CEREMONY OF OPPOSITES LYRICS

1. Burning Skies (Prologue)

2. Death's Dominion

Drowned in the pool outside
as suddenly the ability to swim fades
None to help, no one to see the vision
Left in the hands of death's dominion!
Elecrocuted by the wires surrounding
Coming closer to her body
Now there's no way out, no way to escape confrontation
Left in the hands of death's dominion!
One night of misery
A night of greater loss
As they all seem to die
In ways never forseen
No one could explain
The cruesome accidents
That sacrificed their lives to
Death's dominion
Arsened by the dragon's fire
That scorches the soul during the nightmare
As he opens his eyes, he sees the come true vision
Left in the hands of death's dominion!
Torn apart by the voices inside
Which no one can hear, but drives him insane
And as he sees the apparition
Left in the hands of death's dominion!

[Chorus]

Hanging at the end of the rope
As he slipped and fell, now there's no way out
Inevitable suffocation
Left in the hands of death's dominion!

[Chorus]

3. Bathe In Gore

Finally awakening from a nearly everlasting sleep
Finding that you're lying in a pool of bones and blood
Realising after all this time that you are in too deep
Swimming in a seemingly unending bath of gore
And as you bathe in gore
The wish to return to the world above grows stronger
And as you bathe in gore
You realize this is the end and there is no more
Crying for some help you waste the last bit of your energy
While knowing that no one can hear you still
Now the end is near you open up your eyes so you can see
You're drifting in your self-created hell
And as you bathe in gore
The wish to return to the world above grows stronger
And as you bathe in gore
You realize this is the end and there is no more
Asking yourself why you have deserved to overcome this fate
Realising there's no way out fills you sickened mind with hate
Slowly wakening from the nightmare lying between rotting corpses
Trying to escape this hell though finding that you're trapped for good

4. Posttraumatic Disorder

Returning from the warzone
Completely bend and broken
By all that he has seen
Transformed into another
Several times facing death
Has changed a man to machine
The memories will never leave
The memories of what he's seen
And now there is no turning back
To his former state of mind
Forever suffering the consequences of
Posttraumatic disorder
Nightmares terrorize his mind
Re-experiencing everything ones more
Derealizating from the world
Doomed to live within the past
Estranged from his normal life
Now only living in one moment
Losing everything he ever had
Living solitary he'll spend his days
And now there is no turning back
To his former state of mind
Forever suffering the consequences of
Posttraumatic disorder

5. Exoneration

Another execution of a guilty soul
The cruelty of his crime made humanity decide
That our society should be safe from his violent thoughts
And he should be erased from the surface of this earth
Not to commit another crime forever!
Death penalty, the righteous end of a human life
To be executed in front of the eyes of the world
Death penalty, the righteous end of a human life
Your soul will burn eternally within the flames of hell
The irreversibility of the ultimate punishment
Is often proven to be wrong in the end
An eye for an eye can't be what we wish for!
Exoneration no longer possible
Now that the conviction has been performed
Death penalty, the righteous end of a human life
To be executed in front of the eyes of the world
Death penalty, the righteous end of a human life
Your soul will burn eternally within the flames of hell

6. Obscure

Under the dark skies of the night the fading light of a falling angel
Under the bright full moon the slaughtering of the beast is yet to come
In the foreign castle the words have been spoken, the curse has been made
Inside the endarkened room the life of a man's been replaced

[Bridge:]
Darkness has come to take over everything, and to rule over this world of sickness

[Chorus:]
The horror shown tonight has never been seen by man's eyes
This sequence of obscure occurrences took away their chance to hide
For the thing that none of them ever wanted to see
For as dark as night it eternally will be
A shadow has fallen over all of mankind
All light's been taken away to never return again
Forever we all will live in total blackness
And never see a ray of light pass by!

[Bridge]  

[Chorus]

[End theme (screams):]
Before the tomb opened and the beast came out, the ground above it moved from side to side
All the clouds in the sky turned from blue to black … as there was no turning back
It put it's first step on the ground an retrieved the powers it ones had lost
And now it's back on earth and it will rule forevermore!

7. Wall Of Darkness

The battle between good and evil will last forevermore
Our eternal need for power drives us to these cruel acts
These deeds can't be justified by the thoughts in our soul
Though are responsible for the suffering and death
Behind our dark side lies a place that's filled with eternal light
Though hardly shown it doesn't lack importance in our lives
Is it the fear of weakness when showing a side that cares?
Or is it the lack of understanding for the part we try to hide?
I'm hiding myself… behind a wall of darkness
Being here… I won't be hurt by their vicious looks
From here I will build my own world, stronger than theirs
To eventually… take my revenge
Can you show the light within you that's hidden behind this wall?
Or will choose eternal imprisonment above freedom
Try to free your mind by being who you are
And remove this mask that only covers your true identity
The battle between good and evil will continue forevermore
And bring diversity to those unable to fight
These deeds will never be justified by the thoughts in our soul
And bring us down from out of the height
Behind our dark side lies a place that's filled with eternal light
Though hardly shown it doesn't lack importance in our lives
Is it the fear of weakness when showing a side that cares?
Or is it the lack of understanding for the part we try to hide?

8. Deafening Silence

9. Freedom

Longing for the ability to fly out to the sky and be where I've never been
Longing for the ability to touch that what I've never touched before
Longing for the ability to walk ahead and see that what I've never seen
Longing for the ability to escape this cell and embrace my
Freedom, the wish from deep inside to break out
And to not be unheard again
Freedom, the wish from deep inside to break out
And to take over this life
Again I'm trying to break out of this chains that are keeping me so tight
Again I'm trying to fulfil my deepest desire
Still I'm waiting for the day to step out of the dark and see the light
Still I'm waiting for the day to start my life and embrace the
Freedom, the wish from deep inside to break out
And to not be unheard again
Freedom, the wish from deep inside to break out
And to take over this life

10. False Believes

When death lurks around the corner, don't be afraid the end is near
It's just a door to a new beginning, opening in front of you
It's like a dream that's never ending, a nightmare never seen
Like the light of a shining star, thrown upon thee
Why to fear that what so many have already been through?
Is it the fact you don't know what's beyond this door?
We've never seen what's beyond our horizon
And still we know it has to offer so much more
When death comes closer to our side there's no need to run away
For we are misled by false believes thinking it makes sense to pray
Still when our judgment day has come, the day of our departure
All our intentions wash away, we're falling back to none

[Chorus]

Embraced by the arms of our destination
Having reached the final stop
Looking back on the path behind us
While facing ahead to the new world

[Chorus]

11. Inconvertible Changes

A game it seemed to be yet never was
All seemed useless but was to enrich your soul
And still you think that life is this superficial
But what you don't know is that what will surprise you
Inconvertible changes
Every lesson ever learned
Will be taken along beyond death
All the wisdom ever obtained
Won't be thrown away at the path's end
You will find the deeper meaning of your life
As you enter the gates to the life beyond…
When you've finally found the world behind the horizon
That's when you'll know the true meaning of life
Inconvertible changes
Everything that's ever seen by man's eyes
Will change life and how we look at it
All the steps we'll ever take on our journey
Won't make us remain who we are
We'll never be the same again
Now that we've changes for good

12. Soul Cemetary

Welcome to the soul cemetary
The final place for the weak
You never made it to paradise
And now you're doomed to stay in here
Follow me, as I lead you to your grave
Where you will stay until the end of days
So you can witness the arrival of new souls
That are awaiting the same faith

[Chorus:]
Soul Cemetary
The final place for the fallen ones
Soul Cemetary
And thou shall never be unleashed again!
Hidden deep under the surface of the earth
No longer a disgrace for humanity
Escaping impossible,
Leading to your own hypocrisy
The cries for freedom
Will never be heard
'Cause for your weak soul
Will never be searched

[Chorus]

Wishing to return to the world of the living
Yet finding no way out
Trying so hard but never being able to
Stand up and crawl out of the ground
Forever doomed to remain in total darkness
Only the dreams are left to stay behind
Searching for some sense in your own soul
Insanity is all you'll find

13. Into Infinity
