1. She Is The Dark

A cruel sleep 'cross our landAll withered and dyingAs the[y] fall, the victimsThey're dying a sad deathIn our land, we lay downAnd suffer againA dark girl 'cross our landIs pacing. Is preyingAnd with her, a feverA marching black feverNo eyes see. No featuresJust black form, sufferingYou have her sympathyYou have her tearsShe tries only to takeAll your fearsThe pain she feelsWhen she drinks your soulIs hers to sufferIt is her tollBelieve me, she's helplessWhen she curses our [signs "your"?] landWhen she swallows lightIt's not her handPoison awaits when you kiss herHer heart cries out for you, for meUntold misery is hers to serveout for eternityOut cold. Mankind will stayforevermore if she gets her wayShe can't help it. It's her curseTo sing your pain in her own verseShe is the darkThe nightmares you hideThe pain you feelThe suffering insideThough she was like youThrough her dark pastBut now, the conquerorHer choirs vastOh, please forgive herAs mankind diesAs angels weepAnd heaven cries




2. Edenbeast

All are welcome hereTo the Eden FeastEnter if you willThis is EdenbeastFaces stay hiddenBehind their dark masksIn arms they enterThe Great Hall of SinEden, calls againFor sick minds. For meInside there. All laid bareTake your pick. Devour nowLust clawing at your feetDesires for you to greetEvery woman a handsome treatYoung seed for you to reapAnyone that you desireLeave your faith at the doorAny pleasures you requireLay all around, upon the floorSome call this blasphemyAnd try to end it allThey question our sanityAnd preach Christliars' call"Seat yourself young manDo you see them feed?As the feast goes on,Do you feel their greed?"It's my fear that tears me downBut this night we'll have no tearsI want you. Beautiful gownTake my hand. We'll have no tearsKiss me deep. I want you nowIn my arms, we'll have no fearsInside there. All laid bareTake your pick. Devour nowWhen you've had your fillOf poisonous fleshLeave this place of sinAnd watch your back for death




3. The Night He Died

I clasp her dying body to bloody mineThe essential nature of her was so fineWith torn garments she lays in my armsWomanly graces laid bareNo dignityCast aside like nothing at allTorn was sheShot down and strewn on wastelandIn her primeOpened up for the world to seeOh, the love of mineNo more tears for me nowLose all fears for me nowShould I seek revengeor let it lie?Should I find the oneand let him die?I wonder what you would doif it were youOne black, furious midnightThrough howling rainI descended right upon himMy weeping preyKissing him as his life endedIn the rainSweet was my revengeA life for lifeI feel no remorseThe night he diedI wonder what you would doif it was you?




4. The Light At The End Of The World

An isle, a bright shining islestands forever, alone in the seaOf rock and of sand and grassand shale, the isle bereft of trees.- Small. A speck in the wide bluesea. 'Tis the last of all the land.A dweller upon our lonesomeisle, the last, lonely man? -By the Gods he is there tonever leave, to remain all hislife. His punishment forevermore, to attend theeternal light.The lighthouse, tall and brilliantwhite, which stands at the endof the world. Protecting shipsand sailors too, from rock theycould be hurledYet nothing comes and nothinggoes 'sept the bright blue sea.Which stretches near and faraway, 't is all our man can see.Though, one day, up high onrock, a bird did perch and cry.An albatross, he shot a glance,and wondered deeply, why?Could it be a watcher sent?A curse sent from the Gods,who sits and cries and stares at him,the life that they have robbed.Each year it comes to watchover him, the creature from above.Not a curse but a reminder ofthe woman that he loved.- Oh weary night, under stars,he'd lay and gaze.Up towards the moon and stars.The suns dying haze.Time and again, Orion's lightfilled our man with joy.Within the belt, he'd see his love,remembering her voice -The twinkle from the stars abovebled peace into his heartAs long as she looks down on himhe knows they'll never partOne day good, one day badThe madness, the heat, the sun,Out to sea, he spies upon land.His beloved Albion.Cliffs of white and trees of greenChildren run and play,'My home land' he cries and weeps,why so far away?Eyes sore and red. Filled with tears,he runs towards the sea.To risk his life, a worthy cause,for home he would be.Into the sea, deep and blue,the waters wash him clean.Awake. He screams. Cold with sweat.And Albion a dream.- Such is life upon the isle,of torment and woe.One day good. One day bad.And some days, even hope.The light at the end of the worldburns bright for mile and mileYet tends the man, its golden glow,in misery all the while?For fifty years he stands and waits,atop the light, alone.Looking down upon his islethe Gods have made his home -The watcher at the end of the worldthrough misery does defile.Remembers back to that single nightand allows a tiny smile.(His sacrifice was not so great,he insists upon the world.Again he would crime,Again he would pay,for one moment with the girl)Her hair, long and black it shone,The dark, beauty of her eyes,Olive skin and warm embrace,her memory never dies.'Twas years ago, heremembers clearthe life they once did live.Endless love and lust for life,they promised each would give.Alas, such love and laughter too,was short as panting breathFor one dark night, her soulwas kissedby the shade of death.(Agony, like none before,was suffered by our man.)who tends the light nowburning brighton the very last of land.(Anger raged and misery toolike nothing ever before.)He cursed the Gods and manand life,and at his heart he tore.- A deity felt sympathyand threw our man a light'Your woman you may see again,for a single night. -But think hard and well young man,there is a price to pay:to tend the light at the end ofthe worldis where you must stay.Away from man and life and love.Alone you will be.On a tiny isle. A bright shining islein the middle of the sea.'- 'I'll tend the light, for one more nightwith the woman whom I love',screamed the man, with tearful eyes,to the deity above.And so it was that very nighthis lover did return.To his arms and to their bed,together they did turn.In deepest love and lust and passionentwined they did fall.Lost within each other's armsthey danced (in lover's ball). -- Long was the night filled with love.For them the world was done.Awoke he did to brightest light,his woman and life had gone.To his feet he leapt. To the sea he looked.To the lighthouse on the stone.The price is paid and from now onhe lives forever alone.Fifty years have passed since thenand not a soul has he seen.but his woman lives with him stillin every single dream.'Tis sad to hear how young love has diedto know that, alone, someone has cried.but memories are ours to keep.To live them again, in our sleep.-




5. The Fever Sea

Over me. Cover me.Deep inside THE FEVER SEA.Lame from my mothers wombBorn a cripple and sick. Under a red moon.My hands bleed. Feet red raw.I'm a broken man who dreamt the great war.The fear of life swallows me.Takes me through THE FEVER SEA.They crawl to me. Cry for me.I'll drown them all in THE FEVER SEA.The feast flows on forever.Devour me until never.Fill them all with horror.Let them sleep with terror.Who calls me now, then turns away?Who takes the night, and brings day?Lame from my fathers hand.Born to heal. Heal in every land.I will never get out.I even prayed unto his house.The cold feel of my skin.I try to lose but alwys win.Lame from my own hand.Believe me I've tried. Tried to make a stand.




6. Into The Lake Of Ghosts

Enter the Ghost Lake.The waters whisperOf something brooding.No way out of here.Slow smouldering,Slow rain[ing] heat.Lapping at your skinPulling you down again.I wish that I couldFan back to lifeThe dying embersOf my long lost passion.Descending deeper.With black as my light.With twist and turn.All men will be tried in life.We look for light to call.The call to save us all.Lest we fall to our knees.The death, we kiss his feet.Oh, sacred mother come.For our fate is done.In blindness do we runAlways backwards.The care of manyWas lost in my hands.The sickness came inFloods of torment and woe.My withered body.Aching and bone tired.My christ who art lord.Hold me down again.Knee bent and head held low.Eyes closed against my foe.In prayer I sing on low.Answers to my last call.Oh, sacred father come.For it is you who's done.In blindness do we [signs "you will"] run.And be sure not to fall.Oh, christ, what have I done?Ill fortune now will come.Fire raining from the sun.All virtue swept away.In floods of blackest death.The ghost will take my breath.My sins I will forget.I am nothing again.Exit the Ghost Lake.the waters silent.What now has risen?No man stands alone.The world is changing.'Tis misery whoLeads our way now.Holding man down.




7. The Isis Script

You know they lied.To us they lied.Remember them?The final words.All these years.All these fears.Remember them?Ancient words.We'll take it from you when we like.You will suffer for nothing in your own home.Will you help me fight them off?They are killing me.Help me with my broken heart.The endless dark.Will you keep them far from me?Oh, the misery.I need a friend to lay upon.To be my sun.Oh, lord help me with my pain.I'm dead again.Beliefs have taken me to my end.Beliefs have taken me down again.The words I have followed, took me down again.The lies that I have read over again.Leaves are falling words from the earth.Spoken in silence. Never heard.




8. Christliar

Time wears out affections.I hope to be missed.Your presence on my wing.Arise from my sickness.My hopes, eclipsed by failures.Dismal moments fall on me.A terrible sobbingEchoed through my own house.The lightening gets frightening.Oh, cover me.Memories of her sadden me.(are killing me)Believe me. The suffering. The agony.My young love taken from me,Too early.Beware! I will seek you. Find you.Vengeance is mine. Wherever you hideYou know I will find.Your face! I see, I won't forget.I'll be right there.Preying on you in every dream.You will never leave me again.By your red hand.You left me here to suffer and die.Eyes black. Cold face.Your stare burned me.The sears will be with me,Until my last day.My grip on you grows tight.I will choke you untilI hear your last fucking breath.Into your eyes I'll smile. I'll cry.And when you are goneNo-one alive will grief for you.




9. Sear Me III
