2. Enemy Within
[Music: Christopher Amott/Michael Amott]
[Lyrics: Angela Gossow]
Dark thoughts rise up
Deep in your mind
The killing of hope
The end has begun
The locked psycho-door breaks down
The beast breathes freedom and fire
Blows bloody thoughts into your mind
Demons whisper: "COMMIT SUICIDE!"
Weak is your body,
Helpless your soul,
The beast destroyed your will
Left nothing but an empty shell
Self-destruction leads its way
Your weapons turn against yourself
Cutting through, killing you
A downward spiral, the shadowbeast has won
The shadowbeast calls
A vulture of life
Your worst enemy dwells
From within
[1st Lead - Christopher]
[2nd Lead - Michael]
3. Silent Wars
This is killing us
Fighting the truth a losing battle
We believe in nothing
Just hatred for each other
Tragic sinister serenade
Twisted melody shatters reality
Dying hopes for a better day
Fragile dreams that break away
No more, no more
This pain must end
We have chosen to suffer
Believe in nothing but...
Hatred is a vicious circle
Betrayal is at hand
Paralysed souls bleeding
Begging for salvation
Deeper and deeper the wounds we cut
The truth burning our flesh
Silent war to set us free
Stigmata of a tragedy
No more, no more
This pain must end
We have chosen to suffer
Feeling nothing but hate
It's eating us up from the inside
Taking our feelings away
4. Burning Angel
[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott]
[Lyrics: Michael Amott]
Dark shadows from above
Ravens fly, obliterate the sun
"It's a sign of the devil.
He will come for his servant tonight"
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies
Am I to burn
I have not sinned!
Burnt at the stake.
Innocent blood that can never be wished clean
The flames of ignorance
Grow higher and higher
Licking my flesh - burning my soul
The raven laughing in the moon
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats.
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies again...
[1st Lead - Michael]
[2nd Lead - Christopher]
5. Dead Eyes See Ne Future
Giving our blood
To the doomsday machine
Fighting for ravaged land
A worthless gain
Marching on a dead end road
A violent new disorder
Feeding off mistrust
Forgot what we were fighting for
A worthless aim
A victory stinking of despair
Dead eyes
See no future
Falling from grace
We are coming home
Battalions of hate
Seeking shelter in hell
Bloodstained memories
Will we ever be forgiven
Our twisted fate
Time will tell
6. Dead Bury Their Dead
I leave the anguish behind
Scars are healing - I am set free
The chains of guilt are in the past
They no longer have a hold on me
Dead bury their dead
[Lead - Christopher]
I walk through Elysian Fields
The light is shining on me
Time marches on...
[1st Lead - Michael]
[Harmony Lead - Christopher and Michael]
[2nd Lead - Christopher]
7. Bury Me an Angel
Music: Michael Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott
Symbolical and mystical
Between life and death we're torn
A constant struggle
Like an apocrypha
Nobody can be certain
A thousand days, spent in hell
The ultimate sacrifice
Your voyage starts
With a question mark
But the distant future
Will not tell
Chorus:
Bury me an angel
Set my black soul free!!
Blackened chariots
Bearing evil souls
Ride the surface of burning holes
Nocturnal…traveller
You represent the ruined spirit
Symbolical and mystical
You shall be damned for all time
Lead – Michael
8. [drum solo]
9. Instinct
The more I see - the less I believe
The more I hear - the less I care
This world we've created, has left me cold
This world is sedated, dying in it's sleep
I feel nothing
Seen it written on a thousand faces
The simple truth we fear
Seen it happen in a thousand places
Instinct brought us here
The more I see - the less I believe
The more I hear - the less I care
We used to be the chosen ones
Second to none
Look at what we've become
A pathetic excuse for living
I feel nothing
I can feel nothing
Nothing at all
Except for the pain
That hits me again
10. Savage Messiah
[Music: Michael Amott/Sharlee D'Angelo/Christopher Amott]
[Lyrics: Michael Amott]
Meet your maker
Rising from the ashes
Like a phoenix to the sky
So intense, so glorious...
Uncontrollable desire
For our souls
The great lawgiver
So high and mighty
The immaculate deception
A taker of life
With unbridled aggression
Striking down on the disbelievers
Savage - Messiah
Take us higher
Savage - Messiah
Take us now!
Blessed in blood
We are reborn in hate
Thousands of spirits cry
So intense, so glorious...
Uncontrollable desire
For our souls
The great Messiah
So high and mighty
11. The First Deadly Sin
[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott]
[Lyrics: Angela Gossow/Michael Amott]
Step inside the circle of fire
Flames of desire enlighten the night
Follow your instinct
Burn and writhe in ecstasy
Love will turn to hate
Heat will turn to ice
There is nothing in between
The first deadly sin
Ancient taboo takes control
The demon eve possesses your soul
Riding high above the flames
You will step into hell
[Lead and slide solo - Christopher]
Dwell in passionate evil
Forbidden fruits of lust
Embrace and kiss the face of death
It's your first deadly sin
12. The Immortal
Music: Christopher Amott/Michael Amott
Lyrics: Johan Liiva/Michael Amott
This liquid vision of euphoria
Living a life on borrowed time
Paying the price of immortality
Desperately avoiding our fate
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn…human dignity dethroned
Forevermore – A life never ending
Time stands still as the immortals keep on breeding
Chorus:
The future is locked within us
All we need is the key
Crying at the fountain of youth
Eternal life is killing me
(Lead melody – Christopher)
Triumphant in chariots they ride
On this arena of the undead
Another lap of honour for the…
Vacant galleries
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn…human dignity dethroned
Forevermore – A life never ending
Time stands still as the immortals keep on breeding
1st Lead – Christopher
2nd Lead - Michael
13. Bridge of Destiny
Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott
Standing at the bridge of destiny
So long since I tasted fear
Lurking in the darkest holes
Awaiting my minds weakest moment
Old words from an old world
Against the laws of the nature
They say the truth is overrated
Wall of anger corrupts my thought
Chorus:
Standing at the bridge of destiny
Show me a sign…
On the verge of losing my sanity
Free my soul…
My inner demons torture me
Flapping their wings in my face
Damn you! You twisted illusion
I am no longer afraid
See through their liquid souls
Evil eyes that will hypnotise
You can no longer hurt me
I am my own worst enemy
Lead - Christopher
Unleash the trapped souls of the dead
Spirits since long forgotten
Guardians of the lost faith
Destined for glory?
Watch them all turn into sand
And the wind blow them away
Wisdom pours into my soul …endlessly…
Bass solo – Martin
Lead – Michael
Harmony lead – Michael & Christopher

2nd lead – Christopher
14. We Will Rise
Tear down the walls
Wake up the world
Ignorance is not bliss
So fed up with second best
Our time is here and now
I am the enemy
I am the antidote
Watch me closely
I will stand up - now
We will rise
Rise above
Stereotype Fools
Playing the game
Nothing unique
They all look the same
In this sea of mediocrity
I can be anything
Anything I want to be
We will rise
15. Heart of Darkness
[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott]
[Lyrics: Michael Amott]
You can't kill me. I am living inside you.
I am a part of your existence
Twisted thoughts in a twisted mind
Provoking you
Black is my heart - dark is my soul
My hatred I can not control
Evil seed growing stronger
Your freewill... Dying!
Inside you - heart of darkness
A part of you - heart of darkness
To deny me, is to deny yourself.
The illusion is dissolved
You are no longer in control
The facade crumbles - the transition is complete
...The transition is complete
I come to you in the night
I am your dark subconscience
I keep you awake, knowing
I am the heart of darkness
[1st Lead - Michael]
[2nd Lead - Christopher]
16. Snow Bound
17. Ravenous
[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott]
[Lyrics: Angela Gossow/Michael Amott]
I am hunting for your soul
It dwells within your heart
I lacerate the pounding flesh
Your spirits shall be mine
[Harmony - Michael and Christopher]
So rise my spirit rise!
Revel in this dead mans' body
Grip his soul, sip the blood
Life is death
A holy carnage
[Lead - Christopher]
Ravenous
I will be your god
Carnivorous Jesus
I need your flesh
Ritual slaughter
Fill up the chalice
With the essence of your life
Liquid strengths
Trapped in your veins
I crave your blood
You must die!
[1st Lead - Michael]
[2nd Lead - Christopher]
18. Fields of Desolation / Outro
Fields Of Desolation
[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott]
[Lyrics: Johan Liiva]
On the fields of desolation
We are all alone
Crying in each others arms
In fear of the unknown
Feelings of uncertainty
We are all doomed
To live in solitude
And never ending gloom
On the fields of desolation
Eternal life or termination
Why don't you cover me
I need your sanctuary
This sea I'm drowning in
Might be where the end begins
In times of grief and sadness
We're searching for the light
Seek for a place of safety
Seek for a place to hide
God turned his back on man
In divine resignation
Torn between two believes
Eternal life or termination?
As we drown in darkness
Weak and depraved
On our final journey
Too late to be saved
We've gone through places
Where the cold wind blows
Is this the end of it all
I don't know, I don't know
19. Live in Manchester, England - Academy 2, December 13th, 2005: Nemesis
We walk this earth
With fire on our hands
Eye for an eye
We are nemesis
We are with you
countless vicious souls
Fight! - Fighting for freedom
United we stand
We are legion
Voice of anarchy
This is revolution
Creating new disorder
We are enemy
Opponent of the system
Crushing hypocrisy
Slaying the philistine
One for all - all for one
we are strong - we are one
Nemesis
A malicious fever burns
In our hearts in our veins
Your blood my blood
All blood runs the same
20. My Apocalypse
Sudden implosion of silenced emotions
Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long
Delusions of hope fading away
Dying like leaves on frozen soil
My apocalypse is near
I can feel the end... Coming here
Neglecting existence repulse and repent
An endless journey into the morbid
Whispering voices distorting all senses
Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long
My apocalypse is near
I can feel the end... coming here
The bitter taste of a dying dream
Shine the light on our shadows and illusions
21. Skeleton Dance
On a journey ill
My mind floats astray
Over withered fields
I cross the river
This shortness of breath
Between birth and grave
Fading in the distance
I am nothing
Watch the skeleton dance
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
Here I am alone
Casting my own shadows
Traversing the mundane
Desperate cry
Boundless darkness
A voiceless fear
Unheard unseen
It is coming near
Watch the skeleton dance
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
Watch the skeleton dance
Here I am - alone...
Had I not known
That I was dead
I would have mourned
My loss of life
Loss of life...
Between birth and grave
Here I am alone
