A descent into the darkest realm of time
When cruelty was an abstract form of ugliness
Accusations of sacrilege, the terror was real
What fell over the land was hatred forced with steel
The servants of power unleashed tyranny
No one to escape from the shield of hypocrisy
For decades the poor have been the defenseless
Slaughter and mayhem under the wings of the cross
Extremity in ways too savage to realize
In rotten dungeons the screams seemed to vanish
Perversion, monstrosity, undeserved suffering
Horrible ways to "discover" all heretic sinners
When twisted minds fulfill the spiral prophecy
To work hand in hand with death is efficiency
No pity for any form of supplication
Just continuing acts of bestial eliminations
A whispering wind blows mournful over the scorched plains
Unnoticed by the ignorant masses the end has begun
Will the praised new leader be as foolish as his precursor
And will he gather total mischief around him to spread out?
Let this winter of our discontent be over
Finish the cruelty and embrace another day
Will we stay or are we condemned to fall?
A long awaited decision is about to be pronounced
Fate has been stressed for an awful long time
The judge of dusk stays back in preposterous rapture
He nourishes himself from solitude he likes to share
The whispering wind swells to a grinding roar
For the final battle they start to prepare
All hopes are torn apart by grim morbidity
The path to "hell" is paved with so many bad intentions
The winter of our discontent will never be over
Embrace the cruelty, let this be the last day
I want to fall, and you will too...
Welcome to the new age of terror
Hatred's here like you've never seen before
The madness has settled over to stay
What we can't stand, we kill anything that's in our way
Decadence defines the existent chaos
Trapped are we with ruthless servants
The image in the mirror is weakened
Watch as life in every form is cheapened
Emotions are frozen in the blink of an eye
The sky has to burn, I forgot the reason why...
My memories are fading, what started this insanity?
Walk with me through the forest of morality
We've passed the chapter of chaos just this second
Silence outside - I'd like to dwell in this moment
When emptiness is your longtime companion
You lose yourself in everlasting oblivion...
Within the stench of the burning air
Comes the conclusion of having gone too far
Fading away is the concept of terror
To withdraw from the human mind forever
Beyond forgiveness - reflecting distortion
Absolute silence - no need for remorse
Gathering darkness will shelter my soul
Returning to origin - man's own black hole
Decades of errors were filled with selfish torment
Decades of horror as the continents were burning
Insanity is hidden under above's holy grace
It forces the mighty for the weak ones to trace
All laughter and sorrow is sure to be vanished
Now there's space after everyone is punished
In my consciousness deep feelings of shame
Will I take them with me forever to remain?
Beyond forgiveness - twisting expulsion
Absolute silence - too late for remorse
Gathering darkness is spreading out cold
Returning to origin - man's own black hole
The emanation of destruction goes on
Fortune is buried under walls
What is left behind our lives
Are the ruins of a global starvation
The result of a deadly ecology
Reverses the order of things
Nothing will prevent the age of chaos
And the premonition won't be heard
Warzones - under a burning sun
Warzones - the recapture of nature begins
The recreant still try to ignore
The forthcoming downfall of a crumbling earth
Oceans filled with blackened poison
Now rivers of blood run cold
Ashes bombard the hallowed ground
Detonations burn the dirty air
Apocalypse progress towards completion
Unloaded dustraids through awesome fires
Warzones - under a burning sun
Warzones - fall into the flames of anguish
Within the everlasting silence
The dreadful claims for the crown
When anything that had ever existed
Lies trembling on the burned ground...
While walking through the corridors of power
Beware of delusions that only drag you down
You serve a system built on intrigues and cheat
Maybe there's no way to escape your own defeat
Can you still see the shape of the enemy?
As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery
You wished for a shining return of the empire
Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire?
The omens were there - you failed to see
New allies add to the list of fatalities
Unable to recognize you're just a part of something greater
A new age is coming, hard to accept your role as a puppet
Can you still see the shape of the enemy?
Your shame goes hand in hand with sin and misery
Glory you wanted, for a conquering empire
Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire?
Why is there a monster on the throne?
You put it there, now terror of silence reigns all alone
May this loneliness fade away from your personal dome
Sometimes even shadows can guide us the way home...
Can you still see the shape of the enemy?
As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery
Pain is all you received for the beloved empire
Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire?
We carry the disguised gift throughout the centuries
Leaving behind a trail of tears and shame
Through decaying souls that long for flesh and youth
We're bound to stare into the abyss of our minds
They are imposters for all times
Gone now, amused by our struggle
They were strategic leaders
And I can see their grinning faces
Some fools they were to charish us with such novelty
Or were they masters of invention, imposters for all times?
It's too late to lay it down, this instrument of danger
Used in (the) dark ages, can you hear their distant laughter?
On the turn of another era, will it be our last?
And if it's so, you can be sure that they've done their best
Some day the race of leeches will only be a memory
With all its arrogance, wiped out for good, wouldn't you agree?
Fragments of the past are covered by the sands of time
Innocence is lost again, the path of peace is left behind
Distorted, enraged voices
They vanished from all our twisted minds
Are these decades of fear and hate the answer to our own seclusion?
The written word has turned to dust only to rise again
Now the great eclipse is here and falls over the cold wasteland
Segments of the future are hidden by the clouds of shame
We've followed absurd dreams, be sure that you're awake now
Distorted, enraged voices
Are never to be heard around here no more
Follow the journey up the stream of madness
Enter a world of misty and unbalanced tragic
Leave behind your certain, miserable existence
And sagacity will greet you in the cruelest of forms
Witness the jungle fall to pieces
Man's mind is lacerated and disintegrated
Discord with one's inner self
Leads to extreme defense mechanisms
Out here the hunger for divinity dwells
It's so "goddamn" easy to get carried away
Reciting poems of a twisted, worn out mind
While the dissolution crawls up all of their awaiting necks
Witness the apocalypse here and now
The stench of decay is already filling the air
Discord with one's inner self
Leads to devastation of silent resistance
Devastation of silent resistance
Devastation of silent resistance
Follow the journey up the stream of madness
Enter a world of misty and unbalanced tragic
Leave behind your certain, miserable existence
And sagacity will greet you in the cruelest of forms
The terrible noise of machine-gun fire
Destroys the arctic silence
A new generation of high-tech assassins
Follows the footsteps of their ancestors
Stranded to kill without remorse
Cruel slaughter goes on
The world has been haunted uncountless times
Our history of bloodshed does proof
The end has come through a burst of storms
We're damned to extinction, the guilty will burn
Existence is worthless on our march into doom
Man's fate was buried long ago
Driven by a martial, perverted desire
The individual doesn't belong here anymore
The environmental overkill has reached a new dimension
Through the last pale century
The crusade leads to the final entombment
Nothing will be forgiven
Mankind drifts into the forthcoming chaos
Unknown of the horrible truth
The abolished instincts gather strength
And invert the civilisation
The balance of power is lost
Without prospect to hide the default
Under the sentence of death
We'll welcome the funeral exhaustion...
You can't deny
Voices deep within
Fierce is the blade that stands in your way
Bound by misfortune to lead you astray
Right of the chosen to search for a brighter day
You have seen your last tomorrow
Now I shall return
From the ashes of the fallen
I shall be reborn
As I ride across this wasteland
I will stain with blood and rage
Till the glory is restored
I am a warrior forlorn
Reach for my hand
You will see the light
Gods of the earth have blessed you my friend
Break out from the chains you are free once again
Rise on the mountain and wait for your soul to ascend
And all together
We'll keep the flame alive
Time, where are you now?
Why can't I find?
Are you the essence of change in my mind?
Doesn't life feel prearranged,
Destined to make me choose?
But I believe I will to be
Seeing through the eyes of time
Uncover secrets of history
Experience a state of mind
Living for eternity
Seeing through the eyes of time
Feel the pain of so many years
Searching for what you'll never find
Learning to fight back your tears
No turning back
Never to see
What lies in the hands of your own destiny
And life is so strange
The eyes of time are watching me
Knowing no sorrow or fear
Judged by his spirit
The last rite is here
From the dark the pure have survived
The age of enlightenment
Now has arrived
Searching for signs to show him the way
A call from within
To rise on this day
One soul in this perilous fight
To strike at the heart
Of the enemy's might
Hellish lands burning his mind
The fate of the world
The hope of mankind
Now witness the grand final stand
All is his choice
His will to command!
Riding with forces of old
The alliance reborn again
The story is told
Why do we listen to a crowd of fools,
Always choosing what others would want?
Inside my mind the demons arise
My soul bleeding for retribution
The light that shines in my eyes
Spirit show me the way
Guiding me from the lies
To live another day
Throughout the years so many in pain
Far too long we failed to see
Those who love the power they wield
Why all this need for persecution?
The light that shines in my mind
Path I walk alone
Search for freedom my guide
Can't wait another day
On this journey of life
I seek to find my destiny
I hear it calling, calling out for me...
Fear surrounds the world I see
Ignorant bliss all that they know
Persevere through chaos
Reach for wisdom deep in my soul
Faith and reason co-exist
Learn to think, I shall not be blind
What they choose to criticize
Really what they choose to hide behind
Now at last the time has come
When we die where do we go?
Seeking hope in desperation
Promises are false contentment
Will the soul endure it's forsaken fate
To break from bone and flesh?
Reach it's final destination,
Will we know?
As I ride on the river of time
Memories flooding my dreams
Trust in that which insight reveals
Flame of truth set us free
Plural minds in a world of disguise
Separate thoughts, subjective ideals
Appearances we take for the truth
Is our essence a higher reality?
"At last we have ventured through timeless ages in a quest for
Truth. While fighting to seek answers to life's epic questions,
We abandoned the lies of others to discover our own way.
We have broken the will of the weak-minded deceivers and
Thus have strengthened our own. We are the chosen ones.
My travels through lands of peril and fear
I feel the end of my worries is near
And now with the time, I gaze towards the sky
To think of the way that my life has passed by
The mysteries of life and reality
Have started to form and consume all of me
I live through the night with every bright star
And realize the answers might lie somewhere far
This moment won't last forever
I hope it will stay in my thoughts and my heart
To look at the heavens and think we're alone
The mystery lives on, for no one knows...
These stars so bright and far away
What I'm feeling it's hard for me to say
All I know is until my final day
This driving force I have inside
It lets my dreams forever guide
Can't live no more with this reality
On golden wings I will defy
This savage world condemned to die
My soul will live for all eternity
Somehow my consciousness was born
Senses unite and now I know
Feel the strength within me
I'll create my destiny
Heart of dreams
Guide me on
The future waits to be
It's up to me
Heart of dreams
Living the way that I want
I will set my spirit free
Night after night, dreaming again, still searching
Rising purely to the source of light
Realize the truth and don't look back, flame burning
There's a meaning and it's always in sight
Search deep inside of yourself
Hope a new age will reveal
Sometimes it's hard to follow your way
And never to give in
Better to try than just fade away...
We travelled so far
Through space and time
As I greet the coming day
I know that I was blind
Memories they come and go
Vanishing into the night and I
Look inside to find the truth
Searching for the light
Burning hearts
Rise with the sun
Joining together we are one
Souls of truth
Stand and believe
Forever triumphant we'll be
Now walking alone
The wind in my face
Emotions by my side
That I shall embrace
A call to the heavens
A cry from my soul
I live in the moment
