01. He Who Sleeps Amongst The Stars

Lyrics by Leif Edling
Sitting on the hill. Silent...Lotus...still. One with the world

Eyes are full of stars
Peace within his heart
And rest in the soul

Down came an angel, a smile on his face
"In your hands....there's bullets and joy"....Godlike is he...
Who sleeps amongst the STARS!!!
With dreams full of STARS!!

Single thought in mind. Leave the world behind. All's done and said

A garden of flowers, a river of blood
What is to be understood..."I am only he...
Who sleeps amongst the STARS"!! With dreams full of STARS!!

Life is fulfilled. Nothing more to kill. Absolution is bliss

Tranquil as I pass. Sitting in the grass. Sky and clouds I kiss

Counting the angels, the leaves and the trees
All is crucial....a part of me....Forgiven is he...
Who sleeps amongst the STARS!! With dreams full of STARS!!

02. The Hades Assembly

Lyrics by Leif Edling
Hidden chambers....secret handshakes
The clock is ticking down

Skyscrape penthouse....men with power
The contract is signed and bound

The Hades Assembly sell us, pound by pound
The world is for sale, to a thing with horns
Cities and countries and mountains...bricks and stones
Run for shelter and cover, here's the storm..

We are the Hades Assembly
We answer to no government, king or country
We are liaison with the powers of darkness and our mission is to create
Anarchy on earth to our own benefit...preparing the world for a new order

We are the new administration...and evil corporation with
The devil in the boardroom...

It's nothing personal....just business!

We are the Hades Assembly...and we rock!!

03. Emily Payne (And The Black Maze)

Lyrics by Leif Edling
She crosses the churchyard....drawn to the willows
Follows the warm rain....into the black glow
Walks in the forest....drops little bracelet
Can this be magic....what is her secret?

So young so sad
Emily Payne, it was the last of your days
All things she had
Emily Payne, you ran into the maze
So sweet and frail
This lovely girl, it was the last of her days
So grim, the tale
Emily Payne and the black maze

She went through the village, gold in her long hair
Over the green grass, no one can see her
Blue gown and straw hat, armful of tulips
Vanished in thin air, with a smile on her sweet lips

So young so sad...

She fled the world
Father, friends, the light of the day
Nothing she said
and went into the maze
A young happy girl, the apple in her mothers eye
She saw the door
Disappeared without trace

04. Small Deadly Curses

Lyrics by Leif Edling
I don't wish you fame and fortune
I'm working on my private warchant
I won't give you pearls and roses
May you sink in hells psychosis

Oh...just go...beware...
See...the cross...I bear

I can't hum when you are singing
You don't know what I am dreaming
Watch me now I'll give you Voodoo
And here's a bunch of badder juju

Oh...watch out...beware
See...the cross...I bear...
I wake the ghoul......again...
So...our love...must end

Still we sleep like children
On the eve of destruction
and 7 deadly curses
Can't bring me to you

Oh seven deadly curses, I will give to you!!
And seven deadly verses, can't bring me to you!!

05. Prince Azaar And The Invisible Pagoda

Lyrics by Leif Edling
[PART I]

He rode out, in the grace of the morning
Head held high, that first day in may
Many years, in pride and in glory
In search for the holy grail

Prince Azaar...you traveled so far
You searched for the way...the precious Ark
Prince Azaar...you followed the star
You challenged the gods...of rage and war

Beyond the black moon, and west of oblivion
In the legends and the tall silver tales
With your rich coat, your horse and the armor
To where the filthy dogs of doom sail

Prince Azaar, you fled from your palace
You came close to where nothing meets zero
And you opened the doors to forever
Behind the great waterfall

[PART II]

Down by the willows...a castle in gold...someone calls you by your name
You're tired and weak....an oasis you seek...can you hear what they say?
The doors is now open....drawing you in....

[PART III]

1000 days and 1000 nights
Insane colours...immortal eyes
Riddles and fears...countless voices
Can't see, can't hear....no divine choices
Nothing left, a stone cold floor
Man against gods....no hidden doors
No answers, no light....I gave my farewells
I am nothing

Did I find myself?

[PART IV]

In the battle I was dying
Am I worthy I was wondering
I was heartbroke, I was crying
In the court of the long lost kings

As a warrior I was aging
As a man I was trying to fight
For an answer I kept praying
Let me walk here in the holy light

[PART V]

In the pagoda
The prince he met the angel in the broken mirror
Holding a sword....she wept for you, she bled for you
In the pagoda
You saw your dreams, your life, the pains, the past and future
You know...it's a lonely road....

06. The Death Farm

Lyrics by Leif Edling
He opens up his eyes, the reaper sees your sacrifice
Holds you in his grip, together you will take a ride
Into the big wheel of fools, where nothing is sacred or safe
The Devil has got his own way, of putting his mark on your life

You're trapped inside...

On the Death Farm, the pigs they have got wings
On the Death Farm, lies are common things

Death is in your house, holding court, you're such a mouse
Dominates your world, life will crush you like a louse
Into the big wheel of fools, where nothing is sacred or safe
The Devil has got his own way, of putting his mark on your life

You're trapped inside...

On the Death Farm, the pigs they have got wings
On the Death Farm, lies are common things
On the Death Farm, you're a sucker you will pay
On the Death Farm, you're a servant you're a slave

On the Death Farm, love is what you need
On the Death Farm, there's only lots of greed
On the Death Farm, no-one helps when you fall
On the Death Farm, the winner takes it all

(Where can you go when your life dream is busted
Who can you turn to, who can be trusted?)

07. A Place Of Crows

Lyrics by Leif Edling
Honey and bees
Atoms and seeds
We come and we leave

Winds and grain
Birds and stains
Screaming brains

Waves and sand
Bone-like hands
The devil's dance

'CAUSE THE WORLD IS A PLACE OF CROWS
'CAUSE THE WORLD IS A PALE GREY HORSE
'CAUSE THE WORLD IS A BLOATED CORPSE
'CAUSE THE WORLD IS...THE WORLD...

Honey and bees
Atoms and seeds
We come and we leave

Waves and sand
Bone-like hands
The devil's dance
