1. Back From The Dead
Welcome to my funeral
My family and my friends
I hope you've enjoyed the living me
Because the dead one never ends
Your tears of joy
Are hid by tears of regret
You'll remember my parting ways
As the first time we really met
You count me out
You'd better have your doubts
Don't let my death go to your head
Because I'm back from the dead
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I've always been a loser
And settled for second best
Now I've got another chance
And I won't fail again
I crash through the window
At the will reading party's host
What's the matter dear family?
You look like you've seen a ghost
No time to run
Not till I've had my fun
This one time you won't forget
That I'm back from the dead
Back from the dead, back from the dead
??? reasons why
?? just the die
Laugh at me you'll regret
There's no stopping the living dead
I'm back from the dead
Back from the dead, back from the dead
2. The Elder Race
Look through the mystic door
At the hidden depths which all men share
Long and hard was the war
When man usurped the Earth
Last to fall the serpent men,
Driven into the waste and left to die
They returned as priests
Of their evil cult in human guise
Back to the palace,
Puts his trust in a man, he does not know
He can't believe the things he does who
His very chamber underlined with hidden halls
There is no idea what this night will befall
From the wars of old
Etched on all men's souls
Eldritch words only man can speak
Mystic runes, they must keep alive
Into bed, and feign deep sleep
TĂș the counselor knife bared creeps
Traitor slayed his face doth change
There leers in its stead a vile serpent's head
Can't you see they're coming back
To rule the world again
Plot revenge through their evil cult
The serpent men
He looks out and wonders,
Which are men and which are not
He speaks the eldritch words,
Which he was taught
They rush the dias,
Victory finds defeat
Burst through the throne room,
Someone in his seat
Blades unsheathed, totem's face
Which will win, tiger or snake?
Fight ensues, traitor slayed
To purge the Earth, the promise is made
The elder race
3. Bitterness And Hatred
You destroy all that we create
Your lives are filled led with prejudice and hate
Search for tomorrow but there's only yesterday
Time and time again
Fight to release years of anger
Buried so long ago
Uncovered by your lies
Which I despise
Take these hearts and squeeze them tighter
Suffocate a life
Controlled by your hand
Be it ever so damned
Innocent is the shame
The young will follow the old's to blame
You'd sell your soul for a dollar
You'd kill a human for a color
You're laughing yet
You're hiding in your institution
What worth is fighting when there's no solution
For all time, conscious crime
Freedom's son forgotten
You're loving and you're hating
You're a contradiction
It's a holy crusade, but you have no religion
They're not like you so you plead high treason
You're living in hatred with no reason
Bitterness and hatred to you and your kind
Living for hate, you're not perfect
Tell me the reason why
You're living out a lie
Why?
Bitterness and hatred to you and your kind
4. Black Edifice
On the hill the dark house looms, softly calling me
Drawing me ever nearer, something for me to see?
Lurid voices call me, cannot resist and fight
Walk the wide staircase, day turns into night
The locked door opens, like magic,
As if by my touch
The darkness greets me as if it were always such
The book is opened my name appears
I know I am welcome here
Up the stairs and to me room,
My things have all be placed
Courtesy of destiny,
Arrangements made by fate
Into the ballroom the partisans dance
Waltz induced by death's romance
The music stops' the dancers turn
Join death's dance I will learn
The mirror casts no reflection,
Glass stars back at me
Fool of dark deception,
A laugh blows through the trees
Death for entertainment can't you see
The fates have all been laughing at me
The masks have all been lifted,
The charades at its end
Along with the others I realize now that I'm dead
Never thought life could be so damn evil
5. Divine In Agony
Chaos prevails, living in a dying hell
But you can't change
It's just the world we live in
Rise above the rest, if you want to be my guest
But the odds are on that you wont make it
Torments as far as the eye can see
Looters sifting through the debris
The son of Cain turns in his grave
I feel I've reached doom at last
Shades of deception, cast your fate on me
Power of rejection, never leave me be
Corruption rules at my will
Ancestors of this demon in me
They call to me demanding uncivility
It broke my will, it laid my dreams to waste
Destroy or adore me love or abhor me
Hated ecstasy this joyous agony
Ambience of mourners,
Know that it's the end
Decadence only goes so far,
The other is blown away
Final time alone in shades
Where are my friends
They said they'll be here till the end
My pleas fall on silenced ears
The dark is coming the sun won't rise again
Recede to nothing I can't let that happen
You're the one who can be devoured by agony
6. Hear My Screams
A sickness in my body, disease within my brain
Psychic trauma emotional madness
My mind's filled with fear and pain
Enter my subconscious, memories not my own
Realities but a dream, that won't leave me alone
Blackness fills my empty void
Things not what they seem
Suicide reigns as tyrant
Darkness rules supreme
Watch in fear
As I take control of you
Panic stricken overridden,
Won't know what to do
Cannot men a broken heart
Past the point of madness
Tears you wear as you sleep
Only bring you sadness
Leave me be I'll tell you now
Quit screaming in my hear
When darkness comes to you
I'm the only one who'll hear you scream
Scream fighting for your life
There is no insight
Darkness rules supreme
No one hears you scream
My dear brain cries out
To those of you who've had
No one to stand beside you
When you're going mad
7. Sealed In Blood
Lurking in the shadows
As one with the mist
I'm waiting for you fair lady
To give you my bloody kiss
Run and hide
Time to die
Age old love
Sealed in blood
Put up your wall of crosses
Take refuge in benevolence
My hounds of hell will dispel
All attempts at defense
Come to me
Sweet child
Feel my touch
Taste my blood
Running and hiding through London's streets
On your neck I'll feed
Running fast, but I'm always behind you
Tonight you'll bleed for me
The look in my eyes
Will be the last for your willful soul
You raise the stake, but cannot strike
As my aura takes control
Be my bride
By my side
Fates entwined
Sealed in blood
8. Dream Death
Arriving home but feeling distraught
Life's not what it used to be
But that's the way it was taught
Leave behind the fear of sleep
And the oncoming visions
It's the battle of your mind
Of love and decisions
Because the mind knows weakness
And weakness is fear
In a land where you can scream
But no one can hear
Enter this timeless plane
Mind's torment and pain
You only have death to lose
And your life to gain
Dream death
Somebody get me out of this nightmare
Dream death
Never thought life could be so damn evil
Ask God to help but he seems to be blind
He would help you if he could
But evil's in the mind
Contemplate suicide
But the dreams won't go away
Death ends life and life starts death,
It's easier that way
Because the mind knows weakness
And weakness is fear
In a land where you can scream
But no one can hear
Enter this timeless plane
Mind's torment and pain
You only have death to lose
And your life to gain
Dream death
Somebody get me out of this nightmare
Dream death
Never thought life could be so damn evil
Hide in false illusions
Is that the only way you can escape the hate
Put away the past
Before your moral freedoms are taken away
Dream death
Somebody get me out of this nightmare
Dream death
Never thought life could be so damn evil
Dream death
Somebody get me out of this nightmare
Dream death
Never thought life could be so damn evil
Dream death! Dream death! Dream death!
