01. The Way Of The Sword

For she who steps on the way of the sword
The path gets harder at every turn
Sanctuary she'll find no more
Among the people of her lot
She will leave the past behind
The Goddess knows what she is to find

Past is left behind
For the one on the way of the sword
Fools are meant to fall
They'll get lost along the way
Past is left behind
For the one on the way of the sword
Fools are meant to fall
I am she who's on the way of the sword

For she who knows not the way she must walk
Life is sweet but with little reward
She who wields a sword
Must be prepared to shed her blood
Pain she must endure
And know too well that she must be strong

Past is left behind
For the one on the way of the sword
Fools are meant to fall
They'll get lost along the way
Past is left behind
For the one on the way of the sword
Fools are meant to fall
I am she who's on the way of the sword

So many farewells
Many tears you must shed before your journey ends
Or it's only just begun
For a glory wish there is much to sacrifice
So many farewells
Many tears you must shed before your journey ends
Or it's only just begun
For a glory wish there is much to sacrifice

Past is left behind
For the one on the way of the sword
Fools are meant to fall
They'll get lost along the way
Past is left behind
For the one on the way of the sword
Fools are meant to fall
I am she who's on the way of the sword

02. Lucifer

Isn't it tempting
The matter and the flesh
Isn't it charming
Can't you see who I am
I am your angel
I am your angel
Of the dark

I am matter and flesh

Time before the time
Life before it ever started
Then I was created
An angel to behold your shining light
Your ever shining light
I have seen the first sunrise
Bringing light into the world (countless worlds)
And the dark of thousand nights
Descending on the Earth (on this Earth)
Before I fell from grace
(Before I fell from Heaven denied)

Do you know me by my name (by my name)
Lucifer your angel (of sin)
You have made me who I am (who I am)
I am the light bringer (your dearest angel of sin)
Do you know me by my name
Lucifer that brings the light

I am matter and flesh
The matter and the flesh
(shaped by your hands of god)

I think therefore I am
I think therefore I sin (matter and flesh)
I want power to create
And comprehend all things (with my mind)
All that there is to see (with these eyes)
Time before the time
Light before it ever shone on men
Lost forever
Into the abyss to rule in Hell
Do you remember loving me
(Do you remember desire)

Do you know me by my name (by my name)
Lucifer your angel (of sin)
You have made me who I am (who I am)
I am the light bringer (your dearest angel of sin)
Do you know me by my name
Lucifer that brings the light

Do you remember when I was but a thought
In your mind of god
Prime Evil in your thought
Beautiful as only I can be
I seduce the foolish mortal being (as is thy will of god)
My name until the end of time
Is Lucifer (your angel of sin) that brings the light

Isn't it tempting
Isn't it tempting
Isn't it tempting

I am matter and flesh
The matter and the flesh
(Shaped by your hands of god)

Time before the time (before temptation) (the matter and the flesh)
Light before the light (light before desire)
Light before the fall (from Heaven denied)
Light before the fall

03. Gethsemane

Stay you here and watch with me

Drink my blood
Eat my body
In memory of me

Take this chalice away from me
Is there no one awake
In the hour of my misery (Take this chalice away)
The hour of the dark this hour
(Of pain)

I've been their wonder child
Now my world is turning to dust
I've been their shining star
Now as it's over

They are sleeping
They are sleeping
They closed their eyes
As the end of me closes in
They are sleeping

Take this chalice away from me
Is it true
they know not what they do to me
(they know what they do)
This silence is a thorn in my heart
This silence
(that kills)

So far I have been strong
Now I feel my time is almost through
And I have played my part
The crowds have turn their back to me

They are sleeping
They are sleeping
They closed their eyes
As the end of me closes in
They are sleeping

Open your eyes it will be late
When you all wake up
You will be lost
You will despair when I am gone
Like I've never really been
among you living beings
beings

Take this chalice way from me
Is there no one awake while I shed my tears
(the last in this world)
in this hour of pain
Take this chalice away
(take this chalice away)

04. Never Dream Of Goodness (Evillot Part II)

Save your foolish Evillot
Or let me die
Let me close my eyes
I need to rest
I'm sick of the light
Sick of the light
Evil I serve I swear a thousand times

I swear I'll never dream of goodness (Never dream of goodness)
Never displease the Lord of darkness (Never dream of goodness)
I swear I hate the light forbidden (Never dream of goodness)
And on my blood
I swear that I will never dream of goodness
Again

You know my darkened heart (My darkest thoughts)
A raven black
As the dead of night
Without the stars
What more should I say
You hold my life in your hands
Upon my blood I swear I hate the light

I swear I'll never dream of goodness (Never dream of goodness)
Never displease the Lord of darkness (Never dream of goodness)
I swear I hate the light forbidden (Never dream of goodness)
And on my blood
I swear that I will never dream of goodness
Again

There's no turning back
From the way of the dark
I have taken
Once it's taken
Darkness my wish
There's no mercy for the weak
When you swear you hate the light of the sun

Save your foolish Evillot
From disgrace
Unlock my chains
I need to rest
Save your foolish Evillot
Or let me die

05. Song Of Men

Break of the day
Light of the sun
Make us forget what we faced in the night
The horrors that lurk in the dark
The perils that lie on the path

I've heard a song of men
The short living humans of far away lands
I've heard a song of men
That trouble their lives with fortune and fame
When tomorrow's unknown to them all
They wish glory to find on their path

Break of the day
Light of the sun
Make me forget I'm alone in the dark

I've heard a song of men
Lost in the dark and far from their land
I've heard a song of men
Lost on the way to fortune and fame
When tomorrow's unknown to them all
They wish glory to find on their path

When tomorrow's unknown to them all
They wish glory to find on their path

Break of the day
Light of the sun
Keep this darkness away from my heart
And guide me far on my way
And watch over me through the day

I've heard a song of love
Sung to their loves in faraway homes
I've heard a song of war
For power and glory they live by the sword
When tomorrow's unknown to them all
They wish glory to find on their path

I've heard a song of men
The short living humans of far away lands
I've heard a song of men
That trouble their lives with fortune and fame
When tomorrow's unknown to them all
They wish glory to find on their path

I've heard a song of men
I've heard a song of men
Wishing for glory

06. Quest For Knowledge

Lonely is the way of the necromancer
Dark is the path to the secret knowledge
Runes just talk to me in dreams
Such secrets they reveal
Unknown to humankind
Words of magic
Mists disclosing at my will
The veil of the unreal
Unfolds before my eyes
Gods mind close to mine

Do you hear me gods of all that lives
Or did you turn your back to me
Do you hear my voice is calling loud
For you to show me all I need (to know)
On a quest for knowledge I have found
Only sorrow

Lost I have wondered the lands of magic
Doom the reward on my quest for knowledge
Runes fell silent in my dreams
They nevermore reveal
The truth beyond mankind
Words of power
Lost forever in the mist
Their secrets they will keep
Unknown to mortal eyes
Gods have let me down

Do you hear me gods of all that lives
Or did you turn your back to me
Do you hear my voice is calling loud
For you to show me all I need (to know)
On a quest for knowledge I have found
But this darkness

In dream dusts we can indulge
But the sparkle of true
Magic has gone and long lost
Forever


Do you hear me gods of all that lives
Or did you turn your back to me
Do you hear my voice is calling loud
For you to show me all I need
On a quest for knowledge I have found
But this sorrow
