ORDEN OGAN LYRICS

1. Orden Ogan

[Instrumental]

2. Ravenhead

Looking for those dwelling here in poverty and crime
I'm offering a way to end your sorrows for all time
All you have to do is leave the ones you love behind
I promise at the place we go, a better life to find

Behind the gates of Ravenhead
Halls of evil, dreams of dread
Only the touch of the dead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead

You know you're growing weaker as you're passing by the lake
You must arrive before midnight, whatever it will take
See the abbey on the ledge and the ravens in the sky
This my children of the ruins, it's not your time to die
(Not yet, stay with me)

Behind the gates of Ravenhead
Halls of evil, dreams of dread
Only the touch of the dead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead [2x]
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead

[Instrumental break]

You crawl into the empty halls' enclosing haze of sleep
It's reaping for millennia, your souls it longs to keep
Immured alive in solid walls, this place never stops to grow
The secret locked in Ravenhead nobody'll ever know
(Nobody'll ever know)

Behind the gates of Ravenhead
Halls of evil, dreams of dread
Only the touch of the dead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead [2x]
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead

3. F.E.V.E.R.

[CHORUS:]
FALSE BELIEVER
TRUE DECEIVER
SHE'S THE FEVER
...STEALING THE LIFE FROM YOU

hail to the slave, to the fool
who obeys the order
will he stand - all the worlds misery
king of the word, yet unheard
still keeps - laughing, waiting
like a dog - for the day he'll be free

[CHORUS:]
FALSE BELIEVER
TRUE DECEIVER
SHE'S THE FEVER
...STEALING THE LIFE FROM YOU

[SOLO: Tobi]

hail to the grave,to your wet dark eternity
on the ground, between bones, gold and pearls
countess of lies, in her eyes dark eternities
welcome home, here at the end of the world

[CHORUS:]
FALSE BELIEVER
TRUE DECEIVER
SHE'S THE FEVER
...STEALING THE LIFE FROM YOU

4. The Lake

At midnight by the fireplace
I fell in love with her portrait
Her eyes revealed
She knew I'd take the bait

It's said she rests for many years
Moonlight will make her appear
In the lake that she had filled with her own tears

I gathered all of the stories we have been told
I never questioned she was really out there...
Obsessed by the secret that she may hold
I will find her anywhere...

And there she lies with open eyes
Starring into the night

In the light of the midnight sky
I have found one good reason to die
Take me down to the quiet place
In the lake where she sleeps in grace

It's said she rests for many years
I can see her shade appear
In the lake that she had filled with strays and peers

Sinking deeper
Oh, how the cold fills me out
As the starlight blurs over me
Going deeper
Emerging into the black
For the first time I feel free

And there she lies with open eyes
Starring into the night

In the light of the midnight sky
I have found one good reason to die
Take me down to the quiet place
In the lake where she sleeps in grace

[Solo: Tobi]

In the light of the midnight sky
I have found one good reason to die
Take me down to the quiet place
In the lake where she sleeps in grace

In the lake where she sleeps in grace

5. Evil Lies In Every Man

[Intro:]
Evil lies in every man
Born into a lion's den
Evil lies in every man
Will you try and understand this
Evil lies in every man
Born into a lion's den
Evil lies in every man
Will you try and understand this

Another scream's fading
Into the lightning sky
She's crying, denying
The beloved one has died

Her betrothed had found out
Craved for their lives to take
Betrayed by her own kin
Her tears soon grew this lake

Wed in grief, taken in by lies
Chained to the devil in disguise

Evil lies in every man
Born into a lion's den
Evil lies in every man
Will you try and understand this

Imprisoned, kept alive
Inside her golden cage
Her despair, deep mourning
Turned into hate and rage

Cursed all life, her black tears
Drowned castle, land and heir
Her sorrow, affliction
Is what will kill you there

From the ground she now reigns
Spreading madness and pain

Evil lies in every man
Born into a lion's den
Evil lies in every man
Will you try and understand this

[Solo: Seeb]

At the shore I bemoan
What creature she's become
A sad tale of torment
She'll weep till kingdom come

Behind the clouds a sun is rising
Cut through the veil
The beam is icing me

'Cause her heart knows no light
A blackened soul lurks inside

Evil lies in every man
Born into a lion's den
Evil lies in every man
Will you try and understand this

6. Here At The End Of The World

[feat. Chris Boltendahl of Grave Digger]

So many steps we spent on this way
So many choices led to this day
I can't remember what we lived for
...and I don't care anymore

You still believe that I will stay strong
You kept your faith in me for so long
I'm unfeathered, broke, foundering
...but I don't feel anything

[Chris:]
I'm watching over you now
The reaper's never far
You did escape me somehow
You can't escape who you are

Here at the end of the world
All men die lonely
Here at the end of the world
And here only

So many steps we spent on this way
So many choices led to this day
I can't remember what we lived for
...and I don't care anymore

A better saviour than disciple
Misleadingly entitled
Startle as your fate is unfurled
...here at the end of the world

[Chris:]
I'm watching over you now
The reaper's never far
You did escape me somehow
You can't escape who you are
Here at the end of the world
All men die lonely
Here at the end of the world
And here only

[Solo: Tobi]

Here at the end of the world
All men die lonely
Here at the end of the world
And here only

7. A Reason To Give

On solid ground stands the man whose conscience is untainted
He shall be blessed (shall be respected)
May your smile no longer be forced

[2x]
A reason to give, a call to the inner lie
A reason to hold your principles up
A reason to live, maintaining your private sky
Hurting tent pegs in your mind

Out in the sea, deep in the ground, on top of the highest mountain
Wherever you hide (wherever you run)
You're the fly and the window alike
Thine statue is white, shines in the sun, solely blinds your eyes
Out of the light (into the darkness)
You will never reach its size

[2x]
A reason to give, a call to the inner lie
A reason to hold your principles up
A reason to live, maintaining your private sky
Hurting tent pegs in your mind

8. Deaf Among The Blind

Welcome home, where all clear thoughts get lost in mist
It crumbles, our little place in the abyss
Where blind men - are shouting
...and where the deaf men show how

To find a path out of the darkness

We're gone forever
Lost in twilight
Never coming back
Deaf among the blind
We're bringing
Silence to the black

You built this giant stage to show them what to do
They scream into your ear but nothing's getting through
If I just could tell you
That they will never know how

To find a path out of the darkness

We're gone forever
Lost in twilight
Never coming back
Deaf among the blind
We're bringing
Silence to the black

[Solo: Tobi]

We're gone forever
Lost in twilight
Never coming back
Deaf among the blind
We're bringing
Silence to the black

9. Sorrow Is Your Tale

[feat. Joacim Cans from HammerFall]

In droves they are coming here
I am what they call "the seer"
Let us talk and you will see
Your whole life led you to me

[Joacim:]
You know this place, you have been here before
You suffered so much, can't stand anymore

All my children, come to me
Sorrow is your tale
The cross you bring belongs to thee
I just hold the nail
All my children, come to me
Sorrow is your tale
The cross you bring can set you free
Take this final nail

I will escort you into my lair
We'll take our time to set the snare
Words so sharp they pierce your hands
The truth I show, you can not withstand

I'll raise your cross at a desolate place
Join my collection of your desolate race
I'll make your weakness be your fate
Once realized it will be too late

[Joacim:]
Say your final prayer, no one can descend from there
And for those who try to run - I will build another one...

All my children, come to me
Sorrow is your tale
The cross you bring belongs to thee
I just hold the nail
All my children, come to me
Sorrow is your tale
The cross you bring can set you free
Take this final nail

All my children, come to me
Sorrow is your tale
The cross you bring belongs to thee
I just hold the nail
All my children, come to me
Sorrow is your tale
The cross you bring can set you free
Take this final nail

10. In Grief And Chains

[Instrumental]

11. Too Soon

This is autumn's end
Oh, how the leaves now fall
All this time we spent here
I cannot recall
I am always freezing
It's so cold outside
I miss you here
Day and night

I'd fly to the moon and back
To the sun and the stars for you
I'd die just to bring you back
You have gone from my side too soon

This is winter's end
The ice begins to melt
Flowers will start blooming
Can't remember how it felt
When we were still alive
I'm so cold inside
I miss you here
In the light

[2x]
I'd fly to the moon and back
To the sun and the stars for you
I'd die just to bring you back
You have gone from my side too soon
