WINTERHORDE LYRICS

1. That Night In Prague

[Instrumental]

2. Antipath

Through the Opera House narrow corridors
He walks alone
Leaving an empty stage and vivid lights
Forty three years old, but nobody's at home, as he returns
To drink his desperate love away tonight
As every other night....

God has turned your back to me
Why can't you see?
I'm alone in this world
And this world is so cruel to me
Ah... Broken fantasies
Torn in between
The embodied dreams and illusive reality

Boring Hell
Satan asked for an orchestra
Boring Hell...

Giving a languid glance at gathering fancy crowd
As every night
In the royal box, like the ghost from distance past
Her precious and indifferent face in a faded light

Like an ancient mask
Had blown his mind away with sudden blast
Forgotten pain of lust...

Under the autumn skies of Prague
Completely wet and drunk
On roof, concealed by rain and fog
Speaks tete-a-tete to God
"I begged for mercy every night
But you denied my call
You're deaf and selfish Antipath
Let Satan take my soul"

God has turned your back to me
Why can't you see?
I'm alone in this world
And this world is so cruel to me
Ah... broken fantasies
Torn in between
The embodied dreams and illusive reality

Boring Hell
Satan asked for an orchestra
Boring Hell...

3. Worms Of Souls

I saw two angels with the burning torches
Stand before me
Their flashing light was cutting through my eyes
They grabbed my dormant body into chariot of fire
Injected poison into vein
And struck with lightning through my heart

Won't you say your prayers, father?
For my flesh is dying
Watch my spirit is flying higher
While my heart is food for worms of soul

Worms of soul
Worms of soul

White maggots crawling through
The black necrotic frozen tissues
Devouring lifeless skin
Engulfed by flies
I fell the stench of death
But nurses say, "It's only visions."
I'm trapped within a dream
As someone else is playing with my mind

Yellow walls
Overdose
Out of mind and beyond
No control
Haloperidol
And the worms are gone

In professional terminology,
This case is referred to
So called "Somatic Delusions"
Where affected individual
Typically complains of infestation,
Deformity or ugliness of body parts...

Yellow walls
Overdose
Out of mind and beyond
No control
Haloperidol
And the worms are gone

Worms of soul
Worms of soul

4. They Came With Eyes Of Fire

I see the skies are torn like an old photograph apart
By serpentine of stars and red industrial lights
Insomnia is my only friend tonight
Come drown with me in this Bohemian wine
As attic walls are closing in
Room is full of smoke
No air to breathe
Dark Stygian sights
Enshroud me from behind

They came with eyes of fire
And burned my soul inside
All dreams and memories
Are gone like bitter smoke of white
They came with eyes of fire
Like needles through the spine
And left my hollow shell
To merge with cold celestial darkness

I see the world is crumbling under my feet like ice
Fall into abyss of inner emptiness

Three sleepless days and nights
Of writing all in vain
Through litany and pain
From strings to humans hearts

They will remember my name

From the darkest chimerical depths of imagination
Seven figures in black came to chant in unspeakable tongues

Genius' way mus be covered with suffering and bane
Everything starts when the nothingness ends

Three sleepless days and nights
Of writing all in vain
Through litany and pain
From strings to humans hearts
The Master heard your prayers
You're chosen for this role
He doesn't want your soul
It's lifeless anyway

They came with eyes of fire
And burned my soul inside
All dreams and memories
Are gone like bitter smoke of white
They came with eyes of fire
Like needles through the spine
And left my hollow shell
To merge with cold celestial darkness

They came with eyes of fire
And burned my soul inside
All dreams and memories
Are gone like bitter smoke of white
They came with eyes of fire
Like needles through the spine
And left my hollow shell
To merge with cold celestial darkness

I see the skies are torn like an old photograph apart
By serpentine of stars and red industrial lights
Insomnia is my only friend tonight
Come drown with me in this Bohemian wine
As attic walls are closing in
Room is full of smoke
No air to breathe
My beautiful swan
Your wings are in chains
We shall not dance again

5. Chronic Death

Out!
Never more!
Run like demon
Light!
Corridors are screaming
Air!
Smell of death
Flows along the wind
Can't escape the voices in my head are telling me to kill

The night when baton swings
Transfusing blood to suffering
Which is the key to genius reigns in me
The night a life will end abrupt by fat, the vengeful hand
Her final breath will heal
My chronic death

Crescendo pulse, heart is beating fast
The feet just found the path, led from above

Reliving humid suffocating grief of loss
Since you've been gone,
No single note I wrote
So let her go forever!

The night when baton swings
Transfusing blood to suffering
Which is the key to genius reigns in me
The night a life will end abrupt by fat, the vengeful hand
Her final breath will heal
My chronic death

The summer butterflies of past
Had burned away, turned into dust
Somatic hurricanes of lust
Abandoned empty bed

Poetic dreams
Within pathetic real
And nothing move to feel
But the heart is still going on and on and...

Diagnosis: chronic death
When your life is worse than dying
Kill to save your skin or kill yourself

Run away from paltry essence
To the worlds of scales and passages

There is harmony and no one
Stands behind your back
Chronic death

6. The Heart Of Coryphee

In the darkness, deadly silence
Years come to rust among these walls
There's a closet, full of moth
It's rotten and old, like all this world
Deep inside, in the secret drawer
Gathering dust for more than decade
Lays the present from beloved
Once corps-de-ballet, now coryphee

In the darkness, deadly silence
Years come to rust among these walls
There's a closet, full of moth
It's rotten and old, like all this world
Deep inside, in the secret drawer
Gathering dust for more than decade
Lays the present from beloved
Once corps-de-ballet, now coryphee

As evening dies in lantern lights
The ballet starts to come to life
All Prague's elite is here tonight
To feast upon the swan's demise

As sharp as dagger
The baton is ready for attack
Unleash the anger
Straight into the bottom of her heart

Without feelings
The only force that drives you- hate
White swan is bleeding
Her blood is your power to create

As sharp as dagger
The baton is ready for attack
Unleash the anger
Straight into the bottom of her heart

Do you remember how we used to be?
Waiting for the sunrise in the mist
I'm seeing it so clearly in my dreams
Before you left and took away this bliss
The voices told me that you have to die
So, see you someday on the other side
You will dance with angels tonight
While I supposed to run away and hide

As sharp as dagger
The baton is ready for attack
Unleash the anger
Straight into the bottom of her heart

7. A Dying Swan

[Instrumental]

8. Maestro

Suburban grey,
Pariah's lair
Cocktail of sorrow and despair
I'm drinking for you

Dark-leaden clouds, October rain
Which lasts forever like this pain
I'm thinking about you

Cruel mortal love I left behind
This fall is my eternal bride
For I am her groom

Tomorrow I'll forget your sight
With shiver waiting for that night
When I'm leaving you

Fire!
Embrace me with your flames
Give me all your warmth and strength
That drive me to create
Almighty fire!
Release me from this dream
Satan pulls my nerves like strings
In hellish symphony

I'm tired of being a clown, a barren shadow
Joker in the hand of diamonds
I'm fed up with you
Where yesterday's profane was scorned
Tomorrow's master takes his throne
I've seen it all through the eyes of...

[2x]
Fire!
Embrace me with your flames
Give me all your warmth and strength
That drive me to create
Almighty fire!
Release me from this dream
Satan pulls my nerves like strings
In hellish symphony

Fire!

9. Through The Broken Mirror

Take a look in the mirror
What did you expect to see there?
Piteous shadow or brave childhood's hero
Lonely aging comes from nowhere
Spirit fumes wake the ulcerous hunger
Dusty shelves are just like salt on the wound
Everything is dead, but the anger
Born to light from it's cancerous womb

No return to this life, it's too late
No regrets for this miserable fate
In this world of Materia, we are all slaves
Of mental decay
No more fear of the new coming day
No more care what the others will say
The reflection in fragments of mirror will show
The time of your play

You won't reach to the stars
Standing on crumbling chair
Envy cockroaches and mice
For no burden to bare
And the hunger prevails
Piercing the guts like a nail

Like a primordial beast
Chase the prey on the run
One inaccurate step
And you bleed on the ground

Disgraceful blunder
Has marked "eleven" on your forehead

"No return to this life, it's too late
No regrets for this miserable fate
In this world of Materia, we are all slaves
Of mental decay
No more fear of the new coming day
No more care what the others will say
The reflection in fragments of mirror will show
The time of your play..."

10. Cold

I am the wind, that howls in water spouts
And hides in tress
I am the swish of falling on the ground
Brown maple leaves
Like a restless child, who fears to walk alone
These somber streets
I'm back again to the place where I belong
But no one's there to answer my "Hello"
And nothing left, but a fierce October cold

Cold is the earth for the vermin
Cold is the earth for those, who are from below

One shot for courage, another for the road
The night is dark and cold, excitement overload
Shadows are growing in the Opera House hall
The time is running low, the time to start the show

As eleven times in row
Ancient clock rang on the wall
Five dozens, dressed as one
Has appeared like ghastly swarm
Take their seat and warm the hands
Grand orchestra of the dead
Chattering teeth, they cry for warmth
It's too cold for them on Earth
Light the candles and decor
Let them burn for evermore

Cold is the Earth for the vermin
Cold is the Earth for those, who are from below

11. Dancing In Flames

"That night in Prague was warm and loud
Old firefighters said with pride
Orchestra could not make a sound
Unless he burned it all around"

In the ashes, the orchestra still playing
To bid the farewell to the fallen soul
In the ashes, the trumpets blow fanfares
To celebrate the new Maestro's birth

Ashes in the sky
Adorned this grim October eve
Flames are raging high

As pillars are falling on their knees
Cinders cracking moan
In consonance with howling winds
Satan and his entourage
Just left this bloody feast

In the ashes, the orchestra still playing
To bid the farewell to the fallen soul
In the ashes, the trumpets blow fanfares
To celebrate the new Maestro's birth

Dancing in flames, we'll be together again
