Darksign 02:21
Undead nightmares The burning symbol engraved on the chest Cursed by the lord of light Hallowed be thy name Ageless immortals Wandering the lands to find a reason to stay sane They are all chosen to lead this world into the age of man Brothers and sisters Descendants of the dark soul Your prayers have been answered The age of man is upon us The bells are ringing and the snake will erect (x3) Will we link the flame to continue this sacred age of light Or smother it and begin the age of darkness Darksign Oh dark fucking sign

The main components cannot be replaced Only a fool could be so arrogant to try to mimic the power of the flame And yet we stand here, hands tangled and embrace our fate Chaos has conquered the streets Cling to all lifeforms, injecting its seeds Banished to the underground where we'll never can be found Punishment for our blasphemous deeds Doomed creations A parody of life itself Unnatural transformation A fusion with the bursting flame Doomed to burn alive in the fires of a hell we brought to existence The age of dark is upon us All hope is lost in the fire Exiled from light Demonic spawns beneath a sea of seething blight Against all odds worshipped as gods The boiling blood is still running through our veins Every bit of sanity was sacrificed until nothing remained Bedded in chaos Resting for aeons Madness reigns where fire bred the wretched ones Where dreams have died when embers filled up empty lungs Writhing roots with bodies entwined Slumbering guardians with chaos on their mind The cursed undead came to defile our realm Envious of my soul Writhing roots with bodies entwined Slumbering guardians with chaos on their mind Exiled from light Demonic spawns beneath a sea of seething blight Against all odds worshipped as gods The boiling blood is still running through our veins Every bit of sanity was sacrificed until nothing remained Bedded in chaos Resting for...

I'm sent to slaughter man like swine Devoid of any feelings I have to bleed them dry Dead bodies hanging from the ceiling Bottom-feeding squirming burden to society Cancer rooted deep inside the hateful bowels of man Release me from this fucking empty shell To feel free - to breathe the void Breathe nothingness The salvation they are desprately seeking does not exist I am I am the end I'm sent I'm sent to slaughter man like swine Devoid of any feelings I have to bleed them dry Dead bodies hanging from the ceiling Devoid of any feelings I slaughter man like swine And hang them from the fucking ceilings to bleed them dry You have no idea how relieved the world will be when I finally weed out these worthless creatures I feel no remorse for scum I have no remorse for them (x2) Fucking squirming scum Bow down to pay respect God complex (x2) Bow down God complex

Barren and lost in this deserted place Falling further into the nothingness Haunted by the ghosts of my past Succumb by the guilt and hatred that follows me Why should I continue moving forward When I always end up just falling back Creatures of habit - never change Why can't I escape this vicious cycle (x2) Blinding brilliance What is this? That shines through all my horrors It's radiance, magnificent It's light, so divine Turning hollow What am I? Just another fool they wrote off I will break the cycle I will never look back Finding solace in this desolated land It shines so brightly There's so much that I can learn to be better, to be own sun Soothing sunlight From the heavens it beckons to me The gift of light will guide the way How can I be so grossly incandescent To find my own way To be my own sun (x2) Cleansed by the radiant light Free from the shackles of my keepers I will live by the sun Desperate I've been deprived of a life once righteous Bound to oblivion Incandescent A newfound purpose is beckoning with a holy light Reminiscent Of every trial and tribulation that I've survived Misery consuming I must recover every remnant of my spirit lost Withering soul begging for return Onward Soothing sunlight From the heavens it beckons to me The gift of light will guide the way How can I be so grossly incandescent To find my own way To be my own sun (x2) Praise the sun

At the dawn of a new found age Next to fires guiding the way Before kingdoms rose from the dark And the undead were cursed with the mark Lower beings were gifted a soul To challenge gods, the ones in control And with every single death Fades this age to nothingness This is a call to arms The stars aligned The enemy's betrayed by their own kind Mindless hordes shrouded by fog Eaten away by the lightning shock And with their weak points exposed They are bought to their knees Erased from this earth by a miasma Ov death and disease (x2) Killing blow (x2) See the angels fall from the sky See them dropping like flies Have you seen the angels? Falling from the sky Have you see them dropping? Dropping just like flies! (x2) The ancient had to die to make new room in hell There are demons in line to put the world under their spell A kingdom build on power Such frail a construct And in their final hour everyone's surprised That they are fucked What did you thought would happen? What made you sure that you are not like them? What will you do when death knocks? Death knocks Don't open the door Death knocks Roll down on the floor Death knocks Hold tight to existence The fire in the distance burns down all resistance At the dawn of a new found age Next to fires guiding the way Before kingdoms rose from the dark And the undead were cursed with the mark

I can feel me fade Every minutes counting There's no time to waste My body is dissolving I'm rejecting death No peace inside of me emotions so raw To corrupt humanity Father (x2) What have you done to us? We dreamed to see a better day But now we squirm in pain eternally The enemy of man and every living thing that has a soul The most human of all A twisted lie to reach my goal I reach though time and space To still my lust for something I can not obtain in Oolacile In Oolacile I prey upon her She will succumb to primeval nature "The heart will find a way", they say to ease the pain She won't be mine Until my primeval nature is pulling her into the abyss The princess fled the castle to give herself away A hero comes to rescue with only me in his way You won't take her from me The abyss is unstoppable Designed to dominate Pinned down to the ground A knights' pride began to wither (x2) Your legend is a lie Nothing but a fucking imposter Traverse the dark? A fairy tale too absurd to believe Fuck I prey upon him He will succumb to primeval nature "The heart will find a way", they say to ease the pain He won't be mine Until my primeval nature is pulling him into the abyss

Hopelessness 03:17
Eternal justification Why can't I just give up and perish like I should have long ago Life pass me by Slave to indulgence Lost in gluttony Will is not enough to make less a monster of me Ghosts of the past yearn for complete control They speak to me Thoughts beyond the bounds of the ordinary flourish They speak through me (x2) I despise these mirrored eyes Watching me Speaking in tongues White noise in my ear Cutting myself open is all I have to fear When I'm down, I get high Feeling numb until the day I die A glimmer of bliss for a broken man unnecessarily expands his lifespan Hopeless dreamer Dream on About a life under the sun The warmth on my skin has the power To exorcise the ghosts of the past But I grew fond of these memories Excorise the Ghosts of the past yearn for complete control They speak to me Thoughts beyond the bounds of the ordinary flourish They speak through me (x2)

Frozen between the mountain tops A secret kept hidden in pandoras box The end is nigh This rotten world will fall apart Oh god, bless us with thy gracious art A tainted birth enrages the king He must be terrified of the life hunt sin But now it is my turn to serve my kingdom right To earn to be his knight My lord, my sun, the deed is done (x2) But I swore to none that the prison that I built couldn't be a sanctuary For lost souls Frozen between the mountain tops A secret kept hidden in pandoras box The end is nigh This rotten world will fall apart Oh god, bless us with thy gracious art My child take my hand I will bring you to a place far away from this land So clutch the doll Escape to where time takes no toll and tears freeze mid-air (x2) Frozen between the mountain tops A secret kept hidden in pandoras box The end is nigh This rotten world will fall apart Oh god, bless us with thy gracious art This is not the place were you belong And this is not the place where you have to die I beg you to go without strife But if it's death you seek I will grant it to you Leave and let us be (x6)

I Who waged war against the dragons Who will lead us into the light Even a fraction of my brilliance is enough to banish the night With fire at it's peak Strong men grow slowly weak Those who stood close by my side will be rewarded But those who oppose my ideals should feel my wrath I can feel their eyes silently observing me New alliances are testing the kings courtesy I am generous and I am humble I know exactly who will stab me when I stumble Everyone wants me dead (x3) But there's nothing they can do When even death bows to me Never again will they question my power The demons are gone - In darkness they cower A kingdom to come - A kingdom to last This is my chance to make up for the past I twist and turn the tides I am so close to becoming a god The white son of light Hailed be my name until the fire will fade Nothing, nothing is sacred All of my work comes to fruitation  This is our age to shine To abandon the dark and be the divine I twist and turn the tides I am so close to becoming a god The white son of light Hailed be my name until the fire will fade Rage against the dying of the light (x2) My legend, a burden The things I've done still haunt me My daughters, I've sold them Caged the undead and swallowed the key Never again will they question my power The demons are gone - In darkness they cower A kingdom to come - A kingdom to last This is my chance to make up for the past I twist and turn the tides I am so close to becoming a god The white son of light Hailed be my name until the fire will fade Nothing, nothing is sacred All of my work comes to fruitation  This is our age to shine To abandon the dark and be the divine I twist and turn the tides I am so close to becoming a god The white son of light Hailed be my name until the fire Will fade
