[Instrumental]

You call me the raven of the dawn
Soulless demon, darkland is my home

I've never fulfilled my desire
Enchaining your gathering minds

And the bloody salvation erases your sin
Now let the actors begin

Welcome to my tragedy
Suffering to grieve
Judgement of your destiny
Theatrical masterpiece

Here in the night
Wait for the light
Pray for salvation my friend
Waiting here in the night
Wait for the light
Pray for salvation my friend

And the bloody salvation erases your sin
Now let the actors begin

Welcome to my tragedy
Suffering to grieve
Judgement of your destiny
Theatrical masterpiece

Death would be a final end
Blood is dripping from my border
Fame is lying in my hand
The will call me master torture

Welcome to my tragedy
Suffering to grieve
Judgement of your destiny
Theatrical masterpiece

Empowered by a legacy
Serve the cross in the name of the law
Fight against all heresy
And suppression of synergy

Crossing the landscape no time to stay
He will judge and you will pay
Now it's time to fill the royal treasure
Of the crown - he'll carry on

Man without pity, a heart without grace
A deal with the devil, a deadly embrace
Life has no value, it's just an exam
For those who will fail
There is no kingdom come

We are only figures in this game
There is no escape for us
We're bound in chains

Behind the storm where the evil was born
Shadows of death will arise
Killing with pleasure
And bloodshoted eyes
He's the keeper of the royal treasure

If you will question our system of faith
He will pursue you as long as it takes
No chance for rebellion
The punishment's hard
His horses are ready to tear you apart

Axe and sword are reflecting the light
Your unbreakable cries trail away in the night
Arm of law there's no grace in his mind
For the justice he stands till the last daylight

And the shadow of evil is rising
In a stare of suppression we're born
At the end you will draw a conclusion
Your dependant will pay on and on

Behind the storm where the evil was born
Shadows of death will arise
Killing with pleasure
And bloodshoted eyes
He's the keeper of the royal treasure

Land in shadows
See humanity wasting away
There's something dying in me
Desert of ashes, no pale glowing light
Dark infinity

We will leave the darkness behind
Following the light
We will fear the future beyond
The everlasting night

And through the sacred door
You'll walk alone
And you will slump
Before the master's throne

Wasted time
You will leave me alone
When the demons call
There's no sign
All is dead and sky will fall

Souls are rising
Into the hall of fate
Pray for saving
Your chance to honor life is gone
The final day for everyone
The revelation has begun

Crying faces on my way
Through the ruins of life
There is no hope in my mind
Unholy demons awaken in me
Dark infinity

Justice for the unbelievers
Hear your requiem

Sanctified in the lake of life
With the devils hand inside

Deep in the forest
The voices of doom
The fear is tangibly close
Black shade id flying
The deathbringer's near
Is this deception or truth

Cry, all your sinners will burn
Die, but your ashes remain
Pay, for redeeming your soul
Pray, that evil will not prevail

In the midnight sky
The fire burns your blood
Liberation from the demon in your heart

Down in the darkness the undead arise
Spell of witches will keep them alive
Track down the circle of black magic rites
Inquisition in witchhunter's night

Cry, all your sinners will burn
Die, but your ashes remain
Pay, for redeeming your soul
Pray, that evil will not prevail

In the midnight sky
The fire burns your blood
Liberation from the demon in your heart

Magic of witches, we can not destroy
They are reaching out for my soul
We will not surrender and fight till the end
In the battle of heaven and hell

You hear the crowd is raving
You see the gallow's waiting
You feel the garbage you are trampling over
You are a broken victim
You pray for resurrection
You feel the breath of death is cold as ice

Oh ooh oh
When the raven crows his final call
Oh ooh oh
Then the reaper takes us all

The sky is dark at the edge of life
A narrow path to the warming light
Take my hand
On your journey to the other side

It's time to die

You smell their piss and sewage
You taste the blood on our lips
You feel the thirst for vengeance more than ever
You hear the bells are tolling
You see the preacher's bowing
You feel the rope around your neck is tighter now

Visions of the past - redemption comes at last

Oh ooh oh
When the raven crows his final call
Oh ooh oh
Then the reaper takes us all

The sky is dark at the edge of life
A narrow path to the warming light
Take my hand
On your journey to the other side

It's time to die

Tired faces in the storm
Hope defeats the sorrow
Time will wash your memories away
Wait to hear he anchor fall
Thank god for salvation
Oh how I was longing for this day

Back from the battle with void in our minds
Breathing the air of our home
I take off my armour and rest at your side
Til the last warming flame has burned down

Storm has changed to silence
Dancing in a circle of stones
Snow like melting diamonds
On an ember in the winter grove

Days of fortune lie behind
Lasting scars of pain
A bloody trail is flowing through the rain
Mourning for the fallen friends
May their spirit rise up
Take their light and mask away the blame

Back from the battle with void in our minds
Breathing the air of our home
I take off my armour and rest at your side
Til the last warming flame has burned down

Storm has changed to silence
Dancing in a circle of stones
Snow like melting diamonds
On an ember in the winter grove

Ages of darkness, the fear is around us
Hope for a place in the great paradise
Sermons to lead our actions in lifetime
Sow the fear deep down in our mind

A wave of departure in giant dimensions
Subdue humanity to true belief
Raising the sword for a sin absolution
Attempt to take control

Time for a bloody mission
Spread the holy word of the lord

They come from the land of the fallen star
Got the enlightenment from afar
Journey to bless or decry your mind
Leaving a trace of destruction behind

A promise of heaven
A threat of damnation
Forced to your knees
For the blessing with pain
If you are not willing
The hangman is waiting
Hallowed be thy name

Over highest mountains
And across the seven seas pay for absolution
Or demand your own disease

They come from the land of the fallen star
Got the enlightenment from afar
Journey to bless or decry your mind
Leaving a trace of destruction behind

Can you hear wailing voices from heaven's end
Can you hear the old helmsman cry
I will tell you a story of punishment
Execution under a bloodred sky

So many years have passed
Since that horrid day
Chained to his ship
It's floating aimlessly away

He was faithful, he was brave
Conquered the highest waves
Always hunting enemies
With one foot in the grave

His life was like an hourglass
Always near the end
But everything has turned around
At the last grain of sand

He was born in the darkness of the storm
Died in chains as a figurehead
Forlorn in the night
An eternal ride

Night of the helmsman
You can feel his breath behind
Storm-ridden sea is telling
'bout his godless fight
He is crying out for vengeance
Stay ashore to save your life
He's sailing on tonight

One day he became a traitor
To protect his crew
Honourable act for all the dangers
They sailed through

So he was chained to the bow
Left to fate and storm
Since then you can hear his scream
When the night returns

Loaded with black powder, brandy and rum
We're sailing and hoisting the flag
There where the old sea dogs getting their scars
Where giants and mermaids wait

The compass shows the direction
Under the sign of the king
With loaded guns we're ready and strong
Row boys, row and sing

We set the sails to the northern lands
Over the seven seas of legends
We set the sails to the northern lands
Into the unknown

The sea is our home the sea is our grave filled with
The tears of our own
We all know the tales
Of adventure and death
Far away where we belong

The compass shows the direction
Under the sign of the king
With loaded guns we're ready and strong
Row boys, row and sing

We set the sails to the northern lands
Over the seven seas of legends
We set the sails to the northern lands
Into the unknown
