varjagi ärevat ootust
Sest sinust viimaks kordki saab mees
