Nightmare

a temple with my heart of stone...

Our stretcher has seen all the pain in the world
Everywhere I can hear crying
All by myself in the heart of the town
From everyone and anyone
I'm always there, the human savior
In total oblivion
I carry my painful distress

Lost in a temple of tears
I'm cold and I'm alone
Lost in a temple with my heart of stone...


2. A Taste Of Armageddon


From beyond the northern seas
A new winter has begun
I see reasons to be afraid
When the poles reverse the seasons
And the earth is getting cold
Then we know our chance of life is gone

Change this world of ice
Will we ever stop this devastation all around?
Burn this world of lies
Will we live to share this legacy and tell them what we've found?

Watch the lightning hits the sky
Piles of dust growing high
Termination of the human reign
A rain of stones begins to fall
Tidal waves hit the shores
And the final storm will change it all

Change this world of ice
Will we ever stop this devastation all around?
Burn this world of lies
Will we live to share this legacy and tell them what we've found?

And close your eyes and drift away
And keep your dreams of yesterday

Change this world of ice
Will we ever stop this devastation all around?
Burn this world of lies
Will we live to share this legacy and tell them what we've found?...


3. Messenger Of Faith


I've been sailing so far
In a sea of strangers
I know there is no turning back
I am the last passenger
I will defend my crown
The trail is open wide
I forsake my kingdom
Nothing else to sacrifice

Like a soldier under command...
I am a messenger of faith
Ready to die a hero's death
I am a messenger of faith, I am a messenger

I find the golden age
I defy the thunder
Still there is no turning back
I am the last warrior
I have to civilize
A million miles away
I erase my wisdom
I lost my soul but I will stay

Like a soldier under command...
I am a messenger of faith
Ready to die a hero's death
I am a messenger of faith, I am a messenger

You can't take my dreams away
I will live another way
I can't live another life
And see my life passing by
I won't shred another tear
I don't want to live in fear...


4. Secret Rules (Beati Paoli)


I hide behind a veil
The mighty code of silence
I ride a masquerade
To the sign of the cross, you dance
I feel the fire for the glory of our society
(In nomine dei paoli) I'm the keeper of honesty

Secret code of silence, secret code of fear
Is not just a legend, it is so real

All this time, I hold a pledge
I adore the ancient runes
Secular, magic rituals
Come celebrate! The secret rules

I lead the seven knights
And I feel eternally free
I hide the holy rite
For a pledge of secrecy
Fighting unfearness
In this endless battlefield

Secret code of silence, secret code of fear
Is not just a legend, it is so real

All this time, I hold a pledge
I adore the ancient runes
Secular, magic rituals
Come celebrate! The secret rules!...


5. The Dressmaker


I see a distant light
My blood is running cold
Smell of destruction
Madman's obsession
No one can hear my calls
I feel a whisper grazing me

House of fear, in the lair of the beast
For the dressmaker, I'm a simple peace

A prey of the carver
...of human skin...

My hands are strongly tied
And I'm screaming out to die
I smell his dirty breath
His eyes are filled with death
Mortal destruction, with no salvation
The hangman is by my side
I feel a whisper grazing me
House of fear, in the lair of the beast
For the dressmaker, I'm a simple peace
A prey of the carver

...of human skin...

I can hear a sound
He drags me across the floor
I feel a blade cuts my flesh
Hurting me more, more and more...
Don't worry, I will finish my work...

Smell of destruction
Madman's obsession
No one can hear my calls
I feel a whisper grazing me
House of fear, in the lair of the beast
For the dressmaker, I'm a simple peace
A prey of the carver

...of human skin...


6. Endless Agony


A piece of my story in cell number 3
From this jail, there's no return
Freedom has a price, there's nothing I can do
When will my dream come true?

I'll never see the sun
I'm a victim on the run

I'm screaming out of pain
Shout it loud to be free!
I'm screaming out of pain
Shout it loud! Freedom, life... I wanna prosper!

My place had no glory, my town had no hope
I had to learn to be strong
They wanted to command what I had to do
And put me away for so long

I'll never see the sun
I'm a victim on the run

I'm screaming out of pain
Shout it loud to be free!
I'm screaming out of pain
Shout it loud! Freedom, life... I wanna prosper!


7. Paranormal Magnitude Part II


Searching... hiding the light
Burning inside
Coming back to life
Rising
Shining in the mist!

Searching... hiding the light


8. Circle Of The Dark


We like to play a dangerous game
When the dusk is hiding the moonlight
Inside our brains, no rules subside
Desperation, divination
Who knows we will cross the line?
Celebration and say good bye to your mind

Be a part of the cast, sign your name
Be a shade of the past, carved on the wall of shame

Here we are, in the circle of the dark
We live our life at the dead of the night
Here we are and the hounds will bark
And we're gonna die after midnight

We try to taste a dark sensation
When out soul is reaching afterlife
Inside our heart, it's cold as ice
A new dimension, annihilation
A light is shining bright behind
Condemnation...
We're lost in space and time

Be a part of the cast, sign your name
Be a shade of the past, carved on the wall of shame

Here we are, in the circle of the dark
We live our life at the dead of the night
Here we are and the hounds will bark
And we're gonna die after midnight


9. Haunting Memories


When I look at this picture
Searching a reason to stay alive
I realize when I see your eyes
That I can't bet on the future anymore

I still remember our life
I still recall everything we did together
I still remember our life
I'm still... missing you

I break the silence to hear my pain
I search your presence but I know it's in vain
I recognize the sacrifice to put in order
The fragments of the past

I still remember our life
I still recall everything we did together
I still remember our life
I still recall...

Cry a diamond!

Haunting memories will never fade
Cry a diamond wish I could go with you
I still remember our life
I still recall everything we did together
I still remember our life...
I'm still missing you...
I still remember our life
I still recall everything and every day
I still remember our life...

I'm still... missing you


10. Heretic


In the past, I was serving the preachers
The masters I implored
Sometimes, there's no more beliefs in my fate
I say no prayers no more

And by the flames I will be burnt
I'm a defender of god
I feel it deep down in my guts
I feel his glowing fire

The judgement is done
I bring with me all the secrets of the knights
The sentence will come
I take with me all the riddles of the rite

All is gone and my soul disappeared
I left blood on my soil
Sometimes, I'm denying the sense when I prey
I can't find my god anymore

And by the flames I will be burnt
I'm a defender of god
I feel it deep down in my guts
I feel his glowing fire

The judgement is done
I bring with me all the secrets of the knights
The sentence will come
I take with me all the riddles of the rite
The riddles will die with me

Fighting in the fields
The unbelievers must be hunted down
Slayers on the hills
A smell of death is all around

And by the flames I will be burnt
I'm a defender of god
I feel it deep down in my guts
I feel his glowing fire

The judgement is done
I bring with me all the secrets of the knights
The sentence will come
I take with me all the riddles of the rite...


11. The Dominion Gate


Is there a place full of silvery stars?
Somewhere to hide our shame
Is there a way to erase our scars?
An existence with no one to blame

We've found the key to a new world
Where no one has done before
Where no one has gone

Casting shadows
Can't you see, the ghosts are awake?
The stair at the window... to the dominion gate

After the fright, after the final storm
A total new order will rise again
From far beyond, a new kind is born
Will we be safe in a place gone insane?

We've found the key to a new world
Where no one has done before
Where no one has gone

Casting shadows
Can't you see, the ghosts are awake?
The stair at the window... to the dominion gate

Behind this gate, death has no name
Behind the gate, the dreams we have are all the same
In this new world, freedom is the key
Life is sublime, this is what we want, what we want to see

We've crossed many borders and left so much behind
Nations in ruins, a cry from a child
Hate and despair as the sign of the time

Now and then we have a chance, we have a dream
To create a new life
In this place, you will want to stay, will want to stay with me
Forever by my side

You and I, we have to try, we have to realize
To forget our pride

From this place, you will have to learn, have to learn and cherish it
The cycles of life... of life

We've found the key to a new world
Where no one has done before
Where no one has gone

Casting shadows...
The stair at the window...
I can't stand our distance, let me break the silence

Behind the gate, death has no name
Behind this gate, the dreams we have are all the same

Is there a place full of silvery stars?
Somewhere to hide our shame
Is there a way to erase our scars?
An existence with no one to blame

We've found the key to a new world
Where no one has done before
Where no one has gone

Casting shadows
Can't you see, the ghosts are awake?
The stair at the window... to the dominion gate


12. The Watchtower


You preach for a new god but he's the Antichrist
The curses of this god are the curse of mankind
The once who followed you have been dehumanized
You march alone led by the blind

You search the night, the silence of the lamb
Hailing the demons of hell
Hell is revealed but you don't want to understand
That the watchtower is casting a spell

You spend your time dreaming of tomorrow
Winners or losers?
You build your religion on pain and sorrow
Saints or sinners?

You are the unicorn that cannot ease our sorrows
You are the devil's eyes, our road to the gallow
You're spreading out the plague with your battalions of hate
You are the ones to wear a robe of state

You search the night, the silence of the lamb
Hailing the demons of hell
Hell is revealed but you don't want to understand
That the watchtower is casting a spell

You spend your time dreaming of tomorrow
Winners or losers?
You build your religion on pain and sorrow
Saints or sinners?

You pretend to speak in the name of god
Preaching for immortality
You descend from an ancient kingdom that's gone
Prophets of humanity

You search the night, the silence of the lamb
Hailing the demons of hell
Hell is revealed but you don't want to understand
That the watchtower is casting a spell

You spend your time dreaming of tomorrow
Winners or losers?
You build your religion on pain and sorrow
Saints or sinners?


13. K-141


I'm gonna tell you a well known story
A sacrifice of innocents
24 days of agony
How a last dive, gave them no chance
Somewhere in the arctic, the Russians were telling a lie
Forgotten by the world
In the rescue chamber, flooded with water
A.D. had to die

Hell awaits the enemy, somewhere in the Barents sea
The system is failing
Hell awaits the enemy, victim of hypocrisy
The system is lying

They will never come back home again
And I've lost another friend
They will never come back home
They are the victims of a vicious game

Commanders of the Russian fleet
Decided to conceal the truth
Somewhere down in the deep
The wreck revealed, they could have saved you
In a grave of steel, the truth was so real
Locked in the shell, their own private hell
One day we all will know why

Hell awaits the enemy, somewhere in the Barents sea
The system is failing
Hell awaits the enemy, victim of hypocrisy
The system is lying

They will never come back home again
And I've lost another friend
They will never come back home
They are the victims of a vicious game...

They will never come back home again
I will never see my friend...
