1. Apocalyptic Views
darkness falls...from above upon the land...
as the fist of rage strikes the ground
and perishes all mortal life.
forgotten is humanity
by the survivors in the cold -
shadows of a joyful past -
alone now in a dying world.
forever damned to hear the screams of millions...
again and again.
now snow covers the burnt earth.
so cold...
the dead remain as a memorial
for those who wander through the ruins
of a forgotten civilization.
so cold...
ice is all they see...
ice, from horizon to horizon.
beneath a steel-grey sky.
so cold...
there exists no more hope for those
who belong to the wandering shadows
in the dark...
2. The Angel's Delusion
did you really believe that you could betray
the one that held your hand?
you lose your wings my little angel,
and now you are on your way down,
down where you belong.
beyond your conscience breeds the truth...
disastrous and dark.
now you'll burn in the eternal flames...
...do you really know
who you are?
remember the past,
remember your blasphemy -
by blood your contract was signed,
youth for soul,
knowledge for damnation.
now you are on your way down,
my little angel,
down where you belong.
to sit beside the father in the fire.
3. The Hand and the Sword
4. Immortal Reign
for me it's all the same-
to live or to dream.
far beyond the world of light
exists my realm -
desolate and cold...
far beyond all hope.
I cannot feel the heartbeat of time
here anymore.
blind eyes see the stars
shining bright here every night.
beyond them breeds another dream
that I'll never reach.
deep on the ground of the black sea
is buried what once was joy.
for me it's all the same...all the same...
emotionless I look above the land...
sitting on my icy throne
beneath a blackened sky.
crowned as undivine divine
in endless halls of loneliness.
immortal but not eternal is my reign -
without a spirit, without a soul.
within the glorious darkness of the mind.
I fall in a black hole without end.
I fall eternally
to somewhere far beyond.
5. The Machine's Dream
6. Corona of the Sun
I am the corona of the sun,
the ferocious wings of light
that burn your soul eternally.
Fear me for I am the last who'll stand
if mankind awaits its very end.
I am the corona of the sun,
the ferocious wings of death.
I send my rays to burn your skin
and what remains is death...
just death.
I am the corona of the sun,
the ferocious wings of fury.
if the universe collapses
and my journey takes its new route
I leave this pathetic mess of time
and you alone
in your ignorance.
I am the corona of the sun,
the ferocious wings of hate.
7. Transmitting...
8. With the Strength of Aeons
not made of flesh and bone
are the minions of eternity.
but deadly as the cold vast void itself.
as nightmares they come
and breed in our heads.
neither dead nor alive
not personified but always there
hunting our shadows,
playing with our fears.
unseen since the beginning of mankind,
not personified but always there
with the strength of aeons they ride
and chant, the demons of your mind.
they feed their hunger
they feed their greed
with fear, the demons of the deep abyss.
beyond the small line you call sanity
they wait eternally.
9. Tempus Fugit
