1. Wounds
Time, What is time?, the tale of pain and death, those moments of our lives
Pain never dies, you only suffer more when death stares into your eyes
Wounds never heal, the scars are there to stay as the memory remains
Lost never found, your soul is led astray when your body fades away
Never the same again, scarred by the years of pain
Never the fool again, scarred by the years of pain
To be dead is to always live in their memories
and walk alone on the path of grief
To be dead is to always scream at the silence
forever trapped in a place of pain
Pain, what is pain?, the tales are the pain, the moments never die
Dead are the lies, the truth is here to stay as the liars fades away
Lost, never found, souls are led astray, their words to be slain
Pain never dies, you only suffer more when death stares into your eyes
2. The Nightfall
Dusk, embrace me, enter the kingdom of light
Night, surround me, cover the sky with your might
Thunder, caress me, slap my face with delight
Storm, revocate me, as I scream in your eye
As I scream in your eye, revocate me!
Come, join me, enter domains of night
Lust and pain, taste the devils vine
Thunder, caress me, slap my face with delight
Storm, revocate me, as I scream in your eye
When you call upon me, with a voice of sorrow and tears
I'll be there to guide you, through the dusk and nightfall...
Now the time has come, join my kingdom, taste the vine
Feel the might of eternal nightfall !
Now the time has come, join my kingdom, taste the vine
Solitude in eternal nightfall !
3. At Dusk and Forever
Follow me to the place eternal, full of pain, pleasure and sin
Come with me to a place nocturnal...
After dawn there's an open gateway, to the place beyond and far
After light comes the dusk forever, ripping chains tears your soul apart
At dusk and forever - eternal pain in the darkest of domains
At dusk and forever - after dawn only shadows remains
Walk with me through the darkest wastelands, where nothing grows but your own fear
Come with me into oblivion...
After dawn there's an open gateway, to the place beyond and far
Follow me into oblivion, through the gates of pain and grief...
4. Battles to Come
When the night is there to stay
after daylight has faded away
On a path blacked by pain
I'm waiting for battles to come
When the moon is cold and pale
and the forest whispers my name
I'm cold but warmed by faith
that you'll join me, and. . .
Ride with me tonight !
Guide me through the battles with glory and pride
Stand by me tonight !
Raise your sword and join me in battle with light
When we've slaughtered the fools of light
we shall tear down the portals of might
When their lies are dead and destroyed
we shall build up our kingdom once more
When your sword no longer shines
and your armor is covered with blood
You'll be king until the day
when I call you to. . .
5. The Burning Sky
Words, never thought for a long time
never spoken, crawling in my mind
Brought to life by their own demise, their feeble lies
I remember those days when truth were the way
Remember those days, it's never the same again
Hate, I feel the demon growing strong inside
and vengeance is screaming in my blood
Like thunder roaring in the sky
the burning sky. . .
6. Never Alone Again
View my secrets, crawl inside, taste and feel all my pain
Stand beside me all for one, never leave me again
Help me find the truth beyond, words buried by dust
Open up the slanderer's den, tear and slaughter their lies
Come with me, take my hand
far away from the promised land
Face your fears, as one we stand
never alone again
Close the chapters and set things straight, fools guided by christ
Cross our path and you're bound to die, come, join us tonight
Tear your blindfold, cleanse your mind, lost, setting the way
Find the one of darkness spawned, kill, enlightened assay...
7. Always
I remember a time when temptation was mine
when salvation was blind, divine
The came the lies, and the truth were denied
so I lost the faith, escaped
That's why I'm never going home
never ever going back where I belong
Always running on the same trail of pain
never ever turning back to be the same...
8. Forever Beach
