1. Out In The Silence

Leviathans from my bed everything is spinning around my head

in the ceiling there is a hole a black nothing wants me to come

I believe that all our fantasies becomes real in the void and in our dreams

I embark the cimmerian skies and I see a man with flagrant eyes

I penetrate his empty shell he is the oracle of hell

I believe that all our fantasies becomes real I believe in evil dreams

Out in the silence of death into the palace of darkness

is this a dream where I die

In this emptiness I fly my memories begin to fade

I don't remember who I am I was and now I am again

Out in the silence of death into the palace of darkness reincarnation new life

2. Time Is God (Master Of Eternity)

I have been in tomorrow there was not much to see

I was the only one cause no one else could be

Well time was there as an insult to the watch he is the master of eternity

There is time to gain there is time to lose we are ruled by its course

we live and we die but time goes on through every now

forever more- the time is god

He is a collector of everything we do and every scene goes on forever more

I have seen the echoes from the past in a dimension never known to us

There is time to gain...

Always presence and never late he does not care he is just watching our fate

And whatever we are supposed to do

we cannot change the fact that we are ruled

There is time to gain...

3. To Isengard

To Isengard though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone

Though Isengard be strong and hard as cold as stone and bare as-bone...

We go we go we go to war to hew the stone and break the door

For bole and bough are burning now the furnace roars we go to war

To land of gloom with tramp of doom with roll of drum we come we come

We come we come with rool of drum with horn and drum we come

4. Why?

[Dedicated to Jens Roos 1978-1986]

Why? Taken away and gone forever cry I will always remember you

If I could turn back time and make a new tomorrow lost in memories I cry

These tears are meant for you I'm crying over you

Why take away the life of an innocent child

a part of me will always be a part of you

Pain a broken heart, a darkened soul

but life must go on even though the darkest time

5. Mad Messiah

Mad Messiah falls but hallowed you were sanctified

your fantastic lies were followed by the weak and blind

they believed in you so badly and practised what you preached

you took the name of god in vain were you man or beast

Your assembly and requiem your prophecy of doom

the redeemer in the sky did he laugh or cry

You lead them to the doom god's almighty lord praise the fools of earth

Mad messiah salvation by fire

If he told you what to do god must be evil too

in desperation humiliation you took their lives away

Your bad religion and sectarianism it is all a mad man's work

dehumanized then sacrificed to an empty sky

You lead them to the doom god's almighty lord praise the fools of death

Mad Messiah salvation by fire

Mad Messiah you were a liar just a fraud and fake

what is there to say you burned in hell I hope you were satisfied

You lead them...

6. Another Dawn

Oh Daddy come and see please come and talk to me I am so alone and scared

No, you must not cry I know I am gonna die but I need to see you strong

Death is getting close within please hold me in your arms when I fly away

Daddy, are you here can you see her eyes they're gleaming like the stars

An angel from above she wants me to come to the shining light

I see visions giant birds of prey will come to take me far away

I ain't scared no more the place where I will go will take away the pain

you are fading away to a shade of grey and I meet another dawn

7. In The Court Of The Crimson King

Forgive my sins father I will always obey your wish is my command

whatever you say I will never betray you I will cooperate

in the end you must save me before it is too late

In the court of crimson king the key will let me in]

Seven years of wisdom and seven years of pain seven keys to kingdom

and seven gates to hell my soul is leaving for the astral sky

I'm going through some chances I am paralysed

Before the king of twilight in for the crimson court I am a part of the order

I am reborn what a pleasure to be here what a pleasure to die

whole my body moulding I am still alive

8. Sorrow Calls

In the chilly mist I stand petrified by her eyes dark but blazing eyes of

endless night her velvet veil in silver grey shining through glistening tears

and while the colours fade around her I can feel her sorrow

She can feel no happiness as she feeds the night and she cries for all the ones

she loved in life so alone she weaps the dying there is nothing she can do

just guide us to the dark and lonely skies

She is the end the stars will fall eternal night her sorrow calls

In the chilly mist I stand petrified by her eyes dark but blazing eyes

bereaved the light she is the key to the other world and to the endless night

and her veil embrace my soul combined we fly away

She is the end...

She's for real no mirage the incarnated night

her sorrow calls I must follow and leave this life

What is life, what is death just a state of being

nothing matters anymore I must follow her call

9. Where Insanity Rules

Do they listen to what you say do you care about decisions they make

do you want them to rule the game they decide and you have to obey

They rule the world but in fact they are insane what's going on in their

empty brains their conclusions and philosophy does it really bother me

It's a political chaos where insanity rules

What the fuck do they know about the reality show

can they see anything at all from behind those walls

They make the rules for you to follow what's going on in their empty brains

prohibitions and depreciations does it really bother me

It's a political chaos...

They live like kings with diamond rings

I weep the poor with their broken dreams

I can't believe that it's for real their life of ease is something

that I can't feel all the money they make on their political mistakes

They make the rules for you to follow what's going on in their empty brains

they make it worse for the common beings and that really bothers me

It's a political chaos...

10. Shadows Of God

Transcended angels with dark blasphemous names shadows of god

beneath the altar of christ they appear with wings broken and burned

Free from heaven and bound to earth they are trapped and framed by the lies

that god is good and that they are bringers of sins and heretic lies

These masters guide the way through death reborn

scaling vrath to all of those who scorn

A burning stake for god and corruption

they have come to take the abandoned of earth

Who is the keeper of light the father of hell or god what is the truth

who can say where the shadow will fall it depends on where you stand

These masters guide the way...

Mankind fettered on earth we envy the birds in the sky that can fly

but we are the fallen with wings that were lost in time but soon be found

These masters guide the way...

11. Gilgad (The Sanctified)

Gil-gad was an elven king of him the happens sadly sing

the last whose realm was fair and free between the mountains and the sea

His sword was long his lance was keen his shining helm afar was seen

the countless stars of heaven's field were mirrored in his silver shield

But long ago he rode away and where he dwelleth none can say

for into darkness fell his star in mordor where the shadows are
