1. Genesis
I'm the ruler of time
And I'm the creator of life
Because I am the dominator and faith
Condemned by me thou who are immortal
Lights of life, darkness of death
I am your judge
The emperor - a king
I am the ruler of everything
I paint the world with dreams and illusions
You are my puppet on a string so fragile
I watch and demand
The emperor - a king
I will be eternal
When you've been dead and gone
I fool a new believer
A new dimension to your life
I am the ruler of everything
The master of all
2. Dream Horizons
Rest your head and close your eyes
When the dream starts your problems fly
Like a never ending floating stream
You await the exciting dream
To a world of wishes and horrors
Where laughter can turn to sorrows
When the light of the night
Can be so warm and bright
It might be drenched in red
When you wake you wish you were dead
Strangled in a solid iron chain
A harvest of a burning pain
Some of us will slowly awake
Some will the grim reaper take
A kingdom where we'll travel to lay
But a few will eternally stay
Drowning in my own dreams
Beyond the wall of realms
In this alley of shadows
Where it ends no one knows
A place where everything is in unison
You know wisdom better than none
A blue sky and the magic sunlight
Can turn to suffering and everlasting night
Sail with those silent winds
Towards where no one loses, no one wins
A stream of light in my veins
A vision for hell but so in pain
A room full of strangers but I'm alone
Second by second, life's alone
Some of us will slowly awake
Some will the grim reaper take
A kingdom where we'll travel to lay
But a few will eternally stay
3. The Rhyme Of The Elder
Leave me alone
Between my walls of stone
I would travel away from me
Trapped in a jar - can't get free
Goodbye and don't you ever follow
Another day goes by, a mist in grey so shallow
So safe in the youth
Grow older and get the bitter taste in your mouth
Life, oh life, where did you fly?
Were my dreams all set to high?
Life, oh life, where did you fly?
Were my dreams all set to high?
Light of the so treasured life
The curtain of youth will fall
And now enter this sleeping old hall
Where time is a carving sharp knife
For so long I've been awake
Hopefully death won't forsake
And lay my wining body to sleep
A quire will cradle me deep
Life, oh life, where did you fly?
Were my dreams all set to high?
Life, oh life, where did you fly?
Were my dreams all set to high?
All set to high, all set to high?
4. Trapped At The Pharaoes
I've seen the sun set
And transform into the eastern moon
I believe the river of nile will flood real soon
A plague will strongly dominate
Where the curses and misery participates
This claustrophobic moisty air
Makes me shiver in despair
I'm lost, I'm buried alive
I'm searching - I will strive
Arriving to the valley of the kings
Guarded by snakes - I fear their deadly sting
Your own body will come apart
The gods own created art
I hear their voices but they don't hear me
It's all in my mind driven by fear you'll see
Running down this hall of eternal mystery
Covered with webs and sweat
Halfway to insanity
I've seen the sun set
And transform into the eastern moon
I believe the river of nile will flood real soon
A plague will strongly dominate
Where the curses and misery participates
Arriving to the valley of the kings
Guarded by snakes - I fear their deadly sting
Arriving to the valley of the kings
5. Judgement Day
I've sworn a bow so sacred
An ancient whispering so honoured
The fall from grace of God
Bleeding for a decade in respect
The fall from grace of God
Low in spirit - old in thought, so tired
Evolution spinning psychotic backwards
A road to madness walked by generations
As the waves roll with the tide
In your innerself you will hide
As the waves roll with the tide
In your innerself you will hide
Our heritage - a sour ground
Paper on table and pencil in hand
An almost forgotten land
Covered with ashes and sand
There has to be a better place
Than travelling a path of a dying race
The pullotion has taken control
Leaving me in a coma of souls
Say goodbye, we all know why
Air and sun we took for granted
I'll make a bow for all we wanted
As the waves roll with the tide
In your innerself you will hide
As the waves roll with the tide
In your innerself you will hide
6. The Innocent Sleep
Watch me, watch me
At dawn - I'll find my sanctuary
A naked limb patched up so very fresh
Life is for the scared and temporary
Think me, think me - at the morgue in bright light
Lips sewed together - the very last breath
Feel so divine in this morbid make-up
Feed them - watching my eyes
In the reflection of yours
Time for the autopsy, please close the door
Lower me down - I will feed the worms
Where were you when I needed you most
By the name of the father and the holy ghost
Think me, think me - at the morgue in bright light
Lips sewed together - the very last breath
Feel so divine in this morbid make-up
Where were you when I needed you most
By the name of the father and the holy ghost
Where were you when I needed you most
By the name of the father and the holy ghost
7. A New Dawn
Welcome to a wierd place called life
A godforsaken place for beggar man and thieves
Face to face with your own horror and frustration
Followed by expectations of fortune
Swallow your pride, humiliation continues
Stabb or be stabbed, you chose or you lose
Friend or enemy is there a difference
Feed the fire of envy to success
A new dawn, a new place
A new world in our own pace
A new dawn, a new place
A new world in our own pace
Play your own part in this tragic comedy
Chocked by your own life, your act
Climb the ladder , touch of heaven, be a God
Look in the mirror, face your nemesis
Erase me by myself, a favour to me
A new dawn, a new place
A new world in our own pace
A new dawn, a new place
A new world in our own pace
8. Blissfull
Drifting away, embraced by silvery veils of grey
Something grasps my senses and gently strokes my face
Prayers got granted, at last detatched from all despair, all the past
The lewd life I led, all the blood I shed
My mortal remains soon wilted and decomposed
Where am I now and who is my host?
Overwhelmed by such perfect beauty
Wrapped up in fathomless harmony
I close my eyes, no need to see, as nature is
Delivering me
I close my eyes, no need to see as nature is
Delivering me
