1. The Latter Rain
2. In the Midnight Hour
In the midnight hour
The moment it all will come down
The earth will roar and its people will tremble
As the unforeseeable comes to pass
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day
Beware until morning comes
Some will succumb, but some will never surrender
Their agonized screams abrubtly quelled
In this moment families will be torn apart
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day
Beware until morning comes
A world full of hate
Where love is weakness
People are deceived by snakes
So many fail to see through their veil of lies
Man striving for none but himself
Human greed drives this world to the edge
One day will they all regret
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
The moment it all will come down
The earth will shake and people shiver
The unforeseeable will come to pass
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day
People will fall and some will never surrender
The masses, raped, cry out in pain
When it will happen families will be ripped apart
In the roaring of the midnight hour
Some day
Beware until morning comes
Morning brings the rising sun
The beginning of a new world
Serenity, deliverance
For some
Hear the pounding of the drums
The moment of truth will rend all we knew
Hear the sound of the mighty horn
In a winter night so glimmering and
cold eternity will rise
3. Det Rakner!
Kunstig fremtidsoptimisme
og falsk glede.
Harde kår og fremtidens vrede.
Håpet svinner, bedrøvede sinn.
Bringer morgendagen glede
led den inn
Livet vi levde svinner hen.
Gleder vi deler blir færre.
Livet rakner!
Ting må snu.
Livet rakner!
Vi ledes mot dypet.
Tiden går, mennesker forgår.
Brorskap går til grunne,
familier splittes.
Jammer gir gjenklang i byer.
Disharmoni er.
Livet vi levde svinner hen…
Rettferdighet må vike for urett.
Moral kveles av egoisme.
Empati er satt til side.
Likegyldighet lever.
Slit og besvær preget vår hverdag.
Prøvelser førte oss på avveier.
I ly av avmakt,
sakte vår dag forgikk.
Mennesker graver sin egen grav.
Livet vi levde svinner hen…
Rettferdighet må vike for urett…
Livet vårt rakner
vi ledes mot dypet.
Sakte vi graver vår egen grav.
Livet vårt rakner
vi ledes mot dypet.
Sakte vi graver vår egen grav.
Europa brenner.
4. October´s Monody
Like a thief in the night.
I didn’t see it coming.
As it creaped nearby.
It burns.
Destruction in it’s wake.
Ashes by ashes.
It will all fall apart.
Screams in the night.
No mercy to be found.
Agony rises.
Dismay and fright.
Hope is fading.
No sign of daylight.
Apathy fills the room.
Discourage takes control.
Taking what is left.
No more strengt to find.
You will find no cure for this.
Ashes by ashes.
It will all fall apart.
Screams in the night.
No mercy to be found.
Agony rises.
Dismay and fright.
Hope is fading.
No sign of daylight.
I wish I could find a ship and just sail on by.
Let the wind guide me all the way.
Watch all the birds leave and follow them.
In search for warmer land.
The rebirth of time.
Will leave no man behind.
The rebirth of time.
Will conclude the faith of all mankind.
Relieve us of our torment.
5. Their Spirits Ride with the Wind
Their spirits will rise
They will rise at the end of time
Now they ride with the wind
Across the lands of the ancient times
They possess memories of glory and fall
Their spirits will rise
Arise at the end of time
"Banished and betrayed, hunted by empires
Slaughtered in numbers, killed by plagues
The people were brave, but they were chosen to die
In the end they found rest in their promised green land
Once they moved like the wind, now their spirits ride with the wind
Their presence still lives in their pillaged lands"
6. I Total Triumf
7. The Titan
8. As I Wither
I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of…
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I’m falling down again…
Left behind! Rage descended from bitterness.
Still the old bonds hold me. My feet stuck in the anger.
Years filled with sorrow and pain. Has hardened my heart.
Tearing my soul in pieces. My life slowly fades away.
I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of…
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I’m falling down again…
Falling...
As I grasp for the utter palm. All that is left is misery.
Dragging me down. Only to feel despair again.
I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of…
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I’m falling down again…
Feel the rain as it floats on by.
Rain washing clean all the sins.
Feel the smell of morning.
Before you putrefy and decay.
Vanish the absence of emptiness!
Glorify life and release.
Perish the syndrome that haunts me!
Before it drags me away…
Falling down again…
On my way into the shadows. Still the air is calm.
No longer keeping me searching. As my life fades away…
I wither like an oak with dead roots.
Leaves falling of.
Never to return. There is no spring in sight.
As I seek suppression and grace, I am falling down again…
