1. The Latter Rain

2. In The Midnight Hour

In the midnight hour
The moment it all will come down
The earth will roar and its people will tremble
As the unforeseeable comes to pass
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day

Beware until morning comes

Some will succumb, but some will never surrender
Their agonized screams abruptly quelled
In this moment families will be torn apart
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day

Beware until morning comes

A world full of hate
Where love is weakness
People are deceived by snakes
So many fail to see through their veil of lies
Man striving for none but himself
Human greed drives this world to the edge
One day will they all regret
In the midnight hour

In the midnight hour
The moment it all will come down
The earth will shake and people shiver
The unforeseeable will come to pass
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day

People will fall and some will never surrender
The masses, raped, cry out in pain
When it will happen families will be ripped apart
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day

Beware until morning comes

Morning brings the rising sun
The beginning of a new world

Serenity, deliverance
For some

Hear the pounding of the drums
The moment of truth will rend all we knew
Hear the sound of the mighty horn
In a winter night so glimmering and
cold eternity will rise

3. Det Rakner!

Kunstig fremtidsoptimisme
og falsk glede.
Harde kår og fremtidens vrede.
Håpet svinner, bedrøvede sinn.
Bringer morgendagen glede
led den inn

Livet vi levde svinner hen.
Gleder vi deler blir færre.
Livet rakner!
Ting må snu.
Livet rakner!
Vi ledes mot dypet.

Tiden går, mennesker forgår.
Brorskap går til grunne,
familier splittes.
Jammer gir gjenklang i byer.
Disharmoni er.

Livet vi levde svinner hen...

Rettferdighet må vike for urett.
Moral kveles av egoisme.
Empati er satt til side.
Likegyldighet lever.

Slit og besvær preget vår hverdag.
Prøvelser førte oss på avveier.
I ly av avmakt,
sakte vår dag forgikk.
Mennesker graver sin egen grav.

Livet vi levde svinner hen...

Rettferdighet må vike for urett...

Livet vårt rakner
vi ledes mot dypet.
Sakte vi graver vår egen grav.
Livet vårt rakner
vi ledes mot dypet.
Sakte vi graver vår egen grav.

Europa brenner.

4. October's Monody

Like a thief in the night.
I didn't see it coming.
As it creaped nearby.
It burns.
Destruction in it's wake.

Ashes by ashes.
It will all fall apart.
Screams in the night.
No mercy to be found.
Agony rises.
Dismay and fright.
Hope is fading.
No sign of daylight.

Apathy fills the room.

Discourage takes control.
Taking what is left.
No more strength to find.
You will find no cure for this.

Ashes by ashes.
It will all fall apart.
Screams in the night.
No mercy to be found.
Agony rises.
Dismay and fright.
Hope is fading.
No sign of daylight.

I wish I could find a ship and just sail on by.
Let the wind guide me all the way.
Watch all the birds leave and follow them.
In search for warmer land.

The rebirth of time.
Will leave no man behind.
The rebirth of time.
Will conclude the faith of all mankind.

Relieve us of our torment.

5. Their Spirits Ride With The Wind

Their spirits will rise
They will rise at the end of time
Now they ride with the wind
Across the lands of the ancient times
They possess memories of glory and fall
Their spirits will rise
Arise at the end of time

"Banished and betrayed, hunted by empires
Slaughtered in numbers, killed by plagues
The people were brave, but they were chosen to die
In the end they found rest in their promised green land

Once they moved like the wind, now their spirits ride with the wind

Their presence still lives in their pillaged lands"

6. I Total Triumf

Mitt livstre råtnet bort i en strøm av forakt
Jeg dvelte i skyggenes bekmørke blomstereng
Avmaktsrustne kjettinger tvang meg i kne
Lenket meg til det jeg ikke ville se

Det jeg elsket ble til støv
Alt jeg hadde kjært ble sakte fortært
Svakhet ble kronet til konge

Jeg reiser meg, suveren
Med hodet hevet i all prakt
Med blodet brusende hevet over all forakt
I total triumf, et tempel i meg selv
Jeg reiser meg suveren

I en annen tid ville alt vært som før
I en annen tid ville jeg aldri slått tilbake
Jeg har aldri før vært våken
Aldri sett så klart, som jeg nå gjør

Jeg manifesterer som en koksgrå diamant
Bølgen bryter over med en voksende kakofoni
Bryggen knaker som en blodkarseksplosjon
Min resolusjon er satt
Ingenting er som før

7. The Titan

The global age is right upon us
The coming of a new kingdom
A colossus athwart the world

A one world government
The titan is rising in malice
A global domination
The titan will rule the earth

A new empire is rising
Mounting from greed and lust
A new world order
Mounting from greed and lust
Their hidden agenda
Total control
By the keepers of darkness
We are all enslaved

8. As I Wither

I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of…
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I'm falling down again…

Left behind! Rage descended from bitterness.
Still the old bonds hold me. My feet stuck in the anger.

Years filled with sorrow and pain. Has hardened my heart.
Tearing my soul in pieces. My life slowly fades away.

I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of…
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I'm falling down again…

Falling...

As I grasp for the utter palm. All that is left is misery.
Dragging me down. Only to feel despair again.

I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of…
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I'm falling down again…

Feel the rain as it floats on by.
Rain washing clean all the sins.
Feel the smell of morning.
Before you putrefy and decay.

Vanish the absence of emptiness!
Glorify life and release.
Perish the syndrome that haunts me!
Before it drags me away…

Falling down again…

On my way into the shadows. Still the air is calm.
No longer keeping me searching. As my life fades away…

I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of.
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I am falling down again…

9. Morning Sun

10. Sorgenfri

Fire
The fire within
The fire in our hearts will keep us alive
The hope for a better day
The strength of will (the will of a martyr)
Together we will see another day

Need for perseverance
Cause life is hard
Painful fact known to all
There will be no more pain
Our inner flame gives hope
The fire brings rest to weary souls

Every tear in our eyes will be wiped away
There will be no more death, no mourning
The old order of things will perish
The soul is quiet, the world is empty

And everything is vacant

Together
We will find our way
Freed from the shackles of discord and repine
Always remember
A brand new morning will come
In times of sorrow, in times of pain

Hold on
To the bitter end
Through worst tempest we shall stand adamant
We shall not be moved
In the midst of a storm
For the sake of mankind
We will overcome
