Bloodmorning
04:54
|
|||
|
„To your arms!“
In the early hours
When the mist begins to clear
On the horizon their ships appear
But we were warned
Now we grab our arms
And gather silently
As we mount our horses
And line up behind the cliffs
We hold our weapons tight
When all of them have left their ships
And still feel unrevealed
Our horns sound for
„Attack!“
We feel no fear inside
If one of us should fall
The others´ strength will grow
We fight until we die
Bloodmorning – the rage is on – bloodmorning
Bloodmorning – the rage is on – bloodmorning
Bloodmorning – the rage is on
The screams from thousand lungs
Fill the morning air
When our brutal charge begins
Like the winter´s flood
We break against their lines
We will leave no one alive
Our spears they pierce the sky
Cut through skulls and bones
With a sinister sound
Our swords sever their throats
We´ll clean our blades at noon
On a bloodred shore we will
Celebrate our victory
Bloodmorning – the rage is on – bloodmorning
Bloodmorning – the rage is on – bloodmorning
„You die!“

Serpents Amongst Us
03:33
|
|||
|
With empty hearts
And blurred sights
Most of us more crawl
Than upright walk
Always searching, always longing
Only for profit not completion
The disruptive venom
Within our blood
Words full of lies
And serpents' eyes
That hypnotize
Adulating our weak minds
With devotion we embrace
The serpents amongst us
Until all illusions
Will vanish like smoke
Set the rules on your own
And you won't remain
As easy prey
Under control
Words full of lies
And serpents' eyes
That hypnotize
Adulating our weak minds

Smothered
03:54
|
|||
|
Behold!
I had to stop and to behold myself
What cut back on me? What took my breath?
How can I leave these caving walls smothering me?
Smothered – I am no more
Smothered – I am no more
Believe!
I had to believe that mirrored pale face
Staring back is alive
And that I´m still strong inside
Smothered – I am no more
Smothered – I am no more
I was told, I am wrong, but I am not!
I see clear, I feel strong, I never will back down!
Become!
More confident and clear I have become
Shattered the poisoning, let go false pride,
Welcomed my true self and now I feel reborn
Smothered – I am no more
Smothered – I am no more

Through Thy Shadows
04:38
|
|||
|
Insidiously your world has changed
And you built your fences high
Obscured within thy shadows
Consumed by doubts and fear
Go – through thy shadows
Cut – through thy shadows
See – through thy shadows
Walk – through thy shadows
You think the story´s over now
But it is not! Defy!
You´re feeling numb and helpless
And so many want to see you fall
But don´t drown yourself in sorrow
Just rely on who you really are
Now cross this threshold
It´s time to cast those shadows aside
Your confidence will be your shield
Protecting you
Your courage will be your sword
To help you fight
Your way out
Through thy shadows
Go – through thy shadows
Cut – through thy shadows
See – through thy shadows
Walk – through thy shadows

Ageless I'm Reborn
04:39
|
|||
|
I am the father of all your ancient gods
Awakened from aeonic sleep
I now rise again
Your world I will devour
As ageless, I´m reborn
I am the storm
I am the plague
I am the chaos
I am the creator
I am the destroyer
I am the unholy one
Your armies will be crushed
All your temples they will burn
Only pain and laments remain
Ancient prophecies fulfilled
No chains can bind me
No spell can ban me
I claim this world my own
My reign will last forever
I despise your gods and your martyrs too
For they kneel before my throne
See, the new world order´s here
I am the creator
I am the destroyer
I am the beginning
I am the end

He can deceive, he can betray
He can show you all you want to see
He can bring eternal relief
He can take away all suffering
Your days have all turned into grey
You feel alone
Not praying for forgiveness
But strength
Perpetual sadness
Always feeling your voice unheard
You're caught in this constriction
Of rules and harm
Welcoming the final hour
Of the final day
When you finally have
Abandoned this life
You beg him to leave his ivory throne
You beg him to take you into his arms
Falling – into the arms of Morpheus
Falling
Falling – into the arms of Morpheus
Falling

The Lion And The Eagle
05:28
|
|||
|
Long ago in a kingdom faraway
Two sons of noble blood were born
One of them should become king one day
Already within the womb they were yearning to dominate
The legend tells
They came to life at the same time
Each of them fighting to be first
They took their mother´s life
Impossible to define the firstborn one
Their father tried to raise and educate them equally
Ignoring their father´s love they grew up in pure discord
The lion and the eagle so they were called
The one, like a lion
Strong, relentless, unrestrained
The other, like an eagle
Mighty, focussed, persevering
More enemies than brothers
More distinct than alike
Their father kept them under control
But when he suddenly died
Their struggle for the crown became worse
They gathered their armies outside the palace walls
No time wasted with grief about their father´s death
That epic battle lasted for two days and nights
The lion and the eagle were the last to fight
On the morning of day three
The battle fell silent
The brothers were found dead
Laying side by side
Riven in life
United in death
They left their kingdom to be doomed
Their legacy to fade away

Once
04:58
|
|||
|
Devastated, with swollen eyes I stand
Staring into the endless void
Lost all sense of space and time
This strike of fate, a mortal tragedy
You were the one who always walked ahead
You´re now gone and we all will follow
What once has been, once will be again
What once has been, once again will be
There are no more tears to cry
As they are all already drained away
But at least I feel certain that
Whenever, wherever we will meet again
What once has been, once will be again
What once has been, once again will be

At Night They Feast
04:03
|
|||
|
After the war mankind degenerates
A virus out of control decimates
Like demons banned from the light
They lie in wait
In absolute darkness they dwell
Ghastly and pale
Harassed by hunger
For human flesh
In the dark we have to beware because
At night they feast
Tracing the warmth of our blood
Within our veins
They can sense our fear in the night
Their hunt begins
Hiding together
Worst nightmares unfold
Longingly awaiting the dawn,
The day to come
When will this horror end?
Will we survive?
A glimmer of hope remains though
At night they feast
