1. Back From The Dead
Welcome to my funeral my family and my friends
I hope you’ve enjoyed the living me because
The dead one never ends
Your tears of joy are hid by tears of regret
You’ll remember my parting ways as the first time we
really met
You count me out You’d better have your doubts Don’t
let my death go to your head because I’m BACK FROM
THE DEAD!
I’ve always been a loser and settled for second best
Nov I’ve got another chance and I won’t fail again I
crash through the window at the will reading party’s
host What’s the matter dear family? You look like
you’ve seen a ghost!
No time to run
No ‘till I’ve had my fun
This one time you won’t forget that I’m
BACK FROM THE DEAD
Laugh at me – you’ll regret
There’s no stopping – THE LIVING DEAD!
2. The Elder Race
Look through the mystic door at the hidden depths
Which all men share
Long and hard was the war when man usurped the
earth
Last to fall the serpent men, driven into the waste
and left to die
They returned as priests of their evil cult in human
guise
Back to the palace, puts his trust in a man he does
not know
Can’t believe the things he does know
His very chamber underlined with hidden halls
There is no idea what this night will befall
From the wars of old
Etched on all men’s souls
Etched words only man can speak
Mystic runes, they must keep alive
Into bed, and feign deep sleep
Tu-the counselor-knife bared creeps
Traitor slayed his face doth change
There leers in its stead a vile serpent’s head
Can’t you see they’re coming back to rule the
world again
Plot revenge through teir evil cult – the serpent
men
He looks out and wonders, which are men and
which are not
He speaks the eldrich words, which he was taught
They rush the dias, victory finds defeat
Burst through the throne room, someone in his seat
Blades unsheathed, totem’s face
Which will win – tiger or snake?
Fight ensues, traitor slayed
To purge the earth, the promise is made
3. Bitterness And Hatred
You destroy all that we create
Your lives are filled with prejudice and hate
Search for tomorrow but there’s only yesterday
Time and time again
Fight to release years of anger buried so long ago
Uncovered by your lies – which I despise
Take those hearts and squeeze them tighter – suffocate a
life Controlled by your hand – be ever so damned
Innocent – is the shame the young will follow – the old’s
to blame
You’d sell your soul for a dollar You’d kill a human for a
color You’re laughing yet you’re hiding in your institution
What worth is fighting when there’s no solution
For all time … conscious crime
Freedom’s son … forgotten
You’ve loving and you’re hating you’re a contradiction It’s a
Holy crusade, but you have no religion They’re not like you
so you plead high treason You’re living in hatred with no
reason
Bitterness and hatred to you and your kind Living for hate,
you’re not perfect; tell me the reason why You’re living out
a lie BITTERNESS HATRED TO YOU AND YOUR KIND
4. Black Edifice
On the hill the dark house looms, softly calling me drawing
me ever nearer, something for me to see? Lurid voices call
me, cannot resist and fight Walk the wide staircase, day
turns into night The locked door opens, like magic, as if by
my touch The darkness greets me as if it were always
such the book is opened my name appears I know I am
welcome here
Up the stairs and to my room, my things have all been
placed Courtesy of destiny, arrangements made by fate
Into the ballroom the partisans dance Waltz induced by
death’s romance
The music stops the dancers turn
Join death’s dance I will learn
The mirror casts no reflections, glass stares back at me
Fool of dark deception, a laugh blows through the trees
Death for entertainment can’t you see
The fates have all been laughing at me
The masks have all been lifted, the charade’s at its end
Along with the others I realize now that I’m dead
5. Divine In Agony
Chaos prevails, living in a dying hell,
but you can’t change
It’s just a world we live in
Rise above the rest, if you want to be my guest,
But the odds are on that you won’t make it
Torments as far as the eye can see
Looters sifting through the debris
The son of Cain turns in his grave
I feel I’ve reached doom at last
Shades f deception, cast your fate on me
Power of rejection, never leave me be
Corruption rules/At my will
Ancestors/of this demon in me
They call to me demanding uncivility
It broke my will, it laid my dreams to waste
Destroy or adore me/Love or abhor me
Hated ecstasy/This joyous agony
Ambiance of mourners, know that it’s the end
Decadence only goes so far, the other is blown away
Final time/alone in shades
Where are my friends/they said they’ll be here ‘till the end
My pleas fall on silenced ears
The dark is coming the sun won’t rise again
Recede to nothing/I can’t let that happen
You’re the one who can be/devoured by agony
6. Hear My Screams
A sickness in my body, disease within my brain
Psychic trauma – emotional madness, my mind’s filled
with fear and pain
Enter my subconscious, memories not my own
Realities but a dream, that won’t leave me alone
Blackness fills my empty void
Things not what they seem
Suicide reigns as tyrant
Darkness rules supreme
Watch in fear as I take control of you
Panic stricken – overridden, won’t know what to do
Can not mend a broken heart past the point of madness
Tears you wear as you sleep only bring you sadness
Leave me be I’ll tell you now
Quit screaming in my ear
When darkness comes to you
I’m the only one who’ll hear you scream
Scream – fighting for your life
There is no insight
Darkness rules supreme
No one hears you scream
My dear dead brain cries out to those of you who’ve had
No one to stand beside you when you’re going mad
7. Sealed In Blood
Lurking in shadows
As one with the mist
I’m waiting for you fair lady
To give you my bloody kiss
Run and hide
Time to die
Age old love
Sealed in blood
Put up your wall of crosses
Take refuge in benevolence
My hounds of Hell will dispel
All attempts at defense
Come to me
Sweet child
Feel my touch
Taste my blood
Running and hiding through London’s streets
On your neck I’ll feed
Running fast, but I’m always behind you
Tonight you’ll bleed for me
The look in my eyes
Will be last for your willful soul
You raise the stakes but I cannot strike
As my aura takes control
Be my bride
Be my side
Fates entwined
SEALED IN BLOOD
8. Dream Death
Arriving home but feeling distraught
Life’s not what it used to be
But it’s the way I was taught
Leave behind the fear of sleep and the oncoming
visions
It’s the battle of your mind, of love and decisions
PRECHORUS:
Because the mind knows weakness
And weakness is fear
In a land where you can scream
But no one can hear
Enter the timeless plane
Mind’s torment and pain
You only have death to lose
And your life to gain
CHORUS:
Dream Death – somebody get me out of this
nightmare
Dream Death – never thought life could be so
damn evil
Ask God to help but he seems to be blind
He would help you if he could see but evil’s in
his mind
Contemplate suicide but the dreams won’t go
away
Death ends life and life starts death, it’s easier
that way
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
Hide in false illusions, is that the only way
You can escape the hate
Put away the past
Before your moral freedoms are taken away
CHORUS
