Dark Ages 09:40
The black wings of night Descend upon the earth The lords of chaos Ride out to do their worst The cold wind gnaws Upon the old grave stones The skeleton kings Sit on their broken thrones Here comes the dark ages So dark that we can’t see Led by the blind sages The slaves that think they’re free Witches cast their spells Binding the weak minds Wizards conjure hell In fear the hearts they bind Pride clouds the vision That once burned so bright Before we see the dawn We’ll go through this night CHORUS/SOLO HERE COMES THE DARK AGES!
2.
You drink from wells well hidden You eat from the tree forbidden You conjure up false mysteries You read between what’s written The serpent has you smitten You think you hold all the keys You wear a tarnished crown of lies Upon your brow of darkened eyes You hold an icy heart of stone In a cave of dead man’s bones You sail the seas for mystic sands Sirens sing songs so grand You lose sight of your home shores You explore uncharted lands Speak things no one understands You win the battles but lose the war CHORUS / SOLO From the dark you cast your spells Demonic thoughts from the pit of hell You enslave the broken minds You weave long tapestries Tales of secret societies Your visions are from the blind CHORUS / SOLO 2
3.
Down to the shores of the - black river That’s where the broken go to be delivered From their pains, from their stains From the heavy weight, of their wretched chains The water’s cold in the - black river A frozen hell that will make your soul shiver The ripples swirl, like serpent curls Hypnotic whispers, from a deadly world SOLO Death awaits in the - black River He’s a taker, never a giver So take me down, to the shores To save the ones, that he abhors Pull them from the waters Free your sons and daughters From the cold depths of the Death that waits in the black river

Sin Eater 04:10
Here I sit, at your death bed Like a vulture at the corpse I promise you salvation As I feed on your remorse I’m your sin eater! Sin eater! Sin Eater! I profit from your pain Sin eater! Sin eater! Sin Eater! Your escape’s in vain SOLO Here you lie on your death bed You’re suffering in your sin I eat of your last supper Your sickness it lies within CHORUS I’ll be your dark messiah Hanging you upon my cross My words the nails now That pierce your soul at a cost I’ll lay my thorns upon your brow now And take control of your mind The heaven that you paid for Is my hell you will find I’m your sin eater! Sin eater! Sin Eater! I’m a prophet of your pain Sin eater! Sin eater! Sin Eater! I’ll drag you down in vain
5.
I take a look in my fractured mirror It shows me all, that I want to see The echoes of the choir chambers Infecting visions of deviltry My heart grows cold through the fractured mirror It drains my soul’s mortality The happy faces, they are taunting With all the things that I cannot be Look away, from it’s gaze It will take your soul away The specters dance in the fractured mirror Marionettes in this twisted fantasy Distorted faces enslaved to beauty Caricatures of what they want to be CHORUS SOLO You take a look in your hollow heart It’s nothing that you want to be You’re trapped inside the power of the mirror A prisoner chained to it’s misery CHORUS / SOLO2
6.
The sons of God with their dark desires Inside their bosoms burn the fires Black sparks birthed from the pit of hell This isn’t right, this isn’t well The softer ones their flesh for sale The broken hearts and wills so frail Crushed under foot and under deed They’re left to die, they’re left to bleed Break these chains of slavery And set the captives free From these caravans of lust From these lives of ash and dust SOLO / CHORUS They’re driven on by the winds of greed For lust and power they rule the meek How heavy the weight of all these chains How heavy the weight of all these pains CHORUS
7.
Twilights falling upon the land The cold dark shadow of an evil hand The specters walk amongst decay Filth and rot lines their way In the realm of the necromancer you will find He has the right to take your life, soul And your mind They have no will that is their own Their eyes are blind their hearts are stone Old black magic rules the air If you walk his kingdom you’ll find despair CHORUS Lord of the darkness the night is his shroud A master deceiver for this he is proud His throne will fall by the power of light His crown will be broken his demons put to flight CHORUS / SOLO STAND! UP AND FIGHT! AGAINST! THE LORD OF THE NIGHT! The captives are waiting in dungeons so deep Withered and dying, enchanted with sleep Who will free them from this grasp of death Their conscience tortured if we forget … CHORUS
