1. Whore Of Babylon
There's a woman causing shame
To sacred thoughts she holds
The chalice with every man`s sin
Her alabaster skin is covered
With purple and gold
There she rides on a desolate soul
Her nefarious actions and
Fornications are known
By this world and the kings
Who shall come
Her influence will grow
As she saws the seeds of sin
There she is
The whore of Babylon
Rinding with the devil
She will live forever
Hail the whore
The whore of Babylon
Spreading sins and shame
Forever more
The whore of Babylon
Man built their empires
All over the world, the whore
Built them to crumble and fall
Her legacy follows
The new generations to come
There she is
The whore of Babylon
Riding with the devil
She will live forever
Hail the whore
The whore of Babylon
Spreading sins and shame
Forever more
The whore of Babylon
As the sun commands the shadow
To darken the world she forces
Our cities to fall to decay
And without knowing
You hold the ember of sin
There she is
The whore of Babylon
Riding with the devil
She will live forever
Hail the whore
The whore of Babylon
Riding with the devil
She will live forever
The whore of Babylon
2. Symphony Of The Damned
In nomans land between
Heaven and hell
Madness is chanting my name
Thousand souls
Erratic in life
Chained in noplace
Berawed their heaven
Out of tune noises
Pulsating my mind
A fatal opera
Inferno of sounds
My conscience fading
Fading
Nowhere in time
Yesterday is tomorrows today
Yesterday is tomorrows today
Shadeless faces
Souls with no name
Standing hypnotized
Going insane
Hearing helplessly - listen
To the symphony of the damned
I search for light that I can't find
I search for shadows in this life behind
From south of heaven they are calling for me
Through this hysterical psychic custody
I feel hands of compact nothing
Tighten its grip on me
Symphony of the damned
Corridors blindly I can see them
Flashing by in the shadows of my conscience
There's a voice calling for my soul
In my mind the senses overflowing
To a peak past of what is human
As a god I spread my wings - I fly
I am alive, I got the fire, got the rage,
Like a giant bird of prey
I am the night, I'm the dark, I'm the raven,
I'm the one that you would call
Descended from the sky
Like tears lost in the rain
That music fades...
I'm sweeping over paradise
Where this god rules in disguise
Further on to a higher plane
Where I'm promised to be born again
Like tears lost in the rain
That music fades...that...
Symphony of the damned
3. Fatal Illusion
Staring through a dusty window
Feel the cold from the barren walls
Inside his mind the voices calls
A portrait hanging face betraying
Wicked gleaming eyes from hell
The portrait knows his name
Is he insane
Nowhere to run
From the things that he have done
Sally screams his name in his mind
Sally's eyes the portrait tell no lies
Sally wants his life
She's sweeping through the dark horizons
Through the astral planes of earth
Sally wants revenge a second birth
From the pictures eyes she sees him
Sees the man that took her life
He's going mad he's lost reality
Nowhere to run...
From the things that he has done
Sally screams his name in his mind
Sallys eyes
The portrait tells no lies
Sally wants his life
He's screaming
Help me - Sally's calling
Save me - insanity
Help me - Sally's calling
Save me - insanity
She cause him pain
By haunting him insane
Hysterical laughs
She force him to his grave
Feel the cold from barren walls
His body holds his soul
For all eternity he's sold
Crying for some peace of mind
He's crawling on the floor
To high to reach
To low to fall
Nowhere to run...
Help me - Sally's calling
Save me - insanity
Help me - Sally's calling
Save me - insanity
4. Last Rites
He lies awake
With his eyes closed
As he thinks of eternity
The last meal served on silver plates
Left a taste of cold steel
His memories haunts him
Though what's past
Is so far away
He's drowning in fear of death
But does anyone give a damned
First light of the morning
Will witness his fall
At the end of a rope he'll hang
Feeding the crows
As he walks to the gallows pole
The priest reads his last rites
Twelve feet to the ground
There's just six more to go
First light of the morning
Will witness his fall
At the end of a rope he'll hang
Feeding the crows
From the end of the gallow
To the land of the dead
He's joined with the hallowed
In the land of the dead
5. Lullaby
I'm your nightmare
Longing just for you
You can hear my breath
And I can hear yours to
Like a creeping shadow
Hiding from the day
Wait until the darkness
To take your life so pray
You can not run
You can not hide
I gonna catch you if you try
You're longing for the morning
And for that special light
It makes you feel safe
But it'll be another night
Your blood is boiling
It makes you paralyzed
You are my only
You are my sacrifice
You can not run
You can not hide
I gonna catch you if you try
6. The Secret Doctrine
In the secret doctrine I have read
From the creation
And its manifoldness has sprung
And that the hord of evil is not dead
And that armageddon already has begun
About forgotten places I have read
And secret paths to heaven and hell
Names of angels, life and death
All that is mentioned clear and well
In the secret doctrine of heaven and hell
7. Tequila
The day after the night before
Remember nothing as I face the floor
A pounding headache a smell of death
I guess it must be my own breath
Remember girls
And plenty of booze
And my tequila desire
Striptease
The metal police
Then I remember nothing more
Because I was
Passed out on
Tequila - blackout
Rise and shine stupe and puke
Shit I'm freezing oh god I'm nude
I've been arrested that's for sure
Else I wouldn't face
This god damn floor
Remeber girls
And plenty of booze
And my tequila desire
Striptease
The metal police
Then I remember nothing more
Because I was
Passed out on tequila - blackout
8. Catacombs (Skinflint)
The fallen children
Against evil they stand
Gathered together
Hand in hand
Too young to avoid their
Dreams reality
Too late to save their
Peace of mind
Their mission was their fate
Tomorrow it can be too late
I see what you do
We'll meet in the catacombs
Kill my practicle jokes
But meet me in the catacombs
Down in the barrens
It's your turn to tell
On neibolt street twentynine
too late to turn back
Rooms are moving
Reducing and growing
Hold together
Whatever you do
This is one of it's dwells
This is a dream taken from hell
Unlock the door
To the bathroom
They sure that
It stand there
Waiting to kill
I see what you do...
Come your friends
Are dying down here
You shall face me
And face your fear
And I know you shall
Die for my peace of mind
In my life
Cry for the pain I'll give you
And don't try to come near
Because I'm scared
There is the spider
Give her a punch
With your mindcraft
For the future
Don't go too far
Cause the turtle is dead
We must kill her once for all
I see what you do...
Skinflint skinflint
The alien from the past
Skinflint skinflint
The alien from the past
Skinflint skinflint
Skinflint skinflint
9. War Without End
Fourty tons of armoured death
Still is rolling
Onward through their trenches
Damnation bell is tolling
A war without survivors
Destruction is in hand
Morbid mad mutations
Walking desolated land
In the end mankind
Pay the price
Of powerhungry nations
And generals lies
War without end
War
War
War without end
War war war
Killing fields that never ends
Open graves remains
Death lurks in all that lives
A barren tomb for us is calling
Fourty tons of armoured death
Still is rolling
Onward trough their trenches
Damnation bell is tolling
In the end mankind
Pay the price
Of powerhungry nations
And generals' lies
War without end
War
War
War without end
War war war
