LORD OF THE LOST LYRICS

1. Priest

From a million drying lakes
I have cried the tears of none
Empty shivers calling
For my time far undone

I assume that there is no one
That can find my peace of mind
They assume that I am guilty
But guilt, I see none

Priest, Priest

I was born to be a traitor
Invidious to the core
I betray to be the saviour
In times to come and times of yore

The fallen traitor hiding
When all is said and done
A crown deserves its right king
In the shadow of the son

Hold on, hold on my love
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
No one owns your heart
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
Don't fall, don't follow blind
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
No one turns your mind

Break your Priest
Priest

I assume that there is no one
That can find my peace of mind
They assume that I am guilty
But guilt, I see none

The holy fist of justice
Became too tired to fight
And Jesus, he knows me
And he knows I am right

Hold on, hold on my love
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
No one owns your heart
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
Don't fall, don't follow blind
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
No one turns your mind

Break your Priest
Priest

Hold on, hold on my love
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
No one owns your heart
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
Don't fall, don't follow blind
We're all at, we're all at, we're all at fault
No one turns your mind

Break your Priest

3. Your Star Has Led You Astray

Judgment awaits
On who you are
A mind depraved by sabotage
It matters not
Your chosen creed
Your given fate
Can be redeemed

I declare
You're the sinner in the saint
Your star has led you astray
Earn your words
From the headstone engraver
Not one more
Sanctimonious saviour
Truth is all
You're the sinner veiled in the saint
Your star has led you astray
If there's a bullet with your name on it
You could hold the gun, remember this
And point it where your conscience calls
Rechristening the last to fall
Scorned at birth
Sworn to hurt

You conceal
All the light that's inside you
Just be real

And use it to guide you

4. Born with a Broken Heart

From the opening scream
That remains on your lips
Like the torment in your eyes
Left to carry the blame
For the rest of us
You were cast aside

Heaven is a place where you belong
You went down to hell the lonely one
Saviour of all
But you always knew you would fall
'Cause in life and death you know you are
Born with a broken heart

As his blood washed away
And your soul was not clean
So we condemned you to life
Made the traitor to save
Every one of us
Your truth was denied

It hurts to stab in the back
When you knew that from birth
You've been handed the knife
To the victim of fate
Once the torment has gone
Your truth will survive

5. The 13th

Here's all I am
An illusion I am
Remain unseen
An intrusion I am

Was born a ghost
Lived as a lie
Prey to my woes
I hail your words
But I'm unheard
I don't belong

I don't know how to feel alive
And I don't know if I'll ever be home again
I don't know if you'll ever see me fall

I bear your lies
Your words of pride
Despise your codes
Repent my oath
Resent and loathe
The one above

Why did I become the one here and now
Everything that you need is just a vow
Remain in silence, a broken alliance
A traitor to life, to love, to all that we know

6. In the Field of Blood

In the field of blood
An elegy
For the person
That I claimed to be

In the field of blood
In agony
Ashamed of the villain
That I chose to be

Leave me to mourn for what I've done
I have no need for anyone
Bury my conscience deeper
In the field of blood
Leave me to mourn for what I've done
I have no need for anyone
I'll take the longest sleep here
In the field of blood

What is my God?
What is my God?

In the field of blood
The truth will flow
What's in my heart
Oh, I hate to know

In the field of blood
No tear bestowed
The tree in the distance
The end of my road

And I'm dying on my own
I will see this through
And I'm dying here alone

And I'm dying on my own
What is my God?

7. 2000 Years a Pyre

There is no blood inside a stone
I feel the cold seep through my bones
No pain for me left to condone
It's you, it's me, it's us
It's us against the flood

Just pins and needles at my feet
Don't roam in grief so endlessly
I'm drained of love, but I believe
It's you, it's me, it's us
It's us against the flood

2000 tears a pyre
2000 years on fire
2000 years a pyre
2000 years a liar
2000 tears a pyre

My demons kneeling at my crown
I'll never be the one to bow
In tides of time I never drowned
It's you, it's me, it's us
It's us against the flood

I fell from heaven straight to hell
My kiss much more than a farewell
Forever restless, but you know
Way back my story set in stone

A liar, on fire, 2000 years a liar
A liar, on fire, 2000 years, oh
A liar, on fire, 2000 years a pyre
A liar, oh, a liar

8. Death Is Just a Kiss Away

If the longing for someone is measured
By the waves I am drowning tonight
Expect waves when you're crossing that river
Await red to become anthracite

Oh well, love is here and so is hate
But mainly death is what dictates
Love is endless, immortal they say
So might be truth
Fair enough but be that as it may
Death is just a kiss away

Sell your love, 30 pieces of silver
Eat and drink yourself, your sangreal
Build your house on your own Aceldama
Every relish can be your last meal

Seeds we sow
But don't know what we grow
Make or mar
Sear flowers on our field of blood
Hope we seed
We water and we wait in need

With heaven's call
Unavoidably buying the fall

Now there's one sun and there is one moon, dear
And whichever God's the one for you
Just remember that the one you choose here
Makes enemies, no matter who

9. The Heart Is a Traitor

Well I thought you'd be my closest ally
In wars of life and love
But you find deception so pulsating
To satiate your lusts

Craving desire
You want it, you need it, you know
And when you break
I'm left to ache
I'm falling apart
All alone in the dark
When you see me in trouble you go

The heart is a traitor
It hurts me the most
Delusion creator
My own secret ghost

But it beats on

In a hate stained bed where I play dead
My instincts are dismissed
You could not care less for consequences
You twisted narcissist

Craving desire
You want it, you need it, you know
I'm forced to face
All your mistakes
The friends that you've crossed
And the years that I've lost
Still you see me in trouble, you go

In their eyes
Every time
I would lie
It's love

But it beats on

10. Euphoria

In this moment of final farewell what is left to do?
Losing my words, I'm bearing the curse, are you crying too?
Forever I searched for the silence to fill my yearning heart
Why does envy taste bitter, of being just as wrong as you?

I speak to you though, as a friend not a foe, would you care to hear
To your will I'll bow, but choose I can't now that the end is near
I feel like I have failed my kiss leaves me bereft
Your solace turns into betrayal until there's nothing left

Dream with me of euphoria
Drown in the starlight, no beautiful decay
Free, redeemed in Utopia
Forever in grief, desperate in need of euphoria

Follow I will, but I ask of you still to look back at me
No more in hate, but in praise of my fate
That I gave to thee
Your words are the nails for the friend I once hailed

The only gift I have from you
Moving in twilight forever
Devoted to your name
Grasping for reason in love and in treason
My senses have all gone astray
Screaming for calmness in light and in darkness
But peace is the farthest away

11. Be Still and Know

[Instrumental]

12. The Death of All Colours

Son of God
Seen you in a dream
Heavens above
We are torn in need

Truly you said
To all who came
To all who will stand
And invoke your name

My name has been carved
In generations of the stars
Trees I have grown
But it wasn't my own nut

You seek my praise
But even that not without shame
I begged him to betray
So he's not the one to blame

The perdition of cosmos and chaos
Does the human spirit die
There's no solace in all of your prayers
No salvation in your sacrifice

Why have my words led you to anger?
I'm the god who has lived within you
Your kiss leads to the death of all colours
For your life will be all palette too

Lift up your eyes
And look at the cloud
In the pale light
And the stars surround

Son of God
Seen you in a dream
Heavens above
We are torn in need

13. The Gospel of Judas

You fill this canvas yourself
(Judas, Judas)
You the draw the lines, no one else
(Judas, Judas)
When they abuse your name
(Judas, Judas)
You break your own frame
Father

All of these words are your own
(Judas, Judas)
You set your story in stone
(Judas, Judas)
But when your sculpture's defiled
(Judas, Judas)
You burn your own throne

You found your faith and turned on heaven
Your blame and shame all be gone
Judas, Judas
You found your faith when all was blackened
You're now where you, you belong
Judas, Judas

You write the music yourself
(Judas, Judas)
When with the devil you dance
(Judas, Judas)
But when your demons want more
(Judas, Judas)
You burn your own score

You found your faith and turned on heaven
Your blame and shame all be gone
Judas, Judas
You found your faith when all was blackened
You're now where you, you belong
Judas, Judas

(Judas)
(Judas)

They call you a traitor
(Judas)
But little do they know
They hallow the saviour
(Judas)
And nothing do they know

You found your faith and turned on heaven
Your blame and shame all be gone
Judas, Judas
You found your faith when all was blackened
You're now where you, you belong
Judas, Judas

(Judas, Judas)
(Judas, Judas)

14. Viva Vendetta

Give me a purpose
A light in the sorrow
A life beyond this death
Oh, give me a reason
A kill for the arrow
A heart behind this breath

Give me a purpose
A point for tomorrow
A cellar gate to shut
Oh, give me a reason
A Daimon to harrow
A vein that I may cut

You bleed, you cry
You're crucified
But never shall you die
Viva Vendetta
The redder, the better
A bleeding heart can't lie
Viva Vendetta
You're bleeding forever
I'll never let you die
Let you die

Give me a purpose
Some worth for the worthless
A downfall to enhance
Oh, give me a reason
To punish this treason
A revengeful romance

Wistful intent
I won't relent

Good God, I'll take my time
You bleed, you cry
You're crucified
But never shall you die

No! No!
Thrown to the dogs
Cut right to the core
It's never enough anymore

15. Argent

Now breathe in ghosts and crawl inside
To kneel and choke before the hive
I fall unto these hands
I call into the black

Are you out there?
Are you out there?
I suffer
Your thirteenth suffers

Are you out there?
I'm clinging to the dark
Are you out there
My fallen counterpart
Betrayal burns like the silver in my heart
Are you out there?
The error of the stars

Now steal into oblivion
Beneath the true obsidian
I fall unto the heath
I call into the deep

The error of the stars
The error of the stars
A searing oath in the circles of his heart
Are you out there?

The error of the stars

From fields of blood to the furnace of his heart
Are you out there?
The error of the stars

16. The Heartbeat of the Devil

My empire feeds on me
Worn out, I'm a ghost
What could I do to bring you closer?
Stand with me on the edge of the sky

Born in flames
Fighting fire with fire
Come here and feel my heart
The heartbeat of the devil
Forged in pain
Drawing nigher and nigher
Come here and feel my heart
The heartbeat of the devil

Deep eyes, dark diamonds
A desperate silent cry
What could I do to make you free me?
Teach me to satisfy your desires

Come here and feel me
Come here and see me
Come here and feel my heart
The heartbeat of the devil

17. And It Was Night

Into the dusk you stray
In search of an escape
A thief in need of grace

No soul is immune to
The melancholic moon
And nature's tranquil tune

I want to feel
That reason's real
And face the profane
For faith to remain
So daemons be clear
That we know the fear
The truth is riding tonight

In peace we kill the lights
And it was darkness
And it was night
We dream with open eyes
And it was darkness
And it was night

Beneath the lustred stars
Discover who we are
In other's tainted hearts

The mysteries enthrall
As distant wisdom's call
To echo through us all

No soul is immune to
The melancholic moon
But fate has come too soon

And it was night

18. My Constellation

The horizon will weep
When it swallows you whole
I still feel your soul
While our god's still asleep

In celestial bliss
Breaths like ocean tides
When we run from the lights
The dreams we resist

I hold you close to my heart
You're my revelation
You're my revelation
And my cross
I'll always follow your stars
You're my constellation
You're my constellation
When I'm lost

Oh impossible mine
When you will be gone
Alone
A night will be a lifetime

Will our prayers come through?
When you're silent I'm lost
In love, star-crossed
I look up and see you

Two moons
Aligned
Invisible ties
Blamelessly in my arms fall asleep
In my arms fall asleep
Sinking in eternal sleep

19. The Ashes of Flowers

All in atonement are
Gone with the ashes of flowers
All the abandoned are
Gone with the ashes of flowers

When will the great day of light
Dawn for the heirs of the night
All the believers are
Gone with the ashes of flowers
All of the godless are
Gone with the ashes of flowers

Where did you go
What did you do
When you left us?

20. Iskarioth

I can forgive
An enemy
But not someone
So close to me
We held the gold
Not long ago
A faithful trust
A common goal

And it was night

Other than truth
I feared nothing
Suffered the cruel
Time and again
Cut by the stones
They threw my way
Back when I knew
We could not fall
Other than truth

I feared nothing
Suffered the cruel
Time and again
Sacrificed
All for one thing
Impure revenge

Oh, the bitter end
Of empathy
That putrefied
Your legacy
Your death bell tolls
My heart aglow

A fatal trust
A friendless foe

Who's justified?
Who truly lied?

No discussing
Who played the part
With all their heart

21. A War Within

I tried to walk a noble course
But doom had loomed from when
They spoke of pride but forced remorse
In everyone but them

Then I fell, then I fell into despair
All of them, all of them left me there
Way too weak, way too weak, too bereft
In these lies, in this torment, in death

A war that's within
(The soul that's without)
The lost never win
(Can't beat the devout)
Grievous and grim
(Weak and worn out)
A war within, a war within

The birds that circle sense my hurt
And flesh to peck is nigh
A guilt that man does not deserve
Is pain you can't defy

I tried to walk a noble course
My face, disgraced, won't fit
My punishment is their reward
They need a hypocrite

22. A World where We Belong

Paving my way
On blood and bones
Nothing will stay
But love alone

A world where we belong
A world where we belong

Lighting the way
A fire
Bloom in decay
Faith abides

Burn the earth before your feet
All that you feel's a phantom of grief
Making your way to new breeding grounds
Leaving behind the ache all around

Bring me further
To skies above
Bring me closer to the stars
Bring me further
From all I've lost
Bring me closer to the stars
Closer to the stars

Drawing the lines
In the sand
Fate is divine
My pain relents

A world where we belong is calling
Hope is what we have won

23. Apokatastasis

[Instrumental]

24. Work of Salvation

Which no eye of an angel's ever seen
Where's no curse of any daemon's been

And it was
Bleak darkness
And it was night

He was our light
He shone so bright
He shone so bright

No thought of the heart ever comprehends
No feel of the spirit understands

He was our guide
Throughout the night
Throughout the night

We have seen it in visions and in dreams
What no eye of any angel's seen
