1. The Lake
Silently gazing at myself in the mirror of truth
Where memories and destinies dwells
Dried rivers crossing my reflection
Scars so deep in flesh and soul
I see that dark stain in my eye
The one that won't go away
What could have hurt me so bad
I remember the lake
The lake of
my youth
I wrote you name in the water
To forgive and to forget
A glimpse of light eternally
Sanctuary, a sacred place
Where the Children are like clay
Salvation dwells in blue eyes
Insomnia, in a silent dress
WHITE WIZARDS AND RED DEMONS
OFFSPRINGS FINALLY PUTTING ME TO SLEEP
Shut the door of evolution
The journey ahead
It scares me immensely
Escalating years
Please let me direct the end
Accelerating scenes around me
Returning to the lake of youth
Again it makes me feel so calm
The name in the water is long since gone
Finally I yearn for old grayness
At the lake, fear no more
2. Black Hours
Endless plains of grey
Coldness sweeps my soul
All lies in
Silence
Far below
The starry sky
A forlorn journey
On a path to nowhere
From where
Have I come?
Is this all
There will be?
MY MEMORIES
ARE LEAVING SCARS
PLEASE LEFT THIS PAIN
OFF FROM MY HEART
Desperate hours of black
With this pain devouring
All my strength
To go on
All my will
To exist
MY MEMORIES
ARE LIVING SCARS
PLEASE LET THIS PAIN
OFF FROM MY HEART
3. Born From Shadows
"At last! The saviour is here!
Brought forth from the western darkness
Our hope! For the peace we sought
For so long, will it finally come?
The black Cyclone will engulf
The World and leave nothing behind
The end of our suffering, our pain
Release us from this earthbound tomb"
DEEP IN THE GROUND, HIDDEN FROM THEIR EYES
THE LIVING WILL ENVY THE DEAD
WHO HAVE FOUND PLACE, IN THE BEYOND
ETERNAL REST FOR THE SOUL
The harvest moon, ominous gaze
From blackned sky, all-seeing eye
Fills man's weak heart, with fear and with woe
Shivering souls, imminent doom
Clear as the ice, the Moonstone glows
Creator of life, bringer of hope
Bright as the Sun, with fire inside
Born from shadows, tool of the end
The time will come
The end is at hand
The two will clash
And bring from the dark
Night of all nights
Endless peril and loss
The time will come
For the world to fall
WIELDING THE STAFF OF DEATH AND (THE) DARK
RELENTLESS BRINGER OF THE END
SACRIFICE IN BLOOD, FOR THE RED STONE
TO BRING DESTRUCTION TO ALL
Silence spreads over the cold plains
Cold wings blow through the trees
The time for the twins to become one
The call of destiny is upon us
Slowly
The end draws nearer
In a flash of light
All fades to black
4. Come To Me
Eventide, at last, is here
Close my eyes and greet it presence
I can feel the void that feeds
On my sanity, in my mind
My flesh....and soul
No more....all gone
Oh, this pain, it stains my world
Blinds my eyes, Cloacs my reality,
Leaving nothing but a bleak shadow
Of what once was
No more....all gone
My scars they speak to me
Memories carved into my weak flesh
COME TO ME
DARKNESS
SET ME FREE
EMPTINESS
Restless nights and empty eyes
Ridden with nightmares, night and day
The abyss within my soul
So vast, overwhelming, consuming
My past....future
COME TO ME
DARKNESS
SET ME FREE
EMPTINESS
SPEAK TO ME
SILENCE
SET ME FREE
NOTHINGLESS
5. My Angel
Strenghted by my rest my uninvited guest
Just like an insect which is featuring on my spine
Somewhere inside my plague decides to hide
Twisting all my bones until they turn to stone
My angel, please give me strength
I dream of you, I'll wait for you
All my secrets that I have kept inside
Will come to the surface when you arrive
TURNING AROUND TO SEE MY FIRES BURN
ONE FRAGILE GLANCE TO SEE MY PAST
SOON MY BONES LIE PALE AND WHITE
Hiding in my deepest corner
Where all my secrets dwell
Now I look at you
It makes me feel so fine
You're healing me in vain
There is no cure for me
My angel you gave me strangth
An exploding star embrace my soul
All my secrets that I have kept inside
Seems so futile now when you are here
TURNING AROUND TO SEE MY FIRES BURN
ONE FRAGILE GLANCE TO SEE MY PAST
SOON MY BONES LIE PALE AND WHITE
6. Condemned
A rose dark as coal
Born in the wrong shape in a world so fierce
Exposed with no voice
Innocence is lost
Her will tears her down
She will not crawl down in shame
One way adultery will be her misery
Corruption steals her hope within the court of men
Treated like an under aged with no escape from fate
Waiting for God's call from the court of men
The verdict black and cold
The stones will kill her soul
And heal the shame she brought upon her flesh and blood
Half buried in the sand with her shackled arms
The mindless horde of men are screaning out God's name
THE BLACK ROSE CHAINED DOWN
ASKING WHY SHE WAS BETRAYED
HER OWN BLOOD TOOK HER SOUL
TEARS DISAPPEAR IN THE SAND OF DEATH
Religions abuse
No expressions
Waiting for the sign
The sign of innocence
The audience is blind
Before the black rose
Dressed in white
Betryal of blood
Blood loses it meaning
Fear of helplessness
The bloodstone is worst
Gives pain to the heart
Please End this suffering
The face goes numb
Embracing stones at last
Welcoming her demice
SHE WHISPERS LIKE A MANTRA
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?
THE BLACK ROSE CHAINED DOWN
ASKING WHY SHE WAS BETRAYED
HER OWN BLOOD TOOK HER SOUL
TEARS DISAPPEAR IN THE SAND OF DEATH
SHE WHISPERS LIKE A MANTRA
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?
7. When All Is Black
When I am all alone
When all is black
I lay myself down
When all is black
I slowly close my eyes
When all is black
And prepare myself to die
When all is black
