1. Afterlife
I am the vengeance, a link between the worlds
Souring in legions, controller of all
I am the substance of the chaos
There's one dominion, an evil and divine
Spawn the inferno, oblivion calls
Don't look for sanctuary coming
The end is calling
Deceive and destroy
Afterlife - revelations unveil
A blackness remains, the end of the line
Ashes of man, eye of the one divine
The blackness ascends, powers untold
The Afterlife
The heart of chaos, will manifest again
The seed of the serpent, the dagger of doom
So even death can die in deadland
The phantom's aeon
Dream is denied
Afterlife - revelations revive
2. Wake Up Dead
Ride, hell's in fury, an evil in believe
Wrath upon the dead and dreaming
Lie, sins subliminal, I twist in harmony
Blood upon my darkest day
Slit my wrist and watch me bleed
Tighten the noose around my neck
Fear the evil, turn the lights
Wake up dead
I'm falling
I can hear it whisper as I desecrate myself
Wake up dead
It's calling
Wake up dead - alive
Die, life's expendable, taking my last breath
Waiting for my death I'm grieving
Why, in the darkest hours, I can hear my call
Hell for now and evermore
The sins will not justify, the blood on my hands
I'm twisting the knife
Reality is no more, I'm waking up dead and alive
3. The Sinner's Cross
Disengage your fear
and see the devil in the eye
Rearrange the truth
and be a believer to the lie
Is there a way to find,
peace of mind in the life you life
Search the inner soul
And you'll find the rainbow's end again
Far away, far from here
Cross the river, on a shore of another time
Far away, far from here
Cross the river on the other side
There it lies, far away
Seek to find your remedy
Your life is on the wire
Living on the disbelief
Salvation is the crime
4. Hell and Back
Look the beast in the eye, set it free
The animal will be unchained
See deep within, and you'll find what you seek
The powers will lie there unbound
The eye of the mind unfolds the unreal
Open the doors that where closed
Broken the seal to a new world within
Stand in the gateway to hell
Walk through the fire, let no one stand in your way
The unknown waits in the darkness alone
I am falling fast
I'm right in the final hour
Future turns to past
Been sent to hell and back
Nailed to a cross and I spit in disgust
No way that I'll follow the blind
Broken down the shackles that fettered my mind
The devil laughs by my side
Look in my eyes, and see what I've become
Come hell, come fire, I'm not afraid - perpetual at last
5. The Sign
Hear the cry from the underworld,
to pull you under
It's the enemy, the journey ends here
Light the path throughout the night,
it's getting close
Sanctuary in a hollow void
See a sign appear in the dark
Your sould will perish in flames
The Sign of the two turns to one
No savior uo high
The promised euphoria's gone
So hell is life and death
Fell the breath inside your minde,
it prevades your soul
Hear the voices cry, through the never
Your eyes turn inside out; you're all alone now
Feel your heart explode, piece by piece
Pain, suffering just do it,
death is the blessing you seek
Your soul will be free,
Life is an endless torture,
for the mindless and weak
You're killing yourself
6. The Devil's Child
Born into sin,
a lust for the evil
Betrayed and deceived,
benn giving his number
Serpent of death, child of the darkness
A servant to torture, a slave to power
Twisting his mind, the ways of the wicked
There's no turning back
Ten thousand eyes, hiding the glory
Who's the chosen one?
Who could have known, death ws a blessing
It's the Devil's Child
The power he holds, witness the progress
His senses unfold; the choice has been made
Eyes lit with fire, a snake in disguise
Collector of souls, the work must go on
7. Genetic Distortion Sequence
Initiate gentice distortion sequence
Commence involuntary human breakdown
Watch the reconstruction
Beginning of the end
THe world is black and burning - Man has failed
Watch the second coming
A season of decay
World elimination - Activate
Another poor example
Can we survive?
Create the perfect sample of man
Evaluate - Eliminate
Eliminate the world
Genetic evolution
Composite of a man
Obliterate the defects - Mass -produced
Commencing the distortion
Decoding what remains
Redemption and illusion - Enervate
8. Sacrifice
Trapped in a world, where nothing is real
Lost in the fires of hell
Possessed I obey, in shadows I kneel
A sacrament, venom released
I hear'em calling, gripping for my soul
Schizophrenia, the eyes of the death unfold
Tormented mind, soul of black
Lock up in chains forever
Petrified heart eases the pain
I'll be my sacrifice
Shattering world, I will not betray
Rigid I await my command
The whisper is near; it's leading the way
Death - the final demand
Turned around for another side of life
9. Temple of the Dead
A dynasty falls, another reborn
The Pharaoh's legacy, carved into stone
IN scriptures of Re, the God of the Nile
Tell how to bury the chosen
Open the temple
Entomb the soul of the king
As the gate opened up,
and we saw the temple inside
Heard the calling from beyond,
in the temple of the dead
The new king is born, gets the white crown
Reigning in slavery, cult of the damned
The people rebel, dethroning the King
Comes withour warning, a shadow
Break the seal
Awake the soul Re
A prophecy
Then the dead arise, the dead shall arise
10. Hellenium
See them as they come, from blackened sun
Riding'cross the sky
Fear you'll be the one, hunted on the run
A refugee in mind
Dream that this blessing
Will lead you into the light
Blessed by the devil's kiss
Revealing the entrance to hell of night
Hell of night
Stare into the dark, don't look upon the face
Hiding in the night
Degenerated soul, fear it's your disgrace
Lost inside yourself
