Tracks



01. Prince Of Fire

I'm awake, my senses clear, but can't believe what goes on in here
Darkness crawls into my heart as the candles melt

Seven curses beneath the seals
Evil spirits locked for thousand years
Now unleashed, flowing through the air
The flames grow restless
Evil's drawing near

When the moon is full you can hear them coming
Prince of fire and disciples of hell
Evil will prevail
Chaos, doom and torment
Rise from graves where the emperors lay

I'm still alive though I'm getting weak
I have no own will, for death I seek
My face is wrinkled and my eyes are blind
I feel no guilt as my broken body dies

Master, destroyer... prince of fire
Evil and sorrow will follow where we ride!

02. Temples In The Sky

1. The Burning Desert

As I walk alone in the land of sand and heat
Listening to the winds singing hexes in my ears
The moon reveals the paths marked by an unknown race
Wanderers from behind the stars who came here before men

I can hear the desert cry, it's dark when the moon does hide
And I am trapped behind the wall of time

As the sunrise kills the night their temples fill the sky
As another day goes by I know this is where I'll die
In my dreams a black-clad witch guides me on my way
But every time I reach for her she says that she cannot stay

I can hear the call of Gods, they want me by their side
But are their temples just within my mind?

2. The Witch

Oh, don't leave me
Empress of the night
I won't deceive thee
And I long to reach your shrines up in the sky

Temples in the sky, light shines in her eyes
Chaos of her mind crawling deep inside

Face down to the ground... don't you make a sound
Hear their awful cry
This is where you die...

3. The Meadows of Opium Dreams

In dreams I went to find her at the meadows of opium dreams
Where nameless things go play their games
Under the purple moon
I walked across the desert, she walked ahead of me
Stopped and looked into my eyes
I saw my destiny

No, I cannot reach their temples
And if you find me...

She laid there right beside me and took me deep within
Moonbeams dancing on her skin
As pale as a dead can be
Her eyes were full of hatred as she whispered in my ear

"In the temples in the sky they wait
and they want both you and me!"

No I cannot reach their temples
And if you find me

Just walk your way

03. She Wolf

Hanging stage the workers build
Bunker holes with corpses filled
Warning those who aim to run
You will kiss her loaded gun

She-Wolf

Boiling water peels the skin
On her face sadistic grin
Fingers her castration tools
Death is mercy where she rules

She-Wolf

Rod of steel between your thighs the doctor's in with a wicked surprise
Voltage burning demon seed, now smoke and blood flow from within

Loads of corpses now fill the roads
Make them work, inferior dogs
Dig them holes til the end of day, then somebody else will be filling your grave

Breeze of winter chilling your bones
World's unfair and you're alone
Time will show if things can change
Until then you stay low and hide your face

04. The Forest Lights

1. A Beautiful Sacrifice

Can you hear the cries of the trees, the rain that soothes the leaves
We're alone here, no one will know where we decide to go

They buried their treasures deep under fallen leaves
For the ones like you and me

Solace seekers balancing on the edge of time

If you want I can give you your wings
First we'll need to cut off your arms
One survives as another one dies
Who denies this surely lies
For you know pain's worth more than gold
Dearest diamonds flow from our eyes
To understand all beauty of life make a beautiful sacrifice

2. Coping with Loss

Take a threat like a man and say
"I will treat you in that same way"
Take a blow like you take a push
As a gesture to help you choose

So give up the wrong and right
And watch black melt into white
As we lead you on, on with your quest
Head our words and never rest!

3. Silent Escape into World Below

So turn off the light and cover your eyes
Dive into unknown sea
Hear, see and feel what you thought was no more there
Learn thy will, it will light your way

Memories flowing, reaching the day of my birth
Soaring, spiraling deep in an old endless dream
Damned ones are waiting for living human souls
Descend into the after-world
To meet the lord of all

4. Gods and Men

They can see but they're still blind
And they seek but they cannot find
They keep running but there's no goal
They think they're climbing
But really they fall

My gaze can melt the stones
I can walk through concrete walls
Though my touch gave birth to the stars
I cannot stop their insane wars

Gods and men all trapped in time
No consolation from above, they share that one same mind
War and crime won't stay inside
No matter how they try they share that one same mind

5. Cutting Through the Circle

Now this is the new life I dreamed
I walk backwards on my own trail
And now I have come to the end I say
I'll never ever walk that road again

I feel the wind's shed tears beneath my heels
I hear her breath upon my back
Always watching where I wonder... I'm alone
I'm never turning back

I'll never ever walk that road again!
