1. Dive To Nowhere

On thinnest edge
On hopeless brink of yearning gulf
Beyond the moonless depth
Under indifferent looking pale-grey shies

Convulsive flame
It's blazing up and dying out
No echo keeps your scream
The air dissolves your weak and helpless cry

The worm of fear
Is devouring naked trembling soul
It's growing up, it's rising
Swelling, loosing all control

Obscurity touches me with its sticky hands
On (the) brink of (the) gaping chasm I stand

Dive to nowhere
Dive to nowhere
Dive to nowhere
Moonless depth accept my soul

The gripe of despair
Compressing wounded bleeding heart
Steel tourniquet of horror
Ensnares your neck and rips your soul apart

Torn dirty clouds
Are rushing near in silent rage
Their contours are full of menace
Their jerky movements take your breath away

Maelstrom of thoughts
Is flashing by inside the head
Kaleidoscope of memories
Is broken down and fade away

Obscurity touches me with its sticky hands
On (the) brink of (the) gaping chasm I stand

Dive to nowhere
Dive to nowhere
Dive to nowhere
I am soaring to unknown

Dissolving views
In misty twilight
Teel me everything I feel
They describe me what is real
In (the) liquid air
In (the) endless spaces
Soaring over the cold world
I'm flying into unknown

Thousand worlds are rushing near
Remaining far away
Thousand years are passing over
Vanish without trace
Suddenly the world of silence
Comes into my soul

2. Machines Deadly Breath

I. The power, the scorching grinding power
All-seeing and blind – the furious moving tower
Machine of hate, it cannot stop if started
You're not a man, you're only human target

You'd better to disappear
Dissolve into the air
One second more – will be too late
Machine now wants the seal your fate

I know it's coming
I see it's rising
I hear it's grinding
I feel machine's deadly breath

Take away my eyes I can't see it
Cannot stand
Machine's deadly breath
Take away my ears I can't hear it
Take my nerves away – can't endure
Machine's deadly breath

II. Eradicator – live flesh disintegrator
Its roaring near, psychotic violator
You hear its heavy steps get closer
You see the shapeless shadow prepare to slaughter

If crushes with no remorse
It leaves you no one choice
Steel jaws will taste your fragile flesh
Machine will come and shred your brains

No one can give you a shelter
Steel grip is closing down upon your neck
There is no way out, but only way to suffer
Machine will finish it without delay

No help from anywhere
Machines reducing helpless being to ashes
There is no force what can conquer the monster
Only the bar inside (you) can bring it down

3. Envenomed By Reality

Pain
Inside me
Surrounding my mind
It's burning
Like melting fire
Within my soul
I'm screaming
I cannot stand against it

I'm inhaling the poison
Drinking the venom from the air
This place doesn't fit me
But I'll stay here if I am spared

It spoils
It cuts
What's this?
What's up?

I was searching
For truth
I wanted to see its face
Its temper
At last I found it, but so vile
So loathsome
The truth appeared before my eyes
That now I prefer to hear a lie

It spoils
It cuts
What's this?
What's up?

4. Wall Of Solitude

I'm behind the wall isolating my existence
I cannot touch it, but so much the worse I feel (it)
This wall encircles me and now I know
There is no gate, there is no door and there is no way out
No way out

Time is hardly trickling
Living in a glass prison
Emptiness I feel
Loneliness hilling me

I take a hammer, I deal a blow
Nothing before me, my strikes (are) falling through the void
I can't destroy this wall, I cannot see it, I cannot touch it
But I know I'm within a glass retort

And I'm completely sphered
That's only what I feel

I holly speaks but no one hear my speeches
I scream but cry is weakly dying out
The people from outside can't hear my nameless call,
They are looking through my face, and void in their eyes
In their eyes

5. Captive Of Madness

I can run but still I'm in chains
I'm falling into obsession
I feel a demon inside me
He controls my fevered mind

I don't belong to myself
Captive of madness

Sense
Is tossed aside
Stamped on
Incinerated

Disharmony in my twisted subconsciousness
Distorted perception of disordered mind

Avalanche of unruled desires
Sweeps away common sense like a void shell
I look into myself and I see
Abyss full of deformed shadows

I don't know who I am
Captive of madness

I'm clinging to remains of shattered sanity
Demon's gaining the upper hand over my will

I'm sinking into deepest mineshaft
Millions eyes are staring from darkness
Loathsome worm ravenous and greedy
Is devouring my maimed brain

Can't go back to reality
Captive of madness

6. Betrayed

Victimized, paralyzed
It grips your soul, it burns your helpless mind

Every word of lies you'd heard
Was like a strike of a hammer
Every moment, every blink
Was like a nail driven in a cross
Every glance kept poison
Every grin brought hatred
Forlorn you stand –
You know you're betrayed

Broken down, thrown out
They crushed you life, reduced your heart to ashes

Everything you had believed
Was suddenly turned inside out
Everything you used to know
Came tumbling down in a wink of eye
Every case is false-bottomed
Every thing changed color
So curse'em all
You know you're betrayed

Confusion comes to your lonely heart
Your desolate soul is ripped apart

7. Beyond The Horizon

Fragments of mosaic have formed entire picture
Spiral of evolution has made the next new turn
Structures of terrestrial being produced irreversible changes
Substance has uncovered its unexpected points

The questions remain the same
Unknown dimensions tempt my soul
My hands don't forget sword handle
My thorny way crosses the horizon

This thin and distant line
Awake the spirit, makes it rising
Inquisitive gaze rips open mass of endless skies
On stratospheric fields
On secret spaces beyond the clouds
I gain entirety, I catch the rays of light

Chaos of cosmic hate and blind destructive impulses
It's so hard to stay alive in constant flow of death
Doctrines of hackneyed ritual won't ever break my will down
Fire of restless spirit will blaze upon the earth

Forgotten instincts
Are awakening again

The scars on ancient surface
Are bleeding as before
Eternal sands will close up
My footsteps as I'm gone

Transcending borders
(Of) domesticated world

Another seal was broken
Another hero's dead
Another life was stolen
Another trust's been said

An endless cycle,
The circle (of) birth and death

Tell me the truth
Tell me something
About my future and past
Lost in spaces
Of the savage lands
Will I pass all of them alive?
Years of search, ages of wondering
In chase of elusive phantom
The front line between earth and skies
(Is) as far as before

Order of subsistence (is) like everlasting grinder
Charon awaits our souls to take to the other side
This game has complicated rules and regulations
But I exactly know that next turn is mine

8. The Tower Of Babel

This tower is higher than mountains
And it's piercing the skies
Its spires would shine in darkness
Beyond the clouds
Forbidden rebellious instincts
Are rising again
Creation of the human spirit
Is growing high into the air

Indeterminable collision
Barriers will fall under daring rush
Providential decision
The black colossus is doomed to tumble down

That tower now in ruins
All traces are gone
Eternal sands have devoured
Remains of the walls
All blocks of firmest stone
Have mouldered away
But someone will be building it over and over
Again and again

A daring challenge to the fate
Won't be lost for nothing
And everyone's erecting spires
Of his own Babylon tower
And though these towers will tumble down
But the new ones will rise
Eternal spiral with no end
The constant flow of life

9. Egypt

оригинал: Mercyful Fate

Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul in your hands
O Thou, God of the Dead
Lead my soul to the judgement hall
O Thou, Jackal Head
Weigh my soul, I await your call
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Ammit, Eater of the Dead
Is devouring my heart
Will I pass on to Aaru
Or will I be condemned?
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I must be back on time
But still I want to know
I hope they let me go
I'm from another time
And I must reunite
My body and my soul
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul in your hands
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Egypt come back to me
Egypt come back to me
Egypt, without beginning or end
