1. Death on the Road
2. Road of Bones
Thrown into a driving snowstorm
My eyes fill with darkness
I spoke against my country
And paid the price
Before me, foul Kolyma
Hungry maw swallows thousands
Feed her with the poor, the innocent
To work the mines
Ride, ride, ride on the road of bones
Die, die, die on the road of bones
Desolation does surround me
Permafrost is my cold bed
I'm a zombie of the Gulag
Dying slowly and living dead
Forty degrees below the redline
The purga blizzards howl
I curl up in my tent
To count my final days
Who I was no longer matters
I am nothing; I am no one
Just a tooth on this grinding gear
To break and be cast away
Ride, ride, ride on the road of bones
Die, die, die on the road of bones
Dread Vorkuta, whore of torture
Spreads her foul hands across the plain
In her clutches, Russia's children
Pray for death to end the pain
Discovered in this land of solitude
A message scratched into a frozen stone:
"We died here, our skin a frozen blue.
Remember us, the forgotten and alone."
On a day when the sun rose darkly
Body broken, spirit fled
The wind, it blew so hard,
My wounds scarcely bled.
Now I join the countless millions
Who in toil have died before me
Their bones ground into dust
To pave this road to hell
Ride, ride, ride on the road of bones
Die, die, die on the road of bones
3. Scarlet Enigma
Born on a dark and lonely day
Shivering screams of agony
Wracked by self-inflicted ache
Slicked with sick tears
Effluvia of a broken soul
Coalesce into humid hatred
Lightning of rememberance sharpens
The razor's edge, fine and beautiful
On some dark moon, the rush will come
In what form I know not
Maybe rope, maybe fire, maybe powder and flint
Or as simple pounding flesh
But I will come
And you will speak my name
I am the unspeakable
I am the unknown
I am the stapled mouth
I am the thing which cannot be... yet
I am the unspeakable
I am the dead thing
I am the breath which leaves you
And I am the long years waiting
Thread of the pulse, sand on the tongue
Quaking with desire
Hatred burns the veins
I feed upon your fear
Nestled in the cardiac quarter
This undying snake of fury
Corruption twists to decay
Beauty turns to black
On some black sun, the dam will burst
And I will become
Formed of wire, or of steel, or of nails that peel
Instead of crucify
But I will come And you will speak my name
I am the unspeakable
I am the unknown
I am the stapled mouth
I am the thing which cannot be... yet
I am the unspeakable
I am the red death
I am the long years waiting
And I am your dying breath
When will it end? For if I knew...
When will it end? Because for you...
I am the unspeakable
I am the unknown
I am the stapled mouth
I am the thing which cannot be... yet
I am the unspeakable
I am the dead thing
I am the breath which leaves you
And I am the long years waiting
I am the unspeakable
I am rusted rage
I am blood on the wall
I am the cold edge of the blade
4. March to the Guillotine
The heads of those who've sinned are spiked upon the gate
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here
A dog's death shall be your fate
March march march march march march
To the guillotine!
March march march march march march
To the guillotine!
The blade is coming down, your life's about to end Despite your daily prayers, the church is not your friend You live to see your death, picked up and turned around Then cast away like chaff to rot upon the ground
I fear thee not, for I am the heathen soul
Eternal pain does not await me
My death shall set me free.
March march march march march march
To the guillotine!
March march march march march march
To the guillotine!
The blade is coming down, your life's about to end Despite your daily prayers, the church is not your friend You live to see your death, picked up and turned around Then cast away like chaff...
March march march march march march
To the guillotine! (repeat 4 times)
5. Wings of the Blackheart
A restless soul of courage
He sought the air
To dive and soar so graceful
Where only angels dare
This reckless ace, he lives to win!
On the wings of a Blackheart
Fly and fight tonight
On the wings of a Blackheart
Hero of the blazing sunlit sky
No pain or risk can stop him
His mind, it knows no fear
On his wings of death he hunts you
Behind the clouds he disappears
The o'er green fields he soars away....
Climbing into the sun, he attacks!
Whip stall, bullets cutting right through you
Blackheart, death's head, and a handsome face
Time's up, explode and fall in flames!
Across the ocean, he journeys to the West
Swallowed by indigo unknown
The Blackheart vanishes into time
On the wings of a Blackheart
Fly and fight tonight
Hero of the blazing sunlit sky
6. Hymn of Erin
In the crimson dawn, we wake to greet the final day
Soon our emerald fields will run with blood, echo with pain
We defend our shores, in the face of unfair odds
Giving honor with our deaths to the ancient gods
Will your eyes be the last thing I see?
Morrigan, bring us to glory!
Rise! Against the tide!
Man and bride, proud warriors so bright
Fight for the Isle
And your smile will follow me through death
Together with our mothers,
Sisters, husbands, fathers, brothers, sons
We go into battle as one
Behind twin bronze shields we shed our blood upon our rings of gold
Our motal lives fading to ghosts of old
Will your eyes be the last thing I see?
Morrigan, bring us to glory!
Rise! Against the tide!
Man and bride, proud warriors so bright
Fight for the Isle
And your smile will follow me through death
This dire morn
We soaked the ground a bloody red
Fianna born
Fionn mac Cumhail, lead us all
The ancient Irish dead
Will your eyes be the last thing I see?
Morrigan, bring us to glory!
Rise! Against the tide!
Man and bride, proud warriors so bright
Fight for the Isle
And your smile will follow me through death
7. Phoenix
In the darkness, lies so deep a spark of burning crimson fire
And flame which now do sweep upon the feathers of the bird
We all do long to keep, to hear its wondrous cry
So sweet and pure we weep, we watch it burn away
Born of fire, born of pain
See the birth of the phoenix aflame
Born of fire, and of flame
Spread her wings she's a phoenix again
(repeat)
She is come from the ashes
Conflagration rise
To burn up the sky
Flying oh so high
Calling out in true passion
Molten beauty streams
Made from stuff of dreams
Born of fire, born of pain
See the birth of the phoenix aflame
Born of fire, and of flame
Spread her wings she's a phoenix again
(repeat)
A red gleam in the darkness
Crimson feathers fall
Hearing the call
We listen one and all
You will journey through madness
Searching through the lies
With your burning eyes
Scorching fire! Flames that burn the shell of falsehood Reveal beauty, hidden in the depths of all our souls
Born of fire, born of pain
See the birth of the phoenix aflame
Born of fire, and of flame
Spread her wings she's a phoenix again
(repeat)
She is come from the ashes
Conflagration rise
To burn up the sky
Flying oh so high
Calling out in true passion
Molten beauty streams
Made from stuff of dreams
Phoenix aflame!
8. Broken Glass
Red star of hatred
Burns inside me to the core
As evening lies down on the ground
I kiss the dirt and declare war
A warrior on the battlefield
Red ruin my homeland heart
Sable sky drowns the light
Defense is torn apart
Gaze into the dreaming pool
Pain clouds my reflection
I'm trapped inside the broken glass
Can't see the future or the past
Broken glass
Moon shines upon my steel
As I call the deadly duel
Meet my strength with your force
Engage in battle cruel
Meet me in the bleeding fields
There's no protection
I'm trapped inside the broken glass
Can't see the future or the past
Broken glass
Pain, fury, sorrow, hell
Red sun of rebirth
Dries the old tears from my eyes
As morning streaks over the sky
I cross my heart and hope to die
A cenotaph on the verdant field
Pale ghost my silent self
Azure sky blaze with light
Drown me in your wealth
Meet me in the dreaming fields
9. Castle in the Clouds
In the land of all is lost
In the realm of insanity
The Castle sprawls on her hill and stretches to the sky
In lazy disregard
Fear the Castle, flee her minions
Fear the Castle, as she crouches in the clouds
A thousand sightless eyes
Survey her morbid realm
Black asphalt tongue licks up ants of madness as they crawl Into her gaping maw
Fear the Castle, flee her minions
Fear the Castle, as she crouches in the clouds
The fading light, like the death of hope,
Is cast upon her dormered brow by a sun obscured in smoke
Desperation is written on her doors
With lock and key they keep the screams from seeping through the floors In the gloom,
fear rises from her heart
Up secret stairs these vast nightmares come searching for their mark
They take the form of slender pins of steel
Which silence and divide the minds of those come here to heal
The torn skin of her walls
Bleeds dust, choking and dry
This monolith is a prison for the lonely prisoners of the imprisoned mind
Fear the Castle, flee her minions
Fear the Castle, as she crouches in the clouds
She reigns, this gothic goddess
In her crumbling red and gray, she stands alone and impervious to the pain within
Seeking nothing but the succor of madness to fill her veins
Her scars run deep, to the bedrock, the ledge
As summer heat rises to a leaden, airless sky
The sickness within her seeps out and turns the fields to brown
This road to endless hell
Is paved with good intentions
Black tunnels and twisting halls leading from salvation to hell and back again
Fear the Castle, flee her minions
Fear the Castle, as she crouches
Fear the Castle, flee her minions
Fear the Castle, as she crouches in the clouds
10. God of Vengeance
The raiders struck, a hammer of their god,
To sweep through our town, leave it all aflame
I watched my father's blood run down to the sea
And planned my revenge
As I get upon my knees
Raise my sword to hall on high
I look upon the velvet stars
And know the gods say I will die
I will pledge myself to thee
Oh, Odin one-eye, high above.
Grant me wisdom and the strength
To fight for the things that I love
For the gods
And a life of the olden ways
Odin's might
Odin's sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
One-eyed god
Hall on high
Welcome me
I fight to die
Odin's might
Odin's sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
Bloodied helm
Broken shield
Riding free
Valkyrie, take me
While the ice cracks and groans in pain
I look to the South and think about the day
When I will rally my crew, we will take to the waters
And blow the horns of war
When the fjords are running cold
The drakkars come around the bend
Dragonheads taste of the wind
Swords are sharpened to defend
I'll be standing on the prow
Bringing vengeance with the waves
Ravens feast upon the blood
While we lay you in your graves
You will pay
For the lives you took on that day
Odin's might
Odin's sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
One-eyed god
Hall on high
Welcome me
I fight to die
Odin's might
Odin's sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
Bloodied helm
Broken shield
Riding free
Valkyrie, take me
As vengeance burns deep in my eyes
In the glory of war,
A sword did strike me down
So cold on this strand, I wait for the maiden of war
To take me home
As I fall upon my knees
Turn my gaze to hall on high
Even though my sight is dim
I see Valhalla, warm and wide
Passing through these golden doors
My father reaches out his hand
To lead me to the afterlife
I earned defending my own land
"Come my son
You are brave; I am well avenged!"
