INKVISITOR LYRICS

1. Dark Arts Of Sanguine Rituals

[Lyrics by Jesse Kämäräinen]

Arriving to the scene, corpse on a plain sight
Murder, it cannot be unseen
A body to be found in an obscure manner
No blood on the ground, bloodletting by a master
The purity, he took his time
He had a vision, to perfect the crime
Clearly a ritual, has to be a clue
Seems sacrificial, an M.O truly new

Red rum
The dark ritual
Red rum
Body void of blood
Red rum
A madness perpetual
A lust for sanguine lifeblood

Wasn't the first, sure as hell won't be the last
He'll kill again, I'll have to move fast
There's no lead, he's too good
A mastermind indeed, those in Hollywood
A puzzle to be solved, I'll crack the case
The mystery unveiled, he'll leave a trace
The act was brutal, like a piece of art
Resistance futile, but I can tell them apart

Truly the art of murder

No blood
Lifeblood

2. Second Sacrament

[Lyrics by Jesse Kämäräinen]

As weeks
Turn to months
He keeps in hiding

He kills again
The ritual's the same
I'll end his reign

This ancient way
Again on lunar day
There's no running away

Searching diaries
Deep in libraries
The answer is there

Like chasing a shadow
I can't let it go

Dark books tell the tale
That set me on his trail

Chasing a shadow
A mighty foe

Dark books tell the tale
The mystery will unveil

A literate man
Came to me
Says he can guide me

Sheds light on the case
Almost grasping the answer
This world is a maze

An odd man
A polite man
Indeed a wise man

Ancient legends
Tell the truth
Necromancy is the key

Still…
…A piece missing…
The answer…
…keeps…
…Eluding me

The mystery
Will
Un
Veil

3. A Shadow Suspended By Dust

[Lyrics by Markus Martinmäki]

Isolated, not alone
My thoughts are not my own anymore

Strict mind dissolving walls
Fill'em with conjectures and symbols

Abandoned my kin, deserted wife and offspring
By drinking too much, loading veins with drugs

Years of evidence and material
Where's the answer, where can it be found

Seek existence in a mirror
But it's not my reflection

Come tomorrow again
Won't quit even if I go insane
Saw the sun before this begun
Unveil the shadow by blowing off some dust

I'm living in a head of a murderer
Solution hanging by a thread
Like being controlled by conjurer
Every night dreams blood red

Where's my mind, where has it gone
Am I a fool neglecting all?

There's a man in a mirror
But it's not my reflection

Searching through everything I have ever found
Diving in my mind to see what's it all about
Browsing papers, thousands of papers, portraits painted
Shadow lies in a picture it looks just like him

Avoiding death like this, impossibly bound
Two men are the same, when was he born?
Hundreds of years, it clears, answers awaken
The wise man I met, it must be him

Searching through everything I have ever found
Diving in my mind to see what's all about
Avoiding death like this impossibly bound
Two men are the same, where is he now?

Avoiding death like this impossibly bound
Diving in my mind to see what's all about
Searching through everything I have ever found
It's dead or alive, law abides, get out now

4. The Confession

[Lyrics by Jesse Kämäräinen and Markus Martinmäki]

Driving like a maniac to make an arrest
Keep on accelerating, red lights won't keep me waiting
Same bar every night, I've got the suspect in my sight
As I start to read his rights, he says there's something you should know

Why do you think I sit here alone
I've been waiting for you all along
Now listen carefully because

I practise conjuring and necromancy
All the murders were done by me
So let me tell you the receipt for a sacrifice
You already know how long I've been alive

I am the one you've been looking for
And I've got a secret for you
If you want to survive the end of life
Then somebody has to die

And if you want to stand the test of time
An innocent one must die
You are to become my partner in crime
All my powers are to be yours

It all seems so fascinating
Immortality or morality
Is it something I can't justify

He practises conjuring and necromancy
All the murders were done by him
So better brace yourself but not for a fight
I already know how long I've been alive

5. Mindslaver

[Lyrics by Jesse Kämäräinen]

Why I chose you, I'm overdue
I've seen enough, there's nothing on this earth anymore

The world lost it, the unity
The vanity took its place
Now I'm going to the other side

Man lost himself in the pages of history
For a sake of a man made god

Unanswered questions, I seek redemption
It can't be found here, leaving to the other side

Descent to darkness and may the bridges burning light the way
Ascend from madness to walk among gods
It is your destiny

Mankind has failed, brotherhood has been lost
The prison of the mind
And the cancer of your soul
Complete the ritual, sacrifice your family
Through death you'll be born again
Reclaim your throne

To have this power a sacrifice is needed
Blood of your family completes the ritual
Provide the lifeblood and I will guide you
Let go of yourself and be born anew

6. Necromancy Cascade

[Lyrics by Markus Martinmäki]

Through darkness of future past
The necromancer wants to see
One chance between two worlds
Never to be complete

They wouldn't understand
Amidst the mist echoed a squeal
Walk with me
The lack of empathy, obsession to necessity
My manifest destiny

The match is lit, mind has been set
Grab them from their beds and bring them to me
Can you smell the sulphur, scorched oil, feel your blood boil?
Don't try to avoid what you were made to be

Imprisoned in eternal cell
Firm grasp around their necks
Can you hear the toll of the bell
Accompanying our last dance

Cascade
Fall

Enough is enough it's time to start
Let us start

Knock 'em out cold and silence comes
Lights out

Cascade
Fall

Take them now lock in a trunk
It is done

Don't forget your shovel and shotgun
Load it up

Drive'em far to hang on a wall
Upside down

Now take this knife and begin the ritual

They didn't understand
Amidst the mist echoed a scream
Walk with me
The lack of empathy, obsession to necessity
My manifest destiny
They didn't understand
To diverging stream
Walk with me
Obsessions, necessities, my manifest destiny
Cascading necromancy

7. Paradigm Shift

[Lyrics by Markus Martinmäki]

Well how did I come this far
Moments away from becoming immortal
A bloody overflow
Sanguine entity hits the floor

Hardened veins filled with black tar
Cannot be torn apart
Did I come this far?
Unfinished piece of art

And I feel his breath behind me
A lust for lives to end
A mission merciless
A sense of fear

A glance in their eyes, commencing to comprehend
My mind had been poisoned

What have I become, blackened heart
Soul full of tar wickedness took part
What have I become, brother in arms
So full of tar wickedness took part

Do it!
Little lives mean nothing
Do it!
Life eternal forthcoming
Do it!
Beginning of a new end
Do it!
And I won't be bent
Do it!
Amending

So rip your head right off for me
Sudden awakening
The end is near, this reign ends here
And the necromancer soon to be fucking dead

8. War Is Path To Victory

[Lyrics by Markus Martinmäki]

War! Iron curtain call!

Fist coils into an iron ball
Don't need a fucking gun
When I ram fist thousand miles an hour
To his sternum shattering bones to dust

Doesn't stagger at all, extending claw
Slits my wrist blood begins to pour

What do you think you know'bout war?
I've seen it all and a thousand more
Not giving up, surrender and crawl
Bow down, even legions fall

What do I think I know'bout war?
Spare a life hand over your own
Violence consists of certainty
That war is a path to victory

A chance to counterstrike
Cut them loose, run for your lives
An attack from behind, I'm running out of time
Unstoppable frenzy, smash his face with high efficiency,

War! War! War! War!

I'm still alive, but why won't he just die?
A shotgun shell, unload a barrelful to his head
I can still hear evil laughter in my ears
This is the end; swallow a barrel full of lead

What do I think I know'bout war?
I've seen it all and a thousand more
Not giving up, surrender and crawl
Bow down, even legions fall

What do you think you know'bout war?
Spare a life hand over your own
Annihilation of your enemy
War is a path to victory

9. The Revenant (Redeemer)

[Lyrics by Jesse Kämäräinen]

All is lost, my doom
I am fading away
Line's crossed, voice heard
Your time isn't yet

Drift to black, wake up home, all is well
You must tell, where is him, what the hell
I must know now!

I was dead but now I'm back
Resurrected from the dreamless void
It was a test and I prevailed
All revealed knowledge passed

The old withdraw so the young may rise
A new dominion without compromise
Covenant without god
The Revenant will arise

A trail gone cold, how will this unfold?
Left behind was a book of old
A letter inside, tells bindings my guide
Everything is passed
He fled earth as I proved my worth
Now I am the heir

I was dead but now I'm back
Resurrected from the dreamless void
It was a test and I prevailed
All revealed knowledge passed

The old withdraw so the young may rise
New dominion, no compromise
A covenant without god
The Revenant will arise

The victory defeated me; I became marooned in this reality
I felt the paradigm shift, but now you carry the torch
Dark arts of sanguine rituals, these are yours, use them well
But beware not to lose yourself

10. Quagmire Twilight

[Lyrics by Markus Martinmäki and Jesse Kämäräinen]

I found myself wandering swamp as far as I can see
Legs heavy, cast to lead, should I trust my eyes blindly

In a distance mountains stories high time seems like a river passing by
But I'll stay for a while instead, a long long trip ahead

Do you understand?
Purple Mountain rises, reaches the skies to tell me lies
I'm knees deep in peatland, the land is glass now
My reflection left me alone

And over the twilight illuminating the endless nights
Beacon lit with wildfire, together insanity dies
These grounds so unholy, sun so scorching
High winds blowing

Am I trapped in here forever, last flower as my only leper
Finding my way out stumbling Penrose steps to a bottomless well

Forceful thunder cracks the sky
Air is flowing with electricity, pink acid rain falling
Implosion of the brain, path of the left hand
Green glowing barren wasteland

And over the twilight illuminating the endless nights
Beacon lit with wildfire, together insanity dies

Step by step to nowhere, never-ending nightmare
Finding my way out stumbling Penrose steps to a bottomless well

Sanity shipwrecked on shoals of psychedelia
Beacon of madness shining in the distance
Guiding me to ethereal desolation of loneliness

And over the twilight it is time for me to fly
Finding my way out stumbling Penrose steps to a bottomless well

So what if we are insane, we have walked through fields of pain
Finding our way out stumbling
At least we've got a good story to tell
