1. Sculptures of Pain
Satan is calling
But we can't be free
With him we were falling
Now we stand as we are
Turned to stone
We were giants of heaven
Now we are doomed for two thousand years
We burned in sulphur and fire
Now we are sculptures in chains
Sculptures of pain
Our dreams of Utopia
Were dreams that were real
And some day we'll be there
In a time when our souls
Have been healed
But wings have been broken
Eyes have been darkened by hate
We're trapped in this nowhere
Awaiting the time when we all shall
BE FREE
Sculptures of pain
I - Gabriel the angel
A sculpture of pain
In the middle of nowhere
Not heaven nor hell
I hear him calling
From his throne, I hear him cry
He's crumbled and broken
And he sits where he sits
Made of stone
We're sculptures of pain
We're turned to stone
But we shall be free
His words are clear
We were before
We shall be again
We are sculptures of pain
Crumbled angels of hell
We're meant to be
We shall rule again, we shall be again
We are sculptures of pain
Crumbled angels of hell
We're meant to be
We shall rule again
We shall crack the shell and fly
2. Lost Reflection (Crimson Glory cover)
Locked in this attic
Been here so many years
Shanna won't set me free
She says I'm evil
But then she doesn't know
I'm not pretending, no, not me
Full moon's reflecting
A face in the mirror
Twisted and bleeding
No, you can't be real, no you're
All in my mind
Shades of insanity, you're not me
You're not me
Life in the attic
I like my rocking chair
Staring in shadows
Crouched in the corner
Waiting for something
Laughing at nothing
No one there
And on and on I wonder is there more
What is life beyond the attic door
The full moon in my eyes
Is all that's real
The mirror's lost reflection is in me
Life in the attic
Life in the attic
Life in the attic
Life in the attic
Cobwebs and dusty dreams
Sharp knives and hollow screams
Wide eyes of terror
Clawing the attic door
Can't take it anymore
You better go away!
You're lyin'
Hey!
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Who's there?
No one there
You're not me!
3. Rumours of Rain
Dark eyes staring through crystal
Wild laughs, demons of wisdom
Recall all the heretics of the dawn
Cry out the names of the angels
Spell god as in the beginning
Profane is the devil's grimoire
Salute the sage, he's the last in line
He sin too, well but so do I
He's in all, he's you and me
He is the king of infinity
Rise up, enter my shadow
Siege me, make me eternal
Save me, give me that piece of harmony
Pure me, sermon by fire
Burn up, envious liar
Black skies will darken
The world forever more
In a world of mystery
He shall rule, yes you shall see
He's in all, he's in you and me
He is the king of infinity
Dark angel of sin
He's calling to bring
Preach me the sefer Jezirah
Dark years, Fata Morgana
Black tears falling for the antichrist
Rise up, enter my shadow
Dark eyes, demons of wisdom
Black skies will darken
The world forever more
Salute the sage, he's the last in line
He sin too, well but so do I
He's in all, he's in you and me
He is the king of infinity
Dark angel of sin
He's calling to bring
4. Alley of Oaks
Let's take a walk a sunny day
And find those hidden roads
Which goes to secret places
And to magic nooks
Can you hear the whisperings
From the trees
They're fortelling memories
Creatures you've never seen catch
The gossip from the sizzling leaves
When we walk the alley of the oaks
To where those diffuse shadows loom
Underneath that mound of stone
There lives the beings of your denial
Shadows, luring eyes behind trees and
boulders, oh world of wonders
Can you see, can you see them
They are here closer than you
Wanted them to ever come to you
But it's for real not a fairy-tale
When we walk the alley of the oaks
To where those diffuse shadows loom
Was there something behind me?
What did move over there?
Hear voices and laughter
It's something else here!
5. Battle of EverMore
The wise man and the vagabond
Walking on a mission
Searching for an answer
Looking for a sign
See, the seven seals have been broken
And the world has taken end
Manifestation on the horizon
The battle has begun
Angels fighting angels
Heaven is painted red
A crimson rain is falling
Down on the earth
That we have lent
Battle of Evermore
This is war
The battle of Evermore
Of Evermore
This is war
The battle of Evermore
The battle of Evermore
The battle of Evermore
The battle of Evermore
6. Voulez Vous (ABBA cover)
People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voules-vous
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we got
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous...
I know what you think
"The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink"
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we got
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
La question c'est voulez-vous
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we got
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we got
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
I can still say voulez-vous
7. The Mirror
What's beyond the chamber mirror
The evening coloured secret window
Is there just an inverted picture of
This room's reality
I have witnessed tiny little changes
Within that darkened reflected room
Things have altered seemingly in wrongful
Places of false dimensions
Hypnotised my soul is waiting
Horrified my senses fading
The mirror stares into my soul
Suspiciously I'm moving closer
And I wave my hand before me
In disbelief I watch the image of myself
Yet standing still
I'm staring deep into my eyes
Touch the mirror while I wonder why
In that moment my reflection grabs my arm
And pulls me through
To a room that is reversed
My common sense I feel it burst
The mirror takes what god forsakes
The mirror
Screaming - in silence
Staring out from the mirror
Reality - fades away
And I am locked beyond the mirror
Shadows - near me
Whisperings that scare me
Help me - take me out
Crush the mirror of despair
The mirror
8. Last Rites
He lies awake with his eyes closed
As he thinks of eternity
The last meal served on silver plates
Left a taste of cold steel
His memories haunt him
Though what's past is so far away
He's drowning in fear of death
But does anyone give a damned
First light of the morning
Will witness his fall
At the end of a rope he'll hang
Feeding the crows
As he walks to the gallows pole
The priest reads his last rites
Twelve feet to the ground
Then there's just six more to god
First light of the morning
Will witness his fall
At the end of a rope he'll hang
Feeding the crows
From the end of the gallow
To the land of the dead
He has joined with the hallowed
In the land of the dead
From the end of the gallow
To the land of the dead
He has joined with the hallowed
In the land of the dead
From the end of the gallow
To the land of the dead
He has joined with the hallowed
In the land of the dead
9. Sorrow Calls
In the chilly mist I stand petrified by her eyes dark but blazing eyes of
endless night her velvet veil in silver grey shining through glistening tears
and while the colours fade around her I can feel her sorrow
She can feel no happiness as she feeds the night and she cries for all the ones
she loved in life so alone she weaps the dying there is nothing she can do
just guide us to the dark and lonely skies
She is the end the stars will fall eternal night her sorrow calls
In the chilly mist I stand petrified by her eyes dark but blazing eyes
bereaved the light she is the key to the other world and to the endless night
and her veil embrace my soul combined we fly away
She is the end...
She's for real no mirage the incarnated night
her sorrow calls I must follow and leave this life
What is life, what is death just a state of being
nothing matters anymore I must follow her call
10. Why?
Why?
Taken away and gone forever
Cry
I will always remeber you
If I could turn back time
And make a new tomorrow
Lost
In memories I cry
These tears are meant for you
I'm crying over you
Why take away the life
Of an innocent child
A part of me will always
Be a part of you
Pain
A broken heart, a darkened soul
But life must go on
Even through the darkest times
These tears are meant for you
I'm crying over you
11. Symphony of the Damned
In nomansland between heaven and hell
Madness is chanting my name
Thousand souls erratic in life
Chained in no place berawed their heaven
Out of tune noises pulsating my mind
A fatal opera inferno of sounds
My conscience fading, fading
Nowhere in time
Yesterday is tomorrow and today
Shadeless faces souls with no name
Standing hypnotized going insane
Hearing helplessly
Listen...
To the symphony of the damned
I search for light that I can't find
I search for shadows in this life behind
From south of heaven they are calling me
Through this hysterical psychic custody
I feel hands of compact nothing
Tighten its grip on me
Symphony of the damned
Corridors blindly, I can see them
Flashing by in the shadows of my conscience
There is a voice calling for my soul
In my mind the senses overflowing
To a peak past of what is human
As a god I spread my wings I can fly
I am alive, I got the fire, got the rage
Like a giant bird of prey, I am the night
I am the dark, I am the raven, I am the one
That you would call descended from the sky
Like tears lost in the rain that music fades...
I am sweeping over paradise
Where this god rules in disguise
Further on to a higher place
Where I'm promised to be born again
Like tears lost in the rain that music fades...
That symphony of the damned
