CEREMONIAL OATH LYRICS

1. The Day I Buried

[lyrics:Nordberg]

Felling my cries,don't know what to do
wondering where I am
Looking around,still feeling the pain
burning like a fire so red
The thoughts that you share with so many more
still hearing the screams of their laughter
Inside my body,inside my soul
where I thought I was untill know
Scuffing away as usual always keep in my mind
that the savage treatment of my self
will end when we say goodbye
At home at night the thoughts will arrive
why me,why me,why nobody else
While searching for another tomorrow
they're forcing this man to perdition
Longing for some understanding
I can't express my thoughts for these people
I don't think I have any reason
I wonder if I can stand this any longer
I have to take this step,this step to a place
The place deep beneath or the place
high above the clouds

2. Dreamsong

[lyrics:Iwers]

Light,within us
Dark,without you I'm lost
Forever,the wounds you cause
will never ever heal
Your face is in my mind
etched there by my feelings
which I cannot deny
Enough,I had too much of your games
our days are drawing close
Emotions,I have one
hate I have to feel
It all sounds so strange
Never ever will I see you again
Take me to another place
A journey far beyound
Can't you see that you and me
our bonds will never break
Come take my hand
Never let go
I have too much to say
Walk with me
over the edge
Still never looking back

3. Carpet

[lyrics:Nordberg,Iwers]

He told me he didn't want to be a
liar no more so afraid of being this
carpet flowing around
Emotions just walking by
and put behind the foggy bar
Nobody ever dies
I torch the burning skies
Fire,feeding my cries
Nobody ever dies
Nobody ever dies
Stop forcing your lies
Your hearts are cold as eyes
Nobody ever dies
All he wanted was to disappear
Disappear,into the silent people
Always stamped at
always forgotten
He didn't have to realize
We already realized his rotten life
But he's just waving it away

4. The Shadowed End

[lyrics:Lindberg]

Now the bridges burn there's no return
from this here state
And the words of truth are spoken
they all shall turn their heads in fear
Here at the shadowed end
We all shall meet our lost and dear
A sinister music tears at my brain
A symphony where which my mind is raped
Nocturnal treasures lie beyound
Far beyond reality
The Shadowed end
Passing before my tortured eyes
Marching cross the shadowed skies
As storms they ripped
them blackened clouds
The Shadowed end

5. One Of Us / Nightshade

[lyrics:Lindberg]

Below the ground,breeding sin
Flames abound they tear my skin
Burning me as I fall
A thousand deaths
A thousand souls
A thousand breaths no longer calls
As darness fall the plague is spread
Racing across the northern skies
screaming as I burn
Playing for the astral son
awaiting his return
I was meant to be
the supreme divinity
So come with me,fly with me
Open your mind and set me free

6. Immortalized

[lyrics:Lindberg]

Now the seventh seal is broken
and I close my eyes
Waiting for some sign of salvation
Instead of your saviour
I chose myself
to suffer for the sins of mankind
Immortalized
Immortalized,my future lies dark
Dark and endless before me
I'll outlive the earth,I'll outlive the stars
Walking blind through the darkest of nights
Once again I try to rid me
of the pain that burns inside
and tap the hatred out
The beast of life,she feeds on me
sucks my open wounds
as I bleed

7. Hallowed Be Thy Name

[lyrics: Harris. Originally performed by Iron Maiden]

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.
