Beyond the mountains
where the wind cries out its pain
Deserted valleys
where the darkness always reigned
Where the sunlight never ever
touched the poisoned ground
Where the laugh of undead children
never ever sound
Forever wrapped in darkness
the forgotten valleys of Hades
Forgotten damned domains
where curse and hate collide
Where the cold and darkness meet
and the truth have turned to lie
Where the flame of love growls cold
and its powers never rise
And hand of death has grasped
every form of light
Forever wrapped in darkness
[Instrumental]
Sitting on the sands of foreign shores
What will it take to make you see the light
Yesterday's patronizing tears
To prove the gods, wrong or right
The road to ancient prophecies is long
When will everybody sing your song
Fearful foes emerging from the past
We're marching on to Iliad at last
See the battles strewn upon the floor
Hear the cries of victory and pain
Twice this day your future lies ahead
Painful suffering amidst a gain
Priam's cities sees it's heroes fall
Into your hands, what does this mean
Egos surging like a demon spawned
Process of assimilation
You're the one who used to say
"My goals will never change,
However long they take to reach!"
"I'm no feather in the wind
I'll triumph with a grin"
You spoke with such conviction
Process of assimilation
How quickly you changed your tune
When time gave you room
To grow toward your desires
You claimed "change" helped you mature
Believe me I was sure
That you were trying to convince yourself
Your problem, I thought, was a weak frame of mind
But noticing your smile, I saw the problem was mine!
We're all searching for contentment with blinders on
We've got to learn to be objective
Playing Hitler with defenseless pets
As far as I'm concerned there's no excuse
I wouldn't be surprised if you were taking bets
On just how much the poor creatures can take of your
Abuse!
The prisons are full, spilling over with pigs
Put them to use for all your research
Any damn machine can make a license plate
But finding cure for AIDS and cancer is not as easy
We're living in the mean time
Efficiency is no crime!
Why don't you get it straight before it's too late!
Relieve those crowded jails, redefine the word "bail"
Take those sentenced to life put them under your knife!
There's no better answer!
Kill one bird with one stone, the other leave alone
Stop destroying animals, this choice is logical
Use humans for your tests, the results will prove best!
I'm sure this proposal must seem quite radical
But all parties concerned will benefit, you'll learn
That's if we awake in time to correct our...
You get away with murder
Self-righteous in a foriegn land
It must be quite an intense feeling
To have an entire nation in the palm of your hand
Your rights are so wrong
An insult to every citizen
We're all subject to this injustice
Your immunity must meet its end!
If you're to live here, you can't live above the law
Doesn't that make sense?!
Yet you do, what good then is democracy for
If we're not all equal?!
Yeah, I know you only work here
But I know what your job entails
Go maintain relations from your homeland
Just use a phone or try the mail!
So one-dimensional
The people that pulled the strings and turned your life around
It is intentional, believe me
The way they keep you in the dark, it's how they keep you down
I exist, exist to resist
The motivation to persist
A strange intangible existence fueled everything
Accomplished up to now that time has changed perceptions viewed to
To something slightly gone askew
I exist, exist to resist
But existing to resist was lost somehow
Music: A.Kokko, lyrics: P.Kokko
Holding the candle in my arms
I'm kneeling down to the altar
Waiting the call from my master
Soon will weight my soul
In the final scale I see my remains
Red dying flower the pan falls down
I see anubis, ancient judge of fathers
Won't take my rose - falling away
Into hades
I have atomed
Now I'm waiting
Waiting the call
Chance to reborn
Crawling on the ground darkness around
Searching for the light that guides me home
Into my cosmic face never shines the day
Cannot reach out - prisoner of gods
In hades
Turn into blood
Rage of sin
Turn into blood
into the darkest forrest they go
dressed in black
dressed in coats
women of evil lust
unholy congregation
at the darkest hour
their torches they light
witches hour
infernal silence
they wait before the altar
chanting invocation
in a blaze of fire he stands
some horrid shape of a goat
each of them pay his hommage
osculum obscenum
white skin freezing in the moonshine
dance in a circle, wait for turn
wine like black clotted blood
The wolves howled at the moon
That chilly autumn night
And cold winds whispered through
The scattered leaves
When the first light from
A late, yet crimson dawn,
Shone through the morning mist...
She was dead... and so reborn.
Caught in a web of silver beams
Thrown from an ocean of stars
A sea that from now, always
Shall haunt her existence
She exists only in darkness
She feeds from the vein of
An innocent child
Yet she is strong
Unbound by the chains of
Mortality
Sometimes under
The ocean of stars
She gazes at the black horizon
Wistful thoughts of death
She wishes for sleep
She has no quest
Just an eternal lust for blood
Always walk alone - eternally!
She is the eye of the raven
She is the ear of the wolf
She is mockery itself
Of the holy trinity
She is the pleasure conceived
>From your pain
The Empress of nocturnals
Thou shalt fear
And thou shalt serve
And thou shalt... die
the mist of blue frost
falls the proud valleys of the north
an iceage of terror
as silent as snow hides the hills
in this frozen land I ride
as the northern light guides my way
a blackwind I am
a shadow of war and lust
this path, whom for me is the chosen
forbidden for mortals to see
the night is filled
with diabolical summoning winds
the moon is burning
like an eye glearing of demonic hate
watch me as I choose my trail
this journey is forever
the spirit of gods and goddess I am
forgotten at the birth of new times
a reflection of an ancient past
waiting in a lost realm of ice
Burning midnight skies
The blaze of the stars is calling again
Whispering mystic chorus
A promise of immortality
Take my soul to where the falcons fly
To the gates of triumph
The skies are bleeding like an open wound
We are born again
Burning midnight skies
The Queen of the night has raised again
She is the Goddess of where our journey ends
Take my soul to where the falcons fly
I ride on a tail of moonfog
Throughout the burning midnight skies
Thy Queen - the Goddess
The enemy of Christ
I greet you on your throne of star dust
Teach me the art of erotic sin
Grant me the source of bestial lust
Take my soul to where the falcons fly
To the gates of triumph
Forever free
Burning midnight skies!!!!
Yet calm, rejoiced, I am
The so lifegiving daylight went
Then night, so pure, came
With the shining, ancient, moon
So cold and twilight grey
Thou shalt see no tomorrow come
Beware the future misery
Read the shadows as they pass
A freezing wind a promise bring
The dawn of the dying sun
Chaos dwelling secretly
Ten centuries of night...
Eternal!!
Earth turns to a frozen stone
All things shall end
Yet thorns shall grow
Throughout the dust of death
Bringer of chaos be greeted!
Harvest your souls from your chariot of ice
Beware the future misery
It is written in the night
An eclipsing wind, a promise brings
The dawn of the dying sun
A massive lust-like rage I feel
Yet calm, rejoiced, I am
The so lifegiving daylight went
Then night, so pure, came
With the shining, ancient, moon
This is the dusk of the week!
Northern storms are silent,
Yet it blows in the north
Northern Kings are sleeping,
Yet Kings rule
Ten centuries of torment
Of a northern soul
But soon the hammer shall strike
This is the dusk of the weak
The dawn of an age of....strength!
Oh'Hail the mighty Kingdom
That from the ruins shall arise
Oh'Hail the mighty Kingdom
Beneath the midnight skies
Northern storms are no longer silent
Northern Kings do no longer sleep
See his memory fade
Wife and daughter raped and killed one night
Life's rewards erased
Only one thing to look forward to
He wants his sweet revenge
Stalking lifeless streets
Target waiting for him underneath the light
Hands that shake with rage
Clutching ornamented bronze and steel
Nerves that twitch with fear
Like a soldier waiting for attack
His sweet revenge approaches
Springing into flight
Victims' scream are nothing that his heart can feel
His essence is freed
As the blade cuts from behind
Slicing the temple where the tender flesh
Joins one's only mind
Fighting with a desperate last breath
His life endures punishment a second time
His vision is blurred
As the life drops from his eyes
Shining the weapon as his entrails fall
Splattering upon the floor
Ripping up the pieces of nerves that keep his limbs from dying
Twitching as if still alive
Letting the body ease from his arms
Slowly slumping to the floor
Smearing all the blood along his fingertips
And watching where the deadman and his body lie
Stands atop his kill
Gloating on his recent victory
Like a lion's pride
Guarding over it triumphantly
The streets are filled with laughter
Sweet revenge is what he's after
Defeat our purpose
But just which fate is worse?
How long can we go on?
We cannot sell ourselves
We'll take it on our terms
No easy path to resist success
You sell out, cash flows in
Your sickly glitter grin
You've only got one chance
To take it all the way
Relax, don't go so fast
Why get so carried away?
Resist, now don't tell me what to do
Success, I'll never ever leave it up to you
We may not change the world
Who said we wanted to?
Don't curse in ignorance
Fearful of something new
Oh, open up your mind
Success is self-defined
Do what your heart commands
Despite what they demand
Resist Success
Resist Success
Don't stay within their lines
Don't scramble for the dollar signs
They'll find you if you're deserving
If your course is unswerving
Outweigh the possibility
Of market stability
Over the cold endless
Mountain stream
Into the dark frozen forest
Under the snowcovered trees
Through the wintery
Whispering winds
Great Gods of Asgaard
Guide us through the night
Let your ravens fly
Lead us through valleys
Great Gods of Valhalla
Guide us through woods
Great Gods of Valhalla
Let your valkyries fly
And let us enter
Let us enter thy hall
Over the cold endless
Mountain stream
Into the dark frozen forest
Under the snowcovered trees
Through the wintery
Whispering winds
Great Gods of Aasgaard
Guide us through the night
See the child, pentagram in hand
There's nothing that can stop him
Psychopathic mind, misdirected wrath
Towards all who dwell around him
But they'll blame it on us
And our music
Throats and faces slashed
The raping it would last
Into victims, dying
He broke into their room
Sense impending doom
Suspended animation
Enjoying the pain
Of his victims
Oh, Nightstalker looms
Inside of drugs
Nightstalker, Nightstalker
You'll blame it on song
But you are wrong
Nightstalker, Nightstalker
What you don't understand
And you can't comprehend
Don't you try to explain it
Until you live alone
And feel the coldness roam
Throughout your hollow soul
Still you'll blame it on us
And our music
The night convicts you once more
Like a bed traps a whore
There's no escaping black instinct
You've damned the innocent to blame
Inflicting on us false shame
Salem's children close to the link
So take a look at yourself
And worry 'bout no one else
Take a look all around you
Maybe someone you know
Will need for you to show
In God we trust
But You're not God
You make and break all the rules
Land of the free
But nothings free
'Cause even when you win you lose
LEGAL TENDER
Resist success
You know you'll have to pay the price
It makes no cents
For all thats wrong, we'll make it right
LEGAL TENDER
Monopolies
Supposed non-existent through the land
Democracy
Tell me why we never had a chance
LEGAL TENDER
I have lived a life of wealth and splendor
Anything I wanted I could easily buy
(Locked away) from the games that you play
(Beg beg) every minute of every day
(Day to day) I'm carefree that's more than you can say
Much more than you can say
Prince to pauper was my decision
Discarding everything I had ever owned
(Take a look) where's my self respect?
(In exile) with all of my worries
(I don't care) if I'm a burden to society
RESPONSE:
Proclaiming selfish, careless freedom
You're blind to the worth of life!
There's pride to be found in accomplishing
Something you've strived for!
So try and redefine your outlook!
Get a job! Get a job!
It just might save your life!
Get a job! Get a job! Get a job!
Get a job! Get a job! Get a job!
Hellish, earthly and heavenly
Goddess of the crossroads; guiding light
Queen of the night, enemy of the sun
Friend and companion of darkness
You who rejoice to see
Blood flow
You who wander amidst in the hour of
Darkness
Thirsty for blood and terror of mortals
Gorgo
Mormo
Brave sons of the pagan age raise
By the summoning of a wind from the past
Silently watching the valleys below
As the northern light crosses the sky
By the light of a thousand fires
Over the hills of thousand graves
Unholy invocating words have been
Chanted
The rebirth of the ravens has come
War is the reflection in their eyes
Glorious again the northland shall become
And the strength of the pagan ones shall
Arise
Brave sons of the pagan age raise
Northern steel cuts the flesh of the false
Storms of ancient hate are howling
Across time
As the lightning rapes the sky
And the blaze of the hammer strikes
Force the weak to kneel for the strong
Your chart shows, truth you soundly deny
The stars hold, your life's blueprints
You smirk and pass them by
You just pass them by
(You're a) velvet hand inside an iron glove
Alone there, praising the very thoughts you're
Thinking of
Your veil of charm is pulled back
For all within sight
To gaze upon in surprise
I'm staring with delight!
You cannot change your fate! No!
Selfish anger on your face
Oh stop it, you're breaking my heart!
You love the fine art of disgrace
But not when it's cast in your part!
You should have listened up, and seen your faults
Narcissism gets you nowhere at all!
Gathered are they, the wolves
>From the north and the tribes of
The underworld hordes
Heathen them
>From pagan wastelands
Joined with them have they
The stench of blood. Holy blood!
Have penetrated their woods and
Fields too long
Ravens flew as messengers
>From hill to hill
They brought harsh
Blasphemous chant
As ancient as time itself
Whispered by the wind which
Cries for the waning moon
The beholders of the cross, shall
Be mesmerized by fear
Their fate denies the fact of such
Creations
Man, beast - the hordes of the
Underworld
Bound by chains forged by
Pagan blood
Tonight they shall feast
Tonight the ravens and wolves
Shall feast
Upon blood, of those of the
Light who behold the cross
Beneath the remains of a civilization.
Centuries of sorrow!!
hear the haunting theronade
like a chant through a timeless abyss
or the cries from the wolves from the
long lost woods
moon-less nights caress her
in shades of a nocturnal beauty
she dances on cemetary ground
be-witched by the wistful tunes of thy dark
enslaving eyes of a whistful darkness
calls me as a silent prayer
she is the one of nocturnal beauty
force me to become her slave
take - me on your journey
she was a woman in black lace
dancing like a raven around the mountain side
and the music of her wistful songs
or laughter, or cries
and out of the skies above me
a creature - a face turned down unto me
closer and closer - then so near
and when she again raised
she caressed me and lead us into a lustful dance
in circles bigger and bigger
higher up - into the moonless skies
It shall come one night a darkness
For centuries to last
When water turns to blood
And wine to poison
Shadows of dimensions far up high
Dwell strongly in a soul
Descend to a gloom of a thousand nights
There are no limits for the blood and tears
That rain from the sky
Swords shall sing and axes chime
In a neverending dance of death
And impaled heads of angels,
Are held up high on heathen spears
When angels weep their blood-red tears
It is the sign of Hades
Each song, each chant, each blasphemy
It is the sign of Hades
Swords shall chime and blood flow
In a neverending death dance
And crows shall feast upon dead men's eyes
Water turns to blood
And wine to poison
There are no limits for the torment
That rains from the sky
The time has come for death
And there is no return
When the reaper comes to hunt your soul
When the angels heads are held up high
When brothers fall for brothers sword
When black winds rage, and fire rapes the sky
When the crimson red skies
Bathes the horizon in a poisonous kiss
I kiss my hammer
I kiss my sword
My eyes gleam of infernal joy
In my dreams I saw them
They made me swear the oath
At the seventh of the seven mountains
The twenty first of december
The skies bathe the horizon in fire
I hold my sword before me and
I kneel before the blood on the stone
Greet me!!!
This moment was chosen at the birth
Of the Gods
A true son of Asgaard I am
My sign is the color of the night
And the blood that ran on my father's
Graves!!!
The oath is sworn the blood is given
Alone walkyng, in thought planning,
And sore sighing, all desolate.
Me remembering, of my livyng,
My dethe wishyng,
Bother erly and late.
Infortunate, is so my fate,
That vote ye what? out of
Measure.
My life I hate, thus desperate
In soche pore eslate doe I endure.
Of othir cure am I not sure
Thus to endure is hard certain.
Such is my ure I you ensure:
What creature
Maie have more pain?
My truthe so plain is take in vain,
And grete disdain in remembraunce;
Yet I full faine
Would me complaine
Me to abstaine from this penaunce;
But in substaunce none
Allegeaunce
Of my grevaunce can I not finde;
Right so my chaunce with
Displesaunce
Doeth me avaunce
The tragedy of Hamlet
(Inspired by the play by William Shakespeare)
ACT I
Once past twelve sounds a bell
'Tis bitter cold at Elsinore
Three Danes await and watch the night
For the late king Hamlet's spectral sight
It comes again in warlike form
This spirit of health beckons his son
Father, king, royal Dane?
Tell me the reason why you came
I am the spirit of the king
I walk the night and burn by day
"Till the foul crimes done in my days
Of nature are burnt and purged away"
A serpents sting took my life
Now wears my crown and wed my wife
Avenge my death, remember me
Hamlet my son, kill the king!
ACTS II and III
A noble mind overthrown
Seized with madness
Dethrone!
Somewhat deceptive
To masque his designs
The prince will reap his vengeance in time
His lady love doth think him mad
Lord Chamberlain warns
Stay away!
The actors come hither
Presenting a play
Hamlet's intentions are underway
He has caught the conscience of the king
Railed the queen
Thought Claudius slain
Instead lay dead
The fool Chamberlain
Banished; to England Hamlet is sent
ACT IV
The sails were set for their destruction
Twice fell the night their ship is attacked
Death has strayed from his path to claim sweet Ophelia
The prince now returns enraged with wrath
He falls upon innocence returning to dust
Swears he laertes, Hamlet must
Pay for all grievances put on his house
Conspiracy lingers, the duel; a trap
darkness entombs us, as we watch the mountains before
waiting for the silent wind to bring us the
sign of the ancient horn
the bells shall chime as the towers burn
in flames of eternal hate
burn in the name of the elder faith
black ravens of war raise your unholy banner
again the smell of blood shall drift
under the silver moon
chant your song on northern glory
blow your horns for northern pride
sing those songs so long forgotten

Grab the good times while and when you can
They are few and far between
Simply glitches, lapses in the gloom
This I know, this I've seen
The Darkess Prevails
It wins without fail
Can't care anymore but when I am
With you it all seems fine
Grab the money, run off far away
Your problems; you'll escape
What does success mean to enslaved clones?
The world is all their's to rape
In darkness
Take these words I spill onto this page
All ideas are now on sale
You can't enjoy wealth
All alone in a cage
You've all the answers to how people should all live their lives
Well if you show me a wretch who does what he can to survive
Then I'll, I'll show you resistance, you call it a shame
We are the ?
Now deviation is not found in your dictionary
Ask me the question, just how different can equate with free
And I'll, I'll show you the answer, the happiness game
It's rooted in our crime of not being the same
Cause we're not the same
And never will be
[Music - Lorenzo]
[Lyrics - Tecchio]
Now is the time to choose
What have we got to lose except all we've worked for?
RIGHT OUT THE DOOR
All of our lives we slave
Headfirst into the grave, without a second thought
IN Y2K
Digital Disarray
Impending all time low
Solutions come much too slow in our high tech age
IT'S ALL THE RAGE
Stopped in our global tracks
By a stupid, shortsighted act
Time will be standing still
IN Y2K
Digital Disarray
IN Y2K
Two digits of dismay
Countdown to the year 2000
Seems like an insurmountable mountain
In time this may not be a big deal
But right now fear of the future's all I feel
[Music - Fuhrman]
[Lyrics - Tecchio]
Now we don't
Have to worry away
About our future
Dead at four months old
Was it all for naught?
Who would have ever thought?
To know one is to know
Why all our life's blood flows
She always had the time
To listen to you whine
About your problems
Like she had none of her own
When time runs out for those close to us
It seems surreal, a truth you can't trust
When all the dust has settled at last
You pull up your stakes and say good-bye to the past
So now we don't have to worry much
About anything... Anymore
Beware of the scribes
Parading in robes
The heavier the sentence
They'll follow in droves
You claim you are He
The time is at hand
The Earth shakes my bones
I don't understand
If you listen to me
You'll be eternally free
The widow puts in
More than the rest
You gave from your surplus
She gave it her best
You chorus from the rich
She gives from the poor
You laugh with the witch
She cries with the whore
Two copper coins
She gave it her best
Pray that you may not be
Put to the test
Blest are you
The hungry, the poor
The reign of God is yours
You can't ask for more
You've been crashing down ?
But then we'd all know what if something ? to entice us even more
?
The ? is yours sometime to spite in disguise
Where your deepest fears and secrets hide
[CHORUS:]
Demon over mind, it's all inside you
If you only knew, the other is just you
My name is allegiance. for we are many
We're not confined by any law or prayer
Your torture and destruction ?
In life, who told you life was ever fair
Oh no
You think you've finally met the debt, well guess again
You're only playing with ?, a blind child
[CHORUS]
[Music - Lorenzo]
[Lyrics - Tecchio]
Drowning down and reaching out,
Poor you
Helping handouts,
Now we're drowning too
Stop blaming everyone else
Shut up and save yourself
Dumbing down, we're devolving for sure
Us, ourselves, the answer and the cure
Entitlements you're not entitled to
Promote the problem and distort the truth
Love you, is what I do
Need you, desire in my blood for you
At first, I had control
For my worst distinguished feeling to be bold
CHORUS:
Syringe pulses into my veins
Eyes roll back I'm in love again
???
I knelt, a bed has taken the cross' place
Hopeless, my guard went down
Numbness, my smile's converted to a frown
CHORUS
(Enticed by forbidden fire
Reasons get worn down to the wire
Until some exhibit displays
We've all come unblind to our own weakness)
If ??? sees this word
Cold facts, show me that I'm absurd
Mistakes, from which I've learned
Taught me, to never let myself get burned
CHORUS
Love again
Never love again
I've been around forever, watching, waiting
She was the one
Took what I wanted, what I longed for
With no remorse
Rape, in the night
To defile the pure, it takes a soul that's dark and sure
Power mad, sick, disease, no cure
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white displayed
Rape, in the night
Never be the same, life is not a stupid, useless game
Somebody has to take the blame
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white soiled gray
Where do you think you're going
I'll tell you where you've been
Through the glass so darkly
An angel has fallen
Rape, in the night
To defile the pure, it takes a soul that's dark and sure
Power mad, sick, disease, no cure
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white lays frayed
Every time
[Music - Lorenzo, Fuhrman]
[Lyrics - Tecchio]
Open your world history compufiles to number nineteen hundred and
ninety eight. Today We're going to look back and bring to light once
again, the mistakes that were made which Caused the democracy
once called America to fall from a great nation to total ruination.
A country spoiled to the point of no return
The Decline & Fall
It's time to reflect on the consequences of shortsightedness and self
defeating ideologies so That we may learn from them, never to forget
that history does indeed repeat itself. There's a Big difference
between assisting the truly needy and throwing the taxpayers' money
at Problems with the noble hope that they'll disappear. Earning
more short term votes all the While. Never once thinking about the
big picture or the future of our children.
$elfish $uicide. $elfish $uicide.
The Decline & Fall
The United States of America taxed and legislated itself both on the
federal and state levels into utter bankruptcy and eventual anarchy.
Anerica the beautifully forsaken. Finished off in Exquisite catastrophe.
Like Egypt and Rome before it, the USA advanced its living
conditions To the point where total apathy consumed its hard working
citizens and government Assistance did nothing but enslave the
downtrodden to the powers that were.
One nation under God, totally divisible.
Our Father
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And please, please lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from all evil

Night calls upon my betrayal
Morn sees me denied three times
Believe in God, believe also in me
I am the way, the truth, and the Life
The truth I leave within you
You Judas, hear your fate and then carry it out
Once Satan's entered you, you'll turn right about
And Peter give your life up, or so you say
Instead your knowledge of me shall be erased
They take me away, to cast me from the world
My love won't die
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
I have been judged to die upon the cross
These thorns released my earthly blood
Still hold your faith, aside from what you see
Bearing my cross, bearing all your sin
Oh, Golgotha, to the place of the skull
You sheep within my flock hear the truth of my life
The nails deep in my flesh, the pierce of the knife
Though evil strung me up and started time anew
Know that my life was given up for you
Music: Fuhrman
You anger me beyond belief
Lying for the sake of lying
Right to my face
As if I were as pathetically simple as yourself
Using anything and everything for an excuse
You're twisting logical reasoning tight in a knot
Twist it!
Boycotting thought before action
You're so damn self-assured
Further strangled by the results
Of your modified truth
Rebel without a brain
Rebel
What makes you think that lying's cool?!
Deception's noose keeps on tightening
Around your neck
Haunting you now are the loose ends
You neglected to check
Your life is your mind's fabrication
You're living a lie
Why not give the truth a small chance?
I hold vexations back inside of my mind
Like a dam, denying frustration, a way out
The pressure builds
CHORUS: At night while my mind slumbers off at rest so deep
Hatred guides my steps as I walk in my sleep
Cold murders littered in the wake of my dream
I'm deaf to every scream
CHORUS
My subconscious secret to living stress-free
Is manslaughter in the second degree
CHORUS
(inspired by the work of Edgar Allen Poe)
I. Red Death
It was a time when life was short
Long devastated was the land
Never had there ever been
A more fatal plague against all man
Pungent pain, sudden faintness
Your energy begins to fade
As you stand there somewhat daunted
You know 'Red Death' is on it's way
Blood, blood, blood and more blood
Profuse bleeding at the pores
You watch your blood slowly sizzle
As your flesh dissolves some more
Screams of anguish, blood still flowing
Pollutes the ground a rotten red
Your time has come, you must meet your maker
As you slip into the valley of the shadow of death
II. The Prince's Master Plan
All men feared this great disaster
But the valiant Prince had the only answer
For his majesty and his chosen ones
The inception of new life would free them of contagion
Magnificent it was this structure of seclusion
Surrounded by these walls so massive yet elusive
The gates were welded shut impervious to those forsaken
Never letting go of the souls that were taken
There was beauty, there was wine
Ambrosia and sweet nectar
Flowing from within
All appliances of pleasure
Inside the Master-Plan
Providing noble lunacy
Outside the palace gates
'Red Death' just sits and waits for you
Narration:
It was toward the close of the fifth or
sixth month of his seclusion, and while the
pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that
the Prince Prospreo entertained his thousand
friends at a masked ball of the most unusual
magnificence... Edgar Allen Poe (1809-1849)
III. The Masquerade including the Twelfth Hour and Return of the Red Death
Bizzare it was seven chambers
Held this jubilee except for one
It stood alone, the western wing
Where no one shared it's offerings
Blood tinted panes, brazier or fire
Projects it's rays
A clock stands tall, ominous
It warns of death so soon to be
So loud, so deep the guests pay heed
The dissonant ring of ebony
The crowd goes pale as darkness
Shrouds the maskers in their revelry
Then as the echos ceased
A light laughter spread through the assembly
And all is well
Until the next chiming of old ebony
The ebony clock struck the twelfth hour
And everyting ceased as the revellers cowered
The pendulum swings all still, all silent
Save the voice of old ebony
As the last chime died and sunk into silence
Soon it was felt a presence so strange
Tall and gaunt who is this masked figure
Shrouded in habiliments of the grave?
His blood splattered mask bore a striking resemblence
The countenance of a rigid corpse
He stalked to and fro in a slow, solemn movement
Enraging the Duke, invasion of his sanctuary
'Seize him, unmask him, ' commanded the prince
'Who dares insult us with this blasphemous mockery?
You'll hang at sunrise! '
Not a person came forth it seemed like all was lost
As the intruder make his way unimpeded
An anon he went on trugged through each chamber
Where the music once swelled and the dreams lived on and on
The prince in pursuit dagger drawn aloft
As the figure retreats to the seventh chamber
He suddenly turns, a piercing sharp cry
Now the Prince lay dead in the hall of the velvet...
Then summoning the wild courage of despair,
A throng of revellers at once threw themselves
Into the black apartment, and seizing the mummer,
Whose tall dark figure stood erect and motionless
Within the shadow of the ebony clock, gasped
In unutterable horror at finding the grave
Cerements and corpse-like mask, which they
Handled with so violent a rudeness, untenated
By any tangible form.
And now was acknowlegded the presence
Of the Red Death. He had come as a thief
In the night and one by one droppd the revellers
In the blood-bedewed halls of their revel,
And died each in the despairing posture of his fall.
As the life of the ebony clock went out
With that the last of the gay.
And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness
And Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all...

In The Words Of The Profit
Fly out of this world we're on, you'll get a global point of view
Altered consciousness gives a perspective that's untrue
Too late to stop it
It all went wrong
Could not prevent it
With just a song
No profit and no return from the abyss you fell into
This planet is fine for some but that was not the case for you
Too late to stop it
It all went wrong
Could not prevent it
With just a song
In The Words Of The Profit
Death has come to here
We're burning badly
Filth up to my ears
We're screaming mad
And I would like to know exactly
Just what you have planned for us to do
You claim to be the leaders
Well who the hell on Earth is leading you?
You sent us to fight
While we were waiting
What did you do for
The situation?
Dictating our beliefs
Erasing your deceit
Scapegoat nations to fall
(Mechanized) Armies wait at your call
Madness threatens your soul
Control on the decline
Slipping from you crazed hold
(Genocide) Forces weak, passion bold
You were blind before
Now it's our turn to
See the light no more
We're crawling towards you
Chaos swarms through minds
Mutated armies
Rise and fall an find
That power destroys
I would like to know exactly
Just what you have planned for us to do
Tommorrow holds the answers
She's dynamite in bed, isn't that what's in your head?!
I see your hungry smile, you make me sicker all the while!
I'm gonna tell you what it's all about
The truth of the matter is
You're like a roach who sees a scrap of food
I call it rude, yeah!
Your middle-aged fantasies, hopeless attempts at ecstasy
So keep your eyes in your head, you know damn well
She ain't winding up in your bed!
Now I must honestly tell
That I have done it as well
You go through these things in life
But you, I can't understand
I'm just a kid, you're a man
What about your wife?!
You call yourself adult
You're just adulterous!
Can't you... I too eye
You never will... see eye to eye
See eye too eye
It's too late to... see eye to eye
You'd go and throw it all away
Just for a lousy lay
Unbelievable
Tell me is it worth all the sweat?
Only to wake up in regret
[Music - Lorenzo, Fuhrman]
[Lyrics - Tecchio]
So tell me what the hell sense does it make
To call yourself alive but to be fake?
Cause friendships full of bull cannot be saved
The true ones are the few, the proud, the brave
End of the Bargain
I thought we had a deal, a pact, a bond
To be there for each other and beyond
End of the Bargain
I learned about your talk behind my back
Your whole entire realistic act
End of the Bargain
You have to weigh the good with the bad
Some friendships end and all that's left's sad and I...
I really hope that you understand
That I don't have the time to waste with your weak plan
Guess I can't live up to my end of the bargain
I watch the world around me decay
No matter what I sing or I say or pray
We're lying to each other each day
And I'm out of this false facade with no delay
Cause I'm not gonna rot with your lot
I can't meet my end of the bargain
Time to end, not to bend
Goodbye friend who intends
To pretend truth can bend, in the end
I can't meet my end of the bargain
[Music - Lorenzo]
[Lyrics - Tecchio]
Tired of penance
and words
Confession is absurd
Cause you
Shouldn't have
Done the deed
In the first place
For sure
Ten percent
Of my check
Get to get my
Head checked
It's like paying
To have friends;
Joining one of
Your sects
Acts of contrition
get me free again
To remind God
I have no regrets
Should he forget
And the madness
Goes on
In his name
There's no wrong
The collection basket
Reeks
Pass the buck
Right along
Holy wars
What a joke
Bloody hands
Robes are soaked
Rationalize it away
All commandments
On hold
He only sees what he wants
It serves to fool and distract him
While slowly everything's haunted, cursed and stained
His temple that was his home
Showed itself as mere cold stone
To finally feel all alone is horribly purifying
CHORUS: And it's doubt that fills my head
Dreadful doubt dripping in dread
Leave me to live in my own world
I've had enough of yours
Follow the program and make plans
To become self-assured
Didn't end up the golden champion
Ended up on the floor
CHORUS
CHORUS
Paid all the dues I could afford
But what was due me got lost
Found I had gained some small respect
But I get little more
They say if at first you don't succeed
Leave well enough alone
Could never live just for the dollar
'Cause life is only unknown
They tell us to wait, yeah we'll wait but for how long
Keep us quiet, dismiss our ideas but for how long
Let's concentrate and reevaluate
The economy's sunk and we've all got to pull together to raise it up
Deter my nation
Endless campaigning, a void in your ??? for how long
Promises preached, the nation's appeased but for how long
The first to complain is usually the last one to vote
Well my vote is cast, we need a national antidote
This is not certain
Preach to spread fear
I'm venting my frustration with the hope that you'll hear
Be aware of your future and who's plotting it out
If you neglect your nation you deserve to live in doubt
Well it's a wise man who opens up his mind before his mouth
Some politicians these days are in a wisdom drought
Take some pride in your country give some love to your land
Sentiment is not enough to really give a damn
They're racing again, to plant what you see but for how long
Count up your votes, gain a big lead, but for how long
We'll have to wait to face our fate
To see if from our entanglements I'll still be able to extricate
Deter my nation
Deter my nation
Deter my nation
Determination
It's so much fun to judge everyone, isn't it
What are you looking at
What is the matter
Are you that high upon the social ladder
Divide and conquer, you got it right
Just trust the differences between black and white
I wear my uniform, you wear yours too
You may not think so but you don't have a clue
The people who believe they are the rule
Are such exceptional delusional fools
CHORUS: Become colorblind
Defeat, don't define
CHORUS
Time ??? nerves inside
Concealed behind vacuous eyes
Tick, tick, ticking me off more
An emotional wreck in the guise of a bore
Wavering on the edge
One last straw shoves me off the ledge
Fall, fall, falling to my surprise
Owing this to my prejudice's demise
I was but blind before, but now I see
What is to become of you and of me
I can't do it alone, and so we flail
And wallow in this world so frazzled and frail
CHORUS
How 'bout we get a little honest with ourselves
Let's start to think!
We're only flaunting our lack of respect
When we argue over opinions
You!
You talk like it's a fact
I wish you could just listen to yourself and your...
Opinions!
From the way that you talk
(Opinionate!)
You'd think your word was law
A preference cannot be wrong nor right
But it's wrong to try and dispute tastes
There's so many reasons we all use to form opinions
You see we've got the right to each hold a point of view
Why fight each other, it's all in vain respect's the key
But we argue blind, each thinking he is right
We are all at fault, you know it's true
Our simple free will is completely ignored
Damned to ignorance, what will we do now?!
We've all got enough problems, why add to the strain?
A no-win situation is what we have on our hands
Over and over and over and over
We prove the fact that we can't think
Living one mulish day at a time
Convinced that our shit doesn't stink! Yeah!
This song is food for thought, we're all starving
To change your standpoint is not so alarming
The usual result of change is growth
What's your opinion we'd like to know!
Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate!

Defeat our purpose
But just which fate is worse?
chorus:
How long can we go on?
We cannot sell ourselves
We'll take it on our terms
No easy path to resist success
You sell out, cash flows in
Your sickly glitter grin
chorus
You've only got one chance
To take it all the way
Relax, don't go so fast
Why get so carried away?
Resist, now don't tell me what to do
Success, I'll never ever leave it up to you
solo - Dan
solo - Scott
We may not change the world
Who said we wanted to?
Don't curse in ignorance
Fearful of something new
Oh, open up your mind
Success is self-defined
Do what your heart commands
Despite what they demand
Resist Success
Resist Success
Don't stay within their lines
Don't scramble for the dollar signs
They'll find you if you're deserving
If your course is unswerving
Outweigh the possibility
Of market stability
You are the path to resist success
