1. Weird Visions
2. King of Pain
Land of demons or land of beasts
This place is nothing but a vast furnace
Wild with victories and bloody feasts
You stand alone in your madness
Stop always shedding the enemy’s blood
Forget those people dragged your name
In the mud
Hands are held out in the silence
All these corpses lying at your feet
Your eyes sparkle with intolerance
Of a glory gained by some feat
Stop always shedding the enemy’s blood
Forget those people dragged your name
In the mud
Stop always shedding the enemy’s blood
Forget they all prayed for the flood
Why sowing death, why using chains
Your very pride destroyed a whole country
Noone shall question your actions
Hell swallowed them up for eternity
3. Lost Generation
Fright is familiar and death too common
Bullets are shot through drunken bodies
The war has awakened the good old demon
The short-timers became creepy-crawlies
The great war has proved thirsty and hungry
The profiteers were after their money
The backliners wouldn’t stop the production
Of the weapons of the lost generation
Though they went on the path to glory
The short-timers ended up in the trenches
And there sure was no room for mercy
So many corpses but so few inches
Nothing new on the Western front
They swore it should be the last blow
Suddenly the earth stopped to grunt
There sure will be no jam tomorrow
The backlines wouldn’t stop the production
Of the weapons of the last generation
4. Sacrifice in the Ice
Who are those men
Wearing a mask and dressed in white
I’m chained up in the twilight
No memories
But where the hell’s my past gone
Yeah, what’s going on
Visions
Nightmare
I want sincerity
Anguish
Madness
Dream or reality
No more joy
No more pleasures
No more desires
I just can’t break the ice
In this room
The walls are cold and lifeless
They sure will be merciless
I’m being touched
Being watched in that prison
I’m praying for my reason
My body’s tense
With pain and steel
And my wounds won’t heal
I got no more blood
My heart beats like an engine
I’m like a machine
5. Mystical Warfare
6. Fortunetelling
Telling the future for eternity
Now the evil is prowling
I make omens become reality
You'll be laughing or suffering
Like a stranger staring into the distance
You refuse to trust me
In your eyes I can see impatience
So just let it be
Chorus :
Believe
Time holds no secret for me
Believe
Fortunetelling
The truth has been told and the dice cast
By death we might be attacked
All the prayer shall never make last
The moment of the final act
7. Behind the Mirror
I feel I’m reaching a crisis
A prisoner and a slave of lust
Drinking evil out of a chalice
A voice keeps telling me I must
They can’t see my awful face
So I’m discovering a new pleasure
That of a sin wrapped in lace
Which bans any leisure
A place of relief for lovers
Whom I wathc through the mirror
Tasting orgy and all sorts of fevers
They all will be mine forever
Behind the mirror – I’m slave to fantasy
Behind the mirror – Everything seems so easy
8. Sign of the Time
On sole faraway Scottish road
Strangeness is hanging over
An old coach man drives his load
Under threatening thunder
His passenger’s noone but the baron
With a mysterious past
His name is famous across the region
He will be the last
Noone’s ever laid him to
Rest for eternity
Sign of the time
Return and forgiveness
Sign of the time
Too many facts, too many lies
His castle’s become the prison
Of wonderfus creatures
He honours them beyond reason
Regardless of these tortures
Cause this new worlds isn’t that brave
The man holds them responsible
For violating his own grave
And Thus showing their mettle
On some faraway Scottish road
Strangeness is hanging over
Down in the plains where he once abode
This rage is growing stronger
9. Trouble
10. Invasion
Beyond the sky and in the outer space
A galaxy is dying from an alien pain
Fleshy beings with strange and ugly faces
Have decided to invade our world of gain
Their shuttles seem to come out
Of some bad dream
And our cities are destroyed
By a huge laser beam
Spitting fire on life and on the whole planet
They’ve come from nowhere
To devour us bit by bit
They’re running wild in the streets to escape
From a curse that’s gonna shape our fate
March against invasion
The earth is imperiled
Fight against invasion
D’day has arrived
11. Kill the King
Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king, yeah
Strike him down
Power, power it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
And fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Treason, treason, the spectre looms again
Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then
Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king, yeah
Got to take his crown
Crown
Kill the king
He'll rule no more
Strike him dead
The people roar
Kill the king, yeah
Take his head
Down, down, down, down
Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh
