The Devil Incarnate
the incarnation of evil, a betrayer has been born
the king of all deceivers, upon the throne of scorn
an enviable position of power, wealth and glory
to keep the key to the ignition of the purgatory
follow me and you'll succeed
my disciples, you're now a part of me
you
reap what you sow, then you roll the dice
how could we ever know that it was the devil in disguise?
the pawns that made the way through this narrow path
for how long will they obey once they taste the grapes of wrath?
now, this wheel of fortune - it spins too fast for you
once it gets in motion there is nothing you can do
follow me and you'll succeed
my disciples, you're now a part of me
you reap what you sow, then you roll the dice
how could we ever know that it was the devil in disguise?
such blindness never seen in the history of man
dictators, rulers of their holy lands
scapegoat sacrified, gently led to slaughter
successor to the throne - the devil's own daughter?
Faith
in the name of god they maim and slay
every non-believer questioning their faith
a conviction so inborn beyond common sense
is there a cure for this ignorance?
you have your god
an image of yourself
in this holy war
that sends us all to hell
"love your neighbour, turn the other cheek"
or isn't global peace what you seek?
just open up and see
paradise won't come so easily
in the name of god they indoctrinate
each and every one of you who's in need of faith
a conviction so inborn beyond common sense
looks like the sword is mightier than the pen
you have your god
an image of yourself
in this holy war
that sends us all to hell
"love your neighbour, turn the other cheek"
or isn't global peace what you seek?
just open up and see
paradise won't come so easily
in the name of who do you obey?
nothing changes if you're on your knees to pray
forget the cross - time to act intelligent
no need for gods, nothing's heaven-sent
you have your god
an image of yourself
in this holy war
that sends us all to hell
"love your neighbour, turn the other cheek"
or isn't global peace what you seek?
just open up and see
paradise won't come so easily
Eaten Alive
drowning in this ocean of monumental waves
far away from the cyberian memorycard-saves
abducted by the currents of my awakening
twisted faces smiling, evoke a quake within
emerging from a world below, degenerating rapidly
claws of reality's got me now, stuck here eternally
an easy target, an easy prey
i am exceeding my domains
if i'll find a way, that leads me out of here
... i cannot stay, have to overcome my fear
wasn't quite prepared for the hostility outside
well-done, medium, rare - i would have been eaten alive
can't stand this pressure
please, get me out of here
an easy target, an easy prey
i am exceeding my domains
i leave this place so dark and sinister
it's too late - the sun has set forever
as the world keeps turning - then fade away into eternity
A Halo Askew
my life was taken away from me the day that i was born
no such thing as sympathy from the ones who had me
torn apart to pieces, ripping out my heart
memories hunt me down, a refugee at large
each and every day
defending myself
my life in decay
crawl back into my shell
enslaved to guilt for as long as i can remember
the only thing that i know is the darkness of november
these pangs of conscience, no peace of mind
the true meaning of life has been hard to find
each and every day
defending myself
my life in decay
crawl back into my shell
Phantoms
these phantoms of the mind lurking subconsciously
the ancient demons inside are still haunting me
this twisted way of life, so decadent - so depriving
driven to insanity, by the secrets i am hiding
a face of evil in front of me
a face of evil terrorizing me
on the path of ancient demons
spinning around in the windmills of destiny
crucified and nailed to the wings at increasing speed
beyond every limit of torture known to man
crying for help i reach out my hand
a face of evil in front of me
a face of evil terrorizing me
on the path of ancient demons
Ebony Tower
rapture in euphoria, sweet revenge so horrifying
even though all is black, won't forgive - can't forget
shadows of those who died, their energy bring me to life
even though all is black, won't forgive - can't forget
reaching out for a soul, lost the will to control
victim of circumstance, forever trapped in a trance
disillusioned by the world, a never ending spell a curse
to remain ... where i reign, i have power
i must say, i admire the view
from my ebony tower, watching you
thirty years, three decades - eleventhousand night and days
still alive, still insane, sun shines in the acid rain
take a look - people die, and you never wonder why?
the beginning of the end, solitude's my only friend
imprisoned in my world of confusion
shattered dreams feed my illusions
powerful forces of nature
tearing down what i've created
reaching, losing, disillusioned...
Delirious Tongues
headless deceiver, queen of all lies
and you believed her, can't see it in her eyes
realized that what you say just can't be true
a hypocrite, a liar - yes, that is you
into a web of mythologies
writing the script as you speak
you're a liar, you're a fraud .. can't you see?
the slayer of your soul shall be me
transparency, this hypocrisy
getting clearer
you will die by my hand
darkness will surround you, as truth is closing in
sins are not forgotten - you will never win
your tyranny will vanish in the ashes of disgrace
we're heading for the throne, you will be defaced
transparency, this hypocrisy
getting clearer
you will die by my hand
out of this web of mythologies
just break the spell of dishonesty
transparency, this hypocrisy
getting clearer
you will die by my hand
Idols & Fiends
as we came to the point of no return
infected wounds where daggers twist and turn
a wall of love and a wall of hate
to tear it down was the one and only way
idols and fiends - never again
we're swept away by the flood of our mistakes
our silence sent this to an early grave
here we are on this battlefield
are the wounds too deep to be healed?
a divorce of souls yearning for salvation
the ultimate anxiety of separation
a life of shattered dreams
nothing's what it seems (to be)
there's more than meets the eye
still, no more tears to cry
now two lost souls left divided
the Achilles-heel of disrespect and pride
idols and fiends - never again
a divorce of souls yearning for salvation
the ultimate anxiety of separation
a life of shattered dreams
nothing's what it seems (to be)
there's more than meets the eye
still, no more tears to cry
Divided We Fall
divided we will fall into the dark unknown
surrounded by the walls made from hearts of stone
divided we will fall as we're torn apart
hear the final call of a dying star
condemned are those alone long-since separated
the pure freezing cold outside - waiting ...
divided we fall into a dark unknown
divided we fall torn apart by love
unity in misery, practicing what we preach
negative energy, i'm the host - you're the leech
we devastate and clear the way, loss for words - no more to say
divided we fall into a dark unknown
divided we fall torn apart by love
