Where something coming from?
Coming through invisible the dark
Calling evil in me, when devil and angel
Suffers wicked torture together,
I'm going to change
From dark of black night,
Blood of necrobeast at witching hour
Is this a retaliation of the God?
Or death a conduct of Satan
Angel's smile crumbles down,
Which shall I see, heaven or hell?
Night of metamorphosis,
Coming into my void
In the dark of the immortal
Bringing me a terrible time,
Hell going to change, my soul
Metamorphosed my body, my mind,
Makin' the shadow of insane scene
Is this a retaliation of the God?
Or death a conduct of Satan
Devil's smile also crumbles down,

Born selfish and ignorant
Abd my school gave me knowledge
But never any wisdom
And in addition the television programmed my brain
Through it's constant repetition
Misdirected infected with mundane roles and goals and heroes
And althought life really has purpose
I wasted my youth in a social circus
Told what is best for me
But I've seen their destiny
Our leaders ignominy
Reconfirm my concern to rearrange and change my life
I'll vow
I'll vow right here
And now no more time wasting just edification purification
We can direct our future
This life, this life has no meaning
Unless we grow
I know there's no use for all this screaming
Unless we grow
Born foolish dull and shelf absorbed
But my life's dedicated to reformation and education
In a nation that thinks great pleasure is a Disney vacation
I never fit in to their system
I couldn't understand people
Wasting their time with so called love
And ddrugs and occupations
While outside the window is a crumbling nation
So I searched for sincerity and lost popularity
Well what do they want from me?
If I lost friends they never were my friends at all!
To find the real me through introspection
And austerity is my life's mission my ambition
I've got a vision to change my destiny
Things don't change - we must change

Raising wonderful hell
Seems to be all that you want to
Seems to be all that you can do now
Raising wonderful hell
Seems to be all that you have to do
Seems to be all that is there for you
Raising wonderful hell
I cannot not relieve you
Of this burden so blue
How I’m gonna save you
I can’t besiege myself to god
I’ve save my life to crawl
Why can’t you see what’s left to die
Why can’t you see I let you fly
I shall remake you as you were
I try to see things not too late
I stare to see me let you cry
I can’t just simply let you die
I told the story about the pain
I tell the baby not to gain
I can’t believe all left to die
Why can’t we see what’s sad
And it makes me you alone
I stare myself to still
Leave when it bleeds
Spare me of your liberty

Part 1: Decent
Deep underground it lies hidden and waits
A demon seed man or beast a tragic fate
A dark secret of one thousand years
An experiment with life
It revealed a deeper fear mans eternal strife
Something went wrong so they hid the truth from it's eyes
They starved it of knowledge bound it's hands and fed it on lies
Deep in it's mind thoughts are suspended in hate
A frozen tomb earth's womb a dire state
Who am I what am I where am I
I cannot see I cannon feel I can't believe this is not real
A dark secret hidden far underground buried and left to die
But time revealed a deeper fear it was still alive
Part 2: Awaken
The creature stirs and slowly lifts its head
Not knowing whether it's alive or dead
It sees it's reflection but cannot believe
That the thing it sees before it has not one but two bodies
I can feel you we seem joined at the spine
So this is the reason they hid their crime
Are you just a part of me or can you hear my call
We must break free my silent twin and amaze them all
Rise
We can if we try leave this hell we share
To leave to break free to get somewhere
The deed is undone and the surface awaits
But she fell from his grasp as the earth began to quake
Deeper she fell until out of sight so he was left alone to face an eternal night
Part 3: Union
Lying on broken ground in the shadows never to be found
Her daylight's night her world is cold
Her spirit's lost a soul was sold
A memory from birth or was it just a dream
For in this world nothing is as it seems
His somber face passes by feigns disgrace and dares to try
Offering a word gets blank surprise
Offering herself he complies
He lifts her up she withers in his hands
No words spoken for eyes understand
He lifts her up to carry her away from the darkness to the light of day
Across the fields of souls forgot through mountains of pain
To the place paradise lost through the driving rain
He sheltered she but they did not know that she gave him life and so now he must go
Part 4: Solace
various sounds and chaos
Part 5: Ascent
Skin to skin upon the ocean they embrace and sink into the sea
Two became one but one had the notion
To live for their self and be free
Up from the depths a force it came the two that were one
Were now not the same one spread its wings and began to fly
One drifted away and began to die
Become yourself and all that you are
Set your sights no matter how far
Become yourself and all that you are
Set your sights
Set your sights no matter how far
Become yourself and all that you are
Set your sights no matter how far
Become yourself

Lyrics: E. Rosvold

See me become a snake
Wrapped around your neck...
See me become a spike
Pushed deep in your flesh...
Feel me become a tongue
Gliding softly down your spine...
Feel me become the essence
That makes you cry...
But there's one thing
You have to know
When you awake
Don't be surprised
'Cos you won't be alive
Watch me become that moment
That really matters in your life...
Watch me become the relic
That means so much to you...
But there's one thing
You have to know
When you awake
Don't be surprised
'Cos you won't be alive
Hear me become a cry
That means a thousand words in one...
And hear me as I whisper so low
That you won't dare to breathe...
See me become a snake
Wrapped around your neck...
See me become a spike
Pushed deep in your flesh...
See me become the one
Who sees behind your eyes...
And see me become the night

[February 2002 - The Locusts]

Do you remember me Lord?
You're gonna find out I am a bug
Crawling up and down your spine
We're gonna fuck it up together
And make it mine
Do you remember me Lord?
Mother, help me find myself alone
Do you wish to help me find a home
Metamorphosis
Do you remember me?
‘Cause I'm a freaky baby
Well can't you see?
Crawling up and down your spine
We're gonna fuck it up together
And make it mine
Do you remember me?
Mother, help me find myself alone
Father, sister, help me find a home

And how did you fare tonight with your metamorphosis?
I can assure you that each time I challenged myself to
escape,
A real transformation does take place.
Within Metamorphosis,
Houdini becomes part of the cage, that contains him
He enters the lock
That seals his bonds
He digests the lock
He becomes part of it
Tonight the metamorphosis was a little slower

A seed become a flower
A cocoon becomes a butterfly
Winter becomes spring time
And love becomes a child
The clouds become the rain
The sad becomes the pain inside
Cryin' becomes a game, yeah-e-yeah
And smoke becomes the flame
I'm a father to my son, yeah
I'm a son to my father
You cannot dismiss
I'm living proof of metamorphosis
Times are changin' minds are re-arrangin'
It doesn't matter if you're Black, Buddhist or Asian
We all possess the power, concrete like a tower
So delicate seed becomes a flower
Times are changin' minds are re-arrangin'
It doesn't matter if you're Black, Buddhist or Asian
We all possess the power, concrete like a tower
So delicate seed becomes a flower
A boy becomes a man
A song becomes a memory of a time in your life
A river becomes an ocean
And life becomes undone
Feelings become emotion
A marriage becomes a devotion for the rest of your life
The boredom becomes the same
And guilt turns into pain, yeah
I'm a father to my son, yeah
I'm a son to my father
You cannot dismiss
I'm living proof of metamorphosis
Times are changin' minds are re-arrangin'
It doesn't matter if you're Black, Buddhist or Asian
We all possess the power, concrete like a tower
So delicate seed becomes a flower
Times are changin' minds are re-arrangin'
It doesn't matter if you're Black, Buddhist or Asian
We all possess the power, concrete like a tower
So delicate seed becomes a flower
[Incomprehensible]
I'm a father to my son, yeah
I'm a son to my father
You cannot dismiss
I'm living proof of metamorphosis
Times are changin' minds are re-arrangin'
It doesn't matter if you're Black, Buddhist or Asian
We all possess the power, concrete like a tower
So delicate seed becomes a flower
Times are changin' minds are re-arrangin'
It doesn't matter if you're Black, Buddhist or Asian
We all possess the power, concrete like a tower

[Instrumental]

Please allow me to try and explain
I'm living proof that man change
I knew what I wanted
I know how to get it
It didn't make me happy so I started again
What I wanted to be was a family man but nature had some alternative plans
So I did without the lot put emotion on hold and hoped my instincts would do what they
were told
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
But every now and then often at night a particular feeling would surface in spite of what
I'd told myself and tried to deny
I kept on asking the question: why?
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
You grow up and experience this a total metamorphosis
It's all about change
It's a metamorphosis
With time and age I had to change 'cause my behaviour was getting strange
People on the street caught my eye and I began to think I might be their kind of guy
The long-term suppression of an adolescent urge was in retreat
and I was on the verge of falling in love or having fun
Time was running out
Something had to be done
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
I wanna know yeah
Tell me what's the reason
Where was I?
Laying down the law dancing with the others out on the floor
Music and smoke
What did it mean?
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I had what I wanted madly in love
Nothing else mattered
This was enough
Questions were answered which used to perplex in particular those about the big s.e.x.
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
I wanna know yeah
Tell me what's the reason
Tell me what's the reason
You grow up and experience this a total metamorphosis
It's all about love
It's a metamorphosis
Dreaming is easy life is tough
I got the picture
The most important thing is not to end up bitter
'case when you start to feel increasingly forlorner -- woomph! -- love comes right around
the corner
It may not last but here I am
I once a caterpillar now a butterfly
It can seem strange but when you reminisce
It's all about change
It's a metamorphosis
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
It's all about love
It's a metamorphosis
You grow up and experience this a total metamorphosis
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
It's all about change
It's a metamorphosis
I wanna know yeah
I wanna know
It's all about love

Do you remember me Lord?
You're gonna find out I am a bug
Crawling up and down your spine
We're gonna fuck it up together
And make it mine
Do you remember me Lord?
Mother, help me find myself alone
Do you wish to help me find a home
Metamorphosis
Do you remember me?
'Cause I'm a freaky baby
Well can't you see?
Crawling up and down your spine
We're gonna fuck it up together
And make it mine
Do you remember me?
Mother, help me find myself alone
Father, sister, help me find a home
Metamorphosis

Fallacy fallacy.
Stark the land had lain slain.
An ethereal plain of existence
The gods gods had forsaken.
Each grain of salt a lie.
I can feel your arms pulling me down into the earth, changing me, breaking me into a powerless mortal creature.
We've faltered in fragments of truth buried beneath the weight of its burden crushing down with the weight of this burden lies.
Through this i stand broken.
The soils blow away
Revealing the truth of it's lies,
The shifting blades of grass unveil.
A swamp shrouded in darkness.
I can feel your arms pulling down, changing me, breaking me into a powerless mortal creature.
We've faltered in fragments of truth buried beneath the weight of its burden crushing down with the weight of this burden lies.
Through this i stand broken (but in the end I am absolution)
I am absolution my plague is law.
Changing me, breaking me into a powerless mortal creature.

I've been so wrapped up in my warm cocoon
But something's happening, things are changing soon
I'm pushing the edge, I'm feeling it crack
And once I get out, there's no turning back
Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become
Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis
Things are different now when I walk by
You start to sweat and you don't know why
It gets me nervous but it makes me calm
To see life all around me moving on
Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become
Every day is a transformation
Every day is a new sensation
Alteration, modification
An incarnation, celebration
Every day is a new equation
Every day is a revelation
Information, Anticipation

When the dusk lays hands on the town of misery
The light attracts all you children of light
Every night pilgrimace is part of your mystery
Towards the light... towards the last flight...
Fly... towards the light like all the moths in the night
Fly like it would be your last flight
I rise... on my jet-black wings and fly through the smoke
I see you as my queen when the chrysalis has broken
Again the shadows grow and lights begin to glow
It's time for new moon, that's why the army grows
Now this, then that light is everywhere
Which one you choose... I'll be there
Fly... towards the light like all the moths in the night
Fly like it would be your last flight
I rise... on my jet-black wings and fly through the smoke
I see you as my queen
When the chrysalis has broken... broke
Time for the last flight and the metamorphosis is near
Before the dawn the magic wouldn't disappear
After the metamorphosis you'll be all mine
You in my arms... I drink your love like wine...
Fly... towards the light like all the moths in the night
Fly like it would be your last flight
I rise... on my jet-black wings and fly through the smoke
I see you as my queen

To raise from the earth
Dark forces of old
Undeads feel the appeal
In a morbid dance
They research the entity
Wich gives them the primary state
In this chaotic quest
They search a relic
In a world where times are upset
Vestiges of future
Rise in a past Era
Of despair and sorrow
Damned creatures wandering

Icicles, heavy and fragile
Are witnesses of trickled felicitousness
Weigh floods on your mind
- Restless eyes, crying soundless
Dried up herbage, coated with glory
Of distressing transformation
Drill clefts into transitoriness
- Seething tears of your reality
Opressed hankering for redemption
Straitjacket of your soul
Solidifying floes to the fire
- Raving in uncontrolled stagnation
Misty adumbrations laughing wise
Penned up in the infinite cosmos
Strange birds of prey circulate idly
- Mystifying messengers of consolation
Hide in your cocoon
No occasion to crave

Alone And Isolated
Reflecting On My Sorted Past
I've Chosen Not To Stay
Take My Chances Elsewhere Now
Behold The Flask From Where I Stand
Chrome Nectar Scalds My Trembling Hand
My Fate Is Sealed
I Draw It To My Anxious Lips
A Spellbound Urge I Can't Resist
Fell The Rush Of Pain Within My Vain
Inflamed Power Mainlined To My Brain
Metamorphosis
My Flesh, A Composite Outershell
Metalium Changing Every Cell
Shield For Eternity
Perfect Pure Automaton
Body And Mind Are Fused As One
Fell The Rush Of Pain Within My Vain
Inflamed Power Mainlined To My Brain
Metamorphosis
Sensation Intensified Beyond Belief
Thankful For The Mission I Received
Metamorphosis
[Harmonic Guitars Matthias Lange]
[Guitar Solo Chris Caffery]
Feel The Rush Of Pain Within My Vain
Inflamed Power Mainlined To My Brain
Sensation Intensified Beyond Belief
Ohh Thankful For The Mission I Received
Fell The Rush Of Pain Within My Vain
Metamorphosis
Inflamed Power Mainlined To My Brain
Sensation Intensified Beyond Belief
Metamorphosis
Ohh Thankful For The Mission I Received
