1. Beneath A Veil Of Crying Souls

As it was written
So it will come to pass
Words of wisdom
Rhymes of ancient, forever last

Someone up high
Bring me some light
Give mean answer
Tell me what's right

Am I about to lose my soul?
Am I a sinner? I need to know!

We walk in darkness
Light our way
The grace of mankind
Has gone astray

Chaotic guidance, makes no sense

At the crossroad of life
I don't know where to go from here
The words of wisdom
Leads to nowhere, just leaves me in
Fear

Someone up high
Illuminate my path
Selfish preaching
Tales that never lasts?

Am I about to lose my soul?
Am I a sinner? I need to know!

Chaotic guidance, makes no sense
The road to paradise
Lies hidden beneath a veil of crying souls

2. Follow

Close your eyes, clear your mind
Embrace the darkness, let go of time

Listen to the voice of mine
See the world through the eyes of a blind

All is silent, the dark is total
A tranquil rest for your mind

Listen to the voice of mine
It's time to take you back in time

Keep searching
Search deep within yourself – "just follow"
Just follow
The voice of your conscience – it will guide you right

Find the root, to all that is evil
To all your sins. the mistakes, vicious deeds

Listen to the voice of mine
Relive your sins and the dread of your crimes

Keep searching
Search deep within yourself – "just follow"
Just follow
The voice of your conscience – it will guide you right

Listen to the voice of mine
Hell awaits!

3. Babylon

Welcome to hell, to the alley below
My castle of fire, my humble abode
Inhale the flames of rot and decay
My will is the law, you will do as I say

Defy me, you die, bow to me, on your knees
Surrender your soul, it won't hurt you won't bleed
Sinners and liars, I welcome you all
No angels allowed, leave your wings by the door

Babylon – land of shame
Long since gone – who's to blame?
Babylon – land of joy
Drowned in fire – cleansed from sin?

Welcome to heaven, paradise for souls
The answer to dreams. my kingdom of gold
I am god, I work in mysterious ways
My will is the law, you must do what I say

Never stray from my path, and all shall be well
Deviate from my way and I'll send you to hell
Suffer through life with no pleasures at all
Sinners and liars I damn you to fall

Babylon – land of shame
Long since gone – who's to blame?
Babylon – land of joy
Drowned in fire – cleansed from sin?
Do with your life as you please
Nothing is wrong, the will it is free
As long as you do it for him
Pleasure his needs

The truth of the matter if truth shall be told
I take vengeance on mankind, you'll plead cry then fold
To the whims of my will you suffer the end
You're all played like pieces let darkness descend
So it has been written, just as it's been told!

4. Within A Dream

A ray of light hit my eyes
I awake within a dream
I see myself, in mourn I cry
Why the sorrow, what have I seen?
As I look to the sky
I raise my hands and scream
Tell me now, the reason why
You have forsaken me

In him we trust and we believe him
In absolution, salvation, to live forever
In him we trust and still we're bleeding
We have to suffer to attain the grace of god

Alone, forsaken in a barren land
Charred by fire long since gone
Ripped from shelter, gods hand
A musty smell so hideously strong
As I look to the sky
I raise my hands and scream
Tell me now, the reason why
You have forsaken me

In him we trust and we believe him
In absolution, salvation, to live forever
In him we trust and still we're bleeding
We have to suffer to attain the grace of god

5. Ares

When hurt turns to anger
All in black to the eyes
As tears turn to blood
The visions, they lie!

All control is lost
Trapped within a shell
A soul inside a body
Paralyzed it dwells

No sign of light
No hope of life

What has befallen me?
Are you controlling me?
Ares god of anger!

A curse from heaven sent?
I beg to understand!
Ares god of anger!

A powerless strive
To ease the hatred
To calm the common sense
All in vain, time is wasted

The eyes are blind
Actions unaware
Possessed by the mind
"I did not mean to, I swear "

6. Absence Of Light

In a hall of a thousand mirrors
Reflecting all I have ever done
A corridor of ignorance
At the end there's a window
A misty view of what is to come

In the sky the clouds are gathering
Absence of light, I am afraid
I don't know why, don't know how
I was lost, alone and astray

Where am I
Where am I heading
I walk in circles
I see no end

Absence of light
All I see is darkness
Absence of light
All I see is nothing!

A faint light, far in the distance
A skyline of a land never seen
Lacking clarity and form
Enchanting heath in between

Where am I
Where am I heading
I walk in circles
I see no end

Absence of light
All I see is darkness
Absence of light
All I see is nothing!

7. Death Embrace

I look into these empty eyes
Reflection of the souls is gone
Never again to see the light
Nor close shut to the sun

Once so strong and full of life
Chasing visions and dreams

The time has come to close your eyes
Spread your wings, the journey begins

Soar high, windless empty skies find your way
Sail on misty crimson clouds death embrace

The end is here, the edge of time
It's time to free the soul from pain
Let go of life, give up the fight
Rest assured, some day we'll meet again

8. Dance Of The Damned

It dwells deep within
Where shadows are born
Where darkness hiding sins
Never dusk, never dawn

I see no light
Weak silhouettes
Dance on the wall
Forever no end

The dance of the damned!

Unholy spirits
Imaginary beings
Progeny of twisted dreams
Nothing's what it seems

I see no light
Weak silhouettes
Dance on the wall
Forever no end

The dance of the damned!

Forever and ever
Never ending dark
Eternal nocturnal
Never ending dark

I see no light
Weak silhouettes
Dance on the wall
Forever no end

The dance of the damned!

Forever and ever
Never ending dark
Eternal nocturnal
Never ending dark

9. Spirit World

So Tired, I Fall asleep
Embraced by peace and calm
I feel a soothing breeze
Angels descending, a light divine I see
The peace and calm is gone
I begin to realize, they're coming for me

I see you
Can you feel me?
I'm standing next to you
I reach out
I try to touch you
Like a mist I walk through you

I am calling your name
Save me from this state of fear, the burning flames

Release me from the spirit world
Back to life, I will hold on

I'm so near you
Why can't you hear me?
I can't get through to you
I'm screaming
There's no sound
Is there a way out?
I wish I knew

I am calling your name
Save me from this state of fear, the burning flames

Release me from the spirit world
Back to life, I will hold on

No no no, I'll never hurt a soul again
Please release me from these chains

10. Timeless Dreaming

In pain I suffer, I bleed
Unbearable, I lack control
I'm paralyzed I cannot leave
It is tearing down my soul

...Tearing down my soul!

In dark I walk this maze of ancient
A rotten smell of shattered dreams
An altar stone, a soul so patient

Treasures of gold
Writings on the wall

Timeless dreaming
Endless wait
Soul is healing
Reincarnate

A veil of light, a breeze so cold
A bed of stone on holy ground
The deepest sleep to rest the soul
To cleanse the spirit, let it heal

A quilt of dust – so far below

Timeless dreaming
Endless wait
Soul is healing
Reincarnate

11. Millenium Lie

Hollow, empty, broken inside
Beaten by life in darkness I hide
The word's been spoken since the day that he died
Maintained consistent or ominous lies?

Altered by time?
Altered by man?

Millennium lie

Confused and weary I'm lost in my mind
Deceived and mislead in this non exit maze
The righteous rhyme, a guiding light – still I'm blind
The words of grace feeding sorrow and hate

Altered by time?
Altered by man?

Millennium lie

12. Gypsy

Once before, back in time
I came to you, in your world
You found your way into my mind
You read my lines, my future you saw and heard

I need to know what is to be – tell me now!

You saw my fate, you saw my life
I saw your face and the sadness in your eyes
You never told me the reason why you cried
You said it's nothing I know it was a lie

I need to know what is to be – tell me now!

In darkness, forever I'm bound to stay – never free
Those are your words? – gipsy
