Ancient Spirits Call To Me
Through This Forest Of Translucent Dream
Like A Passage Through Dark Crypts
Unholy Prayers Surround My Dismal Descent
Swirling Mists Part Revealing The Sacred Path
The Dusk Fades Into A Sea Of Black
Gloomy Shadows Lie Still And Silent
The Whispering Winds So Bitter And Cold
Forever Shall I Haunt The Night
Mesmerized By Darkened Skies
And The Call Of The Rising Full Moon
Into The Twilight Mists
So Mysterious And Dark
And Through This Dreary Haze
Of Melancholic Bliss
My Soul Shall Fly Free In Darkness
The Skies Above Grow Dark
As The Moon Is Hidden By Mighty Storm Clouds
Cold Winds Blow As Freezing Rain Falls Across The Lands
Ravens Gather Upon High Stone Cliffs
That Rise From Within The Deep And Magical Forests
Hidden Within The Moon Cast Shadows
Are The Mighty Crusaders Of The Dark
On Their Night Black Steeds
Cloaked In The Darkness Of Night Unseen By All
As They Beset Upon Their Quest For Vengeance And Glory
In The Eyes Of Their Dark Lords Who Shall Rule The Lands
From Their Towering Stone Fortresses And Grim Castles
Rising From The Ominous And Majestic Mountain Peaks
The Dark Crusaders Swords Are Drawn
And Coated With The Blood
Of All Who Oppose The Black Hordes
As The Falling Rain Turns To Snow
The Earth Is Embraced In Winter's Ancient Slumber
Thrones Are Made From The Bones Of The Vanquished
As The Dark Crusaders Ride In Victory
Covenant Of Abominations
Book Of Chaos And Flame
Chant Of The Ancient Curse
Demon Of The Southwest Wind
Sacred Seal Carved In Flesh
Blood Spills Upon The Stone
Howling Demons Open The Gate
Arise From The Dark Abyss
Lord Of Sickness And Disease
Dark Angel Of The Four Wings
Pazuzu, Morbid God Of Plague
Possess Us With Impure Blessings
Locusts Swarm In Rage
Scourge The Earth With Plague
Humans Fall In Disgust
Unworthy Of Ancient Blood
Lord Of Sickness And Disease
Dark Angel Of The Four Wings
Pazuzu, Morbid God Of Plague
Possess Us With Impure Blessings
Music And Lyrics: Ixithra, Lord Of The Sylvan Shadows
The Afterglow Of What May Lie Ahead
Tainted With So Deep A Red
With Sparks Of Black Shining Dim
In Whirling Winds, So Tender, So Grim
Souls Entangled In The Branches Of A Dead Tree
Shattered Dreams Of Once Being Free
Shiny Wings Across The Silvery Moon
Descending Unto The Tortured Earth Soon
Take Me Up, I'm Not Willing To Stay
And Carry, Carry Me Far Away
When Leathery Wings With Grace Caress
I'll Soon Be Reborn In Darkness...
So Where Are You Heading To Now, Blackest Of All
Whose Madness Can't Be Calmed
By Any Secret Unknown Revealed?
Your Pride A Glorious Halo Radiating Like The Dying Sun
Over The Never Ending Deserts.
Your Strength Of Air, Water, Earth,
And The All Consuming Fire.
And Your Desperate Beauty In The Eyes Of The Wild...
The Fallacy Of Revelation,
Of Creating A "Beast"
So Different From What We Know Of You
Enstranged Visions Will Never
Enter Our Hearts Dedicated To You
Shattered Lies Who Does Not Know
Shattered By His Own Creation,
Illusion Come True
The Night Is Ours, The Night,
The Pale Moon, And The Star Desert
Paths Through Icy Mountains
And Over Broken Bridges
Guided By The Radiating Light
No One There To Follow Who
Does Not Feel
What Drives Us On And On
But Will Be Lost In Eternity
These Paths Can Only
Be Passed By Us
Alone
The Night Is Ours, The Night,
The Pale Moon, And The Star Desert
As We've Been Crouching
In Darkest Places For Milleniums,
Not To Be Seen By The Mortal Eye...
As We've Been Witnessing Stars Dying
And Snow Covering Any Traces One Might Have Left...
As We've Remained In The Shadow's Embrace By Night
We've Beheld A World In Which We Never Belonged
We've Kept Our Mysteries In Obscurity
Our Worlds Of Thought And Emotion
Our Wisdom And Magic,
The Truly Tragic Existence In These Realms...
...We Always Knew That This
Would End
We Await Our Rebirth In Darkness.
Eternal Darkness...
Music: Ixithra, Lord Of The Sylvan Shadows
Lyrics: Vetharanyn, Empress Of The Withered Stars & Ixithra, Lord Of The Sylvan Shadows
From Castle Walls Frozen
In The Lands Of Winter
The Cold Winds Whisper
A Forgotten Song
A Hymn Of The Dark Forest Lands
And Deep Winter Snow
That Touches The Soul
Of The Mighty Raven
That Flies High Above The Lands Below
As A Symbol Of Death And Darkness
Dark Warriors Arise From Their Graves
Clawing Through The Frozen Earth
To Storm The Lands In Hatred And War
Through The Falling Snow They March
Across The Cold Winter Landscape
All Shall Fall To The Frosted Steel
Of Their Swords
Bathed In The Blood Of Frozen Hearts
That Coats The Beautiful White Snow
The Fallen Become A Feast
For Wolves From The Forest Of Ice
That Howl Their Fury
To The Waning Moon
Of The Obsidian Age Of Ice
A Dark Shroud Entombs This Eternal Eve
In Ancient And Forgotten Mysteries
Shadows Drift Through The Solemn Graves
Bringing Memories Of Ages Long Past
The Earth's Frozen Tears
Shatter Upon The Stone
Of Memorials Long Forgotten
The Moon Has Cast A Spell
Covering All In It's Frost
The Winter Winds Blow Cold As Ice
Across The Frozen Lands
The Sun No Longer Shines
On A World Forsaken To The Dark
Eternal Winter, The Earth Is Dead
Forever Night, All Is Black
Music: Maldismes, Lord Of The Misty Moors
Lyrics: Ixithra, Lord Of The Sylvan Shadows
Snow Falls Upon The Darkest Scenes Of Winter
Falling Into Unfathomed Depths
Below The Tree Line Of The Vast Forest
Icy Streams Flow As Silently As
The Approaching Foot Falls Of Death
Only The Rustling Of Leaves
From A Single Northern Breeze May Be Heard
Here Dwell The Great Warlocks,
The Conjurers Of Winter's Demons
Dark Ones As Ancient As The Eldest Trees
Of The Mighty Forest
They Chant The Spells Of First Snow
Which Echo Throughout These Ancient Sylvan Realms
Awakening The Sleeping Demons
Of The Perpetual Winter Woods
Under The Magnificence Of The Winter Full Moon
Demons With Souls As Cold As The Winter Winds
And Dark As The Night That Birthed Them
The Black Robed Mages Spill Their Own Blood
In Sacrifice To The Dark Harbringers Of Winter's Gale
Upon This Blood The Demons Drink
Quenching Their Great Thirst
Through This Rebirth Comes The Return
Of Their Cryptic Powers Of Old
Now All Must Succumb To Winter's Dark Fold
Or Be Torn Asunder By It's Icy Talons
Another Sun Sets On Baleful Lands
Transmuting Into A Crimson Orb Of Transient Wonder
The Last Of It's Waning Rays Die
As The Lady Of The Night's Song Starts Anew
My Lady Of Darkness
Shed Thy Earthly Guise,
So That The Meek Might See Destruction
As Black Tears Rain From The Sky
Your Image Is Splendor
Gaiety Amidst Death
Close Now Thy Ebony Wings
And Steal The World's Dying Breath
Resplendent In Silver, The First Strains Of Her Epic Of Woe
Enthrall The Nocturnal Beings Drawn To Her Sight
A Doleful Opus To The Wonders Of Night
Enveloped In A Shroud Of Pain
Her Song Has Reached Crescendo
And Her Descent Is Nearly Complete
Shadows Of Magic Ascend From Dusk
Revealing The Moon For All To See
My Lady Of Darkness
Shed Thy Earthly Guise,
So That The Meek Might See Destruction
As Black Tears Rain From The Sky
Your Image Is Splendor
Gaiety Amidst Death
Close Now Thy Ebony Wings
And Steal The World's Dying Breath
I Stand Tall Amongst The Ancient Tombs
Reveling In Their Long Dead Knowledge
Breathing Deeply Of The Putrescence
I Feel At One With The Elder Spirits
That Haunt The Dreary Place
Flowing Cascades Of Deathly Might
Swarm Within My Mortal Frame
Transforming My Once Human Visage
Into A Ghastly Vision Of Corruption And Decay
Knowledge Garnered From The Long Dead
Aids In My Descent To The Halls Of Death
I, The Lord Of Death,
Adorned In Hideous Trappings
With Dominion Over All
The Twisted Ruler Of An Infinite Kingdom
Enshrouded In Necromantical Fog
Amidst The Ghouls I Dwell
In A Realm Of Marble And Soil
My Loyal Subjects Lie In Wait
Of The Day That I Shall Rise From My Throne
And Conquer The World With Plague
Whisper Unto Me The Name That I Once Loved
The Glorious Beauty That Beknighted My Soul In Darkness
Bloodshed! In Battle Her Name I Defended
Throughout Countless Wars
All Battle Scars Were Mended,
But Not My Heart, Frozen And Fragile, Broken Like Glass
As The Moon Rises Over Each Mountain I Pass
Falling Ever Downward Into A Land Devoid Of Sun
As Cold Winds Hit Like Ice, My Life Is Undone
Cry Not For Me Nor For My Lovely Queen
Cry For The Others Doomed To Remain Living
A Thunderous Sound As Hooves Shake The Ground
Onward Into Battles Oblivious To All
Steeds Of Black With Knights Of Silver
Into The Darkness Ride
Crusaders Of The Dark Cometh From The Night
To Extinguish Thy Holy Light

Remove This Haunted Entity
From Mortality And Fate
Leave Only Memorials Of Darker Days
Light Shall Not Shun The Dawn
Only A Forever Night
Upon A Full Moon Twilight
Upon The Shadowy Black Wings Of The Night
Travel The Darkest Of Obscure Creations
Their Mouths Dripping With The Blood Of Mortals
They See Through Eyes As Black As The Endless Night Sky
Their Razor Sharp Claws Are As Scythes
That Tear Through Human Flesh
An Ancient Evil Beyond The Grasp Of Time
That Descends Upon The Land Scourging The Earth
And Consuming The Souls Of The Living
Screams Of The Dying Merge With The Howling Of Wolves
In The Night To The Full Northern Moon
As Hordes Of Batlike Forms Flit Through The Air
Sharing In Their Ecstasy
Through The Eyes Of The Dead The Moon Turns Crimson
As Torrents Of Blood Cascade The Lands
Saturating The Earth So Devoid Of Life
A Chalice Is Raised By Withered Hands
From The Soil Of The Blackened Lands
And It Is Drank In Full
In Honor Of The Darkest Times
A Stroke Of Magnificent Lightning
Iridescent Skies
The Morning Star Roams Free
Amongst Opalescent Clouds
Radiant Form, Brighter Than Fire
Prideful Black Wings Spread
Engulfing The Earth In Darkness
Rebel Of The Cosmos
His Throne Constructed From The Fruit
Taken From The Tree Of Knowledge
Anointed With Light Of Truth
Bejeweled With Clandestine Wisdom
Crowned With Desire
Armed With The Scepter Of Strength
Majestic Prince Of Earth And Air
Malevolent Mighty Conqueror
Takes Flight Unto The Heavens
Exploring His Empire
Of The Infinite Cosmic Seas
Retribution... Heaven Shall Burn
Ascend Lucifer
Exalt Thy Throne Above The Stars
Dwell Within The Frozen North
Mounted Upon The Clouds
Glorious Lucifer, Flag Of Freedom
Bearer Of Light, Path Of Wisdom
Son Of Morning, Sword Of Victory
The Most High, He Is I

Pale Flesh Glows In The Light Of The Moon
Forever Untouched By The Light Of The Sun
Angel Of Darkest Shadows
Your Beauty Lies Forever Beyond
Our Hearts Beat As One
As Black As A Moonless Night,
But All Things Must End In Time
And Now The Beating Has Stopped
The Petals Of Black Roses Cover Our Bodies
As We Lie Wrapped In Black Lace
Bound In Flesh And Steeped In Blood
Our Ties Shall Never Break
You Are The Moon
That Shines On Blackest Night
You Are The Darkness
That Consumes The Light
We Shall Lie Together
In Our Tomb Forever
Embraced In Deathly Sleep
Astral Forms Rise From Our Bodies
To Travel The Forbidden Dimensions
In Darkness Our Souls
Entwine As One

Outro:
"...In The Deepest Depths Of Night,
Hidden In Shadow
Our Blackened Souls Roam Free,
In Sorrow Under The Shining Full Moon
Amongst The Withered Trees
The Waters Rage Upon The Abysmal Shores
In The Dark Lands Beyond The Sun
Upon The Waters Sail Obsidian Ships
As Black As The Darkest Night
Dark Robed Figures Guide These Vessels
Through The Open Seas
Bringing Eternal Night To All That They See
Their Souls As Dark As The Endless Abyss
Their Open Eyes Black And Devoid Of Life
Hateful And Cruel Their Gaze As Cold As Death
Dark Clouds Gather Above
Cloaking Them In The Ominous Black Of Night
Unseen By The Warriors Of Light
That Sail On Golden Ships From Heavenly Shores
The Ships Collide With The Sound Of Breaking Thunder
Dark Creatures From The Deepest Depths
Slither Through The Churning Black Waters
Their Horrible Forms Visible Just Below The Surface
As The Golden Bows Of The Holy Ships
Sink Into The Endless Depths
The Dark Clouds Recede
As The Moon's Light Shines Upon The Endless Seas
Now Turning Red With The Blood Of The Holy
River Of Tears
Drips From The Skies
River Of Blood
From Angels' Eyes
River Of Sorrow
Sad And Deep
River Of Woe
The Angels Weep
Shades Of Death
White Wings Fall
The Angels Kneel
In Pools Of Blood
Bleeding Wounds
Torment Holy Flesh
Forsaken Prayers
Scorn The Sufferance Of Christ
Crown Of Thorns
Withers And Dies
Denial Of The
Holy Paradise
Blackened Spires Of Demonic Shrine
Rise From Ancient Ruins Forgotten In Time
A Castle That Once Stood
Shivering In Ecstasy As Icy Winds
Blow Down From The North
As The Sun Descends Beyond The Horizon
The Warriors Of The Dark Arise
With Eyes Of Fire On Great Black Steeds
They Attack With Fury
With A Horde Of Demons Born From Hell
Following In Their Wake
All Shall Perish By The Moonlit Silver Of Their Swords
The Dark Crusaders Sing Their Hymns Of Eternal Praise
With Blood Spilt In Sacrifice
The Earth Quakes With The Galloping Of Hooves
The Dark Crusades Commence As A Great Black Plague
That Spreads Across The Horizon
All That Is Holy Shall Come To Rest
In An Oblivion Of Death With Their Souls Enslaved
Black Winged Demons Ascend Into The Heavens
The Death Cries Of The Angels Shrill And Piercing
As Their Cold Blood Rains From The Skies
Ravens Take To Flight Into The Dark Night Sky
As Their Shadows Cross The Shining Full Moon
Through Dark Forests And Vast Mountain Lands
The Dark Crusaders Ride Destroying All
Waging Battles For Centuries To Come
Rivers Of Blood Flow Onto
The Black And Barren Landscape
The Ashes Of Burning Ruins
Are Scattered By Freezing North Winds
Beyond The Sun Where The Moon Shines Eternal
And The Night Is Forever Obscured In Shadow
The Lands Are Cold And Frozen In Ice
Majestic In Beauty And Filled With Sorrow
Chilling Winds Cut Through The Mountains And Forests
Barren And Withered, Embraced By Winter
Darkened Skies Mirror The Blackened Soil
Where Walks The Most Beautiful Of Angels
Where Walks The Most Dreadful Of Devils
In A Realm More Beautiful Than A Thousand Heavens
Cast Away For The Crimes Of Endless Pride
But Contented In The Enthronement Of Your Own Image
In Still And Murky Pools May You Dream Forever
Gazing Into The Endless Depths Of Mysteries Unknown
Like Black Thorns That Tear The Flesh In Exquisite Pleasure
Your Knowledge Of All Things Brings Enlightenment Complete
Descend Into This Nether Realm Of The Black Abyss
Ascending Beyond Forbidden Thoughts Scorned
As One Into The Truth Of Darkness And Light
Fierce Lightning Strikes From The Skies
Thunder Breaks In Approaching Storms
From The Almighty Dark
Black Hordes Gather From The North
Riding Forth On Nightmare Steeds
With Hoofs Of Flame And Eyes Of Red
The Stars Are Hidden By Menacingly Dark Clouds,
But The Moon Shines Bright
On Gleaming Black Armor
And Weapons Of War Poised For Battle
The Ancient Sign Of The Dark Crusades Is Risen Above
On A Banner Of Black For All To See
A Symbol Of Hatred And Victory To Come
Dark Horns Resound The Sound For All To Attack
The Dark Minions Meet Their Foes
In Desolate Fields And On Frozen Plains
A Dark Force Charging Into The Blinding White Light
Emanating From Their Enemies To Extinguish It Forever
Pools Of Blood Taint The Moon
A Fearsome Shade Of Crimson Red
Consecrating These Mighty Realms In Unholy Darkness
None Shall Survive As The Dark Crusaders Ride Again
Forever Spreading Eternal War
I Desecrate The One Named Christ
In The Shadow Of Demonic Light
I Burn The Book Of Holy Lies
And Deny The Words Of God
I Spurn The Cross And Ensorcel The Weak
All Dark Knowledge Is Granted To Me
My Words Bespeak Of Sin And Blasphemy
I Am Lord And All Bow To Me
In The Darkness Of Night
I Invade The Souls
Of The Ones Upon Which
I Cast My Spells
Dark Lords Of The Endless Depths
I Call To Thee
To Deliver Unto Me
All Of My Lusts And Desires
I Revel In The Death
And Destruction Of My Enemies
Infernal Winged Being
I Am Demon...
I Invoke The Infernal Names
And Gather The Forces Of Darkness
The Abyssic Gates Are Open To Me
I Am The Death Of All That Is Holy
Christ, Your Blood Is The Wine Of Defeat
You Corrupt The World In Religious Tyranny
Behold, Satan Blessed Be In Our World Of Iniquity
Evil...Hail...
With Blackened Heart I Shred The Meaningless Rosary
And Violate Holy Water To A State Of Impurity
Arms Of Darkness, Open Wide, Wrap Thyselves Around Me
Shower Thy Infernal Blessings Upon My Diabolic Being
Set The Church Aflame, Only Ruins Shall Remain
Our Father Who Art In Hell Unhallowed Be Thy Name
In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas Luceferi Excelsi
I Glorify The Name Of Our Satanic Majesty
"Better To Reign In Hell Than To Serve In Heaven"
I Abhor The Christian Faith With Sorcery As My Weapon
I Hold High The Sign Of The Inverted Cross
And Profanate The Heavens In Sacreligious Mockery
A Warrior Of The Dark And Unholy
I Shall End The Christian Reign
With My Sword Of Evil Wisdom
All Shall Die By My Hand
Torn From The Cross In Tormented Cries
Jesus Lies In Rotting Vomit, Anno Satanas Lucifer Rise
Sodomize The Holy Man With His Crucifix
Let Jesus Taste The Pleasure Of His Own Sins
The Moon Rises Full
In The Dark Night Sky
Casting Shadows Upon
The Snow Covered Trees
The Winter Winds Bring Solitude
An Eerie Silence That
Haunts My Soul
The Windswept Frost
Engulfs My Body
As I Walk Into
The Enchanted Woods
A Blanket Of White
Covers My Path
As I Kneel Before
The Altar Of Stone
In Robes Of Black
I Light Candles In Meditation
Sealed Within
The Sacred Symbol
Within The Magic Circle
I Call To The Forces Beyond
Sepulchral Whispers
Pierce The Silence
Of The Chill Night Air
Diabolic Rites
Invoke Through Spell
The Darkened Gates
Entrance To Another Dimension
Darkness Engulfs The Candles' Flames
In A Realm Of Shadows
Demonic Servants Obey My Commands
Broken Seals Of Seven
The Undoing Of All Creation
Foretells The Coming Dawn
Of Eternal Damnation
Seven Angels Burning As They Fall
Their Trumpets Silent And Broken
The Heavens Are Engulfed In Flames
And Holy Churches Fall In Ruins
The Seas Turn To Blood And The Sky Is Black
As The Throne Of God Is Usurped By Death
The Final Day Of Judgement Denied
All Unworthy Of The Dark Shall Perish
Desolate Eyes Ascend In Hate
Reveling In The Darkness Of Sin
Falling Into The Depths Below
Cast From The Light
Into The Glory Of Hell
Weeping Mortals Undivine
Your Souls Shall Never Rest
Endless Torment Forever Awaits
For We Are The Death Of The Human Race
Demons Tear Your "Sacred" Flesh
To Reap The Innards Of Filth
Fall To Your Knees And Bow
To The Lords Of Darkness
A Dark Shroud Entombs This Eternal Eve
In Ancient And Forgotten Mysteries
Shadows Drift Through The Solemn Graves
Bringing Memories Of Ages Long Past
The Earth's Frozen Tears
Shatter Upon The Stone
Of Memorials Long Forgotten
The Moon Has Cast A Spell
Covering All In It's Frost
The Winter Winds Blow Cold As Ice
Across The Frozen Lands
The Sun No Longer Shines
On A World Forsaken To The Dark
Eternal Winter, The Earth Is Dead
Forever Night, All Is Black
Music: Maldismes, Lord Of The Misty Moors
Lyrics: Ixithra, Lord Of The Sylvan Shadows
Behind The Depths Of Sorrow
Lies The Hidden Path...
Forest Of Infinite Wisdom
Alas The Path Is Found
Dark Branches Of Withered Trees
Tell Dismal Stories By Cold Winds
Nightfall... All Is Still
Kneel In Adoration Of Beautiful Silence
Able To Collect Thoughts Unknown
Behold Autumns Thunder
Storm Of Black Winds
Sweeping The Dust Of Past Nature
Now All Is Tranquil
Adventure Further Onto The Path
Finally Bliss Is Discovered
Never To Depart The Forest Beyond
Sacrificing The Outside World
For Knowledge Unknown
Enter Domains Of Forever Freedom
Behind The Depths Of Sorrow
Music And Lyrics: Vorthrus, Lord Of The Frozen Plains
...And An Angel Of Unheralded Beauty
Was Cast Forth From The Heavens
Foreshadowing All In It's Prophetic Descent
For In The End The Light Shall Falter
And A Fallen Star Shall Succeed The Throne Of Christ
Bringing The World Into Utter Darkness...
Music: Maldismes, Lord Of The Misty Moors
Long Ago I Stood Alone
On A Dark Barren Mountain
Overlooking The Lands Below
I Knelt In Profound Sorrow
Offering My Soul To The Night
I Called Out For Death And Waited,
But As My Life Slowly Faded
The Night Reached Out For Me
And Took Me As It's Child
And A Dark One Came And Offered It's Gift
To Drink Of The Sacred Blood
In Ecstasy Unparalelled By Mortal Lust
I Embraced The Light Of The Moon
And Became One With The Shadows
In Silence I Wept
As I Beheld For The First Time
The Most Beautiful Of All Beauty
Utter Darkness Truly Unblemished By Light
In Pitch Black Of Night
Shrouded In Mist
Bathed In Full Moon Light
Silent, The Forest Surrounds Me
The Wind Blows Cold Through The Trees
I Kneel In Adoration Of The Dark
Deny The Life Of Mortal Ways
Forever Shun The Light Of Day
Live In Eternal Night
Never Again To See The Dawn
Black Clouds Gather Obscuring The Light Of The Moon
Shadows Are Cast In Nocturnal Solitude
The Howling Wolves Call My Name
And An Eternity Of Sorrow Is Reclaimed
As The Spirit Of Night Spirals My Darkened Soul
And Envelopes Me In It's Black Wings
Deny The Life Of Mortal Ways
Forever Shun The Light Of Day
Live In Eternal Night
Never Again To See The Dawn
While working in my shop
I heard the doorbell chime
A stranger stood before me
A chill ran down my spine
He held a written notice
I knew at once was mine
A parched piece of paper
A code I recognized
I knew it was the order
Yet still I was surprised
I was waiting for this day
I was sure I would be fine
Why this feeling in my gut?
Why this reeling in my mind?
I mustn’t show this messenger
Can’t let on I’m insecure
In my homeland I was sure
I was chosen for this reason
Now I’m blind with thoughts of treason
My pounding heart, my palms are sweat
The time has come to pay my debt
I wish my god who guides my hand
Would strike me down now where I stand
For I must choose between my world
And what is now the foreign land
I was waiting for this day
I was sure I would be fine
I curse this feeling in my gut
Damn this reeling in my mind
Will this nausea subside?
Can I abide with this malign?
I wish my god who guides my hand
Would strike me down now where I stand
For I must choose between my world
And what’s become the foreign land
I had the dream last evening
The Elders all were there
Cloaked in hooded garments
Electricity in their hair
They carried water candles
That flickered cobalt blue
And bedroom eyes could not disguise
The evil they would do
While looming in the distance
The silhouetted hills
Were hosting all the victims
And counting up the kills
The sunset streaked a vapor trail
Upon a water color sky
The night folded its wings around me
As I discovered I could fly
I soared above the houses
Through cotton candy skies
The frightened children watching
My image passed across their eyes
While screaming in their bedrooms
The women loved their pain
I lost my grip on heaven
And fell to earth again
The smell of fear engulfed me
It came down from on high
Although I tried to run away
My legs would not comply
I felt upon my shoulder
A bony lifeless hand
It churned a chill inside me
And made me understand
“Ignorance hides in the darkest places
And feeds its poison to its young
You’ll wipe them from existence
You are the chosen one”
Somehow I escaped him
And headed for the sea
Across a field of broken mirrors
Reflecting everything but me
I walked across the water
And came upon a boat
Where Moses and Picasso
Were trying to stay afloat
One was painting flowers
The other skipping stones
When I asked them to explain
They cried, “Leave us alone!”
I hitchhiked back to Ixtlan
That painter stole my van
The locals in Atlantis
Were all working on their tan
And when I tried to warn them
My teeth fell from my mouth
A Snowstorm was approaching
So I headed south
The crowd had just descended
On the beach at Normandy
Where Hitler joined Queen Mary
To have a spot of tea
Now all of this confusion
Made perfect sense to me
It was a revelation
A truth I had to see
The Painter and the Prophet
Got married later on
And took their honeymoon
On the shores of Balaton
The water from the candles
Turned the Ocean cobalt blue
The burnt electric air
He came into my cell today
And offered me a deal
He said he’d check my angle out
To see if I’m for real
He promised me protection
For myself and family
If I co-operate with him
He said I might go free
I told him my great story
He listened quietly
I opened up completely
He started believing me
It seems they had some knowledge of
These men who plan this fury
But never enough evidence
To convince a judge and jury
Together we might stop them
And save the world this time
To bring leaders together
And curb this heinous crime
A task as great as this one
The whole world must agree
The threat of annihilation
Would force them all to see
This most unlikely hero
Who reeks of drink and sweat
Can he be a messiah
The worlds best hope as yet
A task as great as this one
The whole world must agree
The threat of annihilation
Would force them all to see
Should I make this alliance
And throw my fate to chance
A toss of the coin, the luck of the draw
Detective Anthony Dam is alone in his apartment and
drinking heavily.
Although he does not really believe in God, in
desperation he is asking God for help.
I ask forgiveness
I know I've lived in shame
Sometimes I have to wonder
Do you even know my name?
I'm sure it's no surprise to you
There are no heathens in foxholes
But what I want to ask you now
Is coming from my soul
I always kept a picture of you
I haven't looked at it for years
Now I'm reaching out to you
Through my solemn tears
So help me god, I need you now
Don't turn away from me
I swear to you, I shall believe
from this day on
I'm living all alone now
I thought I would be fine
No one at night, to hold me tight
So I don't lose my mind
Now I'm reaching out to you
Through my drunken tears
So help me god, I need you now
Don't turn away from me
I swear to you, I shall believe
From this day on
So help me god
Believe me now
So help me God
Is this what they call freedom
Justice and liberty
To take me unconvicted
And wrongly punish me
To strip me of my clothing
And throw me in this hole
A school of pain, imprisoned
With nothing but my soul
My brothers tried to free me
Their efforts cost their lives
They leave behind a legacy
And several mourning wives
Am I to blame am I insane
What education can be gained
In this school of pain
These men you say were with me
We’re strangers one and all
Our time together in captivity
Unites us to one call
So once again the cure
Is worse than the disease
You wont know my intentions
Till after my release
Are they insane, are they to blame
For the education I have gained
In this school of pain
That witch with the dog
And the cigarette hasn’t caught me yet
They threw that holy book
In the toilet bowl, wretched souls
So once again the cure
Is worse than the disease
You wont know my intentions
Till after my release
I’ve learned the game
At the school of pain
At the school of pain
At the school, the school of pain
I’ve learned the game
The detective finds much of the crazy story is related
to prophecies in the bible.
He is hearing strange voices in his head. They are
telling him to go back to the field where he first
encountered them.
Something is familiar about this crazy story
Where have I heard of this plot before?
Something I read somewhere or a film I've seen
Why is there always darkness at my door?
There's a shadow hanging over me
I hear voices in my head
Revelation, of prophecy!
Is this the end?
Devastation! A tragedy!
Is this the end?
As I search through every library
Desperately looking for an answer
Is my past catching up with me
I can almost see the pages turning faster
What are these voices trying to tell me?
"You will go back to field where you first encountered
us. We have something for you"
I think this is what I'm looking for
This old book so revered by man
Revelation, of prophecy?
Is this the end?
Devastation! A tragedy?
Is this the end?
I think this is what I'm looking for
This ancient book revered by man
Revelation, of prophecy?
Is this the end?
Devastation! A tragedy?
Is this the end?
Dark! The only part that troubles me
Fear! What stands out in my mind
Loss! According to this prophecy
Pain! There's no hope for mankind
I think this is what I'm looking for
This old book so revered by man
Revelation, of prophecy?
Is this the end?
Devastation! A tragedy?
I’m a lowly worker for very little pay
Have to get up early every day
Just to get some pennies in my hand
I made some new friends and they tell me
This is the land of opportunity
I could rise above if I make my stand
I could be a king in my new land
Could have everything in my new land
I could take some threads and make a coat,
Have my own shop and I could vote
I think I want to stay in my new land
I never knew that freedom could be so sweet
If I had a girl my life would be complete
We could walk the beaches, hand in hand
We could build a house with a white gate
I could walk the dog and we could stay up late
Bringing up the baby would be so grand
I could be a king in my new land
Could have everything in my new land
I could take some threads and make a coat,
Have my own shop and I could vote
I think I’ll make a note to change my plan
In my new land
In my new land
Learning how to sing in my new land
W.W.IV has started. Enter the political beast!
Detective Anthony Dam has the prisoner out of jail on
probation and is watching him closely.
He wants the prisoner to meet with the leaders of the
plot to try to get them
to stop their plan.
Now the eagle flies to aid her fallen sister
Fear and anger growing around the world
Blinded, the false prophet still rings his bell
Signaling his soldiers to march into hell
We've learned to live in pain and fear
We know the end is very near
Never ask for whom the bell is tolling
Never ask me, don’t ask me
Never ask for whom the bell is tolling
It tolls for thee
It tolls for thee!
Now the story is getting old
It's all they talk about on TV
It's nearly over and then we're told
Another twenty dead, another three
The fragile hope is history
Talks of peace turn to words of war
The skies are filled with birds of prey
That devour any hope for peace today
Fight or flight
Wrong or right
Day and night
This is our daily plight
Never ask for whom the bell is tolling
Don't ask, don’t ask me
Never ask for whom the bell is tolling
It tolls for thee
The prisoner goes to meet with the so-called “
leaders”.
Detective Dam follows unseen but is shocked at what he
observes.
The prisoner disappears and is nowhere to be found for
days.
I trailed him under cover of night
Down a dark and dusty road, out of sight
He disappeared completely right before my eyes
There beneath the pale moonlight
A flash of burning color
A fire in the trees
A sickening vibration
Brought me to my knees
A frozen fire
Burned my eyes
Am I dreaming, is it real?
Liquid lightning
Cracked the skies
Have I lost my mind?
I had no drink or smoke
My mind was crystal clear
I can't explain
How did he disappear?
My thoughts were going in and out
I barely made it home
I can't forget the fear I felt
Frozen in my bones
I thought I saw him vanishing
Into a metallic cloud
It hovered right above me
But it didn’t make a sound
A Frozen fire
Burned my eyes
Am I dreaming?
Liquid lightning cracked the skies
Have I lost my mind?
A Frozen fire
Burned my eyes
Am I dreaming?
Liquid lightning cracked the skies
A Frozen fire
Burned my eyes
Am I dreaming?
Liquid lightning cracked the skies
The huge explosion is explained on the news.
There has been a nuclear attack in the Middle East.
Nations turn from working together to national defense.
Final nuclear world war is breaking out.
So sad the story like a dream
Millions of voices suddenly turned to steam
The final battle has begun
A wanton war that won't be won
Mothers clutch their wailing child
The fig tree burns; their tiny cries can't be calmed
Raining fire from the sky
Arrows that hold the power of the sun
Like ants they scramble for their homes
The fragile walls cannot keep out the storm
Raging waters wash all hope away
All can hear a sound
Like oceans crashing down
Whenever the wind blows for 7 years
Nothing can grow, everything dies
Littering roads with still glowing bones
Find one, you'd better leave it alone
Great cities fall one by one
All Leaders call “Johnny get your gun"!
The little man takes the world stage
Still denying his deployment of the rage
The Snake snorts, spouting lies
The Eagle descends and plucks out his eyes
Overnight the world is changed
A viscous vengeance in the false prophets name
Fires light the sky
For all to see
One thousand years of peace
A naive fantasy
Radioactive the seven seas
Poison will flow, and ebb with the tide
Disrupted food chains all that is needed for life to
survive
Gone in the blink of an eye
The King of Terror... the Anti-Christ
We must destroy him...join the fight
His hand 200 million strong
Descends upon you. Join the fight
Send the children... your tender young
Sacrifice them...join the fight
200 million, marching...join the fight
Women, children, crying...join the fight
Hopeless Heroes, dying...join the fight
Why was I planted here?
A thorn in the world’s side
Working stealthily
Until my time arrives
No one knows my real name
I’m a threat to all
Although I seem so tame
The quiet man who fixes the shoes
I await the call that awakens me
To my true purpose
I must never tell
Keep my secret well
Day by day I find
No one sees my mind
When they tell me that it’s time
I won’t have to act so kind
Then the world will know
These events will show
Who will win – who will lose
But for now I will hide
All this angst I have inside
The prisoner returns with a crazy story. He tells the
detective that
there are 6 other angels of death and that his captors
were not of this world.
There is to be a great reckoning. He and the other six
have been instructed to carry out the “plan” very soon.
(spoken)
Where have you been? What happened out there that
night?
I was taken.....
Taken?
What do you mean, taken?
I was paralyzed
I could not speak
But only listen
I was not alone
There were six others
Assigned to the mission
We were not bound but
We could not move
While they spoke
Don't look at me that way
This is not a joke
Their eyes were black, a soul they lack
I can't go back, I must complete my task
Don't look at me that way
Their eyes were black, a soul they lack
I can't go back again
They're not from this world
They're from far away
I know it sounds crazy
The other six are poised to strike
Any day now
Trust me when I say
Our days are numbered
My eyes rolled back, my mind went blank
I woke in a tank, they stood above me
They stood above me
They told me the plan
They have for man
We must prepare for a great reckoning
The meek they shall inherit
What is left after the storm
The worst you can imagine
Soon will be the norm
The rising, raging water
The melting of the earth
Will bring us all to the feet
Of the only one of worth
The enemies of god are in the wind
The enemies of god are all who’ve sinned
So why were we created
If no hope does exist
Day to day in turmoil
We cannot fill their wish
Can we all be merely fodder?
Some great cosmic mistake
There has to be an answer
Detective Anthony Dam is prepared for his final
destination. He is told the truth and the reasons for
everything. He is the sole survivor and the only living
carrier of the human DNA. He will be placed in a
cleared spot back on Earth, in a garden, in order for
human life to flourish again.
The only thing he will remember is his name and that he
was placed there by his creator, a superior being. He
is wearing the remnants of a shirt with his name
embroidered; “A. Dam” on the pocket.
The captors refer to him as “Adam”. Before being placed
on the surface, some DNA is taken from one of his ribs
in order to create for him a female companion.
Long ago our visits were recorded on great stones
As man became more sinister he was best left alone
Those in power hid the truth though some had learned
first hand
We are the real creators of what lived upon this land
For centuries your people searched for the meaning of
life
Believed in many different stories
That might help them in their strife
Now for you the truth will no longer be concealed
Now the time has come for you when all will be revealed
So kneel!
We are the lords; we’re your creators
Place no other before us
Kneel Down, we’re your creators
Place no other before us
Who are you really and why am I here?
Way down below us, what’s that blue sphere?
Is that the earth, why am I bound?
One hundred thousand miles above ground?
It's all too hard to grasp,
I'm trying to believe you
I suppose that you
Made the dinosaurs too?
“No, that was somebody else”
What about the jungle animals
All the wildlife, cats and dogs?
“Some of our finest work”
“Now you shall learn the truth”
You were but hosts for the DNA
This precious code must not fade away
We made your kind to keep it alive
Now only you can ensure that it survives
We are the lords; we’re your creators
Place no other before us
Kneel Down, we’re your creators
Place no other before us
We are the lords; we’re your creators
We made your world now we took it away
Kneel Down, we’re your creators
Go now 'Adam', make your life you are our last recruit
Just be sure you don't partake of the forbidden fruit!
When left to your devices
Allowed to plant your seeds
The only fruits you harvest
Are ones that serve your needs
Now there’s new crusade
And what fuels this great unrest
Is Greed
Greed!
I really don’t know how
You can’t see that now there’s no
Need… for greed…
Ditch the fancy car
Hitch your wagon to my star and
You’ll be freed
We tried to live in harmony
To co-exist in peace
Religion and economy
Strange bedfellows are these
Ambitions, plans and purposes
Disguised as basic need
They are not virtues after all
They are the evil seed…of
Greed!
I really don’t know how
You can’t see that now there’s no
Need… for greed…
Ditch the fancy car
Hitch your wagon to my star and
You’ll be freed
According to one’s power
According to his need
Everyone would prosper but for greed
The power and the riches
All bought with genocide
Can’t buy a place to hide from your
Greed! Greed!
I really don’t know how
You can’t see that now there’s no
Need… for greed…
Ditch those fancy cars
Hitch your wagons to my star
And you’ll be freed
The evil seed was planted
So many years ago
It’s not too late to save ourselves
We will reap what we sow
The ones who say there is no hope
Who plan this great demise
Might see a different picture
If we learn to compromise
I stand now at the crossroads
A world of lives at stake
So many souls depend on
This choice that I must make
Should I be a good soldier
And do this deadly deed
Or can I try to alter
The nature of the seed
Greed!
The detective goes back to the field where he saw the
strange occurrence.
He is taken this time. The captors speak to him.
While he is with the captors, the plot is carried out
and all life on the earth is destroyed.
He is the only survivor.
Can you hear the sound of Bazuzu in victory dance?
I tell you none of this is happening by chance
We gave you mountains, rivers and streams
We gave you woman that she may fulfill your dreams
Gave you the elements so you'd find fossil fuel
Wildlife companions but to them you have been cruel
We are not pleased with you!
Now your reign here is through!
Gave you free will with which to do as you may please
Gave you commandments but you did not follow these
Your whole world hangs at the end of the rope
We were amused when you thought you had a new hope
We gave you the choice of good or evil now and then
They both exist but only in the hearts of men
Our 7 angels will fulfill your prophecies
Destroy the world below and everything that breathes
(spoken)
Now…
Bowl 1 is poured out on the land
Bowl 2 is poured out on the sea.
Bowl 3 is poured out on the rivers
Bowl 4 on the sun
Bowl 5 is poured out over the throne of the beast
Bowl 6 over the Euphrates, the kingdom of the beast on
earth
Bowl 7 is poured out into the air and the cities of the
nations collapsed
Corrupt politicians, purveyors of law
Give us daily bread, but not a crumb more
Premiers, Presidents and leaders of men
Fleece us like sheep again and again
All we can do is suffer the grief
And shake our heads in disbelief
A penny here, a dollar there
We’re nickel’d and dime’d into despair
If we should ever come on days
When all would start to change their ways
There’d still be some who would only see
A brand new opportunity
I’d go along and wag my tail
But still they’d throw me in their jail
I watch the news and wonder why
They never seem to catch that guy
He knows the game as well as I
And that is why he won’t be
Captured
Now religious leaders speak out
Offensive words cast shadows of doubt
Those who listened but still haven’t heard
Live by the sword but they’ll die by the word
I sit in my room of closed windows and doors
And ponder my fate as I stare at the floors
If I never let anyone get close to me
Then maybe I can still remain free
Not powdered wigs nor robes of silk
Can ever govern me
Lest I’d be captured
A wisp of wind, the rustle of leaves
A ghost-like movement among the trees
Thunder echoed in the distance
No compliance, no resistance
I arose to a day of conflict
A shattered dream by the telephone’s ring
Words shake the cobwebs
Loose from my head
An exchange of words turned from green to red
And sparked a day of conflict
The heavens move like a film at high speed
While miles below
I’m feeling its pull
I try to resist but I’m swallowed up whole
Into the bowels of conflict
Electric air shocks the waves in my brain
A subtle effect from the wind and the rain
Thunder cracks open
A hole in the sky
To water the seed of conflict
A shattered dream by the telephone ring
Words shake the cobwebs
Loose from my head
I can only cling to the edge of my bed
While praying in the park today
The fairest girl did pass my way
I confess my mind did go astray
Another kind of heaven
I convinced myself it was ok
I could always pray another day
She was like a prayer anyway
A different path to heaven
I found my love
I did not expect it
I found my love
Days were turning into months soon after
I was living just to hear her laughter
Dancing in the park-the very spot
Where I used to pray
I admit that I did go astray
I knew there would be a price to pay
I found my love
I did not expect it
I found my love
On Wall Street the players all practice the art of the
deal
In L.A. the freeway puts drivers to sleep at the wheel
The hum of the jet planes that rattle the windows below
These people have so much to learn, but I will return
The priests and the teachers that violate their oath to
serve
The stories in tabloids all seem to expose a raw nerve
The murder for money, the news a reality show
The kids watch the High Schools burn, yet I will return
High paid politicians that promise a world of relief
Their carefully chosen words hiding the plans of a
thief
The popular President smiles and declares a new war
The pages of history turn, so I will return
A man in a prison found hanging alone in his cell
Had scratched on the walls a true story too gruesome to
tell
His music touched millions but did he touch the
children as well?
The courts of opinion adjourn, and I will return
The story repeated for forty days and forty nights
The faithful that followed them offered up earthly
delights
The sirens were singing and bringing them all to the
light
(Spoken)
“Not every man is lucky enough
To know what he was born to be”
I think I understand now
It was no accident
The purpose of this action
Is a world-changing event
The ultimate solution
To the hopeless state were in
Can only be destruction
Of the incarnates of sin
The histories have proven
No real progress was made
Ten thousand years of struggle
And no man’s soul was saved
I will accept the calling
I shall embrace my fate
To bring the Armageddon
To both the small and great
The passages in bibles
And Nostradamus states
That only through destruction
Can we pass through heaven’s gates
With one great euthanasia
This virus known as man
Will disappear forever
And purify the land
I will accept the calling
I shall embrace my fate
A long shot heard ‘round the world
Got everyone’s attention
On every front page and every TV
A call for the redemption
Never could a handful of good
Defeat the fist of evil
The powerful few whose weapons are new
Still fight a war medieval
(Spoken)
“Ask yourself is this the life you want for your own
children
Acknowledge this and brick by brick a new world we’ll
be building”
With arms laid down
Would come a new hope
With tolerance
Would come a new hope
With faith and trust
Would come a new hope
So try we must
To find a new hope
The winds of change can only blow
With willingness and faith
If seven wonders exist in the world
This truly would be the eighth
(Spoken)
“Leaders from every country will be meeting today
To decide how to handle this global terror threat”
