1. Bone Splitter
And then the night comes ripping
To whisk my tattered soul away
Blind dreams of opium
Coerse the shadows in dismay
Spend a night in Babylon
And cast your soul into the night
Stare down the hole of all your dreams
And see it with a second sight
Eyes turn away, as we walk these halls alone
Fade into grey, and the moonlight splits our bones
A horde of strangled souls
Shackled by a cold belief
Overflowing with emptiness
Entangled in a veil of grief
We are but silhouettes
Cast on the surface of the soul
Forever laid to rest
Buried in a different kind of hole
2. Amber Messiah
I hold my god inside my hand
His soul encased in glass
His only wish is my command
To drink him hard and fast
He feeds the mouths of all my dreams
And drenches them with fear
His demons race inside my screams
His devils fuel my tears
I've traded the chance to fly
For a lifetime on my knees
All hail my god in a bottle
An over the counter disease
Worship the amber messiah
His nectar is all that I need
For every time I've turned away
From his unyeilding grip
He Fuels the urge when I crawl back
To beg for one more sip
He feeds the mouths of all my dreams
And drenches all my fears
His demons race inside my screams
His devils fuel my tears
I've traded the chance to fly
For a lifetime on my knees
All hail my god in a bottle
An over the counter disease
Worship the amber messiah
His nectar is all that I need
3. T.H.C.
affairs of the flesh and secrets untold
may paint you a portrait so ugly and cold
but just like the fire that burns in our souls
we cannot resist all the power it holds
we all have our candles that we burn in the night
they haunt every aching step on the paths of our lives
like a raven in the night
we rule a kingdom draped in black
hunting with a second sight
we know that theres no turning back
cover your ears when two hearts collide
unlock the beast that claws you inside
pale are the angels in which we confide
cold are the shadows in which we reside
4. Frozen Shadows
And as the night calls out my name
Like a lonely unforgiven ghost
Memories return like a seething curse
Of a godforsaken past
Spit out the hate to burn the ones
Who brought me to my knees
Feed on their fears and weaknesses
To soothe sweet misery
I reside in frozen shadows
Deliver me from the light
And as the night awakens me
With its icy cold caress
I feel the dust fall from my eyes
In fucking bitterness
In a time of burning souls
And temples gathered by thieves
The wise man slits his withered flesh
To find what he believes
I reside in frozen shadows
Deliver me from the light
5. Bleeding in the Dust
I can't remember, I can't forget
That bleak December when we met
I was a young man, drunk and dreaming
Burning the bones of my regrets
This fear
So dear
My darkest fears have tracked me down
Flanked with steel and poisoned hearts
They've come to take my soul away
And leave me bleeding in the dust
Our sands of time, have turned to rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Your cold seducton assumes control
And locks its jaws around my soul
This fear
So dear
My darkest fears have tracked me down
Flanked with steel and poisoned smiles
They've come to take my soul away
And leave me bleeding in the dust
My darkest fears have tracked me down
Flanked with steel and poisoned smiles
They've come to take my soul away
And leave me bleeding in the dust
6. Perdition
I can't recall a time when sanity
Wrapped her arms around my soul
This mask of flesh cannot conceal
The fear that makes my blood run cold
I lie awake at night and watch my shattered dreams
Cascade hopelessly away
A daily souvenier of all the things
That fill this life with sorrow and dismay
Perdition (x 4)
How long can this go on
The vultures feast on what remains
Of my pathetic shell
Welcome to my perdition!
My private hole deep in the empty pits of hell
My sins have all returned
They hearken me to the shadows
From whence they came
The time has come for me
To face the cold embrace of all my shame
Perdition (x 4)
7. Empty Pleasures
Tell me now your cold confession
A blade to lance the heart of time
Bittersweet ageold regression
How soon we forget our cursed lies
There is nothing left of me
Blinded by the rest of me
Burn your thoughts to kill the past
Empty pleasures never last
Fill the night with haunted screams
Beckoning within my dreams
'Cause empty pleasures never last
Empty pleasures never last
Weeping now in blind confusion
Mourn the soul of one who knows
Turn away in pale delusion
A lullaby for frozen souls
8. Dawn of Osiris
Behold the creator of all that you know
The giver and taker of life
Your needs are none, I'll lead you to death
My wrath like a scorpions strike
Entombed in a temple that faces the west
A landscape of sunlight and sands
Your meager soul, a seed in the wind
For me to crush in my ancient hands
Osiris!
Empire - the valley of the kings
Empire - your life belongs to me
I am the fire that burns in the night
I harness the moon and the sun
Fall to your knees and you'll realize
That I'm the omnipotent one
You'll soon be gagged and raped by my lies
And made to surrender your soul
The truth unveils before my minds eye
And grants me infinite control
Osiris!
Empire - the valley of the kings
Empire - your life belongs to me
Through the eye of Horus, my destiny revealed
To reign in immortality, in the valley of the desert sun
