3. Visions from Beyond the Grave
Visions - From - Beyond - The Grave
Communicate with the dead, after life
communicate with the dead, after death
asking questions, through my crystal ball
now we'll see, what lies, from beyond
The dead will arise
when I invoke

Follow me so you can see visions from the grave

Follow me so you can see visions from the grave

4. Neolithic
Years of development
destroyed in days
begins the genocide
A great fire
from the sky
had affected
the earth, moon and seas
As the earth
began to tilt
all the polar caps
had started to melt
all the seas
had overflown
ripping the continents
apart
Neolithic
Neolithic
As the sky
began to turn dark
and the sun
faded away
all the climates
had begun to drop
and the ground
started to freeze
As the land
began to freeze
All the animals
were trapped inside ice
some animals
had moved to the sea
creating a new
form of life
Stranded on the rivers shores
fossilized in time
As continents ripped apart,
landforms moved to the sea
As continents ripped apart,
landforms moved to the sea
As continents ripped apart,
landforms moved to the sea
Rising, Soaring, Devastating, Annihilation
5. Undead Journey
My will to walk the earth again
to come forth from my grave
Satan gives me the power, to rise again
on my undead journey
As I awaken, in my grave
and wipe the maggots from my face
then open my encrusted eyes
to see the world a second time
Clawing through the casket lid
as I pull up through the ground
My first victim I will find
a young girl on which to dine
My, rotted teeth, ripped into her pure white skin
now warm blood fills my cold veins
flesh is what I seek, brains for me to eat
the feeling I get, re-juvinates my soul
come with me on my undead journey
Walk the earth forever more
6. Before Christ/After Death
Before Christ no one cared
evil was in everyone's heart
sins were committed every day of your life
there was no wrong from right
Then he came to change it all
he really thought he could do some good
the son of God sent to this Earth
but the Romans showed him what he was worth
Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again
Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again
At the last supper he was betrayed
by a friend he thought he had made
maybe he didn't know it all
like he claimed he did
Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again
Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again
Hanging on the cross
with a crown of thorns
the Romans just laughed
"Who is this son of God?"
He died like everyone else
he didn't change a thing
because today
evil rules once again
Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again
Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again
Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again
After Death - There is no more
After Death - There is no more
Jesus Christ - He is no more
7. Andromeda Strain
Modern warfare of today
brings forth a new technology
Killing through scientific means
destroy the world with technology
Now we'll see what is to be
inescapability
Cloud masses concentrate
osmosis fills the sky, sky
Scattered remains, bodies left to decay
on this disease stricken earth, plague of Andromeda Strain
Affected by the gas
reduce them to subhuman form
As I glimpse at, swelled up corpses
infested with, radiated insects
Global chaos - Mass Confusion
The conclusion - of a dying world
Mankinds death is close at hand
the world is hanging by a strand
The key to an obliterated land
no one seems to understand
Andromeda Strain
8. Droid Sector
ENTER THE DROIDS
Cybernetic crafts approaching
through skies lit with fusion discharge
androids from the Gamma quadrant
moving at the speed of death
Now the human race is so vulnerable
invasion set for the attack
"Enter The Droids"
Command - Mission - Destroy - Planet -
Three - From - Their Sun
Caught within my tractor beam
bringing the craft to me
disable the robot for my own use
to aid in my escape
ENTER THE DROIDS
Fleets of ships are now arriving, overtaking
physical evasion is my only demise
left to me for my survival
Gaining data from their systems, overriding
to complete my invention, the time machine
only question is "Will it function?"
9. Destroying the Manger
Mastering the forces of teleportation
gaining the secrets to travel through time
approaching the vortex, chronometer reading 0 B.C.
What was the past will soon be changed
my first priority to destroy the manger
crushing the myth of paradox
Merging with the past
shock waves rip the continuum
How long can I last, travelling at millenium?
Following the North Star shining abright
to the place of the holy birth site
craving my need to kill the one
born of the name "The Nazarene Son"
Destroy The Manger
Destroy The Manger
Destroy The Manger
Destroy The Manger
DIE - BY - THE - SIGN - OF - THE - KEY
DIE - BY - THE - SIGN - OF - THE - KEY
Now that I have you into my sights, Nazarene child
pulling the trigger with no reconcile
blasting away Father, Mother, and Child
laughing hysterically all of the while
For centuries I have awaited this confrontation
in time I will bring them all down
Your savior has now fallen
my reign of evil has only just begun
10. Empire of the Sands
Fortress of steel I have acquired
behold, the chosen one born of fire
victorious, death has won, ruler of cruelty
vicious experiments, creating synthetic slaves
computer hypnosis, cerebral override
Inventing new weaponry
building defense systems
force fields in operation
erecting radar dishes
Empire Of The Sands
Empire Of The Sands
Mapping global surface regions
graphing seismic active areas
establishing aerial viewpoints
charting several outpost stations
Empire Of The Sands
Empire Of The Sands
Testing elements in the ozone
mining useful mineral layers
drilling deep into the core
seeking power from the earth
Building metal walls of armour
forging massive iron thresholds
circuits surround inner cavities
vector brain controlling all
Empire Of The Sands
Empire Of The Sands
computer summons ancient evil
forces beyond recognition
evoking Gods of Sumerian origin
deeply buried in the sands
Obeying the matrix
the tyrant commands
submissive controller
armies of the Empire
