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!

The Tarnished Crown
08:00
|
|||
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

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

Fractured Mirror
07:15
|
|||
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

Caravan of Lust
06:50
|
|||
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

Realm of the Necromancer
09:44
|
|||
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
