Tracks



01. Phoenix

Hey have waited through the ages
For a sign to bring them hope
Erecting temples to their Gods
All made of gold
I'll arrive to bring prosperity
To this land that laid in waste
I've descended from the sun
I am the one

I'm the phoenix
From the ashes I will rise
I'm the phoenix
To the fires I return
Though I've lived a thousand years
There will be a thousand more
Warch me burn
And from the ashes I'm reborn
The phoenix

I've seen nations that are wounded
Let me heel them with my tears
Restore the balance that will
Bring them love and peace
I'm the bringer of serenity
In this land that laid in waste
I've descended from the sun
I am the one

02. Anneliese

They were there on the night
When it all went wrong
Just an innocent soul
Not the devil own
Now she is standing alone
Fear enshrouds her soul
Her possession is beginning to take its toll

Hell is it near?
She can hear the demons talking
Trying to save her from the darkness
Help to free her from this madness

Anneliese no longer dreams
And all she does is scream
Her hellish voices
Eating the soul inside her
Anneliese no longer smiles
And all she does is fear
The demons that enslave her mind
Into this madness

As the evil embraced you
Holly water was hell
And the God that has made you
Was no longer around
Endless the suffering
Agony is in extasy
She must take her life

Anneliese no longer screams
And all she does is dream
Her hellish voices disappearing from inside
Disappearing from inside
Anneliese you'll never scream again
Just dream

03. Vlad The Impaler

Tear down the walls I'm coming in
Your kingdom now has fallen
I'll take no prisioners in this war
The enemy taken to flight
Chase them deep into the night

Kill them seek them down
And disemboweled them
Kill them, burn them to the gorund
Kill them, see their fortress devastated
Kill them, leave no one alive

The enemy is broken
They've fallen one by one
Deny them all of their last right

Impaled so they will guard my walls
Let any who dares come within

Vladimir the impaler
Merciless he was
Vladimir the impaler
Killer of humanity

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill...

04. Crossroads

So here we are
Caught between the fantasy
Reality of life
I can't see a rainbow rising anymore
Footprints that were left into this sand
Where's the wind that sweep the land?
At the calm before the storm

I will not fade
I won't retract into my lonely shelter
And even though
That I've been lost and confused for a while
You will not find me shading my skin in pales of grey
And in my darkest day
That's where I find life
That's where I'm at

Tell me we're not at the cross roads end
Time has been fading now that I realised
The game that we all played
Now that we stand at the crossroads end
I won't be grounded
Just gotta find the will to fly again

Scars that I'm wearing barely they're healing
Facing the rise and fall
Man in the mirror has no regrets
He cannot swallow rage
And in my darkest days
That's where I find life
That's where I'm at

05. Out In The Fields

It doesn't matter
if you're wrong or if you're right.
It makes no difference
if you're black or if you're white.

All men are equal
till the victory is won.
No colour or religion
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields,
the fighting has begun.
Out on the streets,
they're falling one by one.
Out from the skies,
a thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.

It doesn't matter
if you're left or to the right.
Don't try to hide behind the cause
for what you fight.

There'll be no prisoners taken
when the day is done.
No flag or uniform
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields,
the fighting has begun.
Out on the streets,
they're falling one by one.
Out from the skies,
a thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.

There's no communication,
no one to take the blame.
The cries of every nation
have fallen on deaf ears again.

Out in the fields.
Out in the fields.
They are falling one by one.
Out in the fields.
No flag has ever stopped
the bullet from a gun.

Death is just a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields,
a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields,
a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.

In the fields,
the fighting has begun.
Out on the streets,
they're falling one by one.
Out from the skies,
a thousand more will die each day.

06. Misery

As we have fallen from a dream
These eyes have opened wide
And welcome a brand new dawn
Hearing the truth in cunning lies
Suspicious alibis

Can't recognise your misery
Your weakness is sure
Filthy and shameless
Now healed our scars
And freed our mind
Darkened days are the ones to forget
They're all forgotten, got it

And till this day we're doing fine
Take care of your lies
And drawn in sorrow

Hey misery, are you dead?
Are you still open legged through your day?
Letting filth slide inside of you
So misery did you get
What you really wanted in the end?
We're still here
And you're still a whore

Let's not forget that little man
Mystery Orical Rocker
She had his balls in her hands
That dirty snake he surely lied
Had her head buried between his thighs
His manhood stolen, stolen
We've recognised your misery
Your weakness is sure
Filthy and shameless, shameless
Now healed our scars
And freed our mind
Darkened days are the ones to forget
They're all forgotten, got it

07. Make Believe

Some may wanna watch the world burn
They're not caring anymore
Building dreams in castles
Them they're tearing them all down
Some may want to catch the rainbow
They are living fantasies
Dreaming of an eden
When they're watching their t v

Welcome back to reality
Destiny waiting
Walk through the door

Make me, make me, make believer
I can't be another dreamer
Brightly coloured memories if yourself
Can make believe it
Make me, make me, make believer
I can't be another dreamer
Shimmering stars wish them as they fall
Now that you are free
Take this world and make believe

Some may want to live in darkness
They have lost the will to fight
Burning all their bridges
Now they're living on one side
Some they surely love their preachers
They love listening to their words
Putting them on alters
While their life is lost in hell

Stars are falling
Rainbows forming
Set yourself free in this world
You can make believe again

08. One Life

Saw you staying up all night
Sitting waiting for the light
That you may never see
Now that your back is to the wall
In this suffocating fear
There's shadows crawling underneath your skin
Like a river watch it flow
Time is running out the door
Now close your eyes just once and forever
You're saying no
Can you really live forever?
And so it goes
Can you really live forever?
Eternal life you cannot choose
Mortal men is what we are
If you walk in the fire
The fire will burn
Still you sit and contemplate
About eternity your fate
Never realising there's only one

Letting go may be the hardest thing you'll face
So make it sure you live your life to the fullest

One life for everyone
Yes it was given so enjoy
One life for everyone
It's not just you
One life for everyone
Who in the hell you think you are?
It's not just you

09. Emptiness Ideal

The masterplan unveiled
To reign its hell on earth
And bring its terror
See them on their knees before him
The darkness will enshroud
The sinners and the saints
Bring deliverance
Suffocating into madness

At this point of no return
At a time when light will fade
There is really no escape
I feel fear inside me

In this hellish cavalcade
At the apocalypse of time
We've killed God
And laid law to emptiness ideal
In this maniacal idea
We have implicated fear
We killed faith
And laid law to emptiness ideal

We wanted to be Gods
So on our wings we flew
Revengeful angels falling on the earth in anger
Now hear the cry of man
Repenting all their sins
From paradise we've fallen
To become unholy

10. Escape

Twisted in this cell
This silence kills
The silence kills the mind
Darkness has entombed
I cannot live
I cannot live in fear

Most of my life I'm in hell
The other in heaven
And I don't know why
Can someone set me free

Escape my life
How can I ever live
Without no regrets?
Escape this time
I can't live

Tearing flesh from bone
Now can you see
Now can you see the man
Fragment memories
Am I insane?
I've gone and lost my mind
