1. Vampire Sun
Skull of god with the devils eyes
Crowned in fire sodden sky
Beaming rays of genocide
Into virtues magic lie
Illusive myth of light enslaves you
Vampire sun it drains you
Beg the sword for liberty
Fall before the king of flies
Delirium is flowing free
In our obedience disease
The gift of life is reaped of value
Vampire sun it drains you
Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descend into the pyre
Monolithic angel
Unveil your king to this planet disabled
Mummify the cosmos
With the vision of divinity yeah!
Electric vulture flying high
Through the universal eye
To cleanse the heavens with earth soul
The excretion of mankind
Feeding from the fangs of virtue
Vampire sun it drains you
Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descent into the pyre
2. Hopkins (The Witchfinder General)
She rides to the sabbath
Veiled under silver light
To make love to the devil
Necromancer of nyte
Within the mystic forest
She sets your world alight
Her coven conjure the demons
Herald the sacrifice yeah
Lucifera Vampirella
She bares the mark of the devil
Queen of the witches
Her kingdom is your hell
Black masses in the convent
Priests under her spell
The crops have withered
The sky bends upside down
Her name is Lucifera
The mutant preachers yell yeah
My name is Hopkins
I'm the witchfinder general
My impotence deceives me
You beauty turns me pale
Winds haunt the village
Satan's ghost awakes
The world falls into darkness
As she melts at the stake yeah
Matthew Hopkins witchfinder general
Your soul condemned to hell
3. Utopian Blaster
Today the sun refused to shine
On this war infested land
Beyond our sky, the lord of life
Sending crossbones tumbling down
Citadel on a traveling stone
Magic wisdom our only home
As flesh impostors fight the master
Of forces to them unknown yeah!
Blinded by the power
Life spell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master
Sculptured space in plastic hands
Evil empire of mankind
Blazing light from the sword of mars
Shall destroy this utopian farce
Giant mass of the children high
Sleeping on beds of air
Limitations we've unbound
Come and join us well take you there - yeah
Struck ever after
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master now!
Legend of Earth after
Sleep in dusted grace
Time has ceased our fortune shall begin
Bathe in fountains of laughter
Cleansed by endtime rapture
Embrace the final dawn
Fatal glow - sirens in the wind
Conquest oh we shall capture yeah!
We race upon the unicorn
To a land of towers green
While soldiers march into the void
Guided by mans funeral hand
Golden souls riding on the wind
From the path of nature sinned
Cosmic army military
Our weapons be only love - yeah
Struck by the power
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Face your master now
4. Night Of The Seagulls
We are the blind dead
No eyes inside our head
Our senses lead us to your nightmare
Centuries of death we wear
Pharaoh's cross in dust we bare
Immortal horses slowly ride us to you
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise
The shores unearthly dead
Mournful mothers chilled with dread
Leave their offspring to knights templar
They rise from the sea
At midnight the prize you see
Tied to the post - a virgin screaming
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise - oh!!!
Into our castle led
Seagulls howling overhead
The ritual you face
You shall no after
Your blood we drink for eternity
Flesh unto the crabs we leave
And feed your heart unto Aquarian master
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise
5. Carnival Bizarre
Ride with me on a shooting star
Through galaxies of death we chase
Skeletal king of paradise
Cosmic crown is the jewel you wear
Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rockin' hard
Silver mountain of razor blades
The masses ascend to a golden lie
Evil angels in bloody lakes
Await to celebrate their fate
Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rocking hard
Metamorphisised
From the ghost machine we fly
Through circles of gold
To our celestial throne
Galaxies have died
Dragons breath has frozen
Chaos in serpent forms
Manifest the universe
Crystal phoenix of midnight sky
Carry the burning souls away
Legions of frost we leave behind
Celestial gardens of love we share
Carnival bizarre
Freaks and lepers step right up
Circus of macabre
All the devils are rockin' hard
II Freak out of the mellow man
Cosmic psychonaut
Earth into skies last port
Space turning over now
We elevate our thoughts
Wilderness as we abort, oh yeah!!!
6. Inertia's Cave
Inertia's cave surrounds my heart
Stalactites crashing down
In stinking shades delusion cascades
Of torment, yes I crave
Here with the snakes
My venom dehydrates
Into my stream I hear your scream
Sucking at my veins
My final plea, enveloped
In rapture seething
Inertia's cave dementia echoes
From the ceiling
Staring down, heavens eyes are bleeding from black stars
In crimson rain, seasons blend in cold arms dying
Where flowers die, my spirit thrives
I glisten in your pain
The burning eyes of truth devise
The torture master plan
Mythology
Poisoned reality
Rattling bones
Festering insane
My final plea, enveloped
In rapture seething
Inertia's cave dementia echoes
From the ceiling
Staring down, heavens eyes are bleeding from black stars
In crimson rain, seasons blend in cold arms dying
Light my way
Through the weeping veil
Violet seas
Autumn bride we sail
Kiss the wind
Rejoice on wave of grave
Desolate face
Torment now erased
Copper sunsets
Metal shore of hope alive
Under clouds of thorns
Frozen moon
Tranquil through the mist of pain
To you we sail...
Frail is the mind
Who lets me inside
Now your blood runs cold
A parasite at your feast prepared
For wealth decay
The withered wreath
Your weakness made for you
Before your time society
Will take this from you too!
My final plea, enveloped In rapture seething
Inertia's cave - dementia echoes
From the ceiling
Staring down, heavens eyes are bleeding from black stars
In crimson rain, seasons blend in cold arms dying
Light my way
Through the weeping veil
Violet seas
Autumn bride we sail
Kiss the wind
Rejoice on wave of grave
Desolate face
Torment now erased
... ...dancefloor dementia...
7. Fangalactic Supergoria
With fangs of lust we hail the night
From tombs arise in mortal fright
Feeding from skies of morphia
Fangalactic Supergoria
Slaves of virtue rotting in the sun
Souls for mutilation is sacrificial mass
Pleading for heavens on their bleeding knees
We dream of nothing but this black euphoria
As through skies icy veins we glide
Blades of lightning cleave your mind
Exploding stars, trembling earth
Fangalactic Supergoria
Sin - doctrination in the church of flies
Mental extinction kingdom of demise
Monarchy of corpses state of suicide
Grants you nothing but this black euphoria!
Energy forces from the grave
Soul invaders of mystique
As cadaver we roam the planes
Abandoning chains of flesh
Uncoil the serpent
In duality you are one
Between life and death
Find the threshold you are born
Fall to black master
Awake yourself from life
Back through centuries you die
Ahead of time
Slaves of virtue rotting in the sun
Souls for mutilation in sacrificial mass
Monarchy of corpses, state of suicide
Grant you nothing but this black euphoria
Energy forces from the grave
Soul invaders of mystique
As cadavers we roam the planes
Abandoning chains of flesh...
8. Blue Light
Waning autumn, winter blue
Tonight we dance in praise of you
Oh reaper scream a silent serenade
Of tunes above earths grave
Enigma bites our world in grey
To kill the morning jester fade
Our host of nocturn is the ghost of day
The cosmos for you paved
The milky way pours over me
We own the stars and night
Angel of death has set us free
Blue light of pure insight
Planetary suicide
From violence of red sun we hide
Long live disciples of eternal night
In praise of moonlit sky
The milky way pours over me
At one with stars and night
Angel of death has set us free
Blue light of pure insight
Take his hand
To the land of dreams
Fear not his purple might
Truths unfold
With the grace of death
Iron lace ties our embrace
9. Palace Of Fallen Majesty
We are guided by the moon
Into our palace tomb
Shrine of dead king Midas
Whose gold turned into stone
Children of the grave
Entombed in a faceless day
Are we the ones insane
To carry a spirit flame
Skeleton of centuries
Oh solemn majesty
You'll stand again
Unveil the key
Grant life to we
On this violet night
We await your sight
As the splendour falls
Upon these naked walls
In the haunted garden
A velvet raven calls
Temples born of ice
Release a solemn chime
Into twilight thunder
Within the sands of time
Skeleton of centuries
Eternal mysteries
Released from pain
Again we die
To breathe in vain
Seared wealth of truth
By your touch restored
Summer seized in the grip of twilight fair
As we conceive to retrieve our rightful fortune
Mourn not we, in lost shapes of time reborn
To bathe in seas of you - oh blackest dawn
We find salvation in a palace of dead kings
Hold a knife to the dawn - climb into the dream
10. Electric Grave
Myriad atomic spectres transcend
From the goodness of earth ad amen
Electric legion on a voyage way
Beyond the end yes
The end
Invocation through a crystal coffin pipeline
One second in eternity
A lifetime in this grave
Electric grave
Soul and mind are saved
Colossal incantation
Human mushroom cloud
Ambassador of this mortuary condemned
Under a scythe the silence of a din
Howling vortex begging repent for their sins -
Yes their sins
Celebration of life we have found without them
Empire falling down
Our beauty shall reign
Electric grave
Soul and mind are saved
Colossal incantation
Human mushroom cloud
Press the final button now!
See the melting man
Radiation madness
Earth snorted by satan yeah!
From the electric grave
True believers saved
From the electric grave
From the electric grave
Astral stairs are paved
True believers saved
Snowblind, we burn we meditate
Final vision of people fading away
Together our souls will join minus hands
No promise but we shall find our land
From the last nightmare...
