1. Ascent To Decadence
People have called him a liar
Since the beginning of time
Keeper of endless desire
Leading the way for the blind
He stands at the foot of the mountain
Dwells by the shore of the sea
Cries at the forces about him
Pleading to let him be free
Ascent to decadence
The punishment for sloth
When spirits rise
And they're denied
They fade and die
They die
Prosper on tarnished illusion
Taking the easy way out
Trust in a shallow solution
Add one more miss to the count
Perilous quest for the timeless planet
Weight of the world on your back
Reach for the skies
Where your fortunes are kept
Don't let your demons betray you
And send you to demise
People have called him a liar
Since the beginning of time
Keeper of endless desire
Leading the way for the blind
2. Echoes Ring Forever
Riders of thunder
Against the storm we fly
Force across the obstacles
On the mountain high
Gravely they ponder
The overlord decides
Pointing out directions
For our course of life
We are rebels lost in time
Our opponents are sublime
But the echoes ring forever
Through all time
Lords of conclusion
Alliance of the wise
Designate the better
Through a common eye
Riders of thunder
Against the storm we fly
Force across the obstacles
On the mountain high
3. From Conscious Sleep
(инструментал)
4. Star-Crossed
Gave up the Earth to a treacherous kind
Proven superior with relentless might
They quench their thirst on the blood of their likes
Who suffer worse and forever will in death or life
Enforce the whole world with a wisdom profound
Of how to tread one's fellow man down
Dishonest means lead the way to the crown
And though he pleads he'll forever ever be
One more in the hands of mankind
Ravage the world far and wide
More fall in the path of mankind
Conquer and burn 'till no more is left to defile
When every land is raped with war
And blood is shed on every shore
When every source of life runs poor
What more?
Inside this wicked world
Pursuing our own kind
It's in your blood, it's in your head
Turn to the universe
A thousand wars to fight
It's in our blood until the end
The end
Bloodquest never ends
5. Escape The Crimson Sun
Astral arks
Float across the halls of the universe
The Odyssey of Man
Barren land
Withers in the shade of atomic night
Ashen desert sands
Lunar light
Guides the way as Jupiter's moons arise
Supernova surge
Crimson shine
Galaxies converge from afar and wide
Slowly they emerge
Fugitive from atomic storm
Escape the crimson Sun
And be reborn
Stars alight
To witness the return of terrestrial life
Witness our rebirth
Gather 'round
Children of the Earth
Join this cosmic ride back towards the Earth
Fugitive from atomic storm
Escape the crimson Sun
And be reborn
6. Pyromancer
Pyromancer
Give the answer
That we all have sought
Forge the flame with your witching hands
And let your word be taught
Pyromancer
Give the answer
That your mind withholds
Rumor tells of a wicked master
Whom you gave your soul
Rituals of clandestine
That no man has ever seen
Bring the truth into the light
This we all invoke
No one will believe
Your force of fire
Many will deceive
The imposed liar
Feed the flame of the Pyromancer
Pyromancer
Life enhancer
No one heeds your call
You forecast of a great disaster
As you've done before
7. Wicked Temptress
Black as night
Pale as morning
Through the mist she soon appears
Moon is bright
Gives no warning
Of danger closing in
Out she strides
From the shadows
Mystic temptress warm and fair
Eyes alight
Stare so hollow
Bracing force that draws you near
Fall into the fire
Senses override
Infamy incarnate has arrived
So red and bright
The sirens of the dawn
Enclose the mind
Trapped inside
The midnight shadow
Soaring in a restless state
Paralyzed
Fixed by poison
Can't escape her warm embrace
Swathed in darkness as she rides
Crimson eyes are shining bright
Wicked temptress in control
Burning power taking hold
8. By The Toll Of The Bell
When you walk through the cold wind and shadow
And you want to be free of it
Open your eyes
The veil breaks
Crushes all your hopes that you'll ever be free again
If you search for good signs of tomorrow
For an omen of hopefulness
See through the lies
Graves await
The ones who fall for the treachery
Lost forever
Thundering skies
Forces arise
Called by the toll of the bell
Wakens the wrath
Opens the path
Out of this morbid spell
When you're forced into slavery for evil
There's no way to break free of it
Hopeless desire
Hell reigns
To the point where all is malevolent
All shall suffer
Victims of unholy intervention
Raise your spirits from the deep
Let this tyranny control your minds no more
Waken up from conscious sleep
9. Monomania
Hide inside the gloom
When the wizards arrive
Demon's dance unfolds
In the flickering light
And the starlight choir
Echoes to the owls
Dancing 'round the fire
With the wolf they howl
Onward the moonlit trail they roam
Where the trees are tall and whispering their moan
Leaves coloured pale blue by the moon
When the wind relents, you hear them chant
"Time is coming soon"
And the starlight choir
Echoes to the owls
Dancing 'round the fire
With the wolf they howl
Then a light shines oh so bright
Blood runs cold and time stands frozen
Oh then a light shines up so bright
The long-awaited time has come – now
Through the night
Flying higher
Take us to the darkest of desires
Kill the light
Quench the fire
Force of lust becomes so strong
Take our souls and we'll go on without
