SACRED OATH LYRICS

1. The End

There's a child staring across the water
As he sights his forgotten
Tears flow from his hideous face
The face that has lived through the hell of his race

The time is lost as he sights the moon
The music is sweet,he begins to swoon
The water is rising,washing away any evidence
Of the failures & ruins,the destruction of man

The taste of salt in his mouth
As he stares at the emptiness left in the south
His body is numb,unfeeling to this death
He dies with three sixes engraved on his breast

Now there remains only the water,just a fragment of sand,& the blood on the altar
Has flowed through the generations of blindness
As they prayed to their symbols of peace & kindness

2. Two Powers

The dream it ends,Or was it real ?
My mind cannot recall
I saw the world engulfed in sea
the power forces fall
I begin to fall into a deep sleep,
Or is it another plane ?

I saw the world,a lump of clay just hanging there in space
And in the core the rock contorts to form an ugly face
Tears condense & fall upon the earth - life begins again

Foliage spreads across the earth
The sunlight gives us warmth to ease the birth
Creatures crawling,swimming,flying -
Fighting
Two powers arise,& one descends,
Two powers fight until the end
The race is on,the battles begun

3. The Omen

I ruled a world possessed with hate
It's destruction was a product of your fate
This world is done,I'll build anew
Though my father is king,
his reign is through

Watch my hatred flow
As my offspring grow
Now I'll rule again
The Omen

The seed is sown to create
my tainted son
Eyes wide open,mission has begun
Watching father,thunder cracks the sky
Feel the rain,it's his turn to cry

4. Message To The Children

I rule the sky,messenger of light
And the world is anew once again
I had failed before,my son prevailed in war
He was drowned & sent to repent
But things turned out differently,
a ruler he must be
Now he reigns in Hell
His intentions ? Well...

He has set out to crush the world again
He has planted his seed
And death awakens within

The time has come for
the people to see
It is I who will grant them
their dreams
It's not over yet,nor will it ever be
But the pain ?
I must end misery

5. A Crystal Vision

Now the time has come
The battle will begin once again -
Death
The two powers will fight for control
Will the Omen tempt the soul ?

Man may perish again for he will
never feed the light
No,man is never right
He'll never win the fight
I sense the rain

You children of Christ aren't any better
Your world is getting wetter now !

6. Magick Son

As the battle subsides neither power has won
Like a star falls a second son
Made in the likeness of the other,
Casting spells -
the wizard knows the ways
Black & white,highest grade
Watch him weave spell after spell

Hear my prophecy,doom shall come to thee !
Perpetual night,dark must join with light

Magick Son warns us of the end
Magick Son - a bolt of light,
he does descend
Magick Son warns us of the end
Magick Son - our ways we must amend

Before the two the twin speaks his peace
Yet they frown,both in disbelief
Watch him turn earth into water

Both father & son scorn at this plea
It's been this way forever & so it shall be
Both sons prepare to fight as the
king stares on in fright
The dark one conjures up despair
Magick Son is sucked into the air !

7. The Beginning

There's a child staring across the water
As he sights his forgotten father
Tears flow from his hideous face
The face that has lived through
the hell of his race

The time is lost as he sights the moon
The music is sweet,he begins to swoon
The water is rising,washing away any evidence
Of the failures & ruins -
the destruction of man

The cycle goes on

The taste of salt in his mouth
As he stares at the emptiness left in the south
His body is numb,unfeeling to this death
He dies with three sixes engraved on his breast

Now there remains only the water,
just a fragment of sand,
and the blood on the altar
Has flowed through the
generations of blindness
As they prayed to their symbols of peace & kindness

8. The Invocation

Into the night the unsuspecting
souls play with fire
Back into the woods where they
began their moonlit rite
Out of the night shadows kurk
behind every turn
Torches light the fire as their souls
begin to burn

Armed with candles,books,& crosses
and so they think they'll call the forces
A quest to speak with the dead
what silly thoughts are in their heads

And now they move into a clearing
the leader stand - the rest are kneeling
Strike the match - the dead must sing
The long - lost souls the y hope to bring

Light the candles
Hear the bell toll the sabbath
All join hands
Let's summon our infernal friends
Read the scripture
Join in our hymn to the dead
The invocation has begun

Demons soar as souls take flight
They'll never make it through the night
Make a wish,kiss & tell
Their souls forever trapped in Hell

9. Shadow Out Of Time

Before time was known to man was the shadow out of time
Before the moon was seen above was the shadow out of time
Incantations fill the air,
now hear tribal members cry
Feel the vengeance in their song as another savage dies

Chant by candle,pray to flame
Sun & moon remain the same
Mourn the death,a tribal boy
now a corpse cold & tame
Dark hides terror of the night
Now enter precious holy light
Moon is high & rules the sky
No more wiil your people die

Shadow out of time

All rise,join hands,the invocation has begun !
By the pagan goddess & the horned one - so be it
By the flames of the underworld
they shall light our skies again
Cease darkness
This rite has ended

10. The Ferryman's Lair

Death is his life - he kills the innocent for his own need
The end of his knife is stained with the blood of a forgotten creed
Running alone,living his life in sincerity
The fall of a throne satisfies his need for security

Many men before in their foolish youth have tried to mislead the Ferryman
To pass the cold waters with reason uncouth,they tried to play him a merryman

From a forgotten land he rules the waters to eternity
His bony hand is ridden with the blood of his daring prey
He works for a god & a devil as well
Oh ! Watch him nod as you enter his hell

He peers out from his hood
laughing aloud as you step in his lair
His black ugly hood stares into souls as he asks for his fare
But take care foolish passenger
please beware of the Ferryman !

11. Rising From The Grave

On this night my spirit will rise
Through your life death takes disguise
Your deceit has tortured my soul
Take revenge - my hatred unfolds now

Into the night I'll take your useless life
Feel my vengeance as I kill you with my knife

Rising from the grave -
feel my evil knife
Rising from the grave -
I've come for you,I've come tonight
Rising from the grave -
feel my evil knife
Rising from the grave -
I've come to take your life

The time has come for all to take the sacred oath
The time has come for the dead to avenge the living
This oath shall be the doorway to your world
It is sacred - unite darkness with light

On this night all remains the same
Except your life - it ends in writhing pain
